"1856 Victorian colonial election"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''1856 Victorian colonial election''' was held from 23 September to 24 October 1856 to elect the first Parliament of Victoria.",
"All 60 seats in 37 electorates in the Legislative Assembly were up for election, though eight seats were uncontested.",
"The eligibility to vote at the 1856 Victorian election was subject to a property qualification.",
"The voting was carried out by secret ballot.There were 20 single-member, 14 two-member and one each of three-member, four-member and five-member electorates.The historian Henry Gyles Turner, writing in 1904, described the election in the following terms: \"The voting was largely controlled by personal feeling and private influences, for there was no stirring party cry in the ascendant, and the quieting effect of the voting by secret ballot made strongly for orderliness in the proceedings\".",
"William Haines formed the first ministry after the election, a continuation of his previous role in the Legislative Council, even though his government was potentially in the minority in the lower house."
],

],
[
"Background to the election",
"After the colony of Victoria was separated from New South Wales in July 1851 the first Legislative Council was established.",
"Two-thirds of its members were elected and one-third was appointed by Charles La Trobe, the colony's first lieutenant-governor.",
"In December 1854 William Haines was appointed to the position of colonial secretary, the senior local official representing the government in the Legislative Council.",
"At that time the colonial secretary acted under instructions from the lieutenant-governor who, in turn, followed orders from London.",
"The British government had committed to self-government in local affairs for the colony of Victoria, under a constitution to be framed by the colonists themselves.",
"Haines was a member of the committee that drafted the new constitution in 1853.The constitution was passed in the Legislative Council in 1854 and eventually endorsed by the British parliament after some amendments.",
"News reached the colony in October 1855 that the Constitution Act had received the royal assent.",
"The governor, Charles Hotham, declared a public holiday for 23 November 1855, the date of its proclamation.The responsibility for local affairs was effectively handed over to the colonists when the new constitution came into force.",
"Governor Hotham appointed Legislative Council members in charge of government departments as ministers in the transition government prior to the establishment of a bicameral parliament.",
"Haines, as the leading official, took on the post of chief secretary and soon afterwards the colonial newspapers began referring to him as the premier.",
"Although there were no firm party loyalties at this stage it was essentially a conservative ministry, described by ''The Age'' newspaper as \"an oligarchical clique\".",
"In order to carry out an election for a new Legislative Assembly, the existing Legislative Council needed to pass electoral laws, a process that commenced in December 1855.The ministry led by Haines faced an early setback during debate on the principle of a secret ballot.",
"William Nicholson, previously mayor of Melbourne, put forward a motion that voting by secret ballot should be embodied in the electoral provisions, a proposal vehemently opposed by Haines and his ministry.",
"Nicholson's motion was carried on 18 December 1855, prompting Haines and his ministry to resign.",
"Nicholson was asked to form a government, for which he had no enthusiasm, and the Haines ministry resumed office on December 29.Haines then agreed that the question of a secret ballot \"should be an open, and not a ministerial, question\".",
"The practical system of secret voting was devised by Henry Chapman and incorporated in the electoral laws.",
"The Electoral Act, which included provisions facilitating the election of a Legislative Assembly, was eventually passed in March 1856."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"Twenty of the newly elected members of the Legislative Assembly, including William Haines, had previously served in the Legislative Council.",
"Haines was a successful candidate for the South Grant electorate and led the first ministry, though from the outset there was uncertainty as to whether his government could consistently command a majority in parliament.",
"During the first few months of sittings the Haines ministry faced an opposition dominated by John O'Shanassy and Charles Gavan Duffy.",
"On several occasions the government lost votes in the house, but any response by Haines did not go beyond threatening to resign.",
"On 3 March 1857, however, O'Shanassy and his supporters carried a resolution censuring the government for the alleged misappropriation of immigration funds which led to the resignation of the Haines ministry.O'Shanassy became premier on 11 March 1857 but he faced difficulties in commanding a stable majority, especially after three members of his cabinet were defeated in ministerial by-elections.",
"After seven weeks of nominal power the ministry resigned in April 1857 after a no-confidence resolution was carried in parliament.",
"After O'Shanassy resigned the leader of the parliamentary liberal faction, James McCulloch, was entrusted to form a new ministry.",
"McCulloch made attempts to form a coalition to unite the competing factions, but O'Shanassy refused his overtures.",
"Haines was more amenable and resumed office as chief secretary and premier, with McCulloch as minister for trade and customs.",
"The principal reforms of the Legislative Assembly during 1857 were the abolition of the property qualification for members (passed in February, but not finalised until August) and the committal to universal manhood suffrage (passed in November 1857).In February 1858 the government proposed a bill to increase the number of members of the Assembly and to establish equal electorates based on the principle of one vote one value.",
"After a resolution condemning one of the schedules of the bill was passed on 23 February 1858 by a majority of twenty-six to seventeen, Haines and his colleagues once again resigned.",
"O'Shanassy formed a new ministry that took office on March 10.The new administration continued the task of amending the electoral bill, including the determination of electoral boundaries.",
"The proposed number of members was eventually decided at seventy-eight, but the concept of equal electorates was dropped from the bill.",
"In October 1858, after accepting amendments by the Legislative Council, the electoral bill became law, to come into force in May 1859.The first parliament of the colony of Victoria had its last sitting on 24 February 1859.Duffy resigned from O'Shanassy's ministry in March 1859 over differences in land policy.",
"During the interregnum the alterations of the electoral machinery were carried out, including the compilation of new rolls for the election that commenced in August 1859."

"Class of 1977-1978 (China)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Classes of 1977 and 1978''', '''Class of 1977-1978''', or simply '''Class 77-78''' () refers to the first two grades of Chinese college students after the return of the nation-wide college entrance examination following an 11-year suspension during the Cultural Revolution.These two groups of students who took the entrance examination in 1977 and 1978 respectively have a lot in common: they both had a very low admission rates, both entered colleges in 1978, both studied consciously and hard, and both had many older high school graduates of the previous years, etc.",
"Therefore, they are often jointly called \"Class of 1977-1978\".",
"Many of them have made amazing contributions in various walks of life after graduation, and have won the honor of \"Golden 77 and Silver 78\" from the public."
],
[
"Background",
"In August 1977, Deng Xiaoping, who had just come back to power for the third time, presided over a science and education symposium in Beijing.",
"During the meeting, he pointed out that labor and talents must be respected.",
"And it was decided to resume the college entrance examination, which had been suspended since 1965.On October 12, the State Council approved the \"Opinions of the Ministry of Education on Student Admission of Colleges and Universities in 1977\", which then became the government policy for the exam and admission.",
"On October 22, the People's Daily published a report officially announcing to the whole country the resumption of the annual college entrance examination.",
"The good news made many people burst into tears, especially the Educated youths who had been sent down to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants for years."
],
[
"Examinations and Admissions",
"The candidates who took the exam include high school graduates from 1966 (when the college entrance examination was canceled due to the Cultural revolution) to 1977 (the year after the Cultural revolution), as well as outstanding high school students who (originally planned to graduate in 1978) took the college entrance examination in advance.",
"So, there were 13 years of high school graduates.",
"From November to December 1977, more than 5.7 million candidates aged 15 to 36 took the entrance examination.",
"The Admissions Committees proposes a list of candidates for political review and physical examination based on student performances of the entrance exam.",
"According to the new national policy, political review mainly depends on the student’s political performance (to reduce the impact of family political background.)",
"The original plan for the 1977 College Entrance Examination was to admit 200,000 people to college.",
"Later, as more than 5.7 million people took the exam and many candidates achieved excellent results, the number of admissions for the Class of 1977 was expanded to 273,000.This year's college entrance examination was designed and organized by each province, municipality and autonomous region.",
"The examination was held in the winter, and students started school in early March of the following year.",
"In 1978, the college entrance examination implemented \"unified nationwide test questionsa, unified examinations, and unified admissions\".",
"The college entrance examination was from July 20 to July 22, and freshmen started school in September.",
"Therefore, both the 1977 and 1978 students entered the school in the same year.",
"In addition, there were also expansion of enrollment in 1978, with a total of 400,000 students admitted to the Class of 1978."
],
[
"Unique features",
"Compared with other college students, the Class of 1977-78 is unique in many ways, and there are some differences between the two grades.",
"First of all, the college entrance examination were very competitive and the admission rates extremely low.",
"A total of about 270,000 people were admitted to Class 77, with an admission rate of 4.8%, the lowest level in the history of China's college entrance examination; 400,000 people were admitted to Class 78, admission rate 6.6%, which is also very low.",
"The classmates had a wide range of ages and social experiences.",
"When entering university, the oldest students were over 35 years old and the youngest only 15.There were teachers and students taking the college entrance examination together, mothers and daughters going to college at the same time, some were teenagers, and some were parents of several children.",
"In the college entrance examination in 1977 and 1978, due to the short preparation time, the candidates' original knowledge was particularly important.",
"For those who were finally admitted, in addition to intellectual factors, non-intellectual factors also play a certain role.",
"In an era when the theory that \"reading is useless\" is prevalent, they still insisted on reading.",
"Moreover, after going to college, they cherished the hard-won learning opportunities even more.",
"A higher proportion of students were from intellectual families.",
"According to a study by Xiamen University, among the students in the grades of 1977 and 1978, the proportions of intellectual family background reached 25.38% and 23.46% respectively, a record high and much higher than the 6.2% in 1965 (the year before the Cultural Revolution), and 9.83% in 1976 (when worker-peasant-soldier students were admitted to colleges based on recommendations from their units rather than academic entrance exams).",
"In 1977 and 1978, the proportions of students from peasant families were 11.93% and 11.27% respectively, the lowest in history, while in 1965 and 1976 they were 47.05% and 26.08% respectively.",
"The \"political review\" was looser than in previous years.",
"After the academic tests and the physical examination were passed, the candidate must pass a political review to check the personal political performance and family background, including whether any relatives had political and historical problems.",
"The \"political review\" in 1977 was looser than in previous years, but still many students failed.",
"Political review was further relaxed in 1978, and many candidates who re-took the exam in 1978 successfully entered university.",
"In the Class of 1977 there still existed a small number of students recommended to enter colleges.",
"By the time of the Class of 1978, there were no more recommended students.",
"Candidates in 1977 did not know their college entrance examination scores, but candidates in 1978 could see their scores.",
"There were fewer subjects available for students to select from in 1977, and many new subjects were added in 1978.There were also many majors with very limited enrollments in 1977 but greatly expanded in 1978.Compared with other college students, Class 77 and Class 78 also have some common disadvantages, such as poor basic knowledge learnt from primary and secondary schools.",
"During the Cultural Revolution, middle school study was shortened from 6 years to 4 years (2 years for junior high schools and 2 years for senior high schools), and primary school was shortened from 6 years to 5 years.",
"The knowledge students learned was very limited.",
"The famous Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Western literature were basically eliminated from Chinese language textbooks.",
"Mathematics, physics and chemistry courses were replaced by \"Basic Industrial Knowledge\" and \"Basic Agricultural Knowledge\".",
"History and geography were not taught at all.",
"As for English, many places did not offer this course until high school.",
"Students learned the 26 letters and a few words rarely used in modern English, such as \"poor and lower-middle peasants\" (貧下中農), \"worker-peasant-soldier students\" (工農兵學員) and \"comrade\" (同志)."
],
[
"After graduation",
"270,000 students of Class 1977 graduated from 1980 to 1984 (the duration of junior college education was generally 3 years, and some students graduated early due to urgent needs from the society; while undergraduate study in medical school normally took 5 to 6 years).",
"The Class of 1978 was only half a year later than the Class of 1977, with 400,000 students graduating.",
"At that time, China's Reform and opening up was in full swing.",
"After graduation, except for a few belonging to the plan of \"Commune-come-commune-back\", the students were uniformly assigned by the government to different jobs according to national plans (taking into account the students' wishes).",
"Even so, most of them got good jobs because the entire country, especially big cities and big companies, was in desperate need of talents.",
"Later, due to the high success rate of the Classes of 77 and 78, the society gave them the nicknames \"Gold 77 and Silver 78\".",
"These college students have gathered the elites among young people in the past 13 years, so it is not surprising that talents were relatively concentrated.",
"A large number of leading figures have emerged from these two groups in various fields including politics, science, and business.",
"People saw more and more members of the Classes of 1977 and 1978 in China's top leadership groups of the party and government, and called it the \"77 and 78 phenomenon\" in Chinese politics.",
"Retirements began in the early 2000s for the Classes of 77 and 78, and due to the large range of ages and careers, their retirements will last for quite a few years."

"It includes the history of the Dedham Public Schools, several Catholic schools, and other private schools.",
"It also includes two institutions of higher education."
],
[
"First public school",
"The first taxpayer-funded public school in the United States was in Dedham.On January 1, 1644, by unanimous vote, Dedham authorized the first U.S. taxpayer-funded public school; \"the seed of American education.\"",
"Its first teacher, Rev.",
"Ralph Wheelock, was paid 20 pounds annually to instruct the youth of the community.",
"John Thurston was commission by the town to build the first schoolhouse in 1648 for which he received a partial payment of £11.0.3 on December 2, 1650.The details in the contract require him to construct floorboards, doors, and \"fitting the interior with 'featheredged and rabbited' boarding\" similar to that found in the Fairbanks House.By the later part of the century, however, a sentiment of anti-intellectualism had pervaded the town.",
"Residents were content to allow the minister to be the local intellectual and did not establish a grammar school as required by law.",
"As a result, the town was called into court in 1675 and then again in 1691.Stone plaque marking the site of the first public school in America.",
"Located on First Church Green in Dedham, MA.Other schools, including Boston Latin School and the Town of Rehoboth have claimed to be the first public school, but Dedham's was the first to be supported exclusively by tax dollars.",
"Lt.",
"Governor Roger Wolcott led a committee that heard the claims of several cities and towns, including the presentation made by Dedham's Don Gleason Hill and Rev.",
"Carlos Slafter.",
"Governor Frederic T. Greenhalge and the Governor's Council.",
"confirmed that Dedham's was the first.",
"On June 17, 1898, a monument was unveiled on the grounds of the First Church Green, near the site of the original schoolhouse.===First schoolhouse===The first classes were likely in the meetinghouse.",
"The first schoolhouse was built in present-day Dedham Square near the First Church and Parish in Dedham by Thomas Thurston at a cost of £11 3 pence.",
"Approved at a town meeting in January 1648–9, it measured 15' by 18' with two windows and a fireplace.",
"Each boy was responsible for providing his share of firewood during the colder months.",
"The building likely resembled contemporary schools in the English countryside with a raised platform, wooden wainscoting, and high windows.",
"The teacher's desk would look like a pulpit and students would sit on plank seats.The schoolhouse also included a watchtower at one end to prevent Indian attack.",
"Placing the school next to the church was deliberate and symbolized the need for both academic and moral instruction.",
"It stood for nearly 50 years, although in 1661 school was kept in the house of the teacher, Francis Chickering.===Other early educational efforts===The early residents of Dedham were so committed to education that they donated £4.6.6 to Harvard College during its first eight years of existence, a sum greater than many other towns, including Cambridge itself.On March 16, 1695, Dedham and several other towns established a 300-acre School Farm in what is today Wellesley, Massachusetts, near Wellesley College.",
"It did not prove to be profitable, and so it was sold on March 13, 1699, for 50 pounds."
],
[
"Dedham Public Schools",
"On January 2, 1643, the Town Meeting set aside land for three public purposes: a school, a church, and a training field.",
"Two years later, on January 1, 1645, by unanimous vote, the Town of Dedham authorized the first taxpayer-funded public school in the United States.",
"It is believed the success of Dedham's school helped convince the Great and General Court to enact a law mandating schools in every community.",
"Dedham's delegates to that body also served on the local School Committee.School was held year round, with students attending from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the summer and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the winter.",
"Initially held in the village center, the school began travelling around town as families moved to outlying areas.",
"From 1717 to 1756, school was held in different parts of town according to population and taxation.",
"In 1762, for example, it was held in the village for 166 days, in South Dedham for 79 days, in Clapboard Trees, for 69 days, and in the West Precinct for 52 days.",
"When in the outer precincts, classes were often held in private homes, but in some parts of Dedham residents privately built schoolhouses.",
"One such school, in Springfield, was built by residents before that part of town had even organized as a parish.",
"In addition, both boys and girls attended dame schools.Many schools were built in the years following 1897, and were adorned through purchase and donation with a number of works of art.",
"In 1896, the Avery School began running a program to teach illiterate adults how to read.",
"There was also in the 1840s a Lyceum that put on plays in addition to the usual public education programs.===Establishment of a high school===As early as 1827 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts required all towns with more than 500 families to establish a free public high school.",
"Beginning in 1844 the School Committee repeatedly began recommending that the town establish a high school.",
"It wasn't until 1850 when, under threat of a lawsuit, that the town meeting voted to \"instruct the Town's School Committee to hire a building and teacher, and establish a High School according to law.\"",
"A sum of $3,000 was appropriated to support it.===Kindergartens===A kindergarten supported by private subscription was established at the Ames School in 1893 and ran until 1896.In that year the town appropriated money for kindergartens at the Ames, Avery, and Oakdale Schools, but they did not last long.===Teachers===The first teacher, Rev.",
"Ralph Wheelock, was paid 20 pounds annually to instruct the youth of the community.",
"Descendants of these students would become presidents of Dartmouth College, Yale University, and Harvard University.Michael Metcalf was hired as a teacher in 1656 at the age of 70 and John Swinerton was hired in 1663.Joshua Fisher and Thomas Battle also taught during the early years of the school.",
"Battle, Metcalf, and Fisher were all farmers who stepped in to teach when a professional teacher could not be found.",
"As they had their own farms to manage in addition, their pay was not docked unless they missed an entire week's worth of classes.",
"Until he left to minister to the people of the new community of Wrentham in 1671, Rev.",
"Samuel Man also served as teacher.Sir Joseph Belcher, the son of Rev.",
"Joseph Belcher, was the first teacher to travel to the various precincts to hold classes.",
"In 1766, Manasseh Cutler, a future congressman and \"father of Ohio University,\" began teaching.Charles J. Capen started a private school in 1849 and then became the first high school teacher when it was established the following year.===School Committee and administration===The school was originally controlled by the town meeting but, in 1652, it was put under the control of the Selectmen.",
"In 1789, as the town was split into districts, a school committee was formed.",
"Clergymen were elected to oversee the schools.",
"In the mid-1800s, the school committee consisted of Rev.",
"Alvan Lamson, Rev.",
"Samuel Babcock, and Rev.",
"Calvin Durfee.While living in Dedham, Horace Mann served on the School Committee.In 1880, the growth of the schools required that a professional superintendent of schools be hired to oversee them.",
"I. Freeman Hall, who had previously taught in Quincy, was hired.",
"His successors through 1936 include Abner J. Phipps, Henry E. Crocker, Guy Channel, Oscar S. Williams, Roderick W. Hine, and John C. Anthony.From 1956 to 2004, the administration's offices were housed in the \"White House\" originally built by Charles and Mary Shaw at the corner of East Street and Whiting Avenue.",
"In 2004 they moved to the B-wing of Dedham High School as the house was razed to make room for the new Dedham Middle School.===Finances===The teacher's salary was paid by taxes.",
"For every boy between the ages of four and 14, a tax of between three-and-a-half to five shillings was assessed, depending on how far from the school the family lived.",
"Families who lived more than 2.5 miles from the meetinghouse were exempt from the tax until their children started attending.",
"This covered between 25% and 50% of the total cost, with the rest made up by a tax on the estates of the entire population.",
"In the years following the passage of the Old Deluder Satan Law, Dedham was occasionally fined for not spending enough money of its school but, for the most part, the appropriations to the school were generous.The schoolmaster's salary was initially set at £20 and was raised in 1695 to £25.As there was little specie in the colony at the time, salaries were instead paid in wheat and corn.",
"Michael Metcalf, for example, received five pounds of each crop at every six months.",
"Not until 1696 did teachers receive actual money for their labor.",
"While the salary was not high, teachers earned a great deal of respect.",
"Records show that teachers were given the honorary title of \"sir\" at a time when most men were not even referred to as \"mister.",
"\"The first donation to the school was made by Dr. Henry Deengaine of Roxbury.",
"His deathbed will, taken verbally by John Eliot and approved by Governor John Winthrop, left £3 to the school.",
"In 1680, Dr. William Avery gave £60, and the Honorable Samuel Dexter left $170 in his will.",
"Dexter requested that his bequest, along with several other sums previously donated for the school but were used to hire soldiers instead, be returned to the school.",
"The town agreed to the terms but this fund, along with other school funds, subsequently disappeared.",
"A fund established by Deacon Nathaniel Kingsbury in 1749 had a corpus of £100, the interest of which was to be used for the schools.On January 1, 1744–5, school trust funds had a balance of £236, 2s, 8d.",
"By 1749–50, the account had £345, 8s, which was loaned out to 12 men in sums between £5 and £100.===Districts===With the town growing and multiple schoolhouses being built, the school was essentially split into districts in 1756.The districts were not established by law, however, until 1789.As early as 1848, Rev.",
"Dr. Alvan Lamson of the First Church and Parish in Dedham was making the argument that the districts should be abolished and Horace Mann said that the law allowing districts was \"beyond comparison, the most pernicious law ever pass in the Commonwealth on the subject of schools.\"",
"The districts were discontinued in 1866 when the Town purchased all 11 buildings for a total of $49,180 and returned their value to the taxpayers of the respective districts."

"Catholic schools",
"===St.",
"Mary's School and Asylum===In 1866 the Sisters of Charity founded the St. Mary's School and Asylum at what was formerly the Norfolk House.",
"The property was sold to them for $1 by Martin Bates who, out of a \"spirit of vindictiveness,\" gave it to the Sisters because the Town of Dedham would not purchase the run down building from him at his asking price.",
"Bates, who was not Catholic, had previously tried selling the building at auction, but could find no buyer willing to pay a price equal to his mortgage.",
"At news of the sale, the ''Dedham Gazette'' wrote in an editorial:Whatever prejudices may naturally exist against the establishment of a Roman Catholic School in so central a location, the community cannot but feel that the transformation of a building recently used only for the indiscriminate sale of liquors into an institution founded for 'promoting virtue, learning and piety in the town of Dedham' is an object worthy only of the most exalted motives, and in this view should be accepted as a public blessing.The school was situated far away from the homes of many parishioners of the local Catholic Church, St. Mary's, and thus they did not send their children to it.",
"Since they did not send their children to it, they did not support it financially either.",
"The school held a number of fundraisers, but with the heavy debt of the parish the school closed on June 27, 1879.It would have cost the parish $1,500 a year to keep it open.",
"The closure was intended to be temporary, but it never reopened.",

"Trichocera maculipennis"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Trichocera maculipennis''''', commonly known as the '''winged winter cranefly''', is a species of winter crane fly, of the order Diptera.",
"First described by German entomologist Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1818."
],
[
"Description",
"The winged adults typically between 0.5–1 cm in length and appear between autumn and early spring.There are four larval instars that feed on decaying matter and sometimes faeces.",
"Pupation usually lasts only a few hours.Similar to other species of ''Trichocera'', winged winter craneflies are adapted to cold environments, but unlike most congeneric species, they seems to be tolerant to both warm and cold climates.Furthermore, unlike most congeneric species, the larvae of '''Trichocera maculipennis'' seem to be adapted to survive in semi-liquid or even liquid environments.",
"They likely achieve this by raising the anal end with spiracles above the surface of the substrate.",
"This adaptation was likely a factor enabling them to establish in sewage in stations in Antarctica."
],
[
"Distribution",
"''Trichocera maculipennis'' naturally occurs across Europe, North America, Asia, and India, ranging from temperate regions to Arctic regions.",
"It is an introduced species in Antarctica and was first recorded there in the austral summer of 2006/2007.Since then, there were several attempts at eradication from Antarctic stations."

"Conglomerate (play)"

[
"Introduction",
"'''''Congolmerate''''' is a 1938 Australian radio play by Alexander Turner about a gold robbery in a small town.The play represented Western Australia in the ABC's 1938 Drama Festival, where the Commission broadcast a series of plays.The play was performed again in 1939.It was published in a 1946 collection of Australian radio plays."
],
[
"Reception",
"Leslie Rees said it \"might be termed a “dramatic descriptive of life on a hard, hot, dusty Western Australian goldfield.",
"The commonplace and the picturesque are merged in an arresting pattern.",
"Turner writes of what he knows”A critic from ''Wireless Weekly'' described the play as a \"chorus-commentary out of a girl’s voice reading a letter from her lover on the goldfields.",
"A bit of reading, a bit of action, a bit of reading, a bit of action.",
"I remember a conversation in whispers that nearly split my loud speaker about robbing a bank, also a train going on and on, and the woman’s husband being killed and she just going back.",
"I remember feeling sad about this, and then waking up with a shock to choral excerpts from “Maritana”—the play seemed to have run away from me on the train.",
"Maybe this was the effect Mr. Turner intended.",
"\"A different critic from ''Wireless Weekly'' reviewing a 1939 production said \"I must congratulate Mr. Alexander Turner on his story.",
"Its many facets were cleverly arranged, and I approved the way he based each scene on an extract from a letter written by a bank clerk in Murchison to his sweetheart at the coast.",
"\"According to the ''Western Australian'' \"he human sympathy, close observation and the clear simplicity of Mr. Turner's writing are again the virtues of this play.",
"There is enough dramhtic quality in the plotting of the robbery to provide the tension that is probably necessary to make radio drama hold the attention of a wide audience, but it is the discovery and delineation of the life of bank clerk, railway guard, mothec, nurse, barmaid and miner and, in part, of the very Goldfields town itself, that lifts this play far above scores of others which have stories as involved and surprising as the wiring of a home-made radio set.",
"\"''The Bulletin'' called it \"a study of goldfields life, interesting in its minor details of bars, nurses, country trains, but depending too much on accident, and a crude “wow” type of ending.\""
],
[
"Premise",
"According to ''Wireless Weekly'' is was \"a cross-section of the life of a Murchison goldfield, Western Australia.",
"It is a hard, hot, dusty picture.",
"Yet romance emerges, crime, humor, pathos, tragedy.",
"Into a relatively short play the author of “Hester Siding” and “Coat of Arms” has packed a three-dimensional view of a goldfields community—“the empty skyline of the fields, broken only by poppet heads and dumps; the barren expanse of semi-desert glittering in the fierce sunshine; and drawn back on to its dusty hillock like a regiment hard-pressed.",
"the huddle of iron huts which is Murchison —railhead and metropolis of the Murchison goldfield, with unchallenged dominion over a thousand miles of the hardest country on earth.",
"Gold beer heat wool machinery corrugated iron stones mail trucks —there’s your background for Murchison.\""

"Dog Factory"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Dog Factory''''' is a 1904 silent short comedy film directed by Edwin S. Porter for the Edison Manufacturing Company.",
"The four-and-a-half minute film offers a comic twist on a popular idea from film and vaudeville.",
"The film concerns two inventors who run a \"Dog Factory\", in which strings of sausages can be fed into a machine, and turned into live dogs.",
"The film has been described as an early example of science-fiction."
],
[
"Plot",
"Two men work in a \"Dog Factory\", with the advertising slogan \"Dogs Made While You Wait\".",
"The room is hung with racks of sausages, each labeled with the breed of a dog: Pointer, Setter, Spaniel, Poodle.",
"A couple have more whimsical labels: \"Plain Dog\" and \"Trained Dog\".",
"In the center of the room is a bulky machine labeled \"PATENT DOG TRANSFORMATOR\", with a slot at the top and a flap on each side.",
"A customer enters with three dogs on leashes.",
"One by one, the dogs are inserted into the machine through the slot at the top.",
"One man turns a crank on the machine, and the other man pulls a string of sausages out of the right side of the machine.",
"The three strings of sausages are hung on hooks labeled \"Plain Dog\", \"Trained Dog\", and Boston Bull.",
"The customer thanks them and leaves.The next customer enters and asks for a spaniel.",
"The proprietors take a string of sausages from the \"Spaniel\" hook, insert it into the machine, turn the crank, and remove a spaniel on a leash from the left side of the machine.",
"The customer thanks them, and leaves with his new dog.A woman enters and asks for a new dog.",
"The men create a dachsund for her, but he barks too much and the woman says they should take it back.",
"They patiently turn the dachsund into sausages again, and produce a terrier for her instead.",
"The woman is delighted, and leaves with her dog.",
"As the short continues, the proprietors create a trained dog, and a trio of bull pups.",
"Then a rough-looking customer enters, and asks for a Boston bull — but when the men create a bull for him, the customer brusquely says that's not what he wants, and threatens to punch them.",
"Concerned, the proprietors take a string of sausages from a hook marked \"Fighting Bull\", and a large dog emerges from the machine and attacks the customer.",
"The tough customer runs away, and the proprietors are pleased to see him go."
],
[
"Production",
"The film is part of a string of \"sausage-making\" films, which began in 1895/96 with the Lumière Brothers' ''La Charcuterie mécanique'' (''The Mechanical Butcher'').",
"In that film, a live pig is led into a machine, which turns them into sausages coming out the other end.",
"This inspired other films, including George Albert Smith's ''Making Sausages'' (1897), Biograph Studios' ''The Sausage Machine'' (1897), and Porter's own ''Fun in a Butcher Shop'' (1901).",
"The twist introduced by ''Dog Factory'' in 1904 is that the process is reversible, turning sausages back into dogs.According to Edison's catalog, the two inventors in the film are intended to be Germans."
],
[
"Distribution",
"The 240-foot film sold 42 prints during 1904."

"The Southern Cross (play)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''The Southern Cross''''' is a 1930 Australian play by Louis Esson about the Eureka Rebellion.The play was published in a collection of plays by Esson in 1946.The ''Melbourne Argus'' said \"It catches very well the atmosphere of the Eureka Stockade, and the delineation of Peter Lalor makes one's heart warm towards that stalwart.",
"\"''The Bulletin'' felt \"the people in 'The Southern Cross' are too sketchily drawn and seem imperfectly understood.",
"\"Another critic felt the play was \"sincere and deeply felt, but it is so episodic with its thirteen scenes, some confused, some static, that it never really comes to grips with its subject.",
"\"According to Leslie Rees \"Esson's play too literally follows established facts; it is a purely objective presentation of the main events leading into the stockade fight... one does not feel that the author has included anything of himself, except some technical skill.",
"He has not created any people, only copied them from history and from Raffaello.",
"Even apart from this, Esson's version takes a very narrow view of the whole episode, suggesting none of the political undertones and ramifications, the growth of the Reform League, with its list of Chartist demands, and so on.",
"Esson seems to concentrate only on the physical facts of Eureka.\""

"The Watch on the Headland"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''The Watch on the Headland''''' is a 1940 Australian radio play by M. Barnard Eldershaw, the name for Marjorie Barnard and Flora Eldershaw.",
"It was their first radio play.The play is set on the South Head of Sydney Harbour two years after the foundation of the colony, in 1790.Characters include Captain Arthur Phillip, Watkin Tench, John Hunter and Midshipman Southwell.",
"The play won second prize in a 1940 ABC Radio Play Competition, which was won by George Farwell's ''Portrait of a Gentleman''.The play was well received and was produced again in 1943, 1949 and 1956.It was published in a 1946 collection of scripts, ''Australian Radio Plays''."
],
[
"Reception",
"Leslie Rees called it \"a slight play, a single incident of the earliest days of Sydney...",
"It is a picture of the near-defeat of a community, of the hysteria, nostalgia, individual rebellion, resignation and steely withering self-control all called forth by a desperate occasion.",
"Not a comfortable play, one sculptured out of cold marble, not perhaps taking a radio audience as such sufficiently into confidence, and seeming on the radio to end too precipitately — but the work of literary artists.",
"\"A biographer of the authors called the play \"extremely effective.",
"The vigorous dialogue is highly individualized, by character and dialect.",
"The writers succeeded in bringing together in little space and at a dramatic moment a variety of First Fleeters with an equal variety of reactions to the colony’s dire predicament— and in flashing an understanding portrait of Phillip himself, most lonely, most sorely tried, and ultimately most renowned of all Australia’s early leaders.\"",
"Reviewing a 1940 radio production, \"Jonathan\" from ''Wireless Weekly'' said the writers \"have produced a work of distinction without having recourse to any strong plot.",
"They achieve results by means of distilled and unusual dialogue.",
"A few words in this play would have become a page of script in less skilful hands... Acting, timing and production throughout were without fault.\""

"The genus contains a single species, '''''F.",
"brevispinus''''', known from two well-preserved three-dimensional skeletons."
],
[
"Discovery and naming",
"The ''Franconiasaurus'' fossil material was discovered in sediments of the Mistelgau fossil pit of the lower Jurensismergel Formation (''Grammoceras thouarsense'' Zone) in Bayreuth District, Bavaria, Germany.",
"The holotype specimen, BT 011224.00, was discovered between 2014 and 2018 and consists of a nearly complete, partially articulated skeleton.",
"BT 011241.00, an incomplete disarticulated specimen discovered in 2005, was also referred to ''Franconiasaurus''.In 2024, Sachs, Eggmaier & Madzia described ''Franconiasaurus brevispinus'' as a new genus and species of plesiosauroid based on these fossil remains.",
"The generic name, \"'''Franconiasaurus''\", combines Franconia, after the Bavarian region of the type locality, with the Greek \"σαῦρος\" (\"sauros\"), meaning \"reptile\".",
"The specific name, \"''brevispinus''\", references the short neural spines of some of the cervical and dorsal vertebrae.Life restoration"
],
[
"Classification",
"In their phylogenetic analyses, Sachs, Eggmaier & Madzia (2024) recovered ''Franconiasaurus'' as a plesiosauroid member of the Plesiosauria, as the sister taxon to the Cryptoclidia.",
"This suggests that ''Franconiasaurus'' fills an evolutionary gap between more basal taxa (like early plesiosauroids including ''Plesiosaurus''-like forms and microcleidids) and later-diverging taxa (including cryptoclidids, leptocleidians, and elasmosaurids).",

"These traditions were clearly folklorized in the 20th century.",
"Pierre-Jakez Hélias popularized the equestrian traditions of the Bigoudend region in his novel ''The Horse of Pride'', which was adapted for the cinema."

"It was produced and commented by Kristen Noguès, Breiz multimedia and the audio-visual creation workshop in Saint-Cadou, Finistère.",
"Breeders from Lower Brittany evoke their ''gwad keseg'' to talk about the passion for horses that's \"in their blood\"."

"Worship and religious traditions",
"=== In ancient times ===The horse was certainly worshipped by various Armorican tribes, with the cult of the warrior's steed gradually replacing that of a probable Neolithic mother goddess.",
"The very popular Gallic goddess Epona, protector of horses, is worshipped by both Gauls and Roman cavalry units.",
"There is no evidence of her worship in present-day Brittany.",
"White clay statuettes discovered in the 19th century, and a bronze statuette found at Baye, suggest the veneration of an equestrian goddess among the people of Armorique, perhaps a local variant of Epona.",
"The goddess worshipped in Ménez Hom is strongly reminiscent of Athena, the Greek goddess associated with the horse.",
"The arrival of Christianity transformed the cult of the horse, introducing saints in particular.=== Pardon for horses ===Bretons know many saints associated with horses: Éloi (against illness), Gildas (fertility and protection rite at the Penvenan pardon), Hervé, Nicodème, Herbot, Cornély, Vincent.",

"The Bretons invoke Saint Éloi (Sant Alar) at the birth of each foal to protect themselves and attract good luck to their animals.=== Superstitions and beliefs ===According to Breton belief, horses are sensitive to religious buildings.",
"Here, the Saint-Gobrien fountain in Saint-Servant.Bretons are reputed to be superstitious.",
"Generally speaking, the presence of a toad has a negative influence on horses, as do small animals such as shrews, field mice, weasels and hedgehogs.",
"In the Loire-Atlantique region, there is a belief dating back to the early 20th century that one should never clean stables in May, as snakes may colonize the premises.",
"Similarly, to work with your horse or in the stable on Sunday or Friday (especially Good Friday), or to put your bread on your back, is to risk divine punishment that will result in the death of the horses.",
"Other beliefs are linked to their color.",
"An animal with four markings is said to be bad for butchery.",
"The presence of hooves with white horns is highly frowned upon, and associated with weakness.If trampled by the horse, stray grass could lead the animal to lose its way: a case has been recorded in Spézet.",
"Horses are also said to be sensitive to the movement of sacred objects: in Elven, a man moved a cross and the horses passing by showed signs of irritation.",
"He put it back in its place, and the animals' behavior returned to normal.",
"Disrespect for the dead can also fall on the horse: Anatole Le Braz cites a man who preferred to collect hay rather than attend a wake, and whose horses all died without the vet finding any explanation.",
"It would seem to be a revenge of the dead.",
"On the contrary, as in many other parts of the world, horseshoes are reputed to be protective, especially when placed with the points upwards.",
"It then captures the good fortune of the sky and transfers it to the place to be protected, where it is fixed.",
"The custom of burying an animal dead from bewitchment with its legs in the air to protect the rest of the herd from bad luck is known from the end of the 17th century.",
"The use of scapegoats was also common.=== Witchcraft and horse healing ===Witchcraft was clearly linked to the Devil as early as the 17th century: Father Maunoir blamed the Devil for his horse running off a bridge and falling into a river.",
"Sorcerers who voluntarily pact with the Evil One are reputed to have powers over animals.",
"A sorcerer could make a sick horse fall, but also weaken it by transferring the beast's forces onto himself.",

"Certain creatures, such as the salamander (19th century), are reputed to kill oxen and horses with a glance.",
"The sorcerer's magic also involves the spoken word.",
"By praising a horse's plumpness, for example, he leaves open the threat that it won't last.",
"Nailing, which consists in piercing the animal's heart or an effigy with nails, is mentioned as early as 1697 as a technique \"that makes horses go crazy\".",
"Other techniques for returning the spell to the sender are also mentioned, such as placing (or burning) parts of the bewitched horse's corpse in the chimney.",
"According to testimonies collected in the mid-20th century, it's possible to spot who has been a sorcerer in his or her life by observing the horses pulling the dead man's hearse on the day of his funeral: they either can't move the coffin, or start running around.A herbal ointment called louzou is commonly used to heal wounds.",
"The ritual and composition may vary.",
"The healer can also use his breath.",
"A testimonial from Saint-Congard tells of a wart healing that included blowing and drawing a cross with the other hand.",
"The act of healing can prove trying for the healer, and become more difficult if the horse owner has strong emotional ties with his animal.",
"The use of magic formulas is highly probable as early as the High Middle Ages.",
"In the 17th century, the Bishop of Saint-Malo denounced them as diabolical.",
"This is no doubt why the treatise on horse care published in Vannes in 1694 recommends a religious formula to cure colic, and why Abbé Thiers mentions the use of the sign of the cross to heal sprains.",
"The formula for curing colic using Saint Éloi appears to be extremely common in the Breton countryside, as it is widely disseminated in grimoires and through oral tradition.",
"Secular and religious formulas are different.",
"The former set forces in motion through words, while the latter take the form of supplications to God and the saints, entrusting themselves to them.",
"The use of various forms of magic has diminished considerably in Brittany, but it still exists.",
"Magnetizers can use horsehair to heal from a distance, or soak hooves in magnetized water.=== Relationships with lutins ===Numerous relationships have been recorded between lutins and horses.",
"At the end of the 19th century, Paul Sébillot provided evidence of the belief that lutins groom and feed horses, which in Upper Brittany causes horses to neigh with joy when Maît' Jean brings them their food.Lutins are reputed to visit stables at night, leaving traces of their passage in the form of twisted manes, which they use to make stirrups (the famous \"fairy knots\").",
"Proof of the lutins' forfeit, the owner finds his animal covered in sweat in the morning.",
"Horses with \"fairy knots\" are prized at Breton markets, and the mares are reputed to be good broodmares.",
"Testimonies of tangled manes were collected by farmers in Upper Brittany right up to the beginning of the 20th century.",
"Exorcism sessions were carried out, but were poorly accepted by the local population, according to this testimony collected by Paul Sébillot: \"if you burn the manes with a blessed candle, the goblin never returns, but the animals are, as a result of his departure, exposed to withering away\".Paul Sébillot also relates popular beliefs about several horse lutins that lead travellers astray or drown them, including the Mourioche from Upper Brittany, the maître Jean, the Bugul-noz and the white mare from Bruz.",
"In Spézet, lutins appear near a cross and send harnessed horses into a frenzy."

"On the island of Molène, where paganism has long been very present, the moon was nicknamed the \"white mare\" until the early 20th century.The cart of Ankou, the personification of death in Lower Brittany, is pulled by one or more pale-white, silent, arrow-tied horses.",
"They are sometimes described as skinny and gaunt, and sometimes the carriage includes one skinny and one fat horse.",
"The description of the whole has its origins in peasant traditions, with the symbolic association of the color white with animals from the Celtic Other World.",
"The last vision that the peasant has (especially in Trégor and Léon) is that which relates to his own existence.",
"There is an analogy between the different gaits of the horse in reality and in Breton tradition.",
"The Ankou horse walks at a walk, like the one that pulls the hearses.",
"The traveling horse trots, and the Devil's horse gallops.Horse racing is also present in the golden legend of Saint Guénolé, where Fracan and Riwalon measure their mounts.",
"The popular song ''Marzhin barzh'' (bard Merlin) also celebrates horse racing:+''Marzhin barzh''''', in Breton'''English translationE ebeul ruz en deus sternetGant direnn-flamm 'neus hen houarnetUr c'habestr 'neus lakaet 'n e bennHag un dorchenn skañv war e geinE kerc'henn e c'houg ur walennHag en-dro d'e lost ur seizennHa war e c'horre 'mañ pignetHag er fest nevez degouezhetE park ar fest pa oa degoue'etOa ar gern-bual o vonetHag an holl dud en ur bagadHag an holl virc'hed o lampat« An hini en devo treuzetKleun bras park ar fest en ur redEn ul lamm klok, distak, ha naet,Merc'h ar Rou' en do da bried »E ebeulig ruz, pa glevas,War-bouez e benn a c'hristilhasLammat a reas, ha kounnariñ,Ha teurel c'hwezh tan gant e friHa luc'hed gant e zaoulagadHa darc'h en douar gant e droadKen a oa ar re all trec'hetHag ar c'hleun treuzet en ur red« Aotroù Roue, 'vel peus touet,Ho merc'h Linor renkan kaouet »He outfitted his red coltHe shod him in polished steelHe bridled him,And threw a light cover over his back.He tied a ring to his collar,And a ribbon on his tail.And mounted him,And arrived at the new feast;As he came to the feast field,The horns blew.The crowd was in a hurry,And every horse leaped.",
"\"He who shall gallopThe great barrier of the festival field at full gallop,In one swift, frank and perfect leap,Shall have for wife the king's daughter\".At these words,His young bay colt whinnied wildly,Leaped and raged,And breathed fire from his nostrils,And flashed lightning from his eyes,And struck the earth with his foot;All the others were overtakenAnd the barrier cleared with a leap.",
"\"Sire, you have sworn,Your daughter Linor must be mine.",
"\"=== Animal of the water ===Cléden-Poher war memorial, associating the horse and the element of water.As storyteller and writer Pierre Dubois reminds us, the fabulous horses of Breton tradition \"reign over the sea\".",
"The name Morvarc'h, an animal from Cornish legends, means \"sea horse\".",
"An equivalent, a white horse crossing the ocean to escape the waves, can be found in British Cornwall, which shares the same foundation of beliefs: the association between the horse and the sea is common to all Celtic countries.",
"In the vita of Saint Malo (a Breton bishop), seeing his servant tied up and ready to be swallowed by the sea, the saint straddles his horse, frees him and leaves the animal in its place.Émile Souvestre collects the tale of Jean Rouge-Gorge, where the cow Mor-Vyoc'h (sea cow) changes into a horse and is named Marc'h-Mor (sea horse).",
"Three mares, aspects of the waves (Ar Gazek Wenn (the white mare), Ar Gazek Klañv (the sick mare, which designates the stormy sea like the previous one) and Ar Gazek Ch'laz, regulate the tides and calm the swell according to the beliefs of Trégor at the end of the 19th century.",
"\"The blue horse\" (Ar Marc'h Glas) is a common Breton nickname for the calm sea.",
"A blue mare is said to lead the fish near Batz Island.",
"Breton speakers also use kezeg-mor (sea horses, equivalent to Gaelic capall na mara) to refer to waves, or Ar marc'h hep kavalier (riderless horse) and Ar mar'c hep e vestr (horse without its master), for a succession of rolling waves.",
"In the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, a local legend has it that a horse that sees the sea rushes in and disappears into the open sea, never to return.The theme of water is sometimes mixed with fantasy.",
"In Boqueho, legend has it that in the moonlight, horses come to drink from the stream near the Kergoff menhir, making a lot of noise, but without anyone being able to see them.",
"In one tale, the horses turn into a fountain just as a magician's daughter flees with her lover.",
"In Plouguenast, a \"drowning horse\" stretches out his back to take four or five children and throw them into a pond.",
"There are also tales of drowned horses, notably in the legend of Saint Rou, who fell into a fountain in the forest of Rennes.",
"The horse's neighs of distress can still be heard.In the Barzaz Breiz, recounted by Théodore Hersart de la Villemarqué, the horse is both a symbol of war and a symbol of water, as witnessed by the bard Gwenc'hlan in his prophecy comparing the king to the sea horse (a creature quite similar to the unicorn, with silver horns):+''Diougan Gwenc'hlan''The prophecy of Gwenc'hlan, English translationMe wel ar morvarc'h énep tont,Ken a gren ann aot gand ar spont.Dalc'h mat ta, dalc'h mat ta, morvarc'h;Darc'b gand hé benn, darc'h mat ta, darc'hI see the sea horse come to meet himAnd shake the shore with terrorHold tight!",
"Hold on tight, sea horseHit him on the head, hit him hard, hit him!",
"\"=== Fairy tales ===Illustration of the tale \"La Houle du Châtelet\" in Paul Sébillot's ''Contes de Terre et de Mer'', 1883.In fairy tales, the horse generally plays the role of a hero's magical protector.",
"This is the case in ''Trégont-à-Baris'', collected by Luzel.",
"In ''Domestique chez le Diable'', the horse is a guest in the realm of the dead.",
"In ''Les Quatorze Juments'', also entitled Le cheval du Monde, Riwall seeks to obtain the largest and most powerful horse in the world.",
"The closely related ''L'Homme-cheval'' (collected by Paul-Yves Sébillot) and ''L'homme-poulain'' (Luzel) recount the trials and tribulations of a young man (changed into a horse by a fairy, and born with the head of a foal, respectively) seeking to marry.The animal also features prominently in a number of other tales, such as ''Louizik''.",
"In Upper Brittany, Albert Poulain recounts the story of a marvellous horse who appears in the evening: \"We put a coin in his ear, we rode him, and he went to the stream\"; that of the little red horse; and that of the \"horse who knelt\".",
"In ''La Gwrac'h de l'île du loch'' (Luzel's version) or ''La Groac'h de l'île du loch'' (Souvestre's version), the heroine Bellah Postic saves Houarn Pogann by crossing the sea on the back of a mystical horse that turns into a bird.",
"Souvestre's tale involves a magic stick that becomes a \"red bidet of Saint Trégonnec\", and flies thanks to an incantation: === Morvarc'h and King Marc'h ===Évariste-Vital Luminais, circa 1884, ''Musée des beaux-arts de Quimper''.",
"The horse on the right is supposed to be Morvarc'h.Morvarc'h is a fantastic horse capable of galloping across the waves.",
"He is described as wearing a black coat, and Charles Guyot's book reports that he exhales flames from his nostrils when galloping.",
"He appears in two tales written at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the next: that of the town of Ys with King Gradlon, and an oral tale about King Marc'h of Cornouaille, collected by Yann ar Floc'h in the Aulne valley.",
"According to Pierre-Jakez Hélias, Pouldreuzic's toponym comes from the foot of Morvarc'h, who is said to have washed ashore after the submergence of Ys.King Marc'h is present in both medieval texts and recent oral traditions.",
"He is a king of Armorique, whose unique feature is that he has horse ears.",
"Marc'h kills his mount by mistake, aiming his bow at a white doe.",
"The beast is protected by Dahud and the arrow turns back, killing Morvarc'h.",
"In retaliation, the fairy-siren grows Morvarc'h's ears and mane on Marc'h's head.",
"The king tries to hide this deformity.",
"He calls in barbers to shave off his abundant mane, and then kills them, until one is left, who finally divulges the secret by digging a hole in the ground, where reed later grows and the first biniou is made.",
"According to Bernard Sergent, the story of King Marc'h presents an important parallel with that of Eochaid in Ireland, another horse-eared king who makes all the barbers who shave him disappear, and finds himself at the origin of a musical instrument.",
"The horse-eared king is certainly a common Celtic motif.",
"According to Gaël Milin, the horse ears with which he is adorned in the Breton story featuring Morvarc'h are not a mark of shame, but proof of his sovereign legitimacy, a symbolism shared in all Celtic countries.=== Mallet horse ===Although this legend is mostly to be found in Poitou, there are attestations of the Mallet horse in historic Brittany, around the Lac de Grand-Lieu and throughout the Pays de Retz.",
"This horse is said to ride at night.",
"White, he looks ordinary when peasants and travelers come across him along the way.",
"But he tempts them by offering to saddle up, or forces them to do so.",
"When they're on his back, the Mallet horse sets off on a wild ride.",
"The ride always ends with the death of the rider.",
"The \"Mallet horse game\", a medieval festival with a horse-skirt, was organized in the parish of Saint-Lumine-de-Coutais.",
"It was abolished in 1791."

[
"Vocabulary",
"Brittany's two regional languages, Breton and Gallo, include equestrian vocabulary.",
"Due to the existence of numerous dialects within the Breton language itself in Lower Brittany, differences in vocabulary can be observed.",
"For example, words used to command a horse, such as \"forward\", can be pronounced ''heih, hilh, hai, hue, hefu'' or ''dya''.",
"This is not without its problems, as the same word can have several different meanings in ''Lower Brittany''.",
"''Diha'' or ''dia'' signifies \"to the right\" in Léon, while it means \"to the left\" in Trégor and the south of the Pays Vannetais, and \"forward\" in the Bay of Audierne.",
"Voice-trained horses sometimes had difficulty adapting when sold in another region, such as French or Occitan.",
"Some Breton surnames derive from the horse and its importance in Celtic society: ''Gwivarc'h'' (\"warrior worthy of a good horse\"), ''Gwionvarc'h'' and its variants (Guyonvarc'h, etc.",
"), or ''Glevarc'heg'' (\"valiant knight\").+English nameBreton or Gallo name Stallion''Marc'h''Uncastrated''Kalloc'h''Mare''Kazeg''Foal''Ebeul''Bay''Gell''''Yell''Chestnut''Rouan''Roan''Rouan'' (gl)''Sklaer'' (br)Strawberry roan''Pechar''''Pinchar''Buckskin''Rous''Chestnut with flaxen genes''Brun'' (gl) ''Dewet'' (br)"

"Toponyms and coats of arms",
"Roll of arms of Crac'h, Morbihan.Toponyms based on the words marc'h (Breton for \"horse\") and cabal (Latin for \"horse\") are numerous in south-western Finistère, corresponding to Cornouaille, particularly in Ménez Hom.",
"The presence of the horse here is not only toponymic, but also manifest in art and traces of veneration of saints or equestrian divinities.A number of toponyms between Douarnenez and the island of Ouessant are named after the mare.",
"The Bigouden region bore the Latin name of ''Cap Caval''.",
"For Léon Fleuriot, these toponyms don't necessarily derive from the animal, as there is confusion with King Marc'h, whose stories and traditions come from the same geographical area.",
"Thus, ''Plomarc'h'' (the port of Marc'h), ''Lostmarc'h'' (\"horse island\" according to Fleuriot, or \"the horse's tail\" according to Kervella) and ''Penmarch'' (literally \"horse's head\" in Breton, which can be understood as \"King Marc'h's head\" or \"King Marc'h's promontory\") owe their name to this horse-eared king, by assimilation between the first name Marc and the common name ''marc'h''.",
"Throughout Brittany, white stones bear the name gazek-vaen, \"stone mares\", the most famous of which is in Locronan.",
"They were reputed to cure sterility.Among the Breton nobility, the Gouvello family has adopted equestrian figures on its roll of arms: Argent, an iron of mule Gules between three spur rols of the same.",
"Among the armorial bearings of the various communes, the horse and equestrian elements are especially present in Lower Brittany, corresponding to the department of Finistère: Brasparts (a horse's head Argent), Guissény, Plounéventer, Penmarc'h (a horse's head erased Gules, among other elements), Argol (King Gradlon on his mount), Plougonvelin (a sea-horse), Gouesnou (a white horse as support), or Saint-Renan (D'or au cheval gai de sable), Saint-Ségal (a horse Argent) and Tréméoc.",
"In Morbihan, there's Crac'h (a golden horse's head), Merlevenez (Templiers on horseback) and Saint-Martin-sur-Oust (Saint Martin on horseback).",
"In Ille-et-Vilaine, Plerguer (azure, a prancing horse argent), Lécousse (Saint Martin on horseback) and Saint-Georges-de-Reintembault (Saint Georges on horseback).",
"In the Côtes-d'Armor region, the communes of Trémeur, and Hénanbihen (a mare and her foal, among other elements) feature the animal on their coats of arms.",
"Of the Loire-Atlantique communes, none has a horse on its roll of arms."

"Arts",
"=== Illustrations, paintings and sculptures ===Breton painter Olivier Perrin was the first to depict the traditional cavalcade that accompanied Breton weddings in the 19th century.",
"His paintings provide a valuable insight into what preceded Breton weddings.",
"==== Gallo-Roman ====The Gallo-Roman sculptural group known as \"du cavalier à l'anguipède\" (representing a Jupiterian cavalier god overcoming a snake-tailed giant) is very common in western Armorique, with three works recorded near Quimper and one in Plouaret.",
"The theme is known throughout the Roman Empire.",
"These sculptures were probably intended to protect rich agricultural estates, and bear witness to Roman influence.A small Cornish building from the Roman period, featuring a bridled horse's head and the god Pan, hints at an important symbolism of fertility and fecundity for the animal, attested elsewhere in the Roman Empire and in Ireland.",
"This symbolism has endured in the region, as today the Gazek Vaen (stone mare) is still associated with female fertility.",
"The ''Musée des Beaux-Arts'' in Quimper preserves a male head with horse ears, certainly influenced by the legend of King Marc'h.==== Christians ====evangelists, including St. Mark with a horse's head (top right) - Landévennec Evangeliary, Bodleian Library.The confusion between the first name Marc and the name of the horse in Breton (marc'h) may have prompted Breton monk illuminators to depict Mark the Evangelist with a horse's head (instead of the usual lion's head) in several miniatures from the Gospel of the Saint, produced at Landévennec Abbey.",
"However, this theory is not universally accepted.=== Numismatics ===Celtic coins often feature horses, and the Venetes, Namnetes, Coriosolites and Riedones created coins with chariots, as well as naked riding goddesses.",
"A Venetes coin from the late 1st century B.C.",
"features an charioteer on a chariot, pulled by an anthropomorphic horse with a human head, flying over a winged monster.",
"It could be a kind of logo, originating in an important memorial date for the Venetians, probably that of an equinox, and linked to the sculptural group of the rider with the anguiped.",
"The figure of the horse with a human head is unique in Armorica, suggesting a possible error by the engraver.=== Literature and cinema ===In 1975, Pierre-Jakez Hélias published ''The Horse of Pride'', a largely autobiographical book.",
"It describes the life of a poor family of Bigouden farmers in Pouldreuzic, shortly after the First World War.",
"Pierre-Alain meets Anne-Marie; he works as a farm hand, looking after the horses.",
"Pierre-Jacques, known as \"Petit Pierre\", is raised by his grandfather Alain, who teaches him that \"it's pride you ride when you don't have a horse\".",
"The book was a great success, and led to a controversy with Xavier Grall, who accused Hélias of presenting a backward-looking image of Brittany.",
"Grall replied in Le Cheval couché.",
"The book was made into a film in 1980, by director Claude Chabrol.André Le Ruyet's ''Morvarc'h, cheval de mer'', published in 1999, recounts the discovery of Celtic legends by Philippe, a Parisian.",
"He meets a shepherd near the roc'h Trezenel and embarks on a journey of initiation in the company of the sea horse Morvarc'h."
