Australia's most affordable suburbs in which to buy a property, located within ten kilometres of a state or territory's capital city's central business district (CBD) have been revealed in a new study carried out by RP Data.
The cheapest capital city suburb in the whole of Australia, according to the study, is Clarendon Vale, located 9.5 kilometres from Hobart's CBD, with the average price of a property in the Tasmanian suburb being just AUS$151,059.
However, the report gives a clear indication at just how much Australia's average property prices differentiate from city to city.
Those looking to move close to the bright lights of Sydney's famous CBD will likely need to part with in excess of AUS$600,000 in order to buy a home there, with the cheapest suburb being St Peter's, located 5.7 kilometres away, where the average property price is AUS$645,681.
"While the suburbs listed may not be the most prestigious or highly sought after right now, they are potentially the hidden gems in the mix and shouldn't be overlooked as they may offer great value in the future," said Cameron Kusher, senior analyst at RP Data. "As you'd expect, house values in the inner-city areas are quite high. This is due to strong demand for houses in these regions and the fact that areas closer to the city typically have the best amenities and superior infrastructure," he added.

Mercedes-Benz 500E Is A True Modern Classic
1993 Mercedes 500E for sale at Fast Lane Classic Cars
In the early 1990's, German sports car manufacturer Porsche was facing hard times. Sales were slumping in the US, their largest market. The company was small and their only three models - the 911, 944, and 928 - were viewed as boutique sports cars. Competition in the market segment from cars like Acura NSX, Toyota Supra, BMW 3-series sports cars like the Z3 and Z8, and even upstarts like the Dodge Viper was intense. Porsche was staring down the barrel of bankruptcy. Porsche enthusiasts might look at this period as the catalyst for what the company has become today. Wendelin Wiedeking was promoted to CEO in 1993 and is largely credited with Porsche's turnaround in the late 1990's. The company put dramatic process improvements in place and expanded the model lineup with the popular Boxster in 1996 and eventually with more models like the Cayenne, Cayman, and Panamera.
Porsche's troubles in this era led to another little-known gem for German automobile enthusiasts. Around the same time, an automaker across town was having their own problem. Mercedes-Benz wanted to build a high performance sedan to compete with BMW's newest generation M5, but could not fit the V8 from their SL-Class convertible into their E-Class sedan. Knowing that Porsche was looking for new revenue streams, Mercedes reached out and a deal was made to jointly design and produce the Mercedes-Benz 500E. Porsche started designing the car in 1989, and after widening the fenders and making changes to the suspension of the E-Class, were ready for production by 1991.
The 500E was primarily produced from 1991 to 1994, and only 10,479 were made. Each car was assembled by hand, and took 18 days to complete. During production, the car was transported between the Mercedes and Porsche manufacturing plants in Zuffenhausen, Germany. The naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine with 300+ horsepower and upgraded front and rear brakes were from the 500SL roadster. On the road, the 500E is easily distinguishable from a vanilla E-Class sedan. It has a wider track, lower profile, flared fenders, side skirts, front air-dam, and wider tires.
Because of its look, limited numbers, hand-built construction, and unique pedigree, the Mercedes-Benz 500E is already considered a classic.

Q: Exclude set of characters from regular expression I'm trying to come up with a regular expression (in Java) to validate that a given String value must be in the following form:

*

*starts with 4 uppercase letters

*followed by 12 alphanumeric characters

*cannot include, at any time, the characters 0, 1, and L
This is what I've got so far: ^(?:(?![01L])[A-Z]{4}[A-Z0-9]{12}) ... but still, I cannot make it work.
Sample data:
SKDNCNSK8SD30DDD
SKDNCNSK8SD31DDD
SKDNCNSK8SD3IDDD // valid
SKDNCNSK8SD3LDDD
SKDNCNSK8SD3ODDD // valid
SKDNCNSK8SD3ADDD // valid
1234567890123456

A: Your basic pattern is correct, but the negative lookahead you are using to restrict to not having 0, 1, and L is incorrect.  Try using this version:
^(?!.*[01L])[A-Z]{4}[A-Z0-9]{12}$

Demo
The negative lookahead (?!.*[01L]) says to assert that [01L] does not appear anywhere in the string.

Truthers Against Tragedy: How Kremlin Fans Are Trying To Discredit the MH17 Investigation On Twitter
Russia is using disinfo networks on Twitter to discredit the tribunal prosecuting those accused of being responsible for the MH17 tragedy. This network is also attacking Bellingcat — a research group which has proven Russia's guilt.
UPD: November 12, 2020
Bellingcat and its investigative partners have discovered evidence that Bonanza Media has been working in coordination with Russia's military intelligence. These findings present one of the most detailed chronicles of an actual disinformation project run by the GRU.
When the MH17 court case resumed in June 2020, Russia activated its disinformation network on Twitter. We used Hoaxy, an online tool visualizing the spread of messages online, to study which accounts have been conversation starters on the MH17 topic.
One of the key accounts in this network is Bonanza Media, which calls itself a "platform for independent journalists." According to the "About Us" section on its website, the organization "welcome[s] to [its] team independent journalists that investigate most troubling issues all around the world in a thorough manner and truthful way." However, articles published on the website are almost exclusively dedicated to one topic - the MH-17 trial. This fact becomes less surprising when we take a look at Bonanza's co-founders.
One of them is Yana Yerlashova, a former journalist of the Russian state-owned outlet RT who directed two RT documentaries on MH-17. While working on one of the documentaries, Yerlashova tried to discredit the official investigation team by stealing a part of MH-17 wreckage and later putting it back as if it had been missed by the investigators, Dutch journalists Robert van der Noordaa and Coen van de Ven write in their investigation for De Groene Amsterdammer.
In 2019, Yerlashova left RT to create an "independent project" - Bonanza Media. Yarlashova's LinkedIn page still lists her as working fort RT, but it is possible that she simply may not have updated it.
Another co-founder of Bonanza Media is Max van der Werff, a Dutch journalist who since 2015 has been promoting the narrative that Russia had nothing to do with the downing of MH-17. In order to do this, van der Werff has visited the MH-17 crash site multiple times in close cooperation with "officials" of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic", as proven by emails found in 175 gigabytes of leaked documents obtained by hackers from Russian ministries and authorities and published by Transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets.
Yerlashova and van der Werff jointly produced a documentary called "MH-17: Call for Justice" which was published at the YouTube channel of Bonanza Media in July 2019. This documentary once again tried to prove that Ukraine and the United States were trying to blame Russia for downing MH-17 on Russia by falsifying evidence and misleading witnesses. The documentary has been widely shared by Russian media such as RT (Yana's former(?) employer), RIA Novosti, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Lenta.ru, Interfax and others. This pattern has been present ever since: all major "leaks" by Bonanza Media have been further amplified by Russian media.
One of the most recent narratives shared by Bonanza is that "the Ukrainian authorities provoked the incident [the MH17 catastrophe]" by "using MH17 as a shield for a Ukrainian fighter jet."
They also accuse Bellingcat, a research agency which proved Russia's direct involvement in the catastrophe, of deceiving a "witness" who claimed he had seen warplanes downing MH17.
Other than Youtube, Bonanza Media's main channel of communication is Twitter. This is hardly surprising, as Twitter is very popular with the community of European journalists and investigators, who are the target audience of Yerlashova and van der Werff's project.
The page does not have many followers. We have not found much evidence of bot activities on the page, either. However, we have identified an army of trolls pushing the Russian narrative on MH17 based on a Bonanza Media article.
Read also: An Army of Trolls Pushing the Russian Narrative on MH17: Who Are They?
Bonanza Media itself does not use bots and trolls. It rather recruits so-called "MH17 truthers" - independent journalists and bloggers who are highly critical of "mainstream" media such as CNN or BBC and therefore looking for "alternative explanations" of the MH-17 catastrophe. These journalists are often very sympathetic towards Russia and the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk "People's Republics" it supports. These people unite around Bonanza Media and form a network in which they retweet one another and discuss conspiracy theories.
One of these journalists is Stefan Beck, who used to write for the now-defunct novini.nl. Most of his articles are dedicated to the topic of MH-17 and "separatists in Donbas." Beck travelled to the "Luhansk People's Republic" in 2017 to film an interview with a Dutch national living there in order to show the consequences of what he calls "a civil war." In January 2017, Stefan Beck and Michel Spekkers, another freelance journalist, were caught by Dutch police at Schiphol Airport carrying a number of MH-17 related items, including possible human remains. This incident was later portrayed as an infringement on press freedom by a number of Russian media, including RT, Sputnik, RIA Novosti, and Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Beck and Spekkers gave interviews for RT and RIA Novosti on this matter. Beck has also recently been sharing Russian propaganda narratives on the poisoning of prominent Russian oppositionist Alexei Navalny:
Another contributor to Bonanza Media is Eric van de Beek, who has also writen for Sputnik and Russia Insider, an English-language propaganda website based in Russia. He is also currently collecting donations to film another piece of "independent journalism about MH-17."
It is hardly surprising that van de Beek also defends Russia in the Navalny poisoning case:
An example of cooperation within the network of MH-17 truthers is a YouTube video on which Stefan Beck and Eric van de Beek discuss the MH-17 case and say that "national media are concealing crucial news when it comes to the MH17" and "are looking the other way when facts send the official version to the trash."
One more feature which unites the network of MH-17 truthers and Bonanza Media is their support of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Bonanza Media and its supporters even use the hashtag #BonanzaLeaks on Twitter (an homage to Wikileaks) to underline their independence. The goal of the organisation led by Yana Yerlashova and Max von der Werff is simple - to create a trustworthy alternative news source which can be picked up by fringe journalists and bloggers who go above and beyond to distinguish themselves from the "mainstream media."
On August 30, 2020, Bonanza Media announced a hiatus in their activities.
On the one hand, this might mean that the goal has been achieved: the 'alternative theory' - whereby MH17 was downed by a Ukrainian plane and in which Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) is messing around with the investigation - is alive and well. On the other hand, this asset might simply have been shelved for future use, as the MH17 trial is still far from over.

May a public university manipulate a Freedom of Information (FOIA) request of a faculty member in an effort to squelch the politically incorrect side in the on-going climate wars? The University of Delaware, which has a long, sorry history of political correctness, seems to think that it may–even if its actions violate the faculty member's academic freedom, Delaware's FOIA law, and the University's own FOIA policy.
Nevertheless, UD Vice President and General Counsel. Lawrence White, decided that Legates must provide more than Greenpeace had requested, not only all State Climate Office documents, but all documents he had on global climate change, whether or not Greenpeace had requested them. White's expansive list, covering all of Legates' teaching, research and service materials going back to 2000, included work unrelated to the State Climate Office, whether conducted on Legates' own time or on University time, through his personal e-mail or his University e-mail, on his personal computer or a University computer, both in hard files and on computer disks. According to White, Legates had no choice. As a faculty member, White instructed him, Legates had to comply with the request of "a senior University official." It seemed not to matter to White that the Delaware FOIA law limits requests to state-funded activity and UD's own policy limits it further to research that is state-funded.
The Virginia Supreme Court recently ruled that, despite Virginia's FOIA law, the University of Virginia was correct in refusing to comply with a FOIA request for the records and e-mails of a former faculty member, Michael Mann, famous (or infamous) for his alarmist "hockey stick" image of the recent rise in global air temperature. The Virginia law had made all UVA faculty members subject to FOIA requests. The Delaware law, in contrast, restricts requests to faculty who are state-funded and to the work they carry out with state funds. (State money accounts for only a small portion of UD's revenue.) For many years, the University administration has designated some faculty as doing state-funded work, but kept or removed faculty members from the list if administrators believed that they were likely to receive an unwanted FOIA request. For reasons administrators have declined to explain, a small portion of Legates' teaching salary was, curiously, placed on the list of state-funded activity shortly before Greenpeace filed its FOIA request in 2009.
A month after Greenpeace's request to Legates, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, an opponent of Greenpeace, filed a nearly identical FOIA request with UD for information on three other Delaware faculty members. These three had contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations group often (and recently) warning of the catastrophic effects of global warning. White said no, "because the information you seek does not relate to the expenditure of public funds." When asked to explain the disparate treatment, White told Legates that he (Legates) did not understand the law. Muddling his own argument, White said that while the law did not require him to give Greenpeace all the documents he had requested from Legates, the law did not prohibit him from requiring Legates to produce them. His authority as a "senior University official" evidently trumped Delaware law and University policy. Under pressure, Legates submitted all the demanded materials in March, 2010.
Under Delaware law, FOIA requests must be answered within ten days (unless there is need to consult with an agency counsel), but White did nothing with Legates' materials for more than 15 months. In June, 2011, he hired a third-year law student to sort through them. "We have interpreted that language [of the Delaware FOIA law] to mean that we are obliged to produce records, otherwise non-privileged, that pertain to work by Dr. Legates that is supported through grants from state agencies," White wrote. The law-student's trolling came up short. The resulting file contained, in its entirety, 1) two e-mail exchanges about federal, not state, funding sources, 2) an invitation from a state agency to give a talk on climate change, for which Legates was not paid, and 3) a report to the Governor and General Assembly on the Delaware Water Supply Coordinating Council, which Legates had no hand in writing and in which he is not mentioned, but which he was simply given when he joined the Council.
That was not all. White also decided "to produce copies of speeches, papers, presentations and other materials that were created by Professor Legates and subsequently published, delivered in lecture form, or otherwise made public." Many of these public items were gathered from the internet by the law student. While conceding that the state FOIA does not require the disclosure of public materials and Greenpeace had not requested them, White said that he would "turn them over [to Greenpeace] only because it seems potentially provocative to me NOT to surrender documents that are already in the public domain" (his caps). Never at a loss for a pretext to trample faculty rights, White, having claimed that it was harmless to violate Legates' rights, now claimed that it would be harmful NOT to violate his rights.
This is not the first time the University of Delaware has violated a faculty member's academic freedom and tried to silence controversial research. Twenty-five years ago, the University banned receiving grants from the foundation supporting the research of a faculty member, Linda Gottfredson. In banning the funding, the University granted that for it to "direct…its attention to the content or method of any faculty member's research or teaching" would violate the faculty member's academic freedom. Gottfredson won at federal arbitration when she showed that the University did precisely what it stipulated it must not do (full disclosure: I was her co-plaintiff). When reminded of this precedent and the University's own stipulation, White, reaching for still another excuse to violate Legates' rights, said that academic freedom does not impede FOIA requests. State law trumps University policy, he said. When reminded that Legates' materials included nothing that was subject to the Delaware FOIA law, White dismissed the objection out of hand, without answering it. As he disdainfully declared yet again, the faculty member did not adequately understand the intricacies of the law.
It would be bad enough had White properly applied the FOIA law and UD policy to Legates, but only Legates, and exempted the three politically correct faculty from the burden he levied on Legates. But, much worse, in the guise of asserting his administrative authority and his superior understanding of the law, White repeatedly misrepresented and ignored the established policy and law. Again and again, he fabricated his own policy and law, and justified his actions against Legates on specious grounds. He used his position as Vice President and General Counsel to transform faculty protections against political interference into a cudgel to silence one side in the current climate debate.

I decided I was going to try to take part in the UltimateBlogChallenge for the month of October. I am going to try to use their prompts each day and still do my other regular or random things as well. In hopes that it'll get me back in the swing of things around here. I didn't do yesterday's because I was still trying to get organized and didn't actually receive the prompt. Today we are going to rock this! Let's start out with the Qualities I Admire in people.
honesty – I hate liars, always speak your truth. Don't hide behind lies because I will find out and will let you know that I found out.
being out spoken – I admire and wish I had the ability to be outspoken as some people I know. I am pretty good about being outspoken online, but get me in person and my whole mind goes blank.
being able to stand on your own two feet – I admit I don't know where I'd be without Jason. He is my other half, the one I lean on, the one that protects me and provides for me. I admire and am aww of those people who are okay with it just being them. They do well on their own.
thoughtfulness – I am super thoughtful, so someone who is also thoughtful goes a long way with me. And for me it's always those little gestures.
kindness – I like to think I am pretty kind. For me its pretty simple think of how you'd feel if someone did this and that to you, how would you feel? Be kind.
having goals – knowing what you want and going after it. While I think I have some of these qualities, I don't think I have enough of that go get em' attitude of some I know.
confidence – I am in aww again of those that just are so confident. Walk out with their head held high and know they have the right stuff. I doubt myself daily.
Those are some of the things I can think of that I admire in people. What are some top points that you admire in others or even yourself?

Kładki nad ulicą Zygmunta Wróblewskiego (niem. Brücke über den Grüneicher Weg) – dwie kładki dla pieszych (Kładka I nad ul. Wróblewskiego – bliżej Biskupina, Kładka II nad ul. Wróblewskiego – bliżej Mostu Zwierzynieckiego). Kładki położone są we Wrocławiu, na osiedlu Dąbie. Stanowią nadziemne przejścia dla pieszych nad ulicą Zygmunta Wróblewskiego (kładki dają możliwość przejścia nad: chodnikiem, jezdnią, linią tramwajową biegnącą w kierunku Biskupina i kolejnym chodnikiem). Południowo-zachodnie wejścia na kładki znajdują się obecnie przy terenie ogrodu zoologicznego, natomiast północno-wschodnie przy Hali Stulecia. Kładki położone są symetrycznie zarówno względem głównego (współcześnie) wejścia do ogrodu zoologicznego, jak i budynku Hali Stulecia, tj. przy jego odpowiednio północno-zachodniej i południowo-wschodniej stronie. Kładki zostały wybudowane w 1926 roku z inicjatywy Niemieckiego Towarzystwa Gospodarki Rolnej (Die Deutsche Landwirtschaftsgesellschaft). Ich projektantem był Richard Konwiarz.

Obie kładki jak wyżej zaznaczono zostały wybudowane w 1926 roku, jako praktycznie identyczne budowle, tak pod względem architektonicznym, jak i konstrukcyjnym. Każda z nich to konstrukcja, której ustrój nośny stanowią dwa dźwigary w postaci belek podłużnych. Każda z belek ma cztery przęsła. Długość każdej z kładek wynosi 69,2 m, a szerokość 6 m. Nawierzchnię kładki wykonano jako bitumiczną. Kładki były remontowane w latach osiemdziesiątych XX wieku.

Samsung unveils a massive 110-inch MicroLED 4K TV for your home theater
Introducing the next BIG leap in the TV and display industry.
Natalie Khoo
After introducing its first MicroLED TV in the form of "The Wall" in 2018, Korean tech behemoth Samsung has unveiled its next big massive innovation: a 110-inch MicroLED TV with 4K resolution.
Unlike its predecessor, which involves a system of configurable modules that must be installed professionally, this latest TV follows the traditional form factor. This means that its modular counterpart, installation and calibration are streamlined and prefabricated — offering captivating video, audio and smart capabilities straight out of the box.
Its MicroLED technology is touted as the next big leap in the TV and display industry, after OLED in 2005 and QLED in 2013. However, past innovations like The Wall were only available to a select few. The tech company is hoping to change that with this first commercially offered MicroLED TV to meet the growing consumer interest and demand for large screen displays.
The 110-inch MicroLED uses micrometer-sized LED lights as individual pixels in the screen, each self-illuminating to eliminate backlight and color filters applied in conventional displays. According to Samsung, this accurately delivers wide color gamut images taken with high-end DSLR cameras, resulting in stunning, realistic colours and brightness from the 8 million pixels.
On top of improved display quality, MicroLEDs are made of inorganic materials which are long-lasting and durable. For an idea, Samsung claims "a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, or over a decade".
Adding to its desirability and immersiveness, the new TV features a 99.99% screen-to-body ratio with the black matrix and bezel completely removed from the display. What's more, its Majestic Sound System delivers spectacular 5.1 channel sound with no external speaker – effectively transforming any room into a premium home theater. Complete with the Object Tracking Sound Pro feature, it is able to identify objects moving on screen and project sound accordingly for a goosebump-inducing experience.
Samsung has yet to announce the price tag for the 110-inch MicroLED TV, but we'd expect such a ground-breaking model to cost no less than the brand's 8K OLED counterparts. Pre-sale has started in Korea, whilst the rest of the world can expect it in the first quarter of 2021.

Three of NWSL's biggest names are on the move after a trade of seismic proportions.
NWSL held its draft on Thursday, with Stanford star and U.S. women's national team midfielder Andi Sullivan going first overall to the Washington Spirit. But the big takeaway from the day was a seismic trade that sends three superstars to new locations.
Reigning league MVP Sam Kerr, two-time FIFA World Player of the Year Carli Lloyd and U.S. national team star Christen Press are all on the move following a three-team deal involving Sky Blue FC, the Houston Dash and the Chicago Red Stars. The deal was first reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The three clubs were part of draft-day trade that included multiple picks and players to be named later. As it turns out, those players–at least three of them–are franchise stars. Canadian international Janine Beckie is also involved, leaving the Dash and joining Lloyd on Sky Blue FC.
Kerr, a 24-year-old Australian international, won the league's Golden Boot with Sky Blue FC a season ago with 17 goals, and she was joined on the league's Best XI by the 29-year-old Press, who excelled with the Red Stars during a 11-goal campaign that included five match-winning scores.
For the 35-year-old Lloyd, the move represents a homecoming. The New Jersey native and former Rutgers standout will play at her alma mater–Sky Blue FC's home games are at Rutgers–after splitting last year between Manchester City Women and the Dash.
The trade comes just days after another set of U.S. internationals were sent on the move. The North Carolina Courage acquired the rights to forward Crystal Dunn from the Spirit in exchange for Taylor Smith and Ashley Hatch on Monday. Dunn was playing most recently for Chelsea's women's team in England.


In order to run a fireteam I grabbed a full five Kaplan and because Scarface and Cordelia seem like a bargain I got them too. I already owned the Druze hacker and if you read my last Learning Curve article on Infinity you'll realise that I feel insecure without a pair of hackers now. Also because you need a high value target I got hold of one.
I wanted them to marry with the rest of the force but be clearly demarked as mercs so kept the Red and Bone from the rest of the force but keep them as accents not dominating colours but as I 'finished' them I realised that I'm not that keen on them for some reason. I like the Druze and Cordelia but the others just look not up to scratch. I'm pleased with the detailing and think they'll look fine on the table though so I'm not planning a repaint just yet!
Thanks. Bit dull maybe, not sure really?

Q: group by users usage on a shared folder in Red hat FS History: I have a shared folder which can be access by all the users of the system. every one claims that they are not using much. So, I decided to check how much each user uses the shared folder.
I am able to get the total usage by du -sh <path/to/folder>. but not at the individual users level.
I think, I am thinking too much to get this done. probably, there might be straight forward way to get this done.
If somebody asked similar kind of question please share the URL.

A: Here's a couple of functions that may help
space() {
    local user=$1
    local space=0
    local tmp=`mktemp`
    find . -user $user -exec stat --printf="%s\n" {} \; 2>/dev/null >> $tmp
    for size in `cat $tmp`; do ((space=space + size)); done
    local humanized=`mb $space`
    echo "`pwd` $user $humanized"
    rm -f $tmp
}

mb() {
    local orig=$1
    if [[ $orig -gt $((2**20)) ]]; then
        echo -n $(($orig / 2**20))
        echo "mb"
    else
        echo -n $(($orig / 2**10))
        echo "kb"
    fi
}

Paste these into your shell and then call it on the command line like
$space <user>

it will print out all the file sizes to a temporary file and then add them all up. The mb function makes it human readable. When I run it I get
/home/me me 377mb

Compared with
du -sh .
399M    .

Pretty close ;)

U.S. government spending $500,000 on White House deep clean before Biden inauguration
Gap closing more than 200 stores this year

Gap Inc. announced that they will permanently close its flagship store in San Francisco and all but one store in the city due to a drop in retail sales as the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic continues.

Gap has announced it's closing more than 225 Gap and Banana Republic store locations this year.
That's nearly three times more than the company previously announced.
Gap, owner of the Banana Republic brand, had announced in March it would close 90 stores. The drastic increase shows how much retailers are struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.

Gap had a brutal second quarter, which included temporary location closures prompted by the pandemic. However, the second quarter improved significantly compared to the first quarter with online sales nearly doubling year-over-year.
Despite a 95% increase in online sales, though, net sales were down 18% year-over-year, with the company seeing a 48% decline in store sales.
Gap CEO Sonia Syngal said in a statement that the improvement was because the company "rapidly adapted to the changing environment."
The US economy is reliant on consumer spending – can it survive a pandemic?
"I'm confident that our purpose-driven lifestyle brands, size and scale, and advantaged digital capabilities are helping us win now and position us for growth in the future," she said.
Gap says most of the store closures will be mall locations.

Sandu Popescu  (born 1956 in Oradea, Romania) is a Romanian-British physicist working in the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum information.

Career and research
Popescu has been Professor of Physics at the University of Bristol since 1999. He studied with Yakir Aharonov, followed by postdoctoral research positions with François Englert, and then with Abner Shimony and Bahaa Saleh. From 1996 to 1999 he was Reader at the Isaac Newton Institute, University of Cambridge. Popescu's main body of work is in the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum information, where he was one of the pioneers of the field, and more recently in the foundations of statistical mechanics and quantum thermodynamics.

His most important contributions are in the area of quantum nonlocality. In collaboration with Daniel Rohrlich, simultaneously and independently from Nicolas Gisin, Popescu showed that non-locality is a generic property of nature: every entangled pure  quantum  state (i. e. almost every pure state) has nonlocal properties. In collaboration with Charles Bennett, Herbert Bernstein, and Benjamin Schumacher, he established the quantitative theory of entanglement by the discovery of entanglement concentration and dilution, and together with Bennett, Schumacher, Gilles Brassard, John Smolin, and William Wootters a method of entanglement purification (distillation). These works introduced the idea of entanglement manipulation by local operations and classical communication (LOCC), and introduced the notions of entanglement of distillation and entanglement of formation. He also proved that there is a unique measure of entanglement for pure bi-partite quantum states (the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix).

With Daniel Rohrlich, Popescu showed that nonlocal correlations stronger than those allowed by quantum mechanics could exist without violating Einstein's principle of no superluminal signalling. These correlations are now known as Popescu-Rohrlich correlations (PR boxes). This work started the intensive research program taking place at the moment to find new principles of nature that would limit nonlocality to only quantum correlations, and in this way recover quantum mechanics from general principles.

In 1997, he was one of the first researchers to implement quantum teleportation, one of the landmark experiments in quantum information.

Another of Popescu's interests is the foundations of statistical mechanics. In collaboration with Noah Linden, Anthony J. Short and Andreas Winter he proved that virtually any quantum system interacting with a larger system (the "bath") reaches equilibrium. Crucially, this is the first demonstration of equilibration – the most important aspect of statistical mechanics – directly from first principles, without any additional assumptions. The result holds even in situations in which the standard assumptions of statistical mechanics do not apply, such as systems with strong long-range, non-screened interactions where temperature cannot even be defined. In an earlier work with Short and Winter he showed that the so-called equal a priori probability postulate, one of the basic postulates of statistical mechanics, is redundant, and is simply a consequence of typicality. (A similar proof is due to Goldstein et al.)

With Yakir Aharonov and his group, Popescu discovered a number of quantum paradoxes, such as the quantum Cheshire Cat, and the quantum pigeonhole principle. They also introduced the idea of superposition of time evolutions.

Together with Serge Massar, Popescu pioneered the study of optimal measurements and proved that in general they require collective (i.e. entangled) measurements on all of the particles in a finite statistical ensemble.
Among the counter-intuitive consequences of quantum theory is his discovery with Nicolas Gisin that two antiparallel spins contain more information about their direction than parallel spins.

More recently Popescu's interest is in the thermodynamics of quantum systems. In collaboration with Noah Linden and Paul Skrzypczyk, he described the smallest possible refrigerator, and together with Skrzypczyk and Anthony J. Short, extended the laws of thermodynamics to individual quantum systems.

Popescu is co-editor and co-author of the first textbook on quantum information and computation.

In 2015, Popescu appeared on Science Channel's Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

Awards and honours
Popescu has won numerous awards and honours including:
 2017 Elected Fellow of the Royal Society
 2016 Dirac Medal from the Institute of Physics
 2016 Cozzarelli Prize
 2012 Wolfson Research Merit Award  –  awarded by the Royal Society

2.3 Member of the European Parliament, 2014–present
Education and early career
Paet was born in Tallinn. He graduated from the University of Tartu in 1996 with a BA in political science and continued his graduate studies there, but without obtaining the degree. He was active in journalism during his studies, first at Estonian Radio and later at Postimees, a mainstream daily and one of Estonia's most popular newspapers.[2]
Paet continued his career in journalism until 1999, when he entered politics by joining the Reform Party and becoming professional advisor. He served as the Deputy Mayor of Nõmme (a district of Tallinn) from 1999 to 2003.
Role in Estonian politics
In April 2003, when the Juhan Parts government took office, Paet became Estonian Minister of Culture. In this capacity, he helped launch a new theatre, Theatre NO99[3]
Paet remained in that position until April 2005, when the Parts government fell. In April 2005, when the Andrus Ansip cabinet took office, he became Foreign Minister.
During his time in office, the kidnapping of seven Estonian cyclists in the Beqaa Valley near the Syria-Lebanese border required Paet to undertake multiple trips to the Middle East in 2011; the cyclists' release was secured after 113 days in captivity.[4] By the time he left office, he was the second longest-serving foreign minister in Europe.[5]
Telephone call to Catherine Ashton
Full article: Ukraine coup 2014/Maidan snipers
On 25 February 2014, 3 days after the 2014 Ukraine coup and 5 days after both police and protestors were shot by snipers in Kiev, Paet (in his role as Estonian Foreign secretary) initiated a telephone call to EU foreign policy spokesman Catherine Ashton. In it he cautioned Ashton that there was strong evidence that the deaths and injuries of both police and protestors were the work of the same group of snipers.
Member of the European Parliament, 2014–present
Paet has been a Member of the European Parliament since the 2014 European elections. A member of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe political faction, he currently serves on the Committee on Budgets. In this capacity, he authored a 2016 parliamentary resolution in favor of plans to increase European spending on military missions, as well as developing and sharing assets like helicopters.[6]
In addition to his committee assignments, Paet is a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on the Digital Agenda[7] and the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights.[8]
In 2015, Paet nominated murdered Russian politician Boris Nemtsov for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.[9]
In the 2015 Estonian elections, Paet received enough votes to take up a seat in the national parliament yet decided to keep his seat in the European Parliament.[10]
Paet is married and has three daughters. He speaks Estonian, German, Finnish, English and Russian.

I waited years for this book! Finally! Tamora Pierce reviewed the first book, Seraphina, before it was released and wrote that she loved it so much that she read it twice. Because of this, I bought Seraphina shortly after it was released and I really enjoyed it! That was at least four years ago and I have been eagerly awaiting the sequel since then.
This just came out in March, but I just bought it this month and I am excited to read it!

Chris Kreider returns, sparks Rangers to 5-3 win over Maple Leafs

New York Rangers left wing Chris Kreider (20) reacts after scoring during the first period against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Madison Square Garden in New York on Feb. 5, 2020.

Chris Kreider provided a big boost to the Rangers in his return from a one-game absence.
Kreider and Mika Zibanejad scored in a 6-second span late in the first period and the New York Rangers earned a 5-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night.
Kreider and Zibanejad each had a goal and an assist, Pavel Buchnevich had a goal and two assists and Filip Chytil and Greg McKegg also scored for the Rangers. Rookie goalie Igor Shesterkin made 27 saves to win for the fourth time in five starts this season.
Kreider returned to the lineup after missing Monday's loss to Dallas. Kreider was accidentally hit in the head by Zibanejad's knee in Saturday's win at Detroit.
"Any time you lose a player like Kreids you're gonna notice and you're gonna notice when he comes back," Zibanejad said.
Kreider, who will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, is a candidate to be traded at the league's deadline in a few weeks.
"I thought all three of those guys were really good tonight," Rangers coach David Quinn said of his top line.
"I thought Kreider coming back from a scary incident and missing one game, give him a lot of credit for stepping up, picking up really from where he left off, didn't have any rust."
Auston Matthews had two goals and John Tavares also scored and added an assist for the Maple Leafs, who are in a tight race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"I thought we started well, but we continue to have these lulls throughout the game," Matthews said. "We're just not playing at our best."
Backup goalie Michael Hutchinson, who had won his previous four starts, had 30 saves for Toronto. Starter Frederik Andersen left Monday's loss to Florida with a neck injury. The Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 third-period lead and lost 5-3 to the Panthers.
After the game, the Leafs acquired goaltender Jack Campbell and forward Kyle Clifford from the Los Angeles Kings for forward Trevor Moore, Columbus' third-round pick in the 2020 draft and a conditional third-round pick in 2021.
Tied 1-1 late in the first period, the Rangers scored two quick goals to stun the Leafs.
First, Kreider won a draw in the Toronto zone and Zibanejad ripped a wrist shot past Hutchinson for his 21st of the season at 17:18.
Then on the subsequent faceoff, Zibanejad won the draw and Kreider took off with the puck and fended off defenceman Justin Holl and skated toward the net and beat Hutchinson with a backhand for his 19th at 17:24.
"We get two faceoffs right away there that we weren't alive on," Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said. "They happen: bang, bang. It goes (from) 2-1, we can manage that, 3-1 is tough. So that was a big moment."
The franchise record for the fastest two goals is 4 seconds, set by Martin St. Louis and Rick Nash on Oct. 19, 2014.
Matthews scored his second goal of the game and his 39th of the season on the power play at 16:32 of the third to cut it to 4-3. But McKegg scored an empty-netter to hand the Leafs their second consecutive loss.
Trailing 3-1 after the first, the Maple Leafs scored late in the second period. After sustained pressure in the Rangers' zone, Matthews sent a backhand to the net that beat Shesterkin at 16:56.
The Rangers regained their two-goal lead just 34 seconds later. Hutchinson briefly lost his stick and while scrambling to get reset, Buchnevich scored his 11th of the season at 17:30 to make it 4-2.
Coming off the blown lead against the Panthers, the Maple Leafs opened the scoring against the Rangers.
Holl sent a pass to William Nylander, who wristed a shot on the net. Tavares connected on the rebound into an open net and scored his 20th of the season at 7:36. Tavares has scored at least 20 goals in each of his 11 seasons.
The Rangers answered a short time later.
Tony DeAngelo sent a pass from the right faceoff circle that Chytil slid into the net for his 12th at 8:50 to tie it at 1-1.
"We kept it simple tonight," Kreider said. "We worked for each other. It's a recipe we can take into most games, regardless of who we are playing."

As a small, struggling business, I am always in need of the most economical courier service. Whilst P2G offers the cheapest... there is a good reason. They offer a very very sub-standard service. DO NOT pay for the insurance or Next Day delivery. These are not guaranteed - whatever lies they may claim - and they will fight you to the death, with everything they have NOT to compensate you. They are only about the money coming in. They rely on their cheap prices to trick customers, and dont worry about customer service... or even doing what you paid the to do.
-- First day they didn't pick up the parcel. Ok except that I got NO notification or explanation to understand what happened.
-- I contacted them through Chat (only option) and they helped me by rescheduling but they did NOT have much information so they had to contact UPS in pretty much the same way that I would do directly (so that's a useless delay).
-- ...they answer that the parcel has been stopped (one day ago!) in the border because of a Local law that they were not aware but that **they had convinced the destination country to accept it anyway** !!!
-- My recipient receives a call saying the opposite so I contact them AGAIN and they tell me a different story: "You need to pay to the borders but the recipient refused".
NOTE: Still... why am I never informed of the problems until I ask? Tracking still saying that the parcel was just picked up!
-- I want to pay the price but they don't even know how much or how to do that so they tell me to contact them in a couple of days.
-- After several communications and the version changing each time, they finally contact me through eMail mostly blaming my recipient and never giving alternatives. I insist that I want to pay... and they give me a page to pay THEM the RETURN of the parcel, not the border fee!!
-- Obviously I strongly refuse to pay them more money (I meant to pay a fee for the borders) so they accept to send me the parcel back at no cost BUT without the battery because it was taken for some other law that I was not informed about either.
-- Important NOTE: at no point they pointed out any line of the Terms and Conditions that I could have missed to read: this was entirely their responsibility and I was always uninformed.
***** RESULT: I would have expected them to return my 100 pounds (did I say this? That was the price for losing my battery, my time, lots of effort and missing the deadline for my recipient to use it: I payed URGENT delivery with INSURANCE for a reason). Instead I was lucky to convince them of not charging me extra... I won't take this risk again.
***** I don't use '1' star because makes me look like angry person seeking revenge and some people will rather read a '2-star'... but this is definitely a '1'.
Sorry for the long review but hope it helps someone.
Sorry to hear you've had a poor experience with your delivery. We do everything possible to ensure that the couriers we work with are as effective as possible, so naturally, it's disappointing to hear stories like yours.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback — it's valuable to us and the couriers we work with in helping identify areas for future improvement.

From the hard impact.
Model, motorcyclist and Thai box Patricia Gebauer.
Models and extreme sport are not mutually exclusive. And living proof of this is Patricia Gebauer. Born in Munich, she loves motorcycling with a passion and keeps herself in shape with the Thai martial art Muay Thai. Risking broken bones and bruises in the toughest martial art in the world in no way impinges on her passion.
Daily training
Beauty in the ring.
An empty factory. Photo lights and studio flashes are set up in a small corner which is lost in the big hall. The photographer aims his camera at the model. Behind her is the S 1000 XR – photo shoot for BMW Motorrad. Ten clicks of the camera and that was it. Off she goes to the next photo location. For Patricia Gebauer, this is not stressful. After all, she is a pro.
A model with long blonde hair, blue eyes and toned body. What differentiates her from many other models is her passion for extreme sport. She often spends her free time in the ring. Gebauer practises the Thai national sport Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing. A traditional martial art, which was used during wartime by the Thai army.
About the S 1000 XR
Gym? No way.
In order to keep her body in shape, Gebauer originally wanted to train in the gym. But she found it too boring and impersonal. She attended several boxing clubs in Munich and encountered the legendary Muay Thai pro Günter Scheller. He showed her the martial art and Gebauer realised that this was the right type of sport for her. Ten months later, she had her first competition. "I was very nervous before my first fight, because I knew that I would come up against a tough opponent after this short training period. But I wanted to face this challenge", she says looking back.
From beginner to fierce opponent.
Gebauer lost her first fight. But she realised that she had to face this challenge again. "I started off training twice a week. This soon became twice a day", she says. In no time at all, she had become a pro – and a fierce opponent. Because behind that pretty face hides an irrepressible iron will. So great that Gebauer even accepts the risk of injury that is part and parcel with this type of sport. "I am working on myself to ensure that I don't get injured. Because I have to pick up the tab for this", she says referring to her modelling career.
Knockout with the elbow.
Broken bones and impacts are a regular occurrence in Muay Thai, primarily because full use of physical strength is permitted. During the fight, you can bring your entire body into play", Gebauer explains.
"It's not just about hitting like it is with boxing. Muay Thai also has combative elements, which are reminiscent of the ring". Gebauer often uses her elbow in Thai boxing. "The elbow is the hardest bone in the body, which makes it a good K.O. weapon".
I love feeling the power on the motorcycle.
Patricia Gebauer
Feeling of liberty on the motorcycle.
Injuries or not – Gebauer wants to keep practising Thai boxing for at least another five years. In order to keep updated with the martial art sport, she travels to Thailand every year, where she learns the latest fighting techniques.
In south east Asia, she discovered motorcycling for herself. On the little travelled streets of the Thai backlands, she experienced the feeling of absolute freedom. "I love being so free and feeling the power on the motorcycle. It feels as if I could master anything!"
What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing, is the national sport in Thailand. It evolved from traditional martial arts and originated from ancient battlefields. The fight usually takes place in the ring with boxing gloves. During the fight, the use of feet, shins, fists, elbows and knees is permitted. Another feature is clinching. Due to the risk of injury, Muay Thai is among the toughest fighting sports in the world.

Jpmorgan Chase Bank N.A. v. Jones
Court of Appeals of Illinois, First District, Fourth Division
JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATES, as Successor by Merger to Chase Home Finance LLC, Successor by Merger to Illinois Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation, Plaintiff-Appellee,
SHELDON V. JONES and ZATAUNIA TAITT, Defendants Zataunia Taitt, Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County. No. 2011 CH 21623 The Honorable Gerald V. Cleary, Judge, presiding.
JUSTICE GORDON delivered the judgment of the court, with opinion. Presiding Justice McBride and Justice Reyes concurred in the judgment.
GORDON JUSTICE
¶ 1 Eight years ago, on June 16, 2011, plaintiff, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (Chase), filed a complaint against defendants, Sheldon V. Jones and Zataunia Taitt, husband and wife, to foreclose a mortgage. On January 23, 2017, summary judgment was granted in favor of Chase, and the trial court entered an order of judgment and foreclosure.
¶ 2 On this appeal, Taitt is the sole appellant, representing herself pro se; and she raises a number of claims including a lack of personal jurisdiction over her and a lack of standing by Chase. For the following reasons, we do not find her claims persuasive and affirm.
¶ 3 BACKGROUND
¶ 4 The subject property is an owner-occupied single-family home in Homewood, Illinois, which was mortgaged on June 23, 2001, by defendants Sheldon V. Jones and Zataunia Taitt, also known as Zataunia R. Jones. The original mortgagee was First Home Mortgage, with an address in Melville, New York, and it recorded the mortgage in Cook County on July 10, 2011. The original indebtedness was for $164, 125.
¶ 5 On June 16, 2011, Chase filed a complaint alleging that defendants had not paid the monthly installments for November 1, 2009, through June 16, 2011, or almost two years, and that the balance then due was $156, 978.09, plus interest. The June 23, 2001, mortgage and note, bearing the signatures of both defendants, was attached as an exhibit to Chase's complaint.
¶ 6 On July 15, 2011, Taitt, signing as "Zataunia R. Taitt-Jones" and acting pro se, filed an "Appearance and Jury Demand," with her home address given as the subject property. On the same day, the trial court also granted her application to proceed as an indigent person, without payment of fees, costs, or charges. In her application, she stated that she was 40 years old, that she had been unemployed since June 4, 2002, and that her last job was as a mail handler for the United States Post Office.
¶ 7 On August 10, 2011, Taitt filed a "Verified Answer to Complaint to Foreclose Mortgage." In the answer, she admitted, among other things, the date and original amount of the mortgage and that she and defendant Jones had executed the note and were the mortgagors. She stated that she had insufficient knowledge to admit or deny the paragraph in Chase's complaint that alleged "[m]ortgagors have not paid the monthly installments of principal, taxes, interest and insurance for 11/01/2009, through the present." Under "[o]ther affirmative matter" in her answer, she alleged: "No assignment is attached to the Complaint."
¶ 8 Chase later filed an "Assignment of Mortgage," dated August 29, 2001, in which First Home Mortgage assigned the mortgage on the subject property to Chase.
¶ 9 On September 2, 2011, Chase filed an affidavit from a process server, dated July 6, 2011, averring that he served defendant Taitt on June 18, 2011, by leaving a copy of the summons and complaint at the subject property with her son, who appeared to be age 25. The attached summons stated that it included: "Important Information for Homeowners in Foreclosure. How to Save Your Property-Please read-Do not ignore." The summons included a "Notice to Homeowners" that included information concerning "Free Help to Homeowners in Foreclosure." Chase's attorney also filed an "Affidavit to Allow Service by Publication," averring that, upon diligent inquiry, he could not ascertain the whereabouts of defendant Jones.
¶ 10 On July 11, 2014, an attorney filed an additional appearance on behalf of Taitt but moved to withdraw on October 23, 2015. In the motion to withdraw, he stated that he had filed an answer with defenses, discovery requests, and a reply to Chase's motion to strike Taitt's affirmative defense. The trial court's order, dated December 1, 2015, granted the attorney's motion to withdraw.
¶ 11 On January 29, 2016, Chase moved for judgment of foreclosure and later amended its foreclosure motion to add a motion for summary judgment. As part of its motion, Chase included a copy of the "Assignment of Mortgage," dated August 29, 2001, in which First Home Mortgage assigned the mortgage on the subject property to Chase. The trial court set a briefing schedule, which was extended several times, and Taitt filed a response on December 2, 2016.
¶ 12 On January 23, 2017, the trial court granted summary judgment to Chase and entered a judgment of foreclosure, as well as an order of default, against defendant Sheldon V. Jones. The appellate record contains several notices of sale, with proof of mailing. The notices were (1) filed March 13, 2017, for sale on April 25, 2017; (2) filed May 18, 2017, for sale on June 16, 2017; (3) filed February 23, 2018, for sale on March 26, 2018; and (4) filed May 8, 2018, for sale on June 7, 2018. For each notice, there is a form entitled "Proof of Mailing Notice of Sale," that states that the notice was served on Taitt at her address at the subject property "by depositing the same in the U.S. mail *** with the proper postage prepaid." The forms state that they were signed by an "office clerk," named Jon-nel Allen, under penalty of perjury. On June 5, 2018, Taitt filed a motion to stay the sale on June 7. On June 6, 2018, ...


TOFINO, BRITISH COLUMBIA — It's late November and I am flying to Tofino to take part in a growing phenomenon that has gained nearly as much coverage as surfing — storm watching on the Pacific coast. My short flight on Orca Air from Vancouver took place on a fiercely sunny and clear day. In fact, the forecast for the three days I was going to be in Tofino didn't call for nary a raindrop.
Even though I had come for storm watching, I wasn't about to complain about the sun-drenched weather. As soon as I landed, with the wind gently whipping my face, I took in the wild beauty of Chesterman Beach, just outside the doors of the Wickaninnish Inn. But it isn't just the sun that has people visiting from all corners of the world, but the raw natural beauty for which Tofino is renowned.
The village was named Vacay.ca's No. 3 Best Place to Visit in Canada for 2016 because it has emerged as more than just a summer destination — thanks largely to the popularity of its storm-watching opportunities.
In the fall and winter the waves can reach heights of 15 to 18 feet, as they crash against the rocks. I arrived around noon and checked in at the five-star Wickaninnish Inn. My suite took full advantage of the spectacular ocean views, with a luxurious down duvet-covered bed and a cozy fireplace next to the floor-to-ceiling window. At night, I sat on our deck in Adirondack chairs, snuggled in a wool blanket, sipping a glass of wine while listening to the ocean soundtrack.
Earlier in the day, I had visited the hotel's Pointe Restaurant — which boasts breathtaking views of the coastline from every table. Executive chef Warren Barr crafted a menu full of locally sourced, and as much as possible, organic ingredients from the island. The fine-dining eatery showcases a weekly four-course tasting menu, which you can order with or without wine pairings. I opted for the albacore tuna salad, which featured thick slices of raw tuna on a bed of citrus infused greens.
Before dinner, I took time to check out what Tofino had to offer. We meandered in and out of an eclectic mix of quaint artisan shops. Then it was off to Shelter Restaurant for a culinary treat. Like most restaurants here, Shelter serves up some of the province's freshest and most sustainable seafood. This rustic yet sophisticated eatery is laid-back country chic with its wood ceilings and floor-to-ceiling fireplaces. It offers a sumptuous and innovative menu, using locally produced ingredients.
For our entrees, I went for the red Thai coconut curry, chockful of locally sourced halibut, lingcod, salmon and more. After dinner, I sat by the roaring fireplace to enjoy a glass of Burrowing Owl Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the following day, the sun was barely up when I decided to head out for a walk. One of the best places I know to take in all that makes Tofino so great is Pacific Rim National Park, a 16-kilometre (10 miles) strip of sand framed by windswept, old-growth conifers and tangled driftwood. You can walk all day or climb Incinerator Rock for stunning ocean vistas. With its sandy beaches, towering rain forest and abundance of wildlife sightings, you can spend hours exploring this vast park.
My walk was just steps from both the Wickaninnish Inn and the Chesterman Beach B&B. Voted TripAdvisor's Top B&B in Canada in 2013, the Suites and Cottage at Chesterman Beach include a Zen-inspired retreat nestled in the old-growth trees and oozing with rustic charm.The beach it's on boasts a 2.7-km (1.7 miles) stretch of white sand, showcased by uber-luxurious homes, tide pools and sandspit to Frank Island. Once I checked in, I was ensconced in the charming Lookout Suite — with its four-poster bed, large soaker tub and gas fireplace. I spent a few hours lulled by the sound of the waves as I cozied up reading, awaiting the tides to grow higher as they rolled in.
Getting there: The fastest and best way to go is by air. Orca Air flies frequently from Vancouver International's South Terminal. Visit: www.flyorcaair.com or call toll free at 1-888-359-6722. The flight is less than one hour. By Car: BC Ferries goes to Nanaimo from either Horseshoe Bay or Tsawwassen terminals. Then, it's about a 2.5-hour road trip.
Where to Stay: Wickaninnish Inn is a Relais & Châteaux property on Chesterman Beach. Telephone: 1-800-333-4604 (toll free). Website: www.wickinn.com. Room Rates: $300 (Sunday to Thursday); $340 to $975 per night (weekends). The Wick has seized a prime position on this particular stretch of sand and specializes in giving its guests a front-row seat for some of Tofino's best storm watching.
Chesterman Beach Bed & Breakfast: The Suites and Cottage at Chesterman Beach are a favourite with travellers looking for privacy and comfort right on the beach. Telephone: 1-250-725-3726. Room Rates: $185 to $255 during storm-watching season.
Vacay.ca Tip: If you prefer storm-watching from the comfort of your room, then alternatively wrap yourself in a blanket, grab a good read from the bookshelves and watch the weather from a window seat. The best storm-watching season runs from November to March.
