You like posting about your relationship on facebook, you might just be insecure

If you find your partner posting nostalgic photos from an old vacation or a family album, chances are that he may be insecure about his relationship status. According to a study, people who felt anxious about their partners were most likely to remind others that they are in a true and secure relationship.

‘On days when people felt more insecure about their partner’s feelings than they typically do, they posted more relationship-relevant information on Facebook,’ researchers noted. The same is true for people who were anxious in general. According to researchers, ‘the studies highlight the role of relationships in how people portray themselves to others’.

Here are some signs which signify ‘the end’ of a relationship

Lack of communication

Communication is one of the foundations of a healthy relationship. Lack of it can create a crack in this bond which increases with time. ‘A sign that it is time to end the relationship is when couple/partner finds ways to avoid healthy communication and stays out at work or with friends to avoid much interaction,’ says Dr Anjali.

Liar liar
Lying to your partner not only breaks their trust in you but shows that you don’t have much respect for them either. ‘When couple/partner starts making false excuses or start lying about late working hours, text messages, random phone calls, etc., it is a sign that he/she has lost interest in keeping the relationship going,’ she adds.

Never-ending fights
Says Anjali, ‘If a couple is constantly arguing, fighting and finding it difficult to communicate in a healthy way, it will definitely lead to a fallout sooner than later.’

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Pep Guardiola cost us the Champions League title in 2010

Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a dig at former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, stating that his tactical approach in the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan had cost Barcelona the title.

The Catalan giants were the defending European champions, and to strengthen their team in the attacking quarters, they had signed the Swedish striker. He replaced Samuel Eto’o who went the other way to Inter Milan.

In spite of winning the La Liga title, Barcelona weren’t able to win the Champions League title under Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola cost us the title: IbrahimovicThe Catalan club lost to Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan in the semi final stage and Ibrahimovic blamed the current Bayern Munich manager for the failure.

Ibrahimovic said in an interview: “We had the best team in the world, for sure.

“But we failed to win the Champions League because of bad decisions from someone.”

He further added: “But it's like that. It's nothing to complain about today. You have to forget it because I had great moments at Barcelona.”

Earlier too, he had also openly criticized Guardiola in his autobiography titled ‘I am Zlatan’, in which he had called Guardiola “a spineless coward”.

Ibrahimovic has represented and won domestic titles when he represented Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Ajax and presently Paris Saint-German. But he is yet to lift the coveted Chamipons League trophy in his 15-year career.

“I'd be very happy if I could win it, of course," he said.

“After your career, you look at how many trophies you have. If I win, it'd be great, if not, it wouldn't be a failure,”

Ibrahimovic wants PSG to improve Champions League record

Paris Saint-Germain, the current French Ligue 1 champions, where the 32-year-old currently plays, has been building a team capable of locking horns with European bigwigs.

“We're still learning. The club are new in the Champions League and we gain experience," he mentioned about his team.

“This team has been constructed in the last two years and we've been in the Champions League quarter-finals twice. We want to go further this year.”

PSG play Barcelona on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes as the French side looks to put its 1-1 draw with Ajax behind them and get their first win in Europe this campaign.

Indian Prime minister says, Al Qaeda will fail in India

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said al Qaeda will fail if it seeks to spread its terror network into his country because Muslims there "will die for India."

Al Qaeda announced plans this month to launch a new branch in the Indian subcontinent, in a video message featuring al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Al-Zawahiri said that his group would seek support in the Indian states of Assam and Gujarat, and in Kashmir, the disputed region between India and Pakistan -- and that he wants to free Muslims from the "oppression" they face there.

India, a predominantly Hindu nation, has a 13% Muslim population, according to the country's census.

Inter-religious relations have become tense before. In 2002, Gujarat was wracked with anti-Muslim violence, in which more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed.

Most of the world's Muslims live in Asia, with about 1 billion in the Asia-Pacific region and about 322 million in the Middle East and North Africa, according to the Pew Research Center.

Besides Assam, Gujarat and Kashmir, al-Zawahiri also said in his message that he would seek to gain support "for the vulnerable" in Myanmar and Bangladesh.

Peter Bergen, CNN's national security analyst, called the video "hyperventilation and posturing."

"It's al-Zawahiri's obvious way of getting some of the limelight back," he said, as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has moved front and center.

White Tiger kills youth in Delhi. Watch the shocking video here.

A white tiger attacked and killed a 19-year-old man who jumped into the animal's enclosure at Delhi Zoo located in Sundar Nagar in south Delhi on Tuesday afternoon.
 
The attack was photographed and videographed by some eyewitnesses in their mobile phones. After the mishap, the zoo was closed for the day.  
 
The deceased, identified as Maqsood, 19, was a factory worker and resident of central Delhi’s Anand Parbat. His parents – Mehfooz alias Pardeshi and Ishrat – claimed that Maqsood was being treated for mental illness for the past two years. They also said that Maqsood was addicted to bhang.

Amitabh Agnihotri, zoo director, said the incident took place at around 1 pm when Maqsood crossed the stand-off barrier of the white tiger enclosure and jumped into the moat despite at least two warnings given to him by a security guard, identified as Praveen. The moat is almost 20-feet down from the ground.
 
Eyewitnesses said that after the youth jumped into the moat surrounding the enclosure. Within five seconds, the white tiger that was roaming inside the enclosure was facing Maqsood. "The man was cowering in fear and appeared to be pleading with folded hands to the tiger to spare him," said Himanshu, an eyewitness.

It was Himanshu who called the police control room. The tiger stood still facing Maqsood for over ten minutes, even as some horrified witnesses began screaming and threw stones and sticks to divert the tiger’s attention and save the youth’s life.
 
“The tiger pounced on the youth with his paw and grabbed him by the neck only when it panicked following a drill conducted by the zoo staff to divert the attention of the tiger. After locking the youth in its jaws, the tiger dragged him up to almost fifty meters from the moat toward the left side of the cage. The man was writhing badly in pain and he kept suffering for the next 10-15 minutes, but nobody helped him,” said Himanshu.
 
Another witness said the tiger kept roaming around the enclosure, holding the victim by the neck. A police team along with an ambulance also arrived at the spot.



Zoo manager Riaz Khan said they do have tranquilising guns kept at the zoo hospital.
“By the time we could have organised those, the youth was killed,” he said. The enclosure is separated from visitors by a concrete ditch, with shrubs on the tiger's side followed by a 60-centimetre (two-foot) railing.
 
Mandeep Singh Randhawa, DCP (Southeast), said they are taking legal action into the case. “We will register a case of negligence and probe the matter from all angles,” said Randhawa.

True Story: This Job Requires Expertise in Sex and Marijuana

The Cannabist - The Denver Post's marijuana news site - is hiring a sex columnist. As the editor of a news website, I thought this was a ruse till a friend  send me the link. Yes, it is a job post -'Now hiring: Sex columnist, with weed focus (apply by Oct. 1)'

Their tweet says (and my college-self agrees) - this is a dream job.

Here is what the job requires - 'This is a paid freelance position, and our ideal candidate will truly put him or herself out there. These sex and relationship columns will be a place to speak frankly and intelligently about intimacy and cannabis - a space deserving of such attention, more now than ever.'

The only hitch - none of the anonymous stuff works here. This job requires the right candidate to "write about sex and marijuana publicly under your given name."

Colorado's legal marijuana dispensaries have been to selling weed to adults since January this year - and the Cannabist covers all things marijuana.  

As their editor Ricardo Baca says ' The world is changing rapidly, and so are the ways we live (and love) with marijuana.'

Former New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns cleaning bus shelters to provide for his family

Former New Zealand (NZ) cricketer Chris Cairns, who is currently involved in an intense court battle to acquit himself of match-fixing allegations, has quite literally taken to the street to earn money and provide for his wife and four children.

The 44-year old has been incurring huge legal expenses over the last couple of years and has consequently been forced to take up a job with the Auckland council. His current job, which fetches him a modest $17 per hour, entails driving a truck that goes around cleaning bus shelters in New Zealand’s largest city, signalling a huge fall from grace for one of New Zealand’s greatest all-rounders.

Support from Dion Nash

Former NZ fast bowler Dion Nash said that he is firmly behind his former-team-mate despite Cairns being shrouded by numerous match-fixing allegations recently.

Family facing hard times"All I can do is support him, but as a friend it is really hard to watch his name being dragged through the mud with no conclusion in sight. He's a champion guy and he will come through this stronger," added Nash.

It must be extremely difficult for Cairns to come to terms with the reality he is confronting at the moment. After all, it was just three years back that he was living and working in Dubai as a diamond trader and had purchased a 3.2 carat diamond while proposing to his third wife, Mel Croser.

Croser, who currently works as a project manager, had, in a recent interview to a women’s magazine, said that that her husband took up the cleaning job as he had no other option.

“He has no choice, he has to provide for his family. We have bills to pay like everyone else. We don't own a house, we're paying rent and getting by is a struggle," she said.

Ironically, though, Cairns and his young family continue to live in Herne Bay, one of Auckland’s most expensive localities.

Girl students in Noida protest after finding spycam in hostel

Girl students of a JSS college held a demonstration on Thursday after a spy camera was found in a washroom of the girls' hostel.

College management has ordered inquiry and lodged FIR against unknown persons.

Earlier in the day, a girl noticed the spy camera in the washroom in the hostel. She informed two of her hostel mates, who together complained to college management.

Suspecting trouble, the students checked other wash rooms to see if there were more cameras.

According to the college management, after the students complained about water leakage few days back, a plumber had come and rectified the defect.

The management suspects plumber may be the culprit.

"We have seized the spy camera. There was an IGB memory chip which has been destroyed. Through CCTV footage we are trying to identify the plumber or other man who had installed the spy camera in washroom," Deputy Superintendent of Police Vishwajit Srivastava said.
