Ball del contrapàs in Tremp (High Pyrenees, Catalonia).
On the holiday of Sant Antoni Abat (January 17th), patron saint of farmers, Tremp has this tradition. A group of 6 to 12 local farmer men dance the ball del contrapàs in the town square, while a marching band plays the song.
The dance starts with one farmer placing an image of Saint Anthony and blessing it, and then he starts to dance. He dances alone in front of the saint's image for about a minute, until he takes off his hat and bows, and then he starts moving in circles in the square. Then, he takes a lit torch and delimits the space they will use in square. By pairs, the others join the dance, holding each other by the belt. The last one to join wears a tail made of paper, that the man who started the dance will burn towards the end. In the end, the man chosen in the previous year's holiday goes in front of the image and bows, thanking the saint for last year's harvest and asking that this year it will be as good or even better.
Nowadays, the dance is done 4 or 5 times. Each time that the farmers try to burn the paper tail but can't manage, they go to drink a little glass of wine, and they repeat until they manage to burn it. When they make it, the song changes and there's a round of applause. Then, every farmer bows in front of the saint individually, taking off their hats.
It also seems that nowadays they can use a firecracker instead of a paper tail.
The people from the town gather in the square to watch the dance. They share biscuits/cookies and wine for the duration of the dance.

Another #paleostream sketch!
Abditosaurus, the first non-avian dinosaur that was described this year. A large sauropod from Spain, with fossils known for more than 50 years, was finally published this year. It is known from a locality that also bears numerous remains of dinosaur eggs, suggesting that this might have been a nesting site.

Saint-Just's letter to Camille Desmoulins in (May?) 1790
He mentions the Assemblée de Chauny, which took place in May 1790 according to this site.
ORIGINAL FRENCH
Monsieur,
Si vous étiez moins occupé, j'entrerais dans quelques détails sur l'Assemblée de Chauny, où se sont trouvés des hommes de toutes trempes et de tout calibre. Malgré ma minorité, j'ai été reçu. Le sieur Gellé, notre confrère au bailliage de Vermandois, m'avait dénoncé. On l'a chassé par les épaules. Nous avons vu là vos compatriotes MM. Saulce, Violette et autres, dont j'ai reçu beaucoup de politesse. Il est inutile de vous dire (car vous n'aimez pas la sotte louange) que votre pays s'enorgueillit de vous.
Vous avez su avant moi que le département était définitivement à Laon. Est-ce un bien, est-ce un mal pour l'une ou l'autre ville ? Il me semble que ce n'est qu'un point d'honneur entre les deux villes, et les points d'honneur sont très peu de chose presqu'en tout genre.
Je suis monté à la tribune, j'ai travaillé dans le dessein de porter le jour dans la question du chef-lieu : mais je ne suivis rien ; je suis parti chargé de compliments comme l'âne de reliques, ayant cependant cette confiance qu'à la prochaine législature je pourrai être des vôtres à l'Assemblée nationale.
Vous m'aviez promis de m'écrire, mais je prévois bien que vous n'en aurez pas eu le loisir. Je suis libre à l'heure qu’il est. Retournerai-je auprès de vous ou resterai-je parmi les sots aristocrates de ce pays-ci ?
Les paysans de mon canton étaient venus, alors de mon retour de Chauny, me chercher à Manicamp. Le comte de Lauraguais fut fort étonné de cette cérémonie rusti-patriotique. Je les conduisis tous chez lui pour le visiter. On nous dit qu'il est aux champs et moi cependant je fis comme Tarquin ; j'avais une baguette avec laquelle je coupai la tête à une fougère qui se trouva près de moi, sous les fenêtres du château, et sans mot dire nous fines volte-face.
Adieu, mon cher Desmoulins. Si vous avez besoin de moi, écrivez-moi. Vos derniers numéros sont pleins d'excellentes choses. Apollon et Minerve ne vous ont point encore abandonné, ne vous en déplaise. Si vous avez quelque chose à faire dire à vos gens de Guise, je les reverrai dans les huit jours à Laon où j'irai faire un tour pour affaires particulières.
Adieu encore, gloire, paix, et rage patriotique. Saint-Just.
Je vous lirai ce soir, car je ne vous parle de vos derniers numéros que par ouï-dire.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I found a translation here, which I used as a basis for mine, but there are some mistakes I corrected and I made some stylistic changes.
Monsieur,
If you were less busy, I would give you more details about the Assembly of Chauny, where one can find men of considerable calibre and quality. I was received in spite of my minority. Sieur Gellé, our compatriot from the bailliage of Vermandois had denounced me. He was grabbed by the shoulders and thrown out. We saw your compatriots, M. Saulce, M. Violette and others, by whom I was received with great courtesy. There is no point telling you (because you don't like foolish praise) that your region is proud of you.
You have known before I did that the département is definitely fixed at Laon. Is that good or is that bad for one or other of the towns? It seems to me that it is no more than a point of honour between the two towns and points of honour are of little importance.
I took the tribune; I worked with the intention of carrying the [order of the] day on the question of the chef-lieu: but I did not follow on; I left, weighed down with compliments like the donkey burdened with relics (1), having however the confidence that at the next legislature I could be among you at the National Assembly.
You had promised to write to me, but I can well anticipate that you had no such leisure. I am free as of now. Should I return to you or remain amongst the foolish aristocrats in this part of the country?
The peasants from my canton came, when I returned from Chauny, to look for me at Manicamp. The Comte de Lauraguais was greatly astonished by this rustico-patriotic ceremony. I led them all to his home for a visit. They said that he was out in the fields and I, however, did like Tarquin, I had a cane [baguette (2)] with which I cut off the head of a nearby fern, beneath the windows of the castle, and without a word we left and returned.
Farewell, my dear Desmoulins. If you have need of me, write to me. Your latest issues are full of excellent things. Apollo and Minerva have not yet abandoned you, whether you like it or not. If you have anything to say to your people in Guise, I will be seeing them again within the next eight days in Laon where I will be going for particular matters.
Farewell again, glory, peace and patriotic rage.
Saint-Just
I will read you this evening, since I only tell you about your recent issues from hearsay.
(1) This is a reference to a fable by La Fontaine.
(2) The baguette (direct translation: stick - the word existed before the bread style!) was a very thin cane, very fashionable to carry at the time. You can see some examples here. I'm not sure how he managed to cut a plant with it though... I've never tried to do that lol. So I don't know if it implies it was a sword-cane or if it was thin enough to do it on its own.
He compares his gesture to that of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus who, according to Livy, silently cut off the heads of the tallest poppies as a demonstration to what his son had to do.
(This is, by the way, the scene we see reproduced at the beginning of Saint-Just et la force des choses, and why they changed the fern to poppies - so the allusion would be clearer.)
