"A stop on the way": the daily life and the urge away us from the real opportunity to enjoy life without we realize about it, the thousand jobs, appointments, tasks and immediacy often become our daily bread. It is necessary to pause and think again, look in front of the mirror, to find a space to reflect on our daily lives, ambitions, projects, family, work, the perfect the future, in short, be conscious about what we do and where we go... and something more important, if we are clear about the ideal future that we dream or even becomes turbulent for some and more clear to others, if we have a pointed way or if someone feels still flying... This reflection allows us to live from the "Strategic Deployment" held in the South Zone from 9 to August 11 this year. In the Ibague CEAD On august 10 and 11 was the installation of the event at International Casa Morales hotel, with participation of 126 workers from the zone: academic staff, administrators, students, graduates, community and 14 members from the National Mission Board, led it by Mr. Alberto Leal Afanador Dr.Jaime Rector, Vice-Rectors, Deans, Dean Advisors and members of the Supreme Council.

XXIX Anniversary

By: Diego Marín Idarraga Zonal Coordinator Laboratory Fats and oils are, together with proteins and carbohydrates, one of the three most important components of the food consumed by humans and animals.

They provide energy, taste, smell and lubricating properties to foods. The food in the form of cream, mayonnaise, margarines, chocolate, confectionery coating, ornaments, pastries, cheeses and other products maintain their qualities by the presence of fats. Fats and oils have their origin in the tissues of animals and plants. A simple definition is that fats are oily materials that are in solid state. A research proposal you are working from Ibague CEAD in ECBTI, is to perform a laboratory analysis of the fat or cocoa butter grown in the department of Tolima, applying various unit processes and operations.

The fat of cocoa as defined Alimentarium Codex Committee on Cocoa Products and Chocolate "is the fat produced from one or more of the following sources: cocoa beans, cocoa liquor (cocoa mass), cocoa cake and that extracted by mechanical processes and / or by means of solvents allowed, cake and fine cocoa powder. " The fat or cocoa butter is used in the confectionery industry and in the manufacture of mainly chocolate bars.

The fundamental reason why it is used is due to its unique melting point temperature below 26 º C, is hard and bright, rapidly and completely melts at body temperature (Laughing, 1998). It also has a characteristic smell of delicious chocolate, chocolate industry beneficial.

Consequently, the primary objective of this research was to determine the

The extraction of fat in cocoa was studied in Theobroma cacao beans from the native variety for different temperatures (45 ° C and average ambient 28 ° C) and times (12 and 24 h), Some tests were conducted at the Laboratory of Food Science Federico Lleras Acosta Hospital of the city of Ibague. The beans were placed in a fiber for fermentation that its main function is to remove the pulp that surrounds them was held for six days and then drying preceded. The experiments were performed with four samples at different temperatures and times.

The fat content was determined using a leaching method using solvent-ethyl ether.

the method in which a higher percentage of fat was obtained which was subjected to a temperature of 45 ° C and a time of 24 h, the objective of this project is to lead the way in studies of this kind in the department of Tolima, aims for further research, involving more variables and greater involvement of the UniversityIndustry-State, in the field cultivation, transformation processes and adding value through the optimization of control variables, focusing on productivity, efficiency and increased yields of the products based on vegetable fat, which has been considered to be prominent in the country, and that cocoa was identified within the exported as a promising bet for the coming years.

According to the results of this study, the cocoa beans were affected by the two variables to analyze time and temperature, concluding that

The user notices that their system is being invaded when ads appear on the screen or there is loss of information.

This problem is evident in the family, school, business, national and international, since the frequent use of the information through the Internet has become the way in which companies make their processes as a general rule, the disadvantages are larger and the consequences of all types are starting to show, for instance what happened with the National Registry of Civil Status and results of the r e f e r e n d u m conservative.

Through these Trojans, hackers can take control of vital files from our computer.

Worm Are self. Reside in active memory of the computer and scan the network for vulnerable computers that can be transmitted.

If reproduction is uncontrolled, could end up wiping out the network resources.

Dynamics of trade: Exploiting the creativity of the South Zone

By: Eng. Mauricio Perdomo Vargas Tutor CERES Villa de San Sebastiรกn La Plata Huila During the development of the Strategic Deployment of the South Zone carried out in the city of Ibague, a range of activities were done with a high character of analysis and reflection into an academic, pedagogical and didactical frame. These activities gathered the whole family from UNAD South Zone with a common goal: to reflect on the appropriation and internalization that each of the participants have made about our

PA P S ( A c a d e m i c P r o j e c t Educational Outreach) in our zone.

Bearing this in mind, a dynamic called "The Trade" was designed. It was divided into seven moments. Six of them were done in each center and the last one was carried out area within the event. The main objective of this activity was: "To provide a dynamic, original and organized activity which allows knowing the level of knowledge and analysis of the community of the South Zone based on the organizational structure and performance criteria defined in PAPS. The dynamics made participants answered a

questionnaire about the relevance and quality of the elements of the administrative organizational component of the PAPS. This questionnaire should be done within a developed critical thinking and discussion by group exercise.

As a final result of the activity, some commercials were shown in different formats. They let groups from each center support their main ideas. This group exercise also let participants and missionary staff be witnesses of the Unadol, the Megau and the Sale of UNAD commercials. CCCCCCCCCCCCC

Finally and giving closure to the activity, a final reflection was done on the findings found in the activity. This reflection showed that the lack of appropriation of some of the criteria is because the Meta UNAD as a system can be affected by the environment or context that surrounds it.

Another finding was that the Community of the Southern Zone acts in accordance with the PAPS. However, sometimes our community acts empirically. It is reflected, for example, when our graduates without knowing the PAPS, act rightly in accordance with the criteria and values academic project that promotes teaching.

Final Reflection ...

During my colleagues´ expositions I realized that creativity was a constant in the Southern Zone. Some of them had some sort of error or failure. However, a high degree of creativity was a characteristic when activities were designed and applied from discovering the everyday, until Metaplan, an activity that made everyone laughed. We reflect and discuss in each activity thanks to the imagination with which they were designed. I believe that this creativity can make UNAD and its South Zone greater.

As a famous author says, "All people have the willingness to work creatively. What happens is that most of tem never notice it" this could support that sometimes not highlighted this great virtue, that of creativity.

called UNAD. Finally, I want to thank all our Family from UNAD South Zone, for the warmth we received from them which support us to make a successful development of the work. I want to thank to Dr. Gloria Isabel Vargas Hurtado, for their hospitality and support. Thanks to Dr. Patricia Ruiz for providing such great support and advice in designing and carrying out the activity, and to the Missionary staff headed by the UNAD´S principal, who participated actively in our strategic deployment.
