Master (2 years) of Sustainable Heritage Management, 120 ECTSHumanities, social sciences, communication and arts
|Aarhus University (AU)
|2 years
|Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)
|Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)
DescriptionThe MA programme in Sustainable Heritage Management (SHM) at Aarhus University provides you with the competencies needed to meet the multiple challenges of contemporary heritage management. Working with cultural and natural heritage means being conscious of, and taking responsibility for, the links between humans, our environment and the past. But heritage is also an integral part of the present and a potential resource for the future. Through your engagement with both theory and practice, you will gain the skills you need to work in the exciting, expanding and increasingly complex heritage field. You will be trained in a uniquely interdisciplinary environment to designate, assess, retain and sustain heritage and to develop, revise and innovate the future shapes of the sector.
Heritage as ResourceThe SHM programme qualifies you to analyse and respond to the opportunities, responsibilities, and ethical implications of heritage work, providing not only a sophisticated academic framework, but also a practice-based set of skills. You will learn to tackle the future challenges of heritage management on the local and the global scale.
A Highly Interdisciplinary FieldHeritage studies and heritage management make up a highly interdisciplinary field, involving methodologies and theoretical frameworks from various disciplines. The SHM programme at AU is anchored in an interdisciplinary research environment based in the archaeology department that includes engaging with scholars from archaeology, anthropology, intellectual history, aesthetics, history, museology, cultural studies, evolutionary studies, and digital design.
Thus during your studies you will work not only with material forms of cultural heritage, but also with textual data and, not least, people and their various perceptions of heritage. The programme revolves around and intersects with the new Moesgaard Museum, some ten kilometres outside Aarhus, affording unique collaborative opportunities for students and staff in this university museum environment.
CareersGraduates in Sustainable Heritage Management are qualified for a number of job markets and industries, depending on your area of interest and specialisation. Recent graduates are working in the museum and archival sectors, in planning and development agencies, and in bodies within resource management and capacity building, as well as in tourism and the artistic and creative industries.

INDEPENDENTS REPORT: Wholesale commitment
Caito Foods has made a habit of giving retailers quality, variety, and service. But what's most outstanding is its dedication to family-owned supermarkets.
When you love what you do," says Philip Caito, "you never have to work a day in your life." Such is the philosophy on which the family-owned Caito Foods was built. What began in the 1940s as a hobby for two young boys has today been transformed into a nationally respected corporation, a family legacy, and a commitment to providing the finest customer service in the food industry.
When Caito was just 4 years old, he and his younger brother, Joe, then 2, first ventured into the produce business. The energetic sons of a banana vendor, the pair often enjoyed visiting their father at the Indianapolis produce terminal not far from their home. There they gathered loose bananas that had broken off their stalks and carefully placed them into 10-pound bushel baskets. Off they went, traveling either by foot or bicycle, selling only the best bananas to neighbors and friends. So began their labor of love.
Five decades later, Philip and Joe, along with their brother, Fred, are still selling bananas—and a lot more. Established in 1965, the Indianapolis-based Caito Foods today services 500 supermarkets, the majority of which are independently owned, operating in 11 Midwestern states. Nestled in the heart of the city's industrial district, the company ships a total of 10 million pounds of produce each week from its two sophisticated distribution centers—a 200,000-square-foot facility at Indianapolis headquarters and a new state-of-the-art warehouse that opened last fall in Newcomerstown, Ohio.
Through the years, Caito Foods has experienced tremendous growth and has meticulously earned its reputation as one of the finest full-service produce distributors in the country. Quality, variety, and service are hallmarks of the organization, but perhaps most appreciated is the wholesaler's commitment to family-owned supermarkets.
Philip Caito, president and c.e.o., views independent operators as the lifeblood of his company. "We have never forgotten those who believed in us from the very beginning. It was the family-owned supermarkets who gave us a chance in the 1960s, and without them there would be no Caito Foods. Twelve years ago, we were approached to service Wal-Mart and we turned them down. Our passion is for independents and they will always be our No. 1 priority," he says.
One of many independents who admires Caito's devotion is John Alge, v.p. and c.o.o. of Lofino Foods, which operates a group of Cub Food Stores and Save-A-Lots in Dayton and Columbus, Ohio. "A couple of years ago, there was a buzzword floating around the industry called 'partnering.' As far as I'm concerned, the Caitos invented this concept over 40 years ago," says Alge. "The rest of the industry has tried to figure it out, but they haven't come close. The Caitos just get it."
'Amazing partnership'
He continues, "Years ago, we connected with Phil Caito and his team and together developed a formula to improve our produce operations. No longer do we have buyers sitting and staring at invoices all day trying to figure out if we got a good deal. We leave that up to the Caitos. Today, our companies continue to work together to create synergies for both organizations. We look out for each other and it's an amazing partnership."
What also makes Caito Foods the enviable leader in the produce industry is its commitment to training. Each year, the company sponsors a comprehensive education conference for retailers and industry executives. Director of merchandising Joe Himmelheber coordinated the two-day event held in late February in Indianapolis. Attending were 450 retail associates, from store owners and operations execs to produce managers and their assistants. Surprisingly, they didn't care to talk much about Wal-Mart or about Kmart's bankruptcy. They were more interested in discussing their relationship with Caito Foods and how the wholesaler delivers more than produce.
"I've been doing business with Caito for eight years," said Bob Sowers, president of Bob's IGA stores in Athens, Ohio. "They really care about our company and our employees." He continued, "One day, a driver named Gilbert Zook was delivering produce to my back room when he learned that our pallet jack was broken. Knowing that our delivery was the last stop of his route that day, Gilbert insisted on leaving his pallet jack at my store until we could get ours repaired. Two weeks later, he picked up the equipment and returned it to the Caito warehouse."
Sowers' story and countless others made me want to learn more about the Caito organization. I persuaded the brothers to break away from retailers discuss their business philosophies and views on a changing industry. Following our visit, I reflected on my own experience as a supermarket retailer. While I was privileged to work with several outstanding suppliers, in retrospect most pale in comparison to Caito Foods. Why? The answer is quite obvious: The Caito family and their associates, including drivers like Gilbert Zook, have managed to never lose sight of people.
"Mentally, we are very different from other wholesalers," says Joe Caito, v.p. and c.o.o. "Our sole mission is to help independents drive sales through merchandising, marketing, and education. We don't just deliver product to the back door and leave; that's not who we are."
Fred Caito, executive director of the company and youngest of the three brothers, explains, "Caito's team of professionals works directly with our retailers on a daily basis. Together, we study individual markets and, more importantly, we react. Our purpose is to strategically develop produce departments that are in all ways superior to the competition."
Competition from mass merchants has forced many independents to call it quits. It appears that many Caito customers are doing just the opposite. During the past year, several of them, including Dorothy Lane Markets, Scozio's, Reisbeck's Markets, Buehler's, Lofino Foods, and Marc's Deep Discount Stores, to name a few, have expanded their operations by building new stores or remodeling existing locations.
"As the food industry landscape continuously evolves and consolidations continue to take hold, opportunities for exceptional operators and suppliers do exist," says Fred Caito. "As a wholesaler, we are constantly repositioning ourselves to seize these opportunities. Our retail counterparts are doing the same. They continue to meet consumer demand by educating employees and offering enhanced perishable departments. As a result, increased distributions in meat, produce, deli, and bakery are serving as the calling card for those consumers who expect quality and outstanding service."
Does its constant repositioning give Caito Foods an edge over competing wholesalers? Asked about his competitors, Philip Caito assures me that his company faces none greater than itself. "We've established very high standards for Caito Foods and our next generation of leaders. Every day we compete with ourselves to meet and exceed those standards."
The eldest Caito continues, "Honesty, integrity, concern for others—these are the foundation on which our company was built. Over the years, we've found that being honest sometimes means that you'll lose business. We've learned to accept that because we know of no other way to operate. Unfortunately, this industry often lacks integrity and that is difficult for me to accept. There are those who will say or do anything to entice a customer, but that's not Caito Foods. Dealers who look out only for themselves have no ethics; they are peddlers. Those who consistently look out for their customers? They are the true professionals."
The culture of Caito Foods and its passion for customers make a fascinating story. Asked by my editors in New York to describe the Caitos, I was not at a loss for words. Professional? Absolutely. Shy? Not hardly. To that, add innovative, intelligent, and extremely patriotic.
Fifty-four years ago, a man named Philip Caito Jr. encouraged his sons to sell bananas to neighbors and friends and inspired a work ethic that is today beyond compare. "Our father taught us long ago that work is the most honorable thing you can do in life," says Joe Caito. "Every day, we pour our hearts and souls into serving our customers, associates, and ultimately our country. We're privileged to work in America because it truly is the greatest country club on earth. Yes, its dues are the highest, but nowhere in the world are there any greater rewards."

Rival coaches Ross Lyon and Chris Scott tried hard to avoid the superlatives when asked to assess Nat Fyfe's pivotal role in Fremantle's 44-point demolition job on Geelong.
But what they did say still spoke volumes about Fyfe, who edged his midfield cohorts David Mundy and Michael Barlow for best afield honours.
"I thought it was a pretty even team performance, but I know Nathan played pretty well," said Fremantle coach Lyon.
"He is pretty special in the air.
"I thought the longer it went, the better he got.
"He dominated the last quarter.
"They are great signs."
They were great numbers as well for Fyfe, who had 36 possessions, three goals and a game-high three contested marks in the 15.14 (104) to 9.6 (60) triumph.
"Don't ask me, ask the guys who play against him," said Geelong mentor Scott.
"They rate him pretty highly.
"They thought he was the best player in the comp last year (when he won the AFLPA most valuable player award) and based on the last couple of weeks it's hard to argue with."
The Dockers broke the contest open in the third quarter at Simonds Stadium on Sunday when they outscored the home team by seven goals to two.
Only a late goal from Mitch Clark prevented the Dockers from bettering their biggest-ever winning margin over Geelong, which remains at 45 points set back in 2002.
Having been bounced out of last year's finals series in straight sets, the Cats have now lost four straight games for the first time in nine years.
Sunday's 44-point loss also saw them start a season with an 0-2 win-loss record for the first time since 2004.
"It's two weeks in a row we've played really top-line midfields, and right at the moment we're not as good as they are," said Scott.
"We need to have a really good think about the mix of players we have in there, how we coach them, and how we adjust."
Brownlow medallist Jimmy Bartel (concussion) will return for next week's home clash against Gold Coast, while fellow midfield star Steven Motlop is almost certain to come straight back in after serving a club-imposed ban for drinking alcohol three days before the round-one loss to Hawthorn.
The Dockers have started the season with two impressive victories over Port Adelaide and the Cats, leaving them in great shape heading into next weekend's derby against West Coast.
The two-way running of the Fremantle midfield was central to both wins.
"We think we are a really good running team, which everyone does, but it is strength of mind as well," said Lyon.
"We worked hard over the summer, so when you reach for the work, it is there."
The only downside for Fremantle on Sunday was a final-quarter knee injury to tall utility Zac Clarke.
Geelong onballer Billie Smedts was reported in the fourth term for striking Docker Lee Spurr with his forearm.
Qualifying final: Hawthorn 15.14 (104) bt Geelong 10.8 (68) at MCG
Semi-final: North Melbourne 14.14 (98) bt Geelong 13.14 (92) at MCG
Rd 1: Hawthorn 17.21 (123) bt Geelong 8.13 (61) at MCG
Rd 2: Fremantle 15.14 (104) bt Geelong 9.6 (60) at Simonds Stadium

China is the next country on the Nokia Lumia 900 world tour and the flagship Windows Phone model is expected to be released on June 16th according to WPDang. The device has already managed to find its way into the hands of a few Chinese users who have imported the U.S. version of the phone. The official Chinese release is expected to be offered minus some features from the Stateside version, such as Xbox Live. The report says that similar to the way that the Nokia Lumia 800c was launched in China, the Nokia Lumia 900 will be sold with a Bluetooth headphone in the box. (In case you're wondering about the lower case 'c' in the Nokia Lumia 800c, it signifies that the phone is a CDMA model, in this case heading for China Telecom's network).
WPDang could put a crimp in sales. The site says that the Nokia Lumia 900 will be priced in China at a price above that of the Nokia 808 PureView. The latter is already available for pre-orders at a price of 4,688 CNY, equivalent to $736 USD. Considering that the Nokia 808 PureView has a major selling point with its 41MP camera, one would have expected the Nokia Lumia 900 to be priced below the PureView model.
If the Nokia Lumia 900 is indeed tagged higher than 4,688 CNY, it will come close to the price of the Apple iPhone in the country which is 4,988 CNY ($783 USD). Currently, imports of the Nokia Lumia 900 are being smuggled into the black market for as low as 3,700 CNY which includes all of the functions that will be removed from the Chinese variant of the phone. If the report is legitimate, Nokia might have to review its pricing decision on the model if it wants the Nokia Lumia 900 to be competitive in the country.

John Graeme Noseworthy, Strategic Messaging Director – Big Data for Marketing, Media and Entertainment, IBM is a marketer on a mission. Whilst Graeme's focus is to develop and deliver the messaging and marketing that demonstrate the value that IBM's Pure Data Systems and Big Data Platform deliver to digital marketing, media and entertainment professionals and their CMOs around the world, he remains extremely passionate about data-driven marketing and what it can do for marketers if leveraged correctly.
Given numerous challenges for leveraging data optimally for marketers today, Graeme shares few tips for marketers that will help them in their journey to Big Data market analytics in the form of what he calls the 'Four Es of Data and Analytics':
Educate – A proper understanding of what Big Data and analytics mean to your organisation and how you define it, how the marketplace in and around your industry and your competition are either applying or not applying analytics for operations.
Explore – Exploring possibilities encapsulates thinking big and understanding all the possibilities you can explore with Big Data.
Engage – Moving from learning to applying. Find a small starting point; it is critical that marketers talk to their partners in technology. Everybody needs to collaborate for mutual success, which brings you to the next area of the ability to execute.
Execute – This is the phase where the organisation actually starts delivering smarter customer experiences.
"If you can accomplish these, you won't believe what you can do," concluded Graeme.

Intresting question. First, let me say that at 45 I do not see permenance in the same way that you do, and I too am a Scorpio!! Lol! But, if I was to choose in the narrow parameter that you say, intensity or boredom, I would choose intensity. Always great to visit you!!! Have a great weekend!!ReplyDelete
Hi Joy, good title for the article. For years I chose intensity because it just felt so good! Then somewhere along the way I found myself in the middle of a psychology thesis on this very subject. And here's basically what I learned. Intensity is addictive. Women (married or not) are drawn toward certain men because they are attracted to that force of passion that is lacking in their lives. So it's mainly the addictive personality types that are addicted to intensity. And, as it turns out, the men they are addicted to are sex addicts. So there you go. I'll take permanence over passion for this reason, especially since learning that intensity is so ephemeral. Consuming passion is great while it lasts, but the thing is, it only lasts so long: ( Balance, as you say, is key.ReplyDelete
"You can't just walk the whole time. You have to vary your speed and incline and keep on challenging your self. Relationships aren't that much different really. You need both passion as well as sustainability. You have to try to preserve some mystery without exhausting your partner to the limit."
Exactly. I've been with my husband for 14 years. Passion wanes and peaks - and that's all good. It keeps things fresh and interesting. :D
I like how you compared relationships to running/exercising. I sure hope that intensity and permanence are not mutually exclusive! --Christine @ Why We Love Green, visiting form VBReplyDelete
Joy, I dont like to think of these qualities of a relationship as mutually exclusive. For me, being such a romantic, I want the whole kit and kaboodle and at this stage of my life (mid 50s) I feel so very blessed that I have found someone who provides both. Whilst the lustful meanderings of early love wont last forever, it cant - there are stil qualities in relationships that are intense in different ways, igniting passion, deep love, fun and joy. I think its all in the intrepretation of what the words mean. To me permanence does not mean boredom, it means commitment, bonding, exploration and journeying together.ReplyDelete
You need both! Intensity and permanence -I have always had high expectations! I used to have lots of theories about all the necessary ingredients. Then, 15 years ago, I met my husband. And I decided to live and not think too much. I never looked back!ReplyDelete
MuMuGB is right, you need both! As you question maybe it is wrong to equate permanence with boredom? Surely both is available. I like Maureen's definition of permanence: commitment, bonding, exploration and journeying. . yep, that's what I'm going to look for.
Josie x
Hey Joy,
I think those two qualities are just two of the requirements of many others elements that make up a relationship. Though it changes over individuals over what they would find more essential as the core requirement but yes, permanence is something everyone would hope for ;)
Yes I agree Maureen (with your definitions). It 's just that the way the question was phrased (meant to be an ice breaker) seemed as if they were meant to be mutually exclusive, which is how I dealt with it...ergo, equating 'permanence' with 'non-intensity / absence of intensity'.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for that Debra! It's interesting that you say that about the addictive personality. Just recently I've decided to borrow one of my friend's labels to label myself, 'intensity junkie'. Go figure! LOL!ReplyDelete
It's REALLY hard work, isn't it, Sam? *understatement ba?* Hahahahah!ReplyDelete
It's good to have balance, as I've said. Tough to achieve though and find that right formula. Good for you, Muriel!ReplyDelete
Yes, permanence doesn't necessarily mean 'boring', but I had to look at it that way if I were to look at the two terms as mutually exclusive (I think that was the purpose of the book / the question...meant to break the ice and put people on the spot). Both are available (I'd like to think that too, yes)....but it's hard to find the balance...I think.ReplyDelete
I also agree with Muriel... ideally you get both. But if I really have to chose, I'm going with intensity. Having stability is wonderful but if you're stable and bored out of your mind what good is it? And having said that, I've been with the same man for almost 24 years (married for 17 of them). And all I'm going to say is, I'm not bored =)ReplyDelete
Intensity rocks, doesn't it, Lalia?....if we HAD TO choose :-)) Fortunately not all of us have to as you get both! Way to go!!ReplyDelete
Hi Joy -
I'm still trying to get a date so either one to choose at this time is futile. I suppose if I had to make a choice I would take the intensity first, and work on the stability while intensely kissing her passionately. Again, anyone have any cute single sisters,,,neighbors,,,co-workers? :)
I would hope that the two are not mutually exclusive and over a period of years (30) with the same man as others have said the intensity waxes and wanes. Does permanence mean boredom? It depends on whether you work at it. Yes, in a long term relationship there is a certain amount of the humdrum, everyday routine. But it doesn't exclude intensity. I'm Cancerian, so I'm the homemaker etc. but if these two were to be mutually exclusive, I would choose intensity. Nothing in this life is permanent. Our worlds can change overnight. I would rather feel something intensely than choose boredom if this is to be the definition. Am I an addictive personality? I don't think so. I'm definitely an emotional one.ReplyDelete
I don't think a long relationship has to be boring or not intense, and what good is intensity if it doesn't last? Love is love, and the expectation that is has to be constantly dramatic is what keeps people from truly experiencing it. IMHO, lol! Interesting post!ReplyDelete
Interesting discussion and one that I've thought a lot about over the past 6 months or so. I think as we age we do one of 2 things 1) go seek something much more exciting than what we have 2) create a new definition of love, excitment (permanence). I watch as some of my friends seek excitment and most of the time it's not pretty. Working hard to make the most out of the choices I've made, now there is the intensity I need to focus on. Great post!ReplyDelete
Excellent points you made TV! I particularly loved your very last point! Thanks so much for that!ReplyDelete
...work on stability while passionately kissing...that's sounds like an excellent plan Brian!ReplyDelete
My first reaction was Permanence. Then, as I read on, why not both? A balance. Definitely more desirable, if not always attainable. I think, whatever they tell you, there is a moment when a decision is made or the intensity wears out but enough remains for permanence. So I went with Intensity, but the kind you describe at the end of the post. That Intensity that took me through the years and made me feel fulfilled even when the object of this intensity was not there, and in the end, it simmered into a lifelong taper of light, always burning, sometimes rekindling for a few short hours, never lost even after death. So in the end, Intensity turned into Permanence though not the usual kind.ReplyDelete
I LOVE your comment Penelope..."it simmered into a lifelong taper of light, always burning, sometimes rekindling for a few short hours, never lost even after death. " To have that kind of love......amazing! Anyway, as expected, everyone wants both....BUT...if you were to choose only ONE, I guess it's safe to assume you're choosing intensity too? ;-)))ReplyDelete

Smalling insists he is happy at Man Utd
Chris Smalling has stated that he is eager to extend his stay at Manchester United and says he is not interested in reports of a move to Arsenal next summer.
The United defender has been linked with Arsenal on a few occasions in the last couple of years, but he has stressed he is keen to extend his current Old Trafford contract that runs out in the summer of 2016.
"I am enjoying it. I always have, and if I can contribute then I am happy to stay for as long as they want me," said Smalling when quizzed on his United future.
When asked if he was happy to wait until the end of the season to start negotiations, Smalling replied: "Yeah, and finish as strong as we can.
"If I can contribute as much as I can then I will be very happy. I have not even really discussed it with anyone.
"It's a case of the manager showing his faith in me and if I am playing I am happy and we have another eight games to finish as strong as we can.
"There aren't any negotiations (under way) that I am aware of. I don't really take care of that."
Meanwhile, Radamel Falcao has insisted he is still committed to Manchester United, even though his loan spell from Monaco looks unlikely to be converted into a full-time contract next summer.
Juventus are said to be keen to sign the Colombian striker who has struggled to make his mark at Old Trafford this season, but he is not thinking about his future just yet.
"Juventus looking for me? They talk a lot, but now I'm focused 100 per cent on Manchester United," he told Colombian radio.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is putting new cash to good use as it updates its technology to make investigations easier and more efficient.
Gone are the days when boxes of documents lined
hallways and offices, replaced by data stored on computer systems with paper backups kept offsite, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
The SEC is more likely to quickly discover problems at brokerage firms, mutual funds and public companies thanks to an upswing in its technology budget, which went jumped from less than $47 million two years ago to $120 million, Dow Jones reported.
Flush with new cash, "they are in a better position today than they were five years ago," Orice Williams, acting director for financial markets and community investment at the Government Accountability Office, told Dow Jones.
The SEC is using hardware and software to ferret out âsmoking gunsâ in e-mails as well as files deleted from hard drives. Searchable electronic files are also aiding investigators.
"We're actively using that technology today and we're going to be doing a lot more of it," R. Corey Booth, director of the SEC's information-technology office, told Dow Jones.
The SEC is also making use of secure websites to help gain quick access to all kinds of electronic data.
Another technological advance is the use of a data "tagging" system known as XBRL. This experiment, which has been tested by Morgan Stanley and Microsoft, could make it easier for investors, analysts and SEC staffers to analyze corporate performance and spot results out of line with the past or with other companies, Dow Jones reported.
"It will make us more efficient, it will make us more productive and I hope it will make us better," Alan Beller, head of the SEC corporation finance division, which reviews public companies, told Dow Jones.

Here is a simple tip that can be found in any diet/weightloss/fat loss program. Keep a food journal. There's no better way to keep track of what you're eating than by logging it. Record every morsel that goes into your mouth. This will help you keep a tally on your caloric intake. In the event you hit a weight-loss plateau, you can look back and see what foods could be preventing you from losing. All you need is a spiral notebook and a pen to keep tabs on your eating behaviors
Even if you do this for one week you can get an idea of what you are eating and how many calories you are putting into your body over and above what you need for daily energy requirements. I found that writing down the times also helps you see what your eating habits are.

Plant Base provides detailed information about garden and wild plants - directly from your own computer. There is no dependency on an internet connection, so always available in seconds and the plant data is entirely under your control.
Enables searching by names and a multitude of other characteristics, helping you to select the best plants for your next garden project or growing season.
Search results or individual plant names can be saved in personal plant lists.
Everything is recorded within the database files on your hard-drive (or optionally external storage). Plant Base uses an active read/write database, all plant data is fully editable by the end-user. Add your own information and photos to create a uniquely personal plant reference resource, customised to your specific needs. In fact, whilst we supply a database loaded with thousands of plant records and pictures, specialist users may prefer to start with an empty database and then build a chosen collection of plant information records and images.
Plant Base is designed as a straightforward plant information encyclopedia and all its features are focused on this. Though built around a powerful database system, no technical skills are needed. The emphasis of the application is on a functional, no-nonsense approach to usability and considerable flexibility. There are no frills, but it is fast, simple to run and uses no unnecessary computer resources.
Each plant is described by a large number of standard elements such as size and colour, accompanied by text notes and pictures. Plants may be searched by any of these as selection criteria. Plant varieties are alphabetically sequenced by botanical name (Latin, binomial), but can be located by their common name if preferred. There is also allowance for alternative names (synonyms).
The ability to save personal plant lists is an important feature. They have many uses, from simple lists that 'bookmark' interesting plants to planting design project schedules. Each list may be freely named and there is no limit to the number stored. They can be easily exported for use in an external program if required.

Simple Invites Shapes
Some simple to make invites are:
Divide the group into 2 teams and line them up. Have the person in each line grab a handful of sand from a container. They must pass the sand to the next player, who passes it to the next, and so on down the line. When the sand reaches the last player, he/she pours what is left of it on a plate. The team with the most sand wins the game. (You may have to weigh the sand on a food scale if it's close.)
The party day does need a good schedule of events.

SANTIAGO, June 23 (Reuters) - The world's No. 1 copper producer Codelco is expected to make its decision on who to partner with to develop its lithium assets in the first quarter of next year, Chile's Mining Minister Aurora Williams told Reuters on Thursday.
Lithium is an important ingredient in rechargeable batteries and is used in electric cars. Annual demand for lithium is forecast to more than double by 2020 from 95,000 tonnes now.
Most lithium is produced in Australia and Chile, with the bulk of the world's reserves straddling huge salt flats in Chile, Bolivia and Argentina.
At the beginning of the year Chile's government asked Codelco to study the production potential of its Maricunga and Pedernales salt flats.
With the study in hand "Codelco will be able to have a business model and look for a partner in the first quarter next year, which in practice will allow it to develop Maricunga and/or Pedernales," said Williams.
Major global lithium producers include Chile's SQM . (Reporting by Fabian Cambero, writing by Anthony Esposito; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)

text: But last year marked a turning point in the Wall Street pay saga: Nearly all of the big bailout cases had returned their government money and were able to make compensation decisions on their own. Their pay packages are being closely watched as an indication of whether big banks are installing proper risk-management and incentive strategies. So far, it's hard to find a common theme. Citi's board boosted CEO Vikram Pandit's base salary to $1.75 million last year from $1 the previous year, as the firm returned to profitability. Bank of America ( BAC) left CEO Brian Moynihan's base salary unchanged for 2010 and shifted much of his bonus into stock, as its stock price lagged and the company lost billions of dollars. The head of its investment bank, Thomas Montag, got a much higher salary than Moynihan, but much of it was also weighted in restricted stock. Additionally, the firm is reportedly offering traders a much higher percentage of their salaries in cash than competing firms. It's yet to be seen whether the lucrative packages lead BofA to become a better trading enterprise. The best trading performance during the fourth quarter actually came from JPMorgan Chase ( JPM), which deftly navigated tough conditions in the credit markets. But during 2010, the average pay per person at declined at JPMorgan, because the firm hired more people and the bonus pool shrank. It's not clear what CEO Jamie Dimon will receive, since the firm hasn't reported the information yet in a regulatory filing. Neither has Wells Fargo ( WFC), which doesn't have a large presence in Wall Street trading activities. On the other hand, Goldman Sachs ( GS) CEO Lloyd Blankfein got a big salary and bonus bump despite the firm's profit decline. Morgan Stanley ( MS) CEO James Gorman is reportedly getting a cut in pay and lowering traders' compensation, despite the company's better performance in 2010 as it moves forward on a restructuring plan. -- Written by Lauren Tara LaCapra in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Lauren Tara LaCapra. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/laurenlacapra. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Apart from getting teased during my early school years, I've been called and considered ''the weird girl'' back then.
Weird things about me:
- Certain times laughing at inappropriate times if I remember something funny but I'm not crazy
- Have a bad sense of humor (laughing at things that aren't funny and vice-versa)
- Certain times focusing on one particular thing and too concentrated in having it done
- Elaborating a bit on certain topics I know very well (I realize this might get some people bored)
- Very few friends and sometimes an introvert
- Can't keep neverending conversations but try my best
- Move my hands when I'm explaining things (well my father noticed this, I had no idea till one day I caught myself doing it)

Personally, I wouldn't consider any of those things turn-offs at all. They're all little quirks that are a part of who you are as a person, and most of them sound really cute and adorable to me.11|00|0
True that's me and I can't help it. I used to get judged at school (much more in grade and junior high than HS) a lot for being kind of awkward.
Been there, gone through that. It'd only make me love you more...

Question: Some activists object to Axe s male focused marketing they claim that
Some activists object to Axe's male-focused marketing; they claim that its commercials demean women. On the other hand, Dove's campaign has been applauded because it promotes a healthy body image for girls. Guess what? Unilever owns both Axe and Dove. Is it hypocritical for a big company to sponsor positive messages about women in one of its divisions while its ends a different message in another?

Most people who met him agree he is a very friendly and smiling man. I can myself add he is very open, always keen for adventure and ready to help people out.
On this 25th of May 2014, at the French hospital of Hanoi, Manny died during an operation for an intestine occlusion.
All I can hope is for him to have had a happy life, though it was short. It was an honor to share a bit of travel adventure with him. Sharing the good times as the hard ones, sometimes angry towards each other, but always good friends!
RIP Manny.

I had transferred to this competitive business school. On the first day of school, I was eager to make friends and converse with others to start off fresh.
I was chatting with this guy who was a seat away, who was equally polite and nice to me as I was to him. After conversing with him I turned to the girl beside me to talk to her, and before she exchanged pleasantries, she snapped at me saying, 'everyone is really smart.'
I got taken aback. I knew she was trying to insult me because I came from outside of the school, but didn't react to her and instead kept my cool.
I always saw it as her trying to 'put me in my place,' because I was being friendly with the other guy, who she conveniently is now dating.
Why was she so bitchy to me?

John VI (Greek: Ιωάννης ΣΤ΄, Iōannēs VI ), Patriarch of Constantinople from 712 to 715.
John VI was placed on the patriarchal throne in 712 by Emperor Philippikos, as a replacement for the deposed Patriarch Kyros. John was favored by Philippikos, because he shared his Monothelite sympathies. The religious policy of the new patriarch and his emperor caused the temporary rupture of relations with the Roman Church. However, in 715 the new Emperor Anastasios II deposed John VI and replaced him with the Orthodox Patriarch Germanos I.

Summary: Obi-Wan begins training Kayla Trono, but trouble begins not long after and Kayla's life is put at risk due to an unexpected jealousy.
Disclaimer: I have no connections to the cast, crew, or the makers of Star Wars. I'm just a huge fan.
Author's Note: This fic takes place not long after the death of Qui-Gon. Yes, this is AU!
Chapter 1-Meeting With Master Windu
He glanced up from a letter he had been reading. "Are you all right, Kayla? You look like you've been crying." He said as soon as he saw the expression on her face. He sounded concerned.
"I'm fine, Master. I was just thinking about my father and it made me sad." She faked a small smile to prove she was all right.
He just nodded and said, "I know you miss him. I miss Master Qui-Gon too. It's normal to miss those that have died. Especially when they are those that are close to us." He shot her a sympathetic smile.
"Thank you, Master." Kayla said. Then, she asked, "Was there something you needed?"
"We've been ordered by the Council to go to the outer rim of Naboo to handle a trade dispute. They are well aware that you haven't been there since your father was killed. They are also aware that he was killed there too, but our presence is desperately needed." Obi-Wan said.
"I understand, Master." Kayla said and sighed. "How soon do we leave?" She looked away, as Master Mace Windu walked past them. She nodded a greeting and managed a slight smile.
He looked at them and asked, "I should of told you before, but the two of you will have to take Anakin with you too."
Kayla and Obi-Wan nodded in agreement, as Master Windu started to walk away. He got as far as a few feet away, when he remembered something. He turned around and added, "The three of you will leave within the hour."
Kayla nodded at the same time as Obi-Wan said, "Yes, Master."
Then, Master Windu walked away from them. He headed toward the temple to talk to Master Yoda.
Kayla and Obi-Wan went to find Anakin. They stopped just outside of his room and Obi-Wan knocked on the door. He could hear soft crying coming from inside the young boy's room, so he left Kayla in the hallway, while he went inside to check on Anakin.
Anakin was sitting on his bed. His back was toward the doorway and his shoulders were shaking, as he wept.
Obi-Wan went over to him and he held the young boy. He spoke soft words of sympathy and support as he did. He knew that not only did Anakin miss Qui-Gon. He was also crying because he misses his mother too.
After Anakin calmed down, he shot an embarrassed smile toward Obi-Wan. He was given a smile in return.
"It's all right, Anakin. No need to apologize." Obi-Wan said reassuringly. Remembering Kayla was still in the hallway, he called out to her.
She walked into the room and approached them both. "Is he all right, Master?" She asked, worriedly.
After reaching for a tissue and blowing his nose in it, Anakin nodded and Kayla smiled sympathetically. "I miss my father too, Ani. It's okay." She walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"Thanks, Kayla." Anakin said to her, as he stood up. "What's going on? Did we get an assignment from the Council?"
Obi-Wan filled him in on their assignment. He was proud of Kayla for being so supportive of Anakin. He was well aware that she knew how rough it has been on the boy ever since Qui-Gon Jinn was killed. He stood up and said, "we should get going."
Both Anakin and Kayla responded by saying, "yes, Master." Then, they followed him out of the room and toward their transport. All three were carrying light sabers in their belt loops and a serious expression on their faces.
What neither Kayla or Obi-Wan knew was that Anakin was also hiding a different emotion back from them. This was jealousy. He felt that if Obi-Wan had never of found Kayla in that prison and rescued her, he would be his Master's only apprentice. He also wouldn't have to share him with Kayla.
Anakin was quiet the entire trip to Naboo. He read a book he had brought with him. He didn't seem to notice that Kayla glanced over at him a few times to make sure he was all right.
Chapter 2-Arrival On Naboo
After awhile, Kayla fell asleep, but it wasn't a peaceful sleep. After an hour, she woke up shaking from fear. She was terrified. She let out a shaky sigh, as she quickly glanced over at Obi-Wan.
Sensing that something was wrong, he hurried back to his seat, which was right next to Kayla's. He sat down and he pulled his young Padawan into his arms for a hug to try and calm her down. After sobbing for several minutes, she gradually fell asleep.
Several hours later, they reached Naboo. Anakin stood up and he walked over to where Obi-Wan was gently shaking Kayla awake. She groaned, as she slowly opened her deep green eyes and she looked at Obi-Wan. Realizing her cheeks were still wet from crying a second time, she wiped her tears away and shot him an apologetic smile.
"We've arrived on Naboo, Master." Anakin reported to them. He quickly glanced in Kayla's direction. "Are you all right?" He sounded a little concerned about her.
"I'll be fine, Ani. Thank you." She said to him. "We better go." She glanced at Obi-Wan and he nodded in agreement. He stood up and with his Padawans following, he headed out and toward the Queen's castle.
About halfway to the castle, the three had to go over a quiet part of town. There was no one out walking and the windows were covered up with white cloth.
"That's strange. I was under the impression they knew we were coming." Obi-Wan said.
Master, someone or something is watching us. I'm sensing a disturbance in the force." Kayla reported to him. She tried desperately to remain calm, as she scoped the area.
"I sense it too, Master." Anakin agreed.
"Stay alert." Obi-Wan told them. Sighing, he said, "I sense it too."
Chapter 3-Dangers At Every Turn
Kayla sighed. "That was weird." She said. She cradled the flower in her hand, until she pricked her thumb on a thorn from the flower. "Ouch!" She immediately started to feel lightheaded and she dropped to her knees.
Anakin knelt down next to her, as Obi-Wan stomped on the flower with his boot. Then he knelt down on Kayla's other side. He looked genuinely concerned. "Kayla, are you all right?" He asked.
She couldn't answer. She collapsed into his arms.
"We need to find shelter fast." Obi-Wan said, as he scanned the area around them. It was then that he spotted the Queen's castle not far from them. "There!"
Nodding in agreement, Anakin said, "Let's go!"
Obi-Wan carried the young girl to the Queen's castle and they went inside. Sighing, he laid Kayla down and he knelt down next to her, as one of the Queen's bodyguards came rushing over to them.
"What happened?" The bodyguard asked, as he knelt down next to them. "Who is she?"
Brushing a hair out of Kayla's eyes, Anakin said, "Kayla Trono. She's Master Kenobi's other Padawan Learner." Glancing at Obi-Wan, they both noticed the sadness in each other's eyes.
"It was a blue and pink flower. We need to know if there is some kind of antidote." Obi-Wan said. He looked up at the Bodyguard.
The Bodyguard looked very serious, as he said, "There is no known cure. The flower you spoke of can only be found up in the mountains. Our scientists have never done tests on those flowers, so we don't know much about them."
"Is their anyone who might? The flower was given to her by a guy in a red robe." Anakin said.
The Bodyguard's eyes looked at him in shock. "Red robe? The guy was a Sith in disguise."
Obi-Wan and Anakin both looked stunned. "The wrong person knows we're here then. It must have been a poison posy." Obi-Wan said and sighed frustrated.
Anakin nodded in agreement. "We need to know more about them and get an antidote. Master, we can't lose Kayla."
"We won't, my Padawan." Obi-Wan said, reassuringly. He placed a calming hand on Anakin's shoulder.
Chapter 4-Kayla's Nightmare
She was running from house to house looking for her father. She could sense that he was in one of them and that he was in pain. "Dad!" She screamed, as she continued to look. She came to one final house. It wasn't locked, so she turned the handle on the door. Her eyes opened wide, as she began to walk inside. "Dad?" She said, again as she looked around. "Where are you?"
"Kayla, find me!" Ren's voice called out. "Please, Baby!" His voice was full of desperation and pain.
"Daddy!" She screamed. She walked up the staircase to the second floor and she opened door after door. Someone prevented her from opening the last door. She could hear her father's voice on the other side of it. "Dad, open the door!"
"It's not real, Kayla." It was now Obi-Wan's voice that she was hearing. "Your father isn't here."
"How do I turn this dream around, Master?" She asked him.
"By focusing on the moment. Don't lose yourself in the dream." He said to her.
She nodded sleepily, as she began to awaken. She knew before she had woken up, that he was sitting next to her. "Master?"
"It's all right. I'm here, Kayla." Obi-Wan said, trying to calm her. He had come to check on her. She was now laying down on a cot, in what looked like a medical facility.
"I thought I heard my father in the dream. It sounded just like him." She said. She sounded scared, yet tired.
He sighed, as he placed his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her. "Dreams are like that, my Padawan. They tend to fool you into thinking that your hearing those that you have lost." His voice was soft and reassuring.
"I heard you too." She said.
"All I did was bring you out of your dream." He explained. "Why don't you get some rest? Anakin went to help them find an antidote."
"Yes, Master." She said. She closed her eyes, as she allowed herself to relax enough to go back to sleep. She mumbled to herself, as she drifted off to sleep.
He sat with her for the next few hours, as she slept. He was incredibly worried about her. He hoped Anakin would return soon with the antidote. He let out a tired and sad sigh, as he glanced at Kayla. He was relieved that she was now in a peaceful slumber. He just hoped it would remain that way for awhile.
Chapter 5-Finding The Antidote
examined one of the flowers under a microscope and he sighed. "Anything that I can do to help?" He asked.
The scientist glanced up at him and nodded. "We need another flower like this one. It's so we can make enough to help your friend." He sighed, as he glanced in Anakin's direction. "If we don't get this made in time, she may die before the hour is up."
"Then, I better hurry. Let Master Kenobi know where I went. I'll be back as soon as I can-with the flower." Anakin said, as he rushed over to the doorway. Make sure the rest of the antidote ingredients are ready, by the time I get back." Then, he rushed out the door and he headed for the mountains.
He searched for the next forty-five minutes, before he found the flower. Unfortunately, it would take him twenty minutes to get back. He knew he was cutting the time close, but after the way he had behaved towards Kayla, he felt he owed it to her. He quickly headed back to the lab and the antidote was quickly made.
He rushed into the facility, with the doctor close behind him. "Master, we have the antidote." He said, as he rushed to Kayla's bedside. He took her hand in his own, as the antidote was injected into her arm.
She groaned softly in pain, as she opened her eyes slightly. She looked directly at Anakin and said, "Thank you."
He smiled lightly at her. "Your welcome. Just be careful the next time a nice guy offers you a flower, okay?" He joked.
"Don't worry, Ani." She said, calling him by his childhood nickname. "From now on, the only flowers I will accept, will be from you or Master Obi-Wan." She let herself relax, as she drifted back to sleep.
"Will she be all right?" Obi-Wan asked the doctor. They moved away from the two children, so they could speak privately. Obi-Wan still seemed concerned.
The doctor still seemed concerned. "We won't know if the antidote will work for another hour. She's still very weak. Does she have any living parents?"
"No. She lives with me at the Jedi Temple. She became my legal ward shortly after her father was killed here on Naboo. That was a few months ago." Obi-Wan explained to the doctor.
"So, your actually her foster parent, so to speak?" He asked. He wasn't too surprised, when he received a nod in response. "Very well. I'll keep you informed of her condition, Master Kenobi." Then he walked away and left. He headed back to the lab.
Obi-Wan returned to Kayla's beside.
Chapter 6-Visit From Padme
He smiled, when he looked up at her. "Hello." He yawned tiredly.
"I heard about Kayla. Is their anything I can do?" She asked.
He shook his head. "I wish there was. I'm afraid its all up to Kayla now." He sounded sad, as he spoke. "I just hope she doesn't give up."
Padme sat down and the two old friends chatted softly for awhile. He spoke of how proud he was of both Kayla and Anakin. He also spoke of how this was affecting him. After awhile, she stood up and left.
Obi-Wan sat there thinking about what him and Padme had discussed. He looked over and noticed that Kayla was beginning to wake up again. "Kayla?" He said, as he leaned forward a little.
Hearing his voice, she opened her eyes and looked up at him. "Master." She said, and smiled slightly. "Anakin?"
Hearing Kayla say his name, Anakin hurried over to her. "I'm here, Kayla. How are you feeling?" He asked, giving Obi-Wan a worried glance.
She groaned and said, "not as tired as I was before." She sighed. "How long am I going to have to remain lying down? I'd like to sit up."
They helped her to, just as the doctor came in. He examined her and they were all pleased to hear that she would be fine. He left and they chatted happily for the next few hours. By now, Anakin had overcome his jealousy of Kayla and the two were getting along once again.

There are a number of areas that we believe offer the potential for diversifying away from term-structure risk and that offer attractive valuations and cash flow potential. Importantly, these sectors all share a common characteristic: They represent tiny fractions of the Agg, and the sources of risk they entail are far more diverse and much less contingent on declining interest rates to fuel returns.
A more comprehensive view of risks leads to a broader range of opportunities
