International Shipping Terms Glossary
The Automated Export System (AES) allows electronic filing of the Shippers Export Declaration (SED) and ocean manifest information directly to U.S. Customs Automated Export Declaration Filing.
ASTM International is one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world and a trusted source for technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services. Known for their high technical quality and market relevancy, ASTM International Standards have an important role in the information infrastructure that guides design, manufacturing and trade in the global economy.
Transportation of goods or product by airplane. Lower shipping costs may apply for certain commodities and destinations.
air waybill (airbill)
A shipping document used by the airlines for airfreight. A non-negotiable contract for carriage that includes carrier conditions such as limits of liability, shipping instructions, a description of commodities, and applicable transportation charges.
all cargo aircraft
An aircraft dedicated to the carriage of cargo only, rather than the combination of passengers and cargo.
ALSC
The American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) is comprised of manufacturers, distributors, users, and consumers of lumber. It serves as the standing committee for the American Softwood Lumber Standard and in accordance with PS 20 administers an accreditation program for the grade-marking of lumber. In addition, the ALSC administers accreditation programs for the quality marking of treated lumber for the labeling of wood packaging material produced under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Material in International Trade.
ancillary charges
Supplemental or additional charges levied over and above the quoted freight rate for transportation. Ancillary charges range from services such as two-man pick-up or delivery, lift-gate, and inside customs clearance, bunker adjustment fees, currency adjustment fees, on-carriage and value added taxes.
The bill of lading (BOL) is a document issued by the carrier to a shipper, signed by the captain, agent, or owner of the vessel, furnishing written evidence regarding receipt of goods (cargo), the conditions for transportation (contract of carriage), and the engagement to deliver goods at a prescribed port of destination to the lawful holder of the bill of lading. The BOL is a receipt for merchandise and a contract to deliver it as freight. There are many different types of bills of lading.
block & brace
Blocks are cut pieces of dimensional lumber which are typically fastened to the top deck of the structure or inside of a container. They are used to provide a railing around the edge of the product to block the product in place preventing shifting from side to side or front to back during transit. Bracing also prevents the lateral movement of the product within the container. Braces are secured to the interior walls and at times the inside top of the container.
Computer-aided design is the use of computer-based tools that assist engineers, architects and other design professionals in their design activities. Our staff utilizes CAD for wood crate design and review with your local crating company.
Insurance against loss and loss-by-damage to, or destruction of, cargo. Covers risks to goods and means of transportation involved in the transporting of goods over land or by inland waterways. Insurance on land-only shipments by truck or train, to or from places in the US, is usually considered to be inland marine insurance.
charter (air)
A lease or agreement to hire aircraft for the transport of goods to one or more destinations
charter (ship)
A ship leased by its owner or agent for a stated time, voyage or voyages.
The commercial invoice is a bill for goods from the seller to the buyer. These invoices are often used by governments to determine the true value of goods for the assessment of customs duties. Governments requiring the commercial invoice to control imports often specify its form, content, number of copy, language, and other characteristics.
consignee
The person or company named in a freight contract to whom goods have been shipped to for delivery or care.
A single rigid, sealed, reusable (metal) box in which product is shipped by vessel, air, truck or rail. Containers are designed and constructed to withstand normal stresses applied during regular transport.
container (air)
Air freight containers or ULDs (unit load devices) are made in different sizes and shapes to fit unique requirements of airplane holds. They conform to standards established by the International Airline Transport Association (IATA).
container (ocean)
Ocean shipping containers are generally 10, 20, 30 or 40 feet in length, 8 feet wide and 8 or 8, 5 feet high and conform to International Standards Organization (ISO) standards. Container types include: standard, high cube, hard top, open top, flat, platform, ventilated, insulated, refrigerated, and bulk.
corrugated box and container
Corrugated fiberboard, or combined board, has two main components; the linerboard and the medium bonded together by adhesives. Both are made from a heavy paper called containerboard. Linerboard is the flat facing that adheres to the medium. The medium is a wavy paper called a flute that is found between the linerboards. Corrugated is a durable, versatile and lightweight material used for custom-manufactured shipping containers. We use as a minimum 350 lb. Double Wall corrugated fiberboard which is made up of three sheets of linerboard with two mediums or flutes in between when building custom corrugated boxes.
crate (wooden)
A wood crate is a structural framework of members fastened together to form a rigid enclosure, which protects the contents during handling, shipping and storage. The enclosure is usually of square or rectangular design and may or may not be sheathed. With design and structural criteria based on strength, transportation hazards, lumber, fasteners, and space for product requirements, the effective engineering of crates for specific purposes becomes effective.
A cradle is U shaped in design, built to support and contain the unique requirements of cylindrical objects. Two or more cradles are mounted to a skid, pallet or load base; the base may or may not be covered with a sheathed enclosure.
cushioning systems
The quantity and density of cushioning materials such as polyethylene or polyurethane foams are determined based on the item characteristics as applied to density, shock value, drop, vibration, and recovery. Inadequate or improper use of cushioning products can damage or destroy the product during normal transportation conditions.
A loading or unloading platform at an industrial location or terminal. The space or waterway between piers for receiving a ship.
door to airport
Shipping service from shipper's door to the destination airport for pick up by consignee.
Shipping service from shipper's door to the destination door. The originating carrier may spot (place) a container outside of shipper's facility for loading by and at the expense of the shipper. The delivering carrier may place the container or goods outside of the consignee's facility for unloading by and at the expense of the consignee.
door to port
Shipping service from shipper's door to port of destination. The originating carrier may spot (place) a container outside of shipper's facility for loading by and at the expense of the shipper. The container will be transported by the shipper to the nearest agreed upon destination port or port of discharge. Not to be confused with destination, this may be a point inland.
dunnage
Loose packaging material used to secure freight during transportation. Dunnage can be used to keep product away from container walls, to separate products, as a void fill, to reduce shifting and to minimize abrasion. In ocean shipping dunnage refers to packing, typically wood, used to support, block and brace cargo within a container in order to keep the cargo from moving. May be wood, plastic, metal or air bags.
economy three to five day
Also referred to as deferred air usually moves on a space available basis and is not guaranteed to arrive on a given date or time.
An export includes all product, good, or commodity, transported from one country to another country in a legitimate manner. Export of goods requires involvement of Customs and other Government authorities in both the country of export and import.
Important note to exporters: ISPM 15 requirements apply to all coniferous (softwood) and non-coniferous (hardwood) packing materials including dunnage. U.S. Inspection Agencies control the issuance of the ALSC Quality Mark and the presence of the Quality Mark ensures WPM produced in the U.S. and destined for export meets the importing countries regulations.

export packing list
An export packing list is more detailed than a domestic packing list. The list contains itemized information in each individual package and indicates the type of package such as a corrugated box, wood crate, or drum. The list also shows the individual net, legal tare and gross weights and measurements for each package. Package markings should be noted with shippers and buyers references. U.S. and foreign customs officials may refer to the list to check the accuracy of the cargo.
first article inspection
First Article Inspection Report is a requirement placed on the supplier by the customer. The report documents and certifies that each first article unit delivered to the buyer was produced and inspected in accordance with the buyers specifications. The report includes all physical, material, and chemical test data associated with the part. These reports are provided to the buyer and kept on file by the supplier for a minimum of seven years or as required by the buyer.
FMCSA
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration was established as a separate administration within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) on January 1, 2000, pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999. The Primary mission of the FMCSA is to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. The FMCSA develops and enforces regulations for motor carrier (truck and bus) safety.
Goods, cargo, product or lading transported for pay by land air or water. Goods or merchandise for transportation. Items shipped fall into various categories depending on item description, size and weight.
full container load (FCL)
A shipment of cargo that fills a container by bulk or load. The term typically refers to ocean containers.
A shipment of cargo that fills a given container either by bulk or weight. Shipments larger than about 15,000 pounds are typically classified as "truckload" (TL). Truckload shipments may be up to 40,000 pounds or 53' long. Full truckload shipments typically travel as the only shipment on a trailer and deliver on the same trailer as they are picked up on.
harmonized code
A multipurpose international goods classification system used for classifying goods moving in international trade under a single commodity code.
The International Air Transport Association is the prime vehicle for inter-airline cooperation in promoting safe, reliable, secure and economical air services for the benefit of the world's consumers.
Ex Works (EXW) – the seller/exporter makes the goods available to the buyer/importer at the sellers/exporters door. Title, risk, payment of transportation and insurance pass to buyer at the seller's door.
Free Carrier (FCA) – the seller/exporter delivers the goods export cleared to a carrier named by the buyer. Title, risk, transportation and insurance pass to buyer when the seller delivers the goods to the carrier named by the buyer.
Free Alongside Ship (FAS) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and then places them alongside the vessel at the named port of shipment. The parties may stipulate in their contract that the buyer will clear the goods for export. Title, risk, payment of additional transportation and insurance pass to buyer once the goods are delivered alongside ship by the seller/exporter/manufacturer. Used only for sea and inland waterway transportation. Used only for ocean or inland waterway transport.
Free On Board (FOB) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for the costs and risks of delivering the goods past the ships rail at a named port. Title, risk, payment of additional transportation and insurance pass to buyer once the goods are delivered on board the ship by the seller/exporter/manufacturer.
Cost and Freight (CFR) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for the costs and risks of delivering the goods past the ships rail at a named port of shipment. The seller is responsible for paying the costs associated with transport of the goods to the named port of destination. However once the goods pass the ships rail at the port of shipment, the buyer assumes responsibility for risk of loss and damage as well as any additional transport costs. Used only for ocean or inland waterway transport.
Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for delivering the goods past the ships rail at a named port of shipment. The seller is responsible for paying the costs associated with transport of the goods to the named port of destination. However once the goods pass the ships rail at the port of shipment, the buyer assumes responsibility for risk of loss and damage as well as any additional transport costs. The seller is also responsible for procuring and paying for marine insurance in the buyers name for the shipment. Used only for ocean or inland waterway transport.
Carriage Paid To (CPT) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export, delivers them to the carrier, and is responsible for paying for carriage to the named place of destination. However, once the seller delivers the goods to the carrier, the buyer assumes responsibility for all additional costs risk of loss and damage as well as any additional transport costs including title, risk, insurance and transportation to destination. Used for any mode of transport.
Carriage and Insurance Paid To (CIP) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export, delivers them to the carrier, and is responsible for paying for carriage and insurance to the named place of destination. However, once the goods are delivered to the carrier, the buyer is responsible for all additional costs. Used for any mode of transport.
Delivered At Frontier (DAF) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for making them available to the buyer at the named point and place at the frontier, not unloads and not cleared for import. Naming the precise point, place and time of availability at the frontier is very important as the buyer must make arrangements to unload and secure the goods in a timely manner. Frontier can mean any frontier including the frontier of export. However, once the goods are delivered to the frontier, the buyer is responsible for all additional costs. Used for any mode of transport.
Delivered Ex Ship (DES) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for making them available to the buyer on board the ship at the named port of destination, not cleared for import. The seller is responsible for all costs associated with getting the goods to the named port of destination prior to unloading. However, once the goods are delivered to the named port the buyer is responsible for all additional costs. Used for ocean or inland waterway, or by multimodal transport where the final delivery is made on a vessel at the named port of destination.
Delivered Ex Quay (DEQ) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for making them available to the buyer on the quay (Warf) at the named port of destination, not cleared for import. The buyer therefore assumes all responsibilities for import clearance, duties, and other costs upon import as well as to the final destination. Used only for ocean or inland waterway.
Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for making them available to the buyer at the named place of destination. The buyer assumes all responsibilities for import clearance, duties, administrative costs, and other costs upon import as well as transport to the final destination. Used for any mode of transport.
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) – the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for making them available to the buyer at the named place of destination, cleared for import, but not unloaded from the transport vehicle. The seller, therefore, assumes all responsibilities for delivering the goods to the named place of destination, including import clearance, duties, and other costs upon import. Used when the named place of destination is other than the seaport or airport.
A document prepared by the shipper listing the kinds, quantities and values of the merchandise in a particular shipment. Crating companies require an itemized inventory prepared by the shipper for all shipments domestic and International. The inventory or packing list is instrumental for establishing not only the type, and quantity but also for establishing value per item in case of lost or damages during handling and transportation.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer of standards. Although ISO's principal activity is the development of technical standards, ISO standards also have important economic and social repercussions. ISO standards make a positive difference, not just to engineers and manufacturers for whom they solve basic problems in production and distribution, but to society as a whole. The ISO Standards are specific to a particular product, material, or process. However, the standards that have earned the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families a worldwide reputation are known as "generic management system standards".
ISPM15
International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 require all solid wood packing material to be heat treated and stamped with an official mark. ISPM 15 requirements apply to all hardwood and softwood (coniferous and non-coniferous) packaging materials. The standard does not apply to wood packaging made wholly of manufactured wood products such as plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, or products created using glue, heat and pressure or a combination of these.
The second alternative, Fumigation with Methyl Bromide (MB), while still acceptable is being phased out because of environmental reasons. The fumigator must be registered in the program in order to issue the ALSC Quality Mark.

labels and marks
All shipping containers such as wooden crates and corrugated boxes must be labeled identifying consignee name and destination address. The package may also be marked with handling and shipping instructions identifying the contents and or warnings such as Keep Dry, This Side Up, Lift Here and Center of Gravity. The handling instructions are typically done with standard pictorial markings and symbols recognized worldwide. In the U.S.A. refer to ASTM Standard D5445 for over 30 symbols and reference ISO 780 for International markings and symbols.
less than container load (LCL)
A shipment of cargo that does not fill a container and is merged with cargo for more than one consignee or from more than one shipper. A container may be packed with LCL cargo at a container freight station usually at port of departure.
less than truck load (LTL)
A shipment weighing less than the weight or volume for the application of a truck load rate which is merged with cargo for more than one consignee or from more than one shipper. The product must be crated and or palletized for a mixed-freight environment which is intermingled with other shipments on a single piece of equipment and typically unloaded and reloaded across multiple pieces of equipment during the transport. LTL represents the majority of "freight" shipments and are often referred to as "motor freight."
load base
The purpose of a load base also referred to as a pallet is to support the product load, and consolidate and contain the product or unitized loads during transportation and handling. The most commonly used load base (pallet) in the United States is the stringer pallet with a footprint of 48" by 40" allowing either two-way or four way entry. Your crating company may design and build custom load base pallets for the specific product, allowing ease of handling and transportation of most any size and weight.
load stabilizer
A wide variety of materials and methods are used to stabilize the load during handling and transportation; in order to minimize shifting which would subject the product and or equipment to damages. Stretch-wrapping, heat-shrink, metal and nylon banding, adhesives, air bags, slip sheets, kick-blocks, and bracing are some of the methods.
Logistics is the overall management of relocating resources to where they are required. It involves the integration of transportation, inventory, warehousing, handling, packaging, crating, pick-up and delivery.

motor freight
Motor freight is the transport of freight or goods by truck or motor vehicle.
museum packaging and crating
The combination of conservation handling, preparation and packaging of items such as paintings, paper, stone, plaster, furniture, wood objects, textiles, and other materials, to meet or exceed museum and conservation standards; in order to protect the items during storage, handling and transportation. The type of product, risk, age, condition, climate, humidity and temperature conditions at origin, during transport and destination; and considerations for shock and vibration during handling, storage and transportation are factored into the packaging design.
The act of transporting cargo or freight overnight for delivery or availability the following (next) business day; next day usually moves by air but may be accomplished by ground (hot shot) depending on the distance.
ocean freight or sea cargo
A freight service for transporting your products over the sea or ocean by vessel commonly referred to as a steamship. The three means of shipping products by ocean vessel are; bulk, break-bulk, and containerized. The means you select depends on the type of cargo you are shipping, the size of the shipment and the handling. Ocean transportation takes longer than shipments by air, but the cost of transportation can be lower.
ocean (marine) insurance OMI
OMI (ocean marine insurance) covers the interests of shippers, consignees, distributors, and others in goods and merchandise shipped primarily by water or, if in foreign trade, also by air. Note: In the us, marine insurance is defined so broadly as to have resulted in a division of the field into 2 branches- inland (or dry) marine and ocean (or wet) marine. What is called "ocean marine insurance" in the US is known internationally as "marine insurance. OMI (ocean marine insurance) is principally associated with oceangoing vessels and their cargoes. It also covers international air shipments as well as transportation by land or air that connects with an international ocean or air shipment.
Ocean Transportation Intermediary ("OTI")
OTI's are either Ocean Freight Forwarders ("OFF)" or Non-Vessel Operating Carriers ("NVOCC"). An Ocean Freight Forwarder (OFF) is an individual or company located in the U.S. which:
arranges cargo movement to an international destination

Prior to Offering Services in the U.S. Trades, OFFs:
are required to obtain a license from the FMC (46 CFR § 515.3)
are required to submit proof of financial responsibility for payment of claims (46 CFR Part 515 Subpart C) arising from transportation-related activities
A Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) is:
a common carrier that holds itself out to the public to provide ocean transportation, issues its own house bill of lading or equivalent document, and does not operate the vessels by which ocean transportation is provided
a shipper in its relationship with the vessel-operating common carrier involved in the movement of cargo
Prior to Offering Services in the U.S. Trades, NVOCCs:
are required to obtain a license from the FMC (46 CFR § 515.3) (if a U.S.-based company)
are required to submit proof of financial responsibility for payment of claims (46 CFR Part 515 Subpart C) (arising from its transportation-related activities
are required to publish a tariff (46 CFR § 520.3)
(source: Federal Maritime Commission website at fmc.gov as of 12/2015)

A document prepared by the shipper listing the kinds, quantities and values of the merchandise in a particular shipment. A copy is required for all shipments domestic and international and a copy is usually sent to the consignee. The packing list sometimes called an inventory is instrumental for establishing type, quantity and value of the shipment.
A low portable platform with or without sides used to handle, store, ship, transport and move materials and goods. Pallets or load bases are usually constructed of wood and can be built to any specification in order to support most loads of varying size and weight distribution.
plant moves
The relocation of all items and equipment from a manufacturing facility. This scope of work may require special equipment such as lifts and cranes to facilitate the removal and loading of the heavy machinery. Custom load bases, pallets, skids, saddles, cradles, and crates may be required in order to transport or move the product to final destination.
Power of Attorney is a written legal document by which one person (principal) authorizes another person (agent) to perform stated acts on the principal's behalf. Exporters give limited power of attorney to their freight forwarder authorizing the agent to sign export contracts and documents for transportation.
product and transportation analysis
The study of the products characteristics which include size, weight and weight distribution, internal and external materials, susceptibility to abrasion and corrosions, the effect and characteristics of compression, vibration and shock, and it fragility. Also, the consideration of handling, distribution, mode of transportation, and origin and destination factors are used to develop product specific engineered packaging.
production run containers
To build multiple amounts of a specific container typically done under contract or through a purchase order.
An informal document presented in advance of the arrival or preparation of the required document in order to satisfy a requirement, usually a customs requirement.
The organization and management of resources to deliver all the work required to complete a temporary project within a defined scope, time and cost.
PU&D

The act of pick-up, packaging if required, transportation and delivery of product or goods during the same day.
Schedule B codes are used to classify the different types of products exported from the United States. Every export item is assigned a unique 10-digit identification code and every 10-digit item is part of a series of progressively broader product categories. Schedule B numbers are required for all export items.
The Shippers Export Declaration (SED) is a form required by the export authorities to document an export of goods. This form is required for all U.S. Export shipments with a declared value greater than $2,500.00. Also required for shipments requiring a U.S. Department of Commerce validated export license or U.S. Department of State License regardless of value.
A portable platform supported by two or more parallel runners that elevate the platform for lifting with mechanical equipment. A skid differs from a pallet in that it is generally higher and does not have additional cross members, stringers, as support beneath the runners. Skids are used to support the load and assist with storage, handling and transportation.
The Shippers Letter of Instruction (SLI) is a Form used by the shipper to authorize a carrier to issue a bill of lading or an air waybill on the shipper's behalf. The form contains all details of the shipment and authorizes the carrier to sign the bill of lading in the name of the shipper.

The resulting packaging as designed and built by your crating company may be of equal or better performance than would result from use of these specified standards for materials and procedures.
two day
The act of transporting cargo or freight for delivery or availability on the second business day; two day usually moves by air but may move by ground depending on the distance.
unpack and dunnage removal
The process of unpacking, removal and disposal of the packaging (dunnage) materials that were used to protect the cargo during transit, completed at the destination.

Q: Validation of viewstate MAC failed Running the ASP.NET webforms run the application works fine. When the application is idle for 4 to 5 minutes, it is giving this error:

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If
  this application is hosted by a Web
  Farm or cluster, ensure that
   configuration specifies
  the same validationKey and validation
  algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used
  in a cluster.

How can this be solved?

A: This free online tool: http://aspnetresources.com/tools/machineKey generates a machineKey element under the system.web element in the web.config file.
Here is an example of what it generates:
<machineKey validationKey="1619AB2FDEE6B943AD5D31DD68B7EBDAB32682A5891481D9403A6A55C4F91A340131CB4F4AD26A686DF5911A6C05CAC89307663656B62BE304EA66605156E9B5" decryptionKey="C9D165260E6A697B2993D45E05BD64386445DE01031B790A60F229F6A2656ECF" validation="SHA1" decryption="AES" />

Once you see this in your web.config, the error itself suddenly makes sense.
The error you are getting says

"ensure that  configuration specifies the same
  validationKey and validation algorithm".

When you look at this machineKey element, suddenly you can see what it is talking about.
Modifying the pages element under the system.web element may not be necessary with this in place. This avoids the security problems associated with those attributes.

By "hard coding" this value in your web.config, the key that asp.net uses to serialize and deserialize your viewstate stays the same, no matter which server in a server farm picks it up. Your encryption becomes "portable", thus your viewstate becomes "portable".
I'm just guessing also that maybe the very same server (not in a farm) has this problem if for any reason it "forgets" the key it had, due to a reset on any level that wipes it out. That is perhaps why you see this error after an idle period and you try to use a "stale" page.

A: See http://blogs.msdn.com/tom/archive/2008/03/14/validation-of-viewstate-mac-failed-error.aspx

A: This isn't your problem but it might help someone else.  Make sure you are posting back to the same page.  Check the action on your form tag and look at the URL your browser is requesting using Firefox Live HTTP Headers.
I ran into this because I was posting back to a page with the same name but a different path.

A: Modify your web.config with this element:
<pages validateRequest="false"
       enableEventValidation="false"
       viewStateEncryptionMode ="Never" />

Any more info required, refer to the ASP.NET Forums topic

Another Bittman cooking matrix... this one for fish: broiled, sautéed, roasted, and poached. I think I'm actually going to try this one, since I almost never cook fish and I've been meaning to check out several of my local fishmongers (for years at this point). Trying to work my way through this chart while keeping within sustainably fished... fish... should be a good summer project.


Three books dealing with, and by, women's lives.
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith: so, I was under the impression that this book was similar to We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. It really, really isn't. It was ok but since it was so far from what I expected I was disappointed. also, the sisters annoyed me. a 4.
How to Suppress Women's Writing by Joanna Russ: a non-fiction book about, well, women's writing. Highly recommended. a 7.

I wanted to ask how demonstrative words like ذَٰلِكُم would be used instead of ذَٰلِكَ or أُوْلَالِكَ. This chart linked to me by Matat lists many of the demonstrative words I'm referring to.
Essentially, I am wondering if ذَٰلِكَ means 'that' (male singular), ذَانِكَ/ذَينِكَ is the dual talking about two things (i.e. those), and أُوْلَالِكَ is the plural talking about three or more things, then when are the words ذَٰلِكُمَا and ذَٰلِكُم used and in reference to what? Are they essentially versions which are talking about humans, where ذَانِكَ/ذَينِكَ and أُوْلَالِكَ are talking about inanimate objects?
Some examples of their use in the Quran:
وَإِذ نَجَّيناكُم مِن آلِ فِرعَونَ يَسومونَكُم سوءَ العَذابِ يُذَبِّحونَ أَبناءَكُم وَيَستَحيونَ نِساءَكُم ۚ وَفي ذٰلِكُم بَلاءٌ مِن رَبِّكُم عَظيمٌ
وَإِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ يا قَومِ إِنَّكُم ظَلَمتُم أَنفُسَكُم بِاتِّخاذِكُمُ العِجلَ فَتوبوا إِلىٰ بارِئِكُم فَاقتُلوا أَنفُسَكُم ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم عِندَ بارِئِكُم فَتابَ عَلَيكُم ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ
قالَت فَذٰلِكُنَّ الَّذي لُمتُنَّني فيهِ ۖ وَلَقَد راوَدتُهُ عَن نَفسِهِ فَاستَعصَمَ ۖ وَلَئِن لَم يَفعَل ما آمُرُهُ لَيُسجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكونًا مِنَ الصّاغِرينَ
analeeh
I think they would be used in theory when you were speaking to more than one person. The -ka on the end of dhaalika and dhaaka is, etymologically, a second-person pronoun (added to dhaa, which is the original etymological demonstrative at the root of haadhaa, dhaaka, dhaalika etc). Relatively early on in the written history of Arabic (I don't know the exact dating) - possibly even before the written history of Arabic - this -ka had begun to be reinterpreted as just part of the demonstrative pronouns and no longer agreed compulsorily. But agreement was still possible. These forms are now very archaic, though.

Could you please elaborate? Do you mean that when you say ذَٰلِكَ you could only be talking to one person e.g. you tell Ahmad, "that is the book" you would say "ذَٰلِكَ الكتاب"; and you would use ذَٰلِكُم when talking to three people e.g. you tell Ahmad, Rasheed and Bilal "that is the book" you would say "ذَٰلِكُم الكتاب"?
That's right. Though to what extent agreement was ever compulsory I don't know. You could have a look in the Qur'an and see if there are examples of dhaalika with plurals (I suspect there are).
Matat
I agree with everything analeeh said but I'm unsure about the following:
Relatively early on in the written history of Arabic (I don't know the exact dating) - possibly even before the written history of Arabic - this -ka had begun to be reinterpreted as just part of the demonstrative pronouns and no longer agreed compulsorily.
The -ka had always been used for generic cases as well as for singular masculine cases since the Islamic era at least. In Classical Arabic during the Islamic era, there was nothing grammatically incorrect about saying ذلك كتاب to a plural group. It is simply more emphatic to say ذلكم كتاب. Consider the following verse in the Quran:
وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَن يَنكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُم بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ذَٰلِكَ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَن كَانَ مِنكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَزْكَىٰ لَكُمْ وَأَطْهَرُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ البقرة(232) -
Even though this is speaking to a plural group, in one part of the verse the word ذلك is used, while in the other part ذلكم is used. What you are referring to may be true some time before the Islamic era, but I personally haven't read about or researched this.
Jamal31 said:

أولالك can be used to refer to non-human objects in Classical Arabic, though in MSA Fusha usually the singular feminine تلك is used for non-human objects (this is also used in Classical Arabic as well in addition to أولالك).
ذلكم and ذلكما are used to reference a single masculine human or non-human object, but it is when you are speaking to a plural or dual group respectively. They are not the same as ذانك/ذينك. The words ذانك/ذينك are used to reference dual masculine human or non-human objects, but when speaking generically. If you were to reference a dual masculine object and are speaking to two people, you can, analogously, say ذانكما/ذينكما.
Could you please elaborate? Do you mean that when you say ذَٰلِكَ you could only be talking to one person e.g. you tell Ahmad, "that is the book" you would say "ذَٰلِكَ الكتاب";
Yes, but it would be better to put a pronoun in between them (called ضمير الفصل) e.g. ذلك هو الكتاب.
and you would use ذَٰلِكُم when talking to three people e.g. you tell Ahmad, Rasheed and Bilal "that is the book" you would say "ذَٰلِكُم الكتاب"?
Yes, you can say both ذلكم هو الكتاب and ذلك هو الكتاب. Another example is that to a single female, you can say
ذلكَ هو الكتاب or ذلكِ هو الكتاب.
Thanks guys that clears it up.

Matat said:
Reply: I like that you used an example for both ذلك and ذالكم , if you notice the sentence where ذالك is used, it seems to be speaking to one person even though the ayah as a whole is to a group. If you notice, after ذالك, it says منكم يؤمن, not يؤمنون so it is speaking to one person. The sentence where ذالكم is used has لكم which is in sinc with ذالكم. As a student of arabic, this makes sense to me. I don't know if there are exceptions to it. I hope that helps.
Zaid's The Limit said:
If you notice, after ذالك, it says منكم يؤمن, not يؤمنون so it is speaking to one person.
What is important is how many are being spoken to, not how many are being spoken about if the sentence has information about people. ذلك يوعظ به من كان منكم يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر is clearly being spoken to more than one person. It roughly translates to "That is what is instructed upon those among all of you who believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment."
(Additionally, the fact that it uses the singular verb يؤمن instead of the plural verb يؤمنون doesn't mean that it is only being spoken about one person. It can still be speaking about more than one person.)
I apologize for not being clearer, I don't mean to say that by pointing out يؤمن is to say ذالك is refering to one person talked about, it's still about who's being spoken to. By mentioning يؤمن, it seems to be speaking to one person by not mentioning directly as in "you believe". يوعظ is also singular.
For example, if I'm giving advice to a person who's emotional, I may say "someone in your position....." rather "people in your position...." although they both work, the first can be more effective in some ways for one person. By looking at how many people are talked about, sometimes it tells you who's being talked to.
منكم doesn't necessarily include all, it has من as in from you, from doesn't necessarily include all, like a man from you people (رجل منكم) still could mean one person.
Feel free to correct me where I may be wrong. It's just something to think about.
Sure, but that's not really relevant here. You're right that you may be speaking to one person when saying "someone in your position". But if I said "someone from among all of you", then I'm most likely speaking to more than one person. Is it possible that I may be speaking to only one person? Sure. But most likely not. So the question is, how would I know? You'd know by the context. In the verse, the context very clearly shows that a plural group of people is being addressed. You are looking at the third person verbs and pronouns when what you should be doing is looking at the second person verbs and pronouns, since that is what clearly shows you who is being addressed.
وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَن يَنكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُم بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ذَٰلِكَ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَن كَانَ مِنكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَزْكَىٰ لَكُمْ وَأَطْهَرُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
The entire verse from beginning to end is addressing a plural group of people.
Once again, it doesn't matter what it means; it matters how many it's addressing. رجل منكم is referring to one person, but it is (most likely) addressing multiple people, depending on the context. That's why you can say ذلك رجل منكم or ذلكم رجل منكم.
I see what you mean, so would you say ذالك works for both but ذالكم for plural you for emphasis? Anything else?
I see what you mean, so would you say ذالك works for both but ذالكم for plural you for emphasis?
Yes. ذلك can be used when addressing one or more people, whereas ذلكم is used only when addressing three or more people.

Hurricane Katrina forced New Orleans to change, but as with any tumultuous event, there are winners and losers in the aftermath. The tourism sector has come back fairly healthy.
As people search for words to describe New Orleans' recovery a decade after Hurricane Katrina, they sometimes use words verging on the Biblical — an economic and cultural resurrection, a rising from the ashes.
Helped by billions of dollars in recovery money, buoyed by volunteers and driven by the grit of its own citizens, New Orleans has rebounded in ways few thought possible in the decade since Hurricane Katrina. Reforms are evident everywhere, from schools to policing to community engagement and water management, all aimed at buttressing its people against the next monster storm.
But even people who talk about a renaissance speak in the same breath about those who didn't recover. The 'New' New Orleans is whiter and more expensive to live in. African-American neighborhoods across the city still struggle, especially the chronically neglected Lower 9th Ward, a bastion of black home ownership before the floodwalls failed. And the murder rate is rising again.
It was hard to believe New Orleans would come out from under. Polluted water up to 20 feet deep flooded 80 percent of the city. Katrina killed more than 1,500 people from Louisiana, the National Hurricane Center reported a year later. Many of them drowned inside their homes. The city's hospitals and police were overwhelmed. Survivors felt abandoned. The economy shut down.
Nearly a year later, most of the evacuees were still gone.
It seemed like a death blow for a lovely and romantic city already suffering from crime and racism, poverty and unemployment, corruption and neglect.
New Orleans is a national treasure nearly three centuries old, mixing African-American, French, Spanish and Caribbean traditions to create unique forms of music, food and fun found nowhere else in America. Would that treasure, and the people who made it so, survive and thrive?
Ten years after what seemed like the apocalypse, the question still hangs in the air.
— Louis Armstrong Airport, where thousands of refugees slept while trying to get flights out in August 2005, finally surpassed its pre-storm passenger numbers this year.
— The New Orleans metro area has 11 percent more restaurants, according to the Census Bureau, diversifying the city's distinctive take on Southern cuisine.
— New businesses are opening 64 percent faster than the national average, and sales tax revenue this year has been 29 percent higher than it was pre-Katrina.
— A sleek, modern University Medical Center has replaced the public Charity Hospital, where the emergency room served as a first and last resort for overwhelmingly poor black patients without insurance before it was shuttered after the storm.
— Almost all the city's schools were taken over by the state and are run as charter schools. High school graduation rates jumped from 56 percent to 73 percent since Katrina, but critics question the progress and say schools no longer serve as important neighborhood social institutions.
— The city has recovered nearly 80 percent of its pre-storm population. Lakeview, where 1960s-era homes flooded to the eaves, is now one of the hottest real estate markets, and along the river, young professionals renovated classic "shotgun" style houses and Creole cottages to make Bywater one of the trendiest neighborhoods.
As many as 40,000 residents arrived after Katrina, Tulane professor Richard Campanella estimates. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were trendsetters, building new housing in the Lower 9th Ward and buying a French Quarter mansion.
The "YURPS" (young urban renewal professionals) decided to stay, followed by more millennials who came during the recession, when New Orleans, by contrast, was flush with recovery and insurance money.
Chris Schultz attracts a growing crowd to his Hack Night get-togethers at Launch Pad, a co-working space he helped found in 2009 to jump-start businesses and foster a sense of community. Each week, techies hover over laptops and debate code while drinking beer from the bar next door, where locally brewed NOLA Blonde is on tap.
"The city has changed and ultimately we needed to change," she said.
Her family-owned business catered almost exclusively to black customers before their store was ruined in the floods. They just reopened last year, and Boudreaux says one of the big changes has been the influx of Hispanics and white people into the neighborhood. Now in addition to New Orleans staples like Camellia red beans, they sell tamales, corn tortillas, organic produce and fancy cheeses.
People often say that parts of New Orleans look just like they did right after the storm. But that's not true.
The massive piles of garbage are gone. Mounds of bricks and lumber were trucked away. Homes ruined by toxic mold were razed. What remains is an emptiness.
In the Lower 9th, that feeling is punctuated by a single house here, a cluster there. Brad Pitt's "Make it Right" houses, community gardens and a brand new $20.5 million community center attest to hard-fought progress. But only one school has reopened in the neighborhood, and very few stores.
Thousands of people haven't come back, even though many homes had been owned for generations before Katrina, said Darryl Malek-Wiley, a Sierra Club activist working to restore the community.
That prized status perversely worked against these homeowners, because without mortgages to pay, they weren't required to and often didn't have flood insurance, he said.
Government reconstruction money was doled out according to pre-Katrina market values that were too low to cover rebuilding. Extended families struggled to make decisions, and so did the city, debating for a time whether to abandon the area as a floodplain. All the uncertainty slowed the Lower 9th's recovery for years.
New Orleans is still majority black, but the numbers have fallen from roughly 67 percent before the storm to about 60 percent today. African-Americans still suffer unequally from poverty and unemployment. Black households earn half the income of white households, and the city's black middle and upper class has shrunk.
The worst number: 39 percent of New Orleans children live in poverty, virtually unchanged since before the storm.
"When Katrina hit, you got to see the real New Orleans, people who were trapped at the Superdome and the Convention Center — 99 percent poor, black. We don't have anyone who seems to know how to fix that problem," said Wayne Baquet, who owns Lil Dizzy's Cafe in Treme.
The storm also made New Orleans more expensive — rents have skyrocketed by 43 percent. Cheap rentals were largely destroyed by the floods. The city demolished public housing projects where thousands had lived, replacing them with updated but lower-density homes. Thousands of families remain on a waiting list for subsidized housing. Many workers face longer commutes.
Blighted houses with boarded-up windows are getting bamboo floors and granite countertops around the St. Roch Market, where fishmongers once hawked their catches. The market just reopened as a gleaming, white-columned food hall bustling with bigger-spenders who sample key lime pie, charcuterie and summer kale salad.
Ten years after Katrina, New Orleans remains a work in progress, aiming to reverse historic racial and economic injustices. The city has capitalized on "the power and the spirit of the comeback" since Katrina, said Michael Hecht of Greater New Orleans Inc., an economic development agency.
But the massive infusion of government money and philanthropy has mostly come and gone. "In some ways, I think the next 10 years are going to be even harder than the first 10 years," he said.
Scars remain. The tombs on Canal Street still hold bodies that went unidentified and unclaimed after the storm. Some people are still on edge, packing their bags when big storms roll in.
But Torrie Jakes, who enjoyed the "Rebirth" concert with her friend Jannis Moody, described a new commitment to her iconic city. She spoke on a lush summer evening, as kids played, families swayed, a vendor sold chicken burgers with collard greens and the mighty Mississippi lapped at the levee behind them.

Polls: Support for ICC remains high, but fear of violence has increased
Kenya Cases, Commentary
African Union, Kofi Annan, Uhuru Kenyatta, Ipsos-Synovate poll, Maggie Ireri, Ocampo Six, poll, Rift Valley, South Consulting, William Samuoi Ruto
Support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) remains high in Kenya as the country awaits the decision of the pre-trial chamber on whether six Kenyan suspects should stand trial, according to two opinion polls released this week.
One opinion poll notes that respondents who believe violence is likely to occur if the Kenya cases proceed to trial has steadily increased between October and December last year. The same poll found, however, that more people believe violence is unlikely than those who do.
A pre-trial court of the ICC has until January 23 to issue its decision on who goes to trial, or not, of six Kenyan suspects facing multiple charges of crimes against humanity for violence that nearly tore apart Kenya after the December 2007 presidential election.
Public support for the International Criminal Court process stands at 64 percent as of December last year, according to a poll released on Tuesday by South Consulting. This is a slight increase from an October poll South Consulting conducted, which had public support at 62 percent.
South Consulting is the firm monitoring and evaluating the series of agreements that ended the violence that shook Kenya between December 2007 and February 2008 and left more than 1,000 people dead. The African Union panel led by former United Nations chief Kofi Annan that mediated those agreements hired South Consulting to track progress in implementing the agreements on its behalf because none of the members are based in Kenya.
On Thursday, another firm, Ipsos Synovate, released their latest poll on Kenyans' perceptions of the ICC process and other social and political issues in the country. The Ipsos Synovate poll, which was also conducted in December last year, found that 54 percent of respondents support the ICC process. This is a slight drop from October last year when that support was at 59 percent.
Ipsos Synovate Managing Director Maggie Ireri stated that Kenyans are still divided over the ICC process, as according to their poll, supporters and opponents are almost 50-50.
"I think the country right now is quite interesting and tense," Ireri said as she laid out the key findings of their latest opinion poll. She said that because opposition to the ICC process was highest in four out of the country's eight provinces, the judges' decision will also influence the calculations of key political players.
The provinces that showed the highest opposition to the ICC process in the Ipsos Synovate poll are Central, Eastern, Northeastern, and Rift Valley. Two of the suspects – Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and former Higher Education Minister William Samoei Ruto – have declared their interest in running for president. Both, however, have yet to secure the ticket of a political party. Kenyatta's political base is Central Province while Ruto's is in the Rift Valley. A date is yet to be set for Kenya's next election, but a court ruled last week that the polls must be held by March 2013.
"Depending on the outcome of what the judges are going to say, it will definitely affect the political alignments," Ireri said.
The South Consulting poll stated that 36 percent of respondents said violence is somewhat likely or very likely if the Kenya cases proceed to trial. This is slightly lower than the 41 percent who said violence is unlikely. South Consulting notes, however, that the December 2011 figure is an increase compared to when respondents were asked the same question in October. Then only 23 percent said violence is somewhat likely or very likely.
"The shift may be attributed to local discourses of victimisation," South Consulting said in its report. "In many parts of the country, perceptions that the six suspects "are not the ones who bear the greatest responsibility continue to dominate public debate on the ICC process."
The South Consulting poll covers other areas such as what is the most important issue for Kenyans (the high cost of living). The poll was conducted December 3-9, 2011 and involved face to face interviews with 2,500 respondents. Its margin of error is plus or minus 1.5 percent.
The Ipsos Synovate poll was conducted December 12-19, 2011 and the 2,000 respondents were interviewed face to face. Its margin of error is plus or minus 2.2 percent.

THE MEDIA ARE THE ONE BUILDING THESE TO SEEM BIG ..THERE IS NOTHING UN USUAL WHEN A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED WHY GENERALISE THAT THERE IS TENSION?BY DOING THIS CAUSING AWARENESS AND UN EASINESS TO PEOPLE WHO WERE AT PEACE
Mwangi wa Wanjie January 21, 2012 at 7:21 am
There is a lot than what meets the eye. Tension is all over. Even with the Judges themselves. Why did they ought not to air it on air? That is tension! Why change the days of judgment now and then from 26th Dec 2011, 6th Jan, 9th Jan and now 23 Jan. That is tension.
LET US BOW DOWN AND PRAY
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever.
kamwaro January 23, 2012 at 8:32 am
Let the ICC do its work. The government of Kenya should concentrate its efforts on Reaching those outside ICC list. Its actually a big shame that anyone would imagine running for any public office with their Charges confirmed. it goes a long way to say how casual they are about civility.
Tuikong Luka January 23, 2012 at 9:17 am
The police are causing unnecessary tension in Nakuru patrolling streets. Nobody is concerned with the outcome Those who took the cases to the Hague. They did what they had to do. criminals can take the advantage of the situation . Kenyans Know the truth better.
JAMES January 23, 2012 at 10:54 am
the media should act responsibly.This is just one case why the media hype?
Some of the susspects may be using the media to create chaos.We the citizens havev decided to maintain pecace no matter the outcome.Impunity must be dealt with forthwith.We want to live anywhere we want in Kenya.
MAY WE DWELL IN UNITY,PEACE AND LIBERTY.
PLENTY BE FOUND WITHIN OUR BORDERS!!!!!
Joan January 23, 2012 at 1:15 pm
The ruling is out. At the end of the day we have a life, lets take care of this precious gift. Keep peace, one nation, Lets pass love to all.
franco muraguri January 23, 2012 at 3:07 pm
The rulling is out.And nobody is above the law so lets respect the ICC rulling,Kenyan have decided to maintain peace coz with or without the suspect life must continue.
SIMON MAGAK January 23, 2012 at 4:21 pm
I fully support the ICC process because this would be a lesson to the rest and similar scenario will not take place again in Kenya this coming election. I believe there is Kenyan who is happy with what happened in Naivasha, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nairobi name them. This was a total inhumanity and injustice of the highest order and should not be repeated.
I urge Kenyans to maintain peace and unity during this process. We don't need to follow our political leaders but we need to think about the future of Kenya as a whole. When violence rocked Kenya last election, only common mwananchi was killed, wounded, raped and all bad things that you cant imagine of. So let us remain united focusing achievements not things that will draw us back in terms of development.
abdullahi diis hussein January 23, 2012 at 8:19 pm
im aware the two presidential hopeful of the suspect mr Ruto and Uhuru have contested only parlimentary seat in 2007 and won it peacefuly before the annoucement of disputed presidential election i dont understand why they held responsible today violence erupted after the annoucement of the presidential result if it hapen they have been used but the big guestion is that who used them otherwise i wish all of them a fare trial and goodluck like ali and kosgey

MONTREAL — With leading roles in three major orchestras, Yannick Nezet-Seguin has a schedule to rival that of the busiest statesman.
He has been music director of Montreal's Orchestre Metropolitain since 2000. He took on the same role with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2012. Then last September he added music director of the prestigious Metropolitan Opera of New York to the list.
Next Tuesday he will make his debut in his newest role.
"I realized pretty long ago that I have energy levels a little above the average … but I have no miracle secret," Nezet-Seguin said recently when asked how he juggles all his responsibilities.
His agenda is filled with rehearsals, meetings and planning sessions — spread between three cities and two countries.
In a phone interview with The Canadian Press, the Montreal native said it requires a lot of self-discipline to stay on top of things. He enjoys good food and drink, but he has learned to avoid excess. He is early to bed, early to rise. He exercises regularly and watches his diet.
And then there is the little "miracle secret" that he does not seem to realize he possesses: the joy of pursuing a craft he is passionate about.
"I really like transmitting, through my energy, this joy that becomes contagious, that gives energy to everyone to do the work that we have to do," Nezet-Seguin said.
He finds it easier to be geographically concentrated between Montreal, New York and Philadelphia rather than travelling the world as a guest conductor.
"I can concentrate more on a single work," he says.
Right now, that work is Verdi's "La Traviata", which he will premiere at the Met Dec. 4.
When he arrived as music director, he had to adapt the famous opera — one of the most frequently performed in the world — to give it his own style. It was a difficult but captivating process.
Some musicians who have been with the orchestra for decades have performed "La Traviata" so often that they know it by heart, which means revisiting the score is particularly interesting for them.
"It's a chance to break with routine, to stop playing on autopilot," Nezet-Seguin said.
The maestro will be back home in Montreal Dec. 21 for a concert with the Orchestre Metropolitain. On Dec. 15, a live performance of his "La Traviata" for the Metropolitan Opera will be shown in Cineplex theatres in Canada.
He calls it an"absolute priority" to maintain contact with his Canadian audience.
"I am Canadian. It's great to have important positions in the United States, which leads me to adopt certain aspects of American culture, but I remain a Montrealer," he says.

How was the Alpha Lifework Method developed?
The Alpha Lifework Method is designed to bring the most powerful teachings of the ancient, Eastern world and apply them to modern, Western life. At Alpha Hearts, we believe that by losing ancient practices of integrative healing, we begin to lose elements of our most essential humanity—becoming stressed out, physically and mentally unwell, and out of balance in our work and our lives. The Alpha Lifework Method combines psychoanalysis; mantra and meditation; NLP, NET, and CBT; Tarot reading, and Chakra balancing through a blend of Ayurvedic medicine and Numerology. Through the Alpha Lifework Method, you will begin to achieve balance, enjoy overall health and wellness, discern a clear path for living your purpose, and discover increased unity in all areas of your life. By bringing ancient methodologies to your modern life, you'll discover ways of living that serve your highest and most authentic humanity. Are you ready to start living your most legendary life?
What is a life coach—and how is Alpha Hearts different from therapy?
Working with a life coach is different from attending therapy or counseling because at Alpha Hearts we're focused on your future. While we value the work of realizing and working through limiting beliefs and personal barriers, the primary mission of our Alpha Lifework Method is to identify clear and tangible action steps that will guide you towards achieving your goals and move you forward in your life and/or business with clarity, confidence, and passion. We believe that everyone can become their true, unique, limitless self—and we can't wait to help you get there.

Krupa B, Founder and Certified Life Coach
Like many of us, I spent many years struggling with confidence, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. I often fought with myself: about following a traditional path, living a life that mirrored that of my peers, living up the expectations of others, having a "normal" job and a "normal" life. But guess what: I finally learned that being normal is totally overrated. Instead, life is about being who you are.
Living your most authentic, legendary life, is the journey we're all on—learning how to follow our true passions, innate talents, and celebrate what we each naturally bring to this world. Our one duty we have in this life is to accept our truths and nurture our strengths; sharing our beautifully unique, authentic selves wherever and whenever we can! Discovering this for myself has been a long journey, but I am happier today because of it. It's a journey that has not only taught me, but continues to teach me, many things about myself that are crucial to living my most genuine, legendary, magical life.
But like I said, it wasn't always easy. Throughout childhood and into my early twenties, I struggled with some fairly severe self-confidence issues. I felt disconnected from others, worthless, and lost. I didn't know how to address these problems, and so I did what many people do: existed only day-to-day, doing the best I could for myself and my family, but being intensely unhappy and misaligned from my purpose.
As a result, I filled my years with relentless achievement, believing that this would eventually bring me happiness and fulfillment, personally and professionally. On the outside, I looked like a successful person, who had her life in order. But inside, I was anything but.
It took to crisis in my life—a totally transforming, near death experience—for me to really begin my journey inward. I had to learn to truly feel comfortable with myself, and began to understand where true strength, health, and happiness come from. I began to tap into my intuitive instincts and celebrate my innate clairvoyance. Finally, I realized that I wanted to use my life in order to help others achieving alignment and discover their authentic selves as well: whether in their personal lives and relationships or through their professional and career goals.
This is what I have to offer: an open heart, unique gifts of intuition and clairvoyance, the different perspectives of eastern and western methodologies and knowledge, and a deep personal history filled with tried-and-true lessons that will help you find the answers you're seeking and the and guidance you need. With two decades of experience in mentoring, coaching and performance management, I am also a qualified practitioner in NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy, Talk Therapy, and Hypnotherapy.
Most importantly, I integrate my business knowledge and experience with my genuine personal strengths, like natural clairvoyant abilities, tarot card reading, numerology, yoga, reiki, and more, in order to obtain the fullest understanding of who you are; how you've arrived at this space in your life; how to guide you into a space of evolution, awareness, healing, and transformation; and to put you on the fast-track to achieve your goals in any area(s) of life!

Saariselkä history
History page tells about Saariselkä making its first steps as the travellers' paradise.
Fabilious sceneries over fells opening from the Kaunispää hill to the east has always fascinated travellers. The natural development for the area was to create accommodation and other services for travellers.
The first hut
The first "hut" owned by the Finnish Travel Association started functioning in the gorge between Kaunispää and Urupää hills in March 1949.
This hut has an interesting history. At first the building was allocated somewhere close to Rovaniemi and it was hold as a military canteen by Germans during WWII.
Later the hut was moved to Rovaniemi where it served as a bakery for the Pohjanhovi Hotel, which was rasing up from ashes after the war. Probably the building also accommodated hotel's guests before the hotel itself was built up properly.
And finally it was moved to Saariselkä. The hut stopped functioning in late 60´s but only in 1984 the building was demolished.
The first building
The first building project on the top of Kaunispää hill was the Fell Hut for the Children´s Friends of Lapland in 1950, if not take into account the fire watchman's hut.
The timber was already transported to the top, but the whole project stopped when found out that it was not possible to get water up there.
The project continued when Lapland´s Tourist Association bought the timber and in 1952 a gorgeous 2-storied timber building appeared on the top of Kaunispää fell.
Kuvateksti: Talvinen tunturimaisema
Recovering from tuberculosis
The Children´s Friends of Lapland were looking for a new place for recovering from tuberculosis kids.
They found it to the south of Kaunispää hill by the river Luttojoki, where the Laanila lodge was built in 1953. It is just the same spot where the Santa´s Hotel Tunturi is situated nowadays. The lodge served as children´s camping site in summer. Hikers and travellers also used the lodge all year round.
It was destroyed in fire in 1958. Only 3 buildings were left. One of them is still standing by river Luttojoki. Just the same hut "Luttotupa", which one passes while cross-country skiing in Saariselkä.
In 1960´s new modern accommodation lodges and restaurants were built on the same place by the river Luttojoki.
With the insurance money the Children´s Friends of Lapland built a new mordern hotel in Laanila, which got its present name of Laanihovi in 1961. The new hotel's surroundings got soon new cabins mostly for the Finnish companies staff retreat.
The road to Kiilopää was built in 1963 and already next year the training center started operating.
The first post office was opened on the top of Kaunispää on the 1st of May 1956 and in Saariselkä only on the 1st of December 1959.
1969 was important year
Development of Saariselkä as the travellers' center started only in 1969 with the common meeting when a plan for development was presented.

Bryce Dallas Howard Jurassic World 3: An Updated Cast List
There are dinosaurs afoot in our modern world, and Jurassic World 3 looks to show the consequences of that fateful night the Lockwood Manor released a bunch of prehistoric beasts into the California wilds. We've already seen some of the fallout taking place in the live-action short Battle At Big Rock, but director Colin Trevorrow's return to the franchise he helped revive will see a lot of characters from Jurassic past and present returning to take part in a huge sequel.
But, of course, there's also some new additions to the Jurassic World 3 family that will help round out the human contingent of the adventure. And we've got a full list of the returning and debuting cast members ready for you to use in preparation for what might be the final Jurassic World film. At the moment, the following actors are slated to take part in Jurassic World 3.
Chris Pratt – Owen Grady
One of the two characters in this threequel who were introduced in Jurassic World, former raptor trainer Owen Grady has been along for the ride in this trilogy, all in the name of protecting his favorite co-worker: the Velociraptor named Blue. Reprising his role once again is actor Chris Pratt, who was most recently seen in Avengers: Endgame and will next be heard as a voice in the Disney/Pixar film Onward.
Bryce Dallas Howard – Claire Dearing
For almost every step of Owen's journey in the Jurassic World saga, he's been equally matched in wits and wisdom by the former park administrator-turned-dinosaur conservationist Claire Dearing. Played by Bryce Dallas Howard, her character is another important fixture to the story being told in Jurassic World 3, and much like Owen, she'll be returning to the world of dinosaurs and humanity clashing in a battle for survival. Howard's future projects also include directorial efforts on series such as The Mandalorian, as well as her feature film documentary Dads.
Isabella Sermon – Maisie Lockwood
Maisie Lockwood was revealed to be just as much of a product of genetic manipulation as the dinosaurs that she ultimately decided to free. A clone of an eccentric millionaire's late daughter, she too was saved by Owen and Claire in the aftermath of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's climax at the Lockwood Manor. Isabella Sermon will be playing this role again in Jurassic World 3, and presumably will still be hanging around with Owen and Claire.
Jeff Goldblum – Dr. Ian Malcolm
Perhaps the greatest thing that Jurassic World 3 has promised the world is that it's going to reunite the most legendary characters from the original Jurassic Park. While Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler will be returning in this film, Jeff Goldblum's Dr. Ian Malcolm had already come back to the fold with his bit part in the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. You can be sure Malcolm will be rather upset that the dinosaurs have been released, and now he'll have two fri

Retaining walls are great for properties where traditional walls crumble or falling debris is sometimes an issue. They're also great, natural-looking support for any Main Line home. Retaining walls are made from pressure treated timber, flagstone, or fieldstone that is stacked rather than held together by mortar. Sometimes, retaining walls are also called "dry laid" walls. Naturescapes Landscape Specialists uses stones and boulders to build retaining walls. We can either bring our own supplies or use existing materials at your Main Line property. In the yard seen above, we added 11 tons of boulders to the slope and created the Irish grotto look that the owner requested.
Although installing a retaining wall may seem like a big job to take on, it's simple for the Naturescapes team. Also, sometimes it's necessary to keep a sloping yard in place. It can even work for water mitigation purposes. We can take on an entire backyard makeover and add a new patio and pathway to work with the style of the retaining wall. After we finish one job, we're often called back again to design other parts of the yard.
For more information, give us a call at 610-640-0164.
