AOC Launches the Ultra-Slim Aire Black LED Monitor
AOC Launches the Ultra-Slim Aire Black LED Monitor
New addition to the AireLED Series includes 12.7 cm-thin monitors with embedded Screen+ Feature and DVI-D with HDCP input
Fremont, Calif. - February 23, 2011- AOC, the world's largest manufacturer of LCD/LED Monitors and HDTVs, reveals the Aire Black LED, a glossy piano-black monitor featuring one of the world's slimmest display panels. This new all-black addition to the popular AireLED Series offers bonus features like embedded Screen+ software that allows the user to divide the screen into four self-contained work areas. The Aire Black LED monitor comes in 20-inch (e2043Fk, $129), 22-inch (e2243Fwk, $149) and 23-inch (e2343Fk, $179) screen sizes, and is now available at national retailers including Best Buy, Radio Shack, Office Max, Fry's, TigerDirect/CompUSA and PC Richards, among others.
The sleek widescreen Aire Black LED Monitor is one of the slimmest display panels on the market at 12.7 cm throughout. The monitor also offers impressive image quality with a 50,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 5ms response time, and a DVI-D with HDCP input for the ultimate HD viewing experience. Along with being EPEAT Gold Certified for its green packaging and production, the Aire Black LED Monitor on average consumes only 15 watts of energy and includes an eSaver feature that lets the user preset power conservation modes for the display when the PC is not in use. The monitor's Power Saving Mode uses 50 percent less power, and Standby Mode uses only 0.1w.
"A clean and modern aesthetic coupled with amazing image quality have made the AireLED Series one of our most popular monitor lines for both business and home use," said Robert Velez, AOC Marketing Manager. "The Aire Black LED display reduces energy costs and offers incredible value, which is a trademark of the AOC brand and products."
The versatile Aire Black LED Monitor has a built-in VESA stand that locks into place so that the monitor can be used on a desktop and easily mounted on a wall by simply pushing a button and folding the stand at its tilt hinge. No assembly is required for the stand, making the monitor a helpful solution for businesses that require visual displays but have limited space. The monitor's easily accessible connections are located at the back of the stand, while its front features convenient LED touch controls for power and onscreen display.

It had been over a year since Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal had competed when he stepped into the Srikeforce cage on Saturday in Cincinnati to take on undefeated submission specialist Roger Gracie.
Gracie was looking to keep his undefeated record intact and Lawal hoped to bounce back from injury and suffering the first loss of his career, losing the Strikeforce light heavyweight title to Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante in August of 2010.
The fight started slow. Both were tentative. Lawal came out with his hands low. Gracie pumped his long jab, but that's about all that happened through the first three minutes of the bout.
Lawal kept his right hand loaded, waiting for the opportunity to unleash it, and that opportunity came in the final minute of the first round. Lawal landed an overhand right that put Gracie on his back. Lawal rushed in and finished with another punch that left Gracie unconscious on the canvas.
"The fight felt good," Lawal said following the win. "I underestimated him because I had my hands down and he was catching me with a few shots. He caught me with a good knee, but man, I'm a fighter man. It was a fight."
After the initial right hand that put Gracie down, Lawal wasn't sure how hurt Gracie actually was.
"I was worried. I wasn't sure if he was out or not, so I decided to come hit him with some street punches, some club punches or something," said Lawal.
When asked what is next, Lawal took the opportunity to request a rematch with Cavalcante.
"I wouldn't mind fighting Feijao again," he said. "I really want Feijao again. That's what's up."

6 Perfect Holiday Hotspots for You and Your Partner
Thanks to the boom in budget air travel and the increased accessibility to airports the continent over, jetting off somewhere sexy in Europe is now easier than ever.
Here we take a look at six perfect holiday hotspots for you and your partner.
Fun and romance is just around the corner.
- Paris
No list fit for couples searching for a euphoric European experience could ever be complete without first mentioning the French capital.
Paris, the City of Lights, breathes romance and adventure at every turn. Iconic, with cinematic architecture in all corners of the city, this place offers up options for all types of tastes and all kinds of budgets.
From exquisite Michelin starred restaurants to bohemian street cafés, art galleries like the epic Louvre by day to the infamous Moulin Rouge after dark, this place has something for everyone.
- Santorini
Now we venture a little further afield, to the far reaches of the Mediterranean and the spoils of the once great and glorious Greek empire.
Whether the people of old Greece knew about Santorini's stunning beaches and took it on themselves to lounge at its sumptuous swimming pools like we do in the present, one thing's for sure, this is a destination fit for the Gods.
The best way to live it up in Santorini? Spend the evening at a local taverna enjoying Greek Souvlaki, Moussaka or any of the many other mouth watering dishes this country has to offer, all while washing it down with a cold glass of white wine.
Trust us, your partner will thank you.
- Prague
Prague has many names; The city of spires. The crown of the world. To us, however, it's mainly just plain old Prague.
Yet there's nothing plain about this European wonder at all. Tread its ancient city walks and you'll see just how special, just how magisterial, this UNESCO-heritage designated European capital can be.
What's even better about this Czech wonder? The sheer value for money you'll get here. It's here you'll pay far less for top quality food and entertainment than you would in other global cities.
- Aix les Bains
If it's a spa experience you and your other half are after, you could do a lot worse than hide yourselves away in this southerly French destination.
In Aix les Bains it's you who gets to choose just how active or chilled you wish to take your trip. So aside from all the relaxation on offer you can move things a little higher tempo too. Activities like wakeboarding, boat tours and other water-orientated sports, means the chance to mix it up is always on the horizon.
Just as well that the natural surroundings are up to par too.
- London
Perhaps not the cheapest of destinations, there's no other European city that better defines the idea about great quality coming at great expense.
London, for its part, isn't so far off the spectrum for couples planning a romantic break or trip away for two though. From budget option hotels to free museums and plenty of open events, there's a wealth of things to see and do in the British capital and most of them don't command that much of a heavy price at all.
Jump on a tube or take a walk through one of the cities many parks. Spend time cruising quirky street stalls or the decadent shop floors that make up Harrods. London never fails to deliver.
- Bergen
An area of such outstanding beauty and wonder that it simply has to be seen to be believed, Bergen, known as the Gateway to the Fjords, is one heck of a recommendation to round this list off.
It's here you can see the aurora borealis (Northern Lights), a once in a lifetime experience that neither you, nor the lucky someone you have in tow, are ever likely to forget.
Bergen itself is also rammed with history and tradition. Stroll around the streets and check out the old wooden houses where people traditionally lived for centuries or visit the aquarium and encounter native penguins and seals.
This is the place to do all that and more. These hotspots have it all; love, romance, beauty and style. The only thing that awaits is you.
5 Things To See and Do in Ecuador
Ecuador. A gorgeous country on South America's west coast, boasting a huge range of sights for the budding tourist; from the Amazon Jungle, volcanic mountain ranges, and the Galapagos Islands, to beautiful basilicas and palaces from the 16th Century. Just Googling Ecuador shows that there is so much to see and do, but to save you the sensory overload, this article narrows down some of the best places for you to visit. The first set of places are nature and wildlife based, to quell the budding explorer inside you. The second set of places are all man-made, highlighting the beauty of the centuries old architecture that landscapes this beautiful country.
Cotopaxi Volcano
Cotopaxi, a volcano that has erupted more than 50 times since the early 1700s, is situated inside the province of Cotopaxi. It is part of the set of volcanoes nicknamed the 'Pacific Ring of Fire', and it's last eruption was in the August of 2015. The second highest summit in Ecuador is a fantastic one; the bright white of the peak and the typical blue skies of the region make for a beautiful holiday snap for back home.
If you're a tad more adventurous than I, Cotopaxi is a popular mountain to climb! With up to 100 climbers tackling the summit on weekends, you can see why climbing restrictions have been tightened as of 2012. Don't be put off, however, if you're not a seasoned climber; there are mountain guide companies that hire out their guides especially for tourists.
Cotopaxi has featured in art throughout time; in 1862, Frederic Edwin Church painted the volcano, in The Star by H. G. Wells, the volcano makes a feature, and American rock bank The Mars Volta have a song named after the mountain which you can listen to here.
Floreana Island
Named after the first president of Ecuador, Floreana Island is an island in the Galapagos Province. Dubbed as having 'the most interesting human history of all the Galapagos Islands' by galapagos.org, it is plain to see. It is home to the first postal office, established in 1793, and the first of the islands to be colonized by Ecuadorians. Interestingly, Floreana is also the site of several disappearances, the most notable being an Austrian baroness, who arrived on the island in the mid-1900s.
There are a few visitor sites on Floreana Island, the favourite being Cormorant Point. The highlight of the site is Flamingo Lagoon, where watching flamingos do their adorable thing is a must-see! Putting it into Google reveals the raw beauty of the place; rocky and sandy, and home to a host of flamingos (which stand out so strongly against the grey-blue waters). The Cormorant site has two beautiful beaches: the first being a green sand beach, made green by the olivine crystals, and the second being Flour Beach, made of pulverised coral. Flour Beach is a popular nesting ground for Green Sea Turtles, and many ray species swim through the shallow, shoreline waters. And if you're a horticulturalist, then you'll be pleased to hear that the point has a greater diversity than most areas on the Island.
Cajas National Park
Back to the mainland again, Cajas National Park is located in the province of Azuay. The word 'Cajas' takes root from the Quichua word 'cassa' meaning 'gateway to snowy mountains', which makes the gorgeous tundra landscape fit all the better. Alongside the natural world, there are twenty-eight established archaeological sites, Incan and Pre-Incan architecture, and a refuge hut, giving the park a feel of the best of both worlds.
The reason why Cajas National Park caught my eye was, ultimately, the animals that inhabit it. I imaged searched the park and, lo and behold, pictures of adorable alpacas came up- what other reason do you need to visit? Alongside alpacas, there are 44 mammalian species identified, including bats, pumas, foxes, and the Cajas Water Mouse (which is highly endangered). If mammals aren't your speed, the park is home to an abundance of avifauna (which is made up of 157 bird species), making bird watching a very popular past time. Furthermore, the lagoons are home to at least 17 species of amphibian, including toads and frogs of all different shapes, sizes, and colours. This also means that there are plenty of insects about- so pack that repellent!
Compañía de Jesús
One of the most well-known churches in Ecuador, the Compañía de Jesús resides in Quito. The church itself is mind-blowing; the Catholic Church uses icons to help aid in prayer, but never have I ever seen a place of worship so decked out in gold leaf and gilded plaster. It certainly is something to behold.
Throughout its history, several architects (some of whom doubled as priests) have worked on the Compañía de Jesús, with the first stone being laid in 1605, and the construction being completed in 1765. Mariana de Jesús de Paredes, the patron saint of Ecuador, chose Compañía de Jesús to be her home after being sanctified there in the 1600s. The church also became the headquarters of the Jesuit order, and a school in the 1700s. It has been recorded that, once the Jesuits were forced to leave, many historical tomes were lost, meaning that there is nowhere near as much information left on Compañía de Jesús.
Today, Quito's old district run tours especially for those travelling to the capital city of Ecuador. The tours are immensely popular and include Compañía de Jesús, as well as many other quaint and beautiful sights. They're highly recommended, and are incredibly reasonably priced. If you're saving your money, or just feel like it, you can always grab a street map of Quinto, and take a leisurely stroll around the beautiful city without a tour guide. Either way, you are sure to see some stunning sights, take in the sounds of a city, and smell the street food stalls, bound to draw you off route.
The Ecuador National Museum of Medicine
Staying in Quito, now, this museum caught my interest. Everywhere has that one museum: it's got art, it's got history, it's got natural history, it's got war history, it's got an overpriced gift shop. These museums are so standard and uniform in that there are hundreds like them- they're typical, still interesting, yes, but why visit one of those museums when you could visit a museum soaked in the rich history of the place you're visiting? So medicine may not be for the faint-hearted, but this museum spans hundreds of years, up until the 19th Century, so not only are you getting a feel for the South American medicine scene, but also the development of it. As a brit, I know that our medicine was definitely lacking up until the Victorian era- wouldn't it be so fascinating to see how the Ecuadorian's handled health and wellbeing, and if they had any sense to it? (Or didn't, like us. I mean, cavemen used to drill holes in people's heads to relieve headaches- I haven't got high hopes for old medicine.)
The history of the museum is nearly as interesting as the subject of it. Dr Eduardo Estrella founded it in March 1982, who studied medicine in Ecuador. His goal was to show the world a fuller history of the native and natural medicines of South America, and to help preserve the heritage of the country. I couldn't think of a better museum, honestly. There's one thing enjoying the delicious street food, and laughing with locals over a pint, but immersing yourself in the culture of a country will really add depth and knowledge to your stay. Appreciating the culture on a deeper level helps everyone, not just you!
And there we have it, my top five places to visit in Ecuador. All these places captivated me in some way. Whether it will be the views, the anecdotes, or the history, I hope they capture you in some way too. Happy holiday!
Cruise Connection – Getting Online while at Sea
It's no secret nowadays that an increasing amount of travellers will be packing some kind of smartphone, tablet or laptop in amongst their sunscreen and shades. Alongside this comes the requirement to provide internet access and cell phone reception from all corners of the globe where possible – not just on land.
With cruises becoming more and more popular with a variety of different travellers, having online access available to patrons is becoming a necessity while on board the ship as well. Over time, more cruise liners have been joining the ranks among those who offer the services aboard their ships.
All Liners are not Connected Equal
Although there are a fair few liners that are now offering connection to the internet and cell service aboard, the speed, efficiency and quality can vary dramatically from liner to liner. The availability of the technology may depend entirely on where the liner normally makes its home port, and so it may have significantly older internet and cell technology than those liners that originate in more developed ports.
The Pricing Factor
Of course, internet on board a cruise ship is a fairly expensive feat to tackle, and the company needs to both draw the line and recoup the costs somewhere. The pricing put in place can also vary dramatically from liner to liner, depending on the technology available and what the company itself has invested in making the connection a possibility. Prices can be as low as a few pence per minute all the way up to dollars. Occasionally internet packages can be purchased, which works out to be better value.
Satellite Reliability
Of course, there isn't any modem on the face of the planet that can provide wired or wireless internet from more than several feet away. This makes the internet solutions on board a moving vessel – especially one that heads off into relatively remote locales – rather limited. The one solution that is often employed is the use of satellite internet. The upside is internet on the go, from almost anywhere. The downside is slow speeds, and shadier reliability than the trusted land based internet options.
Workaround the Down Time
If you are searching for higher speeds, but keep struggling, there are workarounds that you can try out while on the ship to take advantage of lulls in the usage, such as late at night or while most passengers are on excursions. This may increase the speeds you experience, making it easier to connect. Additionally, most cruise liners piggyback off land based internet if it's available when near land, so your connection may be better during times you're sailing by shore. Unfortunately though, liners will just never have the same connection as land, so be prepared for slower speeds.
So in all, internet while on a cruise is definitely not out of the question. Cruise liners are all catching up to the expectations of patrons to be able to access internet from anywhere, anytime, and so they have added this additional customer service point to their repertoires. So now you can kick back, relax and take in the sights, without having to worry about being disconnected.
Top Things To See and Do in Peru
With the great British unpredictable weather bathing us in glorious sunshine one moment and pelting us with torrential downpours the next, one can't help but consider jetting off somewhere beautiful, this year.
If you're into breath-taking views, desert oases, and a country as historically interesting as it is visually stunning, Peru could be the ideal place for you.
Here are some of the best things to experience whilst enjoying your getaway in Peru.
Take a Hike
Hiking isn't for everyone, however I'm certain that witnessing the Colca Canyon's divine scenery will be something you will not want to miss. Colca Canyon is twice as deep as the American Grand Canyon and, as keen bird watchers will tell you, it is one of the rare homes of the Andean Condor, which has the largest wingspan of any land bird (3.2 metres) as well as other rather spectacular local wildlife.
Both trekking and sightseeing tours can be booked from the close-by city of Arequipa. Tours will take you through dizzying altitudes, as well as the volcano country (don't worry, it's perfectly safe) before the descent reveals the lush, abundant Colca Valley below.
Come Fly With Me
By all accounts, flying over the Nazca Lines is quite an experience. The Lines are ancient Geoglyphs depicting a range of images, from geometric patterns to outlines of animals.
There are a great many theories as to how and why the Geoglyphs were created, however the Nazca Lines remain shrouded in mystery. When viewed from the air, one can't help but be overcome with awe and wonder at these beautiful and peculiar markings.
Pyramid Schemes
Any conversation about Peru just wouldn't be the same without mentioning the lost city of the Incas – Machu Picchu. It is, of course, a very well documented and photographed destination, but however many photos and films you see, the magic of the pyramids with their many steps simply cannot be captured on film.
Discovered in 1911 by American historian Hiram Bingham, Machu Picchu remains one of the most visited holiday destinations. It can be a bit of a trek to get to, along the Inca trail, but experiencing the spectacular views, as well as the aura of ancient history, is definitely worth it.
Rock the Float
Lake Titicaca's floating islands are famed the world over. The indigenous Uros tribe, whom call the islands home, in fact pre-date the Incas.
It is advisable to book a tour around the islands and allow the local guides to impart their great and interesting knowledge of this wondrous historical landmark.
Making Memories
These are by no means the only attractions that Peru has to offer. Cities such as Lima boast great food, museums and fantastic hospitality. There are also quaint mountain villages, beautiful beaches, as well as access to explore the Amazon rainforest, to name but a few.
Whatever you look for in a holiday destination – whether it be fun in the sun, interesting tours to build your knowledge, or rest and relaxation – Peru has it. Why not start planning your adventure today?
Why Anti-Depressants Shouldn't Be Taboo (If You Need Them)
What is depression?
Depression is commonly explained as low or feeling unwell. These two terms do help explain some aspects of it and in today's society; we the people are beginning to understand in many more ways by visualisation of the 'black dog' or a shadow which can follow you all your life. Online google refers to depression as 'feelings of severe despondency and dejection'. I actually prefer this extract to dumbing down my emotions to 'low' or 'unwell'. For example a cold makes me unwell but only for a few days. Depression is more of a long term condition and cannot be explained with just a few words. The best definition I have found is thinking of a shadow or black dog, some people may think because they cried once upon a time that they understand this black beast which never leaves. The shadow follows you, undermines your desires and even to some extremes prevents people from living a full life. So next time you meet someone with depression just imagine that time you cried for a few days and then try to grasp that to be diagnosed you must have done that for at least a few months. It is exhausting emotionally and physically and widely recognised in the world as a mental health issue. The way I like to think about it is if you broke your leg a cast and some physiotherapy over a period of time can solve the matter, and of course a few painkillers. It is the same with your mind except there is no physical cast, in other words no one knows about the suffering which comes alongside depression only that one person experiencing it.
The anti-depressants work as a basic cast for the mind as well as providing pain relief. The most important part is therapy to be offered where appropriate like 'physiotherapy', in the world today its called 'counselling'.
Why and how can pills treat it?
Your brains are all a complex thing, a balance of electrical impulse and chemicals. The chemicals in your brain are called neurotransmitters, these useful chemicals carry signals through the brain.
They are used up by emotions or mood, feeling depressed uses heavy copious amounts of these various chemicals. The pills or Anti-depressants prescribed to you work by limiting the chemicals in different ways thus rebalancing the rationale, mood, and thought process of the brain.
Anti-depressants are essential in any recovery process from most forms of depression, however they are still sometimes misused, it is just a matter of finding the 'Right' one for each person.
Explaining common uses
Anti-Depressants are in common use in the UK and worldwide. I hated statistics at university and school but they show surprising results:
{see source for statistics}
- Mixed anxiety & depression is the most common mental disorder in Britain, with 9% of people meeting criteria for diagnosis.1
- 4-10% of people in England will experience depression in their lifetime.2
- Common mental health problems such as depression and anxiety are distributed according to a gradient of economic disadvantage across society. The poorer and more disadvantaged are disproportionately affected by common mental health problems and their adverse consequences.3
Though the percentages are lower than commonly accepted, a diagnosis is hard to gain in mental health. As mentioned before we are not yet able to read minds therefore this entails a lot of issues in diagnosis and treatment. Anti-depressants need to be far less Taboo, too many sufferers are in fear of judgement or the common misconception that dependency is inevitable. The medication plays a very important role in finding a stable state to begin therapy such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) or Occupational Therapy (Finding something you enjoy spending your time doing) and finding the individuals own coping strategy. Exercise, Routine, a balanced tasty diet and of course fun are essential in life, the role of the Anti-depressant is simply to help stabilise the mind-scape before slowly rebuilding it. Working in close connection with doctors and Mental health teams enables a speedy recovery more often than not anti-depressants are used in short term and various counselling techniques instil stability in the long term. Each recovery path will soon be tailor made as some people have heard new techniques involving blood tests are in trial to find the best medication for each individual person. After this step it is just a matter of finding appropriate therapy and recovery is well under-way. The fact is that to combat the issue we need to talk about Depression and anxiety and accept that it is not shameful but Honourable to deal with issues rather than hide them. We need to understand medication is not always suiting it can be changed and talking about our experiences helps derive new solutions and develop old ones. So together lets desensitise and spread the word Anti-Depressant across social media; between your family and friends; if you take them yourself keep your doctors in the loop; then one day we can all talk more openly with freedom from judgement and fear. This is the way the doctors decide dosage and eventually patients leaving the medication behind them in their life path. Alongside doctors, friends, family and therapists independence is always possible.

Five Fabulous Dishes To Try In Spain
Spain is an energetic and vibrant country, ranging from lush tropics to arid desert. From cities that are a nexus of culture (Madrid, Barcelona, Seville) to snoozing, picturesque and whitewashed coastal towns that are either time capsules of Iberian past or thriving knots of tourism, home to other Europeans seeking the constant kiss of peninsula sun. Every nation in Europe has a unique identity and Spain is no exception. With a warm climate and a close to Africa at its southern tip, via Gibraltar, Spain has seen an influx of various influences ranging from the Romans to the Moors. Subsequently that influence from both north in Europe and south in Africa has spread globally during the age of European colonisation, so Spanish culture has left an indelible mark on our planet. So if you ever find yourself in the varied tapas menu of the Spanish nation, discover these five Iberian delicacies:
- Gazpacho:
No holiday to Spain would be complete without giving this refreshing soup a try. Served chilled, it is a cool mixture of tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, bread, peppers and cucumber. It is often a regular feature of tapas bars and features strongly amid local cuisine in the autonomous desert region of Andalucía, regularly gracing such bars in jugs for frequent pouring into bowls or glasses. Salmorejo is a thicker version served in Cordoba, often finished off with pieces of Iberico ham on top.
- Pulpo a la Gallega (Galician octopus):
With close to 5,000 kilometers of coastline both on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, fishing bolsters the Spanish economy and seafood is a linchpin of the Spanish diet. With a plethora of morsels from the deep to select from, why not opt for a little more adventure and a culinary fiesta? Pulpo a la Gallega, or octopus, provides just such a challenge! Flavored with paprika, the tentacle dish has its origins in the 19th century when muleteers (mule drivers) brought octopi to fry them up at cattle fairs. Pulpo a la Gallega is ideal when served on a rustic wooden plate in a traditional Spanish pulperia, or octopus restaurant. Worth a look too is the Octopus Festival held in August in O Carballino, Ourense.
- Queso Manchego:
Usually eaten together with Jamon Serrano or Iberico ham, manchego cheese originates from the La Mancha region and is made from ewe's milk. The buttery taste of this cheese is a wonderful compliment to offset the smoked saltiness of the Serrano or Iberico hams and would work as a great local snack.
- Leche Frita (Fried Milk):
For those of you with a sweet tooth and for ones with a penchant for ferreting out the more unique of treats, then seek out Leche Frita, or Fried Milk. A hard milk centre is coated by flour and sugar, glossed over with a sprinkling of cinnamon. Cool on the inside and hot and crunchy outside. In addition to this is the Crema Catalana, essentially an Iberian take on the French Crème Brulee, often flavoured with some citrus zest or cinnamon.
- Turron:
Considered a seasonal dish eaten by the Spanish around Christmas, Turron is in fact enjoyed and is available throughout the nation all year round. Hailing from the town of Jijona in Alicante, the sweet dish is made with locally sourced almonds. Turron is made with almonds, honey and egg white and comes in the soft Jijona or hard Alicante varieties, the latter of which is served with pieces of almond.
So these are five dishes that a traveller to Spain should try – aside from the more obvious paella, tapas and sangria. Each meal offers you a rare glimpse into the food that has shaped and remains a staple of the Spanish peninsula and its peoples, allowing you get to the stomach and digest the bread and meat of the rich and deeply historic Spanish land.
Fashion Tips For Expecting Mothers
Pregnancy is an exciting, worrying, fantastic, tiring and generally confusing time in a woman's life. As your body shape changes you find yourself unsure of not only what will fit, but whether you want to wear it in the first place! Here are a few easy ways to dress for success with a baby bump.
Know your shape
Your body does change when you are pregnant, but not that much! Think about variations on styles that you you already like but don't be afraid to look around and try something different. You may find that your new curves let you rock a dress you might have avoided before. You will soon see that it's not a one size fits all process, what looked amazing on your pregnant best friend won't automatically work for you.
What lies beneath
You will need to have regular bra fittings during your pregnancy – your chest size is definitely going to change. Keep yourself well supported and you are halfway to a great look. It's also a lovely confidence boost; even if you're not feeling slinky on the outside some good underwear in soft, breathable fabrics can keep a spring in your step.
Go back to basics
There are a few pieces you will definitely want to invest in like maternity jeans, a pencil skirt, and some tailored trousers with an expandable waistline. These things are practically a godsend and can be easily dressed up and down without spending a fortune.
Block colours are your friend
If you keep it simple and stick to simple, block colours you can streamline your look and draw attention from bits you're feeling unhappy with. Accessorise as much as you like with scarves and necklaces which draw the eyes up towards your face.
Maxis are made for mums
A stylish maxi dress can be a godsend for a day when you don't have the time or energy but need to look fantastic. It creates sleek lines down the body and makes your lovely bump a part of the outfit in an accessible but stylish way.
Find your love for flats
This one in an easy choice; heels just won't give you the support you need as your pregnancy progresses. But there's no need to look like your grandmother just yet; fashion in flats has come a long way! Choose a few pairs in leather that will give you maximum comfort but in vibrant colours such as green or red. Add a bit of cheeky detail with some sparkle or buckles to keep things fashionable.
As you move through your pregnancy you will find it gets easier to find things you feel comfortable in. And with these easy tips that doesn't mean you need to back off from your usual style; just adapt and let your look grow with you as your little one does. Remember, you will probably still be in your favourite maternity wear for a little while after baby arrives so invest in a few pieces you really like and you will really reap the benefits.
What Everyone with PPI Needs To Know About The Time Limit For Claiming
Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) was mis-sold to millions of people that took on financial products over the last ten years; but there's a huge pool of money waiting to be reclaimed, and the sooner the better.
There's currently no time limit on claims, it's just that companies only have an obligation to keep your paperwork for six years so after that you would need to have a paperwork trail to prove how much you paid. However, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is planning to change that system; introducing a two year deadline for staking a claim.
This is following pressure from banks and considerable publicity of PPI refunds in recent years to let people know they could be eligible to claim. The FCA also notes it has fined a number of banks and lenders for not efficiently handling PPI mis-selling complaints. It is hoped the deadline will encourage more people to apply direclty to lenders for refunds instead of using third part claims agents, and generally clean up the claims process.
The two year timer would come into play once the rules are in place, meaning consumers would have until at least 2018 to complain about PPI products the think they were mis-sold. As part of the update to the guidelines some customers would also be able to claim for commission they were charged when mis-sold PPI, but only if it was above 50%.
However, the suggestion of this limit has brought cries of complaint from consumer organisations who believe that this sets little advantage in banks paying out on legitimate claims quickly and could lead to a rise in nuisance calls from banks hawking for business from potential victims of PPI mis-selling. It is also suggested that putting the ball in the court of the consumer to claim quickly, when they may not know they have the right to claim is not effective consumer protection.
Under the current system around a third of PPI claims are being handled by claims management companies, who charge a fee for their services. And at the same time, around two-thirds of all complaints to the Financial Ombudsman are about PPI. It seems clear that the currently process isn't very fair or consumer-friendly. As such, leading organisation Which is calling for simpler claiming processes; tighter regulation on claims management companies and more information on how many claims have been successful so far.
The announcement from FCA is good for the banking industry who have been feeling the pain of PPI refunds for many years; and there was a small increase in banking stocks as a result. A consultation paper on the suggested changes will be published before the end of the year to gather feedback from the banks and lenders involved.

This is more than an online store although it does stock a fantastic range of hair accessories. I was very pleased with mine. They are not the cheapest but they are lovely and very good quality. The personal service provided by Melissa is second to none. When you register you fill in few details about your hair - length, thickness etc. I placed my first order and Melissa contacted me to advise that they may not be the best products for my hair and made some recommendations. These turned out to be perfect. I was really impressed by the trouble Melissa took to make sure I was happy with my order. I would highly recommend this site.

If an employee threw trash all over the office floor, scratched the paint off the walls, broke the light bulbs, left holes and dents in the wallboard, and skipped routine maintenance on the copier until it overheated and broke, no manager would tolerate this abuse.

Below you'll find a series of fan-curated Game of Thrones playlists courtesy of the social jukebox Rdio. Whether your favorite character is Jon Snow or Tyrion Lannister, Rdio has you covered. Even King Joffrey's fans get some love here, with a playlist that features the song "King of Pain" by the Police over and over again.

33 Movie Sex Scenes To Watch With Bae
Sex scenes, we've seen a few. The first times that seldom bear resemblance to anyone's real first time. The quick-my-wife-is-out-of-town humpfests that turn us on and off at the same time. The perfect lighting and unrealistic, synchronized orgasms. They make it all look so easy, don't they? Not that we're complaining. A ...

Lucky punch, steroids, No S&C, foot stomping...
Anymore excuses?
As entertaining as it is why not quit with the excuses and just give Marquez his due? I'm sure if Pac-boy can give props, others can too and can stop scraping the barrel.

I don't mind Pacquaio, its his retarded fanbase that put me off supporting him. On the whole they're just seriously embarrassing.

Dont respond to this troll. If he knew anything, he'd know that when a lefty fights a righty this is inevitable, not to mentioned the fact that Pac rushed into Marquez.

He was stepping outside of the foot It's in every gif. Also You should then go see Manny's first Knockdown of Juan, same deal. You would assume someone who watched boxing and understand the difficulties of foot when a south paw fight's an orthodox fighter.
This thread is such a reach you should be banned for being so ignorant.

TS - "I have never watched a non-manny pacquiao fight"
At least not with any southpaws in them.
Because southpaws step on orthodox fighter's feet and vice versa ALL THE TIME. It's the same reason they clash heads and the same reason they're so damn awkward to fight. In fact, footstepping happens way more often than clashes of heads because of the way a southpaw and orthodox fighter jostle for position.
Do you understand the concept of keeping the lead foot on the outside? When you're constantly trying to step an inch to the right or left of someone who's trying to do the same to you while also punching you, you're not that worried about stepping on each other's toes.
If you happen to step on someone's toe and crack them in the fuckin jaw, lay them out unconscious and completely obliterate their home country's collective life, so be it. That's boxing.

ATLANTA — Christian singer Francesca Battistelli won artist of the year at the 42nd annual Dove Awards held in Atlanta for the first time.
Battistelli also went home with two other awards. She won for best female vocalist and pop-contemporary recorded song. The awards show for gospel and Christian music left Nashville, Tenn., for the first time in its history.
The show seemed to fit in its new location.
Fans also voted for new artist of the year winner Chris August, who won best male vocalist.
Singer Jason Crabb and all-female trio Point of Grace joined Battistelli to claim three Doves apiece.
The awards show will air Easter Sunday, on GMC — formerly known as the Gospel Music Channel.

The meat reform group Meat Industry Excellence (MIE) is demanding farmers vote at the director elections for the meat processing and exporting co-operatives Silver Fern Farms and the Alliance Group.
Voters have been slow to participate in previous elections with turnouts averaging 22 per cent. MIE chairman John McCarthy said the turnout was akin to a vote of no confidence and an indictment on the red meat sector and co-operative principle.
"Farmer engagement is a key to strong co-operatives, and we shouldn't accept such low levels of voting and shareholder participation."
MIE supports a resolution by shareholders Mark Patterson and Dr Mandy Bell calling on the Alliance board to appoint dairy and beef farmer John Monaghan, a Fonterra director, as an independent director.
Furthermore, former MIE leaders Richard Young and Dan Jex-Blake are standing as director candidates for the SFF board. Incumbent SFF director David Shaw is seeking re- election.
Another farmer with MIE links, Don Morrison, is contesting seats on the Alliance board.

'We want a bigger home for our TEN kids (and pet python)': Couple on £32,000 a year in benefits demand larger council home for their growing family
- Father-of-nine Lee Miller has worked for just nine months of his adult life
- He had his benefits cut because he does not apply for enough jobs
- His family want to swap three-bed home for a five-bedroom property
- Their squalid three-bedroom property is filled with damp
- Five children share one bedroom and they suffer from respiratory problems because of the mould
- Family have three televisions, Sky Plus HD, a Playstation 3 and an Nintendo Wii in their cramped property
An unemployed couple with nine children who claim £32,000 a year in benefits are demanding a bigger council house - because they are expecting their 10th child.
Jobless Lee Miller and Natalie Cann - who have a pet python - want their local authority to swap their three-bedroom property for a five-bedroom home before their latest child arrives.
The couple currently live in 'cramped and appalling' conditions in Bournemouth, Dorset, with their five sons and four daughters.
Their 10th child is due in five months and they are suggesting they withhold £253 of taxpayers' money they contribute to their monthly rent if they are not rehoused.
Bigger house: Natalie Cann and Lee Miller are demanding a bigger council
property for their nine children. They have a 10th one on the way. Their children are Ayesha, 13, Danny, 12, Jamie, 10, Dean, nine, Luke, seven, Leon, four, Karleigh, three, Mercedes, one and Brooke, 10 months
Benefits family: Mr Miller says he would 'rob rich people' to pay the bills and provide for his nine children
Snake: Mr Miller with his daughter Karleigh, aged three, may not be able to afford the cage for his family's pet python without the government's financial support
Struggling: The jobless father-of-nine claims he only has £60 for his family to live off at the end of the week
Mr Miller, 40, has worked for just nine months in his entire adult life and had his Jobseeker's Allowance cut recently because he was not applying for enough jobs.
Despite having such a crowded home, the family have managed to squeeze three televisions.
They have a 50inch LG flatscreen TV in their living room, complete with a Sky Plus HD box and a Playstation 3 console.
Upstairs, both the childrens' bedrooms have televisions - with the 27 inch Sharp flatscreen in the girls' room accompanied by a Nintendo Wii console and a DVD player.
He claims he has emphysema which causes shortness of breath - although he regularly smokes roll-ups and is not registered as disabled.
Huge television: The father-of-nine wants to be able to provide for his children, who have a huge 50 inch LG flatscreen television and a Sky Plus HD box in their living room, and Playstation 3 console to keep them entertained
Large television: Karleigh, three, is pictured in the bedroom she shares with her two sisters, which has a 27-inch Sharp television, a DVD player and an Nintendo Wii
He said: 'I'm objecting to paying towards the rent when we're living like this. I would be happy to pay if we had four bedrooms.
'And I don't want to be on benefits and claim it all. I'm quite happy to work.
'After I was diagnosed with emphysema I tried to get disability living allowance [but] was refused.
was advised to get off income support benefits and go onto jobseekers,
but this meant I couldn't do the jobs they were suggesting like cleaning
as my health was too bad.
am much better off working outside and I really like working with cars,
so I asked about them helping me with some training or courses in that
'They said there was nothing they could do so I made a complaint, and to do that I had to sign off Jobseekers.
'Since then I've not signed back on and I am buying a van off a friend so I can work self-employed as a recovery driver.'
Mr Miller said: 'I am dying to get into the job I want, even though no job will ever pay as much as what we get on benefits.'
When the couple moved into their existing housing association home in Bournemouth, Dorset, eight years ago they already had daughter Ayesha, 13, and sons Danny, 12, and Jamie, 10, and Dean, now age nine, on the way.
Squalid property: Mr Miller is pictured here holding Mercedes, aged 22 months in a bedroom that is filled with damp. The conditions have caused the children respiratory problems
Big family: Ayesha, 13, shares a bedroom with her two sisters Karleigh, aged three, and Mercedes, 22 months
Despite being restricted on space, they went on to have Luke, seven, Leon, four, Karleigh, three, Mercedes, one, and Brooke, 10 months.
The five boys share a room with three sleeping in the same bed and 13-year-old Ayesha, the oldest sibling, has to share her room with Mercedes and Karleigh.
Miss Cann, 33, said: 'This place is too small. I've not had this many children purposefully to have a big house. We did not plan it.
'I was adopted and never had any brothers or sisters and Lee is from a big family. Some people might judge us but people can think what they like, I don't really care to be honest.
'I know what people think, they think we put ourselves in this situation.
Luxury: Their house has the latest gadgets, including a 50in plasma TV, Sky HD+ and broadband, video consoles, an iPad and a brand new American-style fridge
Expensive: There is a new Hotpoint washing machine which fits two loads in at once, and there is a tumble-dryer alongside
Large family: Karleigh, 3, stands in front of the family's washing machine and dryer in their home in Bournemouth, Dorset
'People admire the way we look after our children, they are always in school, they are always well dressed, I've never had a complaint.
'Lee really wants to work but he needs to do something outside because he has emphysema and it will help his lungs.'
The couple receive £127 per week in Child Benefit and £482 per week in child tax credits, totalling £31,668 a year.
They also currently receive a discretionary £200 monthly payment towards their housing association rent, though this is expected to end after six weeks.
This means they presently pay £253 in rent themselves. Mr Miller and Miss Cann pay £30 per month in council tax.
Garden: Mr Miller may need more state hand-outs to improve his garden, which currently has an over-grown lawn and an abandoned fridge
Poor living conditions: Mr Miller with his daughter Karleigh, aged three, in the bathroom, where the walls and ceilings have gone black because of the damp
Grim: More damp is seen in the downstairs toilet of the family home in Bournemouth, Dorset
Grim: Damp on the ceiling in the bathroom of the family home. Lee Miller and Natalie Cann are demanding a bigger property for their nine children
They spend around £190 a week on food - which consists of £60 on frozen foods in Iceland and £130 in Asda.
Their kitchen boasts a luxury American-style Hotpoint fridge freezer that the couple are paying £12 a week for.
There is also a brand new Hotpoint washing machine that can wash two loads of clothes at once as well as a new Hotpoint tumble dryer.
As a teenager Mr Miller had a job at a garage but, apart from nine months of work in a car yard in 2001, he has not been in employment since the age of 17.
He says he is planning on starting his own car recovery and pick-up business.
The local social services department and the family's midwife are urging Bournemouth Borough Council to rehouse the couple for the welfare of their children.
They say their house has signs of damp and mould and the conditions are 'appalling' for the family.
Brothers: The five boys who share a bedroom are Danny, 12, (top bunk), then from left to right Jamie, 10, Dean, nine, Luke, seven, and Leon, aged four
Cramped conditions: Danny, 12, Jamie, 10, Dean, nine, Luke, seven, and Leon, four, share a bedroom
Benefits family: Karleigh, aged three, her mother Natalie, with Brooke, and father Lee with Mercedes in the parents' bedroom
Bournemouth Council has moved them to the 'Gold' category on the housing waiting list, which is the highest position possible based on priority.
But David Clutterbuck, a local resident and former Conservative councillor, branded the parents as 'irresponsible' for having nine children.
He said: 'There's two ways of looking at this. You can say you are sorry for the children
'But the other way is to say he has not been working and I don't think the taxpayers should have to pay.
'I don't want to upset the children and they should come first but why should the taxpayer have to pay?
'If he doesn't work it's just terrible. I think it's completely irresponsible having so many children when they can't afford it. It is a picture of modern society.'
Kate Parker, of the homeless charity Shelter, called on Bournemouth council to make sure it is 'following its obligations'
She said: 'The statutory definition of homelessness includes severe overcrowding.
'If they are homeless because of overcrowding then the council has a responsibility to provide suitable accommodation.'
The family are (from back, left to right) Mercedes, aged 22 months, Ayesha, 13, mother Natalie Cann, 33, holding Brooke, 10 and father Lee Miller holding Karleigh, aged three. The boys in front are Danny, 12, (in the Man Utd shirt) Jamie, 10, Dean, nine, and in front Luke, seven, and Leon, four
Large home: The family, who live in a three-bedroom semi-detached home in Bournemouth want the council to find them a five-bedroom property
In a letter to housing chiefs at the council, their colleague in the social services department said the case of Mr Miller and Miss Cann was urgent.
It states that 'overcrowding in the home is causing the family difficulties' which are 'impacting upon the children's education, health and wellbeing.'
Their midwife has also provided a letter supporting the family's wish to move, stating how she is 'appalled by the cramped conditions and severe overcrowding'.
She said the house was damp with mould that is causing respiratory problems for the children, which requires treatment.
Kelly Ansell, Bournemouth council's strategic housing service project manager, said: 'The family have gold band priority, our highest band, which means that they are in an excellent position on our housing waiting list.
'However, they require larger family accommodation which is in short supply and carries with it a long wait even for those with high priority.
'They are currently being advised by our team with regard to their situation and we will continue to advise and support the family to secure the right accommodation for their needs.'
A spokesman for housing association Radian, which owns the current property, said they would investigate the reports of damp and mould.
Expectant mother: Mother-of-nine Natalie, who is holding Brooke, aged 10 months, is expecting her 10th child in five months time
