Ban all evictions now
martinwicks March 25, 2020 March 25, 2020 Conservative government, Covid-19
The government has reneged on its commitment to ban all evictions during coronavirus crisis
The government announced that "as a result of these measures, no renters in private or social accommodation needs to be concerned about the threat of eviction". We were told there was going to be a ban on evictions for 3 months, though it might be extended.
On the 18th of March during Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) in the House of Commons, Boris Johnson said that legislation will be brought forward to protect people who are unable to pay their rent during the coronavirus crisis. Housing secretary Robert Jenrick said:
"The government is clear – no renter who has lost income due to coronavirus will be forced out of their home, nor will any landlord face unmanageable debts.
These are extraordinary times, and renters and landlords alike are of course worried about paying their rent and mortgage. Which is why we are urgently introducing emergency legislation to protect tenants in social and private accommodation from an eviction process being started."
However, with the publishing of the emergency Bill the government has reneged on that commitment. Inside Housing reported that the Bill only amends previous legislation such that a landlord can get possession after three months instead of two. For many renters this would simply mean that they could be evicted in June. It does nothing to secure the position of those tenants already threatened with eviction, or those whose landlord moving against them before the bill comes into force.
To proceed with evictions under the current circumstances is inhumane to say the least. MP Matt Western tweeted about a 76 year old woman given an eviction notice which means she will have to leave her home in a month. Shelter estimates that there are 20,000 cases of eviction already in process.
Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, said:
"Last week the government's commitment to a temporary ban on evictions made renters across the country feel safer in their homes. But today's watered-down measures risk homelessness and uncertainty at this worrying time. For the next three months as many as 20,000 eviction proceedings already in progress will go ahead, and eviction notices will continue to land on renter's doormats. This means people trying to isolate or socially distance, and even some within the shielded group, could still lose their home in the coming weeks, and even more may face eviction by mid-June. It defies belief that while so much effort is going into a coordinated medical response to this pandemic, the government is prepared to allow so many evictions to continue – putting at risk not just those losing their homes, but also the people they are forced into contact with.
This emergency legislation must not continue in its current form. We need a wholesale and complete halt to all evictions so that no-one is left without a home during this public health emergency. Anything less is a huge risk we do not need to take."
The measures introduced also make no provision for the arrears renters may accumulate in the economic turmoil resulting from the coronavirus shutdown, despite the offer of a three-month mortgage holiday to buy-to-let landlords.
Caitlin Wilkinson of Generation Rent said:
"Many renters will end up with thousands of pounds worth of debt and no means of paying it off. Landlords and tenants are expected to 'work together' to find a solution to suit both parties from June onwards – but there's absolutely nothing to stop landlords from evicting tenants if they can't pay."
Speaking in parliament shadow housing minister Sarah Jones said: "It would be frankly disgraceful for ministers to have promised one thing last week and to have misled renters with a promise to ban evictions, when the reality is nothing like that."
In a blog summarising the measures, housing lawyer Giles Peaker wrote:
"There is no address to the issue of coronavirus related rent arrears, none at all. As this proposed legislation stands, any tenant accruing rent arrears because of the impact of coronavirus (not being able to work, losing their job, self isolating etc) could face immediate possession proceedings three months after the service of a notice seeking possession. One has to expect a tidal wave of possession claims down the line."
The government has left in place Section 21 (no fault) evictions despite the fact that they announced they were going to scrap them. To leave them in place during the economic meltdown of the coronavirus crisis means that it will cause even more damage than it does in the normal course of events. So why haven't they included that in the emergency legislation?
Please contact your MP to demand
that there is an absolute ban on evictions now, including cases in process, and
the promised end of section 21 evictions is introduced now.

is paris always a good idea?: le temps de l'amour.
Getting off the train at Veneux-les-Sablons, I started to feel the emotion of the day that I was suppressing in order to keep my liquid eyeliner in tact, coming up again. Waiting for us at the station was relatives, friends, and in-laws of Aurélien's ready with their engines running to transport us rowdy pack to my father-in-law's house. It was something so simple but for some reason, really moved me. Seeing my mom get in the car with Aurélien's bother in-law Thomas, and my high school best friend loading her suitcase in the trunk of Aurélien's best friend's fiancée Julie, once again reminded me that it was another moment that I will most likely never see again. These group of people with very little in common had come together to speak broken Franglais for us. There was something very homemade about the way we planned the day's events, in our effort to get everyone together, to feel part of the family, and this life we have created over the past two years.
Just as they were settled in and more veil fussing provided by Belle, my groom walked in. We tried to keep elements of our attire a secret from each other, but him living with a nosy yenta posed a problem as I wanted to know everything. While I had already seen his tux and helped pick out the bow-tie, a secret he did keep from me was wearing a sparkling new pair of white Repetto jazz shoes, the same that my father used to wear. Those emotions that I was trying to control started bubbling up again like a pot of water on the brink of boiling. Geez, why was everything provoking me to cry?
As a wedding surprise, Gilles rented us a vintage Rolls Royce to bring us down to town hall, with our guests trailing behind by foot. The driver greatly entertained himself by honking the hour in different musical arrangements the entire three-minute drive. Surely irritating all of our neighbors and terrifying our guests he was rolling past, he kept looking through the rear-view mirror at the guests cackling with an open mouth over their reactions.
So you know how I said that our wedding wasn't a typical French wedding, our ceremony was conducted by Gilles, complete with a 9 page speech that he had translated in English and read by Aurélien's sister. While waiting for the ceremony to begin, guests enjoyed extremely dramatic orchestral versions of "November Rain" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
Here are some of my favorite quotes from his heartwarming speech that made the wedding so uniquely us.
"I'd like to specify that a good part of this ceremony will get a translation in English...Having questioned some members of the crowd who are in their 80s, they confirmed that they are fit as fiddles and a good ear, so they don't need sign language support!"
"Dear Friends, let's take advantage of this moment, us French citizens, to pay tribute to the thousands of your grandparents who came across from the United States to free us from the nazis. Without them, our country's motto "liberté, egalité, fraternité" would no longer exist."
"On a beautiful summer Sunday, a young New York writer with italo-mexicano-irish origins, in love with Paris to the point she had chosen to live in the city met a young urban-planner, mad about Paris, street art and riding his bike."
"The word together suggests a real equality, which means being complementary and not being clones. Yes, I know there are scientists in the room. To maintain this equality, specialists advice to communicate time after time, and not only say "Babe, can you pass the salt?" Yes, I know communications specialists are also in this room."
"Finally and before the great solemn moment of your commitment, I wanted to quote the writer Jacques de Bourbon Busset, who said: "I have known the grace of living a great shared love."
Once all of the documents were signed, and I let out my shy "oui" (I even consider this public speaking in French), we were married!
As our guests were waiting outside in the now pouring rain for us to come out as a newly married couple, the mayor of the town who was verifying all of the documents, found a problem*. Apparently, we had signed on the wrong side of one of the forms and conversations about the wedding not being officiated and annulled were being had. We had already heard the word nazi on our wedding day, but I had to draw the line at it being annulled. I quickly became an unhappy bride, mostly because I saw through the window all of our friends and family standing outside in the cold rain for us to come out. "Can't we just print out another one, sign it and get our guests out of the rain?", I offered. But we're in France...so no.
Once everyone stopped saying the word annulled and surrendered the idea that the American witnesses were going to fly back to France a week later to re-sign the documents, it was announced that we were married...again. I don't know exactly how it was resolved because we all know how particular this country is with paperwork, and am a bit skeptical in the belief that all it took was me and my mother's New York comments to officiate the wedding. Wanting to get the show on the road, I stopped questioning and figured I'd find out when I apply for my new visa. That should be fun.
"C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps de copains, le temps d'aventure..."
*Update: The problem with the paper work was that we had signed on the wrong side, the side of the wedding following ours.
I can now see why there was some concern. Woops!
Oh I love a wedding, and I love the uniqueness of yours. ...and Gilles comments, well , just had me laughing at the "pass the salt babe" comment and in tears.at the quote form Jacques de Bourbon Busset, : "I have known the grace of living a great shared love."
Love the music, love your dress and Aureliens shoes.
Congratulations and a long and happy life together.
A unique wedding for a unique girl...what else?
What great quotes! You've married into a wonderful and loving family and I congratulate you again.
And as the song says, I wish you lots of times of love, companionship and adventure!
Thank you so much Sylvia! I know these wedding posts are getting repetitive. I promise they'll be over soon.
And we are married! The "glitch" of us signing the wrong side of the paper was fixed. Phew!
Oh, for crying out loud! What is it with the French and the friggin' paperwork?!!!!
Ok, so I got the full story...we signed the side of the wedding that was taking place after ours! So I can see why there was concern. Woops!! They managed to fix it which was so nice of them to find a solution because they could've told us no. So, phew!
Hahaha I didn't get to enjoy the reactions to the orchestral "Smell Like Teen Spirit", because it's all about the reactions.
I feel like I'm probably going to miss you in Paris, it sounds like you have your plans set for your quick trip. We need to get you back so we can do a blogger's lunch!
I loved Gilles speech! We were stuck outside halfway most of the time (with our heads peaking in) but I got in at the end.. I reread the speech in the car. :) What an awesome father-in-law.
I loved the boombox touch and the song- such a beautiful, perfect moment and the 1st time I fully saw you! What a beautiful photo to capture it!!
Gilles' and Françoise's garden is so lovely! And what a convenient walk from the Mairie.
I'm glad no one was uncomfortable in the rain. That makes me feel better!
It was lovely meeting you too! I wish I lived closer to Paris so we could hang out again soon!!
F appreciates the compliment. We really liked your beau as well!
Love it! Minus the paperwork hiccough of course... but the rest sounds lovely. Congratulations!!
Thank you Heather! It was quite a day!
love the black and white....and as a long time reader of this here blog can I just say that you have certainly come a long way in a relatively short time...so happy for you both!!
Great idea! I should skip down the streets of the Marais!
I teared up a bit at the speech too - between laughing of course! Bummed I missed the orchestral Smells Like Teen Spirit though. I think I got a defective bubble blower (this is my excuse for why I couldn't manage to produce any bubbles).
I think they were all a little defective, it only worked every few blows, that's why we had the confetti option which also didn't really work because of the rain! I know you were producing bubbles in spirit. : ) Thanks for the extra batch of photos!
When I found your blog I went through and read all of your old posts. Especially loved the posts about the totally weird renter/stalker/clothes stealer. I told my husband the running eoisode when we were grocery shopping the other day. Isn't it something that you think your heart is going to break right out of your chest a few years ago and now you are the happiest you have ever been? My husband and I have been married 14 years (2nd marriages for both and we each brought kids into it) and they are the happiest years of my life. He is the greatest gift I have ever received. I wish you that kind of happiness.
On another note,ever since I realized that I saw you House Hunters International I have been trying to find the episode. My husband also gives me the gift of going to Paris every year and we are going in February and are going to rent an apartment from Adrian Leeds. We want to ask her about buying property in France. We probably can't afford it but we will see. If not, it will be a great memory!!
Thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to read through all of the posts! The sublet situation was insane and super frustrating! I'm glad it ended up working out. I was pretty lucky.
I can't believe it was only two years ago when I thought I'd never find love again and that I was doomed to live alone back at my mom's house. I truly didn't believe anything would work out...but when there's a will there's a way. : ) Thank you for wishing me happiness. I hope to have your happiness after 14 years. Congratulations!
The HHI episode aired a few more times but like you, I can't find it either. We still haven't received our home copy (grrr). Good luck with YOUR apartment hunt! Hopefully you can purchase something. How fancy to have a pied-a-terre à Paris!
Aww! It sounds like such a great sweet ceremony. And how 'French' for there to have been a problem. I would have had a complete breakdown straight away. I'm glad it was straightened out! I can't wait to read about the reception!
Love your wedding story! Congratulations! So happy for you :) May need to interview you for my next book which includes a wedding in Paris!
You got it! Let me know! Thank you so much for your kind comment. : ) Can't wait to see you in September!
You look so pretty! I'm so happy for you. Congratulations to you both.
Thank you so much!! It was a day to remember; perfectly chaotic!
the death of a party.
do you want to take my picture?

Towage claims are on the rise
Dealing with a particularly complex towage claim in the United Arab Emirates last August led to The Shipowners' P&I Club's Offshore team identifying some key trends in its claims data.
The incident is one of many in recent years to involve tugs and barges, as the number of towage claims has risen. This is despite the frequency of overall marine claims remaining broadly steady, according to figures from the club.
In addition, although overall claims have remained static, the cost of claims had increased by 15% by the half-year point in 2017. This is partly because the claims faced by the club have become more complex, with more parties involved, heavily amended contracts and costs such as legal fees rising.
Helping to combat this cost inflation, the club launched CTRL Marine Solutions Ltd in 2015. This company, which is wholly owned by The Shipowners' Club, offers a range of services to members including legal advice authorised by the UK's Solicitors Regulation Authority. This has allowed the club to begin to actually reduce the cost of legal spend by both itself and its members.
However, the club is still faced with an increase in the number of towage claims for the year 2017, with figures to the end of November showing a projected 30% increase on figures from the year before. The issue is even more acute in the Middle East, with the club's Offshore syndicate seeing towage claims more than double over the past four years.
"There's a lot more happening in the Middle East, certainly construction-wise. There are a lot more tugs and barges carrying building aggregates, stone or cement, as well as towing construction materials such as pipes; so there seems to be a lot more towage activity generally," says Alex McCooke, Claims Syndicate Manager – Offshore, The Shipowners' Club.
Although the increase in towage claims is a trend the club is monitoring, the opposite trend has been witnessed in the related area of fixed or floating objects (FFO) claims.
FFO Claims
FFO claims followed a similar path to towage claims in recent years with their frequency rising gradually from 2014 to 2016 across the club as a whole. In the same period, the Offshore syndicate saw FFO claims rise by 29%. However, a careful focus on these claims appears to have paid dividends, with FFO claims in both the club as a whole and the Offshore syndicate expected to fall back markedly in 2017.
Research by The Shipowners' Club, which has tracked the cause of every towage claim over the past two years, has shown that 53% were the result of human error.
McCooke explains: "Often with claims you find they are caused by the weather, a pre-existing defect with cargo, equipment failure, the actions of a third party/the authorities or some other source beyond members' control. Sickness claims, for example, make up one of the largest categories of claims the club pays and these are generally unavoidable.
"In summary, there are lots of reasons why things happen but, on towage claims, 53% of all the claims over a two-year period were caused by an end cause of human error. These were people making mistakes, not properly operating the tug, going too fast, not following the correct manoeuvring procedures, poorly planning their passages, etc. - all factors that could have been avoided. These claims have spurred us on to take further action on this subject."
The club's loss prevention department has issued a dedicated guide for tug and tow operations. This comprehensive guide aims to help assist operators mitigate against such avoidable incidents and has been widely taken up by the club's members around the world.
A USD 1.6 million claim involving an anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel showed how serious the consequences are for failing to adequately compensate for prevailing conditions.
The AHTS was towing an accommodation barge down a channel when the master on board alleged that the steering had malfunctioned and was not responding to starboard helm commands.
The current caused the vessel to drift off the channel towards an offshore installation, known as a jacket, on her port side.
The master managed to use the engines on the AHTS to avoid vessel contact with the jacket. However, the tow wire came into contact with the jacket legs. As the barge was carried away, the tow wire pulled the jacket over to one side and misaligned it from the vertical.
The AHTS had to pay out more of her towline and alter her course to eventually clear the towline and the barge off the jacket.
The investigation that followed revealed no equipment failures and checks on the steering system showed nothing wrong. It did find that the towline had been too long for the navigable water available and was also under tension while no attempt was made to use the bow thruster.
The investigation concluded that the influence of the current and the tow wire under tension were considered as the two factors that hampered the vessel's turn.
The incident highlighted the severity of the consequences for failing to adequately compensate for prevailing conditions and the importance of proper tug handling, including an initial and ongoing assessment of the length of tow being used.
The club has also published a range of case studies relating to the effects and consequences of mistakes, and how the club is handling claims arising from towage operations. The club has aimed to keep these publications concise, and easy to read and digest, using plain, simple language and clear guidance.
McCooke says: "Sometimes we hear that the on-board procedures can become so extensive that fully complying with them becomes a difficult task for the crew. In some claims, the crew have commented that a tug might have a whole bank of lever arch fi les on the bridge which are always being added to. If they reviewed everything each time, they feel they might never get the job done."
He continues: "The risk is that some captains or crew find it too much and make up their own shorthand procedures for operating the vessel. With our guidance, we are trying to bring it back to basics. We don't want the fundamental points to get lost. So our guidance is user-friendly and anyone can pick it up, regardless of their level of prior understanding. We have had good feedback, with tug masters telling us that they and their crew are reviewing the materials and even keeping some on the bridge or using it in training."
Although the Shipowners' Club has taken a lead in producing measures to help reduce towage claims, it is quick to recognise that all parts of the insurance industry have a role to play in making sure clients have the correct loss prevention information and right insurance coverage.
McCooke explains: "Brokers can help in at least two ways. The first thing is they can pass on or highlight all the club's relevant advice, based on a member's operation. Brokers receive regular communications containing loss prevention advice, including case studies from claims on recent incidents and how the club has dealt with them and how members may avoid them, etc."
Because towage is such a complex area, it is vital that the myriad liabilities have been assessed correctly. What is being towed? Who owns it? Who is doing the towing? What are the contractual issues?
McCooke identifies: "The key thing is that people have the right cover in place with the right limits, the right exclusions, the right deductibles. And because it is so complicated, that's where a broker can help because they are dealing with policies for different members, so they build up that knowledge bank. They know what is normal and what is required."

Quintessential Kenyon's foreign correspondent, Jodi Ann Wang '20, now studying in Beijing, China, for the spring semester, reflects on her fall semester abroad in Ghana.
A Medio Camino has become an outlet for Spanish-speaking students to connect with stories from a different perspective in a time when there is a growing Latin American population both at Kenyon and in the U.S.
I had thought of college as this place where you go and take classes and work in laboratories and do other serious, academic stuff. And while all of that is true, the reality of coming to Kenyon is that you are joining a community of people who are also actively choosing to spend time atop this hill in rural Ohio.

Like all Strathmore Speaker Series events, this presentation is free and open to the public.
About Jeff Kramer (by Jeff Kramer)
Jeff Kramer, who is trying to sound as if someone else is writing his bio, is extremely flattered (and a little confused) about being invited to speak at the Strathmore Speaker Series. Jeff is not a resident of Strathmore, nor is he technically "employed."
Jeff is a former newspaper humorist, known locally for his columns in the Syracuse Post-Standard and the Syracuse New Times. Before relocating to Syracuse in 2003, he wrote a humor column for The Orange County (Calif.) Register and reported for the Los Angeles Times and The Boston Globe. Newspapers were compilations of news, opinion and other information that were printed and folded together for mass distribution.
Jeff has written and produced three stage plays in the Syracuse area. He teaches ESL to an ever-diminishing number of new Americans as a volunteer at Interfaith Works on James Street.
A native of Seattle, Wash., the 56-year-old interloper lives in Jamesville with his wife, Leigh. The couple have two teen daughters, Miranda and Lily, who do not share their Dad's passion for the Boston Red Sox and the Seattle Mariners. As such, his communications with them are sparse. Jeff and Leigh also have three shelter dogs, Larry, Rondo and Gigi.
Jeff's hobbies are cycling and patronizing Central New York's excellent health care infrastructure. He thanks his friend Strathmore resident Randy Marshall for suggesting him as a speaker.

The start of new EPL campaign was much anticipated as fans all around the world were eager to see what the new managers of the top clubs had to offer. The start of the season began with Champions Leicester City taking on the new boys on the block, Hull City. It wasn't the kind of start Ranieri was hoping for as his side lost two goals to one, too early to judge their run of the season? I'd say yes. Nigerian international, Ahmed Musa clearly a great addition to the squad providing width. Shinji Okazaki was missed dearly as his famous link up play with target man Vardy was clearly needed.
The Tigers swept the Foxes away on opening day.
Much talk after the game about what happened actually before the game as Pep Guardiola left England No. 1 Joe Hart out of his 11. A clear statement made by the Spaniard to the Board that he needs a sweeper keeper. Kolarov was deployed to CB, a regular Pep fashion one would say, switching things up already. The fans will be expecting more surprises. Man of the match easily was English winger Sterling, who made life hard all afternoon for the Sunderland defence. It was a hard fought win for the Manchester side as they had to wait for a late gift by Paddy McNair as he got on the end of Navas cross putting the ball at the back of his own net. The game finished 2-1 courtesy of an early opener by Aguero from the spot, a Defoe equaliser and a late own goal to hand a debut win for one of the new managers in the EPL.
Come rain, come sunshine Jermaine gets it done.
On to the next game was a sunny afternoon as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mourinho had a dream start of the season. The former Swedish captain drilled a shot from at least 20 yards to score the third goal for his club as Mourinho started his new Campaign with a 3-1 win over Bournemoth.
Super Sunday really as Arsenal lost by 4 goals to 3 at home to Liverpool equalling the highest number of goals scored in an EPL opening game. It was a stunning performance by the Brazilian midfielder Coutinho as he registered a man of the match performance in less than 70 minutes registering 2 goals and 2 assists before being taken off.
After a missed penalty, Walcott fired home the opener for Arsenal as they bossed through the first half, something special had to come up for the Anfield side and indeed it came as Coutinho cancelled out Walcott's opener with a sublime free kick to open the floodgates. Klopp clearly gave a clear message to his attackers during the break as they pressed the inexperienced Arsenal centre back pair as they went on to lead 4-1 before Chamberlain and Chambers pulled a second and a third for the north London team on EPL opening day.
Another dream start for a new manager making his EPL debut. Conte would very theatrical at the sidelines as he watched Diego Costa drill a right foot strike just outside the box after a passing header from Belgian striker, Batschuayi. Both teams were very compact and were always looking to catch each other on the counter. A very well organised match on a Monday night as West Ham defender James Collins cancelled out an Eden Hazard penalty goal with a half volley after a poorly defended corner by the Blues. In the end it was all smiles for the Italian as his substitutes paid off in the closing stages of the game.
Many would argue that he sould have gone off moments before the goal but the Spanish forward couldn't care less.
Hard fought victories for the new managers in their opening game, well that's a big Welcome to the BPL I would say. No game should be taking lightly and every game would be a battle. Fans around will be itching to see which manager loses first. We might find out next weekend, I'll still be here for the analysis.

Q: True or False: If $f>0$ is integrable on $[a,b]$ then $\sqrt{f}$ is integrable I'm having trouble proving or finding a counterexample for the following statement:

If $f>0$ is integrable on $[a,b]$ then $\sqrt{f}$ is integrable

We're using the Riemann integral definition:
If $f$ is integrable on $[a,b]$ then given $\epsilon>0$ there exists a $\delta>0 \ $ s.t. if $P$ is a partition of $[a,b]$ and $\lambda(P)<\delta$ then $|S-I|<\epsilon \ $ (where $S$ is the Riemann sum and $I$ is the integral's value).
I tried using the fact that $\sqrt{x}$ is uniformly continuous on $(0,\infty)$ which means that if $f$'s oscillation gets very small, so does $\sqrt{f}$'s, but I wasn't able to rigorously prove it.
Is this statement actually true? is the uniformly continuous angle of any help?
Much appreciated.

A: By the Riemann-Lesbesgue criterion, we have that a function $g$ on $[a,b]$ is Riemann-integrable iff it is bounded and it's set of discontinuities has measure zero. So that should get it figured out for ya.

A: I will write it here, and if its wrong, I will delete it.
Let $g=\sqrt{f}$, we have that $f>0$, hence $g$ is monotonic, using theorem, that if you have a monotonic function on close an bounded interval, then monotonic function is integrable.

Sprinter Vans Recalled for Faulty Doors
February 25, 2015 • by Staff
Photo courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is recalling 5,586 2015 model-year Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans because their doors may be difficult to open following a major frontal collision, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports.
The recall is set to get under way in March. It involves vans manufactured last year, from July 1 to Oct. 14. The abutting wedge, a component attached to the door jam to make opening the door easier after a frontal crash, may have been installed incorrectly, NHTSA said.
Sprinter dealers will check the installation of the abutting wedge and make any needed repairs. There will be no charge for the service.
Vehicle owners can reach Sprinter customer service at (877) 762-8267.

This white mini is my 4th (!!!! I know...) slip skirt. I have the mini in all 3 colors and a midi in white. I love pairing them for many fun and versatile looks. The fabric is great. I think one of the biggest selling points for me when it comes to MiMu is the consistently great quality of fabric in all garments. Another winner!!!
The shape is absolutely perfect for a knee length skirt! I was actually surprised how good it looked on, given it's such a simple skirt. Super flattering. Just wish it wasn't so see-through! Maybe you'd consider doing the white in a different fabric? I know it's an easy fix with layering but sometimes I don't want to have to wear a slip underneath everything (especially while breastfeeding!) In any case, I still love love lovvvve x.

All Bars To Be Shut Down In Kisumu On Election Day – Abala Wanga
All bars, nightclubs and entertainment joints in Kisumu County will cease operations midnight on August 8, 2022 to allow residents to prepare for the General Election.
Kisumu County's City Manager Abala Wanga made the announcement on Thursday citing that the establishments will only resume operations from 5 pm on August 9, after conclusion of the voting exercise.
Other businesses, such as eateries, restaurants, malls and markets, Wanga said, will not be exempted from the directive that seeks to mobilise voters in the region to take to the ballot.
"On August 9, the whole county's business activities will be closed until the time that voting ends. So as early as midnight of August 8, all bars and activities of any kind will be closed," Wanga told Citizen Digital.
"I will issue a circular on the same as soon as possible under powers vested upon me as a city manager under the Urban Areas Act."
According to Wanga, bodaboda and matatu operators in the county will not be bound to conform to the directive.
"The only people we will leave are the bodaboda and matatus that will ferry people to the polling centres. This will allow free movement of voters on August 9 in terms of mobilisation of voters within the city without much disruption," he said.

The startup Hyper9 (in a previous life InovaWave) released last week the second version of its flagship product.
After over one year of development, started after the company changed its identity from InovaWave to Hyper9, the first product of this reborn startup is ready.
The startup Hyper9 (formerly InovaWave) is not ready yet to launch its search engine for virtual infrastructures, but continues to hire talented professionals.
The application virtualization startup Trigence doesn't exist anymore. Starting this month the company is called AppZero and has a completely new market strategy.
Hyper9, the startup born from the ashes of InovaWave, is finally approaching its relaunch day.
The US startup VKernel, focused on performance monitor and chargeback, has just launched the first beta of a free tool called SearchMyVM.
