Precision Engineers Insurance
Precision Engineers Insurance policies are flexible policies designed specifically for precision engineers and cover a wide range of needs.
As the policy is flexible, you can select individual covers such as machinery (e.g. cnc machines, etc.), stock, buildings, contents, public and product liability, employers' liability, goods in transit, business interruption, loss of book debts, and money.
You can also extend your policy to include optional 'add on' covers such as commercial legal expenses cover and directors and officers management liability cover.
The typical perils covered under this type of policy for material damage include fire, theft, storm, flood, escape of water, riot/civil commotion, and impact, however many of our insurers provide cover on a more comprehensive 'Commercial All Risks' basis which also includes accidental loss of or damage to property.
In respect of public liability, the standard limits are £1M, £2M and £5M limits of indemnity. If you have employees, employers' liability can be included with a standard £10M limit of indemnity to cover your legal liability in the event an injury during the course of their work. Machine operators can be particularly vulnerable to injury, however, they can be easily covered under the employers' liability section of the policy.
Products liability is particularly important for precision engineers and covers your legal liability for injury or damage to property caused by the products that you have made and supplied. Products liability limits tend to follow the public liability limits of £1M, £2M and £5M, although higher limits are available if required.
Our insurers will usually offer further discounts for good risk management features, such as machinery guards, personal protective equipment such as ear defenders, staff training, risk assessments, method statements, etc.

Umeshu Sushi & Bar @ Shah Alam
If you crave for Japanese food, why not give Umeshu Sushi & Bar a try! Fresh from its opening a few months ago, Umeshu Sushi & Bar located at Glenmarie Industrial Park, Shah Alam, serves affordable Japanese cuisine. How affordable? How about the super value set meals for breakfast and lunch, priced from RM6 onward.
The ambiance is pretty simply and minimal in décor. The illumination came from the glass panel door which allow abundance of sunlight and the hanging ball shape lighting that created a comfy vibe for dining. There are common wooden tables and chair and semi-partitioned booth seats as well as a private tatami room that can accommodate 10-12 persons.
Our dinner kick started with a few appetizers.
Soba Avocado Salad
Cold buckwheat noodle, cucumber, lettuce, avocado, corn and Aburaage tossed in homemade goma dressing. Flavor was light and refreshing with multitude of textures.
Salmon Avocado Salad
Chunks of salmon, avocado and onion coated in creamy tangy dressing, simply stimulated our appetite for more dishes.
Jikasei Niku Miso Hiyayakko
Cold tofu served with savory minced meat miso sauce and the flavors was further enhanced with onions and spring onions.
Kamameshi (釜飯) is one of the special item at Umeshu. Literally translates to "kettle rice" , is a traditional Japanese rice dish cooked in an iron pot.
Unagi Kamameshi
The cooking time of 15-20 minutes was worth waiting as once the lid was removed, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking aroma of Teriyaki glazed eel. Hiding underneath was well flavoured rice cooked with stock studded with Aburaage, shimeji mushroom topped with wasabi and shredded seaweed.
Gomoku Kamameshi
Another rendition was full of ocean flavors, loaded with bounteous of salmon chunks, scallops, prawns and Tobiko. Have a good mix of all the ingredients and the rice, every mouthful tasted wonderfully tasty with bursting flavors.
Umeshu's menu is rather extensive and the sushi and maki rolls contributed a major section and we've tried a few of them.
Assorted Irodori
Umeshu Special Fried Salmon Roll
This was special with crisp outer rice layer that gives the salmon roll a nice crunch.
Aburi Salmon Sushi
The generous cut of Salmon was lightly torched rendering a pleasant smoky flavor, crowned with dollop of mayonnaise and Salmon roe.
Tempura Moriawase
A basket of adeptly fried vegetables and prawn tempura, crispy and no traces of oil served with homemade tempura sauce.
Salmon Kobuto Teriyaki
Slathered with sweet Teriyaki sauce, the Salmon head was quite meaty and I like it with a squeeze of lemon juice for that extra zing.
Yakitori Squid
Grilled with minimal seasoning to retain the natural sweetness of the seafood.
Teppan Gyu Steak
Served sizzling hot on an iron plate, I never expect such a delicious steak dish can be found in a Japanese restaurant!
Cooked in a perfect doneness of medium rare, the steak served with their homemade black pepper garlic sauce was achingly tender. While the main star was spot on, the supporting cast of mashed potato deserves an additional clap too for its extremely buttery flavors.
Ishiyoki Curry Udon
Everyone was attracted to the delightful aroma of the curry that wafted to our table even before the dish was place on it. Thick, creamy and spicy, yes spicy which is much different with the usual sweet Japanese curry won likes from us because the spiciness level really welcomed by Malaysian taste buds.
Ishiyaki Salmon Tobiko
Served in a hot stone bowl, the rice was topped with Salmon fillet, Tobiko, raw egg, spring onions and peppery sauce. Have a good mix of everything and enjoy the absolutely soul and tummy satisfying combo.
Seasonal Pan Fried Salmon Bone
A hidden dish which is not in the menu. Stir fried Salmon bones with assorted vegetables which is spicy, robust and full of flavors!
Bavaria Pomegranate / Bavaria Peach
Interesting alcohol-free Bavaria malt drink imported from Holland with refreshing fruity notes.
CHOYA Umeshu Japanese Plum Wine

Why is it, you can have the busiest, most flat out day with the kids. You don't get to sit down to eat your lunch, toast on the run. You pee whilst texting someone to save time. You don't even check the mirror once before leaving the house. You literally run from school, to shops, to school to play-date to home to bath and bedtime. Running. Then you just sit down in front of the tv and hubby walks in. Hard day? he asks sarcastically. Sometimes I think he lays in wait outside the house to see me sit down so he can walk in and say that! Grrrrrrrrr
3 thoughts on "Hard Day?"
LOL, I wrote this post and it wasn't meant as a dig to my husband in the least! It simply meant that I am flat out all day and then when he walks in it appears that I've been sat down all day. Sods Law! And no I don't have a 4×4 so don't be so judgemental! 😛
Try being a mum for a day, u gave up my job to look after my daughter so my wife could take promotion at work n I tell u now being a stay at home parent is harder than working that's for sure. Presume ur the guy moaning about 4 by 4 s lol
Assume this is the same husband who works long hours to pay for that nice 4×4 you undoubtedly drive..

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – By Leigh Torbin
The lengthy list of accolades bestowed upon Irish defenseman Matt Landis gained yet another line on Monday as he garnered the ACC's Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor for men's lacrosse.
The graduated senior from Pelham, New York, is also a recipient of an ACC post-graduate scholarship and is a member of the USILA's Scholar All-American team.
Beyond the world of academics, Landis is a two-time recipient of the Schmeisser Award as the nation's top defensive player. He is also a two-time ACC Defenseman of the Year and a two-time first-team All-American. Landis was a finalist for the 2016 Tewaaraton Award for a 2016 season in which he served as a team captain on an Irish squad that went 11-4, shared the ACC regular season title and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.
Landis graduated in May with a degree in finance from Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business. He will begin work in July as an analyst for Jeffries, LLC in New York City. Landis also made his Major League Lacrosse debut on June 11 as his Boca Raton-based Florida Launch beat Denver, 1916. Landis caused a turnover and had a pair of ground balls in the Launch's win.
Leigh Torbin, athletics communications assistant director at the University of Notre Dame, has been part of the Fighting Irish athletics communications team since 2013 and coordinates all media efforts for the Notre Dame's lacrosse teams while serving as the football publicity team's top lieutenant. A native of Framingham, Massachusetts, Torbin graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in sports management. He has previously worked full-time on the athletic communications staffs at Vanderbilt, Florida, Connecticut and UCF.

16 March, 2012 : – – In early March, at the invitation of the convention's producers, the ISA sent a representative to Mali, Africa, to deliver a presentation to an audience of national sports delegates at the Africa International Sports Convention (CISA). Marcos "Bukao" Esmanhoto, the ISA's Contest Director and an Executive Committee member, made a 30-minute presentation outlining the ISA's efforts to develop surfing throughout the continent. Upon its completion, he received a resounding applause from the roomful of representatives from each of the continent's 53 countries.
The presentation touched on the potential social and economic implications of having a blossoming surf scene throughout the continent of Africa. Using a comprehensive breakdown of the surf industry landscape as substance for how and where the sport can grow in Africa, the message was sent that the sky is the limit.
"We know how important and essential surfing is in our own lives, but there are also greater social and economic implications for having surfing being a part of a culture," said Fernando Aguerre, the president of the ISA. "It's long been a dream of mine to spread surfing to every corner of the globe. When you see a place like Africa, a place with so many good waves and so many people living near the ocean, you can tell that there is a place for Africa in the surfing world. It's a very worthwhile goal."
When Aguerre became president and chairman of the ISA in 1994, the organization had just above 30 member nations. He radically altered the face and action of the ISA, aiming to grow its impact and recognition throughout the world. Today, the ISA has 70 member nations, eight of which are from Africa.
"We're not happy with those numbers," said Aguerre, referring to the small percentage of member nations from Africa. "We plan on focusing some of our limited resources on Africa. We want to help Africa to surf."
Part of the presentation to CISA included the goal to raise the number of ISA member nations on the continent from eight to 15 by the end of 2013. The ISA also hopes to raise its total number of member nations around the world to 100 within that same timeframe. Currently, Cape Verde, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Namibia, Senegal, Somalia and South Africa are member nations of the ISA.
Aguerre's dream for surfing also includes its inclusion in future Olympic Games. Part of making that dream a reality requires expanding the presence of surfing in the athletic landscape around the globe. In recent years, the ISA's focus has been on spreading surfing in Latin America and Asia. Numerous contests have been held throughout Latin America, including the inaugural ISA World StandUp Paddle and Paddleboard Championship last month in Peru and the upcoming ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in Panama in April.
Just a few months ago, in January, the ISA created and produced the largest surfing competition ever on the continent of Asia, the Hainan Wanning Riyue Bay International Surfing Festival Presented by Quiksilver. The two-event festival included the inaugural ISA China Cup and the Hainan Classic, an ASP Men's
"The ISA has shown that it's serious in its mission: We're always working toward a better surfing future. Spreading surfing in Africa is just another step in the materialization of that hope and dream," Aguerre said. "We've seen the good that surfing can do in 70 countries so far. We only hope to spread some of those positive vibes to as many new places as possible."
The International Surfing Association (ISA) is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the World Governing Authority for Surfing. It was originally founded as the International Surfing Federation in 1964 and has been running Open Division World Championships since 1964, Junior World Championships since 1980, and Masters World Championships since 2007. The ISA also sanctions the World Kneeboard Titles and the Tandem Surfing World Titles, and held the first stand-alone World Bodyboard Championship in 2011, the inaugural ISA China Cup in 2012 and the first ISA World StandUp Paddle (SUP) and Paddleboard Championship in 2012.
ISA membership includes the surfing National Governing Bodies of 70 countries on five continents. Its headquarters are located in San Diego, California. It is presided over by Fernando Aguerre (Argentina), first elected President in 1994 in Rio de Janeiro and re-elected seven times since. The ISA´s three Vice-Presidents are Alan Atkins (AUS), Karín Sierralta (PER) and Debbie Beacham (USA).

Apply to Borrow $1000 to $25,000*
- Apply For $ 50 – $ 1,000
- Fast Payout
- No Fees
- Secure Application
- Available 24/7
- Bad Credit
Not sure if you'll be accepted?
Don't worry about having bad or no credit, apply for a payday loan regardless of your credit. Get the funds you need fast.
When applying for a personal loan, or any loan for that matter, there's no such thing as a guaranteed loan. But there are things that you can do to boost your chances.
One thing to keep in mind is that lenders and companies only want one thing, to get paid. Which means they will only give you your loan if you meet their requirements.
Things to Consider Before Applying
Tidy your credit score
Credit scores are an important factor in getting approved. It's the lenders basis of how well you manage your debts.
Before applying for a personal loan, get a copy of your credit report, see if there are any errors. And if there is one, correct it immediately and dispute it. That way, even a little, your credit score may improve.
If you have any existing debts, pay it off as soon as you can. And if you do proceed, be wary of your monthly payment and manage it as best as you can. Pay extra If you have the extra money.
See if you meet the lenders requirements
Most lenders require you to have a monthly income, some ask for your annual income. Bottom line is, your income is the most important factor in considering whether you get approved for a loan or not. Doesn't matter if you have an excellent credit rating, if you don't have any income.
Don't borrow too much
As stated earlier, the only thing that lenders have in mind is getting paid. That is why it's very important to borrow only the amount that you are capable of paying
Asking for way too much compared to your income may make the lenders think that you are a high-risk applicant, thus diminishing your chances of getting approved.
Get a co-signer
A co-signer will have the same responsibility as you, shouldering the payment if you ever miss out on one or you default.
Being a co-signer is a lot of risk, so be careful when choosing one. Make sure your co-signer can afford the financial risk.
Be responsible with your payments while having a co-signer, not only will you damage your credit score, but with your relationship with the co-signer as well.
Getting a personal loan with poor credit is challenging, but not impossible. Nowadays, there are many lenders who are willing to accept your loan application despite the bad credit remark. However, your options are limited and unlike the ones offered to borrowers with good credit remarks, it is unpleasant. Lenders know how risky it is to lend loans to people with a poor credit history, therefore, the interest rate they charge is expensive. On top of this, the loan amount is smaller and the repayment period is shorter.
But then again, you can still find a lender who will cater to your financial needs and possibly, a loan provider with a better loan offer.
Avoid Payday Loans
When you have poor credit, you might be tempted to get a loan that won't use your credit remark as a basis to come up with a decision, such as a payday loan. Indeed, this type of loan is easy to acquire; however, the interest rate is extremely high. Meanwhile, the amount is relatively small and it can only be used to settle minor expenses. Choose a personal loan instead because it's cheaper, it offers a bigger amount compared to payday loans, and the repayment term is more flexible.
How To Take A Personal Loans With A Bad Credit
If you have bad credit, you can always build it up. It's easier said than done but it will help you a lot when you choose to open new accounts. You can start by getting a free copy of your credit report. This way, you'll know your exact credit score and the unpaid accounts you have. Create a payment plan and be sure to prioritize loans with higher interest rates first.
When choosing a personal loan, choose a lender that will allow you to pay the loan in installments. This way, you can repay the loan easily, build your credit rating slowly, and still have enough money for other expenses.
You can also choose loans that will ask for security, such as collateral and a guarantor. While these loans are risky in case you decide to default, it increases your chance to get approved even if you have a bad credit remark.
How To Apply?
Applying for an unsecured loan is so easy. All you need to do is to select a loan of your choice. Provide your information in an online form provided on the lender's website. Once you have completed all the necessary steps, just wait for a confirmation for your approval. It will only take a few minutes to get the results. Once it is in, you can get your money directly deposited to your account.
Provide Your Information
Enter your personal details in order to process your application. It's easy and fast!
Choose Your Loan
We have a wide list of options for you to choose from. Select the loan that is best for your needs.
Immediate Results
No need to wait days to get results. In just a matter of minutes, you can get approved for a loan.
Safe Cash Transfers
Once approved, the money is sent directly to your checking account. Fast and hassle-free online transactions.

My parents had never mentioned their medals or what they did in World War II to merit medals. Yet when I delved into the trunk, I unearthed small blue boxes of medals, suggesting stories I hadn't heard . . . yet.
I could guess what some of the medals represented. The black, red, and white medal that said "Germany" at the top had to be Dad's. I knew he had joined a battlefield unit that pushed into Germany. I knew, as an Army doctor, he had set up a battalion aid unit in Germany toward the end of the fighting. But what about the medal with bars that read: Marksman, Carbine, Rifle, Submachine? Or the one with soldiers on front and a very large bird on the back? Was that my mother's? I loved the medal that read: Freedom from Fear and Want, Freedom of Speech and Religion. And a Purple Heart. That one surprised me, though I had a good idea where it came from.
I knew I would never know the whole story of each medal, not until I'd read every letter in that Army trunk.

Throughout next month, players at PokerStars have multiple opportunities to win a $30,000 PSPC Platinum Pass – or qualify for a series of All-In Shootouts with passes as prizes that take place on the first weekend in February. Don´t miss your opportunity to win a PokerStars´ PSPC Platinum Pass in January.
A couple of weeks ago, [geolink href="https://www.pokernewsreport.com/pokerstars-announces-2019-players-nl-holdem-championship-22045″]PokerStars announced an ambitious plan[/geolink] to host "the richest and most exciting $25,000 buy-in live event in poker history". The PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC) will take place at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino Resort in the Bahamas from January 6th to January 10th 2019, and will have an anticipated prize pool in excess of $10 million.
To support its ambitious plan, PokerStars has announced it will be giving away three hundred "Platinum Passes" throughout 2018. Each Platinum Pass has a value of $30,000 and includes the PSPC buy-in, accommodation at the resort, and $2,000 towards travel expenses. Players will have their first opportunities to win a PSPC Platinum Pass from next week.
Thirteen Passes Up for Grabs in Live Events
January is a big month for PokerStars-sponsored live events around the globe, and the site is taking full advantage of the opportunity to distribute more than a dozen Platinum Passes in key events. If you have not yet planned your live poker action for next month, you might want to include some of the following venues to improve your chances of winning a PokerStars´ PSPC Platinum Pass in January:
Italian Poker Open – 3rd to 8th January.
PokerStars will be giving away a PSPC Platinum Pass during the Italian Poker Open Main Event to the player who lasts longer after registering for the €600,000 guaranteed tournament via the Italian Poker Open website (please note Day 1C is already sold out).
ACOP Platinum Series – 3rd to 18th January.
The twentieth Asia Championship of Online Poker (ACOP) takes place at PokerStars Macau LIVE from next Wednesday. The winner of the ACOP Main Event will not only win the lion´s share of the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool, but also a PSPC Platinum Pass.

|600 E. Elm Ave, Enid, OK
|NRHP Date:
|September 8, 1988
Current Usage
The Enid Armory is a two-story, essentially rectangular (246′ x 17 5′) building constructed of red brick. Extending from the central drill floor are one and two story units that externally make the building appear to be a series of different sized cubes. The roof is flat with parapets capped by concrete blocks. Central entryways are framed on the sides by brick piers and, above, a frieze that suggests a porch roof. Fixed and single windows are encased by metal and rest on concrete slip sills. On the front, insets above the windows rise to the roof line. There are four to five garage doors on either side of the structure.
The third largest constructed in Oklahoma, the Enid Armory is an exceptional resource for the local community and the region. Architecturally, as a WPA building it is unique in its use of brick construction materials, contrasting with armories in the state other than those in the northwest which were generally built of native stone. The use of the building by the Oklahoma National Guard for the past 50 years underscores its significance. There, units of the guard have prepared themselves for military action in World War II and Korea and for civil defense and disaster relief. In other ways the structure has also contributed to an improved quality of life in Enid. Construction of the armory poured wages from some 152,000 manhours of labor into the local economy during a critical portion of the depression, materially improving the community's economic condition and quality of life. Those same wages also enabled the laborers on the project, many of whom were agriculturalists driven to destitution by the drought, to provide for their own families and to tide themselves over the economic slump until better times returned.[1]
This building is on the National Register of Historic Places[2]
VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION: From the southwest corner of Gore Park, Marshall-Gannon Addition to the Enid original go north 416 feet, east 312 feet, south l/-16 feet, and west 312 feet.
"The Enid Armory, located at 600 E. Elm Avenue is a two-story red brick building, constructed as a WPA project in 1936. At the time, it was the third largest armory in Oklahoma. It is the only armory built using red brick.
This building has been used to train soldiers for World War II and Korea. It was targeted by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission in 2005, as one of the 58 armories to be closed within the next five years. Currently, a new Armed Forces Reserve Center is being built at Vance Air Force Base in Enid. This Center should be completed in the Fall of 2010, will take over training operations, and this armory will no longer function as such."
The building was demolished in 2010 and is now the site of the Garfield Elementary School.[8]

Oklahoma might restrict some forms of gambling, but it has fast become the US capital of tribal casinos, with literally dozens of Native American casinos operating within state lines.
In fact, collectively, the state's tribal casino scene is a multi-billion-dollar industry on its own.
Although horse racing betting is permitted, dog racing is illegal, as is social gambling among family and friends. The daily fantasy sports industry has not yet been addressed by the
Oklahoma Gambling Laws – Summary and Look to the Future
As with many other US states, Oklahoma's constitution does not directly address the burgeoning online gambling industry. However, the state's penal code does state that "any machine, instrument, mechanism, or devices that operates or may be played or operated mechanically, electronically, automatically, or manually" is prohibited.
Unlike comparable US states, Oklahoma does have one case of an individual being prosecuted on three counts of illegal online gambling, including "using a computer to gamble".
However, many people are hapy to continue playing casino games, online poker and placing sportsbook wagers with offshore platforms.
Oklahoma Gambling Laws – A Brief History
- 1916 – All forms of gambling prohibited by the state.
- 1983 – Horse Racing Act passed by Congress.
- 2004 – Establishment of tribal casinos passed by Congress.
- 2005 – State-operated Oklahoma Lottery founded.
- 2013 – Tribal casinos permitted to offer online gambling games to overseas customers, but not Oklahoma residents.
- 2014 – Record $4.2 billion annual revenues generated by state's tribal casinos.
- 2016 – Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma unveils global online poker room.
What Types of Gambling are Legal in Oklahoma?
- Casino Gambling – There are many casinos in Oklahoma and all are on tribal land though some are run by the major casino corporations. Oklahoma has all of the traditional card games but Craps and Roulette are played with cards instead of a dice and wheel and each game is taxed individually so players must post the tax every hand they play. The tax is .50 on blackjack and $1 on roulette and craps.
- Sports Betting – Sports betting is legal in Oklahoma on horse racing and there are three
- racetracks throughout the state. Oklahoma has introduced a sports betting bill but it hasn't passed yet. You can follow the latest developments on sports betting in Oklahoma here.
- Online Betting – The only current online betting in Oklahoma is on horse racing and the only site that operates there in Twin Spires. You can follow any updates on Online betting in Ohio here.
- Daily Fantasy – The Oklahoma legislature hasn't done anything to say DFS doesn't fall under skill gaming so the large DFS sites like Fanduel and Draft Kings accept players from there.
- Poker – Poker is legal in Oklahoma at the 17 poker rooms located in the state.
- Bingo – Bingo is legal in Oklahoma for Charities but they must have a license which have an annual fee attached.
- Lottery – Lottery tickets are available in Oklahoma but the primary drawings are the interstate lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions.

From the beginning, there were two story lines to come out of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. One was the astounding dominance of the American team, beginning with its record-setting rout against Thailand in their opening game and ending, on Sunday, with a 2-0 victory against the Netherlands in the final round, the team's fourth championship win.
The other was the flair and bravado that team members brought with them to the field: celebrating goals, basking in their wins; though they received no small amount of criticism for it, their instant celebrity caught the attention of millions and united viewers, in the United States at least, behind an inspiring sports story — only this time, it was a women's team.
And that, more than the four stars they will now wear on their jerseys, is why we love them. Because they're the most American thing we've got going right now.
Three days before witnessing the team capture their fourth World Cup, I was sitting on my couch half-heartedly watching John Stamos host the annual Fourth of July celebration on PBS, when a woman began singing "God Bless America," as a montage of Washington sites flashed in accompaniment.
[Never be uninteresting. Read the most thought-provoking, funny, delightful and raw stories from The New York Times Opinion section. Sign up for our Sunday Best newsletter.]
And it occurred to me that, as stirring as the monuments and civic vistas can be, they're not exactly the images that define America right now. Instead, it's children in cages. It's growing attacks on the right to love, on the freedom to speak. It's American-made missiles being fired by Saudi Arabia at Yemeni civilians, despite a congressional resolution condemning participation in that brutal war. And the president who insists on selling more of those weapons to the Saudis, Donald J. Trump, has been credibly accused of rape. Yet there he was, with his tanks and flyovers, on the National Mall.
So while the scenes I witnessed from Washington celebrated some version of "America," they stood mute next to the exciting power of the United States women's team.
During this World Cup, one thing has been made clear: the freedom to speak openly, critically and honestly prevails. That's exactly what this American team has done, prompting the praise of famous fans like Oprah and Ellen and the condemnation of others, including President Trump, who took shots at them after the team's captain, Megan Rapinoe, announced that she would decline an invitation to the White House, should the team win. Other teammates followed suit.
"Women's soccer player, @mPinoe, just stated that she is 'not going to the F...ing White House if we win,'" he tweeted. "Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!"
Well, Mr. President, that's exactly what she did.
In an America with a White House raised up on a pedestal of empty promises, the women's team reminded us what it means to talk the talk and walk the walk; 23 athletes wore the American flag on their hearts and fought hard to defend it. And they did it with honesty, humor and wit.
Arms stretched wide, chest puffed out, pink-haired head held high, Rapinoe earned her stars following the president's tweet, when she put home the winning goal in the final half of the World Cup, earning her team a back-to-back championship and clinching the Golden Boot, for highest scorer, and Golden Ball, for best player in the tournament.
Though most people only became aware of the team once the tournament began, the team members' commitment to winning the tournament stretches back four years — four years of intense, painful work out of the spotlight, making far less than their male counterparts, all for a chance to represent their country again.
As the final whistle blew on Sunday afternoon, we were reminded of an America in which women can fight for equal pay and better working conditions and have a stadium of thousands chanting right alongside them. An America where women are unapologetic for taking space and celebrating their victories, where women are unwavering in their commitment to their goals, and don't care whether or not you like them. We witnessed an America in which you can dye your hair pink (or whatever color you please), and nobody questions whether or not you're worthy of being taken seriously. And perhaps, most significantly, we saw an America where hard work pays off.
Soon after the team's victory on Sunday a fourth star was sewn onto each player's jersey; they'll wear it forever. The stars serve as proof: It's not hate or fear, but courage and poise, that make America.

Southside schools, politics in education on Hanna's agenda
By St. Clair Murraine
Outlook staff writer
No matter how the question was asked during the recent campaign for Leon County superintendent of schools, Rocky Hanna was steadfast in his response to whether a new high school should be built on Tallahassee's south side.
It's not supported by the Florida Department of Education and he isn't in favor either. Economically a new school isn't the best way to spend money on education, he said.
However, Hanna insists that he'd like to build on the legacy of Rickards High School and Fairview elementary by doing state-of-the-art renovations at both south side schools.
Hanna, who was sworn in two weeks ago as the new superintendent of Leon County Schools, is vehement in his belief that renovation would enhance the learning environment at both schools.
"I'm fully committed to making our south side schools look like our north side schools," Hanna said earlier this week. "Inside the classrooms, outside the classrooms and in the quality of instructions we provide for our kids."
He said he will begin a case study within the coming weeks to evaluate the best and most economical way to make the change happen. He likened the situation to that of Lincoln High School before it was renovated over a four-year period, beginning in 2005 at the cost of $30 million.
In part, Hanna said a new school, which would cost an estimated $50 million could end up costing the district about $80 million because of what it the projected price of converting Rickard to a middle school and renovating Fairview for other uses.
He figures the less money could be spent to improve both schools. Fairview is in dire need of repairs, he said, his emotions ringing through in his voice.
"It breaks my heart to walk inside Fairview's gym," he said.
In addition, Hanna would like to see schools in the district return to being more diverse and he also wants teachers to have more autonomy in their classrooms. Reducing the number of political mandates that are changing education is also high on his list of priorities.
Those who know him say that Hanna, 52, will attack those issues with the same passion that he did as a teacher and principal during a career that started as a hall monitor 28 years ago.
"He is definitely one that will go against the flow if he feels in his heart that he is right, even though it might be very, very unpopular," said Jean Ferguson, a former assistant principal who worked with Hanna at Leon High School. "He has an innate ability to understand what has to be done."
School administrators and teachers should have more say in any change that affects what goes on in the classroom, Hanna said. That, he said, was the consensus at a recent meeting of state educators in Tampa.
"They (politicians) need to talk to the people who are in the trenches every day," he said. "When I was principal at Leon (High School) I found myself time and time again going the Legislature trying to talk some sense into to them about performance pay for teachers, mandatory graduation requirements for all of our kids that include chemistry and algebra II. It's like they expect every kid leaving high school to go to college and that's just not the reality."
Hanna also expressed concern about a mandate passed last year to allow school choice. He questioned the validity of the law, saying that it's a step backward that would create segregation in schools. Hanna pointed to Griffin Middle School to illustrate his point, saying that instead of being almost 50/50 in its racial makeup it's now predominantly Black, while there are other schools in the district with populations of mostly white students.
"That's a concerning factor to me," he said. "We have to have programs in place to keep diversity in our schools."
During the campaign, Hanna seemingly managed to stay on message despite being involved in a highly contentious race against incumbent Jackie Pons.
"It was the longest 15 months of my life," Hanna said. "I think there are two or three times in our lifetime when we have defining moments. This was certainly one of my defining moments. Am I proud of how ugly it was? No. But I try to try to take our first lady's advice when they go low I try to stay high."
He seemingly is taking the same approach in standing his ground on what he believes is best for students and teachers. There is a better-than-average chance that he will succeed, Ferguson said.
"He will fight it to the bitter end until there is no recourse," she said. "He will find some other way to attack it. He just feels that public pre-K to 12 has gotten too far afield of what our mission is."

Nixie - wearable camera that can fly
The cruise ship Carnival Paradise is host of the international competition for Universal Petite Pageant 2016. This unique beauty pageant organized by Hazely Corp set sail from Tampa on July 18, 2016, to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Designated for ladies 5'6 feet (167.5cm) or less, the main focus of this pageant is to appreciate the beauty of petite women by offering opportunities and special acknowledgment.
Magical clouds covered the sea around the island of Santorini, Greece forming unique landscape. This phenomena occurred on Friday, July 15, 2016, just when the Cunard line cruise ship Queen Victoria arrived in Santorini. As the cloud formation covered the sea it looks like the cruise ship is sailing into clouds. Andreas Patiniotis captured this heavenly landscape with his camera showing how magical it must have been the scenery up close.
Genoa, 12 July 2016 – Onboard Costa Diadema, flagship of the Costa Cruises fleet, was presented Pepper, the first robot in the world able to recognize main human emotions and proactively interact with the surrounding environment. Starting from today, five Pe pper robots will be operative on all 7-day cruises of the Costa's flagship in the Western Mediterraneean: their task will be to entertain guests, making their on board experience even more unique and unforgettable.
More than a hundred cruise ship passengers from two cruise ships will participate in the Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona. On July 7, 2016, 75 passengers from the cruise ship Celebrity Constellation operated by Celebrity Cruises, docked in Bilbao will come by buses to participate in this unusual festival. From the balconies or in the square, they will enjoy the festival with organized tour. A similar tour has been prepared by the tourist operator for two groups of 25 people who will arrive on 13 and 14, on the cruise ship The Word, docked in Hendaya.
A huge crocodile was captured on video last week walking along the Palancar beach in Cozumel, causing fear among people who were at the beach resort. The crocodile was first captured resting under the shade of a palm tree and then heading between beach chairs he disappeared in the sea. This is not the first time crocodiles are spotted on the beaches of Cozumel or the Riviera Maya because of the proximity to wetland areas, natural habitat of such species.
The French navy maritime surveillance aircraft type Dassault Falcon 50 "Surmar" caused disturbance among the passengers sailing onboard Norwegian Breakaway. The aircraft passed four times close to the cruise ship that had just departed from St. Gerorge, Bermuda. Several passengers express concern over the low-flying aircraft, and some fearing it might have been a terrorist attack.
The cruise ship AIDA prima was racing field for two drones type Vortex 250 Pro, capable of reaching top speed of 120 km / h. The drone cameras show the new extreme perspective of the latest AIDA cruise ship. They fly over the Lanai deck, the Beach Club and more rapid scenes take place in the theater, restaurants and in the Spa. The two-minute video was shot in April 2016 during the crossing of Aida Prima to Hamburg. The pilots Detlef Wormstall and Alex Wulf from Skypros navigated the drones all around the ship using VR goggles.
Every ship has a captain, but on larger percentage on the ships in the cruise industry captains are of the male gender. It has been the truth as old as time, men overpopulate the majority of the higher paying positions around the world and this position has not been any different for as long as the cruise industry has existed. It seems that this old-fashioned way of thinking has been shifting lately since the cruise industry slowly is incorporating female captains into their fleets.
Just when you think you seen all imaginable on cruise ship, the six-time world champion Adam Raga, has shown that you can still go further. The Spanish motorcyclist has boarded on a cruise ship with his bike to roll short "holiday on two wheels" while Pullmantur Sovereign was sailing the Mediterranean.

The simplest, most joyful, project management platform
We use it as an upgraded version of 'Trello', which basically allows planning of many projects in many teams in a central place, and have an easy to use reporting sections
Flow doesn't try to solve the entire spectrum of Project Management problems, but the ones it does solve, it does very well. Flow, like the name implies, has a certain flow that directs you through your project management and reporting. If you like that flow, which is extremely simple and easy to use, then you could plan pretty complicated projects and tasks, in a big team, and make it a joy to use such a tool - which is very rare in this industry. Flow is also really good at making you focus on what's important by signaling and emphasizing tasks that you need to complete. It does so by simply knowing the due date for your tasks and then prioritizing it for you in a simple and focused manner.
Like every specific, non-generalized tool, it does what it does very well, but if you step outside of Flow's flow, it can become a hassle to use and all its benefits would go to waste, and then a different, more generalized tool will be more efficient.

A beautiful lightweight and streamline project management tool
It's so easy to track tasks, the interface is gorgeous and it's not a monster software in terms of size compared to the alternatives. It might lack of some features for big teams, so be sure to know your team needs before making the switch.
- It's just gorgeous, I mean its weird to list it as a pro maybe but considering the competitors using this app is just wonderful. - Super visual, don't get lost in those gigantic todo list. In flow you can see all the timelines of the tasks. - Filtering and searching is soo easy - It's so much easier to use than jira and asana. It works great for small teams.
- The mobile app needs a little bit more polish - Not so good for really big teams
Reasons for Choosing Flow
The price, ease of use and simpleness of the interface.

Disappointed about ownership of information
None, as I decided not to chose it as my project management software anyway. I selected ASANA instead, that I liked more and has the same price.
They got back to me very promptly when asking information on line and over email. And I appreciate their honesty in explaining how it works.
That they could not delete my personal details and account. They could only deactivate it. I find it absurd that the person cannot request to have their information deleted. This may also be the case with other softwares, in which case, that is also unacceptable to me.

Flow has been a gamechanger for me in keeping up with tasks.
Flow saves me time. which in my opinion is the most valuable benefit there is. It allows me to focus on what I'm good at and I don't have to worry about keeping all my projects organized and trying to remember what projects are due when.
I love Flow for a lot of reasons! The main reasons I love this software is its ability to make staying organized and on top of tasks simple and easy. As a graphic designer, I tend to be more on the creative side and less aware of numbers and dates. Flow allows me to keep all of my assignments organized by the due date which helps me prioritize projects and never miss a deadline again. Not only does it keep my tasks organized, it also allows other people involved in the project to be in constant communication with each other. You can upload attachments, coworkers can see and comment on your activity, offer suggestions or edits in real-time all within Flow. it's almost like having a Facebook timeline for your project! Using Flow has really streamlined our entire creative process, from conception to completion of a project, Flow enables us to be on top of our game and focus on what we are good at, providing the best creative service we can provide.
If I had to give one complaint about Flow it would be the user interface, if unfamiliar with the program and how it works it can be easy to get lost in the many layers of tabs.

Ideal tool for planning and project management
Flow allows the planning of projects and their progress to be even faster, thanks to the fact that the work is divided and we can visualize how many users are busy and who are not so that tasks are assigned to them so that the completion of the project be given in the shortest possible time.
I really like Flow because it is a tool that offers us extremely useful functions to carry out the management of projects at the business level where to plan, grant tasks to team members and visualize the progress or what is still under way in order to carry carry out this whole process is much simpler and organized, because the work flow to be shared decreases and you can move much faster in each project, its interface is very intuitive and organized, from a single screen you can have visualization of everything It also allows access to be carried out from any place or device.
I consider that more than negative aspects it is necessary that they implement new features that facilitate the use even more and give it more customization that makes the user feel more comfortable when using the software.

Architecture shapes the world around us. It reflects our societies and communities, and influences the way we think and feel. Architecture dominates our skyline, transforms our cities, changes the way we live and work and becomes part of our narrative. Learn how to design buildings and make spaces for people in a creative and environmentally responsible way.
The Architecture course at Cardiff Met is informed by the tradition and heritage of a school of art and design, and by the contemporary creative use of cutting-edge technology, exploring the relationship of human experiences with architecture.
The programme aims to establish a creative dialogue between different areas of architectural knowledge: design, representation, technology, contextual studies and professional practice. You will develop your understanding of these thematic areas and their integration through engagement in projects of increasing difficulty.
This will allow you to formulate architectural proposals that are spatially and technically resolved, with a robust theoretical basis. You will also learn how to effectively communicate your proposals within a professional context through a range of media.
Finally, the programme places special emphasis on the architect's responsibility in tackling contemporary problems of environmental concern, at the global and local scales (such as the climate emergency). You will be actively encouraged to develop critical perspectives on how knowledge and creativity can be used together to arrive at design solutions that have the potential to render buildings, neighbourhoods or cities more sustainable in the short and long term.
There will be opportunities to engage in real-world activities, including work with local communities and employers, as well as chances to experience other cultures – and their architecture – through overseas study trips.
Image: Mark Popov
The curriculum is made up of three components that are referred to as Subject, Field and Constellation:
Both Field and Constellation modules allow architectural students to familiarise themselves with various art-and-design disciplines, and appreciate their relationship with architecture and their influence on the quality of architectural design.
Year 1Subject - Introduction to Architectural Thinking and Design (40 credits)
You'll be introduced to essential architectural concepts and skills and to an appreciation of what architectural design is and what it involves.
You'll build upon the skills and knowledge acquired in the first module and further your design ability through engagement in a project that integrates architectural design, representation and technology, and contextual studies.
Widen your horizons by joining students from other courses to collaborate on a project. You'll take inspiration from other disciplines to build on your experience and expand your creativity – and use your skills and artistic insight to apply them to your work.
This module introduces you to the wider world of ideas, theory and contextual studies to help you develop your academic research skills and critical thinking. You'll focus on particular areas of interest in study groups and you'll become familiar with the exciting trans-disciplinary research and expertise at Cardiff School of Art & Design.
This module aims to advance your design skills by presenting you with an integrated project of greater complexity than those proposed in year 1 and by introducing you to the urban dimension in architecture.
You'll expand your experiences with challenging projects designed to encourage you to explore and experiment outside your immediate discipline. This transformative opportunity leads to new thinking and innovation – and opens up all kinds of future possibilities. You'll take on exciting projects that challenge you in new ways. You can also choose to travel, take a work placement, start your own business or try something new.
You'll conduct an integrated architectural design project that presents you with new themes and challenges around housing and local communities.
You'll consolidate the knowledge and skills that you've gained at previous levels of study, and further your ability to conduct an integrated architectural design, by getting involved in a project of increased complexity.
Your final term is dedicated to the completion of your Comprehensive Project and an exhibition of your work. This is where you draw together everything you've learnt during the course and is the launch pad to your future career.
Your design practice is underpinned by your knowledge. Demonstrate your research and analysis skills in your final Constellation submission, where you'll explore ideas in both written and practical forms.
Learning, teaching and assessment strategies seek to promote effective learning styles to create an environment of student participation and engagement in each subject; to encourage independent and life-long learning capability and to realise the full potential of each student.
The programme seeks to develop a teaching and learning culture that cultivates the inquisitive and creative mind whilst recognising the need to respond to the demands of professional photographic practice.
Acquisition of core knowledge and understanding is achieved mainly through a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, studio and practical workshops. More 'advanced knowledge' and understanding is obtained by the former as well as through independent study and specific group teamwork.
Within studio practice, the major teaching and learning strategy is the Project. Projects are of relatively long duration and are intended to broaden the student's intellectual and creative abilities. They seek to promote an attitude of critical analysis which challenges prior assumptions and aims for genuine innovation. They have prescribed limits and objectives but they do not necessarily have prescribed outcomes.
Project objectives are established at the outset and form part of the brief.
The assessment methods are also identified at this stage. Several types of project are used:
All project work demands problem analysis, research, creativity, decision-making, practical and technical skills, communication and justification. Project outcomes are generally studio-based but may also be research-based.
Within a project a number of other learning and teaching strategies are utilised. These include:
Lectures deliver a coherent programme of study and general inspiration. They are supported by visual material and/or textual material. The content can be historical, theoretical, contextual or practical. Where appropriate, lectures are structured to involve students in discussion.
Modular Subject Tutorials
Tutorials are meetings of a student or group of students with a lecturer or lecturers and are used in two ways within the programme:
Seminars take three forms: those guided by staff where texts or artefacts are provided for students to present an analysis to their group; those where students select texts/artefacts for discussion within the group; and those where students present their own work or research findings.
Seminars are designed to encourage articulate and analytical presentation and, through group discussions, to develop an understanding of the subject and its context.
This is a central teaching & learning method particularly when relating the learning gained from the field and constellation and contextualising it and relating it back into the subject of photography.
Seminars may involve a student or students presenting previously prepared work to peers and a lecturer. This strategy is used to extend specific theoretical or practical concepts as well as introducing problem solving exercises.
Seminars provide students with valuable experience in presentational skills, blogs, wikis or podcasts, as well as providing staff with a method or assessing student-centred learning.
Practical Workshops
Practical workshops enable students to practice and refine their skills in a supportive environment where they can get feedback from a member of academic staff.
Practical workshops represent a valuable transition between theory and practice. Practical studio sessions, emphasising the application of fundamental principles of photography, focus on problem solving and development of creative and technical solutions to photographic projects.
Simulations, exercises and live projects involving external client provide a stimulating challenge for students working both independently and in groups to experience real world problems.
Students are encouraged to articulate their proposals in an objective and critical manner and to develop interpersonal communication skills that are vital to a professional photographer.
The Moodle virtual learning environment (VLE) is extensively used on the programme to enhance the student learning experience.
Apart from its widespread use as a repository for learning material and resources, the VLE is used to engage students in their own learning using wikis, blogs and discussion groups.
In addition, the VLE is used in formative assessment with the use of quizzes and self-diagnostic tests. It is also valuable as a means of communicating with students and a 'home' module for photography has been created to provide a focal point for communicating and posting information of a more general nature.
Electronic feedback is used through the VLE via use of the Grade Center.
Critiques are held at each assessment stage (interim or final) of an assignment or project in the studio-based modules where students present their work to the year group and tutor for feedback and debate.
This event is a cornerstone of the learning process. Assignments are designed to ensure that students tackle a wide range of case studies or precedent that illustrates a variety of situations or solutions.
The critique process ensures students learn from work being done by others as well as through their own efforts.
Throughout the duration of your studies, you will be evaluated on three main criteria, which underpin all of the disciplines being taught at CSAD:
SKILLS: The practical, technical and conceptual skills you acquire during your course.
CONTEXT:Your understanding and knowledge of broader intellectual context within which your discipline and work is located. This includes historical, environmental and ethical issues and will often be explored in your 'Theory and Context' modules.
IDEAS:Your understanding of intellectual and creative ideas from within and beyond your discipline; plus your ability to acquire new concepts and form new ideas. Ideas will be explored in your written work, as well as being evident in your practical progress. Each of these criteria is given equal weighting during the assessment process. That is to say that they are seen as equally important and critical to your development; an emphasis which is designed, for example, to enable a more well-rounded skill set from a student who may be skilled technically, but weak in generating ideas, or a student with much creative flair who may struggle to hone a broad concept into a strong, individual design.
We provide a number of ways for you to track your progress en route to submitting your work for marking. Understanding that the emphases will revolve around the core areas of skills, context and ideas, you will also become familiar with the structured assessment form used by your tutors and learn to relate to your work back to the intended learning outcomes of each brief.
The main types of formative assessment are; academic (feedback from your tutors); peer (from your course-mates or project partners); and self-assessment (which is your own critique, in light of other forms of feedback). You won't just be receiving feedback at the end of a brief, however – your tutors will often assess your progress as your work develops, providing formative feedback at crucial moments where it is hoped to encourage you to take risks, maintain your motivation or shape-up your ideas ahead of deadline.
Graduates from the programme are well-placed to pursue further study and training towards qualifying as architects, or to be employed as architectural assistants or in the wider creative industries.
During the course, there will be the opportunities to undertake live briefs and obtain work experience. This will include building contacts and undertaking placements as well as exposure to architectural and building professionals through industry talks and mentoring. You will be offered support in forming your own business should you choose to do so.
Some graduates become teachers by taking a PGCE. Some graduates elect to take their studies further by studying at CSAD for a Master's level qualification and there are opportunities to take this further still, into research with a PhD or a Professional Doctorate in Art or Design.
Applicants should have a strong art and/or design portfolio and demonstrate a commitment to art and/or design, and preferably five GCSE passes to include English language and Mathematics* at grade C or above/grade 4 or above (for applicants holding newly reformed GCSEs in England)

Weather Blog: Weekend includes sunshine
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! After a week filled with clouds and showers...sunshine is back! In today's blog we look at the statewide weekend forecast.
To start, a quick reminder that you can get weather updates throughout the day by following me on Twitter @jnelsonweather You can also tweet me your weather reports and photos anytime! The Weather Watch 12 Facebook page is your home to weather forecasts and viewer photos...check it out here.
The weekend started suntastic with brilliant sunshine in many locations. One of those locations, Sheboygan, enjoyed a picture perfect start to the day. Our camera located at the Blue Harbor Resort caught the scene below.
The first half of the weekend will bring gusty west winds and seasonal temperatures around 60. A mix of sun and clouds will give way to a 20% chance of sprinkles or brief showers late in the day. Don't cancel any outdoor plans you may have.
Looking ahead to Sunday, surface winds will shift to the northeast meaning the dreaded lake breeze returns by midday and afternoon. The forecast below shows highs in the 50s in Milwaukee. The high will likely occur during the morning with temperatures in the afternoon dropping to the 40s along the lake.
Closer to Chicago a few showers are possible by late morning or afternoon. The most sunshine on Sunday will be seen in central and northern Wisconsin.
The average high in Milwaukee is in the low 60s now. Look for below average temperatures from Sunday to Tuesday. A big warm-up is still on the way for Thursday with highs in the 70s, maybe a few 80s. The temperature forecast on Wednesday and Thursday will hinge on the timing showers and thunderstorms and when winds shift from the southeast to the southwest.
Make sure to watch WISN 12 News this weekend from 5-6/7-9am and at 5, 6, & 10pm.
Have a great day!

Fur has become a popular again in the fashion world yet at the same time it's a controversial trend.
Ring, ring, ring," chimes the
bells as I walk through the front door, entering the musty room filled with colorful decades of different fashion. Walking into Empire Vintage Clothing on 443 Waverley St. is like entering into a fashion time machine.
Along with thrift shop standbys like letterman jackets and Beastie Boys shirts, this store (like so many others) has begun selling something more controversial: fur.
This old elitist staple, once ignored for fake fur, is appearing even in the liberal haven of Palo Alto.
The emergence of a previously reviled trend is nothing new. But Google Trends shows that searches for "buy real fur" was virtually none existent until November 2012 when it peaked in Google searches. (Currently the search on Google trends has decreased.)
Recently many notable designers such as Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander Wang and Alturazarra incorporated fur into their 2013 fall fashion line.
Wearefur.com is a website that advocates fur fashion. The "about" page of the website talks about the rise of fur in fashion modern fashion. Fur is not necessarily big in North America yet, but according to this website, 80 percent of the fur exports go to Europe.
"Global fur sales have been steadily rising since the International Fur Trading Federation began to collate figures in 1998. In 2011 total sales turnover was at just over $15 billion," the website states.
"More adults, college kids usually come in looking for exciting clothes because they are trying to explore and self-identify," says Orchid Taylor, an employee at Empire.
This 1920s fashion style has even spread to Paly students such as fur enthusiast junior Caroline Moley.
"I wear it for fashion because I think it looks good on with certain pieces. Yes, it also does keep you warm," Moley says.
Moley began wearing this trend in admiration of her deceased great grandmother, with whom she was very close.
"She always had the nicest things, like Chanel outfits and different fur coats and stoles," Moley says. "So I inherited items from her and ever since I have loved it."
At the same time, some Paly students believe this new trend unfairly cruel to animals.
"If fur is used for fashion, [there are] other options such as synthetics and pleather are available," junior Shyon Lewis says.
Junior Callie Walker also is against the wearing of fur.
"At one point in human history, it might have been necessary to wear fur for warmth or some sort of protection, but with all of the different types of clothing available to buyers today, including faux fur, it just seems downright wasteful of animals' lives," Walker says.
Walker has been a vegetarian since she realized at five years old that animals are conscious.
"To me it's not really a choice. If I even try to eat a piece of meat, not that I do so frequently, I will feel sick to my stomach," Walker says." I just find it really unfair that animals are constantly taken advantage of because they are unable to speak for themselves."
Moley believes that wearing vintage fur is justified because she says it isn't harming living animals.
"All of the furs I wear are from my grandma and great grandma or they are vintage, so I guess you could say I'm not supporting new animals to be killed," Moley says. "People eat meat every day and food only lasts a bit, but a fur coat can last a lifetime."
