Dassault Mercure
The Dassault Mercure was a twin-engined narrow-body jet-powered airliner developed and manufactured by French aircraft firm Dassault Aviation. According to Dassault, it was the first large-scale European cooperative civil aeronautics programme. During 1967, the Mercure was proposed as a French competitor to the American Boeing 737. It was Dassault's first venture into the commercial jet airliner market, the company having traditionally built fighters and executive jets. On 28 May 1971, the prototype conducted its maiden flight, while the type entered service on 4 June 1974 with French airline Air Inter. Attempts were made to market the type in the US, including partnerships with American manufacturers Douglas, Lockheed and General Dynamics, with the vision of producing it in the United States. However, the Mercure had very little success on the market, which has been attributed to several factors, including a lack of range in comparison to rival aircraft. As a consequence, t ...

Mercure (ballet)
''Mercure'' (''Mercury'', or ''The Adventures of Mercury'') is a 1924 ballet with music by Erik Satie. The original décor and costumes were designed by Pablo Picasso and the choreography was by Léonide Massine, who also danced the title role. Subtitled "Plastic Poses in Three Tableaux", it was an important link between Picasso's Neoclassical and Surrealist phases and has been described as a "painter's ballet". ''Mercure'' was commissioned by the Soirées de Paris stage company and first performed at the Théâtre de la Cigale in Paris on June 15, 1924. The conductor was Roger Désormière. Background The Soirées de Paris was a short-lived attempt by Count Étienne de Beaumont (1883–1956) – socialite, balletomane, and patron of the arts – to rival Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes as an arbiter of Modernism in French theatre.John Richardson, ''A Life of Picasso: The Triumphant Years, 1917-1932'', Alfred A.

Mercure (novel)
''Mercure'' is a Belgian novel by Amélie Nothomb. It was first published in 1998. Plot The novel is set on the island of Mortes-Frontières, whose name (literally meaning "Dead Borders") is aptly chosen to reflect its ominous, isolated nature. Shrouded in secrecy and tightly controlled by the authoritarian Captain O. Loncours and his men, the island enforces strict surveillance and harsh treatment of outsiders. Françoise, a young nurse, is summoned to this strange place to care for Hazel, a young woman who has been monstrously disfigured by a bombing. Upon arrival, Françoise discovers a bizarre house where all reflective objects—mirrors, spoons, anything capable of showing a reflection—have been removed. The inhabitants of the island are suspicious and unwelcoming, and newcomers are subjected to thorough and merciless searches. Once inside the house, Françoise learns that she must tend to Hazel without ever asking a single question, under penalty of death. This strict ru ...

R V Mercure
''R v Mercure'' was a ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1988, dealing with language rights in the province of Saskatchewan.''R v Mercure'', 9881 SCR 234. The appellant demanded the right to a statutory provision in Saskatchewan governing a speeding ticket be expressed in French as well as the right to have a trial conducted in French. English and French are both considered official languages in Canada. Lower courts had denied him this right, so he sought appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. However, the appellant died before the Supreme Court could hear his appeal. The Court exercised its discretion to hear the appeal notwithstanding its mootness because the case not only raised an important legal issue but satisfied the other criteria for the hearing of a moot appeal, including the continued existence of a proper adversarial context. The Supreme Court ruled that language rights enjoyed an almost constitutional status and could only be repealed by a 'clear legislati ...
