Things might not be looking good for Tonto Dikeh right now as her ex husband, Churchill Olakunle, has filed a petition to the Inspector General of Police over her illegal sale of his SUV.
Churchill lawyers submitted a petition to the office of the IG of police where he claims that he acquired a Toyota Prado SUV worth N22M for his organisation, Big Church Group a few years ago.
He went on to reveal that after Tonto Dikeh welcomed their son, Andre(King), the car was then converted to home use. However, after their divorce, Tonto Dikeh allegedly forged the paper documents of the car and sold it.

Q: Google Scripting Assistance Im trying to setup a form that will email me peoples responses.
This is the current script:
function nl2br_(input_string){
  return input_string.replace(/(\r\n|\r|\n)/g,'
');
}

function contactUsMailer(e) {
  //  This script e-mails the contents of a form to a given recipient
  //  The form must have three fields in the order of: name; e-mail address; and message
  //  You must change the recipient variable below to your e-mail address
  try {
    var recipient = 'myemail@hotmail.com';
    var timestamp = e.values[0];
    var username = e.values[1];
    var option = e.values[2];
    var details = e.values[3];
    var body = username+' sent the following message: '+option ;
    var bodyHTML = '\

'+username+' '+option+' below are the details
\

'+nl2br_(details)+'
\

Sent by the Steegle.com Contact Us Form Google Apps Script
';
    var advancedArgs = {htmlBody:bodyHTML , replyTo:username};
    MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, "Contact Us Form", body, advancedArgs);
  } catch(e){
    MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, "Error - Contact Us Form", e.message);
  }
}

This is how it looks when I get an email:

var timestamp - not important ignore it
var username - their username
var option - this is the "issue"
var details - detail of problem

I would really like it to look something like this:
Username: "username here"

Issue: "issue here"

Details:
        "wall of text for details here"

I've been at this for over an hour and a half and I can't get it to look anything remotely like what what is shown above :/

A: I had a similar situation and this is how I solved it.
I created a HTML Output with a table inside and then Sent this as My Email Body.
var log = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput()
 log.append('
');
 log.append('
	 Username:  	' + usernameVAR +'
');
 log.append('
	 ISSUE 	' + issueVAR +'
');
 log.append('
	 DETAILS 	' + detailsVAR +'
');
 log.append('
');
var htmlContent = log.getContent();

MailApp.sendEmail(YOUR EMAIL GOES HERE ,"TITLE OF EMAIL", "SUBJECT LINE",{htmlBody:htmlContent} ) //Text as HTML

Good Luck!

And you can be you and I'll get to stay me"
This Rachael Yamagata song played tonight and it reminded me of couples in therapy and then it reminded me of myself at times. It feels safer not to mention anything, not to make ripples in any relationship. But that's such a lie! It's so much more genuinely safe to have REAL relationships. The kind where you can actually be yourself and the other person can be themselves. And the real selves may drive each other mad sometimes, but it's all out on the table. All the frustration and hurt is on the table as well as all the love. Change is a scary thing. Every one of my clients wants so deeply for life to be different, but all of them have some sense of fear that if they try, they may still be unhappy or that the trying is too painful/scary/different. I get it. I hate change, it takes me a really long time to adjust to things. And most times, I have a terrible attitude about it. I'm pessimistic, thinking of the worst that could happen (anxiety). And when things don't go smoothly, I blame someone or something. Then when that doesn't do the trick, I blame myself for being weak, emotional, or scared of life. Yeesh, self disclosure...to this unknown corner of the internet. Those last words, "I'll get to stay me", they sound so comfortable. But just because we are comfortable, doesn't mean we are being real. It's actually pretty UNcomfortable to be real nowadays. I think part of me is always resisting change or directions from others, you know that thing where someone tells you to do something, even lightly suggests or tiptoes around it and it's automatically like, "yeah, no", just because someone else said it? That's me 100%. Unless you are someone I really look up to and then I will believe anything and everything you say. I'm just writing over here, feeling really thankful that I have a handful of people in my life who I do feel comfortable enough to be myself, admit to my mistakes, and make ripples. The only reason I know I can do this is because I've been brave enough to risk it and then in turn, these people have responded with acceptance and understanding. Sometimes even praise. It feels so good to be your ugly, imperfect self that you started hiding back in elementary school because you thought it wasn't cool and to have people say, "I actually love that about you". But they can never say that to you if you don't risk it! You may be rejected. People might turn away saying, "You're too honest" or, "You're not fitting into my idea of you". And of course that hurts. But you try again. And you find the people who are worth showing. Those are the people who say, "Hey, you're kinda weird, and it's kind of refreshing, I think I'll be weird with you!". And that's a match. Thank you husband, sister, brother, best friends, parents, select in-laws, kids, and pets who give me the space to be myself. It's been a journey, one in which I will always be on. Being brave enough to own who you are and your emotions is something I will always respect in others and strive for. That's why therapy clients are as brave as they come.
I'm sitting here in my bed, wondering why I even have a blog. It's basically my journal I guess (that I never write in). Life after grad school is well...boring, very adult, a bit lonely, freedom, nostalgia, and good self-care. It's so many things. Some things are good, like having free time to focus on my health, mental sanity, and husband. But other parts are less good, like not being around people, not constantly learning new information, and having more feelings of responsibility. Even though I have much less "stuff" to do, I feel more pressure on me to make money, get licensed, and make this degree useful. At first, watching hours of t.v., having alone time, and reading my choice of books was great, but now it's pretty boring and lonely. I will say though, getting paid to do therapy is a very nice change.
Anyway, I obviously have mixed emotions about it and could keep writing for a few pages on that.
Life lately has been good. Ed and I have started a new diet that might kill me. It's no sugar, no flour, and low fat. It literally cuts out everything good and tasty. Every day we eat greek yogurt, vegetables, fruits minus bananas, chicken, and the occasional wild rice or couscous. Also boiled eggs. That may not sound so horrible, but day after day, I'm going crazy. I'm literally having dreams about sugar. Two nights ago in my dream, there was a great party outside on the lawn with a bonfire and dancing with all my family and best friends. I stopped by in a bakery shop to order some treats for the party (this was during the day when the party was just getting started). Then the owner of the shop, a sweet old lady, offered me the bowl to lick. She had just made some cake batter. I gladly accepted and licked the bowl clean. Then she kept offering me bowl after bowl: cookie dough, brownie batter, even caramel for making caramel apples. I COULD NOT stop. I saw the party outside and by this time it was pitch black outside, I was missing the whole party, but I couldn't tear myself away from the treats. When I finally pulled myself away from the bakery and went to the party, it started raining and everyone ran away.
I won't even get into the dream I had last night about being at Molly's, one of my favorite places to eat. Yikes, I never knew how much I loved sugar and it's literally in everything! The diet is working so far, so I'm keeping with it. Ed is a champ and is doing it with me to be supportive. He obviously has nothing to lose in the body fat department, but it's so much easier when your spouse is on board too.
In other news, we are planning an awesome trip with our friends to California soon. I can't wait to sink my feet in the sand and laugh until I cry. Also, Tess is coming home from her mission! Now I know I shouldn't be too excited about this because she wasn't supposed to be coming home until December and she's having really painful health problems, but I'm actually so happy!
I started a quilt. Yes, I'm that bored.
I'm reading books. Yes, I'm that bored.
I'm going to the rec center every day and doing insanity, piyo, and u-jam classes...so good!
Ed is still working like 5 jobs and trying to finish his thesis.
Kona is more cuddly and comes in between us each night to get pet, purr, and stays there for about an hour while we are falling asleep.
Lots of my friends just had babies or are pregnant. To say I'm baby hungry is an understatement, but I'm still deathly afraid of being pregnant. Oh and that being a mom thing seems really hard too.
I'm writing all around the map, but what I really wanted to do was record how I'm feeling at this time right now, trying to be more mindful. So right this moment, at 11:18 PM, I'm hungry, a tad stressed about my sessions tomorrow, I feel happy about making progress in my goals, I'm giddy about talking to Tess, and I'm glancing at Kona sleep at the end of the bed wishing I was her.
I wrote this as a draft while mourning the end of my masters degree.
But really, who knew graduating with my masters degree would be so emotional? I have cried just about every other day in the shower when I think about my cohort and how much the MFT program has meant to me. I'm just overwhelmed with the feeling of ending this and having to move on, knowing it will never be the same again. The last two years have been the best years of my life. I have grown more than I could ever know and learned lessons that I couldn't have learned any other way. The people I have spent the last two years with will forever be special to me. Today after I got home from our closing banquet, I just cried. And when we all stood up to be honored and everyone was clapping, and I looked around the room and my whole cohort standing. I locked eyes with a few and had this overwhelming feeling of joy and love. I love them like I've never loved a group of people. Each person means something different to me and has taught me something important about being a human. Words don't describe how grateful I am for the blessing to have been in this program with these people at this time.
Thank you, 2013 for making my life Hell on Earth some of the time so that I could grow. The only title appropriate for this post was the F word in all caps, but I knew I would offend too many people. It was really hard a lot of the time, but I also experienced some of the most special moments that will stay in my heart forever. My friends are the best I've ever had and I know they are the friends I will have for life. I realized how absolutely lucky I am to have Ed as my sweetheart and saw him do great things this year as well. It's always better looking back, so now that it's over, I can say 2013 was rewarding and worth it. I'm usually really nostalgic and never want the year to change, but hey, I hate 3's, love 4's, and I'm ready for a new theme aside from the F word! Bring on 2014!
Marriage has officially ruined me. I haven't been to the dentist in 4 years and I guess that's what I get. But also, thanks a lot Utah, I obviously need fluoride in my water.
I'm going back next Friday to have my entire mouth numbed and drilled into.
As for now, I will eat as many sweets as possible on Thanksgiving to get more of my money's worth with these cavities.
And what's worse? Ed only had 3. Not that I wanted him to have more because all together this is costing over $1,000, but I am definitely embarrassed especially since he is the cavity king.
I realize there could be way bigger things to complain about concerning health, so I'm pretty blessed to only have 9 cavities and otherwise be healthy.
But seriously, pure panic when they told me. I was hoping to not have one.
Luckily, they promised me laughing gas, so that should be fun.
One other random note, who has watched Dexter? We finished the 4th season last night and we are so torn up about it with no one to talk to.
First world problems right? I love life and I'll be less whiny from now on.
In other news, a kid in Alabama killed a wild boar weighing 1,050 pounds...I love my country.
I'm literally freaking out about going to dentist tomorrow morning. There are a lot of reasons why I'm scared, but I just needed to write it down somewhere. I may have my first cavity and the thought of the numbing shot makes me want to shrivel up and hide. I have this thing with shots and needles, like I'm gagging right now. If I have a cavity, I will most likely cry. And fabulous, I have 4 clients after that.
In other news, we are going to Georgia for Christmas and I can't explain how happy that makes my heart. I haven't been back to my home since I started the MFT program! I'm practically a new person now and I've just gone through one of the best/craptastic years of my life. It's all I can do now to not give up on life and just lie in my bed waiting for the day that my plane leaves. Of course, I will have to come back, but it will be the easiest semester. Maybe the most stressful because of the big question of employment, but overall easy in comparison. I'm so excited, I'm even skipping over Thanksgiving in my mind. I need to sit in my bedroom, I need to play on my piano, and I need to see my family.
Hey, I proposed my thesis and I passed. Now to write the rest of it and be done with academic research papers forever!
Nothing else is new. I love my clients. I love people's problems. I love people's personalities. I especially love loving clients who I didn't expect to love so much.
Okay goodnight. Praying for no cavities.

What does Social Enterprise Scotland do?
Leaflet explaining in detail all the aspects of our work.
This leaflet is designed for members, potential members and supporters, to explain in detail and clarify exactly what we do as an organisation.
It's intended to demonstrate our role across Scotland and the value for money that we believe we provide as Scotland's social enterprise membership organisation. Download the leaflet above or read the text below.
Social Enterprise Scotland exists to promote and build Scotland's social enterprise movement - we're all about the big national picture, as well as local support and development.

We hold a wide range of policy events across Scotland each year, bringing together social entrepreneurs with local elected members, council officers and other local leaders (in 2012 we were in Helmsdale in Sutherland, Stirling, Dumfries & Galloway, Moray, Fife and Argyll & Bute). This is co-ordinated with local networks and events to avoid duplication.
We are regularly involved in partnership with other local and national events, including the annual Social Investment conference, organised by one of our members.

Each year we also host a number of international delegations from countries as diverse as China, Korea, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden.
Social Enterprise Scotland is an organisation, not just leading social enterprises, but also uniting and representing our sector organisations under one umbrella. We do all this with just 5 members of staff, plus our 14 Board members and an active, diverse and experienced membership. We believe that we offer good value for money and provide an essential public service for social enterprises in Scotland.

I purchased a customized sectional, 3 house furnitures & a from Randy. The was delivered & set up and everything came out beautiful! I began to buy 2 customized tufted storage space seats & a barrel swiveling equip seat 2-3 weeks following. I conveyed with Randy by way of text, sent him pictures & dimensions. Easy communication. I highly recommend this place for your customized needs.
Could not think how much better the prices was for the same furniture I was taking a look at right here as opposed to other areas with their what are known as sale prices. The place has more of a stockroom feel into it with plenty to check out. Doesn't appear as well fancy. Maybe this is exactly why the prices are cheaper, unsure. Rich and Dominic provided excellent support and didn't continuously trouble me and so i could meticulously. Recommend. I purchased a house and in my child and ended up getting a new house furniture for me personally along with a .

If you have been around the manufacturing industry for any amount of time, you have likely heard someone talk about discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing.
You may have even wondered if they are different ways of describing the same thing. Rest assured that they are not.
Discrete manufacturing is different than and distinguishable from process manufacturing. The two types are about as different from one another as an automobile is from a can of paint or a bicycle from a cupcake.
As you have probably guessed by now, the most obvious difference between discrete and process manufacturing is the way the product is made. Discrete manufacturers create finished goods – automobiles and bicycles, for example – that could be made up of parts assembled using screws and nuts and can be taken apart and used on something else. Process manufacturers, on the other hand, make something that can't be broken down into individual parts – paint and cupcakes – because the separate ingredients are mixed together in a "process" that cannot be reversed.
If you want to get a clear picture of discrete manufacturing, think about a vehicle assembly line. As the car or truck moves down the line, workers (maybe even robots) keep adding parts and components to it. Some of the components were manufactured and assembled elsewhere and brought in for final assembly. But no matter how many parts are made and assembled—and there are 30,000 parts in the typical car—they are distinct from one another.
Now, look into the future. The worn out, fully depreciated automobile ends up in a junkyard. People needing replacement parts for their current vehicles go to the junkyard to find them. The guy who owns or manages the business removes the part from one of the old cars and sells it as a replacement part. In theory, he could remove practically any usable part and sell it so that someone else can re-use it.
Of course, there are many other examples of discrete manufacturing, but the assembly line and scrap yard show it at its basic level. Its most salient feature is that the final product—whether it's the automobile or its sub-assemblies—is manufactured sequentially and requires sophisticated planning to ensure that the creation and assembly of the product are completed in the correct order and that all of the parts are made to close tolerances, so they fit together perfectly.
For the most part, process manufacturing occurs in bulk quantities. Pharmaceuticals, paints, foods, and beverages are prime examples of products that go through a chemical conversion based on a formula or process. Unlike discrete manufacturing, the individual parts that make up the final product are not easily identified after they have been processed. And the materials that make up the product cannot be disassembled and re-used in another manner.
Process manufacturing comes from recipes or formulas. If the final product – a chocolate cupcake, for instance – is not sweet enough, the baker will add more sugar or chocolate to the next batch. Process manufacturing can be viewed as being more complex since it is based on transforming individual ingredients into a final product. But it is also characterized as being less defect-oriented than discrete manufacturing, so there are fewer interruptions in the production runs.
Discrete manufacturers assemble materials at each work center individually. They follow a prescribed route that details each step, or operation, in the production process and the order in which these steps must be performed.
For example, a discrete manufacturer might make the frame of a bicycle at Work Station #1, add the pedals at #2, the handlebars at #3, and so on. A bill of materials is created that links each component to a specific work station. After the materials are used, a worker will check them off.
Process manufacturers typically add most or all of their raw materials at one time to create a batch. They have very little use for a bill of materials or routing sheets.
Customers often participate in the design and manufacturing of discrete engineered-to-order products. Complex products often require a high level of collaboration between manufacturers and their customers, especially in the design phase of the process. The finished product can seem like a moving target as difficulties are encountered, and changes are made on the fly during manufacturing.
To prevent constant confusion and damaging setbacks, product information, design specifications, and engineering changes must flow freely and swiftly between the company and the customer.

Taking action to tackle noisy neighbours
As part of Noise Action Week (23-27 May), Hackney Council is launching an extended out-of-hours Noise Service.
The Noise Service investigates complaints about noise caused by factors ranging from barking dogs and building sites to loud music from nightclubs, pubs and parties, and while the day service operates Monday to Friday 8am-8pm, in response to residents concerns and the rise in late-night noise support that the summer ushers in, the night service has been extended by an extra ten hours per week.
Residents and businesses can now contact the team between 8pm Thursday to 2am Friday; from 8pm Friday to 5am Saturday; from 9pm Saturday to 5am Sunday; and from 6.30pm Sunday to 2am Monday.
In addition to the extended hours, the Council has increased the number of teams investigating night noise nuisance at the weekends, and will have two additional night-duty officers. New powers have also been introduced, and the teams will now be able to issue Fixed Penalty Notices to anyone who has received a warning notice about late-night excessive noise but has not taken the actions set out within the warning to rectify.
Councillor Sophie Linden, Cabinet Member for Crime, Sustainability and Customer Services at the Council, says: "The extended hours of the Noise Service, coupled with the new powers the teams will be using, clearly demonstrate our commitment to protecting the peace and quiet of our residents. However, this initiative is not only about taking action against noisy neighbours – it's also about educating residents and businesses about noise nuisance, and encouraging them to be more considerate to the needs of their neighbours."

Identification and characterization of Src SH3 ligands from phage-displayed random peptide libraries.
Sparks AB , Quilliam LA , Thorn JM , Der CJ , Kay BK .
We have used the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain to screen two phage-displayed random peptide libraries, each containing 2 x 10(8) unique members, and have identified a series of high affinity peptide ligands. The peptides possess similar proline-rich regions, which yield a consensus Src SH3-binding motif of RPLPPLP. We have confirmed this motif by screening a phage-displayed peptide library biased for SH3 ligands and identifying the same consensus sequence. Binding studies using synthetic peptides suggest that the RPLPPLP motif is important for SH3 binding and confers specificity for the Src SH3 domain, and that residues which flank the motif may also contribute to binding. Peptides that contain the RPLPPLP motif compete Src, but not Abl or phospholipase C gamma, SH3 interactions with SH3-binding proteins from cell lysates (IC50 = 1-5 microM). Furthermore, RPLPPLP-related peptides are able to accelerate progesterone-induced maturation of Xenopus laevis oocytes. A similar acceleration has been observed in oocytes treated with activated, but not normal, Xenopus Src, suggesting the possibility that the peptides are able to antagonize the negative regulation of Src activity by Src SH3 in vivo.

People are fleeing the Bay Area. But they might not be gone for long

People are fleeing the Bay Area. But they might not be...

Shortly after Erica Johnston and her husband learned they were expecting a child, their best friends moved from San Francisco to Austin, Texas.
Johnston and her husband began to wonder whether they should follow suit. Rent would be half the price for a larger place. They could be closer to friends. The Texas city would be a more affordable place to raise a child.
Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, and, six months later, raging wildfires brought unsafe air quality. "The last few weeks, especially with the fires, we can't even take our daughter on walks," Johnston said.
The combination of crises made their decision for them. With no real reason to remain in San Francisco and remote work encouraged by Johnston's employer, Airbnb, they decided to move to Austin, too.
"It's such a strange time for San Francisco," she said. "There's no sense in me paying the rent."
Just like Johnston, most other Bay Area escapees have left because the coronavirus pandemic, shelter-in-place rules and wildfires have amped up the region's space constraints and high cost of living, while minimizing many of the cultural and career reasons that motivate people to bear with the downsides.
Some of those leaving are young college graduates moving home to live with their parents to save money, or college students studying from home. Some young workers in tech or other corporate jobs in the region, mostly under 35, have decided to move with friends to places like Los Angeles, Montana or even New Hampshire, embracing the flexibility of remote work.

And a final large group are parents like Johnston, many of them also working in the tech industry, who have relocated within California or across the country for more space and a lower cost of living.
But this exodus may not be permanent. Of the more than 20 people who shared anecdotes for this story, more than half said they are considering returning to the Bay Area when the pandemic ends, although they do not know when that may be or what that will look like.
Precise information about population shifts in the Bay Area may not be available until after the release of 2020 census data. But more than 50 people responded to queries from The Chronicle to share their stories about moving, and reports from real estate and moving companies indicate a transformative shift, even if it cannot be measured precisely.

Bay Area hotels are hurting. Oddly, wildfires may help
Bold S.F. waterfront proposal on controversial site: 850 homes...
The number of people seeking price estimates to move out of the Bay Area was 46% higher this year than in June 2019 for Unigroup, which owns moving companies United Van Lines and Mayflower. Other moving companies, including U-Haul and Winter Moving and Storage, have also reported increased demand for trucks and moving services in the region.
The effect appears most dramatic in San Francisco proper. Rents have dropped between 14% and 15% year-over-year for one- and two-bedroom units in the city, and homes listed for sale have skyrocketed 96% in San Francisco, dramatically higher than every other metropolitan area but New York, according to data from Zillow, the real estate site. (It is not clear how much of that is due to people moving out of the region or within it; Realtors had reported high demand this summer from people moving from San Francisco and Silicon Valley to the North and East Bay.)
San Francisco's "demand score," or the relative interest in San Francisco sale listings compared to other markets on Realtor.com, has dropped 83 points since January, from 89 to 6 on a 100-point scale. The level of interest is by far the lowest it has been since at least September 2016. Average listing prices, which peaked at $2.75 million in January, have since fallen to $1.9 million — about where they were in 2017 and 2018, but significantly below 2019's levels.

Nationally, 20% of Americans say they have relocated or know someone who relocated since the beginning of the pandemic, according to a June Pew Research Center poll. The effects of this moving trend on the housing market are most pronounced in the San Francisco area, Zillow researchers said.
Here are some portraits of those choosing to move that emerged from The Chronicle's reporting.
Back home with the parents: The first wave of the exodus began when Bay Are colleges and universities canceled in-person classes, and a significant number of students moved back in with their parents.
University of San Francisco fourth-year student Tori Hunt lived in a third-floor walk-up apartment in the Inner Richmond during the school year, but she moved in with family in Roseville after USF went remote.
"I would love to come back and be there, but paying $1,700-plus a month if I don't absolutely have to feels unnecessary," she said. Because most colleges are remote this year, most of those students will not return for the foreseeable future.
Cross-country adventures: Recent graduates and young, newly remote workers who are mostly renters make up another portion of Bay Area escapees. More than 52% of people ages 20-29 are now living with their parents, the highest rate since the Great Depression, according to a Sept. 4 Pew Research survey. Around 10% of adults nationwide between the ages of 20 and 29 say they moved because of the coronavirus pandemic, the most of any age group, according to a June Pew Research poll.
Many are moving in with friends from college and planning rural adventures far from San Francisco.
Nikita Ramoji, a 22-year-old recent graduate working in tech, plans to leave the Bay Area this month to live with friends for as long as her company continues to allow remote work. She and her friends are deciding between places in Oregon, Nevada, Washington and Utah as a destination for an indefinite period of time — at least through the end of the year.
"I would definitely prefer for the pandemic to end and to be able to live the life I would have otherwise, but given the reality, I'm trying to make the best of it in a safe way," Ramoji said.
It's not just tech workers making these temporary moves. Charley Locke, a story producer for Pop-Up Magazine, and her boyfriend left their Oakland apartment at the end of August. They plan to move across the country to Massachusetts in October for the foreseeable future, in part to be closer to her boyfriend's family.
"Living in a small apartment has been really tough over the last six months," she said, describing her frustration with little moments, like finding space by sitting on a chair between the wall and the bed.
"I always imagined myself building a life in the Bay Area, but it feels increasingly untenable to do that," she said, adding: "In some ways, the pandemic is prompting an internal reckoning."

Saving money, and sanity: Some young workers have also made more permanent moves. The high rent and cramped spaces drove out San Francisco tech recruiter Lucy Wu, who has gone from living in a 400-square-foot apartment to a 1,400-square-foot one near Pasadena in Southern California.
The additional space has worked wonders for her mental health, she said. "Everything that was appealing about the city was gone, so it was an easy decision to move out," she added.
Countless others have left the Bay Area for mental health reasons as well. When LinkedIn employee Sahil Handa learned he could work remotely, he put most of his possessions in storage and booked a one-way ticket to Hawaii.
"Probably one of the best decisions I took, and honestly, I'm not missing San Francisco too much, especially not the tech bros, high rents and the weather," he said.
Uprooting family: Families with children have also left the region over the last few months, and though they too are motivated by space and cost constraints, many said they are accelerating already-discussed plans to leave anywhere from one to five years into the future.
So why move now? Historically low interest rates caused by the pandemic-induced economic crisis have made home ownership a more affordable financial proposition for most families. And those that have lingered because they love San Francisco's arts and food scenes now see only the problems.
"All the things that we love about the city are just gone right now," said Michelle Lai, a 16-year resident of the Mission District who moved south to a house in Capitola (Santa Cruz County) in mid-July.
She and her husband had discussed moving out of San Francisco with their young son for some time, but "everything just accelerated" because of the pandemic and the possibility for remote work, she said.
"It really just put our plans in fast forward," said Johnston, the Airbnb worker relocating to Texas.
And while she and her husband's planned move to Austin is technically for just one year for now, "this is probably going to be permanent," she added.
That's a common thread for those leaving the Bay Area: embracing the ambiguity of life during the pandemic and accepting that the temporary may blur into the permanent.

This year's village carnival will be held on Saturday, 15 June 2019.
Everyone was disappointed when we had to cancel the 'Lighting the Christmas Tree' event & Fireworks Display on Thursday, 6 December due to wet and stormy weather.
The Christmas tree, however, was one of the best in recent years and the lights gave a festive feel to the village square.
Thanks to Gorslas Community Council for their kind donation towards the costs and to Cymru Trees, Llanddarog as well as staff from Carmarthen Town Council for installing the tree and lights and their subsequent removal.

Toepfer Transport's monthly multipurpose shipping rate update
The average daily multipurpose time charter rate for a 12,500 dwt/F-type heavy lift vessel fell 10.81 percent month-on-month to USD15,900 at the start of January 2023, according to Toepfer Transport.
Image source: Toepfer
"A recent drop in demand from the traditional breakbulk/neobulk market puts pressure on the time charter rates. While most market stakeholders expect the demand for multipurpose cargo space to increase rapidly later this year, it is yet unclear when exactly all the expected oil and gas and renewables projects finally will be shipped," said Toepfer.
"These uncertainties are flanked by the high number of Covid-19 infections in China, which may have some impact on the steel markets, the production of various goods and on the reliability of port operations."
Toepfer added that the situation was clearly reflected in the assessments its panellists made for the six-month and 12-month forecasts, where some expect the rates will rise in the coming months and others expect the rates to fall. "Only time can tell us who is right," said Toepfer.
December Index - published 6/12/2022
The average daily multipurpose time charter rate for a 12,500 dwt/F-type heavy lift vessel fell 5.75 percent month-on-month to USD17,827 at the start of December 2022.
The decline continues a vein of form seen over the course of the past three months. The analyst expects a steady 6 percent month-on-month decline in charter rates going forwards.
November Index - published 6/11/2022
The average daily multipurpose time charter rate for a 12,500 dwt/F-type heavy lift vessel fell 6.77 percent month-on-month to USD18,915.
The shipbrokers index has fallen roughly 6 percent per month for the past three months, and dipped below USD20,000 per day for the first time in 10 months.
"We believe that this is a healthy trend which could lead to a sustainable rate level that is needed to make the much-needed investments into the multipurpose fleet viable," said Toepfer. It added that the second-hand market remains bullish; ships are still being fixed at high levels showing confidence in the future rate developments.
October Index - published 6/10/2022
Toepfer Transport's October time charter index shows that the average daily multipurpose time charter rate for a 12,500 dwt/F-type heavy lift vessel fell 6.1 percent month-on-month to USD20,289.
The shipbroker and market analyst said that the multipurpose operators "are facing a certain dip in demand from the traditional breakbulk sector, which meets a significant withdrawal of interest from container carriers, especially for large multipurpose units".
It added: "On the other hand, many demanding industrial projects are expected to be moved forward in the next months, which are likely to cause a high utilisation of the more sophisticated ships in the fleet."
September index – published September 7, 2022
In Toepfer Transport's September 2022 time charter index, the average daily multipurpose time charter rate for a 12,500 dwt/F-type heavy lift vessel fell 5.86 percent month on month to USD21,608.
Slipping for the third month in succession, the Germany-headquartered shipbroker and market analyst said the decline was in part due to the European summer slump, and the current political/economic uncertainties. "The almost overheated market faces the inevitable market correction while the demand indicators show that the average charter rates will remain at high levels. As a result, the duration of new charter fixtures gets shorter," said Toepfer.
August index – published August 8, 2022
Shipbroker and industry analyst Toepfer Transport has issued its August 2022 time charter index. The average daily multipurpose time charter rate for a 12,500 dwt/F-type heavy lift vessel fell slightly to USD22,954.
Month on month the rate is down 0.78 percent, and the Hamburg-based broker said that "market participants are still fixing for high levels though pressure begins to rise. The first indicator of the market slowing down are the time charter length and we see a definitive drop there. Most operators are hesitant to commit to these still high rates for a longer period."
Toepfer attributed this to greater macroeconomic uncertainty, something that is expected grow with China now concluding military training at the border of Taiwan.
It added that the "sideways trend" in its index suggests that market participants are still in an overall good mood: "The large investments from countries around the world in renewable energy as well as oil and gas should provide the multipurpose sector with large cargo volumes for the years to come."
July Index: published: July 8, 2022
Toepfer Transport reports that the average daily multipurpose time charter rate for a 12,500 dwt/F-type heavy lift vessel hit USD23,099 in July – up 1.47 percent month on month.
It said that the multipurpose shipping sector is currently driven by a "wait-and-see attitude" even though multipurpose rates stand at an all-time high. The global economy is on the brink of recession. Sentiment across the OECD has been falling for 11 months and is at its lowest ebb since 2009.
"Due to the long lead times for large projects, negative economic trends usually reach the multipurpose market with a certain delay and some indicators give hope that the ongoing surge in demand, especially from the renewables sector, may mitigate some of the upcoming macroeconomic pressure," said Toepfer.
"Facing the uncertainty of when, how long and how hard the recession will hit the market, both the multipurpose second-hand and the newbuilding markets show very low activity. Some owners are still actively promoting their newbuilding ideas but most still have some way to go to turn their plans into effective orders," it added.

Teachers are 'failing to help pupils develop a love of reading'
By Laura Clark, Education Correspondent
Schools are failing to instil their pupils with a lifelong love of reading, Ofsted will say today.
Part of the problem stems from teachers losing the art of reading stories aloud to children, a report from the watchdog found.
It also said that tens of thousands of children who pass English tests for 11-year-olds cannot then cope with secondary education because primary school standards were 'too low'.
Failings: Ofsted say tens of thousands of children cannot cope with secondary English education because primary school standards were 'too low'
Ofsted urged ministers to set tougher targets because many who achieve the expected levels then fall behind at secondary school.
Following visits to 268 primary and secondary schools, inspectors highlighted a list of poor practices including a failure to correct pupils' spelling and grammar mistakes.
Most children still in mixed-ability classes, despite endless promises from ministers 'Force them to work': Think tank calls on ministers to get tough on feckless fathers
In some secondary schools, pupils spend too much time reading holiday brochures and writing letters of complaint instead of studying the classics.
They are also given too many short extracts instead of whole books, meaning they fail to develop their 'reading stamina'.
In primary schools, more than half of teachers have such a poor grasp of the subject they can name no more than two poets, while many are losing the habit of reading aloud to pupils.
Sir Michael Wilshaw has warned that one in five children fail to achieve expected literacy levels by the age of 11
Sir Michael Wilshaw, the chief inspector of schools, warned yesterday that one in five children – around 100,000 – fail to achieve expected literacy levels at 11.
And nearly half of those who do scrape a pass – a level four – fail to gain C grades in English GCSE five years later.
In their damning report, inspectors demanded 'rapid' improvements in the teaching of English, because progress has flatlined since 2008.
'We need to think about whether the level four is a good enough standard to progress to secondary school,' Sir Michael said.
'We should raise the bar because a lot of children who are achieving the national average, particularly the lower end of level four, are not achieving the five A* to C grades five years after they leave primary school.'
As part of a ten-point plan for improving literacy standards, he also called on schools to tell parents their child's reading age as well as their national curriculum level.
He said: 'There can be no more important subject than English. It is at the heart of our culture.
'Yet too many pupils fall behind early on. In most cases, if they can't read securely at seven they struggle to catch up as they progress through their school careers.
'As a result, too many young adults lack the functional skills to make their way in the modern world.
'We are no longer a leading country in terms of our literacy performance: others are doing better.'

Silicon Secessionists
Lately, there have be weird mumblings about secession coming from an unexpected corner. We've come to expect that there are hangers on to the fallen Confederate States of America, or Texans hankering after their lost independent Republic, but Silicon Valley? Really? The idea, at least at first blush, seems absurd.
We have the tycoon founder of PayPal and early FaceBook investor, Peter Thiel, whose hands seem to be in every arch-conservative movement under the sun, and who is a vocal supporter of utopian seasteading. The idea of creating a libertarian oasis of artificial islands beyond the reach of law, regulation and taxes.
Likewise, Zoltan Istvan's novel The Transhumanist Wager uses the idolatry of Silicon Valley's Randian individualism and technophilia as lego blocks with which to build an imagined "Transhumania". A moveable artificial island that is, again, free from the legal and regulatory control of the state.
A second venture capitalist, Tim Draper, recently proposed shattering mammoth California into six pieces, with Silicon Valley to become its own separate state. There are plans to build a techno-libertarian Galt's Gulch type city-state in Chile, a geographical choice which given Chile's brutal experience with right-wing economics via Pinochet and the Chicago-school is loaded with historical irony.
Yet another Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur, Elon Musk, hopes to do better than all of these and move his imagined utopian experiment off of the earth, to Mars. Perhaps, he could get some volunteer's from Winnipeg whose temperature earlier this month under a "polar vortex" was colder than that around the Curiosity Rover tooling around in the dead red dust of the planet of war.
What in the world is going on?
By far the best articulation of Silicon Valley's new secessionists urges I have seen comes from Balaji Srinivasan, who doesn't consider himself a secessionist along the lines of John C Calhoun at all. In an article for Wired back in November Srinivasan laid out what I found to be a quite intriguing argument for a kind of Cambrian explosion of new polities. The Internet now allows much easier sorting of individuals based on values and its only a step or two ahead to imagine virtual associations becoming physical ones.
I have to say that I find much to like in the idea of forming small, new political societies as a means of obtaining forms of innovation we sorely lack- namely political and economic innovation. I also think Srinivasan and others are onto something in that that small societies, which get things right, seem best positioned to navigate the complex landscape of our globalized world. I myself would much prefer a successful democratic-socialist small society, such as a Nordic one like Finland, to a successful capitalist-authoritarian on like Singapore, but the idea of a plurality of political systems operating at a small scale doesn't bother me in the least as long as belonging to such polities is ultimately voluntary.
The existence of such societies might even help heal one of the main problems of the larger pluralist societies, such as our own, to which these new communities might remain attached. Pluralist societies are great on diversity, but often bad on something older, and invariably more intolerant types of society had in droves; namely the capacity of culture to form a unified physical and intellectual world- a kind of home- at least for those lucky enough to believe in that world and be granted a good place within it.
Even though I am certain that, like most past efforts have, the majority of these newly formed polities would fail, as have the utopian experiments in the past, we would no doubt learn something from them. And some might even succeed and become the legacy of those bold enough to dream of the new.
One might wonder, however, why this recent interest in utopian communities has been so strongly represented both by libertarians and Silicon Valley technolphiles? Nothing against libertarian experiments per se, but there are, after all a whole host of other ideological groups that could be expected to be attracted to the idea of forming new political communities where their principles could be brought to fruition. Srinivasan, again, provides us with the most articulate answer to this question.
In a speech I had formerly misattributed to one of the so-called neo-reactionaries (apologies), Srinivasan lays out the case for what he calls "Silicon Valley's ultimate exit".
He begins by asking in all seriousness "Is the USA the Microsoft of Nations?"and then goes on to draw the distinction between two different types of responses to institutional failure- Voice versus Exit. Voice essentially means aiming to change an institution from within whereas Exit is flight or in software terms "forking" to form a new institution whether that be anything from a corporation to a state. Srinivasan thinks Exit is an important form of political leverage pressuring a system to adopt reform or face flight.
The problem I see is the logic behind the choice of Exit over Voice which threatens a kind of social disintegration. Indeed, the rationale for Exit behind libertarian flight which Srinivasan draws seems not only to assume an already existent social disintegration, but proposes to act as an accelerant for more.
Srinivasan's argument is that Silicon Valley is on the verge of becoming the target of the old elites which he calls "The Paper Belt: based in:"Boston with higher ed; New York City with Madison Avenue, books, Wall Street, and newspapers; Los Angeles with movies, music, Hollywood; and, of course, DC with laws and regulations, formally running it." That Silicon Valley with it's telecommunications revolution was "putting a horse head in all of their beds. We are becoming stronger than all of them combined." That the elites of the Paper Belt "are basically going to try to blame the economy on Silicon Valley, and say that it is iPhone and Google that done did it, not the bailouts and the bankruptcies and the bombings…" And that "What they're basically saying is: rule by DC means people are going back to work and the emerging meme is that rule by us is rule by Terminators. We're going to take all the jobs."
Given what has actually happened so far Srinivasan's tone seems almost paranoid. Yes, the shine is off the apple (pun intended) of Silicon Valley, but the most that seems to be happening are discussions about how to get global tech companies to start paying their fair share of taxes. And the Valley has itself woken up to the concerns of civil libertarians that tech companies were being us by the US as a giant listening device.
Srinivasan himself admits that unemployment due to advances in AI and automation is a looming crisis, but rather than help support society, something that even a libertarian like Peter Diamandis has admitted may lead to the requirement for a universal basic income, Srinivasan instead seems to want to run away from the society he helped create.
And therein lies the dark side of what all this Silicon Valley talk of flight is about. As much as it's about experimentation,or Exit, it's also about economic blackmail and arbitrage. It's like a marriage where one partner, rather than engage even in discussions where they contemplate sacrificing some of their needs threatens at the smallest pretense to leave.
Arbitrage has been the tool by which the global, (to bring back the good old Marxist term) bourgeoisie, has been able to garner such favorable conditions for itself over the past generation. "Just try to tax us, and we will move to a place with lower or no taxation", "Just try to regulate us and we will move to a place with lower or no regulation", it says.
Yet, both non-excessive taxation, and prudent regulation are the way societies keep themselves intact in the face of the short-sightedness and greed at the base of any pure market. Without them, shared social structures and common infrastructure decays and all costs- pollution etc- are externalized onto the society as a whole. Maybe what we need is not so much more and better tools for people to opt out, which Srinivasan proposes, than a greater number and variety of ways for people to opt in. Better ways of providing the information and tools of Voice that are relevant, accessible, and actionable.
Perhaps what's happened is that we've come almost full round from our start in feudalism. We started with a transnational church and lords locked in the place of their local fiefdoms and moved to nation-states where ruling elites exercised control over a national territory where concern for the broad society underneath along with its natural environment was only fully extended with the expansion of the right to vote almost universally across society.
With the decline of the national state as the fundamental focus of our loyalty we are now torn in multiple directions, between our country, our class, by our religious and philosophical orientations, by our concern for the local or its invisibility, or our concern for the global or its apparent irrelevance. Yet, despite our virtuality we still belong to physical communities, our neighborhood, country and our shared earth.
Closer to our own time, this hope to escape the problems of society by flight and foundation of new uncorrupted enclaves is an idea buried deep in the founding myth of Silicon Valley. The counter-culture from which many of the innovators of Silicon Valley emerged wanted nothing to do with America's deep racial and Cold War era problems. They wanted to "drop out" and instead ended up sparking a revolution that not only challenged the whitewashed elites of the "Paper Belt", but ended up creating a new set of problems, which the responsibility of adulthood should compel them to address.
The elite that has emerged from Silicon Valley is perhaps the first in history dis-attached from any notion of physical space, even the physical space of our shared earth. But "ultimate exit" is an illusion, at least for the vast majority of us, for even if we could settle the stars or retreat into an electron cloud, the distances are far too great and both are too damned cold.

Before you start packing up to move, stock up on boxes, bubble wrap, packaging paper, markers for labeling, and packaging tape. This is especially important if your possessions have to travel a long distance, as you don't want anything falling out of loosely packed spaces or becoming damaged.
Start packing up as early as possible. While certain items may have to wait to be packed the week before, you can start packing other things a month before the move date. Packing early will save you from unnecessary stress right before the move, and it will also allow you to get additional packing supplies or solve other problems if need be.
This should be common sense, but you should never just throw things in a box or force objects into already full spaces. Wrap up fragile objects in bubble wrap and/or packing paper, and place them neatly in boxes with similar items. Seal all boxes with tape and label with a marker. If loading boxes into your car, be sure to put the heavier ones on bottom (try to limit each box's weight to about 50 pounds).
Obviously tables and other large furniture will not fit in boxes, but that doesn't mean these shouldn't also be carefully packed. Not doing so can cause severe damage to both them and items packed in boxes (a dining table can easily crush a box). If any tables have glass panels, for example, remove them and wrap the glass in towels. Empty all drawers to prevent things from falling out in transport (this will also make furniture easier to lift). For anything with electrical cords, wrap the cords neatly around to avoid potential hazards.
You may be tempted to hire someone to handle everything for you, but packing to move yourself (although the help of family and friends is recommended) and doing it right can actually save time as well as money. You'll be able to unpack more quickly rather than waste time searching through box after box.
