The word Chakra is the Sanskirt word that translates to wheel or disk. This is because Chakras are said to be whirling energy centers in your body. There are seven main chakras that follow the center line of your body starting at the base of your tail bone and follow your spine all the way up to the top of your head. These seven energy centers actually align with physical nerve centers and organs in your body, and therefore not surprisingly each chakra's purpose corresponds with the physical location. When these energy centers experience blockages (usually from mental, emotional, or physical stressors) they stop working properly and a variety of symptoms begin to manifest as mental, emotional, or physical pain. To maintain balance in ones life, these chakra's must remain open so the energy can flow, much like a river. If a tree were to fall into a river, it enables more debris to accumulate, until there is so much debris a dam forms, and the river stops flowing. Not only is the immediate area affected by flooding, but areas downstream are affected as well. When a chakra is blocked energy builds up until finally it reaches a breaking point. When this happens a person may experience extreme depression, chronic pain, and an inability to connect to others. Like the river, once this breaking point is reached it becomes more difficult to reach the tree, and remove the blockage that started it all.
The first step to preventing these blockages is awareness. By having just a basic knowledge of the chakras you enable yourself to be more aware of how the world around you affects you, and can take additional steps to release the stressors we experience that would normally pile up. When stress does begin to pile up, you will be better able to self diagnose and begin the process of re-opening the chakras.
Starting at the base of the spine, sits the root chakra. It is viewed as the color red, and being the closest to earth of the major seven chakras, it is associated with our most basic needs; food and hunger, shelter and wealth, and stability. When this chakra is out of balance we are more fearful of the world around us. When it is open we feel safe and secure.
Just above the pubic bone, in our reproductive organs, is the sacral chakra. Given the color orange, it is the seat of our emotion, our center of creative expression, and our sexuality. When this chakra is blocked we may experience guilt and frustration. When it is open we are forgiving and accepting.
Located in our stomach is the solar plexus chakra. It is our power center and source of vitality and is represented by the color yellow. This one is sometimes the easiest to see as out of balance because it manifests with physical symptoms So many times when we feel powerless and out of control we begin to have problems eating. Some people over eat, and some give up on eating. When the solar plexus is balanced we feel powerful and in control.
The heart chakra is special, as being located centrally at your heart it connects the chakras associated with your physical being to those of your spiritual self. Denoted as green, the heart chakra deals with all things love. Many people struggle with having enough self love that they seek love from others. In addition to self love, this chakra also encompasses romantic love, platonic love, and familial love.
The throat chakra deals with communication and truth and is colored blue. Imbalances manifest as dishonesty and trouble with communicating; whether over communication or an inability to speak up for ones self.
The third eye is located on the forehead, just above and between the eyebrows. It is the seat of our intuition and is colored purple. Naturally our minds like to over think and rationalize every thought and situation. To stay balance trust you instincts, and listen to your intuition.
Lastly is the crown chakra at the very top of our heads. It is often colored white and seen as the "thousand petal lotus". It is the chakra of spiritual connection and enlightenment. When blocked, we may feel we have no purpose in the universe. When open we feel connected to our higher selves and to the divine.
There are many more chakras all around our body, for example; the palm chakras, eye chakras, and ear chakras. There are even chakras that aren't even located on the body like the soul star which is about one foot above the crown, and the earth star which is one foot below our feet. While these chakras are important, they don't poses as much power as the main seven chakras to throw our whole lives out of balance.
Below is a wonderful video which explains chakra's in the most basic way. It is taken from the Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender, where a young boy tackles complex adult themes and solves them in a way only the simple heart of a child could.

Q: Django Login/Session Not Sticking Over HTTPS I'm working on a Django site hosted on an Apache server with mod_wsgi.
The site is only on https as we have Apache redirect any http requests to https.
The project I'm working on is called Skittle.
I have a custom user model called SkittleUser which inherits from AbstractBaseUser and is set as the AUTH_USER_MODEL in our settings.py file.
os.environ['HTTPS'] = "on" is set in the wsgi.py file.
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True and CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True are both set in settings.py
The issue that we are having right now is that logging in as a user is unreliable.
When you go to the login page, some times it works while other times it doesn't.
Then while browsing the site, you will suddenly lose your session and be kicked down to an anonymous user.
We are currently running our test site here if anybody wants to take a look:
https://skittle.newlinetechnicalinnovations.com/discover/
Our production site is at www.dnaskittle.com but does not yet incorporate user logins as the feature doesn't work.
A test user:
email: test@dnaskittle.com
password: asdf
If the login does not work, you will see in the top right "Welcome, Login" in which case, just try clicking on Login again and use the same credentials.
It may take 5-6 times of doing that process before you will actually get logged in.
You will know it works when you see "Welcome Tester, Logout, My Genomes"
After you are logged in, it may stick for a while, but browsing around to other pages will eventually kick you back off.
There is no consistent amount of pages that you can go through before this happens, and it doesn't happen on any specific page.
Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated.
Also of note, going to the Django admin page (which is not our code, but base django code) has the same issue.

A: It's little longer and complex the SSL system. to handle the session/login properly with https you can set a configuration with the session_cookies.
settings.py:
ENABLE_SSL=False #in the debug mode in the production passed it to True
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'commerce.SSLMiddleware.SSLRedirect', #)
# the session here is to use in your views when a user is connected
SESSION_COKIE_NAME='sessionid'
#the module to store sessions data
SESSION_ENGINE='django.contrib.sessions.backends.db'
#age of cookie in seconds (default: 2 weeks)
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE=7776000 # the number of seconds in 90 days
#whether a user's session cookie expires when the web browser is closed
SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE=False
#whether the session cookie should be secure (https:// only)
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=False

SSLMiddleware is a file you going to define in your project like.
SSLMiddleware.py:
from django.conf import settings
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect, HttpResponsePermanentRedirect

SSL='SSL'

class SSLRedirect:
def process_view(self,request,view_func,view_args,view_kwargs):
    if SSL in view_kwargs:
        secure =view_kwargs[SSL]
        del view_kwargs[SSL]
    else:
        secure=False
    if not secure == self._is_secure(request):
        return self._redirect(request,secure)

def _is_secure(self,request):
   if request.is_secure():
       return True
   if 'HTTP_X_FORWARD_SSL' in request.META:
       return request.META['HTTP_X_FORWARD_SSL'] == 'on'
   return False

def _redirect(self,request,secure):
    protocol = secure and "https" or "http"
    newurl ="%s://%s%s" % (protocol, request, request.get_full_path())
    if settings.DEBUG and request.method=="POST":
        raise RuntimeError, \
    return HttpResponsePermanentRedirect(newurl)

Now in your urls which should handle your logins or connection add the line
urls.py:
from project import settings
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.auth.views',
    (r'^login/$','login',{'template_name':'registration/login.html','SSL':settings.ENABLE_SSL},'login'),

Try to adapt this to your code. and don't forget to turn ENABLE_SSL to True

A: I've gotten this issue sorted out now.
Users can not login while on HTTPS using while using the listed setup.
What I did:
In settings.py add:
SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST = True
SESSION_COOKIE_NAME = 'DNASkittle'

I also wiped the current django_sessions database in case that was causing issues with old lingering data.
I did not setup extra middleware or SSLRedirect, and everything is working all ship shape.

A: For users login with HTTPS, you have to enable SSL and use code that matches your case to use it.  For the user session you can use this:
First check if you have in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS= ('django.contrib.sessions',)

and use the request.sessions in your file.py:
request.session['id']='the_id_to_store_in_browser' or 'other_thing'

Here you use request.session like a special SessionStore class which is similar to python dictionary.
In your views.py for example before rendering a template or redirecting test the cookie with the code:
if :
 # whatever you want
  if request.session.test_cookie_worked():
    request.session.delete_test_cookie()
  return HttpResponseRedirect(up-to-you)
else:
 # whatever you want
 request.session.set_test_cookie()
return what-you-want

with this code, the user session will stick a wide, depending on your SESSION_COOKIE_AGE period.

After playing 107 shows in 10 months, Adele finally finished her world tour last night. As the crowd screamed and confetti flew, the pop star dropped some seriously big news: "I'm going to have another baby," she exclaimed onstage in Phoenix, Arizona.
Though she certainly didn't put any kind of timeline on it — it seems less like she's already pregnant and more like she's planning to conceive again now that she's not on a grueling tour schedule anymore — she was definitely ready to fly straight home to Beverly Hills to do some nesting with longtime partner Simon Konecki, with whom she has a 4-year-old son, Angelo. "I'll see you on the other side," she told her fans.
To celebrate her tour's conclusion, Adele posted a sweet Instagram last night featuring a banner from her son that read, "Mummy You Did It!!!" Alongside the photo, Adele wrote, "I just finished my 107 shows in 10 months. 100% live every night. I bloody smashed it, even if I do say so myself. You lot have been incredible, every night you've been so beautiful, loving and engaged. My band and my crew you made the whole thing turn. And my beautiful family made it easy for me to do." For a woman who used to have paralyzing anxiety about performing for large crowds, this tour is quite a milestone.
The source implied that the couple is already engaged — though "Adele is not even wearing her engagement ring," they said — but the star has not yet confirmed these rumors. As for the wedding, "They're a private couple and only want their nearest and dearest there," the source said.
So — it's very possible that a wedding and another baby are on the horizon for Adele. Time will tell! Anyone else excited?

Comparing Notes with Author Sylvia Wilkinson
November 29, 2020 Edgardo Gaines	0 Comments
Courtesy Sylvia Wilkinson
From the December 2020 issue of Car and Driver.
Sylvia Wilkinson and I are comparing notes about taking notes, and I'm taking notes. I've been meaning to talk to her about her writing process for years, ever since I read her book The Stainless Steel Carrot, which is about the Brock Racing Enterprises Datsun team's chase for the Trans-Am Championship in the early '70s. For Carrot, Wilkinson spent almost two years with BRE, following team founder Peter Brock and driver John Morton and a series of engine builders and guest drivers from workshop to racetrack, taking notes the whole time. "I always tried to be as unobnoxious about it as possible," she says. "It wasn't that hard in the pits. You could duck around the building. But later, at dinner, in a bar? They probably thought I had a weak bladder; I was always running to the restroom to write."
It was worth it. Carrot isn't like any other motorsports book I've read. It's technical, which you expect, full of carburetors and suspension details: "Oh, that was something you really had to get right," she says. "Luckily, men who know a lot love to explain it, so I would just ask until I understood." But it's also funny and sad and sometimes shockingly honest. There's a story about Dan Gurney farting. There's a scene where Brock's engine builder suggests the problem with Brock Racing Enterprises is the Brock part. Brock was so annoyed by the book that he didn't speak to Wilkinson for years. "He got over it," she says. "Time wears the edges off."
It's not that easy to get people to say anything with an edge in the first place. Left to their own devices, race teams talk about specs and dinner, not existential dilemmas and personal failings. If you want that, you have to push for it, but drivers are skittish. You can't go straight at 'em with, "Why don't you fear death?" Wilkinson is a master of letting her subjects start out with the expected and talk themselves around to the truth. In Carrot, Morton tells her he can't be scared he'll die in a fire, followed by several paragraphs of other things he's not scared of. The section ends almost casually with a comment about how he doesn't like anyone else in his life doing dangerous things because if they are killed, he'll know it and be sad, but if he is killed, he won't, and it'll be their problem. Ah, that's why.

"It's not that easy to get people to say anything with an edge in the first place. Left to their own devices, race teams talk about specs and dinner, not existential dilemmas and personal failings."
People talked around her. Sometimes they boasted and sometimes they blubbered. I can imagine her nodding and looking just the right amount of gently interested and then dashing off to write down the quote and, later, looking through her notebooks and bar napkins digging out the story. "I just approached motorsports coverage like a novel," she tells me. "Being a racing journalist wasn't my thing." Her thing was fiction. She wrote her first novel at age 12 and published three by the time she was 30. She has now authored seven. Maybe that's why her stories include wives and babies and childhood fears and overheard embarrassments along with careful tech explanations and precise race results. She was world building, not just race reporting, and because of that, her coverage stays relevant.
You might not care who won more races, Lee or Richard Petty, but a story of a son hoping for the approval of his father, that's timeless. You'll find it written in between the descriptions of moonshine cars in her 1983 collection of stock-car-racing essays, Dirt Tracks to Glory, along with stories of women daredevils and Black racers and all the supporting cast of a racetrack, from red clay to Daytona's dizzy heights. A reissue of Dirt Tracks to Glory should be out by year's end. The Stainless Steel Carrotis out of print but worth the high eBay prices.
Wilkinson knows I'm taking notes while we talk, and she thinks it's funny because I've told her she's one of the best motorsports writers ever. She tells me, sweetly, that she never intended to be a motorsports writer and wouldn't really care if she never writes about motorsports again. "Everyone is so boring and PR trained now," she says. Only, maybe she'd do a book about Miss Hurst Golden Shifter Linda Vaughn. "Someone should tell that woman's story." If Wilkinson does, you must read it.

Q: Convert unusual string to DateTime w/out foreach Update My Solution:
var rowsToAdd = (from t in dtEntry.AsEnumerable().Cast<DataRow>()
                 let startDate = (
                 t.Field<string>("StartDate").Length > 0)
                     ? DateTime.Parse(t.Field<string>("StartDate").Split(new Char [] {'('})[0], CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
                     : DateTime.Today.AddMonths(-3)
                 where startDate > filterDate
                 select t);

Original Question:
I get a DateTime string from an external API that looks like this:
10/14/2014 8:30 AM (America/Los Angeles)
I have all the data in a datatable called dtEntry which I'm using below.
None of the built-in c# DateTime conversion functions seem to work.  They all result in format exeptions.  Does anyone know how I could do this?  The other catch is that I'm using LINQ (see below).
DataRow[] rows = (from t in dtEntry.AsEnumerable().Cast<DataRow>()
                       let startDate = (
                       t.Field<string>("StartDate").Length > 0)
                           ? DateTime.Parse(t.Field<string>("StartDate"))
                           : DateTime.Today.AddMonths(-3)
                       where startDate > filterDate
                       select t).ToArray();

Any ideas?  I've got the ternary operator in there because I need to handle empty strings as well.

A: You can split your string based on space and then Take(3) elements from the result array, Join them back using string.Join and then use DateTime.ParseExact or DateTime.TryParseExact like:
string str = "10/14/2014 8:30 AM (America/Los Angeles)";
string newStr = string.Join(" ", str.Split().Take(3));

DateTime parsingDateTime;
if (!DateTime.TryParseExact(newStr, "M/d/yyyy h:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None,
    out parsingDateTime))
{
    //invalid datetime
}

EDIT: You have to ignore (America/Los Angeles) part of string, otherwise there is no way for parsing using such string. You can find TimeZone for Region and then create DateTime for that parameter. See this: Get timezone by Country and Region

A: The accepted answer does not take into account the time zone part. My assumption here is the time zone is a standard time zone identifier which can be translated from the Unicode.org site. And based off this other SO Answer (.NET TimeZoneInfo from Olson time zone) which provides a helper method from the Unicode.org site, you can then parse the api time to your time:
string apiTime = "10/14/2014 8:30 AM (America/Los Angeles)";

int timeZoneStart = apiTime.IndexOf('(');

string timeZonePart = apiTime.Substring(timeZoneStart)
    .Replace("(", string.Empty) // remove parenthesis
    .Replace(")", string.Empty) // remove parenthesis
    .Trim() // clear any other whitespace
    .Replace(" ", "_"); // standard tz uses underscores for spaces
    // (America/Los Angeles) will become America/Los_Angeles

string datePart = apiTime.Substring(0, timeZoneStart).Trim();

DateTime apiDate = DateTime.Parse(datePart);

TimeZoneInfo tzi = OlsonTimeZoneToTimeZoneInfo(timeZonePart);

DateTime apiDateTimeConverted = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(apiDate, tzi);

The method above, OlsonTimeZoneToTimeZoneInfo, is from the SO answer linked above.

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice: Reimagining Fall
Friday October 16, 2020
(Source:Getty Images )
The perfect temperature for fall is 53 degrees Fahrenheit, according to new research.
Results show that the fall season starts when the leaves change color, but when they have not completely fallen yet — and when it is chilly out, but there is not yet a need for a heavy jacket.
Commissioned by the chocolate-filled marshmallow brand, Stuffed Puffs, and conducted by OnePoll, the survey not only looked at when we know fall has started but also at the little things respondents look forward to most about the season.
Watching the leaves change color (51%), feeling the chill in the air (45%) and drinking hot chocolate (44%) were voted the three best aspects of fall.
This was also followed by getting ready for the holidays (40%) and making homemade soup (40%).
Various baking and cooking items featured high on the list — beginning to cook holiday foods, baking pies and having cinnamon apple food and drinks all featured in the top 20.
That's in addition to having pumpkin spice-flavored food and drinks, drinking hot apple cider and making pumpkin bread.
Those items showed a trend in the things respondents are looking forward to this fall: due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 68% are planning more quiet, indoor activities this year than in previous years.
Thirty-one percent of respondents said the pandemic has made it unable for them to participate in all the fall activities they normally do, while 31% said some activities are now unavailable.
Instead, they're spending time around the house, and 28% of respondents are planning to eat more holiday foods this year, compared to previous years.
"We're sad to see a third of respondents aren't able to do any of the fall activities they typically enjoy," said Michael Tierney the CEO and Founder at Stuffed Puffs®. "But many respondents are adapting to this year's unusual circumstances — it's a great opportunity to introduce new traditions, whether that's watching a scary movie every Friday or a virtual bake-off on the weekends."
"We want to help people to make the most of fall so we offer a variety of recipes on our website for families to try. From pumpkin spice lattes or hot chocolate to s'mores cheesecake and Halloween party pops, everyone can find something to make this season."
Even though fall may look different this year, 56% of respondents said they're happier in fall compared to other seasons.
And 33% said fall was their favorite time of the year, more so than any other season.
Those who selected fall as their favorite season were most likely to be adventurous and sarcastic, and they were also more likely to self-identify as rebellious.
Fall-loving respondents were revealed to be the ones who were most likely to choose horror and thriller as their most-loved movie genres, which makes sense, given the nature of Halloween movies.
"It came as no surprise that fall is Americans' favorite season: there's so much to do, from baking pumpkin pies to carving pumpkins," said Tierney. "It's still nice enough to go outside for some socially-distanced fun, and on the colder days, families can spend time together inside, drink hot chocolate with roasted marshmallows, cook seasonal foods and put up their spooky decorations."

Suspect in shootings at Half Moon Bay farms was employee
by: OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ and HAVEN DALEY, Associated Press
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP) — A farmworker killed seven people in back-to-back shootings in a case of "workplace violence" at two Northern California mushroom farms, officials said Tuesday as the state mourned its third mass killing in just over a week.
Chunli Zhao, 66, was booked on suspicion of seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, jail records showed. He was being held without bail and scheduled for a Wednesday court appearance.
Authorities believe Zhao acted alone when he entered a mushroom farm in Half Moon Bay, California, and opened fire, killing four and leaving another seriously wounded, San Mateo County Sheriff's officials said. He then drove to another nearby farm where he had previously worked, and killed another three people, said Eamonn Allen, a sheriff's spokesman.
Officials have not yet released the names of the five men and two women who died, nor the one man who was injured. Some were Asian and others were Hispanic, and some were migrant workers.
Servando Martinez Jimenez said his brother Marciano Martinez Jimenez, who was a delivery person and manager at one of the farms, was among those killed. Servando Martinez Jimenez said his brother never mentioned Zhao or said anything about problems with other workers.
"He was a good person. He was polite and friendly with everyone. He never had any problems with anyone. I don't understand why all this happened," Martinez Jimenez said in Spanish outside his Half Moon Bay home.
Marciano Martinez Jimenez, 50, had lived in the United States for 28 years after arriving from the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Servando Martinez Jimenez said he is working with the Mexican consulate to get his brother's body home.
Allen declined to answer questions about whether Zhao had any previous criminal history, saying, "there were no specific indicators that would have led us to believe he was capable of something like this."
But would not have been Zhao's first fit of workplace rage, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. In 2013 Zhao was accused of threatening to split a coworker's head open with a knife and separately tried to suffocate the man with a pillow, the Chronicle reported, based on court documents.
The two were roommates and worked at a restaurant at the time, and the man, identified as Jingjiu Wang, filed a temporary restraining order against Zhao that was granted but is no longer in effect. Wang could not be immediately reached, the Chronicle reported.
The site of the second shooting was nearby Concord Farms. Owner Aaron Tung said in a statement that the farm was waiting for more information before it could comment.
Several farmworkers and their families lived in mobile homes at the the mushroom farm where the four died and had been relocated to hotels and offered mental health and other support after the shootings, said Half Moon Bay Vice Mayor Joaquin Jimenez. He said the farm employs 20 to 30 Chinese and Latino workers, some of them in the country without legal permission.
"There's a lot of fear," said Jimenez, who is also the farmworker program director for the Latino advocacy group ALAS. "So for them to come forward to ask for help is going to be very difficult,"
Thousands of farmworkers are employed in the broader San Mateo County, an area known for growing mostly flowers, peas, Brussels sprouts and fava beans. There are a few small mushroom growers in the area, said BJ Burns, president of the San Mateo County Farm Bureau.
The new year has brought six mass killings in the U.S. in fewer than three weeks, accounting for 39 deaths. Three have occurred in California since Jan. 16, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. The database tracks every mass killing — defined as four dead, not including the offender — in the U.S. since 2006.
At an afternoon news conference, Gov. Gavin Newsom said he met with Chinese farmworkers who heard the gunshots. Speaking through a translator, they said it was hard to comprehend what was happening, he said.
Associated press writers Jocelyn Gecker and Janie Har in San Francisco and Sophie Austin in Sacramento, Calif., contributed.
This story has been corrected to say that Zhao is 66, not 67, based on new information from the sheriff's department. It has also been corrected to say that six men and two women were shot, not seven men and one woman, based on new information from the sheriff's department.

Life, Death, and Teleportation
Would teleportation transport you or kill you? And what exactly are "you" anyway?
Zia Steele
Mar 26, 2021 • 10 min read
Has the pandemic made it harder for you to travel? Well, do I have the perfect product for you! From the outside, it looks just like a telephone booth — you know, those small rectangular rooms with coin-operated machines inside, that people used to use way back before smartphones existed. But go inside, tap a screen, and type in an address, and the whole room will start to scan you. Long rods of light move up and down each wall, and then — just for an instant — it's like you're not really there.
You know the feeling: it's the one you get in a dream, watching yourself do something. Only by the time you notice it, it's already gone. The scanners stop, a light flashes green, and you walk out of the telephone booth…except it's a different telephone booth, in a different place. Congratulations, you've just been teleported.
This is a fictional scenario, but guess what: teleportation is actually a thing! It's real, and it's been performed and tested in labs. The only reason we're not all beaming around the Earth is that current teleportation doesn't work on humans. It only works on things much, much simpler.
Teleportation is really difficult. Even in its simplest form, it implements all manner of unintuitive principles from quantum physics. To teleport an entire person would require processing a truly astronomical amount of information.
That's why, so far, experimenters can only teleport things like the spin states of individual electrons or atoms — a far cry from teleporting people across the planet. Fortunately, it is proof of concept, and that's all we need to start thinking about whether this technology will ever be safe to use on humans.
What is it about someone that makes them them? Would stepping into a teleportation machine be the end of them?
These are by no means new questions, but the answers I'll propose may change the way you see the universe and yourself. It all has to do with information, and consciousness.
Let's start by looking at what teleportation does. Teleportation happens in what we consider the real world, but it deals primarily with the transfer of information rather than the transfer of substances.
You may take this to mean that teleportation can't actually move you. Rather, it just communicates information about you. But what exactly counts as you? You're not the atoms in your body. You can't be, because those atoms are constantly being replaced in cell division and cell death. Even long-lasting cells like neurons replace their atoms through cell maintenance. If anything, you're the pattern that those atoms take on — and patterns contain information.
In fact, thermodynamics tells us that all physical systems can be described as a collection of information. This information governs how the system will behave, be it a star, a planet, a molecule, or a person. Information is more than just a concept. It's as real as energy or weight or electric charge. It's as real as you. In all likelihood, it is you.
So how well would teleportation preserve your information? That's what will determine whether you'd want to step inside our phone booth.
Alright. We need to know exactly how teleportation works and what it would do to someone's information to determine its lethality. The mechanisms behind teleportation are complicated, so let's focus on the fundamentals.
Teleportation transfers the information about one set of particles to another set — kind of like how a photocopier transfers the information about one set of ink droplets on a page to another set of ink droplets on another page. Only in this case, there's more advanced quantum-mechanics-y stuff going on.
You need to 'entangle' the two sets of particles, and measure them in indirect ways so that the state of one set changes to match the state of the other. This change requires information about the measurements taken at each end to be sent from one location to another at a speed equal to or slower than the speed of light. Entanglement itself can't be used to send information. When the information is transferred, the set of particles at the destination is reconfigured to match the original configuration of the set of particles at the departure site.
You may think the newly reformed set of particles is just a copy of the original, but actually, the original no longer exists. Enter the No-Cloning Theorem.
In quantum mechanics, the No-Cloning Theorem states that it's impossible to copy all the information about a system and create an identical system where every property of every subatomic particle is the same. It's possible to make approximate copies, but not perfect ones.
This is a natural consequence of the mathematics of quantum field theory, which is the most experimentally confirmed theory in all of physics. It means that you can't send all the information about one set of particles to another without destroying the original set. Reconfiguring the second set of particles absolutely requires reducing the original set to a completely random configuration. Otherwise, you'd have created a perfect copy of the original set.
We should also note that information can only be transferred during teleportation. It can never be created or destroyed. This is another fundamental law of quantum mechanics, the law of conservation of information. It states that the amount of information in a closed system must always be the same. What this means for teleportation is that the information used to reconstruct a teleported object must come from the original object. The first object cannot retain information about its original configuration. The only way for the object to lose this information is to become randomly configured at the subatomic level, which is exactly what would happen to your original body if you were teleported.
In theory, perfect teleportation would reconstruct your body exactly the same as you were upon being scanned, right down to the superpositions of the electrons orbiting your atoms. The information in your new body would be the same information that comprised your old one, not a copy. Same information, same you. That means you survive, right?
Well, we also need to consider how consciousness fits into the equation.
Neuroscientists have two prominent theories about the nature of consciousness: the Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) and Integrated Information Theory (IIT).
GNW asserts that consciousness emerges when an entire physical system has access to information and processes it in a particular way. Therefore, someone's conscious experience depends solely on the way information is processed.
IIT goes against this idea. It claims that awareness is a product of the interactions we have with our environment. According to IIT, consciousness requires specialized physical structures that interact with the world, not just a specific way of processing information.
To make this more intuitive, imagine two brains. One is your typical human brain between two ears, while the other is simulated on a computer. Both brains process information using the same patterns of connections, so under GNW, they'd both be considered conscious. However, IIT demands that certain physical structures must exist to connect a brain to the world around it. If our simulated brain doesn't have an environment to interact with, IIT argues that it can't be conscious.
So consciousness likely either depends on how your brain processes information or the way your brain and sensory organs are physically structured. That wouldn't be a problem for the perfectly reconfigured version of yourself. Every particle in their brain would have the exact same quantum states as yours had before being teleported. They would process information the exact same way as you with the exact same structures. Therefore, they could be thought of as a continuation of your singular conscious experience. They'd even have all of your memories because all the information from your original brain would be found inside their new one.
The reconstructed you would be physically identical, conscious, and have all your memories, while the particles that used to make up your body would be scattered randomly. It seems pretty clear which one is you, right?
Well, the problem is there's no way for an outside observer to tell whether the reconstructed you is still you. Even the reconstructed you wouldn't be able to tell if they were the same person who went into the teleportation machine. For all they know, their existence could have started the moment their new body was made and all their memories from before they teleported were implanted in their new brain by the machine. That includes the memory of stepping into the machine seconds earlier. So if teleportation did kill its users, it would be impossible for anyone alive to tell. The claim that teleportation kills would be unfalsifiable, and that's a big problem. If we're not able to disprove a claim it's a sign that we've crossed into philosophy rather than pure science.
Luckily, our inability to test teleportation's lethality could be temporary. It will disappear if we can develop an entirely physical, experimentally-verified model of consciousness. We're not there yet, but many neuroscientists and even quantum physicists are working to get there. For now, neuroscience and quantum physics can still greatly inform our reasoning on the issue.
The way I see it, there's no physical reason that perfect quantum teleportation would kill you. If there's a physical system in your body responsible for your consciousness, then that consciousness shouldn't be dependent on exactly where the particles generating it come from. You already change out the particles in your body constantly, so what makes you you has more to do with the pattern of physical and chemical interactions that keep you alive than the individual particles. All a teleporter would do is replace your atoms much faster than the universe normally does.
In this view, perfect teleportation should preserve the pattern of activity that is you, no problem. Hence, it's survivable. Unfortunately, it's also very implausible.
So far, we've only been considering perfect teleportation. But could we ever make a teleporter that transports 100% of a person's information? Probably not. Some information would almost certainly get corrupted in the process.
How good does teleportation have to be to preserve someone's consciousness? Well, our consciousness probably won't mind if parts of our body other than our brain and nervous system are imperfectly sent. Studies have even shown that removing certain parts of the brain won't stop someone from being conscious. I predict the only part of the teleportation process that would directly affect consciousness is teleporting parts of the brain directly responsible for creating it (if there are any.) So what would happen if these neural regions weren't sent perfectly?
I mentioned earlier that it's possible to imperfectly copy an object. Let's do a thought experiment. Let's say a machine takes a scan of you and creates as good a clone as it possibly can. Then, you go through a teleporter that reconstructs you in a way that just happens to be identical to the imperfect clone. This wouldn't violate the No-Cloning theorem because you didn't make either identical person directly from the other. They just happened to be identical, which is allowed. The two imperfect reconstructions of you would have shared an identical conscious experience at the instant the teleported you was reconstructed. But before you went through the teleporter, you weren't sharing the same conscious experience as your imperfect copy. This suggests that you also wouldn't share the same conscious experience as the imperfect reconstruction of you that comes out of the teleportation machine. Therefore, the imperfect teleportation machine would kill the original you.
This is the conclusion you come to when you think of yourself and your consciousness as the continuous processing of information in a very particular way, like in GNW. According to this interpretation, anyone with a slightly different way of processing information than you can't be you, including a teleportation machine's imperfect reconstruction.
However, this interpretation of GNW also implies that you don't remain the same person as you age. Over time, your neurons reorganize themselves over and over again, changing the way you process information. Most of us still consider our current selves the same as our past selves, so maybe this interpretation of GNW isn't how our minds work. It all depends on how much the way you process information is allowed to change before it disrupts your stream of consciousness.
Any version of GNW that allows your brain to process information slightly differently without becoming a new person would allow you to survive teleportation. For example, if you remain the same person after ageing a few seconds, then you'll probably remain the same person after going through a near-perfect teleportation machine.
So GNW gives the all-clear for teleportation. What about IIT?
If there are structures in the nervous system that create consciousness thanks to the way they interact with their environment, a teleportation machine wouldn't perfectly preserve them. However, that's probably okay because our bodies are already incapable of perfectly preserving them from one moment to the next.
These structures exist in a continuum. Their atoms are constantly replaced, and over time they experience natural wear and tear. According to this theory, it shouldn't matter if the reconstructed version of you doesn't perfectly match the previous you, because they'd still be continuing the process of reacting to the world around them and having experiences. What makes them you is the fact that there is a direct causal link between the things you experience and the things they experience. One wouldn't be the same without the other.
Again, this interpretation is the same as thinking of your past self as you, even though they processed information differently and harboured different atoms. If IIT is correct, then once again an imperfect teleportation machine shouldn't kill the original you.
So there you have it. If you believe what makes you you is the exact way you see the world — down to the subatomic level — then you'll probably want to avoid teleportation. You'll also want to stop moving forwards in time altogether. Good luck with that.
If you believe what makes you you is the chain of thoughts and experiences you go through during your life, then go ahead and teleport to your heart's content. But if you're unwilling to put your existence in the hands of quantum physicists you don't even know, I'd recommend looking into wormholes. The extreme warping and ripping of spacetime could be far deadlier, but at least you won't have to worry about literally catching a computer virus.

Abq Journal scaling back, announces layoffs

There's more bad news on the newspaper front in New Mexico. The Albuquerque Journal says it is scaling back its distribution area. The paper also on Wednesday night and this morning laid off a few people and is set to lay off more today. More news when it becomes available.
Update, 3:57
Here's the official word from the Journal. No real specifics in the post, however, apart from saying that fewer than 10 people were let go from the newsroom. The Associated Press, however, is reporting that the cuts were in several editorial departments in Albuquerque in Santa Fe. In addition, the AP says the Albuquerque Publishing Company laid off people in the circulation, advertising, production and other departments, but the company didn't disclose the number.
Let's hope the Journal is able to continue to dedicate the same number of people it has in the past to cover the Legislature and state government, especially given the current situation with Gov. Bill Richardson. Because with something like this, the more reporters the better.
Update, 9:30 a.m. Friday
Here's our story on the layoffs.

Our buyers annually go to the world's largest international tool and hardware show in Cologne (Köln), Germany and sooner or later each brings home a dozen (or more) of the beer glasses of the region.
The local beer, Kölsch, is brewed only in the Cologne region and must not only conform to the German Beer Purity Act of 1516, but must also be served only in these special slim, graceful 1/5 litre (6.8 fl oz) glasses called "stangen" (rods).
These are the champagne flutes of the beer world, only 2" in diameter and just shy of 6-1/2" tall. Their appeal comes not only from their history and their classic design, but also from the thin (0.040") sidewall glass; it is like drinking from fine porcelain or crystal. They are suited to any tall, cool drink. With a 3/8" thick bottom, they are both stable and sturdy, yet only half the weight of usual glasses of the same volume.
We have had these under test for over 20 years and find their look and performance to be just right.


Come and join in all the fun of our BRICKS 4 KIDZ® After School Workshops with LEGO®! During this term, we will be focusing on 'Energy is Everywhere'. We will explore the energy released from different forces of nature, as well as the effects it has. Come & learn about energy in fun & exciting way!

If I had been told ten years ago today that I would be living in Co. Laois, married, with three cats, I should not have believed it. Why? Well, ten years ago today was the day that I received the news that I am living with HIV.
Well I remember it. I don't remember what my viral load count was, but I do know my CD4 count was 100. Over the last ten years it has gone up and down and up again, so that it is relatively good now.
In each of the seven eight hospitals, I have found friendly and helpful staff. In each of the seven eight hospitals, I have tried to be a cheerful, happy, and helpful patient. It doesn't always work, but that is what I try to be.
Over the ten years, I have tried to raise awareness of HIV and of people living with HIV in various ways. This blog is the principal one, as well as being so open with people in my daily life. I particularly remember the interview I gave to GBC News in Gibraltar on World Aids Day 2014.
I've made great friends within the Positive community, from the months of being on the Board of The HIV Support Centre (now called Positive Life), to meeting other HIV activists in London for HIV Neutral. I should never have heard of Positive Allies founded and run by Drew Dalton in Sunderland.
Here's to the next ten years: hopefully by then my viral load will still be undetectable, my CD4 count still reasonably good, and perhaps, I shall even have a transplant kidney.


We have lost most of our instruments. We are pushing the engine controls as hard as we can, but none of the engines are responding. I shout mayday to the radio, but the radio is silent. And I fear that the aircraft's hull may no longer hold pressure. I curse my decision to ever enter the cockpit of this rusty 747-200. This night is going to end badly. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I decide that it is time to exit the cockpit, run down the stairs, and ... order a drink from the steward.
I am at the Jumbo Hostel near Arlanda, Stockholm's international airport. We've really lost the instruments and engines, because the plane was stripped down from valuable parts before this Singapore Airlines 747 was converted into a hostel.
For once, I'm not somewhere skiing. It is kind of my summer vacation from skiing. The south side of the planet is too far into spring by now, the north side hasn't gotten into winter yet, and I'm too busy at work. So I'm taking my son to visit Stockholm for the weekend, and we're staying at the hostel. We have room #747, the smallest but most interesting room. It is the cockpit suite. We sleep in the actual cockpit which is tiny, but we also have a bathroom with shower, and a lounge area with eight first class seats; the upper deck is all ours. The bulk of the other rooms are on the main deck, and that is also where the hostel's cafeteria serves food; the seating for the cafeteria is in the nose.
There is a full-service bar and a basic restaurant that serves grilled food or heats frozen meals. The steward in duty recommends us to take the bus to the terminals and eat there, but frankly I have already eaten often enough at the Arlanda airport. So we eat at the hostel.
There's seating and tables outside the plane, and I suppose they would be very nice during the summer. Now in the rain it is not such an appealing option.
At the back of the plane there is a children's swing where you can sit on a 747 tire.
The Jumbo Hostel is a very interesting place to stay for a night for airplane enthusiasts. It is also a low-cost and convenient place to stay when changing planes or otherwise having to overnight somewhere before taking your next flight. The airport is right next to you, and breakfast is being served from 3AM onward.
The only downside is that if you have interests or work in the city, the commute to the airport is long.
Only a few of the rooms have their own bathroom. But this was probably my only time that I've had a shower in an aircraft!
It is usually easy to write these articles. But now I even don't know where to start. Should I talk about the skiing at 17,000 ft? The ice climbing to get there? Or spending a night in a tent at five kilometers? How sick I felt at the altitude? The craziness of climbing at these altitudes just hours after arrival, with no acclimatization at all? Or how my guides had been telling everyone I'm the chico loco, a crazy boy who skis mountains naked? (Based on seeing a blog article where I skied in a swimsuit on my local hill.) Or how the climb went from fun to an almost tragedy for my friend? And how my guide saved the situation by carrying her off the mountain on his back? For ten kilometers... and I had trouble keeping up behind them.
My goal for the weekend was climbing up Bolivia's 5,320 meter (17,000 ft) Tarija Peak - with my skis. Higher than I've ever been skiing or climbing, by a margin of a kilometer! Still, Tarija was a mere hill on the neighboring 6000+ meter peaks of the Cordillera Real.
Flying to Bolivia is surprisingly easy. American Airlines flies there daily from Miami. I took this flight on a Friday evening after my work was done for the week, slept in the plane, and landed in La Paz, Bolivia's biggest city at 6 AM. But while this itinerary sounds simple, the flight was exciting. First of all, El Alto, La Paz's airport is one of the highest airports in the world, sitting at 4061 meters. Arriving passengers sometimes pass out on arrival. All of us are familiar with how our ears pop as aircraft land and the air pressure rises inside. Our ears popped when we approached La Paz, too, but due to pressure dropping, as the pilots allowed the inside pressure to gradually normalize to the outside environment. This happened while we were still in air. The picture below shows pressure altitude being at almost four kilometers inside the aircraft, while we are still in the air. I do hope the pilots were donning their oxygen masks, as having them suddenly lose consciousness during the approach would have been bad.
But we had no problems, and I didn't feel anything special at the airport. The crew from Bolivian Mountain Guides was at the airport to meet me: the guide, driver, secretary, the small kid and the teenager. What an expedition! We took my gear to the hotel in La Paz, situated a bit lower, at altitudes between 3700 and 4100 meters. The hotels in La Paz offer essential amenities such as oxygen. But I felt OK without.
La Paz sits in a valley surrounded by the high altitude plains.
But we continued, and took off for a three hour drive towards the mountains.
In the beginning, the going was easy. I felt good after hiking an hour to the base camp, situated at 4700 meters near the Laguna Chiar Kota lake. The evening was fun as our expedition cook kept bringing us more and more food.
There were a couple of other climbing teams in the same camp, but my guiding company had the biggest setup. They had three guides, a cook, two clients, and four tents in addition to the kitchen tent. We also employed a couple of local teenage girls for running a few mules up to the camp with our gear, including my skis.
Prettiest bathroom in the world? Maybe the coldest, too.
Spending the night in a tent at this altitude felt a bit uncomfortable, however, and in the 5AM approach march I was almost ready to turn back. There were no severe signs of altitude sickness, but I was tired and had lost my appetite. But since we were not gaining much altitude, I kept continuing in an effort to at least see the snow and maybe ski a few meters before turning back.
But after reaching the start of the glacier and eating some food, I suddenly felt much better. Crampons were on, and I felt good. Not quite running up the mountain, but almost. Food made the difference? Or moral boost from reaching snow? Hard to tell, but we continued. I reached my new goal of climbing to 5000 meters. But I still felt OK, so we continued. The last two hundred meters were tough, however.
I initially decided to just reach the main ridge, but then the steep snow cover on the face towards Tarija tempted me to climb a bit to ski the steepest initial part. Then I was so close to 5300 meters that it would just make sense to climb a few more meters... and then my guide insisted that the top of Tarija ja just a few more meters higher than us... and then I was at the top. Or the top of the skiable part; I chose not to climb the knife edge a little bit further on the same ridge of mountains that might have been the proper peak of Tarija, as it would have required proper ice climbing, and I felt it would be better ski back to lower altitudes as soon as possible.
Still, climbing this high this fast may not have been the smartest thing to do. I was at the top of the mountain just 30 hours after having arrived in the dizzying heights of La Paz. Not much time for acclimatization.
Four minutes. Fast, on icy and hard snow, and no stopping. The snow was in perfect condition, fun to ski.
Bolivia is best reached through La Paz, and there are plenty of climbing and skiing opportunities nearby. The world's highest ski area, Chacaltaya, sits nearby at 5,430 meters, but has been closed as the glacier melted away. It does get occasional snow, however. Bolivian Climbing Guides and other local agencies can help you in any climbing expeditions. Just be aware that explorations in these mountains are very dangerous both due to the high altitudes and being far away in the wilderness. You need a self-sufficient team to deal with any emergencies. There are no helicopters to rescue anyone, for instance - we tried.
I was beginning to get bored. On a ski hill. I had gotten a great deal on the lift ticket, eight hours plus a dinner for less than the two hour ticket would have been. But the downside was that I'd have to stay until dinner time, and all I had was this tiny slope. And a crowd of beginners on it.
Then I saw it. An opening into a tunnel, with "Doorgang naar piste 3" on the top. I had missed the main slope. Embarrassed, I skied through the tunnel to find a proper size slope, with no beginners disturbing me or me disturbing them.
Snowworld is located in Zoetermeer, 60 kilometers from Amsterdam. The ski area has a nice beginner run "Jungfrau", a snowboard park "Eiger Slope", and a long main slope "Wallis". The main slope is 210 meters long, but has a reasonable 20% steepness. The main slope straight and has little extra features, however. But it is good enough to be used in race practices, and can certainly keep you occupied for a couple of hours easily.
As noted, Snowworld sells package deals where their restaurants serve dinners once you are done skiing. The package dinner is in a Swiss-style restaurant that serves barbecue food (!). While the meats were not particularly impressive (and I am not a big meat eater anyway), the salad bar was quite impressive. I enjoyed my meal.
But the big thing for me was Bierstube, the local after-ski bar. They had live music. I repeat, a living, breathing band in an indoor ski area! On a Friday night the bar was pretty packed. Recommended!
A two hour ticket would have been 32€, but I got a great deal for an eight hour ticket plus dinner for 29€.
There are also other package deals, including a 78€ deal that includes also one night's accommodation.
The Snowworld has quite a bit variation in its many slopes, even if the main slope is perhaps a bit too simplistic for my taste. You can certainly spend many hours here, however, and it is also perfect for race practice.
But where Snowworld excels is the quality of after-ski. Live band in an indoor ski area is unheard of. I've toured a big fraction of the world's indoor ski areas, and Snowworld has certainly the best after-ski. Recommended!
Main slope from the outside - note the horse!

Kolho, a collection of tables and chairs inspired by the moon
Together with Matthew Day Jackson and Made by Choice we presented Kolho, a collection of tables and chairs inspired by the moon at Salone del Mobile, 2019.
During Milan Design Week 2019, we teamed up with renowned artist Matthew Day Jackson who presented a highly distinctive collection of furniture, in collaboration with Finnish contemporary design company, Made by Choice.
The collection, titled Kolho, after the Finnish town that first inspired Jackson, comprised of a series of dining tables and chairs juxtaposed with a series of the artist's well-known, exquisite flower paintings. For the table and chairs, Jackson designed his own Formica® surface that replicates, to scale, the surface of the moon. He has created the paintings using lead, scorched wood and Formica® laminate, evoking Jan Breughel the Elder and Younger's genre-defining floral works from the 16th and 17th centuries, made during a time of Dutch prosperity, colonial expansion and exploitation. Presented with the artist's gallery, Hauser & Wirth, the paintings provided a backdrop and foundation for the viewer to engage with the deeper meanings of the Kolho collection.
Kolho was born from serendipitous circumstances when Jackson visited Finland in 2018 in preparation for a show at the Serlachius Museum (opening May 2019). While there, Jackson was interested in seeing the Formica® factory located in Kolho. The laminate material is of special significance to the artist, as a memory of the tabletops and kitchen cabinets of his childhood, and as a material central to his artistic practice (featured in the paintings on view.)
During this visit, he realised that the town had greater connections to the themes of space and mechanics in his work: Kolho was the birthplace of James Vehko (aka Jalmari Vehkomäki), an emigrant to the USA and designer of the first Ford Motor Company all-metal automobile body, after the Model A. Vehko's son, also from Kolho, became head of Chrysler's Space division.
The trip to Kolho quickly led to logical collaboration between Jackson and ourselves. Those familiar with Jackson's artistic practice will see this collaboration as inevitable – not just for his long history using artwork and interest in community engagement. Together we have developed bespoke steel press plates to create a textured laminate at 80 microns in depth that is a scale representation of the surface of the far side of the moon. This texture is derived from images taken from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2009, launched in honour of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing. Kolho's debut will coincide with the 50th anniversary of this landing.
Jackson's interest in the moon landing features widely in his artwork, and speaks to ideas about colonisation and human ambition, at whatever cost. The connection between a table top and the surface of the moon is a poetic one, relating our everyday needs to our wildest dreams becoming real. As Jackson puts it:
"As we explore the world and universe around us, we are peering deeper into our own reflection. We seek not the world outside, but rather, proof of our own existence. And as we search further, we delve deeper into the terrain of our collective selves."
Serendipity prevailed yet further when Jackson met Niclas Ahlstrom, a relative of Maire Gullichsen (Ahlström) founder of Artek with Alvar Aalto. His family company Ahlstrom (pulp and paper www.ahlstrom.com) also owned the Iittala and Karhula glass factories giving him a remarkable design pedigree. Now with his own contemporary furniture company, Ahlstrom agreed that he and Jackson should create a collection of furniture that would also utilise the Formica® laminate design Jackson developed from the nearby plant – and so Kolho was born.

Jesus Christ stands at the heart and center of everything we are spiritually and everything we do religiously. We belong to Jesus. Jesus is our Lord as well as being our Savior. We are saved because of Jesus. We are forgiven because of Jesus. We can be children of God because of Jesus. Nothing is more important than understanding Jesus. All proper Christian knowledge begins with a proper understanding of Jesus. A proper knowledge of the epistles begins with an accurate understanding of Jesus. Paul urged Christians to develop the mind of Christ.
I want to begin my Sunday evening studies with you by reaffirming and advancing our understanding of Jesus. I want to begin our focus on Jesus by developing an overview of the longest recorded sermon of Jesus in the gospels, the Sermon on the Mount.
This evening I want us to examine Jesus' description of a righteous person by looking at what we call the beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12.
Matthew 5:1 states that Jesus gave these teachings to his disciples.
Though a massive crowd of people continued to follow him, he created a context in which he could address his disciples.
He went up on a hill and sat down.
His disciples gathered around him.
It is particularly important that we understand that he is teaching disciples.
These are people who have already committed themselves to follow Jesus for the purpose of learning anything he wants to teach them.
They have already accepted the fact that he is the teacher, and that nothing is more important than learning from him.
These are people that belong to him, that follow him on a day-by-day basis who are committed to learn anything and everything that he can teach them.
They are not there to question or challenge; they are there to understand.
It is equally important to understand that Jesus is teaching his disciples a totally different concept of religion, of spirituality, of relationship with God, and of relationship with people.
The most influential voice, the most powerful religious teachers in Israel, are the Pharisees.
The concepts and teachings of the Pharisees were accepted as being truth by "the man on the street" in Palestine.
The positions and thoughts of the Pharisees were so commonly accepted and had been so commonly accepted for such a lengthy period of time that they represented what most Jews accepted to be the "way things are."
In this sermon, and in much of Jesus' teachings, he is contrasting his teachings and concepts with the thoughts and understandings that the common Jewish population accepted without question or doubt.
This contrast was very evident to those who seriously listened to his teachings.
Jesus is not merely telling them something different.
He is sharing with them thoughts and revelations that radically oppose what they always accepted, always understood to be the truth of the scriptures.
Interestingly, Jesus begins this series of contrasts between himself and the Pharisees by presenting his description of the righteous person.
The beatitudes are a composite description of Jesus' righteous person.
He is not talking about eight different kinds of people who follow God.
He is talking about basic qualities of righteousness that are typical of the person that God acknowledges to be righteous.
The righteous person is poor in spirit, or, he or she recognizes his or her spiritual poverty and owns that spiritual poverty.
The righteous person mourns, or, because he or she sees and owns his or her spiritual poverty, he or she is grieved because that poverty exists.
The righteous person is meek, or gentle, or under control.
The righteous person is famished for righteousness--he or she has a consuming appetite for righteousness, that is what he or she wants and wants to become.
The righteous person is merciful--the person who abuses them, or offends them, or hurts them, or treats them unjustly will receive mercy, not justice; and the righteous person will extend mercy to those who have failed.
The righteous person is devoted to developing and having a pure heart; he or she does not merely want to look pure in deeds; he or she wants to be pure within.
The righteous person is a peacemaker; he or she is the kind of person who can help those who are alienated find reconciliation.
The righteous person is willing to endure suffering and mistreatment for Jesus' sake.
Jesus' description of a righteous person stood in total contrast, stark contrast with the Pharisees' concept of a righteous person--and remember that was the commonly accepted definition of righteous person at that time.
The Pharisees' description of a righteous person was the exact opposite of Jesus' description.
The righteous person was a religiously accomplished person (he had no spiritual poverty to own).
By virtue of his accomplishments, he knew he was right, he knew he had God's truth.
He could say, as the Pharisees did to Jesus, "By what authority do you do these things?"
He could say, "We have Moses on our side, and we are descendants of Abraham."
He could tell you in detail what was right and what was wrong in any situation.
The righteous person took pride in his religious achievements (he had nothing religiously to mourn).
In the parable of the Pharisee and the publican who were praying at the temple, the Pharisee in his prayer is a superb example (Luke 18:9-14).
God, I thank you that I am not like other people who do not do your will.
I don't swindle, I am not unjust, I don't commit adultery, and I don't take advantage of other people.
I fast two times every week.
I give you ten percent of everything I receive, no matter how big or small it is.
I am proud of what I am not, and I am proud of what I do.
The righteous person was aggressive as he opposed those he declared to be God's enemies (meekness or gentleness was weakness).
Like the Pharisees did when they came from Jerusalem to Galilee to examine the deeds and teachings of Jesus.
Like the Pharisees as they followed Jesus searching for mistakes as they were doing when they saw his disciples stripping raw grain and eating it on a Sabbath.
Like the Pharisees, who were certain Jesus was evil, and plotted to discredit and destroy him.
The righteous person was knowledgeable (he had no need to hunger for righteousness); he did not seek understanding--he dispersed understanding. He fed those who were starved to understand.
Jesus never taught the Pharisees one thing.
They were always certain they understood and Jesus did not, they were right and Jesus was wrong, and they had the right interpretation of God's will and Jesus was misrepresenting God's will.
The righteous person exercised righteous indignation (mercy compromised God's will).
It was an act of righteousness to trap someone that you declared was teaching error.
It was an act of righteousness to falsely accuse and discredit someone who was doing what you declared to be evil.
It was an act of righteousness to destroy a person who was a religious threat to what you knew was right.
The righteous person was ceremonially pure; he ate the right things, washed his hands the right way, practiced the commands regarding body purity--purity existed in how you used your body, not your emotions, not your motivations, not your inner being.
Purity had nothing to do with the mind and the heart.
Purity concerned only your body.
Is it not easy to see how that reasoning could lead to the mock trials and execution of Jesus?
The righteous person was devoted to justice, to condemning the wrong doers, to destroying those who violated the commandments (not to making peace).
It was perfectly consistent with the Pharisees' concept of righteousness to bring the woman captured while committing adultery to Jesus and say, "The law says kill her, so what do you say?"
Obviously, from this description of righteousness, a righteous person would not endure suffering in loyalty to Jesus--in this definition the righteous person would inflict suffering on those who were loyal to Jesus.
Those who accepted and lived by the Pharisees' description of a righteous person became hardened, inflexible, judgmental people who did evil things for what they declared to be godly purposes.
They were cold and unsympathetic to the failures and struggles of others.
They became emotional deserts and loveless religious robots who always went through the motions of doing the declared right thing without feeling and without faith as God defines faith.
Had citizenship in God's kingdom.
Would receive comfort for their spiritual grief.
Would endure in this world.
Would have their craving for righteousness satisfied.
Would receive mercy when they made mistakes and failings.
Would be called God's children.
Those who are righteous by Jesus' description become warm, alive, and filled with kindness, love, and compassion just as was Jesus. The righteousness Jesus described will make us Christ-like.

Q: how to create a form validation which states that input value shouldn't be empty and it should be > 0? I want to make a logic before submitting which states that input value shouldn't be any empty value and it should be greater than 0.
    <Form className  = "workout-form">

              Duration
              <input type = 'number' value = {duration} min = '0' onChange = {(e) => setDuration(e.target.value)} class = 'duration' placeholder="min" required/>

 <button className ="form-btn" onClick = {submitWorkout}>Add Workout</button>
</Form>

A: A way to do it is to create a form validation function that will be called when we want to submit the form, and when the form is correctly completed, you then call the function to submit the form informations.
An example of the form control function
function formValidation(){
    duration = document.getElementById('durationField').value;

    if(duration > 0 && duration != ""){
         //call the submit function
         //submitWorkout()
    }

}

//function to submit the form
function submitWorkout(){
    //content of the function
}

For this to work you have to add the id property to your input field and set it to durationField as follow:
<input type = 'number' id='durationField' value = {duration} min = '0' onChange = {(e) => setDuration(e.target.value)} class = 'duration' placeholder="min" required/>
