30 Body Language Cues That Indicate Your Relationship Is Doomed
Don't be blindsided when your S.O. says they want out.
They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to assessing a relationship—whether it's yours or someone else's—you can do that very thing with surprising accuracy.
While words may convey some of what you mean, body language can paint a much clearer picture of what's actually going on in a relationship. From the way you stand to the way you kiss to your posture around your partner, your body language tells a story about those feelings you're not necessarily expressing with words—including how you really feel about your significant other.
Curious whether your relationship is heading towards the point of no return? We've rounded up some surefire body language cues courtesy of top experts that signal that your significant other wants out.
Their feet point away from you when you talk.
If you're worried about the status of your relationship, then look at how your partner sits when the two of you talk. As Jon Rhodes, a clinical hypnotherapist, explains: "If your partner consistently turns their feet and torso away from you when speaking, then they are probably losing interest in you. They may still turn their head towards you to be polite, but their feet and body are saying they want to get away from you."
They're biting their lip a lot.
Try as your partner might to cover up their lies, their body language is bound to give them away in the end. And though everyone exhibits nervousness in different ways, body language expert Janine Driver notes that without a doubt, the biting of the lip "says that [your partner] is holding something back."
They're crossing their legs.
When you and your partner are having a heated conversation, the last thing you want to see is their legs crossed. Why? According to psychologist Travis Bradberry, this can "signal that a person is mentally, emotionally, and physically closed off"—and those aren't exactly ideal circumstances when it comes to settling a spousal argument.
They never give you their undivided attention.
Naturally, your significant other is going to look at their phone every now and again—but if you notice that your partner only ever seems to check their notifications when you are talking to them, then you may want to have a serious conversation about where the relationship is going.
"If your partner is always on their cell phone—looking at YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram—they may be more focused on what's going on there than in the relationship," explains Katie Ziskind, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of Wisdom Within Counseling.
Your walking is no longer in sync.
One of the signs of a strong and healthy relationship is synchronized walking. As Patti Wood, a body language expert and author of SNAP: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma explained to Good Housekeeping: "The goal is for couples to walk with their feet side by side on an invisible line. When this walking pattern is disrupted, it indicates that there is disconnect between the couple."
Their embraces are less enthusiastic.
Pay attention to the way your partner kisses you and whether those embraces feel any different. "Kissing is an emotional, biological, and physiological boost," body language expert Tonya Reiman explained to INSIDER, "[and so] if your partner kisses you with less enthusiasm, it's a red flag."
And they don't last very long.
"When a relationship is troubled or there is not that much emotional commitment, we tend to touch only with our fingertips or touch ever so briefly," writes Joe Navarro, M.A., a body language expert and author of Dating: Body Language Basics. "This is called 'distal touching' and is our subconscious way of touching those we dislike or can barely tolerate. When you or your partner begins to touch less or merely with the fingertips, loving sentiments have probably been withdrawn."
They don't make eye contact.
"If your partner never makes eye contact with you, there may be an issue there," explains Ziskind. "When people avoid eye contact, it can mean that they're lying or are disconnected emotionally."
They roll their eyes at you.
According to Dr. John Gottman, a leading expert in marital stability, the number one predictor of divorce is contempt, expressed via things like eye rolls, mimicry, and sneering. As soon as you notice contemptuous body language cues seeping into your relationship, make an effort to talk to your partner about what's bothering them and (hopefully) you can patch up problem areas before it's too late.
They give you pats on the back.
Though pats on the back are comforting in times of distress, they're the last thing anyone ever wants from the person who's supposed to be their romantic partner—and they're never a good sign, body-language-wise. "If your partner begins to pat you on the back during a hug, it immediately desexualizes it," Wood told Good Housekeeping. "Let's face it: You and your partner aren't just teammates."
They fake their smiles.
People in happy relationships don't have to fake their enthusiasm, so seeing your partner with "a smile that doesn't go all the way up to their eyes" is usually a pretty good indication that something in the partnership is amiss, according to psychotherapist and relationship coach Toni Coleman, LCSW, CMC.
They cross their arms.
"Naturally, when people enter a relationship, they start exposing themselves to the other individual, and opening their stomach area to someone is a growing sign of trust," explains David Barbour, co-founder of wellness company Vivio Life Sciences. "If someone starts avoiding such intimacy or starts a process of 'shelling up' and guarding themselves, it may just be an unconscious reaction to losing feelings—they no longer desire that relationship or intimacy."
They furrow their eyebrows at you.
Every part of the human body is capable of giving away a person's innermost irritations, including your eyebrows. As trial lawyer Maria Katrina Karos explained to CNN, the furrowing of the eyebrows "almost always means something negative," so pay attention to your partner's brow movements if you're worried about your future together.
They're unenthusiastic in the bedroom.
"When your partner becomes unresponsive to sex or avoids sex totally, then this is an obvious sign that your partner is unhappy," writes Arrey John Arrey, author of The Secret of a Successful Relationship & Marriage. "When there is no sexual connection, it could be as a result of your partner being secretly unhappy."
They jab their finger in your direction.
"If your husband is bearing his teeth or jabbing his finger at your chest, he may be unconsciously trying to threaten you into submission—even if he doesn't actually touch you," Stella Resnick, Ph.D., a psychotherapist and author of The Pleasure Zone: Why We Resist Good Feelings & How to Let Go and Be Happy, explained to Redbook. In these instances, it's possible that your argument is more than meets the eye, and the fate of your relationship depends on you getting to the bottom of the real issue.
They lean away from you when you're together.
Emotional closeness is often mirrored by physical closeness, so pay attention to how much space your partner puts between the two of you when you go out to dinner or just relax on the couch. "One posture sign that says the relationship is not going to last is subtle leaning back away from their partner when sitting or standing together," says Coleman.
They make a lot of gestures with their left hand.
If and when your partner uses their hands to gesture something, pay attention to which hand they use—left or right. Why? As body language expert Jan Hargrave explained to ABC 13: "Too many left-handed gestures are associated with someone being uncomfortable with what they're saying to you." Basically, if you notice your spouse start to utilize their left hand more, it's probably time to start questioning those "late nights at the office."
Their pupils don't dilate when they see you.
When you come across someone whom you feel sexually attracted to, your eyes—and more specifically, your dilated pupils—give you away almost instantly. Conversely, it's easy to tell when a lover is losing interest—just look into their eyes when you kiss, and their pupils will tell you exactly what you want to know.
They touch their neck during conversation.
"Oftentimes, touching the neck or throat indicates that someone is keeping something from another person," Wood explained to Good Housekeeping. "The throat is the gateway for words, and therefore it's one of the most vulnerable parts of the body."
They're sighing all the time.
Believe it or not, body language cues can also be found in your partner's voice and intonations. And according to Coleman, one vocal indication that something in the relationship is off is when your partner is adding "non-audible noises like sighs, pauses, and silences that didn't used to be an issue" into every conversation.
They're short with you.
When your partner responds to your questions and prompts with short, one-worded answers like "yes," "no," and "OK," this is likely a verbal sign that your relationship is doomed. Of course, it's possible that your significant other could just be stressed or busy, but if their tone is agitated and aggressive, then it's safe to assume that you're the source of their anger—even if you didn't do anything to deserve it.
They're pursing their lips a lot.
When you confront your significant other about their alleged whereabouts, pay attention not just to what they say, but what their mouth does while they say it. "[Pursed lips] can indicate extreme anxiety, withholding information, and withholding aggression," wrote Wood on her blog. "When you are nervous, your mouth becomes dry, and you lick your lips and swallow as you struggle to find the right words to say."
They're making an uncomfortable amount of eye contact.
Though a lack of eye contact can signal that a relationship is heading in the wrong direction, so too can too much eye contact. "Since we know looking away will be interpreted as rude, people overcompensate by making too much eye contact, to ensure they aren't perceived as inhospitable," body language expert Steven Keyl explained to INSIDER.
Their hands are always in their pockets.
If your partner is using his or her pockets to hide their hands while you converse, then it's possible (and likely even) that they are hiding something from you. "Liars tend to keep their hands hidden and still," Wood noted on her blog. "When people are trying to hide their true feeling or the truth they may stick their hands in their pockets, clench them together, or hold them behind their backs."
Their facial expressions are inappropriate.
Though it's important for partners to be independent and think for themselves, there are certain instances in which being on the same page is vital to the success of a relationship. "It's troubling when one person in the relationship doesn't show the correct emotional response given the situation," Susan Constantine, human behavioral expert and author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Reading Body Language, told Good Housekeeping. "If your partner is stressed, your face should reflect that. The same goes for any emotion that your partner feels."
They shy away when you try to touch them.
Most people prefer to express their fondness for their partners via physical contact. Should you start to notice that your partner shies away from your embraces and advances, this might be an unconscious body language cue that the honeymoon phase is long over.
They move their hand away when you try to hold it.
Naturally, not all people enjoy public displays of affection—but if you find that your partner is shying away from holding your hand, even inside the comfort of your own home, then there might be some growing feelings of disdain and resentment there that are worth addressing.
They're constantly checking the time.
Your significant other should be cherishing every moment they get to spend with you, not glancing at their watch while you talk in the hopes that they'll soon be able to return to their Netflix binge. It's when your relationship becomes a nuisance to your partner rather than an enjoyment that you know that there are larger issues at play.
They keep their elbows locked when you embrace.
Where do your partner's elbows go when the two of you hug? If they tend to stay locked during embraces, then it's more than likely that your significant other is purposely keeping their arms close to their body so as to make as little contact with you as possible.
They're physically far away from you.
"The distance an individual keeps between you and them says a lot," Ali Craig, an international consultant and bestselling author, explained to INSIDER. "People who like each other generally don't have problems being in close physical proximity to each other. If you dislike someone, however, you are less likely to position yourself very close to them."

Telltale is a pop punk band from Richmond, Virginia that has just released their debut EP.
Entitled Good Intentions, the record is a decent introduction to the band's style, both lyrically and musically. The instrumentals are solid, and the vocal harmonies are a strong point of the record. The songs have their strongest points in the choruses, and this is really where the band's talent shows.
The record has some issues, which I imagine will improve with time. Verses at times don't have quite the same polish that the choruses do. A point of contention for me was random metalcore screaming in certain songs that didn't seem to fit the track.
Additionally the lyrics seem to be a little too focused on one singular subject, that being romantic relationships. I realize you have to write what you know as a songwriter, so as the band ages I imagine their lyrics will also. As the band grows in their songwriting, it'll be interesting to see how they expand their thematic contact.
I don't want to come across as negative, however, as the EP is still a fairly pleasant listen. This is still a decent debut from a band that clearly has talent. They just need to continue to grow, and I hope they do. It'll be interesting to see what Telltale does a few years from now. They may be a band to keep your eye on.

Ionic Foot Detox
The detox foot spa is also known as the ionic cleanse, aqua chi, ion foot bath and others. In a typical session the patient places their feet in warm salt water and an electrical array is turned on creating electrolysis in the water. This electrolysis causes an electro-magnetic field in the water which pulls toxins and heavy metals into the water through the sweat glands in the feet. During the session, the water changes colour, bubbles and little chunky floaters apear.
The foot bath is usually finished by washing the feet and a relaxing foot massage is performed using a natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral cream.
In general, people report feeling more energized, lighter, more mental focus, and an improved mood. Many patients also report dramatic improvements in sleep. Some report improvements in serious health concerns.
Health Benefits of Foot Detoxification
More Energy, Better State of Mind, Feel Lighter, Think more clearly, Enhance your well-being.
Healthy Weight Loss: Increase metabolism, reactivate the body's fat burning mechanisms, release the fat cells holding toxins, reduce cellulite, and maintain a healthy body weight.
Rejuvenation: Look and feel great inside and out with beautiful skin, nails, and hair.
Restore and Regain Your Health: Create a stronger immunity, experience fewer aches and pains, or reduce allergies and flu symptoms.
Easily Rid Your Body of Toxins: Remove toxins easily and comfortably with no drugs, pills, or harmful side effects.
Relief: From discomfort, sore and aching joints, symptoms of arthritis and bursitis, or inflammation.
Look and Feel Younger: Clear skin, rough discolored areas smoothen, dark areas under the eyes lightened, allowing our skin's color and beauty to naturally radiate through. The aging of our skin may slow presenting a more youthful appearance.
Quick, Easy, and Affordable!
The more toxins we hold in our bodies the harder it is to reap the benefits discussed above. Reflexology believes each foot is actually a channel; a conduit, through which your body attempts to cleanse itself of toxic wastes that have been building up. During the foot bath, you will actually see the cleansing process taking place as the water interacts with a compound electric current and magnetic field structure.

Skullmapping returns with an innovative mapping project: Invasion Gallery
For its implementation, this Belgian study used a projector Panasonic PT-VZ570 in combination with a special mirror mounted in front of the Dynamic Projection projector lens. Programmable motorized mirror can rotate 270 degrees, as well as up and down, allowing project images across the room located in Antoon gallery in Leuven.
Gallery Invasion is the new project of the Belgian study Skull MappingIt consists of Filip Sterckx and Antoon Verbeeck, which again shows an innovative initiative after the completion of Le Petit Chef already reported Digital AV Magazine and it has achieved five million views on YouTube
For this new work, which has allowed them to move from the world of food to art, it used a projector PT-VZ570 PanasonicIn combination with a special mirror Dynamic Projection Institute mounted in front of the projector lens. Programmable motor, the mirror can rotate 270 degrees and up and down, allowing project images around the room.
This projector has been used because it incorporates resolution WUXGA (1929 × 1200) and the amount of lumens output suitable for this space and this type of project (4800). They also considered that the levels of black in projected images are close enough to the real black.
Gallery Invasion is projected onto the gallery itself Antoon in Leuven (Belgium). Paintings on walls, the space is used to display his work as an artist. The facility includes a monkey as the star, with a little character miniature painting graffiti on the picture of the monkey before you rush out the room with the monkey behind. Leaping from painting to painting, the characters run throughout the space.
The PT-VZ570 is compact and offers a free lifetime maintenance of 7,000 hours. The function of horizontal, vertical and keystone correction to the projection angle essential for Gallery Invasion project, vertically mounted equipment against the wall.
"For us this is first and foremost a research and development project with which we want to show what allows this technique. In this case, the video is more important to us than the live experience, and our intention is to recreate this kind of large-scale initiatives for a larger audience, "says Filip Sterckx.
The basic function for daylight environments PT-VZ570 ensures brightness, clarity and sharpness of projected images even in bright areas of the gallery, where works of art are lighting bulbs.
"Técnicamente me planteaba un desafío, porque no había trabajado nunca con un espejo. Este proyecto también supone un avance con respecto a lo que se ha hecho con espejos, ya que hasta ahora se habían utilizado para proyectar movimientos alrededor de gráficos y vídeo, no para un animación compleja con personajes que necesitan estar en puntos muy específicos en momentos muy concretos. Nos hemos acostumbrado a ver proyectos de mapping proyectados en todo tipo de objetos, pero ver personajes moviéndose libremente sobre varias paredes, techos o incluso suelos con un único proyector y una instalación discreta resulta bastante mágico", añade Filip.
Filip used the MDC-X Institute of Dynamic Projection Media Server to schedule the mirror, so that replicate the movement prepared in animation.
Skullmapping also integrated audio in history, for which they asked the sound designers agency Roundhouse creating sound effects and distribute sound through the room when the action moves from left to right. Placing speakers on either side of the room, the sound can move around the gallery along with animation to complete the experience.

Don't do it. Don't go to that job you hate. Do something you love today. Ride a roller coaster. Swim in the ocean. Go to the airport and get on the next flight to anywhere just for the fun of it. Maybe stop a spinning globe with your finger and then plan a trip to that very spot; even if it's in the middle of the ocean you can go by boat. Eat some type of ethnic food you've never even heard of. Stop a stranger and ask her to explain her greatest fears and her secret hopes and aspirations in detail and then tell her you care because she is a human being. Sit down on the sidewalk and make pictures with colorful chalk. Close your eyes and try to see the world with your nose—allow smells to be your vision. Catch up on your sleep. Call an old friend you haven't seen in years. Roll up your pant legs and walk into the sea. See a foreign film. Feed squirrels. Do anything! Something! Because you start a revolution one decision at a time, with each breath you take. Just don't go back to that miserable place you go every day.

Food & Drink
In summer heat, stay hydrated with water or sports drinks
With temperatures soaring into triple digits on the warmest Central Valley days, it's imperative for everyone – not just serious athletes – to stay hydrated. But is water really the best way to keep cool?
In hot weather, the body works harder to dissipate heat by sweating more. Replenishing by drinking a 1/4 to 3/4 cup of fluids every 15 to 20 minutes is recommended, said Liz Applegate, director of sports nutrition at UC Davis and a senior lecturer in the department of nutrition.
If you're staying outside for an hour or less, water is a good choice, Applegate advises. But if you're active for more than an hour, you should consider drinking sports drinks. They include simple sugars like glucose, fructose and sucrose that can keep you energized during your activity. They also contain small amounts of electrolytes like sodium, potassium and calcium that may be lost through sweating.
The brand usually doesn't matter, because major ones such as Gatorade and Powerade contain roughly the same amount of sugar and electrolytes. If you're planning to exercise for one or two hours, you should aim for about 30 grams of carbohydrates per hour; if it's more than two hours, she recommends 30 to 60 grams.
For those who don't want to pay for sports drinks, the same effects can be achieved by drinking water and eating a few pieces of dried fruit, Applegate said. As for electrolytes, people's usual diets often contain enough salt to replenish during the day, even with exercise.
Thirst is a good guide for knowing how much to drink, Applegate said. People should generally have about five full bladders of urine a day that is the color of light lemonade, she added.
Dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat stroke, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, managed by the Centers for Disease and Control. Those outside in the sun should monitor their body for signs of dehydration, which include lightheadedness, clammy or flushed skin, fatigue, nausea and a rapid heart rate.
If you think you might be suffering from heat exhaustion, find a shady area to sit down and drink juice, a sports drink or water with fruit.
But beware – overhydration, though rare, can happen. Drinking about two to three cups of water every 10 minutes can result in overhydration, symptoms of which include headache and lightheadedness.
Applegate also cautioned people to acclimatize to the weather before doing strenuous amounts of exercise. People arriving in Sacramento for the summer from cooler areas should increase their physical activity incrementally.

Chocolate is a European invention. Cocoa, from South America, was joined with sugar for the first time in Zaragoza in 1534, spreading through the European courts and becoming popular in the XX century. The route connects the locations of traditional craftsmanship with the aim of promoting sustainable tourism linked to chocolate, promoting innovation in traditional crafts and SMEs, while experimenting with formulas to interact with other sectors.

I've banned exclamation marks from Connect Content, and it's the best thing I've ever done!!!
The sentence above sums up exactly why they're banned.
Putting aside the fact that it reads like it was written by a 14-year-old Belieber, exclamation marks (or 'screamers' in publishing terms) are rarely used just to exclaim things, which is a big part of their job.
Instead, they're mostly employed to underline a lame joke, to highlight something cool, as an attempt to lighten the tone, or to try and get across that 'we don't take things too seriously around here'. We might be tax accountants, but we like to cut loose!!!
I think a writer should be able to do all of those things using their skills as a writer. Using exclamation marks as a cheap device to convey tone or attitude makes writers lazy and some golden opportunities to create great, on-brand content are missed.
Plus, the exclamation mark is not to be trusted. It's dined out for years on being the 'fun punctuation mark', which is why people are happy to throw it into their marketing material at will.
Be warned: the exclamation mark can change the image of your business in an instant.
Here's an example from a client who is a Car Broker, mostly dealing in high-end Range Rovers, and the like. He asked me to do a Web Content Analysis on his website and the first thing I read said this:
We'll locate the specific car or UTE you need – at no cost to you!
It's a great offering, but the headline is too shouty and excitable. It's also a bit bargain basement/dollar store for people looking for help sourcing quality cars.

chest compressionAbbreviation: CC
Forcible depression of the thorax during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This technique is used to circulate the blood of a patient whose heart is no longer beating effectively enough to sustain life.
Patient care
Effective chest compressions in an adult should depress the sternum by 1.5–2 in (4–5 cm). In a child or infant, the sternum should be depressed by the rescuer to a depth of about 1/2 to 1/3 the depth of the chest.

One of the polite fictions we were all supposed to buy throughout all of this is that the confidentiality waivers were "coerced" and therefore they weren't good enough. Of course, this polite fiction allowed everyone to look good as long as we all pretended to buy it. Bush got to look good by telling his staff to cooperate. Potential perps got to look good because they played along by granting the waivers. And, the journalists go to look good by pretending that they were standing up for some grand principle by refusing to accept "coerced waivers."
But, there was no actual coercion invovlved here, just a bunch of theater. If Bush says "play along or I fire you" to people on his staff, then they should either play along genuinely or allow themselves to be fired (as if). It isn't as if Scooter Libby or Karl Rove would go hungry if they no longer worked for the Bush. We're not talking about some low level civil servant whistleblower throwing their career down the toilet. We're talking about rich, powerful people who would continue being rich and powerful people in other ways if forced to leave their jobs. Big deal.
What a crock.

Tutorial: Round 10
At this point everything you have been working on in this class comes together. Your alignment, breathing, focus and activated muscles. Try to push and pull your body in opposite directions and cover as much space as possible in your stretch. Ensure that your standing leg is rooted and straight. Keep calm and don't allow the balance to make you stressed. If you start to wobble, take a deep breathe. If you fall over, don't get frustrated, instead enjoy the lessons gained from it and keep trying.
Top Tip
In the crow posture - shift your weight forwards until your belly button is almost in line with your thumbs (pointing towards each other). Suck the belly in and "scoop" it out. Show your students the difference between crane and crow. For some, crane is surprisingly easier than the crow posture. Keep your chin down in case you fall, you will land on your head rather than your nose.
If a student of yours can not successfully hold the crow for a few second – mention that someone's weakness can be made into someone's strength. It can be encouraging for the students to hear about your individual journey, how you perhaps use to struggle or still are struggling. Work together with your students as a team.
Study and reflect
- What is it like for you to experience flow or being in the zone when practicing yoga?
- What inspires you to practice and coach others in BoxingYoga™?
- What helps you persist in the face of challenging poses or sequences?
- How could you encourage a positive mental attitude in others?

Afghanistan beaten by Australia in Cricket World Cup
- From the section Cricket
|ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, Bristol
|Afghanistan 207 (38.2 overs): Najibullah 51, Cummins 3-40, Zampa 3-60
|Australia 209-3 (34.5 overs): Warner 89*, Finch 66
|Australia won by seven wickets
|Scorecard; Table; Schedule
David Warner led holders Australia to a routine seven-wicket win against Afghanistan with an unbeaten 89 at the start of their World Cup defence.
Chasing a below-par 208, Warner steered his side to victory with 91 balls to spare after captain Aaron Finch helped set the tone with 66 off 49.
Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa took three wickets apiece as Afghanistan were bowled out for just 207.
Najibullah Zadran (51) impressed, however, with some powerful strokeplay.
Australia, who came into this tournament in resurgent form with overseas series victories against India and Pakistan, have now won nine one-day internationals in a row.
The last time that happened was during their victorious 2015 World Cup campaign; a run which began with a 275-run win against Afghanistan.
The five-time World Cup winners will take that form into their next game against West Indies on Thursday at Trent Bridge, while Afghanistan take on Sri Lanka in Cardiff on Tuesday.
Afghanistan, winners of last year's qualifier and in just their second World Cup appearance, were roared on by enthusiastic and colourful support all around the ground with many neutrals also siding with the relative minnows.
But any hopes of an upset were dashed by a stuttering display with the bat before some sloppy fielding and erratic bowling.

- Australia beat Afghanistan by seven wickets - relive the action as it happened
Warner and Smith return to competitive action
Another sub-plot was the long-awaited returns to competitive Australia action for Warner and Steve Smith - the pair having served their respective bans for their roles in the sandpaper scandal of March 2018.
Smith received a hostile reception from the crowd during his century against England in the World Cup warm-up match in Southampton last Saturday and that theme continued, if less pointedly, when he came out to bat alongside Warner in the closing stages.
Two rather inventive spectators did catch the eye in the crowd with full-body suits fashioned to look like pieces of sandpaper.
Coach Justin Langer's call before the game for crowds to show the pair "respect" during this summer does not appear to have registered quite yet.
Smith played his part in the field initially; taking a smart catch at cover to dismiss Rahmat Shah off Zampa and manufacturing the run out of Mohammad Nabi.
He fell just before the conclusion for a sedate 18 off 27 balls and the tempo of that innings was largely matched by Warner.
The left-handed opener made somewhat serene progress as Australia were always in command of the run-chase and was happy to play second fiddle to Finch's power hitting in an opening partnership worth 96.

A bowling conundrum for Australia?
While the batting looked to be firing for the holders, there would have been some things for captain Finch and coach Langer to mull over in terms of the balance of their bowling attack.
While leg-spinner Zampa's 3-60 off eight overs may look good on paper, it was littered with some loose and erratic deliveries.
He went for 22 in one over while all-rounder Marcus Stoinis also came in for some punishment, conceding 21 to Rashid's long-range hitting.
The frontline seamers of Starc, Cummins and Nathan Coulter-Nile were more potent as they chose to bowl short more often than not - potentially taking inspiration from some of the dominant spells of fast bowling seen already in this tournament.
But the absence of spinner Nathan Lyon from their line-up, as well as Finch opting not to use Glenn Maxwell's off-spin, drew some bemusement from members of the Australian media.
Afghanistan show promise but naivety with bat
There was a bit of surprise around the ground when Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib won the toss and elected to bat first on what appeared to be another bowler-friendly wicket with plenty of live grass on top.
He may have been regretting that call as soon as three balls in when Mitchell Starc knocked back Mohammad Shahzad's off stump with a searing yorker before a run was on the board.
It got worse five balls later when Pat Cummins dismissed big-hitting opener Hazratullah Zazai, also without scoring - caught behind by Alex Carey to leave Afghanistan 5-2.
By 20 overs, they were in deep trouble at 77-5.
But there were a number of promising partnerships that showed glimpses of what power their batting may produce in this tournament.
Rahmat Shah struck six fours in his 43 off 60 balls and then the exciting talent of Najibullah added 83 for the sixth wicket in 77 balls with Gulbadin (31).
Najibullah's half-century came off just 46 balls, with seven fours and two sixes, before Rashid Khan took up the mantle at number eight with two fours and three sixes in his 27.
But those cameos were all too frequent and missing one anchoring innings that may have pushed them closer to a score in the region of 250.
'Warner played incredibly well' - what they said
Australia captain Aaron Finch: "There was a bit of nerves - we've been training for so long, we were probably ready to go three or four days ago.
"It was a very important innings for David (Warner). He was struggling with his timing early on but he kept hanging in there. That was great for him to kick on and do really well for us."
On whether net run rate was a consideration: "I think when you get into a winning position then you think about that, but it's important you don't look too far ahead. They have some very good spinners so if you don't take that into consideration you are playing with fire."
Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib: "Playing against this kind of team we can learn lessons. They don't give you any chance to recover from your mistakes.
"I have a lot of respect for Warner and Smith and we can't do anything about the crowd's reaction to them. Warner played incredibly well to ignore that and play as well as he did.
"If we have the sort of audience that we do backing us in the stands, we take a lot of positive things from that.
"There were a huge numbers of Afghans in the crowd that give us great energy out in the middle plus many of the neutrals seemed to be behind us too."

Atlantic Forestry March 2015/
Plink, plink . . .
Dwindling pellet supply augurs ill for consumer confidence
by David Palmer
According to NASA and NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration), 2014 was the warmest year on record. Geez, Louise, it sure didn't feel like it here in Atlantic Canada, as the snow kept piling up long into late March and refused to melt even in April.
When one's personal memory conflicts with official records, it's time to dig a little deeper. As it turns out, our minds weren't playing tricks on us. That extra warmth wasn't distributed evenly over the whole globe, nor throughout the year. NOAA's world map of global temperatures shows that central and eastern North America were colder than normal in 2014. In fact, March in the Maritimes was particularly harsh, three to four Celsius degrees colder than normal. And April wasn't much better, at one to two below normal.
Reserve fuelwood supplies were consumed, natural gas bills went through the roof, and pellet stove sales were brisker than ever. As 2014 closed out, Maritimers stoically prepared for the possibility of a repeat of last winter by stocking up on pellets and boosting firewood reserves. Those with oil or gas heaters prayed for a price reprieve, while the majority of New Brunswickers with electric heat turned the thermostat up and shuddered when they opened their next power bill.
All those cranked-up electric baseboards create a huge extra demand for electricity, particularly first thing in the morning on a cold January day. That's a problem for the public utility, which has to either buy extra power from other utilities that have excess to sell (usually at a premium) or maintain standby generating units ready to kick into service when the need arises (also very expensive).
That's why NB Power launched a "Beat the Peak" contest to come up with ideas to reduce peak demand – ideas like setting your dishwasher or washing machine to come on in the middle of the night instead of running it first thing in the morning or as soon as you get home from work. But most people won't change their behavior unless it saves them money to do so. Many utilities provide a financial incentive, charging a lower electricity rate at night. There is no indication of whether NB Power might adopt such a system.
At any rate, modest changes to power consumption won't do much to smooth out the peak – not while a majority of New Brunswickers continue to rely on electric baseboard heaters. The only way to achieve significant reductions is to get people to switch to oil, gas, wood, or pellets.
Although burning oil directly for heat is vastly more efficient than burning it to generate electricity, oil prices are volatile. Natural gas prices are mired in a pricing formula that virtually guarantees no break for customers. And using fossil fuels for heat is just disagreeable to many people. That leaves wood and pellets.
I've burned wood for 40 years and I love it, so I'm a bit biased. But I've got to admit that it's a lot of work, very messy, and sometimes hard to get. And at $275 or so a cord, it's becoming expensive. Will I still be burning wood in 20 years? Possibly, but if not, I must have something else that gives me direct radiant heat. That just leaves pellets.
The popularity of pellets picked up back in 2008 when oil prices went crazy. That year there weren't enough pellets to keep up with demand. In mid-winter, supply dried up, leaving many hapless consumers wondering if they had done the right thing by buying a pellet stove. After a year or two of ups and downs, production and demand aligned and the market normalized for several years. There were multiple brand choices for consumers, stable prices, adequate supply, modest profits for producers, and moderate growth in the industry.
That all ended in early 2015, when pellet stocks in New Brunswick and Maine once again ran low. After becoming aware of a supply problem in mid-February, I visited seven retail stores in Fredericton that normally sell pellets: Kent, Home Hardware, Walmart, Costco, Co-op Farm Supply, Simms, and Shur-Gain. All were sold out! One expected a shipment from Crabbe, and got it the next day, but was again sold out in two days. Devon Lumber was the only local store that still had pellets on hand.
Some sales staff were able to predict when a shipment was expected, while others had no idea when they were going to get any. "Maybe March," said one. A Walmart employee obligingly checked to see how many were in inventory (none), how many were in transit (none), and how many were in the warehouse, wherever that was (none). When asked if the company she worked for was looking for alternative suppliers, a Costco employee said, "Those decisions are made at a lot higher level than me."
There are six pellet plants in the Maritimes, down from nine six years ago. Two produce solely for the export market, leaving only four to service the domestic market: Crabbe Lumber in Bristol, N.B.; Groupe-Savoie in Kedgewick, N.B.; Marwood in Tracy, N.B.; and Shaw in Shubenacadie, N.S. In the Fredericton area where I did my research, the only pellets to be found were Crabbe's, and at least one retailer that had carried another brand was turning to Crabbe as an alternative supplier. Crabbe has been working hard to keep up with the increased demand by extending production hours, buying extra sawdust, and even grinding up higher-value wood chips on occasion, but this suppler can't take up all the slack.
At Sunpoke Energy in Fredericton, long-time senior employee Paul Jackson attributes the shortage to the long, cold winter and the steady increase in pellet stove sales. His shop has seen 50 or 60 stoves go out the door this winter. Nobody tracks this regionally, but if you extrapolate from Sunpoke's numbers, it would not be unreasonable to conclude that pellet stove sales in New Brunswick may have topped 1,000 in the past year. At four tons of pellets per season, that's new demand of 4,000-5,000 tons in this province alone. Given such robust growth in demand, it's easy to understand why a shortage might develop.
Another factor in the supply shortage, particularly in Maine and western New Brunswick, is that one of the big plants in Maine was temporarily out of production. Corinth Wood Pellets, one of four producers in the state, was recently purchased by E.J. Carrier Inc., of Jackman, Maine, which embarked upon a $7.5 million upgrade. The plant was shut down in November for work that was expected to take four to six weeks but instead took 12 weeks. If things have gone well since production resumed, the pellet supply crunch should be alleviated for the tail end of the heating season.
Clearly the domestic pellet market is growing in the northeastern U.S. and Atlantic Canada, but at an unknown rate. Somebody – whether it's the Department of Energy, a pellet producers' association, or CanBio – ought to be tracking pellet stove sales and making demand projections so that the industry can respond accordingly. Shortages of this critical fuel, in the middle of a severe winter like the one we are once again experiencing, results in frustration and loss of confidence among consumers, thus putting the brakes on expansion. For an industry that is seeking to build credibility, this is unacceptable.

Love is in the air!
Who else is gearing up for Valentine's Day? As we're getting ready for the celebration of love, we might be thinking about how this celebration affects us food allergy families. For example, does anybody wonder:
1. Whether eating chocolate filled with our child's allergen will cause an anaphylactic reaction if we kiss them on the cheek after?
2. If we have a great date with hubby and accidentally drip a bit of that allergenic dessert on our sleeve and then hug our food allergy kiddo after, will they have anaphylaxis?
Just to be clear, we're talking about a contact reaction here, where none of the allergens actually get into our child's eyes, nose or mouth and the allergen stays on their skin.
Contact Reaction Risks
If you're new to food allergies or you've been at this awhile, contact reactions are something that can get easily confused and stressful. If you've been checking out allergy Facebook groups, you might have seen comments like this:
"My son is contact reactive to peanuts"
"My daughter reacts to milk on contact".
When reading these statements it's easy to think that kids will have anaphylaxis when they touch their allergen. We may even begin to think that this could happen to OUR child if they touch their allergen. But I want to put your minds at ease. In reality, it's VERY rare to have a systemic (anaphylactic) reaction due to touching an allergen.
What Happens If My Child Touches An Allergen?
Even though touching an allergen doesn't usually cause anaphylaxis, a localized reaction can happen. Which means hives and itchiness in a small area at the site where the allergen touched the skin (usually an exposed area like arms or legs where clothing doesn't cover). But the important thing is that if the skin is intact, it should do the job it was made for and keep the allergen out of the system.
But wait, you say; hives and itchiness are a symptom of anaphylaxis. And you're right. If ANY allergic reaction happens (contact or otherwise), we need to WATCH carefully to see if the hives spread past a small area on the body to an area that wouldn't have touched any allergens OR if there are other signs of anaphylaxis. So if hives are showing up at all, we need to be vigilant and careful. But there's a good chance that localized hives (verses hives spread over a large area of the body), will just be a contact reaction.
The Importance of Washing Hands
Now, if that allergen is on hands and our kiddos don't wash their hands before they rub their eyes, nose, mouth or the food they're eating, it's possible to get it into their system and THEN cause anaphylaxis. Which is why it's so important to teach our kids to wash their hands often AND not to touch their face during the day.
So there you have it. If I know us food allergy moms, we'll be super careful no matter what, but I'm hoping that you'll at least feel less stressed now that you know how to keep your child safe this Valentine's Day.

Greenpeace Founder: Humans Not to Blame for Global Warming
There is no scientific proof of man-made global warming and a hotter earth would be 'beneficial for humans and the majority of other species...
The assertion was made by Canadian ecologist Patrick Moore, a member of Greenpeace from 1971 to 1986, to U.S senators on Tuesday.
He told The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee:
'There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the past 100 years.
If there were such a proof it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.' Moore pointed out that there was an Ice Age 450 million years ago when CO2 was 10 times higher.
He said:
"There is some correlation, but little evidence, to support a direct causal relationship between CO2 and global temperature through the millennia.Even if the earth does warm up, Moore claims that it will be to the advantage of humans and other forms of life, as 'humans are a tropical species.'
"The fact that we had both higher temperatures and an ice age at a time when CO2 emissions were 10 times higher than they are today fundamentally contradicts the certainty that human-caused CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming."
He said:
"It is extremely likely that a warmer temperature than today's would be far better than a cooler one."Humans, he added, just aren't capable of predicting global temperature changes. Moore said that he left Greenpeace because it 'took a sharp turn to the political left'.

Honda CR-V is a triple hit: it includes a wide range of high-tech equipment, significant fuel economy and plenty of cargo space. As if this were not enough, CR-V also has a modern design and engaging driving dynamics. It's powered by a 184-hp inline-four or a more responsive 190-hp turbocharged 1.5-inline-four. A standard continuous variable automatic transmission (CVT) with front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The CR-V talent roster served in one place in our first 10 best trucks and SUVs. While the compact crossover is loaded with home beaters, CR-V has the statistics called MVP.
While a hybrid version is on the horizon, the CR-V 2018 remains unchanged until further notice. New design and re-engineering, the all-new CR-V has achieved more style, more space and more technology. For the first time, Honda offered it with a turbo engine. Other improvements include adaptive cruise control, the automatic projector and a monitor for driver attention, among other things. Inside, the CR-V has become more spacious and features updated materials, such as a soft dashboard and exquisite curved chairs. The additional components for the infotainment included a dedicated dedicated dedicated volume button, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available and additional additional dual USB ports. Combined with a smoother and sharper exterior style, the CR-V has improved significantly for 2017.
The EX model is an excellent choice, as it offers up-to-date technical and creative features. For $ 2750 more than the LX base, it adds heated side mirrors, automatic headlights, remote start, smart start and push-button ignition, power take-off and more. Other standard features include:
• 7.0-inch touch screen HondaLink Infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Heated front seats with 12-way driver's seat
• Honda Sensing safety and assistance equipment
We believe that front-wheel drive is sufficient for the most part, but those who live on stiff winters or those who simply have all-wheel drive can add it to $ 1300. The highest level of Touring coating can be the last CR-V, but for about $ 6000 less, EX is a heckuva deal. We did not even leave time for alternatives on the way to the checkout because our well-equipped CR-V EX was $ 27 735.

Five Feet Apart
Five Feet Apart
Adapted from the soon-to-be-movie starring Cole Sprouse, FIVE FEET APART by Rachael Lippincott tells the tragic love story of two teens, both living with cystic fibrosis. Fans of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING will fall in love with this new YA novel.
Stella Grant has had cystic fibrosis for most of her life, spending most of her time in the hospital, taking medicine, doing treatment, and waiting for the call that there is a new pair of lungs for her. Constantly confined to a hospital bed --- away from her friends and high school --- because of the smallest cold or infection, Stella struggles with what she can control. She methodically arranges her med cart each day, and even designs an app that helps patients know when to take what medicine. She sticks to her lists and routines, making vlogs about her journey with CF to encourage others struggling with the disease as well.
"An exploration of grief, friendship and love defying all odds, FIVE FEET APART is a tear-jerking romance perfect for teenagers who loved THE FAULT IN OUR STARS..."
But Stella's meticulous way of life and careful planning may all go out the window when a new boy with CF, Will Newman, moves into her wing of the hospital. Stella knows that contact with Will could cost her a new set of lungs and maybe even her life, so she sticks to the six-foot apart rule, avoiding all contact with him and his dangerous bacteria. The six-foot apart rule becomes more and more difficult to follow the closer that Stella and Will become. They bond over their shared hospital experiences, loneliness and tragic pasts. Unable to touch each other, or even get within six feet of each other, Stella struggles to maintain her careful attention to getting healthy. The closer Stella and will get to each other, the harder it is to stay away.
Told in the alternating perspectives of Stella and Will, FIVE FEET APART explores what it means to love and the importance of human touch in relationships. Stella deals with overcoming grief and loss and maintaining her sense of self in spite of her disease. Both Will and Stella struggle with their relationships with their parents and missing out on the normal activities of kids their age.
Lippincott writes with honesty and about relationships with friends, parents and siblings. Though at times the actions of the characters seem unrealistic or drastic, Lippincott tries to portray the recklessness that can often be part of teen love. FIVE FEET APART is a quick read full of well-thought out characters. The diversity among characters brings a more realistic spin to the story, but this often leads to the characters falling into typical YA tropes. This book is not unique, and readers with experience in the YA genre will most likely be able to predict the plot with relative accuracy. But this novel is still worth the read as it looks into different very real aspects of lives of teenagers and disease.
An exploration of grief, friendship and love defying all odds, FIVE FEET APART is a tear-jerking romance perfect for teenagers who loved THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, MIDNIGHT SUN, or EXTRAORDINARY MEANS. Lovers of YA romance or readers looking forward to the movie adaptation of this book will want to read FIVE FEET APART.

It's totally possible your boss will need to be driven out to lunch, you'll need to take clients out, or you're just really not into driving around with the check engine light flashing at you. So what should you do?
So, you're really coming up in the world. You got a real job and you're pretty familiar with the fact that business casual means Banana Republic. The trouble is, all your coworkers have fancy cars and you're rocking your Jetta from college.
The flashy route: lease a new car baby!
Haters will say that leasing is stupid, that you're just throwing money down the drain, blah blah blah, I-can't-hear-you-over-the-sound-of-my-Audi-S4's-turbo-six! While leasing does offer you the ability to drive more car for your monthly payment, it's really all about where you're at in life.
- Are you cool with limiting your driving? Most leases cap your mileage at 12,000 miles a year; AKA, only one trip to Vegas in your luxury sports coupe per summer?
- Do you think you'll die if you drive a Honda Civic?
- Do you think you'll get rid of your car in two years anyway?
Ok, if you answered yes to all of the questions above, well then, leasing is the way to go. Here are some terms you'll need to Google before you walk into the dealership to lease a car:
- Money Factor - The dealership is going to make money off you no matter how you pay. In leasing, the price you pay for credit is called the Money Factor. It's basically the interest rate. The money factor is always expressed as a stupid-tiny number, such as .00281. To convert to an equivalent annual interest percentage rate (APR), simply multiply by 2400. So in this instance the money factor is 6.74%, pretty darn high!
- Residual - This is the amount of money still owed on the loan (leasing is basically a loan) after the lease is over. For example, if the car has a residual of $14,000 at the lease end, then this amount would need to be handed over to the dealer to make the car yours. You want this number to be as high as possible.
- Amount Due at Signing - This is the amount of money you need to fork over to get into the lease. When you see those commercials that advertise "lease the 2015 IS 250 for $289 a month for 36 months" the small print probably says "$4,899 due at signing." So, make sure you have a chunk of change ready to start the lease.
