Boscastle Headlands
A circular walk from Boscastle to Pentargon waterfall and Willapark coastguard lookout with magnificent views of the village and harbour from the headlands where the village women once gathered dressed in red to fool a French ship into fleeing from British army redcoats.
From the harbour, the route follows the Panoramic Path, with excellent views over the village, then crosses fields to reach the Coast Path overlooking Pentargon waterfall and follows this towards Boscastle, with spectacular views of the harbour on the descent. The route crosses the harbour to the coastguard lookout at Willapark and returns via Forrabury common and church and along Boscastle's Old Road.
There is only 1 (stone) stile on this walk. Less athletic dogs may need a little help. Route includes paths close to unfenced cliff edges.
Loved this walk when we completed it a few months ago. Although it was a cold, misty grey day, the scenery was fantastic & very atmospheric
I've done this walk for over 50 yrs, being born & bred in Boscastle...always stunning, & views are amazing

From the car park, turn left and follow the road to a wooden signpost just before the bridge.
Boscastle is a small fishing village located on the North Cornish coast, just north of Tintagel. Boscastle is one of the few sheltered inlets on the North Cornish coast and therefore a likely landing point for tin traders of ancient times, possibly as far back as Phoenician traders in 2000 BC. The river also provided power for a number of mills which date back at least as far as the 12th Century. In more recent times, as well as being a fishing harbour, Boscastle was a small port (similar to the others on the north coast of Cornwall) importing raw materials such as limestone and coal, and exporting slate and other local produce. In Victorian times, as many as 200 vessels came each year, mostly from Bristol and South Wales.
In 1302 the name was recorded as Boterelescastel which meant "castle of the Botterels". It's possible this became shortened to bos because this was the Cornish word for dwelling ("bos-castel" would have been understood by Cornish speakers as "village with the castle" as the word kastell also existed in Cornish).
Turn right at the signpost and follow the path along the right-hand side of the river, past the Visitor Centre to another bridge.
The building just before the Visitor Centre is the old lime kiln.
The lime kiln in Boscastle is located next to the Visitor's Centre, beside the harbour. It was built in late 18th century and was used to convert imported limestone into quicklime, using either culm (soft sooty coal found in North Devon and Northeast Cornwall) or "proper" coal shipped in from South Wales to fire the kiln. The lime was used to reduce the acidity of the soil in the fields (improving the absorption of nitrates from animal dung) and also to make mortar, plaster and whitewash for the cottages.
Turn right up the track between the Witchcraft Museum and the Harbour Light café, signposted to Pentargon, and follow it to fork.
The Museum of Witchcraft is located in Boscastle, on the north bank of the river, close to the harbour. It's just past the Visitor's Centre and before the Harbour Light café. The 50 year old museum is the largest of its kind in the world. It was badly damaged by the flood in 2004 but has been fully restored.
Bear right to the Panoramic Path signpost and turn right to follow the Panoramic Path until it eventually ends at a gate.
The building below on your left is the Harbour Light café.
The Harbour Light café is located in Boscastle, close to the harbour on the north bank of the River Jordan, near the witchcraft museum and youth hostel. The Harbour Light was originally built in the 16th Century. After many years of being used to house pigs, it was bought in the 1950s and carefully renovated using local materials for use a gift shop. During a subsequent round of renovations in the 1990s, a "time capsule" (a glass coffee jar) was embedded in the wall of the shop. The beautiful old building was one of the most photographed in Boscastle. Then sadly in 2004, the Harbour Light was almost entirely swept away by the flood. After the flood, the time capsule was found, still intact, washed up 60 miles away on Woolacombe Beach near Ilfracombe. The building has been rebuilt as a fairly faithful copy of the original, and is now a café.
Go through the gate and head uphill to cross two driveways and reach a kissing gate. Go through the gate and follow the fence on the right to another kissing gate.
From 1862, a stream-powered traction engine was used to bring manganese ore 3 times a week from the Trebursye mine near Launceston to the manganese mill in Boscastle, and return with coal from the harbour. The huge engine had back wheels 8 feet high and damaged the road surfaces, breaking the stone coverings of watercourses. Its chimney belched black smoke and sparks which set hedges and even one man's shirt on fire! The engine also frequently broke down, blocking the road for horses and carts. The unimpressed locals branded it "The Juggernaut".
Go through the kissing gate and bear left slightly to follow the bottom of the hill across the field to a stone stile near the opposite corner, approx 20m to the left of a waymarked gateway.
Cross the stile and turn left onto the coast path. Follow this along the wall on the left until you eventually pass through one gate and, a little further on, reach a kissing gate at the end of the wall.
The small stream at Pentargon, just north of Boscastle, drops down a 120ft waterfall from a hanging valley to the sea. In contrast, the larger Valency River at Boscastle has cut a deep canyon, forming the harbour, and the valley floor slopes to meet the sea.
Go through the kissing gate to a waymark and turn left. Follow the path down towards the harbour until you reach a waymark at the top of a flight of steps.
Towards the end of Penally Point, the headland that forms the right side of the natural harbour, is a natural blowhole.
Below Penally Point, the headland which forms the right wall of the natural harbour of Boscastle, is a natural blowhole. Around an hour each side of low tide, when a swell is running (which is most of the time in North Cornwall), the blow hole shoots a horizontal jet of water across Boscastle harbour and emits a thundering sound, hence it is also known as the Devil's Bellows. There is a cave all the way through Penally Point from the blowhole, following a fault in the rock. Inside is a large cavern and when the water rushes through from the outside, it compresses the air in the cavern which vents through the blowhole. Eventually the sea will erode away all the rock along this fault, forming a new island at the mouth of the harbour.
Follow the steps down to emerge on the path below and turn left. Follow the path until it emerges by a terrace of cottages.
Penally Terrace in Boscastle gets is name from Penally Hill on which it is situated, above the Harbour Light café. Penally Terrace was formerly a fish cellar, purpose-built in the late 18th century when the pilchard trade was at its heydey. The original arrangement would probably have been open sheds on the ground floor and net lofts above, arranged around the central courtyard. They were converted into domestic accommodation in the early to mid nineteenth century. It seems that Boscastle's pilchard industry may have peaked a little earlier than Port Isaac where the new cellars were not built until the 1820s.
Walk along the front of the cottages and bear right down the drive to reach the bridge over the river, next to the Visitors' Centre.
Boscastle's Visitors' Centre is located on the north bank of the river, just before it reaches the harbour. The building housing the Visitors' Centre is the former pilchard cellars of the fishing village, which were known as the "Bridge Cellars". By the mid-eighteenth century, the quay had been improved and repaired and was receiving salt from Bristol for the pilchard industry. Around this time, the cellars, that have since been converted to the Visitor's Centre and café, were constructed as purpose-built fish cellars arranged around a central courtyard.
Cross the bridge onto the other side of the river and take the track signposted to the coast path. Follow it a short distance to a fork.
As you cross the bridge, the terrace of cottages to your left on the opposite bank were once a manganese mill.
The terrace of cottages opposite Boscastle's visitor's centre (on the other side of the river) was once a manganese mill. The mill was used to crush the ore to a powder which was then exported by ship for a variety of uses: glass manufacturers for colourising; cotton mills for bleach-making; and steelmakers for hardening iron. Whilst manganese is an essential trace element, prolonged high doses are toxic and the harm from the dust in the air, in mills such as this, was not known about until late Victorian times.
At the fork, keep left to follow the stony track, passing one waymarked path to reach another waymarked path just before a gate.
The small house at the end of the terrace on your left is known as The Old Store House.
The house now known as The Old Store House is located on the harbour opposite to Boscastle Visitors' Centre. Although the name might suggest storage of cargo, in fact it was built to store horse-drawn rocket-firing equipment for marine rescue.
At the waymark, bear left up the steps and follow the path a short distance to where it joins another.
The adjoining pair of cottages by the harbour wall in Boscastle, known as Highwater and Highwater Cottage, were built at different times. The cottage on the right with four-paned windows dates from the mid nineteenth century. The left-hand cottage with the protruding upper windows is older and is thought to date from around the mid-late eighteenth century. It's thought the latter could be the former Sun Dial Inn which was listed for sale in 1792 and has since vanished. The proximity of the inn to the harbour would certainly have been good for "passing trade" from thirsty sailors coming ashore.
Bear right at the junction and follow the path to another waymark at a junction of paths on the headland.
The steep-sided valley of the river Valency forms a sheltered natural harbour at Boscastle. The two stone harbour walls date back to Elizabethan times, built in 1584. The outer breakwater was built in 1820, but destroyed in 1941 by a drifting mine and then rebuilt by the National Trust.
The harbour was very difficult to approach in a sailing ship and it was not safe for ships to enter under their own sail. On a ship's arrival, a boat with eight men, known as a "hobbler", would go out to tow them into the harbour, whilst men on the shore held the ship in the middle of the channel, using ropes.
From the waymark, follow the steps of the coast path gradually up the headland until you reach a pair of gates.
There are excellent views over Boscastle Harbour from this stretch of path. You can also take a short diversion to the right onto the quay, returning here to continue the walk. The rocky island in the mouth of the harbour is The Meachard.
The Meachard is an island rock in the mouth of Boscastle Harbour. In the spring and summer, it is home to colonies of seabirds, in particular razorbills which can be seen tumbling off the edge of the rock and spreading their wings at the very last moment before hitting the sea. There is a small blowhole on the inside of the island which can be seen venting spray when the sea is rough.
Go through the gate on the right, in the direction of Willapark shown on the waymark. Follow the path, bearing right when it merges with another, to reach the coastguard lookout.
Boscastle Coastguard Lookout is located on Willapark headland, to the south of Boscastle's harbour. The coastguard lookout was built in the 1800s, originally as a summerhouse, by a successful merchant, similarly to Doyden Castle at Port Quin. After this, it was leased to the Board of Trade and used by the Revenue men to prevent smuggling. When duties were cut and smuggling collapsed, it was used as a coastguard lookout until the 1970s. After this, it was acquired by the National Trust and maintained as a folly. In 2002 it was leased to the National Coastwatch Institute and is now run as a voluntary lookout.
Pass around the coastguard lookout to face inland then follow the path along the right-hand side of the headland. Keep following the path until it ends at a gate.
On your right is Western Blackapit which is a notorious spot for shipwrecks.
In January of 1843, the Jessie Logan was enroute from Calcutta to Liverpool, with a mixed cargo. On 16th January, a heavy gale drove it on the shore and it struck, between three and four in the afternoon, on the rocks near Blackapit, on the approach to Boscastle Harbour. All the crew perished. A great part of her cargo came ashore including bags containing rice, sugar, and some cotton. Customs officers and the coast guard attempted to protect the cargo from a crowd of locals armed with sticks, which involved punches being thrown and cutlasses wielded. Despite their efforts, a large amount was carried off by the locals. The two ringleaders were later prosecuted "for feloniously plundering and stealing from a ship" and received twelve months of Hard Labour.
Go through the gate and turn right onto the coast path. Follow it a short distance to where a path splits off from the coastpath to go inland. Follow the inland path to reach a waymark beside the churchyard.
At the bottom of the cliffs on your right, debris from the wrecked ship Alliance was washed up.
The Alliance was a ship wrecked near Boscastle, with debris washing up just west of Boscastle near Willapark headland. In December 1884, the steam-powered cargo freighter disappeared while enroute from Cardiff to St Nazaire with a cargo of coal from the Welsh valleys. The type of coal she was carrying was liable to produce methane in wet conditions and was known to cause ships to spontaneously explode. However, an investigation found the ship to be well ventilated and in good seaworthy condition when she left port and they concluded that the ship probably foundered off the North Cornish coast in the North Westerly gale. All 16 members of the crew perished.
From the waymark, follow the path ahead keeping the wall of the churchyard on your right until you reach a gate into the churchyard.
The area of narrow fields on your left is known as Forrabury Stitches.
Forrabury Common, overlooking Boscastle, can be reached via the coast path from Boscastle, or the path from Forrabury church. The Common is divided into 42 plots known as Stitches. This was a mediaeval form of land tenure called Stitch Meal, where long, curving plots of land with 1-2 feet of grass in between, are planted with different crops. The Stitches are most visible between late March and late September; over the winter, the Common is grazed.
Go through the gate on the right and follow the path through the churchyard to the church.
St. Symphorian's Church, on Forrabury Common above Boscastle, was originally built over 900 years ago and featured in the poetry of J.S. Hawker as "the silent tower of Bottreaux". According to legend, it has no bells because the ship carrying them was hit by a freak wave and went down just off the coast, with only one survivor. In Victorian times, the main part of the church was rebuilt and extended significantly, but the original Norman tower was left intact.
At the church door, turn right and follow the path out of the churchyard gate. Once through the gate, bear left past the bench and cross over a track, heading downhill to reach the lane.
Along the path to the right from the church gate is a 10th Century granite wayside cross. The back of it has drill holes from where it had been used as a gatepost by a local farmer until being rescued by the Victorian gentry and relocated near the church.
Turn left onto the lane and follow it downhill to a junction with the main road.
The site of Bottreaux Castle can be reached by a small diversion; on reaching the junction with the main road, cross onto the lane opposite and bear right, following the lane uphill and around a long left corner until you see a signposted path to Bottreaux Castle on your left.
The site of Bottreaux Castle is located on the west side of the Jordan Valley in Boscastle, about half way down the old main road; there is a signposted path to the old castle site. Bottreaux Castle was the 12th century fortress of the de Botterells which included extensive dungeons. Very little apart from the mound now remains, as over the centuries the residents of Boscastle "reused" stones from the castle to build their houses, but it provides a good view point over the village and harbour.
The stream at the floor of the valley is the River Jordan.
The River Jordan joins the River Valency at the Bridge in Boscastle and collects water from another steep-sided valley, doubling the floodwaters that descend on Boscastle in heavy rain. The name is thought to be a corruption of the French - jardin - from Norman times, and may refer to the gardens surrounding Bottreaux Castle, which could conceivably have run down to the river. The River Jordan was originally the dividing line between the separate parishes of Forrabury and Minster until they were united in 1702.
Cross the road onto the lane opposite, and follow this downhill to a junction onto Old Road. Turn left and walk down the hill back into Boscastle until the road ends in a T-junction next to The Wellington Inn.
The Wellington Hotel is located at the bottom of the old main road in Boscastle, across the road from the harbour. "The Welly", as it's known locally, is the old village coaching inn. Some parts of the building are 4 centuries old, but most of it dates from 1853 when the number of travellers to the area increased. It was once called the Bos Castle Hotel, but was renamed on the death of the Duke of Wellington in 1852. The lamps are originally from St Juliot Church and were quite possibly designed by Thomas Hardy.
Turn right at the junction and follow the main road over the bridge back to the car park.
Opposite the entrance to the car park is the Cobweb Inn.
The Cobweb Inn is a public house located in Boscastle at the south-east edge of the village, opposite the public car park. The inn was previously a wine cellar and flour store dating from the late 1700s. It has traditionally always had cobwebs hung from the roof beams as apparently this was thought to keep flies off stored wines and spirits. It was converted to a pub in 1947 when tourism to North Cornwall surged after the end of the war. The cobwebs remained on the beams until the 1990's, when Health and Safety inspectors required that they be removed.

Mir Misbahuddin, is Professor of Pharmacology in the Faculty of Basic Science and Paraclinical Science, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. He received his MBBS (1979) from the Mymensingh Medical College under The University of Dhaka, and PhD (1988) from The University of Tokushima School of Medicine, Tokushima, Japan. He joined as Associate Professor at the Institute of Postgraduate Medicine and Research, Dhaka in 1993 and was promoted to Professor in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in 2001. His research interest is to find out the drug for the treatment of arsenicosis. In addition, he is conducting clinical trials and bioequivalence study. He is, currently, the editor of Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology. He was the editor of Bangladesh Medical Research Council Bulletin, Bangladesh Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, Teachers" Association Journal. His keen interest is in the field of both asynchronous and synchronous virtual pharmacology. In asynchronous teaching, a student can use the teaching contents from a website at anytime, from anywhere and several times. In the synchronous teacher, he is trying to arrange live lectures for students of Pharmacology at under – and post-graduate level from home and abroad. He edited six books on his subject.
1. Why did I Decide to Write this Book?
I considered deeply who will be the reader before deciding to write this book. When you look at the Indian history of educational system, guardian sent his child to the teacher's house (Gurugriho) for learning. Subsequently teacher shifted his class from the house to under a tree when the number of students increased. Later on, teaching was limited to textbook and brick-based face to face teaching at classroom. At present teaching contents are available in internet.
Arsenic contamination has changed our concept of safe drinking water. We failed to motivate our people, politicians and beurocrates to understand the risk assessment process that other risks to life and livelihood are as grave as arsenic. A lot of information is available about arsenic and arsenicosis in internet. Reader has less time to read those and sometime confused which are authentic.
2. Who is the Reader?
Doctor working in the arsenic endemic area will be the reader of this book.
How I became a Toxicologist?
I joined in my present working place as Associate Professor in 1993. The research activities in our department were mainly focused on the therapeutic effects of spirulina, a blue-green algae. High concentration of arsenic in the drinking water as well as case of arsenicosis was first diagnosed in Bangladesh in 1993. Two to three years were required for official recognition of this disease by the Government of Bangladesh. In 1997, one of our MPhil students showed interest to examine the curative effect of spirulina in arsenicosis as a part of his thesis work. At that time we had no facility for the estimation of arsenic in water or urine. We, then, started to use the qualitative method (Gutzeit's test) for the presence of arsenic. Then we conducted an open trial on a few cases of arsenicosis with spirulina, which is available in our drug store as alternative medicine. Therefore, we purchased spirulina powder and then provided to patients as a part of treatment because there was no specfic treatment of arsenicosis. Surprising results were obtained when we saw the clinical improvement after 4 months of treatment. That study was not well designed and we did not estimate the amount of arsenic in hair or nail. Only urine of the patient was examined for the presence of arsenic in order to confirm the diagnosis. Then I thought how spirulina relieved arsenicosis. I placed some spirulina powder in an ordinary syringe (5 mL) and placed vertically like a column chromatography. I poured some amount of arsenic contaminated water at the top of spirulina powder and then collected water sample in a test tube placed at the bottom. The water sample was then tested for total arsenic level. Arsenic was not found when it passed through spirulina. Then my idea was shifted from spirulina to water hyacinth. As arsenic is present in underground water in Bangladesh, but not in surface water like pond or river. Pond contains a lot of water hyacinth. Like spirulina, water hyacinth may have an important role in removing arsenic from pond's water. I collected some water hyacinth and placed in a bucket containing arsenic contaminated water. Again I surprized to see that water hyacinth removed arsenic from water within a few hours.
When I go through the published articles on arsenic, I found that Bangladesh is severely affected by chronic poisoning with high concentration of arsenic. Most of the research works were done on epidemiology and mitigation. Only a few papers were on the treatment of arsenicosis.
Then I decided to start research to find out a drug that will be effective for the treatment of arsenicosis. I changed my laboratory setup that is gradually shifted from the Gutzeit's method to other methods using spectrophotometer, atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS).
3. What Initiates me to Write this Book?
One day I received an email from the Science Publishing Group to wtire a book. Then I decided to write a book on arsenicosis.
I wanted to solve a number of questions that had been raised in a scientific saminar on "Arsenic: Health effects, mechanism of action and research issue" held in September, 1997 at Maryland, USA.
I wrote two arsenic related books. These previuos experiences helped me in writing this book.
A lot of information is given in this book. Only the future will tell what percentage of the information in this book is correct.

Created for people struggling with out of control debt, a Trust Deed Shawlands is a formal, voluntary contract with creditors. It can wipe out debt by way of one reduced monthly instalment dependant on whatever you can afford. The procedure is fixed-term, meaning upon the completion of the agreed timespan typically 48 months each of your left over debt is totally wiped out – on the condition that all payments are met.
After we have set up your regular payment programme you will be protected from creditors. They can no longer get in touch with you directly regarding cash, and no longer have the option to take legal action against you. Your creditors only contact us, and we will pass on all relevant details directly to you. Trust Deeds were developed to assist the thousands of Scots battling with their finances to build a brand new start without needing to consider the serious measure of declaring bankruptcy.
To meet the criteria, you need live in Scotland, or have been inside the last year, hold outstanding debt in excess of £5000 in unsecured finance, and also be in a situation in which you cannot repay the whole amount which you owe.
Our advisers will also take some information regarding your income, as well as any any relevant assets, so that they can determine whether or not you could make a monthly repayment which will suit your creditors. For creditors to consent, you must usually be able to pay back 10% of what is supposed to be paid.
The process of getting everything established with our company is a series simple and easy, manageable steps.
Step 1: As soon as you get in touch with our team we will look into your financial situation and familiarise ourselves with your circumstances. Once we are familiar with your situation we will figure out what you can reasonably pay each monthly installment without allowing you to carry on struggling.
Advice from us is free and unbiased. There is zero-obligation to take any further steps towards a debt solution after our discussion, and no charges apply.
Step 2: If you choose to continue, our company will become your formal trustee. We will convey the conditions of the arrangement to your creditors, outlining how your assets are going to be handled (your home and vehicle are secure in most cases), and tell them how much of the debt you owe that they can be prepared to obtain across the predetermined fixed term.
The creditors involved then have five weeks to accept the conditions. If any objections we obtain do not exceed 1 third of the value of the debt you owe, then the process can go forward – accomplishing protected status. If creditors never answer to the proposition the assumption is that they have accepted the conditions.
Should the proposal fail during this period then we can offer alternative financial guidance on how is best to proceed.
Step 3: The trust deed Debt Advice Glasgow will now have gained protected status. From here, your creditors cannot threaten you with legal action or attempt to get in touch through any medium.
All that you have got to do is provide your singular decreased regular monthly payment; our consultants will handle the rest.
Step 4: All going well, after the 48 month fixed term you'll have paid, meaning than all of those debts that remain will probably be written off entirely. It is illegal for the creditors to attempt to get any more money from you.
Regain charge of your finances allowing us to transfer your unmanageable debts into a single cheaper monthly repayment.
Once you have entered into the agreement, your existing debt is frozen throughout the agreed term – no more charges, for instance interest, can be added onto the total.
All of the actual complex administrative stuff is handled by our advisers.
Creditors cannot carry out legal action to get cash from you.
There are no extra fees for our expert services, they are commonly included in your monthly payment, or in some instances from the sale of any appropriate assets.
After all repayments are actually achieved, ordinarily after around 48 months, all outstanding debts to creditors included in the arrangement are written off.
After a fixed term, your credit score will be totally reset, which gives you more freedom to take care of your financial situation from then on.
A Trust Deed is a good way to protect your most vital assets, while paying off your debts due to the overall flexibility it will offer.
Your Home – Unless you choose to do so, it is incredibly unlikely that you'll need to sacrifice your house. Our specialists will deal with your assets with the aim of keeping you in your house.
Even so, you may be required to release some equity (the difference between the market value of the residence and the debt to be paid on it) to satisfy creditors included in the contract. The equity, that we will have analysed at the outset of this process, may have to be realised (converted into cash) as part of the deal, however there are various approaches to do this without losing the house. These techniques of protecting your property will be explained to you by our specialists.
Your Car – It is also unusual to have to forfeit your vehicle if you need it for work or for family responsibilities.
Nonetheless, if the vehicle is brand new, or valued at a significant amount of money, you might be required to swap it in for a model of lesser value, releasing revenue to contribute towards your payments to creditors. If you are in some form of finance agreement to pay for your car, like Hire Purchase, it will be included in your regular costs.
Again, if the value of the car is extreme, it may have to be reconsidered, but generally we are able to ensure you keep the car.
For more information on whether you qualify to enter into a debt solution give our superb staff a call today. We are committed to assisting you to get back in control of your money using formal legislation like countless other Britons throughout the UK!

Indivisible Upper Yellowstone – Weekly Journal
The Week of Saturday, July 17 through Friday, July 23, 2021 [Vol.3 No.1]
Fire, Flood, Pandemic, and Politics
The third year of the Weekly Journal
Summarizing and briefly analyzing current (mostly political) events from a progressive perspective was and is the goal of this Weekly Journal. It's intended for busy people – a way to quickly review the week. However, it's often been difficult to keep it brief. The Trump administration generated a lot of "news," most of which was produced for effect, not consequence. That didn't end when Trump left office, as the current GOP is like a colony of various propaganda units tasked with flooding the media with anything to catch attention. It's hard to keep up separating the BS from the truth, especially for casual observers; it's even difficult for those who do it every week. Difficult, yes, but necessary for everyone to do their part. It was necessary to help flip the House in 2018. It was necessary to support electing Biden in 2020. It is necessary to protect our democracy in 2022. The stakes are still very high; the value of information obvious. So, the Indivisible Upper Yellowstone Weekly Journal goes into its third year.
Suggestions and new subscribers are welcome. Some have suggested adding graphics and pictures. That would be lovely, but unfortunately email, especially Google Mail, doesn't lend itself to professional looking graphics. Besides, the focus here is the information, text. There are many topics, in fact whole areas of information such as culture, which are seldom covered. As ever, the issue is brevity. Other suggestions or comments? Send them along to indivisible.upper.yellowstone@gmail.com. Other people to include in the mailing list? Use the same address for any requests.
The Week's Most Notable
The U.S. West is burning up, literally and figuratively. Big parts of Europe, followed by Iran, India, and China are flooding. And of course, there is the surging global coronavirus pandemic, spearheaded by the new Delta variant. It's not the apocalypse, but it might look like a practice run. It's important to understand that climate change runs through all of it, even the pandemic. Unfortunately, in the U.S. the climate change issue means dealing with everything complicated by partisan politics, very partisan politics. It's so bad that the GOP almost unanimously supported denial of mitigation and vaccination, a denial that would have inevitably wound-up self-selecting to kill its own people. This is in the face of a surge by the Delta variant that has more than tripled the number of new cases in the past two weeks – most of them in under-vaccinated red states. It's been difficult to convince people of how incredibly infectious this variant is. For example, with the original virus if one person in a family of eight came down with it one other family member might become infected. With the Delta variant all of the family would become infected. It's important to understand that people inside the right-wing information bubble don't know any of this and don't hear it either.
[Coronavirus] U.S. Coronavirus Totals: Cases: 34,839,719; Deaths: 624,889
[European Floods] Flood Victims in Germany, Belgium Exceed 180 – There have been worse floods in Europe, but this storm was notable for its surprise and dramatic impact. In fact, although the worst of it occurred in Germany and Belgium, the track of the storm produced flooding and damage across a wide swath of central Europe and on into Turkey, Iran, and eventually China. Conditions for this kind of flooding – hyper saturated hot summer air and a dramatic cold front trigger – are a more regularly occurring part of climate change.
[Western Wildfires] Seventy Active Wildfires in the US West – The massive 453 square mile Oregon Bootleg Fire leads the list, while wildfires in the Idaho Panhandle, Western Montana, Oregon, and Northern California continue to spread. This is preliminary to what is expected to be another heat dome forming by the end of next weekend.
[Pandemic Mitigation] Surgeon General Endorses Masks – As if to punctuate the rise in Delta variant cases, Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy said that he backs local use of masks, even by mandate, to deal with the increase. His remarks followed the restoration of an indoor mask requirement for Los Angeles County. Anti-mask riots are likely to follow in communities where coronavirus denial is strongest.
[Spyware] Israeli Spyware Part of Unchecked Private Surveillance Explosion – The Israeli firm NSO Group, a leader in the worldwide use of unregulated private spyware, has been linked to illegal surveillance of journalists, business executives, human rights activists, and politicians. This finding is a result of months of investigation by a consortium led by the Washington Post and 15 media partners. Addressed as "tip of the iceberg stuff," the story provides an introduction into the burgeoning world of private surveillance.
[Stock Market] U.S. Stocks Drop Because of COVID–Related Economic Fears – A 2% drop by the Dow and 1.6% drop by NASDAQ and S&P 500 signaled Wall Street's nervousness about the rise of the Delta variant and the impact it may have on the U.S. economy.
[Capitol Riot] First Sentencing for Capitol Rioter: Eight Months in Prison – This sentence is in all likelihood precedent-setting. The sentencing of Paul Hodgkins, who was recorded on the Senate floor during the riot and charged with obstructing an official proceeding, also includes two years of supervised release.
[Mueller Investigation] Tom Barrack, Trump Ally, Charged as Unregistered Foreign Agent – Allegedly working as an agent for the United Arab Emirates, he is also charged with lying to the FBI. Barrack, former head of Trump's inauguration committee and a major fundraiser, acted as a go-between and lobbyist for UAE businessmen and Congress. [Update: Barrack released on bail of $250 million, fourth highest on record. The bond security is only $5 million cash.]
[Coronavirus] India's Coronavirus Death Toll Closer to 4 million – A study by the U.S. Center for Global Development reports that the official India death toll of 400,000 is about an order of magnitude short of the roughly 4 million people recorded as dying during the same period, but not registered as dying from COVID-19. India has long been known for counting only the deaths that occur in hospitals after COVID-19 testing. Definitive numbers are unlikely to ever appear.
[Private Spaceflight] Bezos Goes Outré – The world's richest person shelled out a tiny fraction of his wealth to take a ride – in his own rocket – to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. Not likely to fire the imagination of many.
[Jan. 6 Committee] Pelosi Rejects Two GOP Nominees for Jan. 6 Committee – A typical sequence of events for this era: Dems and GOP spend months hammering out a bipartisan January 6 commission; Senate GOP rejects it. Pelosi forms a select committee in the House, calls for five Republican members. McCarthy nominates 3 out of 5 professional disruptors (including Jim Jordan); Pelosi rejects the two worst. McCarthy explodes about unprecedented, partisan committee and pulls all five. Apparently, the GOP really doesn't want the Capitol Insurrection to be investigated.
[Infrastructure] Senate Republicans Block Infrastructure Debate – It's just a test vote, pushed by Schumer to flush out Republican quislings on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Previous negotiations indicated that at least 10 Republicans would vote for the bill, but Democrats are wary of the old GOP "Lucy and the football snatch" gambit, meaning they appear to be going along with a measure and then torpedo it at the final vote – after wasting a lot of time. Next week could be make or break for this bill.
[Coronavirus – Economy] Delta Variant: Economists Say No Problem, Analysts Say Biden's Economy in Trouble – Summer has always been the silly season for political punditry; this one is worse than most. A Wall Street Journal report finds many economists predicting a healthy second half of the year for the economy as consumers spend and the Delta variant doesn't get out of hand. Other reports, also hitting major media, is that the Delta variant will get out of hand and the economy is in trouble, plus, somehow, it's Biden's fault.
[Pipelines] U.S., Germany Reach Agreement on Nordstream 2 Pipeline – This seems like an obscure piece of news, but it's actually pivotal for the economy of Europe and for world power dynamics. The Nordstream 2 pipeline is supposed to bring natural gas from Russia to Germany. It's vital for both economies, yet it also represents a political dilemma. Once built, the pipeline becomes a point of leverage – no one will want to endanger it, but the temptation to use it as a threat becomes greater. For years the U.S. has opposed the pipeline, in part because it threatens Ukraine's national security and gives too much power to Russia. It's believed the new deal includes commitments by Germany to protect Ukraine and not to allow the Russian leverage on the pipeline to affect immediate political policy. In short, economics wins as usual.
[Coronavirus] Daily Coronavirus Infections Triple as Delta Variant Takes over – In just over two weeks the surge has gone from 13,700 new cases on July 6 to more than 37,000 new cases on the 20th. As expected, the worst of the increases are in states where the vaccination rate is low – currently Florida, Texas, Missouri, and Southern California.
[Economy] Jobless Claims Jump – The Labor Department estimated there would be about 350,000 new applications for unemployment benefits; the actual number turned out to be 419,000. The news rattled Wall Street and was taken by some to be an indication of a faltering economy. Still others said that the impact of the new infections by the Delta variant was shaking up the employment picture, probably temporarily. Over the next couple of months, the economic situation will represent a battle between fundamentals – consumers and businesses spending more money, versus the Delta variant depressing economic factors in at least some regions of the country.
[Afghanistan] U.S. Airstrikes Counter Taliban Advances – There has been some confused reporting about U.S. involvement in Afghanistan after the troops are removed. The U.S. reportedly will continue to use airpower to support the Afghanistan government.
[Common Flu] Put "Flu Season" Back on the Calendar – Last year saw the lowest incidence of flu since 1997, thanks entirely to the mitigation efforts against COVID-19. This year, with so many of those efforts relaxed or simply dropped, the flu is expected to make a comeback. If so, it will complicate diagnosis and treatment of coronavirus symptoms, particularly the Delta variant which presents itself like a standard flu. Testing will be key.
[Coronavirus] Biden Administration to Greatly Expand COVID-19 Testing – The current figures show a serious decrease in the amount of testing done in the U.S., far below the levels common in much of Europe and especially Great Britain. At a time when the Delta variant is pushing the incidence of new infections, it's become imperative to get comprehensive and accurate testing. This includes the now almost emergency expenditure of nearly $2 billion to beef up testing.
[Supreme Court] Mississippi Files Brief to Overturn Roe v Wade – Of course it's come to this. If the court accepts the brief, arguments will begin this fall. Most betting is that the brief will be accepted but the case will be rejected.
[Olympics] Opening Day of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics – Competition began on Wednesday, the controversy – especially over the pandemic – has been continuous, there are no spectators to speak of even for the opening ceremony. It promises to be a very strange Olympics.
[Wildfires] California Dixie Fire Becomes a "Megafire" – Joining the Oregon Bootleg Fire in the category of a megafire, the Dixie Fire has grown to cover more than 221 square miles in northern California. It's late July, the fire season is just beginning in California.
[Afghanistan Refugees] U.S. Agrees to a Plan and Money for Afghan Refugees – The U.S. does not have the greatest reputation for saving native people who have supported our troops during our military excursions. (Think of the Kurds.) In this case, the Biden administration has agreed to $100 million in aid and an evacuation plan.
[Coronavirus] Some Republicans Appear to Be Reversing Position on Vaccines – After months in the "what pandemic?" and "we don't need no stinkin' vaccine" camp, a few noteworthy Republicans – usually associated with surges of the Delta variant in red states – such as McConnell, DeSantis, and the governor of Mississippi, have rather abruptly formed a small chorus chanting the praises of vaccination. Motivation and impact remain a bit mysterious.
Coronavirus Notes
Roughly a year ago, reports surfaced about a new aspect of the pandemic. People who had contracted COVID-19 and apparently recovered, suddenly developed serious medical problems that persisted, sometimes for many months. Eventually scientists demonstrated the correlation between having had coronavirus and the appearance of the other diseases; the condition was given a name: Long Covid. It was a difficult diagnosis because it affected all kinds of people, from kids to grandparents, men and women, those who had severe COVID-19 and even those who showed no symptoms. It was characterized by no specific illness, affecting, variously, heart, lungs, liver, brain, nerves and more. For the most part, it was severe; people with Long Covid generally couldn't work or even conduct a normal life. It took months to verify that the coronavirus was at work, and it's only been within the last two or three months that the general medical establishment began to take the problem seriously. Initially it was thought that Long Covid affected only some fraction of a percent of those infected. Recently, in the UK and Israel, the figure looks more like 3% to 5%. In short, tens of thousands of people are becoming "long haulers." Long haulers need a lot of expensive medical care. At this level, there is a significant medical, economic, and social impact. Epidemiologists are beginning to speak in terms of "primary COVID effects" – hospitalization and death, and "secondary COVID effects" – Long Covid.
Politics, Legislation, Election Notes
Take your pick: Democrats are hopeless; Democrats have almost got it all worked out. The media opinion over the two infrastructure bills and the voting rights bills seems to have bifurcated, split in two like a viper's tongue. It's frustrating, like the confusion caused when they say the Democrats want to "get rid of the filibuster" (do away with the filibuster altogether) or "modify the filibuster" (make, for example, a carveout for voting rights). Part of the media, not necessarily the right-wing media, draws a picture of Democrats in disarray (like that was something unusual) and the prospect of passing either infrastructure or voting bills becoming ever more unlikely, or that difficult negotiations are in progress and will wind up with agreements that lead to passing both infrastructure and voting rights bills. Neither casting, usually without details, is very helpful. No wonder that by default most Americans pay very little attention to the congressional sausage making. Those of us who care whether we're getting bratwurst or little sizzlers look at the current set of ingredients and divine that odds are better than even that the Democrats will get a bipartisan infrastructure bill, a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill, a modification of the filibuster, and probably a unified Voting Rights Bill before Congress goes into fall recess.
Pinned Trend: New variants: in the U.S. the Delta variant is now well known and by the end of next week will account for more than 90% of all cases. In Peru, the potentially more lethal Lambda variant has appeared. New variants such as "Delta+" and one in Vietnam get some media coverage but appear to be largely untracked.
Pinned Point: Until the filibuster rules are modified, most of the Biden agenda will not pass the Senate.
In a unanimous vote by lawmakers, Sierra Leone became the 23rd African country to abolish capital punishment. Critics called it an inhumane vestige of colonialism. . . . Nearly half of Africa's 54 independent countries have abolished the punishment, more than double the number from less than two decades ago.

Q: How do I detect the Connection Type based on the IP address? How do I detect the Connection Type based on the IP address?
Connection Type is for example like: Residential, Business, College, Work, Library, etc.
You probably can't detect it directly. But some sites kind of find out from where you are accessing.
You probably can't detect that reliably. But that's not important.
To find out the country based on IP address, I use MaxMind GeoIP for example.
Is there something similar for this problem?

A: You could...

*

*do a reverse-DNS lookup on the IP address

*extract the domain name

*use "whois" to get the owner information

*guess at the type of entity that owns that address

Not exactly the type of thing you can do in real-time or an every incoming connection, I expect, but with some clever caching and off-line work you might get something functional.

Home/Science/SpaceX completes 2022 with Israeli Imaging Satellite Launch
SpaceX completes 2022 with Israeli Imaging Satellite Launch
SpaceX capped off the busiest year in its two-decade history on December 30 with a Falcon 9 launch of a commercial Israeli imaging satellite.
A Falcon 9 lifted off at 2:38 am Eastern from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The rocket's first stage, flying its 11th mission, landed back at the launch site eight minutes after liftoff.
The Falcon 9 upper stage deployed its payload, the EROS C3 imaging satellite, nearly 15 minutes after liftoff. The satellite was released at an altitude of nearly 500 kilometers in an unusual mid-inclination retrograde orbit, rather than the sun-synchronous orbit commonly used for optical imaging spacecraft.
EROS C3 was built by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for ImageSat International, a Tel Aviv-based commercial imaging company. The 400-kilogram satellite, based on IAI's OPTSAT-3000 bus, is designed to take images at a resolution of 30 centimeters.
ImageSat International stated in a prospectus filed as part of that process that EROS C3 cost the company $186 million, a figure that included the spacecraft itself, the launch and insurance. The company planned to use part of the $100 million raised from going public to pay some of the remaining costs to build and launch the spacecraft.
EROS C3 joins EROS B, launched in 2006, as satellites owned and operated by ImageSat International. The company also offers imagery from two other satellites, which it calls EROS C1 and EROS C2, that are owned by an unnamed third party but have capabilities similar to EROS C3. Those satellites may be part of the Ofeq series of Israeli reconnaissance satellites, also built by IAI, which operate in mid-inclination retrograde orbits similar to EROS C3 because of the limitations of launching from Israel.
EROS C3 is part of ImageSat's EROS NG constellation, which includes EROS C1 and C2 as well as a planned future imaging satellite, EROS C4, slated for launch in 2026. EROS NG will also incorporate two synthetic aperture radar satellites that will be owned by an unnamed third party and commercialized by ImageSat.
The launch of EROS C3 completed the most active year to date for SpaceX. The company performed 61 launches, all successful, in 2022. All but one, a Falcon Heavy launch for the US Space Force, were of the company's Falcon 9 vehicle, which has become a workhorse for the global space industry.
The 61 launches SpaceX performed in 2022 exceeded a goal of 60 set by Elon Musk, founder and chief executive of SpaceX, in a tweet in March. Musk has not publicly stated how many launches he expects SpaceX to conduct in 2023, but SpaceX's first launch of the new year, the Transporter-6 dedicated rideshare mission, is scheduled for no earlier than Jan. 2 on a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40.

Whether you try one or all of these five techniques for coping with your growing family and at-home business, you'll find that it will take a bit of discipline to get your schedule back under control.
Just when I thought I had the perfect work-at-home routine, those two pink lines announced that I was no longer just the mom of a toddler. Beginning with the morning sickness, becoming a mom of two changed my predictable work schedule like a traffic jam on a road trip. While having both a two-year-old and a two-month-old in no way makes me an expert on parenting two kids, I have learned a few things, some of them the hard way, in my first few weeks working at home with both a toddler and a newborn. Here are a few of the dos and don'ts I've discovered for working at home with two children.
With my first, I thought multitasking was eating while holding a baby. Now, I'm nursing a baby while putting a thirty pound toddler in his crib and brainstorming ideas for my next writing project. Multitasking is an essential skill that grows in importance with the number of kids you have. What simple work-related tasks can you do while also accomplishing a simple mom task? Make phone calls while feeding the baby. Check email while giving the toddler the chance complete basic tasks independently (like brushing teeth and picking out clothes).
It's easy to get so caught up in getting work done that you forget you decided to work from home to spend more time with your kids. Multitasking is great, but it can and should have its limits. Set aside some time devoted entirely to your kids without work distractions. I found out very quickly after bringing my daughter home that my toddler behaved much better when I set aside some time just for him while his little sister naps—I even think I get more done that way. It doesn't have to be some big Pinterest-inspired project every day -- just time. Make cookies, color a picture, run around with a laundry basket on your head. They probably won't remember what you did, but they will remember that you were there for them.
It's amazing how much my productivity level changes when I have a set wake up time. Even if I'm only waking up early enough to shower and eat before the little ones are awake, I still get more to-dos crossed of my list. It's tough to get out of bed when you don't actually have to be anywhere, but getting up early (and getting out of your pjs) has a big impact on productivity. Now, if you have a baby that gets up several times a night, setting an alarm may not be feasible just yet and that's okay—it will come.
Congratulations, you've just multiplied your level of unpredictability by two. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a work schedule. It may not be a schedule that goes by the clock, but you should have dedicated work times. For me, weekday nap time = work time, independent playtime = housework. Unless there's a large amount of bodily fluids on a surface it shouldn't be on, I don't do housework while the little ones are napping. My schedule doesn't always match up with a clock, but I still have one that matches my kids' days.
That mom that always seems to have it together on Facebook? It's not true. No one can do it all 100 percent of the time. Don't try to be super mom 24/7—get some help. Whether it's sending the kids to grandma's one day each week, locking yourself in a room for an hour in the evening while Dad watches the kids, or enlisting the older child to help with the housework, find a way to have some time each week to work without distractions. Don't forget to schedule some time for yourself, too—even if it's just riding in the car without children's music on the radio or twenty minutes of your latest Netflix series fixation.
Maybe you'll be lucky and life with two kids will be simpler than with one—but the chaos level often multiplies as families grow (you wouldn't work from home if you didn't love that chaos, though, right?). Learn to multitask, but set exceptions and be there for your kids without distractions sometimes, too. Set an alarm and a work routine. Embrace the fact that no one has it all together—life's more interesting that way, anyhow.

Amongst one of the most common electrical wiring questions is on how to wire a swap. Although using switches in your house is quite quick, wiring a single may well not be that simple for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You'll find several types of switches, but for this example, let us say you will be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly prevalent swap (as well as the easiest).
You will find 3 colors of wires in a very common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and connect them to the terminal screws - 1 on leading along with the other within the bottom screw of the switch. The white wire serves for a source of uninterrupted electrical power and is also typically connected into a light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire into the ground screw of the change.
These techniques would commonly be ample to produce a typical swap do the job without having a dilemma. Nonetheless, when you are not self-confident that you simply can attain the process thoroughly and safely and securely you better let the professionals do it in its place. Following all, there's a purpose why this process is amongst the most common electrical wiring questions questioned by most of the people.
For a few explanation, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan can be amongst essentially the most typical electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this task, you should use only one switch for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it's merely a subject of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan to your black wire of the switch. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire ought to be connected on the black wire with the switch in addition.
You will find motives why these are generally one of the most frequently requested electrical wiring inquiries. A person, quite a few assume it's simple to do, and two, these are definitely the widespread electrical responsibilities at home. But then you certainly should not set your basic safety at risk in the target to save money. The stakes could even be substantially higher for those who attempt to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring job with no adequate awareness or encounter.


When it comes to beaches, everyone has their own preferences. Some will look for a party on the sands; grab a drink and chat it up with other beach-goers. Others prefer to find their own private spot, free of shops, vendors and other tourists. If you're looking for a beach to suit your specific need, we have made a selection and reviewed them for you. With a number of beaches, both private and public, it isn't too difficult to find a small piece of paradise. Depending on the hotel you are sojourning in, you will only need to decide whether they want handiness or seclusion.
Found in the North of the island, Beau Vallon is the most popular beach of Mahé, among tourists and Seychellois. It is popular especially for the panoramic view it offers on the islands of North Island and Silhouette.
Beau Vallon offers everything you would expect of Seychelles: a translucent water and white sand of course, but also shops, restaurants. But even at the height of his attendance, the beach is never saturated. Although this is the only bay on the island where motorized water sports are allowed, jet skis and parasailing are relatively rare. Other water sports are not left out, especially with a dive center for those eager to discover the fauna and underwater flora.
And for those who do not want to jump into the water, the Glass Bottom Boat Tour (excursion in glass bottom boat) will allow you to see fish and marine life without getting wet.
These are the famous trees, Takamaka that surround and protect the cove of the wind that gave it its name! Located on the southwest coast of Mahe, it is reached by taking the road that descends from the village of Quatre Bornes. You will have a real crush for Anse Takamaka, its coconut trees along its sandy beach and its giant granite rocks that surround it.
Snorkel will be your best allies to enjoy swimming even more in this paradise. But beware: the currents in this loop between May and October does not make it the best place to swim at that time. This does not prevent you to enjoy at your leisure this postcard landscape, typical of the Seychelles.
With its sandy expanse of 600 meters, it is undoubtedly your coup de foudre in Mahe. Located in the southwest of the island, it is one of the most photographed beaches in the Seychelles: lush vegetation and granite rocks makes it the landscape of the Indian Ocean by excellence. But if the view is breathtaking, be careful: the waves can make it dangerous for swimming, especially from May to October.
Anse Royale is located on the southeast coast of Mahé. This is one of the largest beaches of the island. It offers calm, turquoise waters inviting for swimming and snorkeling to admire the coral reefs and colorful fish. Not far from the beach are small grocery stores and a local market where you can buy fresh fish, fruit and vegetables. You will also find several nearby establishments to eat on site and some souvenir shops.
Northwest of the island of Mahe, the Grand Anse beach is a particularly popular surf spot. If the impressive waves and strong sea currents do not make it the best beach for a quiet swim, its long coast is worth a look.
The charm of the beach is a result of the small fishing village located next door; in the middle of the west coast of Mahe. This beach is ideal for swimming and you can watch the early morning or evening fishing boats returning to the island with their well-filled nets.
Right next to the village of Baie Lazare, Anse à la Mouche is a long bay that is 1700 m long. Its clear and shallow waters that sink gently into the ocean make it an ideal place for families with children. After admiring the colorful underwater world – at certain times of the year, a phenomenon of microorganisms bioluminescence enables even the night snorkeling – you can taste fine local dishes prepared in the restaurant right on the beach.
Easily accessible by a road of the same name, the beach Anse Soleil is located in the southwest of Mahé. This romantic crescent bay is the perfect place for a picnic, a swim or simply to relax and enjoy the tranquility of its beautiful scenery. From May to October, the beach is particularly exposed to beautiful waves that will satisfy fans of surfing.
The Petit Anse Gouvernement is a peaceful small natural creek, located near Baie Lazare. On the coast, the reef and the granite rocks have created a small shallow lagoon for swimming. Southwest of Mahe, Grand Anse Government is also worth a visit. With its magnificent granite rocks, the beach is the perfect backdrop for a photo shoot vacation.
Hidden Cove is located south in the most beautiful part of the island of Mahé. As the name suggests, this beautiful white sand beach is just waiting to be discovered.
Going up the southeast coast of Mahé, Anse Whale is an adorable and tiny beach protected by palm trees and Tabebuia trees with fragrant flowers. In case of rain, you can shelter under a huge rock. The beach offers a unique view of Anse Royale and Souris Island.
Anse aux Pins and Turtle Bay merge into one another and are located on the southeast coast of Mahe. These thin strips of sand sloping gently into the ocean, making it a swimming zone that is more suitable for families with children. During a walk at low tide, you can admire the wonderful shells stranded in small natural pools that form in the holes of the rocks.
At the northwest end of Mahe Anse Major Beach is a secluded and protected bay. The beach is accessible only by sea or on foot after a walk of about an hour and a half through the lush vegetation typical of the island. The reward for your efforts? Having this beautiful white sandy beach just for you!
Rice Anse (Anse Diri in Creole) is a small beach nestled in the Baie Ternay. Located at the northwestern tip of Mahé, near Port Launay, only accessible by the sea. The idyllic lagoon surrounded by wild vegetation has been featured in several film shoots.
Surrounded by the waters of the National Marine Park, it remains a paradise for those who will discover it. This beautiful strip of white sand and coral in the north-western tip of Mahé, inaccessible by road, is cannot be approached by boat. Yet, you can treat you by giving that wonderful spot a visit.
If you are looking for a place to spend a day of relaxation and tranquility, go to Anse Souillac beach. On the west coast of Mahé, this tiny strip of sand is nestled between the majestic beaches of Port Launay and Anse Ternay. Topped with granite rocks, the cove is usually deserted. Here you can indulge in peace for swimming and snorkeling.
Immediately after Port Glaud, Anse Islette will dazzle you with its beauty. The reef here forms a beautiful lagoon with turquoise crystal clear water. In the middle of the lagoon, a small paradise island with palm trees invites you to play explorers while joining it in your kayak. In the distance you can notice the island Theresa.
A Glacis, on the north-west coast of Mahé, is Sunset Beach. As its name suggests, the sunsets that can be seen from this beach are absolutely magnificent. The glowing colors of the setting sun reflected in the ocean, and Silhouette and North Islands off the coast, add magic to the show. With its white sand, palm trees and typical granite rocks of the Seychelles, Sunset Beach is also worth visiting during the day. This is a very nice place to swim and for snorkelling enthusiasts, you will not be disappointed by what you will discover through the cracks of the rochers. It is common to come across green turtles there.
Baie Lazare beach is mainly for those who like to swim quietly underwater with a mask and snorkel – you will fall in love with the place. Located on the southwest coast of Mahe, the beach was named after the French explorer Lazare Picaults who landed here in 1743 to claim the ownership of Mahe to France. Baie Lazare Beach is a thin strip of sand easily accessible from the road. This is one of the most tranquil beaches on the island.
We hope that you have a nice time in the Seychelles! Have a nice visit and enjoy the beaches to the max!


Government internet regulation: this is how it will be here, and soonish I guess. Harriet- Harmonisation, Corpus Juris and all that.
Speaking merely personally and very generally, I don't think we will ever return to a state of even partial liberalism, like what existed for some decades aaround the turn of the 19th Century and a little after. WE'd better try to enjoy what's left, and make the best of the Endarkenment to come.
There will be local and passing opportuities for skilled people to keep stuff working, here and there, to preserve archives and libraries of knowledge where possible for the distant future, and to try to maintain something of what we might have had.
I'm currently sitting in the National Liberal Club in London, getting ready for the second of our annual lectures. Tim and I did think we'd have about fifty people. In the event, we have over a hundred. Once again, therefore, we've had to close the list. The fire regulations do not allow any flexibility above a certain number. Unless you have told us you are coming, therefore, we cannot take any more names.
The lesson of this, if you are disappointed, is that you should not expect that you can just turn up at Libertarian Alliance events without warning. Despite the looming recession, we can still pack out the Liberal Club, and must still be strict with latecomers.
We shall publish a written text of the lecture by Kevin Dowd – which is to be all about the financial crisis and the recession, and how these were brought on by a useless, state-regulated banking system – and I will video the whole event and make this available on the Internet.
I hope for an interesting and enjoyable evening.
… but further to that one below, will the EU remain "the" problem, or even cease to be "a" problem?
Guido is saying "let's sit tight and hope it won't be worse than the buggers think".
Right now as I type, the world of money, shares and commerce seems to be coming apart at the seams. Nobody seems to want to buy Banking shares for any money at all this morning – not surprising since people will only learn the full list of more horrors this afternoon. Then, the Prime-Mentalist is screeching at poor little Iceland "Och-aye, the Noo, Jummieh!!! Where'z ma f*****g money????" (Not helpful I should have thought.) And the Euro waits in the wings to see what its walk-on lines are going to be.
It's all very well for those clever people who were optimists-in-full-possession-of-the-facts a few years ago to say "we've bought gold!" But most people don't own more gold than is worn on one finger, and sometimes not all of that. There are other priorities for most families, like just keeping going.
The EU of course continues to steam on, rearranging its deck-chairs to suit the sunbathing bureaucrats…there is talk of measures to "regulate" blogging, for example (see post below) as if the Brussels machinery had too little to do in reality, which is probable. I think measures like this will get harmlessly swept away in whatever happens to the Euro in the next few weeks.
But we should watch out for the astonishimg vindictiveness and ferocity, which I believe will emanate from the UK's home-grown and now frustrated pro-EU establishment. This will come when it is found out that the whole shooting-match has gone belly-up overnight, and that these wicked, cruel and highly-motivated stalinists have lost their official authority to terrorise, erase, threaten, fine, regulate, confiscate and terminate.
Our problem will be what Frodo had, when he came home to the Shire, and found all sorts of riff-raff in charge.
EU Fascist Scumbags want to "regulate" blogs. I wonder why?
Clearly, Mrs Mikko does not understand anything about the recent history of her own country, and what Estonia went through under the jackboots of various other fascist scumbags over the last 100-odd years. I can't credit that an Estonian person, or indeed one from any previously-grievously-oppressed nation, should want to even think of returning to something like the status quo ante.
Euro MPs are preparing to vote on proposals for European Union regulation of blogs with the aim of countering a "dangerous" and unregulated blogosphere.
Marianne Mikko, an Estonian centre-left MEP, is concerned that growing numbers of blogs are being used by individuals with "malicious intentions or hidden agendas".
"The blogosphere has so far been a haven of good intentions and relatively honest dealing. However, with blogs becoming commonplace, less principled people will want to use them," she said.
"We do not need to know the exact identity of bloggers. We need some credentials, a quality mark, a certain disclosure of who is writing and why. We need this to be able to trust and rely on the source," she said.
Chris Heaton Harris, a British Conservative Euro MP, has rejected any moves to "regulate and restrict independent media sources".
"Mrs Mikko obviously does not understand that blogs have become the life blood of a vibrant democracy," he said.
Thursday's vote in the European Parliament is not legally binding but is an indicator of growing EU concern over the influence of blogs on the internet.
"Blog activity remains overwhelmingly negative," it said.

Zahara Information
In the heart of the Natural Park of Sierra de Grazalema with a surface area of 71.30 square kilometres, specifically in the north - eastern part of the province of Cádiz, lies Zahara. It is located along the slopes of Sierra del Jaral (Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos). There are wonderful views of its surroundings. In the northern part, we see Algodonales and Sierra de Líjar; Bocaleones river and Sierra Margarita (Prado del Rey and El Bosque) are located in the western part. In the southern part, we see Arroyomolinos, Monte Prieto, Sierra Blanquilla, Puerto de las Palomas and Sierra del Pinar (Grazalema). Finally in the eastern area, we find el Peñón Algarín (El Gastor).
Map and streets
By highway:
The main way of getting there is taking the A-382 road (Jerez Fra.- Antequera), which links directly with CA-531 road (Algodonales - Grazalema) and that gives us direct access to the village and the rest of the "Pueblos Blancos" (White Villages). In the same way, A-382 road links with A-473 (Sevilla - Ronda - Costa del Sol) and it directly connects us with Serranía de Ronda and the province of Málaga.

US officials confirmed Wednesday that the Obama administration secretly arranged a plane delivery of $400 million in cash on the same day Iran released four American prisoners and formally implemented the nuclear deal.
President Barack Obama approved the $400 million transfer, which was the first payment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah. The Iranians were seeking more than $10 billion at arbitration.
Because existing US sanctions ban American dollars from being used in a transaction with Iran, officials said the money was procured from central banks in Switzerland and the Netherlands, and an unmarked cargo plane loaded with wooden pallets of Swiss francs, euros and other currencies were flown to Iran.
The payment required hard currency, they said, because Iran could not access the global financial system due to international sanctions it was under at the time. The details of the transaction were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
While the transaction took place the same day as the release of Jason Rezaian and three other Americans, officials insist the payment did not constitute ransom for the Americans and that there were was no quid pro quo for the payment. They say agreement on the release of the prisoners dovetailed with the resolution of parallel negotiations over the dispute of the failed arms deal.
But US officials conceded that the Iranian negotiators involved in the prisoner exchange said they wanted the cash to coincide with the release of the Americans to prove a deliverable for the exchange.
"As we've made clear, the negotiations over the settlement of an outstanding claim at The Hague Tribunal were completely separate from the discussions about returning our American citizens home," State Department Spokesman John Kirby said, referring to the $1.7 billion payout that the $400 million cash installment was part of.
