Gisela de Suabia (989 o 990-Goslar, 14 de febrero de 1043) fue la hija de Herman II de Suabia y Gerberga de Borgoña. Ambos progenitores descendían de Carlomagno.

Vida
Se casó primero con Bruno I, conde de Brunswick, en 1002. Su segundo matrimonio fue con Ernesto I, duque de Suabia, quien heredó Suabia a través de ella a la muerte del hermano de Gisela, Herman III. Tras su muerte en 1015, se convirtió en regente de su hijo Ernesto II. Entonces le quitaron la regencia basándose en que estaba demasiado estrechamente relacionada con su difunto marido.

Su tercer matrimonio, en 1016 o 1017, fue con Conrado, quien se convertiría en emperador en el año 1027. Aribo, arzobispo de Maguncia se negó a coronarla, porque afirmaba que Gisela y Conrado tenían un parentesco demasiado estrecho. Trece días después de que su esposo fuera coronado, Peregrino, arzobispo de Colonia la coronó a ella como emperatriz de Alemania.

Tuvo parte activa en la política, acudiendo a consejos imperiales y haciendo que su pariente Rodolfo III de Borgoña transfiriera la sucesión de su reino a su esposo. También participó en varios sínodos eclesiásticos.

Cuidó de las hijas de su hermana Matilde, Sofía, condesa de Bar y Beatriz de Bar, que tendrían en el futuro importantes papeles políticos como condesa de Bar y regente de Toscana, respectivamente.

Después de la muerte de Conrado en el año 1039, ella y su hijo Enrique lideraron el cortejo fúnebre.

Gisela murió de disentería en el palacio real de Goslar en 1043. Está enterrada en la cripta de la catedral imperial de Espira, Alemania, junto con varios emperadores y otros miembros de la familia imperial. Cuando su tumba fue abierta se descubrió que el cuerpo momificado de Gisela medía 172 cm de alto, y tenía el pelo largo y rubio.

Descendencia
Con Bruno I de Brunswick tuvo:

Liudolfo, margrave de Frisia (h. 1003-1038)
 otro hijo y dos hijas

Con Ernesto I, duque de Suabia tuvo dos hijos:

Ernesto II, duque de Suabia (h. 1010 - 17 de agosto de 1030)
Herman IV, duque de Suabia (h. 1015 - 28 de julio de 1038)

Con el emperador Conrado II tuvo tres hijos:

Enrique III, sacro emperador romano (28 de octubre de 1017 - 5 de octubre de 1056)
Matilde (1027 - enero de 1034), comprometida con Enrique I de Francia
Beatriz (h. 1030 - 26 de septiembre de 1036)

Miku Hatsune only exists on a literally technical basis. She is one of Crypton's characters in their Vocaloid voice synthesizer program. J-Pop Noise Hijokaidan stlye? It really shouldn't work but it does! Well, frankly, Hijokaidan can do what the hell they like!
This was released on U-Rythmix Records in 2013. The label is the sister of Tsukasa Takahashi's ("shit, why don't I have an indefinite amount of money so I can buy everything that they release") Youth Inc.
Hatsune Kaidan are now a "real" project with at least three releases under that name.
Hatsune-Kaidan
This is what I assume is a bootleg recording. It features two Hatsune Kaidan events and Hijo/Akira laying waste to all around them with live versions of tracks from the Made In Studio album.

Someone, please, explain to me why this became as popular as it did. Okay, aside from the fact it's a mashup of two artists from completely different backgrounds...because we've totally never seen that before... but come on, it's just j-pop songs with inappropriate noise hooks or noise tracks with superfluous, short monologues in japanese. This merger was completely unnecessary and the results are subpar, and yet people eat this shit up. Why? I'd understand if people got excited for it when it was announced, just to listen to it out of curiosity as I did, but there's nothing substantial here, no fathomable reason why anyone would continue to listen after they spot the obvious gimmick. It tries to please j-pop and noise fans and pleases neither- well, it didn't please me, at any rate. Again, there's a few parts that are kind of fascinating, but there's nothing here to suggest it needs to be done again. Why, just, WHY?
badgerstump, 9 November 2014 at 17:14
erm...two artists from completely different backgrounds?
It's Hijokaidan using a vocal synthesizer program...so, erm one set of artists from exactly the same background.
I don't think that it tries to please anybody. Fans of J-Pop would run to the hills!
I'm pleased that you find some parts fascinating but confused that you would take so long to disprove your own argument...
Why, just WHY?

Robyn Beecroft – cozy mystery author
A murdered dancer. An attractive policeman. A tangled mystery.
Newly settled in a quaint small town in the English Fens, Rory Cornwell knows no-one and is too shy to go out and make friends. When a local festival is marred by the murder of a morris dancer, his pretty house-mate Haley is distraught–her uncle is the prime suspect.
Nervously investigating, and smitten by Zach, the attractive policeman on the case, will Rory uncover the true culprit before the wrong person is jailed? And can he untangle the knot of fake dating and misunderstandings between himself and Haley before dreamboat Zach gets away?
Readers' Praise for Murder of a Straw Man
"Robyn Beecroft's book started off strong and engaging and only got better as I rapidly made my way through this page-turner cozy mystery…From page one I knew I was in the hands of a truly skilled writer, who knows the ingredients of great stories and how to mix them together in just the right proportions."
"The characters pop off the page, and the plot nicely keeps you guessing. Just enough romance to keep me happy, and a great treatment of asexuality…Deceptively simple I would say, and full of unexpected pleasures."
"This falls into the class of quirky literary mysteries like those of Edmund Crispin, Gladys Mitchell, and more recently Ellen Seltz, rather than the usual run of cozies. The writing is rich and full of keen observation."
"What a wonderful, creative, compelling and interesting cozy mystery! In all, it's a well-written, visual delight as well as an entertaining tale."
"This book was very interesting and had me hooked from the beginning. I loved the development of the characters, especially Rory, and finding out more about their lives, and why they are who they are…. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series."
"Fresh, engaging protagonists. Skilled character development, and a knack for bringing the scenes alive….. Loved it! Write another 20 please, Robyn!"
A murdered specter. An unwanted suitor. Malice at the Museum.
Halloween approaches and in the ancient capital of the Fens, Haley Thorpe is working as a costumed actor on a ghost tour. When one of the other 'ghosts' is murdered by a cunning device, suspicion falls on Haley—the only one unobserved at the scene.
If that wasn't enough, Sean, the guy her parents think she should marry, is turning into a regular stalker. She doesn't want to date him. She's not sure she wants to date anyone at all, but does she have a choice?
Can she and Rory—her posh house-mate—figure out the real murderer before she gets arrested? And can someone tell Sean that he's not all that before he starts breaking down the door?
Murder of a Working Ghost is a cozy mystery that will appeal to fans of Jeanne M. Dams' Dorothy Martin Mysteries and Ian Thompson's Murder At The Jolly Jester. Readers who enjoy small town mysteries set in England will love this glimpse at the stranger side of village life, because you don't get much more British than spooky goings on in a cathedral town.
Robyn Beecroft is a morris dancing mum of two who lives in the glorious countryside of the Fens (don't call it "bleak", she gets really touchy about that.) Cozy mysteries are her go-to genre for relaxation, and after ten years as a best selling author in other genres she finally wondered why she wasn't writing them too. No cozies set in a village like the one she lives in, about the kinds of hobbies and crafts she loves? It was obviously time to write them herself.

With the release of the Secret Love compilation series Sonar Kollektiv have succeeded in encapsulating this spirit shared among friends and fans of the label and in delivering a very personal vision of what soul-folk music is. And given the success of the previous volumes of Secret Love with more than 30.000 copies sold, JAZZANOVA faced something of a challenge in putting together this 5th issue in the series. Of course, expectations are high following the acclaim received by the previous four Secret Love compilations. But JAZZANOVA have hit the nail on the head yet again this time with another delightfully diverse compilation rich in some of the best new soul-folk around.
Dane NIKOLAJ GRANDJEAN gets the ball rolling with a gentle song appropriately entitled The First Picture. NIKOLAJ who releases on Music For Dreams, shows that all you really need for a great song is guitar and voice. GRANDJEAN is followed up by fellow Scandinavians, CHOIR OF YOUNG BELIEVERS with the somber and heart breaking tune Things I Stole. COYB, who already had the track Riot on the last Secret Love compilation, also released a single this year on Digital Kollektiv (DK023/folkwaves) and their album is hotly anticipated for release on Sonar Kollektiv early 2009. One early highlight on the new Secret Love is BRENT CASH's The Sea, These Waves which comes from his album How Will I Know I'm Awake (Marina Records). BRENT's remarkably smooth voice and the easy-listening production is clearly influenced by the sound of BACHARACH, BRIAN WILSON and MCCARTNEY.
Broken Promises by QUIET VILLAGE (aka RADIOSLAVE or REKIDS) is an uplifting downbeat number with plenty of soul so it fits the Secret Love bill perfectly. The chilled out track culminates in an ENNIO MORICONE style whistling solo: showdown in QUIET VILLAGE! Deeper Waters by RECLOOSE will soon come out as 12" on SK (SK192/dem roots) and is taken from the album Perfect Timing (SK191CD/illicity) that will be released on SK in September 2008. This divine song features the vocal talents of JOE DUKIE from New Zealand reggae minstrels FAT FREDDYS DROP who already appeared on Secret Love 2 with their song Del Fuego.
Love You Straight by POP LEVI is taken from the Never Never Love single on Counter Records. POP LEVI has also released on Ninja Tune and Emperor Norton and Love You Straight is pure romantic pop, reminiscent in production of 70s greats such as E.L.O. or WINGS while his voice has a hint of GILBERT O'SULLIVAN to it. Walking Home is the title track from CROWDPLEASER's forthcoming EP on Zurich label Drumpoet Community. The melodica on this LEXX 7" version give the piece something of a dub feeling so CROWDPLEASER holds true to his name. Combiner by Danish hip-hop collective BOOM CLAP BACHELORS is taken from their album Kort Før Dine Læber on afore mentioned Music For Dreams. The song was also included on GILLES PETERSON's compilation Brownswood Bubblers Two and the band played Roskilde festival this year.
Secret Love 5 goes from strength to strength with SAVATH & SAVALAS, a mellow Latin/psychedelic side-project of NY/Barcelona based GUILLERMO SCOTT HERREN perhaps better known as PREFUSE73 with notable releases on Warp. Under the SAVATH & SAVALAS moniker he has released on B-Music, Twisted Nerve, Finders Keepers, Hefty as well as on Ninja Tunes. Estrella De Dos Caras is a psyched-out trip that will carry you away on a trance-like journey. Following on from SAVATH & SAVALAS is Sonar Kollektiv recording artist LARS BARTKUHN whose Harmony Of The Spheres is another slightly psychedelic tune and could appeal to fans of TANGERINE DREAM. LARS, who has worked for the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy as a lecturer (Rome) and studio producer (Seattle) released the Dimensions 12" w/ MARKUS WORGULL Remix (SK171/elektrish) on SK earlier this year and a full length album is in the making too, it will be released in September 2008 Sonar Kollektiv. Absynth by WOOLFY VS PROJECTIONS originally came out in 2007 as 12″ on Permanent Vacation. WOOLFY also appeared on the Sonar Kollektiv compilation Computer Incarnations For World Peace 2 (SK185CD/EP) with his track Odyssey. Absynth, a collaboration with PROJECTIONS, is a gently chilled out groove track. The lyrics are sparse but amidst the synths one can discern a voice ask "Is this heaven?…", it might well be, at least if you're in love with the secrets of JAZZANOVA's latest compilation!
Next up are THE RUBIES with their hit single I Feel Electric feat Feist. The band is making waves in 2008 with recent support slots for JAMIE LIDELL and WHITEST BOY ALIVE. Their album Explode From The Center came out on Tellé Records (home of ROYKSOPP) last year and I Feel Electric feat. the unmistakable guest vocals by acclaimed Canadian chanteuse FEIST.
THIEF is the only artist to be included on all 5 Secret Love compilations to date. As regular Secret Love listeners will know, the group is made up of AXEL and STEFAN from JAZZANOVA (and EXTENDED SPIRIT) and Berlin singer-songwriter SASCHA GOTTSCHALK. The OWUSU remix of Down, Down is a mesmerizing and sublime space-pop number laced with broken beats and intricately cut samples. Which brings us to the penultimate song on Secret Love 5, Song For Wolfie by the ever illusive CLUTCHIE HOPKINS – taken from his album Walking Backwards on Ubiquity Records. This quirky track contains lots of melodica, live percussion and a blues voice like no one other. Its presence on Secret Love 5 is sure to strengthen the CLUTCHIE HOPKINS legend.
Last but not least, is Dublin based composer/producer STEE DOWNES who brings this sensational compilation to a harmonious close, fitting as Destruction of Ourselves is in fact STEE DOWNES very first solo release. But it certainly won't be the last as the track is taken from STEE's forthcoming debut album All In A Day which is also due for release on SK in November. Destruction of Ourselves is another fine song which rounds off the new episode in the Secret Love story nicely.
Secret Love 5 is another high class compilation from Sonar Kollektiv. JAZZANOVA understand the art of selecting a good compilation better than most. So the CD has just the right balance and momentum to make for a fully enjoyable listen from start to finish. From established artists such as FEIST, QUIET VILLAGE, SAVATH & SAVALAS (aka PREFUSE73), POP LEVI, RECLOOSE & JOE DUKIE (of FAT FREDDYS DROP), CROWDPLEASER, THIEF to fresh new talents like CHOIR OF YOUNG BELIEVERS, NIKOLAJ GRANDJEAN, LARS BARTKUHN or STEE DOWNES. JAZZANOVA have done it again with Secret Love 5 on Sonar Kollektiv – it's a great all round compilation full of surprises and with something for every taste.

Relative to the large and powerful hindlimbs, Tyrannosaurus forelimbs were small, though unusually powerful for their size, and bore two primary digits, along with a possible third vestigial digit. rex in size, it was the largest known tyrannosaurid and one of the largest known land predators, measuring up to 13 metres (43 ft.) in length, By far the largest carnivore in its environment, T.rex may have been an apex predator, preying upon hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, although some experts have suggested it was primarily a scavenger. rex have been identified, some of which are nearly complete skeletons.The tip of the upper jaw was U-shaped (most non-tyrannosauroid carnivores had V-shaped upper jaws), which increased the amount of tissue and bone a tyrannosaur could rip out with one bite, although it also increased the stresses on the front teeth.The premaxillary teeth at the front of the upper jaw were closely packed, D-shaped in cross-section, had reinforcing ridges on the rear surface, were incisiform (their tips were chisel-like blades) and curved backwards.In contrast the hind limbs were among the longest in proportion to body size of any theropod.The tail was heavy and long, sometimes containing over forty vertebrae, in order to balance the massive head and torso.The famous species Tyrannosaurus rex ('rex' meaning 'king' in Latin), commonly abbreviated to T.
One of this year's contestants, Lloyd Macey, recently opened up about Simon's absence last weekend, admitting it was a little strange not having the judge around."It was a bit strange on Saturday night to be honest with you – not having Simon there on the night," he told live shows and that the comments were fantastic."He added: "Simon's a lot better now and we were more concerned about how he was than that he wasn't there.
Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, with a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. rex are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the last three million years of the Cretaceous Period, approximately 68 to 65 million years ago; it was among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist prior to the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event.
Like other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail.
Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest land carnivores of all time; the largest complete specimen, FMNH PR2081 ("Sue"), measured 12.8 metres (42 ft) long, and was 4.0 metres (13 ft) tall at the hips. rex formed a natural S-shaped curve like that of other theropods, but was short and muscular to support the massive head.
The forelimbs were long thought to bear only two digits, but there is an unpublished report of a third, vestigial digit in one specimen.

This Sandhill Crane head portrait was created with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II lens and the 2X III teleconverter (handheld at 400mm) with the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV). ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 stop: 1/500 sec. at f/11 set manually.
Central Sensor AI Servo/Rear Focus AF active at the moment of exposure. Do note that many on-line photography "experts" state clearly that it is impossible to create sharp images with the fine detail that you see on the top of the crane's head with the 70-200 IS L II and a 2X teleconverter; does the image above look sharp to you???
Note also that with focus on the base of the beak that the bill tip is not sharp even at f/11. Most folks, even those who own and use telephoto and super-telephoto lenses, simply do not understand how shallow depth of field is with lenses in either class. For nearly three decades I have been advising, "Focus on the eye and let her rip." And that even when I am working wide open which regular readers know is most of the time. For an interesting discussion on depth-of-field with big lenses (and two very different opinions on the subject) click here, scroll down to Pane 17, and start reading.

TCU (7-0) is the Big 12's only undefeated team and headed to Iowa State (5-2) on Saturday. It is the last game before the CFP selection committee releases the first of its six weekly rankings for the season on Tuesday night.
"We're worried about going up to Ames and coming back 1-0 because if you don't do that, none of that stuff matters next week," running back Kyle Hicks said.
Hicks and Texada, both fifth-year seniors, are clearly immersed in coached Gary Patterson's longstanding message.
Hicks and Texada were redshirt freshmen who played in all 13 TCU games in 2014. Texada started every game in that 12-1 season, with TCU's only loss a 61-58 shootout at Baylor before finishing with a 42-3 win over Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl after being left out of the first four-team playoff.
TCU hasn't given up a touchdown its last two games, including a 43-0 win over Kansas at home last Saturday night. Iowa State also shut out the Jayhawks at home, 45-0 the week before that between road wins against Oklahoma and Texas Tech.

Lady Pirates reach 30-win plateau
ECU Sports Information
GREENVILLE - Cristen Aona hit a two-run walk-off home run to give East Carolina the 3-1 victory over N.C. State on Wednesday afternoon. It was Aona's third two-run home run in the last four games. The win gives the Pirates, 30-11, the season sweep of N.C. State (20-20) and the program 30 wins for the sixth straight season.
Toni Paisley, 22-6, recorded the victory in the circle as she allowed six hits and struck out 14 batters, just one short of her career high. In the last three games, Paisley has recorded 37 strikeouts in just 20 innings of work. The victory was also the 47th of her career, putting her in sole possession of sixth-place on the ECU career chart.
N.C. State's Mendy McKenzie also had a solid performance in the circle, allowing six hits and striking out five. The Wolfpack was led on offense Alyssa Allbritten who finished with two hits and Claudia Cooper who drove in the team's only run.
The Pirates had a chance to score in the bottom of the first but could not convert. Angel Barrella led off with a single to right and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Charina Sumner. Jessica Johnson then walked to put runners on first and second with one out. Fly outs by Aona and Paisley followed to end the frame.
In the bottom of the second, ECU put the first two runners of the inning on but again failed to score. Sarah Bibee walked and Christina Merrida was hit by a pitch but a strikeout, groundout and pop out ended the threat.
n the top of the fifth, N.C. State mounted its first scoring chance as Bridget Desbois led off with a single to right field. Katie Mansilla came in to pinch run and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Kristine Bechtholdt. After a strikeout, an infield single by Lauren Peters put runners at the corners with two outs. A pop out by Landon Warren then ended the threat and kept the game scoreless.
After the defensive hold, East Carolina broke through with a run in the bottom of the inning. Barrella tallied her second hit of the contest with a single up the middle and advanced to second on an error by the center fielder. Another Sumner sacrifice bunt moved Barrella to third and Johnson singled to plate Barrella for the 1-0 lead.
The Pirate lead did not last long as the Wolfpack knotted the score at 1-1 in the top of the sixth. Alyssa Ishibashi singled to right, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and to third on Allbritten's second single of the game. A single by Cooper then drove in Ishibashi and tied the score. Desbois followed by hitting into a fielder's choice that left runners on the corners with two outs. Paisley then struck out Bechtholdt to end the inning.
Kaui Tom hit a two-out double for ECU in the bottom of the sixth but was left stranded. N.C. State then went down in order in the top of the seventh.
In the bottom of the frame, Barrella led off with her team-leading 23rd walk of the season and moved to second on Sumner's third sacrifice bunt of the afternoon. Johnson then fouled out to the first baseman for the second out of the inning. Aona stepped to the plate and drilled the 3-1 pitch over the left field wall for the walk-off winner. It was the Pirates' second walk-off victory of the season with the other coming on February 27 against Fordham.
East Carolina will be in action again today when the team travels to Elon for a single non-conference game beginning at 6 p.m.

At the request of the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCS) of Puerto Rico, the Court of First Instance of San Juan issued the order to initiate the liquidation process of the insurance company, Real Legacy Assurance, Inc., converting the process of previous rehabilitation in an order to liquidate the business of this insurance company under the exclusive supervision of the judicial forum, transcended on Friday.
Every claimant, insured or creditor, even if he has previously submitted his claim to the Real Legacy insurer or has a pending lawsuit in court, must complete and submit to the Assistant Liquidator appointed by the Commissioner the Claim Form no later than 90 days, from the date the Order is issued. The Claim Form will be available at http://ocs.pr.gov. If the Form is not submitted on or before the established term, as of the date of issue of the Liquidation Order, the priority and distribution of the payment may be affected.
The liquidation process initiated today is governed by the provisions of Chapter 40 of the Insurance Code, which establish the form and order of priority that the liquidator will follow for the equitable distribution of the available assets of the insolvent insurer among the insured, claimants and creditors. .
"During the past month of November and December, the Court authorized the sale of the business portfolio of Real Legacy in Puerto Rico and British and American Virgin Islands, respectively, in order to monetize the assets of the insurer in money available to honor the maximum possible the obligations of Real Legacy with its insured, claimants and creditors, in protection of the best public interest ", explained the Commissioner of Insurance, Javier Rivera Ríos, in written communication.
The liquidation also activates the coverage of the Miscellaneous Insurance Guaranty Association, a mechanism through which valid claims against the insolvent Real Legacy insurer can be met within a maximum coverage limit of $ 300,000 per event claimed, or one million dollars in aggregate. The Guarantee Association will be considered as the insurer up to such limits with respect to the pending claims against Real Legacy.
The Claim Form may also be presented personally in the facilities of the Insurer in Liquidation located in Metro Office Park, Lot 1, Floor 2, Guaynabo, PR or by mail to P.O. Box 71467, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00936-8567.

Tracking Our Impact: Economic Reincorporation as a Driver of Rural Transformation
Home > Resources > Tracking Our Impact > Economic Reincorporation as a Driver of Rural Transformation
To continue sharing the lessons learned with people and institutions interested in building peace through sustainable rural development in Colombia, in this issue of "Tracking Our Impact" we analyze why Rural Alternative Schools (ERA) are considered by 84 percent of their participants as a good socioeconomic reincorporation alternative. This analysis is based on results from the chapter "Future Perspectives on the Reincorporation Process" of the 2020 ERA Perception and Satisfaction Survey.
In the previous article we explained that one of the main motivations of respondents to remain in the peace process is to contribute to effect social change in their region. After five years of consolidation as spaces for collaboration, trust-building, and support for productive projects that promote sustainable rural economies, ERAs have become spaces that catalyze the creative and transformative energy of ex-combatants, creating short- and medium-term changes that can already be observed in the territories they inhabit. This explains why 98 percent of the participants consider that the collaborative productive projects in which they participate have been important for their regions.
Economic Reincorporation and Collaborative Reconstruction of the Colombia Countryside.
November 24 marked five years since the signing of the Peace Agreement between the Colombian government and the former guerrilla group FARC-EP. While peace talks moved forward, One Earth Future Foundation designed the Sustainable Peace for Colombia (PASO Colombia) program to support the economic reincorporation of those who agreed to lay down their arms. Using an iterative and data-driven approach and in collaboration with ex-combatants, campesino (rural peasant) communities, and public and private organizations, PASO Colombia developed the Rural Alternative Schools (ERA) model, a collaborative educational and productive platform to support productive projects that would positively impact the social and economic well-being of ex-combatants and campesinos.
Acknowledging that rural communities have been most affected by armed conflict, PASO Colombia incorporated the territorial and multi-stakeholder approach enshrined in the Comprehensive Rural Reform described in Item 1 of the Peace Agreement. The purpose of this approach is to support the economic reincorporation of those who lay down their arms as a driver of the transformations needed to consolidate peace in the country's dispersed rural areas. One of these transformations is the improvement of living and working conditions for campesinos. Those who live in rural areas are affected by a permanent lack of safety, insufficient work remuneration, high transportation and supply costs, and lack of social care for local communities.
In this context, ERAs have consolidated as stakeholder integration platforms through dialogues, daily collaborative work, and prioritized long-term objectives based on collective consensus-building processes. As a whole, ERAs have fostered the creation of community bonds among their participants: 76 percent of the community members feel that their relationship with ex-combatants has been positive or very positive, 83 percent of campesinos feel comfortable having an ex-combatant as a neighbor, and 70 percent report that they are part of some productive project with ex-combatants.
In the communities that emerged thanks to ERAs, social reincorporation helps reduce stigmatization, divisions, and other obstacles to the integration of various stakeholders. Eighty-nine percent of the ex-combatants indicate that they plan to continue working collaboratively with their surrounding communities, and 91 percent of them feel satisfied by having reestablished their family bonds.
The Collective Experiment in Economic Reincorporation
One of the novelties of the Peace Agreement is the collective nature of economic reincorporation. Consequently, ERAs promote associative models in which people living in the same territory can cooperate to create economies of scale or find solutions to shared problems. Eighty-three percent of the surveyed participants reported belonging to a cooperative, and 74 percent of them are active members of a cooperative whose projects are associated with ERAs. Strengthening associations and cooperatives of ex-combatants and campesinos increases their capacity to create productive value chains, participate in discussions on the development of their territories with other institutions, and expand marketing opportunities for their projects.
The ERA model relies on collaboration to coordinate five fundamental components for the sustainability of the productive projects prioritized with communities: markets, land, knowledge, labor, and capital. The surveyed participants agreed that the most important aspects for their reincorporation process are the following: owning their own land (85 percent), participating in productive projects (82 percent), and marketing their products (80 percent). The collaborative and networking approach has proven to be effective in overcoming obstacles such as lack of land or access to markets. It also expands its benefits to the surrounding communities.
For example, in 2016 the ERA of Miranda was established in five hectares of common land in the Campesino Reserve Zone (ZRC, as per its Spanish acronym) of Miranda, which were ceded by the Association for Defending the Constitution of the Campesino Reserve Zone of Miranda (ASPROZONAC, as per its Spanish acronym), who partnered with the ex-combatant cooperative CEPRODET. In the beginning of this ERA, only 10 percent of the 105 hectares in the Reserve Zone were cultivated with food crops. Today, after five years of collaborative work, almost all of the reserve's agricultural land is cultivated with crops for self-consumption and local commercialization. As part of this productive expansion, ex-combatants and campesinos created the Peace Alternative Market (MERCAPAZ) in the municipality of Miranda, a space for marketing local agricultural products without the intervention of middlemen.
Another emblematic case is the ERA of San José del Guaviare. This project began with the purpose of producing organic concentrates to ensure feed for animal husbandry projects created by ex-combatants and now benefits the surrounding communities. These concentrates are made by reusing agricultural by-products and local raw materials. Their implementation has encouraged the use of land for food crops, helps recover soils degraded by deforestation and illicit crops, and increases the sustainability of agricultural projects by reducing the costs and environmental impact of animal husbandry supplies. Ex-combatant cooperatives participating in the ERA (COOJAPAL and COOAMACOL) created a Collaborative Commercial Partnership with campesino families in the village of Colinas, who receive a 30 percent discount on animal feed. Ex-combatants also sell these concentrates at a 40 percent discount to families who voluntarily replaced their illicit crops. Experts from National Training Service (SENA, as per its Spanish acronym) and Universidad de los Llanos have been involved in the project to improve technological development in production. This is project is under a scaling-up stage aimed at tripling its monthly production.
Expectation on peacebuilding
Our experience in the last five years of work shows us that collaborative spaces such as ERAs, which are built on multi-stakeholder partnerships and work with ex-combatants and campesino communities as partners, allow us to create support networks for productive projects, thus enabling coexistence spaces with improved perceptions of security, trust, and more opportunities for dialogue —as we discussed in previous issues of "Tracking Our Impact." The joint effort of the last few years has allowed us to witness how the social fabric of communities affected by armed conflict has strengthened in different parts of the country where this model has been implemented. By 2020, 91 percent of the ex-combatants participating in ERAs and 90 percent of the community members stated that their experience in ERAs had been positive or very positive. Similarly, 70 percent of ex-combatants participating in them have an optimistic attitude toward the future of the reincorporation process, whose implementation has been planned for a period of fifteen years and will be a continuous challenge for those who are fully devoted to peacebuilding.

Year 10 have completed their exams and attended the Year 10 into Year 11 Transition Day up at Mornington. Tomorrow, we celebrate their final day at Padua Rosebud with their peers, staff and parents. Year 9 have also concluded the Aspire9 program and will experience their Transition Day at Mornington on Monday 3 December in preparation for Year 10 in 2019. Year 8 students have concluded their House Leadership Speeches with successful candidates to be announced at the Final Assembly on Wednesday 5 December, followed with Campus Carols and House Celebration Days on Thursday 6 December and a visit to the movies to conclude the school year for the students.
Parents can expect College information to be emailed before the end of this year, ready for the beginning of the 2019 school year, detailing dates and general information that will be particularly important for new families.
Thank You to Year 10!
After four years Year 10 students will soon leave Inglewood Crescent. Friday morning the Liturgy and Final Assembly Awards Presentation will be a fitting end to their school year, as will the Year 10 Social at the National Golf Club tomorrow evening. The importance of Year 10's last day at Padua Rosebud is a significant time in their Rites of Passage.
Year 10 students have left their imprint on Padua Rosebud. They have offered counsel to their younger peers when it was required and, on most occasions, accepted the wisdom and advice of their teachers when needed. It takes a village to raise every child and thank you to all staff who have been involved (no matter how large or small) in nurturing Year 10 students towards adulthood. We sincerely thank parents for supporting their sons and daughters along their journey over the past four years. When school and home use the same road map it is far easier to navigate the terrain!
No teenager is perfect and most have 'a moment' or two at home or at school, yet when they have needed to stand and be counted, Year 10 were there in numbers. Year 10 are a lucky lot! Why? Because they have had House Coordinators who have been outstanding mentors. I know they are grateful for the time, dedication and acumen they received from Mrs Goldsmid; Mrs Paton; Ms Cummins; Mr Slavin and other House Coordinators during their time at Padua Rosebud.
Year 10 have been prepared well for the next stage of their educational journey. They will have much to offer their new peers at Padua Mornington. Padua Rosebud is about nurturing leadership, developing character and understanding that Christ is always by our sides. Thank you Year 10.
Congratulations to the students who will receive awards at the Assembly next week for their excellence across curriculum and or in specialist areas of school life. Congratulations must also go to the students who will be announced as the leaders of our Rosebud Campus in 2019. These achievements are statements of their maturity and desire to share their gifts with their peers. May they continue to use their academic talents and leadership acumen for the common good of all and in the spirit of service to others.
Thank you for supporting the Christmas Hamper Appeal for 2018. We can all so easily get caught up in the business of the end of year that the real meaning of the season can sometimes be unintentionally misplaced. Our thanks to Mrs Goldsmid and the Catholic Action Program students for highlighting and organising the collection of donations that will be distributed to families leading up to Christmas Day.
As this is my last contribution to the Paduan, I offer my sincere thanks to the families who have entrusted your sons and daughters to the charism and spirit of Padua. Since 2013 my time at Padua College has been predominantly at the Rosebud Campus and what a joy it has been each morning to greet the day with a "good morning" to the St Anthony statue and more importantly to work alongside such wonderful and inspiring colleagues (both teaching and non-teaching) who every day are committed to the students in their care. When commissioned in 2000 as a Principal in the NSW Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese, I took Romero's Prayer as my leadership creed because I believe that in Catholic education we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. Those who fought so hard in the past to give Catholic education a voice in Australian society, to educate young men and women in a personal relationship with Christ. There is no doubt that Padua, like all Catholic Schools, sends young people into the adult world who have integrity and who do make a difference, even when faced with the challenges of living in a contemporary world. We are never fully formed but to instil lifelong learning into the hearts and minds of our students, enables them to understand that life is never perfected, but the students will be better for experiencing a holistic education. It has been my privilege to share the journey.
The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts; it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work.
On behalf of the Padua Rosebud staff we wish all families a blessed, joyful and peaceful Christmas with laughter aplenty. Christmas is family time, particularly in attending Mass or at other Church services. Christmas is to be treasured and may we be generous in our thoughts and prayers for families coping with illness and or missing the presence of loved ones. May the joy of Christ fill a struggling heart. If you are travelling around Christmas time, go gently on the roads, near or afar.

The images on Martin's first vision board have come to life in a way she could scarcely have imagined: Martin posted an image of an evening gown to symbolize her desire to attend red-carpet events, and she was subsequently invited to attend Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential Inauguration. The words "Award Winning" led to recognition as one of only 100 U.S. entrepreneurs to receive the 2011 British Airways Face of Opportunity Award, and a slew of product photos showcasing her vision to become a brand spokesperson translated into her selection as a 2011 Fila spokesmodel, complete with a full-page ad in InTouch Weekly magazine.

Lawrence Adam Michael "Laurie" Abrahams (also spelt Lawrie; born 3 April 1953) is a retired English professional footballer who played as a striker in England, the United States, and Australia. In a career which lasted from 1977 to 1987, Abrahams played 283 career league games, and scored 142 league goals.
Abrahams was born in Stepney, in the East End of London, and after an apprenticeship at Barking, he signed a professional contract in 1977 with Charlton Athletic. He spent one season at Charlton, making sixteen appearances. After leaving Charlton in 1978, Abrahams moved to the United States and played in the North American Soccer League for the New England Tea Men, Tulsa Roughnecks, and California Surf. The Surf folded at the end of the 1981 season and on 6 October 1981, the Tulsa Roughnecks selected Abrahahms in the Dispersal Draft. He played the 1982 and 1983 outdoor seasons in Tulsa followed by the 1983-1984 NASL indoor season. He was the Offensive MVP of 1983 NASL Grand Prix of Indoor Soccer, posting 12 goals and 6 assists in 8 games. In May 1984, the Roughnecks traded Abrahams to the San Diego Sockers in exchange for Peter Skouras and two used soccer balls. He began the season paired with Ade Coker up front, but was relegated to the bench after the Sockers acquired Steve Zungul and Branko Segota. On 17 October 1984, the Sockers sold Abrahams rights to the New York Cosmos for $25,000. The Cosmos entered the Major Indoor Soccer League in the fall of 1984, but sold his contract to the Kansas City Comets in January 1985. He remained with the Comets through the 1985-1986 season. Abrahams spent the 1986 season in Australia with the Melbourne Knights, where he made 9 appearances, before returning to America to play with the Wichita Wings during the 1986-1987 MISL season.


Societe Generale Private Banking and Forbes Insights* have published "Emerging Markets: Joining the Global Ranks of Wealth Creators", a new exclusive study on the perception and evolution of personal wealth in these regions which are experiencing rapid change.
Although entrepreneurs from emerging markets have made impressive strides in building global companies, they are still at a disadvantage when it comes to creating global brands. Because their fortunes are mostly first-generation, wealth management in these emerging markets is less developed than in mature markets. A real field of opportunity.
This new study is based on an analysis of 250 UHNWIs in 22 countries in Central & Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with the average fortune of the 250 individuals studied being $2.8 billion. The study also contains the results of interviews conducted by the Forbes Insights team with numerous editors or former editors of local language editions of Forbes, as well as with analysts from the Forbes Wealth Panel**.
Business people in the emerging markets of Africa, Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East have joined the ranks of global billionaires. Some of these fortunes have evolved prodigiously. However, they are not yet up to the levels of mature markets.
The majority (78%) of emerging-market fortunes studied for this report are first-generation. Citizens of the world, they nevertheless remain strongly attached to their homeland.
Paradoxically, building a top global business is tougher than joining the ranks of global billionaires. Just 6% of the world's 2,000 largest public companies are owned by billionaires from emerging markets, whereas the latter account for 14% of the world's billionaires.
Sports, philanthropy and politics are among the top pursuits of billionaires from emerging markets studied for this report. While some pursuits are investments, and some are philanthropic, the billionaires are often trailblazers in how they approach these areas.
Technology is seen as the industry that will vault emerging markets ahead, transforming them into high-value added producers who do not need to rely on inexpensive labour or natural resources for growth.
Societe Generale Private Banking accompanies UHNWIs worldwide, whether their wealth comes from family or from business, through its international network of offices in 17 countries. More widely, Societe Generale group serves UHNWIs through Private Investment Banking, a complete and dedicated offering which allows these clients to benefit from access to all the wealth management and investment banking expertise within the Group, for the management of their private wealth and their business.
