Your Essential Skellig Michael Survival Guide
Explore the incredible Atlantic island monastery of Skellig Michael with us.
By Derry
Like huge pyramids in the Atlantic Ocean, the Skellig Islands stand 12km off the southwest coast of Ireland.
Skellig Michael is the larger of the two Skellig islands.
Once at the edge of the known world, Skellig Michael is the site where early Christian monks chose to build their monastery. The monks shunned civilisation, carving out a meagre existence from sea and rock. They felt the extreme isolation brought them closer to God. Renowned as a beautifully preserved early Christian settlement, Skellig Michael was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1996. More recently, it was used as a location for shooting two Star Wars movies. Uninhabited Little Skellig is the other island. It's one of the largest gannet colonies in the world.
Going to Skellig Michael
Going to Skellig Michael is truly a memorable experience.
Want to land on Skellig Michael? You'll first need to book a 12 Day Vagabond Giant Irish Adventure Tour. This is our only tour with landing access to the island. The next step is to let us know of your intentions at least one month in advance of your tour. The best way to reserve your space on the Skellig Michael boats is when you receive our Pre-Tour Survey (just after booking). You can also email us in advance. Total numbers of people allowed onto Skellig Michael are strictly controlled. This is to preserve the site and avoid disturbing wildlife.
Are You Able for the Boat Trip To Skellig Michael?
The boat journey to the Skelligs is an adventure in itself.
The boats that take you to the Skelligs are 30 feet long. These are not large ships! They are open-decked vessels (with a small front cabin). The trip is an open ocean crossing. The swell can be large and waves can splash over the sides of the boat. You are likely to get wet. Ponchos are provided in the boats - but you'll still get wet! If you are prone to sea sickness, or have never made a similar boat trip, we recommend bringing sea sickness medication along with you. If you suffer badly from sea sickness, we suggest avoiding the Skelligs trip. Remember! Boat trips to the Skelligs are weather dependent. You may be informed that the trip has been cancelled in the case of unsuitable conditions. Boat tours cancelled due to bad weather will not be charged for.
Where do Skellig Michael boats depart from?
The small fishing port of Portmagee is the departure point for all Vagabond trips to the Skellig islands. On the day of departure, your boat will leave the pier in Portmagee at around 9am and return around 3pm. The total length of the trip can be up 6 hours. The boat journey to and from Skellig Michael can last up to 60 minutes each way. You'll have about 2.5 hours to explore Skellig Michael.
Landing on Skellig Michael
Landing on the Skelligs is DEFINITELY an adventure!
There is no marina. The landing site is very exposed. Exposed to the weather. Exposed to the sea. You will have to step off your boat onto the island. Even a small swell can make alighting from the boat quite tricky. Your boat may be moving up and down on the waves, but the pier will not be. Therefore the gap that you need to step over can be quite high and wide. You'll need to be agile. It can be a leap of faith!
Toilets on Skellig Michael (or lack thereof)
Relieving yourself on the Skellig Michael trip can be challenging. There are no toilet facilities on Skellig Michael. Nor are there toilets on the boats that bring you there. Please bear in mind that you will be away from the mainland - and all toilet facilities - for around 6 hours.
Hiking Up the Steps on Skellig Michael
Climbing the steep steps to the top of Skellig Michael is definitely an adventure!
You will have to conquer over 600 steps up... And 600 steps back down again. This not a conventional staircase either. The steps on Skellig Michael are cut directly from the rock. They're steep. They're of varying height and width. There is no handrail and a steep, vertical cliff face lies below.
Without wanting to seem alarmist, people have died from falling from the steps on Skellig Michael. You will need to be...
In good physical condition;
Not scared of heights;
Sure on your feet.
We recommend wearing a good pair of hiking boots.
Is Skellig Michael Worth It?
Good question. The answer depends on you!
To enjoy Skellig Michael, you need to be fit and have a head for heights. Not only that, but you need to have the right gear and be ready for a rough sea journey. You'll need to able for a tough climb up and back down again. Not to mention a strong bladder! However... If you are an adventurous soul and you fit the above criteria, visiting Skellig Michael is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. We heartily recommend it!
Best Time To Visit Skellig Michael?
It's important to remember that boat trips to Skellig Michael operate seasonally.
Boats run to Skellig Michael from Portmagee only from mid-May to late September. This means passengers booked on our 12 Day Vagabond Giant Irish Adventure Tours departing in March, April and October will not be able to avail of this Tour Option. In addition, your trip to Skellig Michael is weather dependent and so can't be guaranteed. Irish coastal weather is extremely changeable, even in midsummer. Boat tours cancelled due to bad weather will not be charged for. Hoping to see puffins? Go to Skellig Michael before mid-August. Puffin nesting season runs from April until early August.
Skellig Michael Checklist
✔ You've booked in advance - Before your tour you must let us know at least one month in advance that you intend to go. Trips to Skellig Michael are in high demand and there is limited availability. ✔ You've packed your medication - Very important. If you require medication, make sure you have more than enough for a 6 hour trip. Remember, it could take time for emergency services to reach the island in the unlikely event of an accident. Pack seasickness tablets if you think you might need them. ✔ You've got suitable gear - We recommend wearing a good quality waterproof outer layer, under layers for warmth and a pair of good walking boots. Both Skellig Michael and the ocean crossing will leave you exposed to sun, water and wind. ✔ You've packed snacks and water - Make sure you bring enough food and water to sustain you for 6 hours. Skellig Michael is a wild nature reserve. There is nowhere to buy food or water on this trip. ✔ Your phone/camera is fully charged - You'll kick yourself if your battery dies before you snap a selfie at the summit of Skellig Michael!

Louis Roule (Marselha, 20 de dezembro de 1861 — Versailles, 30 de julho de 1861) foi um zoólogo que se distinguiu no campo da ictiologia.

Biografia
De origem modesta, filho de um carpinteiro, teve uma carreira académica excepcionalmente rápida: era monitor de trabalhos práticos na Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Marselha aos 20 anos de idade (1881), ano em que ali obteve uma licenciatura em Ciências. Aos 23 de idade (1884) obteve um doutoramento em Ciências na Universidade de Paris com uma dissertação sobre as ascídeas da costa da Provença.

Em 1885 foi nomeado instrutor (maître de conférences) Na Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Toulouse, sendo em 1892 promovido a professor. Paralelamente, ensinara histologia em Paris a partir de 1886.

Obteve um doutoramento em Medicina em Paris em 1902, e a partir do ano seguinte chefiou a estação de investigação em biologia marinha que ele criara na Universidade de Toulouse. Ao longo da sua carreira, dedicou-se inicialmente ao estudo dos invertebrados marinhos e depois dos peixes.

Em 1910, substituiu Léon Vaillant no Museu Nacional de História Natural de Paris (Muséum national d'histoire naturelle de Paris) como curador da colecção de zoologia (répteis e peixes). Ao mesmo tempo, dirigia o Laboratório de Ictiologia da Escola Prática de Altos Estudos (École pratique des hautes études ou EPHE) e a partir de 1925 leccionou no Instituto Agronómico Nacional de França (Institut national agronomique, hoje Institut national agronomique Paris Grignon).

Foi eleito presidente da Sociedade Zoológica de França (Société zoologique de France) em 1913.

A investigação inicial de Roule tratou maioritariamente de invertebrados. Mais tarde, o seu foco de interesse voltou-se progressivamente para a ictiologia, particularmente quando teve a oportunidade de fazer o inventário das grandes colecções de espécimes marinhos guardadas no museu de Paris de que era curador. Analisou colecções recolhidas pelo príncipe Albert I do Mónaco, bem como espécimes obtidos das expedições antárcticas de Jean-Baptiste Charcot (1867-1936). Roule foi o primeiro cientista a descrever a espécie Grimaldichthys profundissimus, um peixe encontrada a mais de 6000 m de profundidade.

Tinha um ávido interesse pelos trabalhos dos naturalistas franceses das gerações anateeriores, publicando obras sobre Georges-Louis Leclerc (o conde de Buffon), Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck e Georges Cuvier. Roule também foi autor de obras conceituadas nos campos da embriologia e da anatomia comparada.

Duas espécies de répteis receberam nomes que o homenageiam: Atractus roulei e Isopachys roulei.

Obras
Entre muitas outras publicações, é autor das seguintes obras:
Recherches sur les Ascidies simple des cotes de Provence, Phallusiadées, 1884 (investigação sobre as ascídeas simples da costa da Provence do género Phallusia Savigny, 1816)
L'embryologie générale, 1893
L' anatomie comparée des animaux basée sur l'embryologie,  1898
Buffon et la description de la nature, 1924
Daubenton et l'exploitation de la nature, 1925
Les poissons et le monde vivant des eaux, 1926
Lamarck et l'interprétation de la nature, 1927
Les poissons apodes appartenant au sous-ordre des nemichthydiformes, 1929 (tratado sobre os Nemichthyidae)
La structure et la biologie des poissons, 1930

Inferences on Sicilian Mesolithic subsistence patterns from cross-sectional geometry and entheseal changes
Using cross-sectional geometry (CSG), entheseal changes (ECs), and presence of external auditory meatus exostosis (EAE), this study tests the hypothesis—based on isotopic and zooarchaeological evidence—that in the Sicilian Mesolithic terrestrial rather than marine resources were predominantly exploited, in substantial continuity with previous Epigravettian hunters. Results show similarities in the general frequency of ECs—a rough proxy for overall activity—with Late Pleistocene hunters, in contrast with Mesolithic coastal foragers or Neolithic herders/farmers. Yet, CSG suggests that this possible continuity in the type of resources exploited was accompanied by a behavioral change, and in particular the abandonment of the throwing technology, possibly in favor of new tools such as traps and the bow and arrow. In fact, the dramatic decrease in humeral bilateral asymmetry documented at a European level with the Pleistocene-Holocene transition can be found also in the Sicilian Mesolithic. Results for the lower limb appear compatible with a certain degree of terrestrial mobility in a rugged environment. The frequency of EAE suggests that activities related to water were present but not common; however, their prominence is difficult to determine given the small sample size. The pattern of information provided by the proxies for activity used here is complex and partially contrasting, but has the potential to integrate and enrich archeological methods and biochemical approaches. This study corroborates a varied scenario of continuity and discontinuity in subsistence at the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, and highlights the importance of a regional bioarchaeological approach of human biological and behavioral adaptations.

Rural Methodist roots: Pat Summitt never hid her quiet, but deep, faith
Once a year, Seymour United Methodist Church held a "Laity Day" in which folks from the pews would handle all the clergy stuff one Sunday -- including the sermon.
The year was 1984, early in the Rev. Charles Maynard's decade at this fledgling congregation near Knoxville, Tenn. He already knew that one active member had a knack for motivational speaking, since she coached the University of Tennessee's Lady Vols basketball team.
"This was before she turned into 'PAT SUMMITT,' you know? For me she was just a lady at church named 'Pat,' " said Maynard, now the district superintendent of the region's Maryville District. "I asked her to speak and she said she didn't feel comfortable doing that sort of thing. …
"But the next year she said, 'Yes.' She talked about teamwork and linked everything to people having their own roles in the Body of Christ. It was all very biblical and she did a great job. I mean, she's Pat Summitt."
Things started changing after she coached the U.S. team to gold at the 1984 Olympics and the "Lady Vols started winning everything in sight," he said.
One thing didn't change. While Summitt's work demanded lots of time and travel, her family stayed as "active at church as the coach of a national powerhouse could possibly be," said Maynard. "It was pretty obvious that she had been raised in a Methodist church in rural Tennessee. It showed. Her faith went down deep."
Summitt's death at age 64, after a five-year fight with Alzheimer's disease, unleashed a national outpouring of tributes.

Q: How to select int that are not in some other list ? I have some List that contain int value between 0 to 10
for example the list contain the values    3, 8 ,9, 10
Now, i want to use linq to create new list that will contain all the values that are not in the first list ... that mean that the new list will contain the values 0,1,2,4,5,6,7
How to do it with linq ?
Thanks

A: var myNums = Enumerable.Range(0, 11).Except(yourList);

It's 11 instead of 10 because that's the count of numbers you wish to generate, and there are 11 numbers in 0-10 inclusive.

A: if the new list has to be limited again by 0-10, you can do
var myList =  new List<int>{3, 8 ,9, 10};
var resultList = Enumerable.Range(0, 11).Except(myList );

A: int[] seq1={3,5,8},seq2={5,7,8};
seq2.Except(seq1);//7
