The ball of the Society of Men Gras in New York, February 1877

To wait until the update this week which will come later today or tomorrow (Sunday, 30 January), a brief sympathetic:

Here is a verbatim transcript of a brief article from the newspaper Le Canadien , February 26, 1877, p. 2:

FAT MEN - The annual ball of the Company of Men Gras in New York in recent days, in Irving Hall, did not begin with his usual enthusiasm. Several members, by performing the compulsory weighing above the ball, had found that their weight has decreased since last year. Away on a cloud of sadness many fronts. Mr. Samuel McGraw, particularly, seemed inconsolable. It weighs only 327 pounds. Forty pounds lost in one year! However, when the music gave the signal to walk, and that fat men, each with a fat lady on his arm, began to march, waddling, fronts were a little cheered. A little later, a quadrille of the Lancers provided the most agile dancers of both sexes with opportunities to distinguish who brought good humor, and when we sat down at midnight and a half before the tables laden with food plump all faces were fulfilled.

Aquaculture, compatible with Natura 2000 at sea?

Aquaculture compatible with Natura 2000 at sea?

In a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union on January 19, 2011, the Economic and Social Committee (EESC) asks the Commission to make an effort to explain about the main standards of environmental protection, in particular the Natura 2000 network, showing its interrelationship and compatibility with aquaculture ....

Since 1992, the European ecological network Natura 2000 weaves his web of biodiversity on land and at sea A plant, insect, bird, mammal or a fish is threatened ... Natura 2000 defines a protection zone around the species from endangered ... In France, Natura 2000 covers nearly 20% of metropolitan land, several million hectares of wetlands, mountains and forests.

Currently, Natura 2000 covers only a few "islands" at sea, however, the map of France's government portal: Natura 2000, already includes large coastal territories within the Natura 2000 network. For example: The presence of the last European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) in the waters charento-Gironde explains largely the creation of the largest protected area of the hexagon: Marine Natural Park Perth Charente and the Gironde estuary.

"Biodiversity is an asset to our territories

Natura 2000 represents a real challenge for sustainable development of rural remarkable in that it reconciles biodiversity conservation and maintenance of human activities in the context of a discussion led by all local those involved in the life of the site. Natura 2000 is not a museum where life is frozen, the postcard of a wilderness where man is merely a spectator. Quite the contrary, Natura 2000 is characterized by the desire to live a protected nature and human activities respectful and responsible.

This orientation is reflected by the participation of users in the management and development of their territory. Biodiversity is thus an asset for promoting the development of socio-economic activities such as ecotourism, the creation of local products as those who eat our food culture, educational activities, sports, community and craft. Above all, a Natura 2000 provides each of its residents the opportunity to achieve unparalleled quality of life. "

Natura 2000. A new obstacle for running

Lu in The Telegram January 25, 2010

The world holds its breath the trail. A regional decree will force the organizers of races in a Natura 2000 area to achieve an assessment of environmental impacts. Hard times for the trail?

Not a weekend without trail. In Britain, trail running with the wind in their sails. Practitioners and enthusiasts. In stride, joggers leave the asphalt paths less traveled: the woods, coast, beach, steep paths ... Nothing seems to stop them. Except perhaps the law. Responding to a condemnation of the European Court of Justice in March 2010, France is preparing to deploy, quick prefectural, a more drastic, requiring environmental impact assessment for all events organized on a Natura 2000. Clearly, the racing nature, provided to gather 1,000 people (participant, organizer, public), must show their credentials. And demonstrate their lack of damage to fauna and flora. How? By delivering turnkey services prefecture, an impact assessment with uncertain results. A real revolution for volunteers face overnight in the bush of environmental regulations. Already approved by the Finistère and Morbihan, "the decree will apply from March," says Philip Arnold, of the Regional Environmental Planning and Housing (DREAL), to establish criteria for regional implementation. ...

Natura 2000 at sea opposite to the professional activities

Example: aquaculture, compatible with Natura 2000?

Elected officials of the Economic and Social Committee (EESC) reiterate their concern that they had already expressed a view on the 2003 strategy, given the dwindling competitiveness of aquaculture in the EU, due to an inappropriate regulatory framework. It is burdened by regulations without the need of various kinds, causing additional difficulties in the development sector ...

the EESC, European aquaculture must take the path of sustainable growth, enabling it to meet the demand in products aquatic origin nutritious, healthy and safe. Its proper development could serve as a springboard to socio-economic areas where it is located and it will increase the supply of stable and quality, helping to keep people in the area.

For the EESC, since the occupation of more and more important coastal areas, should encourage the search for synergies between the activities compatible, including the protection of the environment. The scarcity of space allocated to aquaculture is one of the main reasons for the current stagnation of this activity in the EU. The EESC recommends to improve and streamline procedures for issuing permits and authorizations to fish farms, as well as simpler and more flexible approaches in order to shorten the time of award ....

The EESC aquaculture that produces quality food in aquatic environments, is compatible with environmental protection, one priorities of the EU. This protection should not prevent him from carrying out activities that may be consistent with it. The European Commission must make an effort to explain the main standards of environmental protection, in particular the Natura 2000 network, showing its interrelationship and compatibility with aquaculture ....

Fish bio: The aquaculture industry is sowing confusion among consumers!

Organic Fish: The aquaculture industry is sowing confusion among consumers!

wave bio affects all food sectors, let alone other aquatic products. The market for organic fish (AB) has even experienced one of the biggest gains over the past three years (1). However, it should not be the aquaculture industry that is organic in this dynamic fishing industry, creating confusion among consumers with a contrasting bias from organically farmed fish and wild fish from fishing!

Examples

Wild fish, polluted? "

• Bioaddict: Wild fish are not organic!

"All wild fish are not yet, fortunately, polluted. But in practice how to tell if those we buy or eat, are healthy? Today it is almost impossible to know. The fishing grounds are only rarely identified on the stalls, and almost never at the restaurant. And when the source is specified how to know if the place is polluted or not?

Wild fish is not organic, nor necessarily of quality. ... "

A survey of ultra-fresh fish counter several food shops in the Paris region and in western France, shows that Clients classified as "pure" organic are not automatically reflex organic fish: "66% of buyers choose either certified organic fish and fish caught at sea"

For the reviewers, this result is unacceptable on the part of consumers sorted among the most bio. They even blame these consumers: "So the same customers that set as priorities the concepts related to sustainable development will be predominantly and equally buyers of organic farming and products" wild "caught at sea or whitewater. "

One of the conclusions of the investigation: "The concept of organic aquaculture fish is little known and not so spontaneous bearer of value in itself. We'll have to communicate, explain and convince. "

The comparison between wild fish and organic fish is no longer any reason to be because the fish and shrimp are certified organic neither more nor less than fish and shrimp aquaculture from a rational or improved against the excesses of industrial aquaculture conventional

consumption. Wild fish is always popular (The Telegram)

What new habits of consumers of Sea? To help professionals adapt, a study called Cogépêche was presented in 2010 in Lorient.

Women want more fresh and not frozen. Men attach more importance to lean fish. The consumption of seafood is sexual it is one of many findings in a wink identified by the team of pole fishing Agrocampus West, who presented the study yesterday in Lorient that she carried the expectations and needs of consumers of seafood in the various distribution channels. A study of the project Cogépêche designed to help companies adapt to new market conditions. The consumption of seafood tends to stagnate now, after a sharp rise seen over the past ten years (10 kg of seafood per capita entre1993 et2004).

brake consumption - Cogépêche In this study, the ideal fish for the consumer is still wild. With particular reference to low-fat fish. However, the consumer is totally resistant to the words "fish rich in omega 3." The whole fresh fish is scorned as being too laborious to prepare, in favor of prepackaged products. A purchase modulated by age. The study highlights a lack of knowledge of fish species and different ways of cooking. This allows the salmon, shrimp and cod to be the stars of the stalls. This ignorance is seen as a brake on consumption. Originally

Of John Gilmour Gilmour Hill

Small note: next Wednesday, January 26, 2011, I will be the guest of the radio program "Hello 275 on the airwaves of Radio-Canada . In fact, I will answer questions from listeners about the history of Quebec City. Talk to your children 6 to 12 years and enjoy!

In fall 2010, Quebec City Mayor Régis Labeaume, expressed the hope that Gilmour Hill should be open year round. This statement was quick to dive into some commentators sometimes heated debate, including urban sprawl, transit, environment, user safety and even the sovereignty of the city on federal park. This week, the site of Cyberpresse.ca reported that the Commission on National Battlefields announced that a study had been commissioned to show the viability of such a project. But before celebrating its opening winter or not, trying to discover a little history of this artery.

Coast Gilmour is named in honor of Scottish timber merchant John Gilmour. Born in 1812 he arrived in Quebec around 1832. John is a member of the large extended family that Gilmour moved around what is now New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario in the early 19th century to take an important part in the timber trade. At Quebec (including his brother David) Gilmour's empire is thriving. They operate mainly from the banks of the Anse-aux-Fullers (above), overlooked by the luxurious residence of John, the Marchmont area , located at the top of the current Gilmour Hill. Their empire sink from the mid-1860s or early 1870s along with the drastic decline of the timber trade in Quebec. John Gilmour sink literally with his empire. Here is an excerpt from the newspaper Le Canadien of 28 February 1877, p. 2:

'disappearance - a telegram from Montreal tells us that it has serious concerns about Mr. John Gilmour, the city disappeared for several days. He had been called to Montreal to settle some cases, a man named [Thomas] McDuff had scrambled nicely. Mr. Gilmour had been greatly afflicted with the infidelity of the man in whom he placed all his confidence. He left the St. Lawrence Hall and his hotel has not been back since. It was found intact his luggage - where did he go. ? Nobody knows? It is believed Mr. Gilmour moved to England. A reward of $ 500.00 is offered to anyone providing information. "

The body of John Gilmour will be found in the late spring of that year under the ice of the port of Montreal. Gilmour's name is synonymous with great wealth of timber merchants on the banks of the river during the heyday of the timber trade in Quebec, the first half of the nineteenth century.

But what is the coast Gilmour, it was not until the very end of the nineteenth century that the road to Anse-aux-Fullers take this name. Thus, it traces the history of this road up during the French regime. It is a path which borrowed a plot located in the same section of Cape Diamond that soldiers from Major General James Wolfe borrowed the night of 12 to 13 September 1759 and went to the Plains of Abraham, giving the name of Wolfe's Cove Hill this coast (Wolfe's cove is also the name given to the Anse-aux-Fullers at the beginning of British rule). It would also have called Marchmont Hill in honor of the residence of John Gilmour. Gilmour Hill will be redeveloped (above) as part of major public works initiated after the Great Depression.

In 1947, the Commission on National Battlefields (created in 1908 to administer the city park formed by including the Plains of Abraham, the legacy of the federal government to mark the 300th anniversary of Quebec) gets the coastal management Gilmour cities of Sillery and Quebec. Even if NBC was already managing the land around the coast (since 1927) this track was not yet under its jurisdiction. Since then, the east coast used primarily for winter recreation such as skiing and sledding.
