In 1862, a trading port was opened in Danshuei. In the meantime, the resources in the mountain area near Dasi were rapidly exploited and tea and camphor became the main exporting products. Furthermore, city streets including Sin Street, Caodianwei Street and Houwei Street were developed at the same time. In 1886, Mingchuan Liu established an administration office to undertake full responsibility for development which boosted the prosperity of Dasi street region and gave birth to Sinnan Street (now Jhongshan Road).
The early years of the colonial rule of Taiwan were the prime time of Dasi. In those years, the resources near the mountain region continued to be exploited and the life in the stores and wine houses on the streets of Dasi was hurly-burly. A city restructuring plan to expand roads and add arcades was announced in 1912 and therefore splendidly decorated archways mushroomed one by one.
As the excavation of Taoyuan Ditch in 1928 had quite an impact on the river transport of Dahan Stream, Dasi lost its position as an industry center and ceased to develop. Accordingly, to date Dasi old streets have been able to remain as they were in the old days.

Pascal et Genevieve vendent les légumes bio sure les marchés de Prades le mardi et le samedi matin.
Market gardening. Under the auspices of the University Populaire of the Conflent we visited this one hectare organic small holding in Conat.
Mrs and Mrs run it unaided. It's a tough and labour intensive way to make a living. The soil is fairly poor, 60% stones and only some 30cm ( 12 inches say) deep.
Apart from the carrots, beans and radishes most everything is grown on in a green house and then planted out by hand through plastic. Pascal reckons on getting through one 50kg roll of black plastic a year for the courgettes, onions, leeks, tomatoes.
The saving grace is virtually unlimited water supply pumped up from the river.
John Aspinall’s exploits as a gambling club host are well documented, and not the subject of my post, just to mention that gambling was the source of his fortune that enabled him to invest in his hobby of keeping exotic animals.
John, known to all his friends as 'Aspers', was born in Delhi, India, on 11 June 1926, the son of Dr Robert Stavali Aspinall, a British Army surgeon. He used gambling to move to the centre of British high society in the 1960s, founding the Clermont Club in London's Mayfair in 1962. It has been claimed that some of the wealthiest people in Britain were swindled out of millions of pounds, thanks to a gambling con known as 'the Big Edge'
With his first wins he bought a flat in Belgravia and built an enclosure in the garden for a tiger, bought from Harrods of all places when only nine weeks old, plus two bears and a capuchin monkey. In time, he would take Tara, his tiger, with him to his London club, at which no gentleman would blink an eye. Those gentlemen included Lord Lucan, a close friend and all-too-often losing gambler, who in 1974 murdered his children's nanny and disappeared.
He purchased his new home, Howletts, a Palladian mansion standing in 70 acres following a substantial win in 1958, in order to house his collection of animals. He opened the Park to the public in 1975. Port Lympne was purchased in 1973 to house his growing collection and opened to the public in 1976.
But his method of keeping wild animals was unorthodox. He insisted on close social contact between his keepers and the animals in their care, believing that this and the development of a bond of affection and trust was crucial to animal welfare. He believed, and taught his children, that "Bonding" begins early in the animal's life, in the hope that it would be carried on to adulthood, allowing the keepers to check for signs of injury, illness or pregnancy, and reducing the occasions on which the animals may have to be immobilised or anaesthetised, routine practice in other zoos.
Aspinall said that his methods were also intended to give the keepers an insight into the individual personalities and social relationships of their animals and provide emotional and intellectual stimulation for the animals. To this end, keepers regularly entered the cages of large and potentially dangerous animals such as gorillas, elephants and tigers. John himself would enter the enclosures and play with the animals, sometimes taking his children or grandchildren with him. I saw him with his gorillas on more than one occasion.
There can be little doubt that John liked animals more than people. He railed against overpopulation as he feared threatened animals would soon have nowhere to go. "The extinction of animals and plant species and the depletion of non-renewable resources are irremediable crimes” he said, and he was right of course.

Manifestation du 8 mars
«Un mur de militantes contre l’exploitation des sables bitumineux
À l’occasion de la journée de la femme, dimanche, une centaine de militantes féministes ont bloqué quelques minutes l’accès à la raffinerie Suncor de Montréal-Est, afin de manifester contre les sables bitumineux et l’industrie pétrolière. La Fédération des femmes du Québec (FFQ) estime qu’il est du devoir des militantes féministes de se faire entendre sur ces questions. La présidente de l’organisation, Alexa Conradi, affirme que les féministes ont une «conscience sociale citoyenne» et que leurs préoccupations dépassent le «simple droit des femmes».
Cette action a eu lieu quelques heures avant la tenue d'une importante marche qui a rassemblé plus de 1000 manifestants féministes, au centre-ville de Montréal. Cet évènement donne le coup d’envoi à une série d’actions qui seront menées par des militantes féministes au Québec jusqu’à l’automne.
Les droits des femmes sont bafoués par l’essor de l’industrie pétrolière, selon Mme Conradi, qui cite en exemple l’accroissement de la prostitution et de la violence contre les femmes en marge des grands projets énergétiques. L’entreprise Suncor constitue un symbole, a soutenu Mme Conradi, lors d’un entretien avec La Presse Canadienne.
«Suncor raffine le pétrole des sables bitumineux, l’un des plus sale au monde. En plus, ce pétrole dépossède les Autochtones de leurs territoires et son exploitation s’accompagne souvent d’une augmentation de la violence contre les femmes», a-t-elle dit. Les décideurs politiques et les grandes sociétés pétrolières doivent réfléchir aux contre-coups des projets pétroliers pour être en mesure d’au moins offrir des solutions, par exemple en matière de sécurité des femmes, selon la présidente de la FFQ.
Inspirées par la Colombie-Britannique
Le «mur de femmes» qui a été formé à l’entrée de Suncor s’inspire d’une action similaire qui avait été menée en Colombie-Britannique en 2014 par des femmes autochtones. La Fédération des femmes du Québec n’a pas la «prétention» de parler au nom de toutes les femmes du Québec, insiste Mme Conradi.
«On a la prétention de parler au nom de celles qui se mobilise dans le cadre de la Marche mondiale des femmes. Elles disent que le capitalisme actuel accroît les inégalités sociales et défavorise les femmes. Comme féministe on pense qu’on peut faire mieux», a-t-elle soutenu. La présidente de la Fédération des femmes du Québec n’était pas en mesure dimanche de dire combien de personnes sont représentées par son organisation ou participe à ses consultations. Lors d’un rassemblement en 2010, il y avait 10 000 femmes présentes à Rimouski, a-t-elle simplement indiqué.
Jusqu’au 17 octobre, la Coalition montréalaise de la Marche mondiale des femmes mènera ses actions sous le thème «Libérons nos corps, notre Terre et nos territoires». Elle veut alors se faire entendre pour «faire connaître le rôle joué par la société, le système économique et l’État dans la dépossession du corps des femmes, de la Terre et des territoires», a-t-elle fait savoir par voie de communiqué.
Le Service de police de Montréal a déployé certains policiers à proximité de la raffinerie Suncor, mais ses agents n’ont pas eu à intervenir pendant la manifestation.»
