If you are trying to buy on a budget (you have a baby to think about, after all!), Walmart is a great place to look. Its maternity section is brimming with dresses, tops and pants that are both fashion-forward and super affordable. We love Walmart's "Maternity Essentials" section, which has all the basics you'll need for those nine months (and beyond).
During my first trimester, I thought I might get away with continuing to wear my low-slung hipster jeans for the duration. And I probably could have eeked them out for way longer than I did, had I invested in button extenders or a Bump Bandeau (as recommended by JTryner in an earlier thread). But there was always going to come a point when I got a little larger all over (be it from swelling, fat or, y'know, the extra 2 ½ pints of blood that swishes around in women when they're growing a foetus).
en tant que conseillère mode je n'ai pas vus beaucoup de côté "management" de l'entreprise, mais ce que j'ai vu de ma gérante et toute l'équipe de gestion de mon magasin était très bien. Elles sont acceuillantes et prètes à aider toutes celles qui veulent s'avancer dans la compagnie. j'ai appris beaucoup sur moi, comme mes aptitudes d'organisation en travaillant dans l'arrière-boutique. j'ai aussi appris beaucoup sur le service à la clientèle. L'aspect le plus agréable de mon poste sont mes heures passé dans l'arrière-boutique; ça me permet d'utilisé ma créativité et ma logique pour trouvé des nouvelles idées d'entreposage pour les nombreux morceaux de vêtements que nous reçevont à chaque semaine.
ThredUp is an online consignment store, but if you do not mind purchasing pre-worn items, then this can be an excellent destination for finding affordable maternity apparel. ThredUp is actually the first place I purchased a couple of maternity items from because I could not resist the low prices. They currently have more than 3,000 maternity items listed for sale, and all are a fraction of their original retail prices.
I worked this job part time for a year before deciding to return to work full time after staying home for 5 years with my kids. Part time hours were fine; pay was minimum wage. I was repeatedly offered the store manager position but the hours would have been less than ideal (working every weekend and several evenings a week) and the pay offered was brutal. All associates were pushed to sell specific products and these sales were tracked weekly. The review process was horrible- you could rate 'excellent' in every aspect, but if your store wasn't meeting the sales budget, you 'failed' your overall review.

My boss and team leads were incompetent. I was hired with promises of 35+ hours per week and that there was no team lead above me and I could move up quickly. There was a team lead already hired that prevented me from moving up. That team lead spread lies about me and when I brought it up to my boss she refused to go to HR and told me not to either. My other team lead constantly reminds me I'm not going got heaven

2) Not so good (although perhaps understandable) return policy. Everything on sale is no return and the one dress we liked just enough to buy, we learned at checkout was no return also (even though it was not on sale) because it was classified as an "occasional" or "party" dress. My wife was on the fence about the purchase anyway and this was enough to make her change her mind and not buy it.

Alessandro Del Piero is not only a fan of AFC Asian Cup Australia 2015 but of the family-friendly ticket bargains that will help cement its place in Australian football folklore next summer.
"I think the prices are good, not too high, and will encourage everyone to watch. They will be great games and it will be a great event," said the tournament's global ambassador as organisers prepared to release the first venue packs for public sale.
"It's pretty smart to encourage families," said the former Italian, Juventus and Sydney FC great.
" It's fantastic when you can spend time with your children at top-level games like the Asian Cup. I think it's a great gift for them."
He plans to do just that himself in January 2015. "Yes, for sure. Why not? Australia has all the organisation and the stadiums to give a perfect welcome to the world," said Del Piero, who will appear again in Australia when the A-League All Stars play touring Juventus in August.
Del Piero believes the Socceroos have a "great possibility" of reaching the Asian Cup final on home soil, a prospect which should have stadiums buzzing in the five host cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and Newcastle.
"They have a great opportunity to get energy from their own fans, getting great support from their friends and family and from all the country.
"In terms of crowd attention, media, sponsors and the commercial situation, Asia is the most interesting place in the world," he said.
Asian Cup venue packs go on sale to the general public at noon on Monday May 19.
They are the ultimate tickets for passionate fans wanting the best seats in the house for every match in one city, with a hefty saving of up to 20 per cent.
Highlights for fans buying venue packs in each of the five host cities include:
Sydney: Seven matches, including the final itself on January 31, one semi-final and one quarter- final. The semi and the final could involve the Socceroos. Sydney also hosts Australia's second group match against Oman and fellow World Cup finalist Iran's match against Qatar. All seven matches from $229.
Melbourne: One quarter-final plus six star-studded group matches, five of them involving past Asian Cup champions. Melbourne will not only host the opening ceremony, which precedes Australia's first match against Kuwait, but will provide the stage for Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, who between them have won 11 of the 15 Asian Cups decided so far. All seven matches from $159.
Brisbane: One quarter-final and six group matches, including the much anticipated showdown between World Cup finalists Australia and South Korea. Brisbane will also host another World Cup finalist in Iran, and a standout match between the past two Asian Cup champions, Japan and Iraq. "That's a world class game," says Paul Okon. "If you love football, who wouldn't want to go and watch such an event?" Brisbane also presents two matches involving China, sure to be followed by a large and colourful contingent from the local Chinese community. All seven matches from $139.
Canberra: One quarter-final and six group matches, including two featuring the mighty Korean Republic, World Cup finalists and twice former Asian Cup champions. Canberra will also host China's match against dark horse North Korea, and matches featuring past champions Iraq and Kuwait. All seven matches from $109.
Newcastle: Four matches, including two at the pointy end of the tournament, a semi-final and the play-off for third place, either of which could involve the Socceroos . Newcastle will also set the stage for the first appearance of the mighty Japanese, reigning Asian Cup champions, and former winner Kuwait's tough match against Oman. All four matches from $99.

I didn't collect an email list when I built GreenExamAcademy.com or when I started SmartPassiveIncome.com in 2008. That was a huge mistake. It does cost money to build an email list, but it's worth every penny. I recommend using ConvertKit for this. They have really good pricing, and you pay more as you grow. By far, it's the best service out there. On SPI TV Ep. 28, I did a full ConvertKit demo you can check out if you're interested! [Full Disclosure: I'm a compensated advisor and an affiliate for ConvertKit.]
Advertise! Whether you pay for advertising or you trade advertising with related websites and blogs, or you use free search sites, the important thing to remember is to put in the time and keep track of what works. Search out other websites and blogs with similar content and leave comments with your contact info. There are services that will do all the marketing for you for a fee, but to start out, you can do the marketing yourself. Fiverr.com will advertise your website starting at $5.
Find work. When you first start out, you may have to accept work writing about a topic you don't find all that interesting. You must keep an open mind and be willing to accept work that may not be in your desired field. However, as you continue to write, you not only learn about more topics, but you also build your reputation. With time, you can be choosier about assignments you want to accept.[19]
Very true great article wanted to ask you if I could reach out to you through email about a great way to save money and make money off bills you already pay I am trying to network and help people out and reach out to people who are like minded so I don't waste any time for anyone look forward to hearing from you. You can reach me at email@example.com and we can speak further thanks again.
If you've got experience and expertise in a specific area of business, there are hundreds if not thousands of business owners who would love to jump on a phone call and pick your brain. This can be an easy way to make extra money online and to hone your skills to use in your consulting or freelance business. Sites like Clarity.fm let you create a profile where entrepreneurs and business owners can pre-pay to book a phone call with you for a set amount of time. Whether you're an expert in raising money for startups, building apps, or running a restaurant, you can make extra money selling a few minutes of your time to people in need.
There are many freelance options for graphic designers who are looking to make money online. Designing layouts and graphics for promotional material, corporate reports, magazines or book covers, are all tasks that businesses are looking for online freelancers to complete. Due to its flexible nature, graphic design possibilities can range from one-off projects to ongoing work with regular clients.
If you have graphic design skills then you could make money online by creating and selling your own design elements, like templates, fonts, graphics, and other assets. This is a great way to earn extra money and build up a portfolio of work, which could lead to you picking up freelance graphic design jobs. Websites like Envato Elements pay you a fee per element sold, which can become quite profitable if your work is popular.
You can create your blog using a free platform from WordPress.org, but you'll need to pay a small amount – as little as $4 per month – to have your blog hosted. Try GoDaddy.com, which can provide a domain name for your site, email addresses, database storage and other Web hosting services. To make money, you can use the free Google AdSense service to display advertisements on your site. The amount you're paid varies by ad and usually depends on how many people see it. There's also what's called affiliate marketing, in which you earn a commission (usually less than 10%) whenever someone clicks on an ad on your site and purchases a product. The Amazon Associates affiliate program allows you to advertise the retailer's products on your site, or try affiliate networks such as CJ Affiliate or ShareASale that work with thousands of companies. Depending on how much time you put into your blog and how many people visit it, you could be making a few hundred dollars each month within a year.
If my piece of content is so unique and valuable around hiking backpack recommendations, that other reputable outdoor websites are willing to link to it and build the page's authority, then I'd have a very real opportunity to rank high in organic search for these search terms (meaning, my page will come up first when someone searches for hiking backpacks).
Selection. One of the keys to success on Etsy is selection, according to industry insiders. In fact, the goal of most serious shop owners is to have at least 200 items for sale. If you're creating all of those items yourself, that's a pretty big time commitment. But the more options you give to your customers, the higher the chances that you'll make a sale.
Many work-at-home companies hire you as an independent contractor as opposed to an employee. That means you are responsible for submitting your own tax payments. Taxes won't be taken out of your check like you are probably used to. It's so important that you keep good records of your income – and expenses. I highly recommend Quickbooks Self-Employed.
More than half a billion products are sold on Amazon every month, making it an incredible opportunity to make money online. But, like everything else that involves making money online, you have to do quite a bit of work to earn it. One option on Amazon is to find products that are already made and buy and sell them at a discount. For example, you could research generic products such as clocks, keychains and mugs to attach to your brand. For an incredible deep dive on how to make extra money with this strategy, check out how digital marketer Neil Patel recently did this as a public experiment right here on his blog.
While you could launch a regular business selling someone else's products, you could also invent your own product, like billionaire fitness pioneer, Howard Panes who teamed up with Ab Roller creator, Don Brown to create the Stealth, a fitness system that gamifies core workouts. While businesses based on inventions might seem more complex to create, they do present attractive investment opportunities as depicted on popular shows like billionaire, Mark Cuban, and Daymond John's, Shark Tank.
Big companies are generally (or at least should be) flexible if you want to work from home a few days a week. But if you want to do it full-time, smaller companies can be a better bet, because your working remotely can help them save on office space. You can probably find lots of startups or small businesses looking for tech help who have the resources to pay your salary, but not to relocate you or pay for additional office space.
It can take time to build up your personal freelance business. Yet, there is more demand than ever for freelancers. So, if you want to kick start making money online through freelancing you can join one of the top freelance networks, such as Flexjobs, SolidGigs, Upwork, Fiverr, or PeoplePerHour. Sign up, build your profile, upload some samples of your work and start making extra money by doing small freelance jobs.
Serve as an online juror. Some attorneys use large panels of online mock jurors to get feedback on their cases before they go to trial. However, the mock jurors must live in the county or federal district where the case will be tried. You can sign up at a couple of sites and receive e-mail notifications if a case is posted in your area. EJury.com pays $5 to $10 per case via the online payment system PayPal. You can't be an attorney, paralegal or legal assistant – or even related to an attorney – to participate. EJury says you're likely to have better luck getting picked if you live in a large metropolitan area, where more cases are tried, rather than a rural area. The average case takes about 35 minutes to review. At OnlineVerdict.com, where cases typically take between 20 minutes and one hour to review, fees range from $20 to $60. Payment is made by check.
Create a stylish and functional website. Elegant or funky, classical or hipster, your online store should reflect what you're selling. No matter what your style is, it's important to give off a professional air. Since you won't be able to earn people's trust in person, your website will have to do the selling for you. Your site should be engaging, and most importantly, easy for customers to use when they're ready to make a purchase.[4]
Get paid for your opinions. Taking surveys online can be a relatively quick way to earn enough to afford a few extras. Harris Poll Online, for example, awards points for the completion of online surveys, which can take between five and 25 minutes to fill out. Survey takers accumulate points and can redeem them for gift cards from retailers such as Amazon and Starbucks. Other online outfits that will pay you to take surveys include SurveyClub, Global Test Market and Swagbucks. There's no cost to sign up.
Blogging can be a great side hustle. Though the income may not be steady and it can take awhile to get rolling, there are a few steps you can take to ensure success. I would recommend that before you start thinking about money, you start thinking about the topics you are truly passionate about. What can you talk about and learn about for days? That's exactly what you'll be doing for years to come, after all. Get some more tips on starting a blog here: How to Start a Blog and Make Money in 7 Steps
CashCrate sends out literally thousands of payments a month to users just like you who spend time completing surveys and offers on CashCrate.com. How do they do it? Well, they do surveys and offers regularly. It really adds up! Your initial goal should be to meet minimum payout, which is $20.00. Making $20.00 in free cash is actually quite easy considering there are hundreds of surveys and offers available, but here are a few tips to get you to your goal faster:
This has become a popular business model for online entrepreneurs over the past several years, and will probably just continue to grow in popularity. The best thing about selling online courses is that once you do the up-front work in creating the course and setting up your marketing strategy, you can get paid over and over again for work you do once.

It's not just poker straight hair that can be achieved with the fantastic range of stylers from ghd, but you can also curl, wave and flick your hair into any desired hairstyle. With a vast range of hair tutorials on the ghd website, as well as online, you will never be short of looks to create. The great thing about ghd straighteners is that you can create almost all styles, with one model of Ghd hair straighteners.
Bought these on recommendation of my hairdresser to deal with my chemo damaged hair. Thankfully I didn't lose my hair but it did go really thin during treatment. 18 months on from treatment my once fine, straight and easily managed hair has come back in thick with random curly and wavy bits. My old straighteners which had served me well over the years were snagging, pulling and breaking both the damaged and newly growing hair but these ones glide through the hair with hardly any breakage. These ... read more
Staying true to its name, a good hair day is guaranteed with the use of ghd products. From the iconic ghd straighteners and ghd stylers, which continue to be a cult must-have for women in search of beautiful hair, to the ghd hairdryers which promise salon style in half the time, ghd products combine style with styling, making sure your dresser looks as chic as your hair.
Ghd Eclipse, the creme de la creme of Ghd Hair Straightners, tackles any hair texturequickly and easy. You get long lasting curls, leaving your hair glossy with an unbeatable shine. Outside of the styler is cool, it doesn't heat, which is better when curling your hair. This styler will also turn itself off fter 30 mins. This Styler is a Game Changer.
Featuring advanced ceramic heat technology, the ghd Gold Professional Performance 2" Styler is designed to operate at the optimum 365°F styling temperature for healthy-looking hair with enhanced, lustrous shine. Styling thicker, longer hair is quicker and easier thanks to the larger plates that glide through strands without snagging for fast, effortless styling and flawlessly polished strands. It heats up in as little as 30 seconds to tame frizz and transform coarse textures into sleek, smooth styles that last. The styler has contoured, round edges to unleash undulating waves, and with its styling versatility, you can change your look every day.
The perfect tool for all your hiar styling needs. universal voltage for worldwide travel use. . The nose of the plates touch first, so it leaves a very small gap as you look down the plates, but if clamped down on tightly, they do eventually touch. ghd stylers have floating plates that help the hair glide through the hair effortlessly. The gap should almost disappear once the hair glides through the plates
We'll admit, the $150 price tag did give us pause, but when it comes to applying high heat to our hair, we want to make sure the styling process is as quick and snag-free as possible. While a lower quality tool may save your budget in the short term, if its mechanics aren't up to par it could require a few extra passes over your hair, which can wind up damaging your strands in the long run. With the GHD Classic Styler all you need is a quick glide in order to achieve perfectly smooth hair. The thin, rounded barrel even makes it ideal for mastering those loose waves you've been dreaming of.
Against the ghd Platinum Styler: On the other hand, the Platinum Styler features more sensors and heaters than the new ghd Gold. This essentially means it will heat the hair quicker, and is a little safer in terms of heat delivery, too. Six sensors and heaters work to deliver optimal heat to the hair, instinctively adjusting to give you a transformative experience. Where this is the top-of-the-range choice, the ghd Gold Professional Styler sits perfectly in the middle, a great mix of affordability and professional quality.
Always on the road? You can use the GHD Classic Styler during travels; its universal voltage plug can be used in a variety of sockets and also automatically adjusts its own voltage for optimum versatility. The device itself is equipped with a variety of "modes" to fit your lifestyle. When the device is not in use for 30 minute, it reverts to sleep mode so you can save up on energy and heat temperature. Its shiver mode, on the other hand, is an advanced option that fights condensation in a room with temperatures below 5°C.
To achieve stunning curls: Mist hair with GHD Heat Protect Spray (sold separately). Section the hair and lightly mist with a Curl Hold Spray (sold separately) to add shine and hold when styling. Place a fine section of hair between the plates of your GHD Professional Styler vertically one inch away from the root. Gently close the styler with minimum tension. Turn the styler clockwise by 90 degrees. For an intense stunning curl, continue to turn the styler by another 90 degrees as you glide from root to end; pull the styler very slowly away from the head in a continuous smooth movement. For a softer curl, pull the styler quickly through the hair away from the head in one continuous smooth movement. An S-shaped vertical curl is created. To complete the style, repeat through all sections. Finally, separate and brush out the curls with your fingers for more extreme curls, or with a wide-tooth comb for soft, loose waves.
I have had this product for three years now and am happy to report I am satisfied with the product from day one. It's super easy to use and provides me perfect results every time. I couldn't live without my GHD and believe investing in a superior product is mandatory. This model is pretty basic, but does the job! It heats up within a few seconds and looks good when not in use. I haven't had any issues with it as it feels and looks well built. I will always stick with GHD straighteners, as I am a very happy customer!
Over a decade on from revolutionising hairstyling with the launch of its first styler, ghd remains true to its founding ethos: the spirit of transformation. Ghd have since broadened their super range from stylers to professional quality brushes and the most impressive hairdryers available on the market today. Even after all these years the Ghd hair straightener is still very much a must have for most women and men who want smooth, sleek luscious hair - especially with us girls from Millies.
In 2001, ghd revolutionised the hair styling industry with the launch of the first ghd hair straightener. An instant hairstyling phenomenon; ceramic heat technology was introduced to create smooth, sleek results that lasted. Since creating the original professional styler, ghd have continued to work with ghd scientists and stylists to develop innovative, breakthrough technology to ensure that all ghd stylers style faster and give amazing results; whatever your hair type.
This ghd Gold Classic Styler shines bright with a luxe, sleek design that gives a professional finish. The luxurious plates smooth your hair for an ultra-shiny result, with contoured edges that help to create perfect curls and waves. The innovative golden plates have a high-gloss finish to glide through hair effortlessly, giving you a salon perfect finish every time. The ghd Gold Classic Styler stay cooler to touch for longer and are lighter to handle, and the universal voltage ensures same styling performance wherever you are in the world.
Looked around at new ones, checked reviews and other ghd models and decided (based on price mainly) that I would just buy the same 'original' one again. It's great. Better results- smooth and straight with little effort - and quicker heat up than my old one - extremely quick. Much cheaper than the fancier models. Slim and easy to store away. Glad I went for this again.

Christmas is here and tis truly the season to be jolly but what better gift for fans of the Premier League than a combined XI at the half-mark of the 2017-18 season?
After 19 rounds played, one team has bossed over the English top-flight in an unforeseen manner and understandably their players dominate The Statesman's selection, but there are a few noteworthy inclusions from a side that have punched above their weight as well.
Don't miss: Ex-Barcelona, Juventus star Gianluca Zambrotta reveals his all-time best XI!
The Premier League's best XI, in a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Goalkeeper: David de Gea (Manchester United)
City custodian Ederson may have him beat in terms of goals conceded (12-15) and clean-sheets (12-10), but David de Gea has been the outstanding goalkeeper of the Premier League so far.
The Real Madrid target is second only to Lukasz Fabianski of Swansea in saves made (76-70), which just goes on to prove that in spite of Jose Mourinho's pragmatic style, the Red Devils owe a lot to their flying Spaniard.
Despite having an ever-changing back-four (or three) in front of him, de Gea has used his hands, feet and just about every other body part to keep the opposition at bay and his highlight reel from the Arsenal game (where he made an gobsmacking 14 saves) alone was enough to warrant an inclusion.
Honourable mentions: Ederson (Manchester City) and Nick Pope (Burnley)
Left-back: Stephen Ward (Burnley)
Sean Dyche's Burnley have been the story of the season, barring the runaway leaders of course, and a major reason why the Clarets are contending for the European spots has been their stingy defence.
The 32-year-old Ward isn't the flashiest defender around, but he's been part of an impressive unit that have conceded just 15 goals in 19 games. Considering they lost 3-0 to Tottenham Hotspur on Matchday 19, their stats look even more impressive.
With just one goal and one assist, Ward may not produce too many exhilarating moments, but the Irishman will get the job done and he would have been on most teams' shopping lists had he not been on the wrong side of 30.
Honourable mentions: Sead Kolasinac (Arsenal) and Marcos Alonso (Chelsea)
Centre back: James Tarkowski (Burnley)
The second Clarets defender to feature in our XI and perhaps the finest of their back-four.
Currently serving a three-match ban for violent conduct, the 25-year-old has stepped up in style after Michael Keane departed for Everton.
Again, had Burnley not shipped three against Spurs, their defensive record would have been even more impressive.
As it stands, however, Tarkowski and co have proven to be tough nuts to crack and if the 6'3 Englishman can avoid these unnecessary suspensions, don't be surprised if Burnley keep going towards the business end of the season.
Honourable mentions: Phil Jones (Manchester United) and Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea)
Centre back: Nicolas Otamendi (Manchester City)
With John Stones in serious form, one had to fear for Nicolas Otamendi in what was a make-or-break season for the uncompromising Argentine.
After 19 games played, the 29-year-old has definitely made it while his more fancied team-mates (Stones and Vincent Kompany) have struggled with injuries to emerge as one of the first names on Pep Guardiola's team-sheet.
Four goals and an assist in 18 games (Otamendi was rested for one match) just goes on to prove that despite not being the tallest, the six-feet tall Otamendi is definitely a player who makes a difference on either end of the pitch.
Honourable mentions: Chris Smalling (Manchester United) and Ben Mee (Burnley)
Right-back: Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
Margins in the Premier League are extremely fine and while there was little to separate the Manchester clubs' right-backs, City's £50 million-recruit edges out United's Ecuadorian by a whisker.
The 27-year-old has always been blessed with a bountiful of physical attributes, but under Pep Guardiola, has started to get weed out the inconsistencies that prevented him from being considered elite.
A tally of four assists may not seem exceptional, but considering the fact that Walker is nearly unbeatable one-on-one and has been a crucial part of the league's best defence makes him a sure-shot for this XI.
Honourable mentions: Antonio Valencia (Manchester United) and Matthew Lowton (Burnley)
Defensive midfield: Fernandinho (Manchester City)
With all the hype surrounding Nemanja Matic's transfer from Chelsea to Manchester United, Ferandinho's contributions were overshadowed by the hulking Serbian's, especially till the time United were neck-and-neck with their derby rivals.
However, as the dust has settled, there seems to be one winner this season and no man has done a better job of protecting his defence than Fernadinho.
At 32, he may not have many top-flight seasons left in him, but the combative Brazilian is sure making them count.
Considering he's a defensive midfielder, goals is not a yardstick, but the veteran has chipped in with two strikes to suggest he's not a mug with the ball either.
Honourable mentions: Nemanja Matic (Manchester United) and N'Golo Kante (Chelsea)
Central midfield: Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
The best player in the Premier League?
At this stage, despite having a multitude of standout talents all around the English top-flight, it would certainly seem so.
The 26-year-old has a tally of six goals and eight assists so far, but the Belgian is a proper all-round player who dominates games on a weekly basis.
The ambipedal is no prima donna, for he runs his lung out in a bid to track back each time the Citizens lose the ball and it's not a stretch to say that without him, Pep Guardiola's side wouldn't be nearly as untouchable as they are now.
Honourable mentions: Paul Pogba (Manchester United) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (Watford)
Left wing: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
The Premier League's joint-highest scorer, Mo Salah has been akin to a phoenix rising from the ashes.
After a disastrous stint with Chelsea not so long ago, there were plenty of doubts over Salah's ability to cope with the hustle bustle of the English top-flight.
Fifteen goals and three assists later, the Reds winger has sent all his critics scurrying for cover.
While Jurgen Klopp's men will not be challenging for the title this year, if they can keep their wing wizard fit, they still stand a chance of making the top-four at least.
Honourable mentions: Leroy Sane (Manchester City) and Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Central attacking midfield: David Silva (Manchester City)
'El Mago', boosted by the sensational form of his Manchester City team-mates, has enjoyed a renaissance this season.
Yes, it's easy to accumulate a hefty goals + assists tally (eight and five, respectively) in a side as dominant as Manchester City, but one must remember that competition for starting spots is immense in any top team and the fact that Silva has started 17 games belies his importance.
Of late, the diminutive Spaniard has been founding the winner in tight games, just to prove he's no stat-padder and he continues to unlock stubborn defences with his deft craft.
Honourable mentions: Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool) and Wayne Rooney (Everton)
Right wing: Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
Had it not been for Salah, Sterling would easily have been the standout winger of the season. Taking in teammate Leroy Sane's fine form, that's no mean feat.
Sterling, under Pep Guardiola's tutelage has come into his own in 2017, finishing chances with aplomb he would have missed not so long ago.
Still only 23, the sky is the limit for the jet-heeled Englishman and considering his propensity to score late goals, he's a no-brainer selection.
Honourable mentions: Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City) and Richarlison (Watford)
Centre forward: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
In today's day and age, when the old-fashioned No.9 seems to be dying out, Tottenham Hotspur's main man is going strong and continues to plunder goals like nobody's business.
Level with Salah at the top of the charts with 15 strikes, the 'one-season wonder' has been the lone bright spot for the Lilywhites in a largely-disappointing Premier League campaign.
Clearly relishing competing with the likes of Sergio Aguero, Romelu Lukaku, Alvaro Morata apart from the aforementioned Salah, the 24-year-old continues to plug away, despite the majority of his teammates blowing hot and cold.
Honourable mentions: Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) and Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United)

Unbreakable smart lock devastated to discover screwdrivers exist
Tapplock: Once, twice, three times a screwupBy Kieren McCarthy in San Francisco 15 Jun 2018 at 21:32 214 SHARE ▼ Not sure that's supposed to happen. Ladies and gentlement: the Tapplock. Videograb: JerryRigEverything
Video It's never easy to crack into a market with an innovative new product but makers of the "world's first smart fingerprint padlock" have made one critical error: they forgot about the existence of screwdrivers.
Tapplock raised $320,000 in 2016 for their product that would allow you to use just your finger to open the "unbreakable" lock. Amazing. Things took a turn for the worse when the ship date of September came and went, and backers complained that the upstart has stopped posting any updates and wasn't responding to emails nor social media posts.
But after months of silence, the startup assured El Reg that everything was still moving forward and the delays were due to "issues with manufacturing in China."
Fast forward 18 months and finally – finally – the $100 Tapplock is out on the market and it is… well, how do we put this kindly? Somewhat flawed.
No less than three major problems with the lock have been discovered that make it less than useless because presumably people intend to use the lock to secure valuable things.
One of the first things to note is that the Tapplock used zinc aluminum alloy Zamak 3: something that it claims lends the lock "unbreakable durability." Unfortunately, as materials engineers are happy to point out, aluminum may be a lovely lightweight metal and this alloy does provide an enviable degree of detail when die cast, but it is not exactly the best choice for something that is supposed to be unbreakable.
It isn't very strong, it melts at high temperatures, and it is quite brittle. It looks cool. But it's more suited for its more common use: door handles. It will be easy to cut through this lock with bolt cutters.
Here we go
That, by the way, is not one of the three flaws.
The first major flaw was in the way it used Bluetooth to lock and unlock. Andrew Tierney, aka cybergibbons, reviewed the lock for Pen Test Partners, and it took him less than hour to find a way to open every single Tapplock.
If you use 'smart' Bluetooth locks, you're asking to be burgledREAD MORE
How is that possible? Well, it turns out the lock broadcast its own Bluetooth MAC address over the airwaves, and uses that MAC address to calculate a key used to lock and unlock the device.
Tierney cracked the system disturbingly quickly: "It upper cases the BLE MAC address and takes an MD5 hash. The 0-7 characters are key1, and the 16-23 are the serial number." The upshot? He was able to write a script, port it to an Android app, and open any nearby Tapplock wirelessly using his phone and Bluetooth, taking less than two seconds each time.
"This level of security is completely unacceptable," he complained. "Consumers deserve better, and treating your customers like this is hugely disrespectful. To be honest, I am lost for words."
The problem was so bad that Tierney informed the manufacturer, and gave it seven days before he went public with the fundamental flaw. Just hours before the deadline was up, Tapplock put out a security advisory warning that everyone needed to upgrade their lock's firmware "to get the latest protection."
"This patch addresses several Bluetooth/communication vulnerabilities that may allow unauthorised users to illegal gain access," the company noted. But Tierney notes that it doesn't mention that literally anyone can open any lock that doesn't have the firmware updated.
Holding to account
On to flaw 2.
Security researcher Vangelis Stykas published a blog post on Friday outlining that Tapplock API endpoints have literally no security checks beyond checking whether there was a valid token.
So if you create a Tapplock account and gain a login, you will be able – again – to open every single Tapplock out there.
Tierney noted in his piece that he saw all kind of red flags that made him confident that the lock's security was going to be terrible, and Stykas notes the same thing – but with different red flags.
He approached the lock from a different angle – the lock's app. And was immediately concerned that it didn't even use HTTPS. And so he dug around and found pretty quickly that it was trivial to manipulate other users' accounts from a different account.
Aside from being able to get at the lock itself, the security flaw enabled him to access the actual account information as well.
Amazingly, he approached the first flaw discoverer – Andrew Tierney/cybergibbons – and asked if he would share the email address he used for his account. Tierney agreed and within minutes, Stykas was not only able to add himself to Tierney's smart lock but was able to see his name and address.
New York Attorney General settles with Bluetooth lock maker over insecurity claimsREAD MORE
That's right, Tapplock is literally handing out all the information people need to not only access others' locks but where you can find them physically.
It's safe to say that Stykas was not impressed. "I really have no postmortem on this one," he noted. "The lock had several flaws and to my understanding they had a great marketing team but a non existent security team. I cannot tell you to buy or not buy anything as I don't have the authority to do so but I would not buy this lock."
Tapplock disabled the API exploited by Stykas to thwart further attempts to obtain strangers' information through it.
So those are two catastrophic software errors. What about the actual physical lock itself?
Aside from the nice-looking but shoddy aluminum alloy it is built out of – oh, and the lack of a decent physical step in the lock arm itself that all decent lock manufacturers add to prevent thieves from shimming it open – there is another pretty insane flaw in the lock: you can potentially unscrew the back off.Next page: And now... opening the back Page: Tips and corrections 214 Comments
