রাজর্ষি (উপন্যাস)

রাজর্ষি রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর এর একটি ঐতিহাসিক উপন্যাস । উপন্যাসটি মানবতার পক্ষে ধর্মীয় কুসংস্কার এর বিরুদ্ধে ।পরবর্তীতে এ উপন্যাস এর উপর ভিত্তি করে রচিত হয় তার বিখ্যাত নাটক "বিসর্জন"
রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর বালক অধ্যায়, জীবনস্মৃতি তে তার রাজর্ষি উপন্যাস রচনা সম্পর্কে বলেন-
গোবিন্দমাণিক্য, পুরোহিত রঘুপতি, হাসি ও তাতা, জয়সিংহ, নক্ষত্ররায়
উপন্যাস টি একটি কাল্পনিক ঐতিহাসিক উপন্যাস । রাজর্ষি-র জন্য একটি ""সূচনা"" রবীন্দ্রনাথ স্বহস্তে লিখিয়া দিয়াছিলেন, যা নিম্নরূপ:-
<সূচনা> ““রাজর্ষি সম্বন্ধে কিছু বলবার জন্যে অনুরোধ পেয়েছি। বলবার বিশেষ কিছু নেই। এর প্রধান বক্তব্য এই যে, এ আমার স্বপ্নলব্ধ উপন্যাস। বালক পত্রের সম্পাদিকা আমাকে ঐ মাসিকের পাতে নিয়মিত পরিবেশনের কাজে লাগিয়ে দিয়েছিলেন। তার ফল হল এই যে, প্রায় একমাত্র আমিই হলুম তার ভোজের জোগানদার। একটু সময় পেলেই মনটা ‘কী লিখি’ ‘কী লিখি’ করতে থাকে। রাজনারায়ণবাবু ছিলেন দেওঘরে। তাঁকে দেখতে যাব বলে বেরনো গেল। রাত্রে গাড়ির আলোটা বিশ্রামের ব্যাঘাত করবে বলে তার নিচেকার আবরণটা টেনে দিলুম। অ্যাংলোইণ্ডিয়ান সহযাত্রীর মন তাতে প্রসন্ন হল না,ঢাকা খুলে দিলেন। জাগা অনিবার্য ভেবে একটা গল্পের প্লট মনে আনতে চেষ্টা করলুম। ঘুম এসে গেল। স্বপ্নে দেখলুম—একটা পাথরের মন্দির। ছোটো মেয়েকে নিয়ে বাপ এসেছেন পুজো দিতে। সাদাপাথরের সিঁড়ির উপর দিয়ে বলির রক্ত গড়িয়ে পড়ছে। দেখে মেয়েটির মুখে কী ভয়! কী বেদনা! বাপকে সে বার বার করুণস্বরে বলতে লাগল, বাবা, এত রক্ত কেন! বাপ কোনোমতে মেয়ের মুখ চাপা দিতে চায়, মেয়ে তখন নিজের আঁচল দিয়ে রক্ত মুছতে লাগল। জেগে উঠেই বললুম, গল্প পাওয়া গেল। এই স্বপ্নের বিবরণ ‘জীবনস্মৃতি’তে পূর্বেই লিখেছি, পুনরুক্তি করতে হল। আসল গল্পটা ছিল প্রেমের অহিংস পূজার সঙ্গে হিংস্র শক্তিপূজার বিরোধ। কিন্তু মাসিক পত্রের পেটুক দাবি সাহিত্যের বৈধ ক্ষুধার মাপে পরিমিত হতে চায় না। ব্যঞ্জনের পদসংখ্যা বাড়িয়ে চলতে হল। বস্তুত উপন্যাসটি সমাপ্ত হয়েছে পঞ্চদশ পরিচ্ছেদে। ফসল-খেতের যেখানে কিনারা সেদিকটাতে চাষ পড়ে নি, আগাছায় জঙ্গল হয়ে উঠেছে। সাময়িক পত্রের অবিবেচনায় প্রায়ই লেখনীর জাত নষ্ট হয়। বিশেষ যেখানে শিশু পাঠকই লক্ষ্য সেখানে বাজে বাচালতার সংকোচ থাকে না। অল্পবয়সের ছেলেদেরও সম্মান রাখার দরকার আছে, এ কথা শিশুসাহিত্য-লেখকেরা প্রায় ভোলেন। সাহিত্যরচনায় গুণী-লেখনীর সতর্কতা যদি না থাকে, যদি সে রচনা বিনা লজ্জায় অকিঞ্চিৎকর হয়ে ওঠে, তবে সেটা অস্বাস্থ্যকর হবেই, বিশেষত ছেলেদের পাকযন্ত্রের পক্ষে। দুধের বদলে পিঠুলি-গোলা যদি ব্যাবসার খাতিরে চালাতেই হয় তবে সে ফাঁকি বরঞ্চ চালানো যেতে পারে বয়স্কদের পাত্রে,তাতে তাঁদের রুচির পরীক্ষা হবে; কিন্তু ছেলেদের ভোগে নৈব নৈব চ। শ্রাবণ ১৩৪৭””

বোল্লা কালীমন্দির

বোল্লা কালীমন্দির পশ্চিমবঙ্গের দক্ষিণ দিনাজপুর জেলার একটি বিখ্যাত কালী মন্দির। বালুরঘাট-মালদা মহাসড়কের বালুরঘাট শহর থেকে ২০ কিলোমিটার দূরে বোল্লা গ্রামে অবস্থিত।
৪০০ বছর আগে এলাকার জমিদার ছিলেন বল্লভ চৌধুরি। তার নাম অনুসারেই এলাকার নাম হয়েছে বোল্লা। সেসময় এক মহিলা স্বপ্নাদেশে একটি কালো পাথরখণ্ড কুড়িয়ে পেয়ে সেটিকে প্রথম মাতৃরূপে পুজো শুরু করেছিলেন। এরপর জমিদার মুরারী মোহন চৌধুরি ইস্ট ইন্ডিয়া কোম্পানির সঙ্গে মামলায় জড়িয়ে যান। তারপর তিনি বোল্লা মায়ের কাছে মানত করে মামলায় জয় লাভ করেন। দেবী কালি তার উদ্ধারের জন্য এসেছিলেন এবং পরবর্তী দিনই জমিদার মুক্তি পেয়েছিলেন। কৃতজ্ঞতার প্রতীক হিসাবে তিনি দেবী কালির একটি মন্দির নির্মাণ করেছিলেন। সেই বছর থেকে রাস পূর্ণিমার পরের শুক্রবার ঘটা করে পুজোর আয়োজন শুরু হয়।
রাস পূর্ণিমার পর দক্ষিণ দিনাজপুর জেলার বোল্লা কালীপুজো অনুষ্ঠিত হয়।পশ্চিমবঙ্গ সহ বিভিন্ন রাজ্য এমনকি বাংলাদেশ থেকেও বহু দর্শনার্থী এই পুজোয় অংশ নেন। সেইসঙ্গে চারদিন ব্যাপী বিরাট মেলাও বসে। উত্তরবঙ্গের দ্বিতীয় বৃহত্তম মেলা হল বোল্লা মেলা। মা কালীর পুজোকে কেন্দ্র করে এই মেলা হলেও এতে হিন্দুদের পাশাপাশি মুসলিম ও অন্যান্য সম্প্রদায়ের মানুষও অংশগ্রহণ করে। চারদিনের এই মেলায় ১০ লক্ষেরও বেশি মানুষের সামগম হয়। দিল্লি, মুম্বই এমনকী বিদেশ থেকেও পূণ্যার্থীরা পুজো দিতে মন্দিরে ভিড় জমান। প্রায় শতাধিক ছোট-বড় মানতের কালীর পুজো হয় মণ্ডপ চত্বরে।
Dhunachi

Dhunachi is a Bengali incense burner (commonly used in conjunction with Indian frankincense or dhuno (Bengali: ধুনো) for traditional ceremonies) used for one of the stages during arti (ritualised worship). It is often used following the arti with the pradip (a lamp with an odd number of wicks).
The dhunachi has a flared shape and is held by a stem with a large cavity at the top, and is traditionally made of earthenware. Dhunachis may have one handle, two handles diametrically opposite to each other or even no handles at all. Brass or silver dhunachi has a longer handle to reduce the effect of heat.
The earthenware dhunachis are made by potters from clay. After rendering the shape, the dhunachis are first sun dried and then burnt in fire. They may or may not be painted. Every year, potters from the districts such as Nadia or Bankura produce dhunachis on mass scale before Durga Puja. As of 2016, the wholesale price of medium-sized earthenware dhunachis in Bankura ranged between ten and twelve rupees, whereas the retail price varied between 20 and 25 rupees.
The dhunachi is lit by placing burning coal at the bottom, which ignites a layer of slow-burning coconut husk, on which incense (usually resin such as Indian frankincense) is sprinkled. During Durga Puja in eastern India, it is common to have dhunuchi nritya, or a frenzied dance with the censer, to the accompaniment of dhak playing. Many puja traditions also organise contests for the best dance, where some performers may go with as many as three dhunuchis - the third one held between the teeth. Dhunachi arati also known as "dhoop arati".
Navadhanya

Navdhānya or Navadhaniyam refers to nine food grains namely wheat, paddy, pigeon pea, hyacinth bean, chickpea, mung bean, sesame, black gram and horse gram. Navdhānya means "nine grains" in several Indian languages and form an essential part of Indian cuisine.
In Hindu cosmology, Navdhānya are considered to represent the Navagraha (nine planets). The grains represent the following nodes:
It is customary for Hindus to use Navdanya during certain rituals and auspicious events. During traditional Hindu initiation ceremonies such as Upanayana that marks the acceptance of a student by a preceptor and Vidyāraṃbhaṃ that is performed before a child begins their formal education involve the offering of navdhanya. During festivals such as Saraswati Puja, a new scroll and writing equipment are placed on the navdhanya.
In Mariamman worship in South India, the sprouts of these food grains, traditionally known as mullaipaari forms an important part of festivals and rituals. The seeds are grown on temporary trays or pots and are either allowed to sprout in the temple or carried to the temples after sprouting. If the seeds sprout healthily, it is considered as a good sign and an indication of an upcoming good harvest.
Achalgarh Fort

Achalgarh is a fort situated about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) north of Mount Abu, a hill station in Rajasthan, India. The fort was originally built by the Paramara dynasty rulers and later reconstructed, renovated and named as Achalgarh by Maharana Kumbha in 1452 CE, one of the 32 forts built during his reign.
The fort is in a dilapidated condition now. The first gate of the fort is known as Hanumanpol, which served as the entrance to the lower fort. It comprises two towers built of large blocks of grey granite. After some ascent, stands Champapol, the second gate of the fort, which served as the entrance to the inner fort.
There are some features of historical and religious importance in and around the fort. Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple is just outside the fort; the toe of Shiva is worshipped there and a brass Nandi is also located there. Near the temple there are three stone buffaloes standing around a pond. There are Jain temples in the fort. These were built in 1513.
Ciulama de ciuperci

Ciulamaua de ciuperci, rețetă transmisă în Franța deja din Evul Mediu (probabil din regiunea Franche-Comté cu zbârciogi,) cunoscută ca Croûte aux champignons sau Champignons à la crème, este astăzi o mâncăre internațională, folosită și în bucătăria românească.
Pe lângă ciuperci (gălbiori, șampinioni, hribi, zbârciogi sau alte ciuperci de pădure) este nevoie de ulei/unt, smântână, ceva faină pentru legătură, verdețuri, sare, piper, după gust ceapă și mujdei.
Ciupercile se curăță și se prăjesc cu o ceapă și eventual un pic de mujdei. Sarea se adaugă mai târziu. Separat se prăjește făină cu unt, apoi se stinge cu zeamă de legume. Când se îngroașă se poate lega și cu o linguriță de făină), se adaugă ciupercile și se lasă să dea în clocot, adaugând ca verdeață cel puțin pătrunjel dar și mărar precum piper negru (posibil este de asemenea leuștean și cimbru). Se rafină cu smântână și frișcă. Deseori se servește cu mămăligă sau cu o galușcă de franzelă.
Lichior de ouă

Lichiorul de ouă este un produs lactat îndulcit tradițional care conține lapte și/sau smântână, zahăr, ouă bătute (care îi conferă o textură spumoasă). Se pot adăuga băuturi alcoolice cum ar fi brandy, rom, whisky, bourbon, Kahlúa, vodcă sau combinații ale acestora; la sfârșit se poate consuma cu scorțișoară sau nucșoară.

Ai Weiwei

Ai Weiwei (chineză: 艾未未 Ài Wèiwèi, n. 28 august 1957, Peking) este un artist, sculptor chinez. El a fost de mai multe ori arestat în China deoarece este un militant pentru drepturile omului și a criticat sistemul totalitar din China.

Wipro Technologies

Wipro Technologies Limited (Western India Palm Refined Oils Limited) este o corporație multinațională indiană care oferă servicii de tehnologie a informației, consultanță și servicii de procesare a afacerilor. Capacitățile Wipro se referă la cloud computing, securitate cibernetică, transformare digitală, inteligență artificială, robotică, analiză de date și alte servicii de consultanță tehnologică pentru clienți din 167 de țări.
Societatea a fost înființată la 29 decembrie 1945 în Amalner, India, de către Mohamed Premji sub denumirea Western India Vegetable Products Limited, abreviată ulterior în Wipro. Inițial, a fost înființată ca producător de uleiuri vegetale și rafinate sub denumirile comerciale Kisan, Sunflower și Camel.
În 1966, după moartea lui Mohamed Premji, fiul acestuia, Azim Premji, a preluat conducerea Wipro în calitate de președinte, la vârsta de 21 de ani.
În anii '70 și '80, compania și-a mutat atenția către noi oportunități în industria IT și de calculatoare, care la acea vreme se afla într-un stadiu incipient în India. La 7 iunie 1977, numele companiei a fost schimbat din Western India Vegetable Products Limited în Wipro Products Limited.
În 1982, numele a fost schimbat din nou, din Wipro Products Limited în Wipro Limited. În 1999, Wipro a fost listată la Bursa de Valori din New York. În 2004, Wipro a devenit a doua companie indiană de IT care a obținut venituri anuale de 1 miliard de dolari.
În 2012, Wipro și-a divizat activitățile non-IT într-o companie separată numită Wipro Enterprises. Înainte de această divizare, aceste activități, în principal în domeniile de îngrijire a consumatorilor, iluminat, mobilier, hidraulică, tratarea apei și diagnosticare medicală, contribuiau cu aproximativ 10% din veniturile totale ale Wipro.
În august 2018, Wipro a plătit 75 de milioane de dolari către National Grid US ca despăgubire pentru o implementare defectuoasă a SAP, care, potrivit unui audit din 2014, ar putea costa compania 1 miliard de dolari. Wipro fusese angajată ca integrator de sisteme în 2010, dar erorile din cadrul implementării, menite să înlocuiască un sistem Oracle, au provocat pierderi grave și daune reputaționale.
În martie 2020, Hedera a anunțat că Wipro se va alătura Consiliului de Guvernare, oferind o guvernanță descentralizată pentru hashgraphtehnologiei de registru distribuit.
Compania are peste 23.000 de angajați în țări ca Australia, SUA, Brazilia, China, România, Filipine și India.
Compania este prezentă și în România din anul 2007, având în prezent (noiembrie 2009) un număr de 300 angajați.
Thierry Delaporte ocupă funcția de CEO și director general al Wipro începând cu iulie 2020. Fostul președinte și CEO al Wipro este Azim Premji, declarat de către revista Forbes cel mai bogat om al Indiei timp de 6 ani (între 1999 și 2005), cu o avere estimată în prezent la 14,8 miliarde dolari.
The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys, adesea amintiți doar ca Beach Boys (forma nearticulată a numelui originar) care înseamnă „băieții plajei”), este una dintre cele mai semnificative formații rock americane din anii 1960. Grupul a fost înființat în 1961, la Hawthorne, statul California.
Debutul a fost unul favorabil, The Beach Boys devenind în scurt timp cea mai apreciată formație de muzică surf a momentului. Componența inițială a formației îi include pe frații Wilson (Brian, Cars și Dennis), pe vărul lor, Mike Love și pe un prieten al grupului, Al Jardine.
O dată cu preluarea conducerii formației de către Brian Wilson (basist, cântăreț și compozitor), muzica interpretată de The Beach Boys evoluează către direcții de un mai mare rafinament, păstrând totuși accesibilitatea pieselor. Discul care declanșează un stil inovativ, atât pentru formație, cât și pentru orientarea muzicii rock în general, este Pet Sounds, lansat în 16 mai 1966. Albumul, înregistrat pe parcursul a nouă luni de zile, constă în mare parte din colaborarea lui Brian Wilson cu muzicieni specializați pe lucrul în studio (en. session musicians), în lipsa celorlalți membri ai formației; după realizarea negativelor, Wilson îi va aduce în studio pe componenții Beach Boys pentru a înregistra părțile vocale de adăugat. Lansarea Pet Sounds nu aduce vânzările imediate ale discurilor anterioare (în S.U.A.), însă noua direcție a formației atrage atenția criticii și ascultătorilor din Marea Britanie. În timp, discul se va dovedi a fi cea mai aclamată realizare a formației și unul dintre cele mai bune produse ale genului rock. Revista Rolling Stone îl situează pe poziția a doua a clasamentului celor mai bune 500 de albume din toate timpurile, stabilit la finele anului 2003.
Entuziasmat de succesul foarte mare în Anglia, Brian Wilson se va angaja în scurt timp într-o întrecere nedeclarată cu formația The Beatles; caută să creeze un disc desăvârșit, atât din punctul de vedere al compoziției, cât și pentru impactul la public scontat. Proiectul se va concretiza sub numele Dumb Angel, devenit Smile, pentru care Brian Wilson începe lucrul în studio din august 1966; în întâmpinarea mișcării psihedelice, și-l alătură pe poetul Van Dyke Parks pentru scrierea noilor piese. Ceilalți membri Beach Boys se împotrivesc proiectului, Brian fiind acuzat că își pierde coerența din pricina obsesiei de a-i întrece pe Beatles și a consumului tot mai mare de droguri. Până în mai 1967, când munca la proiect este întreruptă de Wilson însuși și lăsată nefinalizată, numărul înregistrărilor produse pentru acesta era imens. Smile devine cea mai cunoscută legendă a scenei muzicale rock, în materie de albume nelansate. Mai târziu, în anii 1980 se vor publica discuri cu fragmente din înregistrările în studio, iar în 2003 Wilson se reîntâlnește cu Van Dyke Parks pentru a completa proiectul și înregistrează noua versiune alături de muzicieni tineri în anul următor.

Potato Salad (song)

"Potato Salad" is a song by American rappers Tyler, the Creator and ASAP Rocky. It was first released on July 23, 2018, from AWGE's AWGE DVD Vol. 3, before being released to streaming services on September 28, 2018. The song is a freestyle of "Knock Knock" by Monica.
On Twitter, Tyler, the Creator revealed that he had been trying to rap over the beat of "Knock Knock" for ten years.
The lyrics revolve around topics including wealth and fashion. In the first verse, Tyler, the Creator makes puns based on a PlayStation controller, acknowledges the habit of many rappers to spend money on jewelry with a mention of designer Ben Baller, and boasts his income with lines about buying "COMME blouses" and packing houses with "some Leo Dicaps and some Cole Sprouses". ASAP Rocky performs the second verse, in which he references rapper Lil B and his group The Pack's song "Vans" and insists twice that his designer bag is "not a purse, it's a satchel." He later gives his stance on the state of hip hop and the new wave generation of artists that have been called mumble rappers, defending them and taking a dig at the older generation who look down upon them, with a reference to the criticism of the 2018 XXL Freshman Class. Rocky also shouts out to hip hop group Shabazz Palaces.
The music video was shot by AWGE and filmed in Paris. The rappers meet up in the city, where they clown around and rap in front of the Eiffel Tower, as well as in the streets. They also show off their designer products, wearing fisherman sweaters and Chanel. As they perform, the lyrics of the song flash on screen. Rapper Jaden Smith also makes a cameo in the video, during ASAP Rocky's verse. The clip ends with a message hinting at a collaboration between Tyler, the Creator and ASAP Rocky: "WANG$AP Coming Soon".

Flag of Kansas

The flag of the U.S state of Kansas was adopted in 1927. The elements of the state flag include the Kansas state seal and a sunflower. This original design was modified in 1961 to add the name of the state at the bottom of the flag.
The official flag of Kansas is represented by a dark-blue silk rectangle representing Kansas arranged horizontally with the state seal aligned in the center. Above the seal is a sunflower which sits over a bar of gold and light blue. Below the seal is printed the name of the state "KANSAS".
The state seal centered on the flag tells the history of Kansas and his figures representing pioneer life. The seal contains:
The thirty-four stars clustered at the top of the seal identify Kansas as the 34th state to be accepted into the Union of the United States. Kansas state law provides that the flag is to be used on all occasions when the state is officially represented.
During Bleeding Kansas, an unknown party made a 31-star U.S. flag with the letter "K" in the top right of the canton. The "K" stood for Kansas and was flown when the area was still a territory. It is unknown whether the flag was used in support or opposition to slavery in the territory, but it is known that the party supported Kansas statehood.
In 1916, the Daughters of the American Revolution organised a contest to create a flag for Kansas. The winner was Esther Northrup of Lawrence, whose design consisted of three horizontal stripes of red, white and blue, with a gold sunflower on a blue background in the canton, and the state seal in the center of the sunflower. The proposed flag was submitted to the Kansas legislature in 1917, but was ultimately not adopted.
The flag of Kansas was designed in 1925 by Hazel Avery and first used in a Fourth of July parade in Lincoln, Kansas. Officially adopted by the Kansas State Legislature in 1927 and modified in 1961 (the word "Kansas" was added below the seal in gold block lettering). First flown at Fort Riley by Governor Benjamin S. Paulen in 1927 for the troops at Fort Riley and for the Kansas National Guard.
From 1925 to 1927, Kansas used a state banner instead of a flag. The Kansas state banner, which consisted of a large sunflower and the word "Kansas" on a blue field, was intended to be hung from a horizontal bar, rather than a vertical flag pole. It was given a unique design to avoid "competition" with the United States flag. However, after the banner was rejected for display in Washington, D.C., and generated complaints for its awkward method of hanging, the state legislature adopted a state flag that saw the addition of the word "Kansas" at the bottom in 1961 but has otherwise retained its original design.
According to the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA), the state banner exists today as an official alternative to the state flag. The organization's website features the banner – a lone sunflower on a blue field – and attributes it to Adjutant General Joe Nickell. However, the Kansas State Historical Society describes the same design as a flag submitted by Albert T. Reid before the state banner was adopted, and makes no mention of its status as an alternative flag.

Saint-Michel-des-Saints

Saint-Michel-des-Saints (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ miʃɛl de sɛ̃]) is a municipality in the Matawinie Regional County Municipality of Quebec, Canada. Agriculture, forestry, recreation, and tourism have been the main activities found within this region.
In 1863, Thomas-Léandre Brassard settled near the falls of Pine Lake (Lac des Pins) where he built a mill and a manor. Three years later, there were 136 inhabitants. In 1870, the post office opened. By 1883, the Parish of Saint-Michel-des-Saints was officially formed and followed two years later in 1885 by the formation of the parish municipality. The name Saint-Michel-des-Saints, chosen by Ignace Bourget at the suggestion of Father Brassard, honours Michael de Sanctis who lived from 1591 to 1625.
In 1929, the dam on the Matawin River was constructed that would result in the formation of the Taureau Reservoir. This reservoir drowned the neighbouring village of Saint-Ignace-du-Lac (founded in 1877) and so that municipality was annexed by Saint-Michel-des-Saints in 1931, thereby increasing its territory by about 15 square kilometres (5.8 sq mi).
In 1979, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Michel-des-Saints and the United Township Municipality of Masson-et-Laviolette (founded in 1914) were merged to form the new Municipality of Saint-Michel-des-Saints.
In 2018, a flood occurred in late April and early May.
Saint-Michel-des-Saints is the largest and northernmost municipality in the Lanaudière region (not considering the unorganized territories). The village itself is located at the northern end of Quebec Route 131 along the Matawin River, near the south-western corner of Taureau Reservoir.
The larger lakes in the municipality include Durand, Beauséjour, Hazen, and Kaiagamac. These and the many other ones attract many summer cottage vacationers. The area's forests are popular for hunting and trapping.
In the 2011 Census, Statistics Canada originally reported that Saint-Michel-des-Saints had a population of 2,201 living in 979 of its 1,774 total dwellings, an 18.9% change from its 2006 population of 2,713. Statistics Canada subsequently amended the 2011 census results to a population of 2,436 living in 1,084 of its 1,990 total dwellings, a -10.2% change from 2006. With a land area of 501.28 km (193.55 sq mi), it had a population density of 4.8596/km (12.5862/sq mi) in 2011.

Lac de Serre-Ponçon

The Lac de Serre-Ponçon (French pronunciation: [lak də sɛʁ pɔ̃sɔ̃]; Vivaro-Alpine: Lac de Sèrra Ponçon), known in English as the Lake of Serre-Ponçon, is a reservoir on the border between the Hautes-Alpes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence departments, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, Southeastern France, one of the largest in Western Europe. The lake gathers the waters of the Durance and the Ubaye rivers, flowing down through the Hautes-Alpes and the Alpes du Sud to the Rhône. The waters are dammed by the Barrage de Serre-Ponçon, a 123-metre (404 ft) high earth core dam.
As well as water control, sixteen hydroelectric plants use the water, with additional water control supporting; the lake provides irrigation to 1,500 square kilometres (580 sq mi) of land.
The lake was created to control water flow after disastrous floods caused severe damage and loss of life in 1843 and 1856. First proposed in 1895, construction started in 1955 and was completed by 1961.
During construction of the lake, approximately 3,000,000 cubic metres (110,000,000 cu ft) of material was moved. The dam was constructed and the valley slowly became a lake, flooding some villages in the process. This flooding is the subject of Jean Giono's movie Girl and the River (1958), starring Guy Béart.
According to the official website of the Muséoscope, the "museum of the largest dam in Europe made of compacted soil", Lac de Serre-Ponçon includes a hydroelectric power plant with a 380 MW generator. In addition to the power plant on the lake itself, the dam provides the reservoir and overall water management to facilitate an additional 15 hydroelectric plants along the Durance and Verdon rivers in Southeastern France, with total capacity of 2,000 MW.
The dam's effects go beyond only the lake itself. It serves as a focal point that supports the functioning of a vast hydroelectric infrastructure network. In Southeast France, this network consists of 15 hydroelectric facilities that are carefully placed along the Durance and Verdon rivers. The combined capacity of these linked plants, which totals 2,000 MW, makes a substantial contribution to sustainable power generation and the region's energy landscape.
Within the lake is a small chapel, Chapelle Saint-Michel, which was originally built on a hill in the 12th century, destroyed by the army of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy in 1692, and rebuilt soon after. The chapel was originally condemned during the construction of the dam and lake, but survived, its hill becoming an island in the lake. The island is accessible on foot during winter and early spring as the lake is emptier at this period

List of lakes of France

This list of lakes in France roughly distinguishes three categories: the mountain lakes, sorted first by massif, and then by départements; the lakes in plains, sorted by river basin; and the coastal lakes.
Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), the largest in western Europe with 582 km (225 sq mi), partly in France, partly in Switzerland, is listed in Haute-Savoie for its French part.
The lakes of mountain massifs can be natural, often of glaciary origin (G), or volcanic (V), or artificial, generally built for hydraulic energy purposes (H) or flow regulation (F).
The lakes in this category can be natural (N) or designed to be used as reservoirs (R).
The lakes close to the sea can be filled with fresh water (F) or sea water (S).
Lac Taureau Regional Park

The Lac Taureau Regional Park is a regional park set around Taureau Reservoir (sometimes identified as Toro or Matawin reservoir, and colloquially dubbed as Taureau lake), located in part (south half) in the municipality of Saint-Michel-des-Saints and unorganized territories of Baie-de-la-Bouteille and Lac-Matawin, in the Matawinie regional county municipality, in the administrative region of Lanaudière, in Quebec in Canada.
By the mid-19th Century, this sector has grown mainly through agriculture and forestry. Intensive logging generated logs which were deposited on the ice during winter. Driftwood down the Matawin River to the Saint-Maurice River, to feed the pulp and paper mills downstream, such as those of Grand-Mère Shawinigan and Trois-Rivières. From the 20th century, recreation and tourism are major activities in the region.
Initiatives for the creation of a recreation area date back to 1992, but the park itself was officially founded in 2005.
The park is located 155 kilometres (96 mi) north of Montreal. Lac Taureau park shares its eastern limits with Mastigouche Wildlife Reserve. The large reservoir of Lake Taureau covers 95 square kilometres (37 sq mi). This large lake has 31.7 kilometres (19.7 mi) of banks including many sandy beaches, including the beach of Pointe-Fine located at the end of a peninsula jutting off the center of the lake. This lake has 45 islands. The sandy shores of "Baie du Milieu" (bays of the Middle), and "Baie des embranchements" (baie of Splitter) and "Baie du Poste" attract fans of camping and swimming in a wildness.
The Matawin River flows into the reservoir by the west side, and jump back to the lake outlet (the East side), controlled by the Matawin dam erected at the bottom of the Barrage bay at an altitude of 356.58 metres (1,169.9 ft).
The reservoir is divided into three parts, each adopting the north-south axis and connected by narrow passages. Each part has several large bays:
The park protects 45 islands sat on Taureau reservoir. The most important are:
The regional park offers opportunity for resorting, water sports (including swimming and boating), camping and hiking in the forest. The park has several rustic campsites, including the Milieu and Poste bays sites.
The parks also counts some trails, some maintained by private landlords:
Several outfitters offer kayak tours or other types of boats to visit unsettled bays.
La Verna cave

La Verna is a show cave in the commune of Sainte-Engrâce in the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques in France. 660 metres (2,170 ft) of mined tunnel leads into the Salle de la Verna, the largest chamber in a show cave in the world. It has a diameter of 250 metres (820 ft), a height of 194 metres (636 ft), a surface area of 5 hectares (12 acres) and a volume of 3.6 million cubic metres (130,000,000 cu ft). A river cascades into the chamber from halfway up the east wall, and sinks into boulders near the base of the chamber.
The chamber was named after the Lyon scouts, La Verna Troop, who helped in the attempted rescue of Marcel Loubens who died following a fall during the 1952 explorations.
In 2003 a standard 4 person hot-air balloon was flown in Salle de la Verna.
La Verna is part of the 86-kilometre-long (53 mi), 1,410-metre-deep (4,630 ft), Gouffre de la Pierre Saint-Martin and Gouffre des Partages cave system which has fourteen known entrances. Explorations still continue in this and in other systems within the extensive Pierre-Saint-Martin karst area where 13 underground rivers and a total of 288 kilometres (179 mi) of passages, chambers and shafts have been mapped.
Most of the Gouffre de la Pierre-Saint-Martin is formed by dissolution in Cretaceous limestones, and the main river reaches a base level where it flows over insoluble schists of the Paleozoic basement rocks. The Salle de la Verna has formed where the river flows off the schist onto Devonian limestone. Over time, the river found a route through the soluble limestones, leaving the original downstream river passage (the Gallerie Aranzadi) high and dry. The chamber was formed by a process of solution and collapse, beginning about 200,000 years ago. The unconformity between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks is clearly exposed in the walls of the chamber.
The river flowing through the chamber originated from the infiltration zones on the 2,000-metre high (6,600 ft) limestone plateaus, and emerges at springs 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) lower, in the valley of Saint-Engrâce.
In this mineral world lives a unique community of animals, adapted to the dark depths of the karst. They are small invertebrates, blind, and without pigmentation. The two most common species observed in La Verna are the Aphaenops loubensi and Aphaenops ochsi. In order to survive, these insects need an atmosphere saturated with humidity. After fecundation, the female lays a single egg, out of which a small larva hatches. Contrary to insects on the surface, this larva immediately metamorphoses to an adult, without feeding. The biologist Michel Cabidoche studied these animals in the 60’s. Since the opening of la Verna to visitors, in 2010, a team of researchers of the French national museum of natural history, under the leadership of Professor Arnaud Faille, closely follows their evolution.

Lake Plastiras

Lake Plastiras (Greek: Λίμνη Πλαστήρα) also called Tavropos Reservoir (Greek: Τεχνητή Λίμνη Ταυρωπού) is an artificial lake fed by Tavropos (Megdovas) river, located in Karditsa regional unit, near the city of Karditsa, Greece. The lake is named after the Greek general and politician Nikolaos Plastiras, who was the first to visualize the construction of an artificial lake in the area.
The idea of building a reservoir in the area was allegedly first conceived by general Nikolaos Plastiras who, in 1925, was visiting his hometown in the area. During this time the whole area was devastated by a major flood of the river Tavropos. He exerted pressure on the Ministry of Agriculture, who by 1929 assembled a committee to investigate the situation. Politicians opposed the plan for the next years, up to the Second World War.
After the war, the idea was revived by Plastiras as he was proclaimed Prime Minister. The (then newly formed) Power Corporation adopted the project as part of their effort to electrify the country. An international contest was held in 1953 that was won by the French Omniun Lyonnais. The building of the dam started on December 14, 1955. On October 30, 1960, the dam was officially inaugurated, although the flooding may have started as early as the last months of 1959.
Today the lake holds up to 400 million cubic meters of fresh water. It is used for irrigation and as a power source of a hydroelectric plant, but also as the main water source to the city of Karditsa. Due to its altitude (one of the highest in Europe) the Tavropos Reservoir is a popular tourist resort in Greece, as the formed landscape is quite unique.
