The Egyptian military has shared some of the first photos of the wreckage from EgyptAir flight 804. The images, which show a life jacket, part of a chair, and what appears to be a ruined section of fuselage, come after French investigators confirmed on Saturday that smoke was detected in multiple places onboard the aircraft moments before it plummeted into the Mediterranean. 

Despite this development, the cause of the crash that killed all 66 on board remains unclear.

Agency spokesman Sebastien Barthe told The Associated Press in Paris that the plane's automatic-detection system sent messages indicating smoke a few minutes before the plane disappeared from radar while flying over the east Mediterranean early on Thursday morning.

The 427-foot Epiphany Concept Could Become One of the World’s Largest Yachts

If launched today, Andy Waugh’s 426.5-foot Epiphany superyacht concept would be one of the largest yachts in the world. The sleek black-and-white boat sports giant glass windows and an eye-catching, curvaceous exterior. Multiple decks and lounges provide plenty of space to soak up the sunshine.

The main bar opens to the aft deck to allow alfresco dining.

A day in the life of Jacob the Jeweler, the man behind the world's wildest jewels and watches

Courtney VerrillThe Astronomia Clarity watch is a mechanical wonder — and it's worth $600,000.

For the biggest, boldest bling, A-listers and billionaires have turned to one man for the last 30 years. And for the most complicated watches in the game? Still the same man.

His name is Jacob Arabo, although you may have heard him referred to as "Jacob the Jeweler" in rap songs by Kanye West or 50 Cent. His clientele is a who's-who of the international elite and Hollywood stars, from Cristiano Ronaldo to Jay Z and Beyoncé. The story of his rise through the luxury jewelry industry is, like his designs, larger than life.

Business Insider spent an afternoon with Arabo to learn just how this entrepreneurial Soviet émigré scaled the heights of the over-the-top jewelry and watchmaking business. It's the story of a bold outsider becoming the ultimate insider — and it's filled with diamonds.

Is YOUR marriage in trouble? Contempt, addiction and no sex are some of the signs your relationship is headed for divorce

For some people divorce comes out of nowhere. For others it builds up over a long period of time. 

So how do you know when issues with your spouse might lead to separation?

Clinical psychologist Dr Melissa Keogh has written an article for Kidspot indicating the seven signs your marriage is on the rocks and might be headed for divorce.

Whilst there are some that might seem obvious, other indicators are more subtle and worth paying attention to.

On the rocks: Clinical psychologist Dr Melissa Keogh has shared the seven signs that a marriage is heading for divorce

No nookie: A lack of sex is a big sign that a marriage isn't going well, and Dr Keogh suggests going to a sex therapist if you and your partner are having problems

ARE YOU HEADED FOR DIVORCE?

• You're not having sex 
• Abuse from a partner
• Untreated personality disorder in a partner
• Serial infidelity
• Addiction issues
• Feelings of contempt
• Not being able to recall fond memories of the relationship 

One of the biggest warning signs - no nookie. A lack of sex in a relationship can be a sign of major problems according to Dr Keogh.

And whilst some people have fulfilling relationships with no sex, it's worth seeing a relationship counselor or sex therapist if you're having this issue.

Another warning sign is abuse, either physical, emotional or verbal, and controlling behaviors. If a partner is abusive, and won't change their behavior, then this can lead to the end of the relationship. 

Something which can be linked to abusive behavior, is an untreated personality disorder which is another warning sign of a toxic relationship.
