Guys, 4 places you shouldn’t touch on her body during sex and why


Great sex is all about spontaneity and exploration—assuming, of course, you have her consent—but there are a few parts of her body you shouldn’t touch willy-nilly.
Here are four such spots you’re better off avoiding. (For explicit instructions on where and how you should touch her, check out How to Pleasure a Woman, the ultimate sex manual from the editors of Men’?s Health.)

Her Cervix
If you reach her cervix during sex, recognize that something is wrong. Remember, this is the narrow canal that connects the vagina to the uterus—where babies grow. That isn’t a place you want to go, so don’t knock on the door.

For starters, it’s painful for her to have something rammed against her cervix, and it could be a sign that you need to shift for a position with shallower penetration.
But it could also mean that she isn’t warmed up enough. Her uterus will actually “lift” upwards when she’s sexually aroused, making her vaginal cavity a few inches deeper than when she isn’t turned on.
So don’t skimp on foreplay, and don’t service her cervix.

The Head Of Her Clitoris
This might seem counter intuitive, but the clitoris—which is full of super sensitive nerve endings—can sometimes feel too intense when it’s stimulated directly. Touching the clitoris head-on, especially if she’s really aroused, can feel too severe.

Think about that feeling when you gulp an ice-cold beverage and your teeth start to tingle—it’s just not pleasant. Instead, try going for the shaft of her clitoris or rubbing circles around it, which will engage the nerve endings without overstimulating her.

We won’t tell you to never touch her there, but it’s worth checking in with your partner to see if she has a sensitive C-spot.

Her Feet
Especially if she’s sporting socks. A study from Johns Hopkins University showed that wearing socks in the sack can increase orgasm potential, for both men and women.

One potential reason: In order to orgasm, women need to be totally relaxed and anxiety-free, and cold feet can interfere with their ability to really get into sex.
Though we usually recommend knocking her socks off, leave them on this time.

Her Anus
Unless you’re all lubed-up, that is. Anal play can take plenty of warming up, but even when she’s totally aroused and ready to get it on, nothing should go in there without a generous helping of lubricant. The anal opening is small enough that even a finger can feel uncomfortable.

While you’ve got the KY bottle handy, you should probably go ahead and use it for all other acts. A study from the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that women rate their sexual satisfaction much higher when lube is involved.

Check this out! 36 Uses of Toothpaste That Don't Involve Your Teeth


 

Most people think toothpaste is only for teeth washing only. Well guess what! We have more other uses for it and here are 35 unconventional uses for toothpaste so draw your chair closer and read below:


But please note: We strongly recommend you use one of the more inexpensive toothpastes -- not gels, tartar controllers or whiteners unless otherwise specified. Look for a mild abrasive, stain fighter. Avoid toothpastes containing "triclosan."

IN YOUR CLEANING KIT

1. Cleaning of Baby Bottles
Remove that sour-milk-smell baby bottles get by scrubbing with a water-and-toothpaste mixture. Rinse very thoroughly with water or toss the bottles into the dishwasher.

2. Carpet Stains
Squeeze toothpaste directly onto the carpet stain and scrub it with a toothbrush. Then rinse and repeat the process until the stain disappears. Not much different than brushing your teeth, is it?
For truly stubborn stains, you might need to go along with a carpet cleaning product.

3. Cell Phone Screens

Unprotected mobile-phone screens become scratched to heck over time. Lightly rub the screen with a touch of toothpaste and your finger. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. This also works on watch crystals, for those of us Luddites who still wear watches.

4. Clothing Stains
If toothpaste works on your carpets, it should work equally well on cloth. Apply the toothpaste directly to the stained area with a bit of water and rub hard before popping in the washer. This may not work on all fabrics or stains but it's quite effective on ink and shirt-collar stains. You may have to repeat this process if the stain is old.
Of course, you don't want to use whitening toothpastes on colored fabrics. Instead, use a basic toothpaste without bleaching agents for this purpose.

5. Crayon on Painted Walls
Children, crayons and walls are natural attractants. No need to panic. Just gently rub a damp cloth and some toothpaste on your child's masterpiece, then rinse with a wet cloth and dry.
Make sure you run a test on a small area of the wall before applying to a large area, just in case the paste can't handle even a mild abrasive.
For high-gloss walls where toothpaste might remove some of the shine, purchase the exceptionally handy Goo Gone. As with toothpaste, make sure you try a test run first.

6. Leather
Put a dab on leather scuffs, rub in with a soft cloth, and rinse with a damp cloth. Works well on shoes, purses, coats or anything else made of leather.

7. Linoleum Scuffs
Scrub scuff marks with toothpaste and a dry cloth until no residue remains.

8. Piano Keys

Tidy up those ivories before you tickle them. Rub each key gently with a damp, cotton swab and a touch of paste. Wipe dry and buff with a clean cloth. It takes time, but you'll be stunned by how nice your keyboard looks at the end of the project.

9. Patio Furniture
Apply some elbow grease, a brush and a mixture of toothpaste and water. Use a teeth-whitening paste on white furniture for the perfect shine.

10. Silver and Brass
Use a soft toothbrush to scrub lightly with just a dab of paste. Rinse thoroughly and polish with a dry, soft cloth. If toothpaste remains in any cracks, clean the toothbrush thoroughly and brush under water to dislodge the white paste. Dry again and polish.
For heavy-duty grunge, apply paste and let it soak overnight. Whatever you do, however, don't apply toothpaste to pearls as the grit will remove the shiny finish.

Apply a little toothpaste and rub into the iron's plate, then remove the residue with a dry and clean cloth.

12. Tennis Shoes

Use a brush to rub toothpaste into the scuffed soles of athletic shoes. Wipe with a damp cloth when your done and admire.


IN YOUR BATHROOM

13. Bathroom Sinks
Next time you drop a glop of toothpaste into the sink, don't rinse it down, scrub it around. The natural abrasive works like other cleansers and deodorizes the drain at the same time.

14. Blemish Cream and pimples
Anyway who's watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" knows toothpaste is a great emergency zit cure. It helps reduce the redness and draws out puss. Don't pop the pimple before application, however. (Please excuse the indelicacy.)

Apply a pinch of menthol toothpaste and leave it on for several minutes, then wash off before you head to the church. Some recommend leaving the toothpaste on overnight but this can leave you with dry and cracked skin. No matter how long you've left on the pasty poultice, apply a good lotion immediately afterwards to replace moisture.

If you find your facial skin reacts badly to the toothpaste, next time crush an aspirin, mix it with water or witch hazel, and apply it to your skin. Aspirin works because it contains salicylic acid to clear up the blemish. For even more sensitive skin, tea tree oil mixed with witch hazel also reduces blemishes.

15. Bruises
This remedy is a godsend for chronic klutzes, like me. Before heading off to bed, apply a mixture of toothpaste and skin lotion to the bruise and wrap with an ace bandage or a band-aid to keep the sheets clean. Wash the paste off in the morning and reapply for two or three nights. Bruises that normally take a week or two to fade disappear much faster.

16. Bug Bites
For mosquito, ant and other small bug bites, apply toothpaste to sooth itching and cool the skin. You can apply paste to bee stings, as well, but seek medical assistance if you experience shortness of breath or other serious symptoms.

17. Burns
I've been using my grandmother's tip for years on mild burns and it's only recently come into popular favor.

Next time you burn yourself on the stove or a hot pan, plunge the affected area under cold water to rapidly bring down the skin temperature. (Not butter! This is a myth.)  After the acute phase is over, smear non-gel toothpaste thickly over the burn until the skin cools permanently and the sting is gone. Finally, apply a healing agent, such as aloe vera.

If you receive a serious second-degree or third-degree burn, wrap the area in cold, wet, smooth towels or a sheet. Immediately have someone drive you straight to the hospital.

Please in case of skin reaction in any of the above application, discontinue use on your skin and see an expert.
We hereby recommend use mildly.

18. Chrome
Do those water spots on your bathroom faucets bug you while brushing your teeth? Apply a dab of paste, rub it in and rinse. Now you can admire your reflection while making those strange brushing faces.

19. Diamonds
After finishing with your teeth, take your toothbrush and run it over your diamond ring to make it sparkle. Clean off any residue with a damp cloth.

20. Hair Gel
Toothpaste contains the same water-soluble polymers found in many hair gels. In a pinch, it can serve the same purpose. Toothpaste also is a great stick-um for baby barrettes.

21. Hand Deodorizer
Remove the stench of onions, fish, garlic and other odoriferous foods from your skin by scrubbing briefly with toothpaste. Apply lotion after to moisten hands.

22. Mirror Defogger
Gentlemen: Next time you're brushing your teeth in the shower, smear a bit of toothpaste on the mirror before shaving and wipe it dry. It'll keep the mirror from fogging so you can see your face clearly. No nicks, no cuts and a face like John Hamm: Well, maybe.

23. Nails

We're talking the nails on your fingers and toes; not the ones you pound into walls.
Next time you're out of enamel, give your nails a natural shine with a touch of toothpaste and a soft brush. It only takes a mild buffing to bring out the brilliance, so don't go overboard.
A whitening toothpaste with peroxide also will remove the orange or yellow tinge created by extensive use of nail polish. Again, make sure you buff lightly.

Finally, the grit in toothpaste helps remove grunge in the cracks around your nails after cleaning the fireplace or working in the garden. Use a nail brush and scrub around the edges. Avoid polishing too vigorously on the nail itself or you'll remove the natural sheen.

24. Refrigerator Seals
Toothbrushes are the perfect size for cleaning refrigerator seals and toothpaste is perfect for whitening those seals. In other words, altogether a perfect combo.

25. Skin Rashes
For closed-skin rashes, avoid itching, apply toothpaste and allow it to cool down the skin. Please note toothpaste should not be applied to skin rashes that have open sores.

26. Shower Doors
Dampen a sponge and smear it with a bit of whitening toothpaste. Clean the shower doors with a circular swipe and rinse thoroughly and you'll be able to see through your doors once again.


IN YOUR LIVING ROOM

27. Coffee Table Water Rings
This is an oldie but goody: Simply rub some toothpaste into the irritating ring with a soft cloth and wipe dry with a clean, damp cloth. Apply a finishing shine with a touch of furniture polish or oil (olive oil works, too). Then break out the coasters and make sure they get used.

28. DVDs and CDs

Remove shallow scratches and smudges by applying a thin coating of toothpaste to the disc and rubbing gently. Rinse thoroughly and buff with a soft, cotton cloth. The mild abrasive evens out the playing surface but too much grit will make things worse, so make sure you're gentle. (I'm told smooth peanut butter also works well but haven't had a scratch on which to test this theory.)

Toothpaste works especially well on the marks made by multi-disk changers that use "grabbers" and dig gouges into the disks.

29. Nail Holes
Toothpaste has long been known as the poor-man's caulking agent for unsightly nail holes. If you don't have matching paint, you can tint the paste with food coloring or eye shadow to match the wall. It's even easier if the walls are white.

This method also works well in holes left by hanging-plant or speaker hooks, particularly on textured ceilings.


MISCELLANEOUS

30. Auto Scratches (cars)
Scratch removers are expensive but toothpaste can hide minor damage for cents. Apply a dab of toothpaste to a damp sponge and rub in a circle, then wipe with a soft cloth. Don't rub too hard or you'll damage the paint job.

31. Goggles
You'll never need to buy expensive goggle-defogger gels again. Rub a small spot of toothpaste into each lens of your google and rinse thoroughly. Don't rub too hard, however, or the abrasive properties of toothpaste could scratch the lens.

32. Headlights

The dings and scratches sustained by headlight glass diffuses the light and makes it harder to see. Eliminate this haze by thoroughly cleaning the headlight, then rubbing in a glob of toothpaste. Follow up with a good buffing to even out the glass, either by hand or with the buffer on an electric drill.

34. Skunk-Spray Deodorizer
Next time your dog gets in a battle with a skunk, wet him down, rub toothpaste into his fur, leave the mixture on for several minutes and rinse thoroughly. I'm not saying this process will be easy, but fluoride does soak up a majority of the stench.

35. Iron it out

Nothing is worse than ironing a clean shirt only to dirty it from the gunky build-up on the bottom of the iron. Luckily, a dirty iron can be cleared up with toothpaste.
With the iron cool and unplugged,  scrub the bottom with toothpaste on a small cloth and wipe the surface clean. Simple but effective!

36. Teeth

Okay, so I lied in the headline about not mentioning your teeth. There's a reason they call it "tooth" paste.

If you have moral objections to standard toothpaste formulas, Others highly recommend combining essential oil of mint and clove with baking soda and peroxide. I say, "To each his own."

2017 Lexus IS 200t Quick Take🚗

By Keith Buglewicz on October 11, 2016 7:30 AM

Lexus hovers over the IS lineup like a helicopter parent, lavishing attention to its smallest sedan, making sure that it never feels neglected or left out. Case in point: last year, Lexus bestowed upon the IS a new 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder as the standard engine. This year adds subtle but noteworthy upgrades to the exterior and interior styling, plus the addition of new standard technology that's guaranteed to excite safety-tech enthusiasts, if there is such a thing.
First the obvious: the design. Except that it's more subtle than obvious. The grille is bigger, the headlights are reshaped and now standard LED, and there are big, jowly looking air intakes at the outside of the lower bumper that give the 2017 IS a slight chipmunk-with-full-cheeks appearance from some angles. Considering the mixed reaction the Lexus "spindle" grille has received, the fact the company is doubling down on it indicates that at least Lexus is happy with the design. In back the changes are limited to rearranging what's amber and what's red on the taillights.
New infotainment screen
Interior changes are only slightly more noticeable, but maybe have a larger day-to-day impact. The 10.3-inch infotainment screen is new, but in the same enclosure as before, meaning it loses the weird letterbox effect it used to have. The climate controls are better integrated into the center stack, and the stitching on the gauge hood is also slightly different. Taken together, the exterior and interior style changes are noteworthy, even if there's no single big "hey look at that" difference.
You might notice some new icons on the steering wheel though, and that's because every new 2017 Lexus IS model now comes with the Lexus Safety System+ as standard equipment. That means you won't pay extra for a pre-collision system, lane departure warning and steering assist, or high-speed active cruise control. Blind spot warning is still optional, and it includes cross traffic alert. In our drive, we were grateful to have active cruise -- it makes commuting in Southern California's freeway traffic much easier -- but still disappointed that it was only active above 25 mph. Still, as a standard feature, it's definitely nice to have.
Smooth operator
As for the rest of the car, it drives like we've come to expect from the little Lexus sedan, which is to say, quite well. Acceleration from the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder isn't what we'd call epic, but it gets the car to speed without drama. The 241-horsepower engine never feels strained, but it doesn't sound particularly luxurious either. The 8-speed automatic transmission is well behaved and responds well to the paddles on the steering wheel. Yet it's sometimes reluctant to downshift on its own, especially if it's in a high gear, and the downshift requires several steps down, say, from 8th to 4th. However, the steering and chassis dynamics are right on, and fans of sporty, relatively affordable luxury sedans would do themselves a huge service by getting behind the wheel.
We can't say the exterior styling changes will mitigate complaints by some that the Lexus IS is overstyled, although park the earlier version next to the new one and the changes to the headlights do seem to tone it down a smidge. We do like the interior changes though, which help clean up the appearance, and there's no question that the standard safety gear is much appreciated in this day when you just can't be too careful.  The good news is that the new styling, features, and other stuff don't come at a huge price. While the IS 200t -- and the rest of the IS lineup for that matter -- is about $500 more than last year, that's hardly a big jump. More features and better styling without a big price increase? Sounds good to us.

6 Differences Between Being In Love And Just Being Attached

Is it love, or is it just attachment?
We all have those friends who jump from relationship to relationship, and each time, they are “totally and completely in love.”
For those of us who have been single longer than two of their relationships combined, we can’t help but wonder how someone can possibly be “in love” with all these people.
I mean, come on. It’s not love. It’s fear of being alone. Right?
Yes. And no. I mean we can’t calculate love any more than we can election polls or Miley’s next er*tic exorcism. It’s just something you get a feeling about.
But what if your feeling is wrong? What if you’re just so damn scared of being alone that anyone who comes close to making you feel safe and secure feels like your soulmate?
You know those relationships you got out of, and after a few months, you couldn’t believe you ever said those three beautiful words to someone you wouldn’t want to be seen with today? How could you love someone so grotesque? Someone so not your type? Someone so shallow?
Well, it’s usually because it wasn’t love. It was attachment.
I have no real insight in knowing if your love is real or if it’s just insecurity masked in AXE body spray, but I can give you some general pointers. They’re the kind of pointers to show your friend because she’s becoming way too attached to that douchebag you thought for sure would be a one-night stand.
Because you don’t want to attend a wedding where the only thing the bride has to say about the groom is that “he’s always there.” And if you’re not sure about your own love motives, take a look at the list to decipher if what you’re doing is worth all the time invested.

1. Love is passionate; attachment is apathetic
They say the closest feeling to love is hate, hence why after you break up with someone, all that beautiful, selfless love turns into raging, passionate, inexplicable hate.
When you’re just attached to someone, however, you never really get that rage. You get paranoia, anxiety and moments of irritation, but you don’t let those anxious feelings confuse you for something as beautiful and important as real hate.
2. Love is selfless; attachment is self-centered
When you’re in love, it’s all about the other person. For the first time in your life, you want to put someone else’s needs before your own.
When it’s just attachment, you just want someone to be there before you. You’re not looking out for him or her — you’re looking out for you.
The only reason you’re buying this person new bedding from Bed Bath & Beyond is so you don’t have to sleep alone anymore. Everything you do for your partner is a little bit about you.
3. Love is hard; attachment is only difficult when you’re apart
Real love is never easy. You’d think it would be because it’s so pure and beautiful, but anything that intense and life-changing takes work. You must foster it and keep it nourished.
With attachment, there’s nothing to grow and feed; it’s just about how many times you can see each other in a week.
You need this person the same way you need a fix. It’s not growing, blooming or changing into another dimension. Like any drug, the high is not long-term, and you will come down.
4.Love is freeing; attachment is possessive
When you’re in love, you don’t need to see the person to feel safe. You don’t need to be with this person to understand how he or she feels. You never wonder about your love’s affection and never get jealous.
When it’s just attachment, you never have a true hold on your partner’s feelings because the only time you feel safe is when you’re with him or her. When you’re apart, you can’t help but wonder what, or who, he or she is doing.
If they’re also just attached, doesn’t that mean they need someone to attach to?
5. Love is empowering; attachment is all about power
There’s nothing like real love to make you feel like you can do anything. It gives you a new sense of freedom, a rejuvenated energy. You’re alive and ready to take on the world.
When it’s just an attachment, it becomes a power struggle. You want to make sure you’re the one in the relationship who doesn’t get left. You’re the one calling the shots, and you’re the one with the key to the handcuffs.
6. Love is timeless; attachment is timed
When you’re in love — and I mean really in love — that’s it. Whether it works out or not, this person will always be the love of your life.
Attachment doesn’t work like that. Attachment is always on a deadline, always on standby. Attachment isn’t real — it’s like a limbo for real love.
One of these days, one of you is going to find that real love and all that attachment you placed on each other will fall off as quickly as you put it on.

Real love doesn’t fall off; it stays with you forever.

Here Are 9 Lesser-Known Traits Of Serial Killers...Do You or know anyone who Have Any?

I'm sure we could all name few common characteristics of serial killers.

Narcissistic tendencies, antisocial behavior, and torturing animals as children all come to mind, but are you aware of the lesser-known traits that many murderers share?

If you aren't, there's no need to worry about missing out on important information, because here are a few more warning signs to watch for if you suspect that somebody might be a serial killer.

1. More than 60 percent of serial killers wet their beds past the age of 12, and criminologists consider this to be a major warning sign that children may grow up to become murderers.

2. Murderers without any social structure in their lives likely can't have normal sexual relationships and prefer auto-erotic activities.


Some even become obsessed with masturbation, like Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, who had scars on his genitals because of how aggressive he was with himself.

3. Many serial killers often had some type of head injury when they were children that damaged their frontal lobe, which controls judgment, self-control, and social relations.



4. It isn't uncommon for mothers of serial killers to have abused alcohol or other substances while they were pregnant with them.



5. Murderers and violent offenders tend to have higher levels of toxic metals in their systems like lead, cadmium, and manganese, which lowers serotonin and dopamine levels and causes aggressive behavior.


For example, cadmium and lead were both found in mass-murderer James Huberty's body during his autopsy.

6. Most killers choose victims that share their race.



7. We tend to assume that all serial killers are extraordinarily smart, but that isn't always the case. In this study of over 200 serial killers, the average calculated from their combined IQ numbers was normal.


8. Serial killers are fascinated by authority figures -- so much, in fact, that many try to get military or police officer jobs.


John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy both pretended to be policemen to get to their victims more easily.

9. A number of these people have tried committing suicide on more than one occasion -- Charles Cullen attempted to end his life 20 times.



Of course, these characteristics don't apply to all killers, and having a few doesn't exactly make you one of them. But they sure are creepy to think about, right?

8 Amazing Black And White Images That Will Change The Way You See Breastfeeding !!!!

Australian photographer Sarah Murnane is travelling Australia on a venture known as 'The Australian Breastfeeding Project'. Murnane seeks to capture a photo series of mums breastfeeding their babies in the hopes that negative stigma's about breastfeeding will be eradicated.
Show Full Text
“I want to empower breastfeeding mothers and the next time they sit down to feed their baby wherever they may be, they know they have the support of thousands” states Murnane. “I want to bring about awareness to the benefits of breastfeeding including long term and the fact that most women struggle. So many women do not have enough support or education to help them continue breastfeeding.”
Murnane encourages onlookers of a breastfed baby with these words. “The next time you see a mother breastfeeding her child and feel the need to say something, make eye contact with her, smile and simply tell her what an amazing job she is doing. Give them a 'thank you for breastfeeding in public card' that the project mails out for free. She will remember it, it may be the first time she gets the courage up to feed in public, you just might change her whole breastfeeding journey.”
Together through the power of images we will change the negative views surrounding breastfeeding.

How to Remove Stains Like Mustard, Red Wine, and gum


Life can be messy. One moment you’re enjoying a hot dog with mustard when a splatter of the yellow stuff suddenly lands on your shirt. Or you're sipping a tasty Merlot when a party-crashing dog bumps into you, splashing the red wine all over your pants. Next thing you know, people are offering foolproof methods to remove the stain, but beware: Sometimes their "surefire" tips are wrong and your clothes end up in worse shape. 
Pat Slaven, a textile expert at Consumer Reports for 21 years, knows what to do when stains happen.
“The best thing to do is to get as much of the mess off as soon as possible—scrape it off, blot it off—without rubbing or spreading,” says Slaven. “If you don’t know what to do next, liquid dish detergent mixed with water is a great choice.” Use a damp white cloth with a little detergent, and try blotting an inconspicuous spot first so that you don’t ruin the garment. 
Read below how to remove tough mustard, red wine and chewing gum. Some of the advice involves weird but solid science. 
Yellow MustardCurcumin not lends mustard it yellow color but also makes a mustard stain hard to remove from fabric. To deal with a mustard stain, scrape off the condiment without spreading. Mix 1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent in 1 cup of warm water, work into fabric, rinse well, and hang the clothing item in the sun. (Curcumin is very sensitive to sunlight—nature’s bleaching agent.) This method works on most anything that can be left in the sun for a few hours, including rugs and upholstery. 
Red WineForget that advice about using white wine or a clear sugary soda to remove red-wine stains. “It may work initially, but over time you wind up with a permanent brown stain,” says Slaven. Instead, wet and blot the fabric immediately. Hand-wash in 2 cups of warm water mixed with 2 teaspoons of liquid dish detergent. While the fabric is wet, liberally apply 3 percent hydrogen peroxide to the garment then lay it in the sun for several hours to bleach naturally. 

Chewing GumYou can’t wash gum out, and freezing then scraping the garment can damage the fabric. Extra-strength Bengay is what you need. This analgesic rub contains methyl salicylate, which dissolves the gum base. Heat gum with a hair dryer, scrape off as much as possible with a plastic knife, work in a dab of Bengay, then use a zip-top bag to pick off the resulting goo that's chemically more attracted to the plastic than a paper towel.

Honda 2FM prototypes exported to Japan


Honda India has exported prototype test vehicles of the 2FM from India. This is expected to be the Jazz-based crossover and will make its debut in markets like India and Brazil next year. Over the last few months Honda had been importing components for the same from various locations. The export of completed prototypes indicates that the cars are destined for a final sign off from Tokyo before hitting the production lines.  

The cars that have been exported are powered by the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine and are in the S, V and VX trim levels. However, we believe that Honda will also offer the car with the 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine.

Speculative renderings and pictures of the test cars indicate that Honda will go with the standard formula of hatchback-based crossovers. This includes adding a cladding to the exterior of the vehicle, fitting it with taller wheels and probably a different rear end to differentiate it from the standard Jazz. This vehicle will rival the likes of the Hyundai i20 Active, Fiat Avventura and the Volkswagen Cross Polo.

10 ways your partner is unfaithful to you


Having an affair is not even on your radar. Never gonna happen. You love your spouse and you’d never be unfaithful to her or him. However, you may be unaware of other ways you are being unfaithful. If these actions continue, you may find yourself on the slippery slope that leads to that never-intended affair and a sorrow you never wanted in your life.
Unfaithfulness usually creeps in through the back door, disguising itself as harmless fun or innocent behavior. If you want your marriage to endure and be filled with happiness you may need to check this list to see if you have fallen prey to any of these unfaithful behaviors.

1. Flirting
Having a little playful fun at the office with a co-worker can’t be too bad, you may rationalize. After all, flirting is fun. Avoid it like the plague. It’s dangerous. If someone flirts with you, ignore it. What falls into the category of flirting? Here’s one explanation of what flirting is. “[It] usually involves speaking and behaving in a way that suggests a mildly greater intimacy than the actual relationship between the parties would justify, though within the rules of social etiquette, which generally disapproves of a direct expression of sexual interest. This may be accomplished by communicating a sense of playfulness or irony… Body language can include flicking the hair, eye contact, brief touching, etc.”
Married people should never engage in this type of behavior with anyone other than their spouse. It is a full-on form of unfaithfulness that leads to no good. The one you’re flirting with may take it as an invitation and pursue a relationship you never intended.
2. Confiding in the opposite gender
When you pour out your troubles to someone of the opposite gender you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position. It may seem harmless. After all, you just needed a shoulder to cry on. If you’ve got a problem, talk about it with your spouse. That’s your best-ever shoulder to cry on. If that’s not working for you, try a trusted relative, clergyman, or therapist. Not someone who may consider this an invitation for intimacy. Even if it doesn’t start that way, too often it ends that way. It’s a form of unfaithfulness.
3. Spending time alone with someone else
What appears to be an innocent lunch out with someone of the opposite sex or stopping by for a chat at that someone’s home without your spouse is definitely in the category of unfaithful behavior. You or the other person may say, “Hey, we’re both adults. Nothing’s going to happen.” Well, things do happen. It’s not appropriate. Go home and spend that time with your spouse.
4. Talking negatively about your mate
When you are a true friend to someone you never say bad things about them to others. Your mate is your best friend and is the last person you should ever talk about negatively. If you have a beef with your honey, talk it out with him or her. Let your conversations with others focus on the good things about your spouse. That’s being faithful. The exception here is abuse. If abuse is happening it needs to be reported to a trusted friend, counselor, and the police. You must keep yourself safe.

5. Chatting on the phone and Internet with someone of the opposite se%
If you think this is harmless, think again. It may start out that way, but it definitely won’t end that way. Some have engaged in what they considered innocent talk with a former boyfriend or girlfriend from high school or college days, or even a stranger. One thing can lead to another and before you know it, your marriage is in jeopardy. Don’t do it. It will only end in sorrow and heartbreak for your family.
6. Dressing to attract the attention of someone other than your spouse
If you’re dressing up to look good for someone else, you need to reexamine your motives. Trying to attract someone else by wearing a sexy looking outfit is one more way to jump into unfaithful waters.
7. Writing personal intimate notes or letters to someone else
If you’re writing a letter of condolence or congratulations, or other good wishes, let it be from both you and your spouse. Then there will be no misunderstanding about your intentions.

8. Not being a willing sexual partner with your spouse
Being faithful to your spouse means giving yourself over to him or her to enjoy the intimate side of your marriage. To withhold sexual intimacy from your spouse if not doing your part in keeping your marriage strong and fulfilling. It creates sorrow and even suspicion. Being a faithful spouse means doing your part to make it a beautiful relationship in all aspects.
9. Putting your parents before your spouse
Your spouse must always be the number one person in your life. If something wonderful happens to you, like a promotion, a confirmation of a pregnancy, or any other good news, you may be tempted to immediately call a parent to share in the joy. Resist. Let your spouse be the first to know your good news. Then share it with others.
10. Putting your children before your spouse
Kids matter. They are very important people in your life, but not more important than your spouse. If you knock your spouse off the top of your priority list you are not showing total fidelity to him or her. Your mate must come first. Not only does it cement your marriage and make it stronger, it gives your children the best security blanket they will ever have.
Check yourself on these points and make sure you are being 100 percent faithful to your spouse. By doing this you will create a genuinely happy and fulfilling marriage.
