  • Coney Island is a peninsula and beach on the Atlantic Ocean in southern Brooklyn, New York, United States. The site was formerly an outer barrier island, but became partially connected to the mainland by landfill.<br />
<br />
Coney Island is possibly best known as the site of amusement parks and a major resort that reached their peak during the first half of the 20th century. It declined in popularity after World War II and endured years of neglect. In recent years, the area has seen the opening of MCU Park and has become home to the minor league baseball team the Brooklyn Cyclones.<br />
<br />
The neighborhood of the same name is a community of 60,000 people in the western part of the peninsula, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, and Gravesend to the north.<br />
<br />
The Native American inhabitants of the region, the Lenape, called the island Narrioch--meaning "land without shadows"--because, as with other south shore Long Island beaches, its orientation means the beach remains in sunlight all day.<br />
<br />
Coney Island appears to be the English adaptation of the Dutch name Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling. The word "coney" was popular in English at the time as an alternative for rabbit. Coney came into the English language through the Old French word conil, which itself derived from the Latin word for rabbit, cuniculus. As on other Long Island barrier islands, Coney Island had many and diverse rabbits, and rabbit hunting prospered until resort development eliminated their habitat. The Dutch name is found on the New Netherland map of 1639 by Johannes Vingboon, which is before any known English records.The English name "Conney Isle" appeared on maps as early as 1690, and by 1733 the modern name, Coney Island, was used.

As on other Long Island barrier islands, Coney Island had many and diverse rabbits, and rabbit hunting prospered until resort development eliminated their habitat. The Dutch name is found on the New Netherland map of 1639 by Johannes Vingboon, which is before any known English records.The English name "Conney Isle" appeared on maps as early as 1690, and by 1733 the modern name, Coney Island, was used.

Coney Island is possibly best known as the site of amusement parks and a major resort that reached their peak during the first half of the 20th century. It declined in popularity after World War II and endured years of neglect. In recent years, the area has seen the opening of MCU Park and has become home to the minor league baseball team the Brooklyn Cyclones.<br />

  • Isle-aux-Coudres<br />
It is thought to have been formed by the impact of the meteor which formed the Charlevoix region.<br />
The island was named by Jacques Cartier during his second expedition in 1535 for the many nut-bearing trees on the island. "Coudriers" is the archaic French word for Hazel tree. Whereas the modern French spelling for "island" is ile, the municipality uses the old French spelling of Isle.<br />
Formerly, porpoise fishing was practised on a broad basis, supplemented by some boat construction. Today tourism is the main industry, and the place is known for its historical sites, tourist accommodations, and craftspeople.<br />
Charlevoix is a cultural and natural region located in Quebec, on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River as well as in the Laurentian Mountains area of the Canadian Shield. This dramatic landscape includes rolling terrain, fjords, headlands and bays; the region was designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1989.<br />
<br />
The topography of this region was dramatically altered by a meteorite impact that occurred 350 million years ago creating the Charlevoix crater.<br />
The impact created the forty-mile-wide crater that is the heart of Quebec's Charlevoix region, ranging from just west of Baie-Saint-Paul to just east of La Malbaie. Today, the area inside the crater is home to 90 percent of Charlevoix residents and is a very pastoral setting by comparison to what it could have been.<br />
The region was named after Pierre François-Xavier de Charlevoix, a French Jesuit explorer and historian who travelled through the area in the 18th century.

Opera on the Road: A Mobile Opera Truck for All<br />
For the 2024-2025 season, the Opéra de Lyon is redefining cultural accessibility with the launch of its Mobile Opera Truck, a traveling project reminiscent of the film Cinema Paradiso. In the spirit of a time when cinema and performances brought culture to remote and underserved audiences, this modern stage on wheels breaks down geographic and social barriers.<br />
Showcasing the opera The Blood of the Glacier, specially commissioned for the initiative, the project unites writer Lucie Vérot Solaure, composer Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber, and director Angélique Clairand. After its December 2024 premiere at the Théâtre du Point du Jour in Lyon, the opera will begin a multi-week tour across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in early 2025, offering a unique artistic experience to communities far from major cultural hubs.<br />
<br />
By bringing opera to places off the beaten path, the Lyon Opera Truck reaffirms the notion that art belongs to everyone. This bold initiative brings audiences closer to opera while reviving the timeless ideal of a traveling, inclusive culture.

The Order of Chartreuse was more than 500 years old when, in 1605, at a Chartreuse monastery in Vauvert, a small suburb of Paris, the monks received a gift from a Marshal of King's Henri IV artillery : an already ancient manuscript from an "Elixir" soon to be nicknamed "Elixir of Long Life"<br />
Todays, this beverage still prepared by two Carthusian Brothers entrusted with this mission by their Order. They work in the greatest secrecy and are the only ones who know the details of manufacturing. Even today the formula remains a mystery which modern investigation methods have not been able to penetrate.

  • ROME, ITALY - JUNE 03: Illustration of Rome; Italy on June 03, 2012..Piazza del Popolo is a large urban square in Rome. The name in modern Italian literally means "People's Square", but historically it derives from the poplars (populus in Latin, pioppo in Italian).The piazza lies inside the northern gate in the Aurelian Walls. Before the age of railroads, it was the traveller's first view of Rome upon arrival. For centuries, the Piazza del Popolo was a place for public executions, the last of which took place in 1826.

  • ROME, ITALY - JUNE 03: Illustration of Rome; Italy on June 03, 2012 The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy. Standing 26 metres (85.3 feet) high and 20 metres (65.6 feet) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain at the junction of three roads (tre vie) marks the terminal point of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revived Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. The sea inspired the scenery is dominated by a rocky cliff in the center where there is a statue of Poseidon driving a chariot in the shape of a shell pulled by two winged horses. Over the four Corinthian columns there are four smaller allegorical statues (from left to right): the "Abundance of Fruit", the "Fertility of the fields", the "Richness of Autumn" and the "Amenity of the gardens".

  • Richard Brunel, General and Artistic Director of the Opera de Lyon, presents the Opera Truck.<br />
Opera on the Road: A Mobile Opera Truck for All<br />
For the 2024-2025 season, the Opéra de Lyon is redefining cultural accessibility with the launch of its Mobile Opera Truck, a traveling project reminiscent of the film Cinema Paradiso. In the spirit of a time when cinema and performances brought culture to remote and underserved audiences, this modern stage on wheels breaks down geographic and social barriers.<br />
Showcasing the opera The Blood of the Glacier, specially commissioned for the initiative, the project unites writer Lucie Vérot Solaure, composer Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber, and director Angélique Clairand. After its December 2024 premiere at the Théâtre du Point du Jour in Lyon, the opera will begin a multi-week tour across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in early 2025, offering a unique artistic experience to communities far from major cultural hubs.<br />
<br />
By bringing opera to places off the beaten path, the Lyon Opera Truck reaffirms the notion that art belongs to everyone. This bold initiative brings audiences closer to opera while reviving the timeless ideal of a traveling, inclusive culture.
