Gero

Gero I (c. 900 20 May 965), called the Great (Latin magnus), ruled an initially modest march centred on Merseburg, which he expanded into a vast territory named after him: the marca Geronis. During the mid-10th century, he was the leader of the Saxon Drang nach Osten.

Succession and early conflicts

Gero was the son of Count Thietmar, tutor of Henry I. He was appointed by King Otto I to succeed his brother, Siegfried, as count and margrave in the district fronting the Wends on the lower Saale in 937. His appointment frustrated Thankmar, the king's half-brother and Siegfried's cousin, and together with Eberhard of Franconia and Wichmann the Elder, he revolted against the king (938). Thankmar was dead within a year and his accomplices came to terms with Otto. Gero was kept in his march.

During the insurrection of his opponents, Gero had been prosecuting a losing war against the Slavs in 937938. The losses his troops sustained could not be made up for by the produce of the land nor by tribute, since the Slavs refused to pay. As an important marcher lord, Gero's command included milites ad manum Geronis presidis conscripti, that is, a "military following," "warband of vassals or companions," or "specially chosen group of fighters" differentiated from the rest of the army (exercitus). These men formed the elite of Gero's troops.

Gero (archbishop of Cologne)

Gero (c. 900 – 29 June 976) was Archbishop of Cologne from 969 until his death.

Gero originated from Saxony, probably a son of the Billung count Christian (d. 950), who ruled in the Eastphalian Nordthüringgau and Schwabengau as well as over the adjacent lands of Serimunt in the Marca Geronis. He and his brother Margrave Thietmar of Meissen were the sons of Christian's marriage with Hidda, sister of Margrave Gero the Great.

In 969, Gero was elected Archbishop of Cologne by the cathedral chapter. According to the medieval chronicler Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg, he at first met with opposition from the Emperor Otto the Great. In late 971, he was an ambassador to the Byzantine court in Constantinople, in order to arrange the marriage of Otto's heir, Otto II, to the Byzantine princess Theophanu in April 972 in Rome. On that journey he also brought back some relics of Saint Pantaleon for the dedication of the new St. Pantaleon's Church in Cologne. In 972 he attended a synod at Ingelheim, and the next year was present at the emperor's funeral.

Gero (book)

Gero (meaning 'later', Guero in contemporary spelling) is a 16th century ascetic book in Basque composed by Pedro Agerre (also spelled Pedro D'Aguerre), better known as Axular. It is considered one of the masterpieces of classic Basque prose and literature altogether. It was published at Bordeaux in 1643 under the patronage of Bertrand D'Etchauz, Basque archbishop of Tours (1617-1641). The book was written after the period of the harrowing witch persecution (Pierre de Lancre's intervention in Labourd).

The book, written in an instructive tone, dwells on the idea of the harm and misfortunes issued from putting off one's religious duties, on the grounds that men need to turn to Christ with no delay. While the title's tagline reads «divided into two parts», only the existence of one book has been attested. Basque scholar Piarres Lafitte claimed that both parts had been merged into one. By contrast, former president of the Basque Language Academy Luis Villasante held that the second part had been actually lost for ever. Gero shows no mysticism, but the book intends to explain and prove an ascetic idea, arranged as if it was to be addressed from the pulpit to the parishioners.

Common Agricultural Policy

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the agricultural policy of the European Union. It implements a system of agricultural subsidies and other programmes. It was introduced in 1962 and has undergone several changes since then.

It has been repeatedly criticised for its cost and its environmental and humanitarian impacts.

History

The common agricultural policy was born in the late 1950s and early 1960s when the founding members of the EC had emerged from over a decade of severe food shortages during and after World War II. As part of building a common market, tariffs on agricultural products would have to be removed. However, the political clout of farmers and the sensitivity of the issue made it take many years before the CAP was fully implemented.

Beginnings

The Treaty of Rome, signed in 1957, established the Common Market. It also defined the general objectives of a CAP. The principles of the CAP were set out at the Stresa Conference in July 1958. The creation of a common agricultural policy was proposed in 1960 by the European Commission, and the CAP mechanisms were adopted by the six founding Member States. In 1962, the CAP came into force.

    C & A

    by: Menace

    There comes a time in life when you have to make your decisions
    To mould your future because tomorrow is another day
    Well I've been sitting, thinking, and I kinda see it this way
    I'd really like to be 'man at C & A'
    I'd really like to be
    I really wanna be
    The position was made for me
    I think I've got to be
    I don't really care if we're in or out of Europe
    And I don't give a toss if inflation is up or down
    Just give me my Sky TV
    All I want is my Ford Capri
    And I'll be happier that way
    I think I'll spend my time wearing lairy shorts in Essex
    I think I'll spend my days burning holes in the ozone layer
    And when my children say, 'What did you do for me Dad?'
    I'll say, 'Don't ask me kid, I was man at C & A'
    You can find a future if you stroll down to the job club
    And you can buy anything as long as you're willing to pay
    But I get all I want at my local Sainsbury's supermarket
    And the rest are at bargain prices
    When I shop down at C & A
    So when your time comes and you have to make your decisions
    To mould your future, because tomorrow's is another day
    Then why not join me at the queue down at the check out
