A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Major Internet Outage Takes Down Websites For Banks, Airlines By Bill Galluccio June 17, 2021

 

A number of websites for banks, airlines, and several major companies in Australia went down, in the second major internet outage in ten days.

Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, Virgin Australia, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac Bank, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, E-trade, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange website were all hit by the outage, which was caused by an IT failure at Akamai Technologies, a global content delivery network that also provides cybersecurity, and cloud services.

"Akamai is aware of the issue and actively working to restore services as soon as possible," the company said in a statement on Twitter.

It is unclear what caused the issue, but after several hours, many of the websites started coming back online.

Southwest Airlines told CNN Business that the outage did not impact flight operations, while a spokesperson for Los Angeles International Airport said the outage briefly interrupted operations but did not cause any significant delays or cancellations of flights.

Thursday's outage was similar to one on June 8 that took down Amazon, CNN, The New York Times, and other major websites. That outage was caused by an issue at Fastly, a cloud computing services provider that offers a variety of services to help websites load faster.

Día Mundial de las Tortugas Marinas World Sea Turtle Day

 

Día Mundial de las Tortugas Marinas
El 16 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial de las Tortugas Marinas, uno de los animales más antiguos y en peligro de extinción. La celebración de este día coincide con el nacimiento en el año 1909 del conservacionista de tortugas marinas Archie Carr, cuya ardua labor contribuyó a la protección de esta especie. Fue un conservacionista de Alabama que luchó durante toda su vida por el mantenimiento de las poblaciones de tortugas, principalmente en Costa Rica.
La contaminación de los océanos, los cambios climáticos, la utilización de redes para la pesca y los ataques por parte de depredadores en la época de incubación de huevos, amenazan con la extinción de las Tortugas Marinas. Súmate a la protección y el cuidado de esta especie. No consumas huevos de tortugas, cuida la zona de desove de las tortugas y no dejes basura en las playas.Comité Ambiental ESIME Zacatenco
