This letter addresses echo cancellation for digital subscriber line (DSL) communications with discrete multitone (DMT) modulation. The described adaptive echo canceller operates entirely in the frequency domain. The method allows estimation and subtraction of an echo signal impaired by intercarrier and intersymbol interference present when the impulse response of the echo channel is longer than the cyclic prefix. Implementation aspects for symmetric and asymmetric DMT-based systems are described together with ways to lower the computational complexity. Finally, computer simulation results are presented that validates the proposed method.

August 14, 2020
I was sitting on my parents’ deck earlier this week trying to meditate. It was not going well. I could not concentrate for the life of me. I was too focused on all these things I wanted to say to people but was refusing to. I started wondering what the heck was going on. I realized that I have a tendency to always ask for what I need and want when it comes to my husband, but not so much when it comes to other people. I am constantly afraid that my asks will come off as “needy” or “too much.” (Oy—there’s that “too much” thing again…my inner voice just did a major eye roll…)
My question to myself became, how will I ever know if I never ask?
No matter what the need or question is—if I choose not to say it, even the tiniest thing will come back to haunt me and eat my psyche alive. So, I have three choices:
1) I can ask for what I need and see what the response is
2) I can let it go
3) I can let my psyche eat itself alive
Chances are that when I say whatever is on my mind the world will not implode in the way my mind thinks it will. If I choose not to say what’s on my mind, which is also a totally valid option, I have to deeply and from my core let it go—just like Elsa in Frozen—because if I am not going to say what I want to say or ask what I want to ask the thought serves no purpose and does not deserve any more of my brain space or time.
The only other option is to allow myself to play my very own mind games and make myself insane…this seems like the least desirable option, however, seems to be the option I currently employ the most readily.
Asking for what you want or need is a form of self-love, self-care, and self-respect. It is not selfish. If the person you are asking is unwilling to give you what you need or want then that is another conversation entirely about evaluating that relationship or whatever the ask is, but chances are nothing earth-shattering will happen. We shouldn’t be saving our wants and needs for only when we’re comfortable, we should be able to express ourselves comfortably in more situations rather than less. This is not easy, at all. But that is something important to work towards.
I always was (and still am a little if I’m being honest) terrified of putting people out, or of asking for too much….trust me, I’ve been told I am high maintenance enough times. It was so bad that when I was a kid and I would go to a sleepover I never wanted to use the bathroom at night, lest I wake the sleepover host or any sleepover guests. I was literally ignoring my bodily functions just so I could make people feel more comfortable or, what in my mind, was more comfortable. It wasn’t until I was twenty-two and was sleeping over at Domi’s apartment for the first time that I actually got up to pee in the night when I needed to. I woke up and panicked, preparing myself for another night of being uncomfortable and unable to sleep for my aching bladder. I knew if I wanted to go to the bathroom I’d have to climb over his sleeping body and that scared the living daylights out of me. My fear of putting people out had become so intense it was practically physically impossible and somewhat paralyzing for me to do what most people think of as a pretty mundane, routine thing. I stared at the ceiling. The usual thoughts started circulating in my mind, “Chelsea you are being ridiculous. Get up and go to the damn bathroom. But what if he wakes up? Then it will be weird and I will feel bad. Just go! What the hell is wrong with you?” I was, as you can see, making myself totally crazy. Finally, thankfully, the sane side of me caught on, and this facet of my brain decided to explore what having a modicum of sense might look like. It said to me, “Chelsea. You are safe. It is okay. And let’s face it, if you want to spend the rest of your life with this guy, you better learn how to pee in the middle of the night or you are up for being uncomfortable for eternity and that is a really long time to need to pee.” I got up, I went pee, went back to bed and the world seemed to remain on its axis. In that strange moment, somehow, I became comfortable expressing to Domi what it is that I need and want and we were able to start having open and engaging conversations about both of our wants and needs and still the earth seems to be turning just as it was before.
Here’s the catch though. To this day, I was only comfortable doing this kind of communicating with Domi—not anyone else. I noticed this as I sat in my meditation on the deck going back and forth in my head over things I felt I needed from people and for some reason was refusing to ask for.
It’s time for me to shed this fear and face it head-on. I can expand the “peeing in the night” concept beyond just my husband. No, I do not expect my entire mindset to change overnight, but I owe it to myself to ask for what I need when I need it. This is my new version of radical self-love and self-respect.
Okay, so maybe you don’t have a weird fear of going pee in the middle of the night, but I am sure there have been times when you knew so clearly what you wanted and refused to speak up for yourself out of a fear of rejection or inconveniencing someone or deep down having someone else discover that maybe you aren’t as lovable as you thought you were. This is normal and this is our minds feeding us untruths. We deserve to ask for what we need. We are lovable regardless. Even if someone says no to whatever your request is, the shocking truth is that the world will continue to spin on its axis. So, let’s live in the land of radical, or maybe what should be pretty typical self-care, love, and respect. And just when you feel low and like you can’t do it, just imagine me having to pee in the middle of the night and how ridiculous that is, get a good chuckle, and then speak your mind.
Happy day, friends. I am sending major love your way and please for the love of all that is good go pee when you need to. XOXO, CAMDW

“It took less than an hour to make the atoms, a few hundred million years to make the stars and planets, but five billion years to make man!” –George Gamow
But how was it that this happened? Sure, the Universe may have started off with hydrogen and helium alone, but when we look around at the world today — at our world in particular — there’s so much more than that.
Good thing, too, because without it, the molecular combinations essential to our existence wouldn’t be possible! There are many different ways that stars create (and destroy) various elements, but where did the ones essential to us come from?

When I have a bit more time, I'm looking to start working on a design for a modern, practical nuclear-powered merchant vessel that can be produced in numbers. I'm starting with a general vision rooted in real-life proposals in the hopes of getting some feedback from the community before I start the design itself.
The basic outline is along the lines of this (emphasis mine):
In November 2010 British Maritime Technology and Lloyd's Register embarked upon a two-year study with US-based Hyperion Power Generation (now Gen4 Energy), and the Greek ship operator Enterprises Shipping and Trading SA to investigate the practical maritime applications for small modular reactors. The research intended to produce a concept tanker-ship design, based on a 70 MWt reactor such as Hyperion's. In response to its members' interest in nuclear propulsion, Lloyd's Register has also re-written its 'rules' for nuclear ships, which concern the integration of a reactor certified by a land-based regulator with the rest of the ship. The overall rationale of the rule-making process assumes that in contrast to the current marine industry practice where the designer/builder typically demonstrates compliance with regulatory requirements, in the future the nuclear regulators will wish to ensure that it is the operator of the nuclear plant that demonstrates safety in operation, in addition to the safety through design and construction.
Nuclear ships are currently the responsibility of their own countries, but none are involved in international trade. As a result of this work in 2014 two papers on commercial nuclear marine propulsion were published by Lloyd's Register and the other members of this consortium. These publications review past and recent work in the area of marine nuclear propulsion and describe a preliminary concept design study for a 155,000 dwt Suezmax tanker that is based on a conventional hull form with alternative arrangements for accommodating a 70 MWt nuclear propulsion plant delivering up to 23.5 MW shaft power at maximum continuous rating (average: 9.75 MW). The Gen4Energy power module is considered. This is a small fast-neutron reactor using lead-bismuth eutectic cooling and able to operate for ten full-power years before refueling, and in service last for a 25-year operational life of the vessel. They conclude that the concept is feasible, but further maturity of nuclear technology and the development and harmonisation of the regulatory framework would be necessary before the concept would be viable.
The main difference is that I plan to draw an operational container/bulker ship rather than a prototype based on an oil tanker, working from the assumption that all the regulatory challenges have been sorted out. Beyond that, the overall target is as follows:
- Large, practical, commercially feasible nuclear-powered merchant vessel to improve and decarbonize shipping
- Ideally utilizing a Gen4-type LFR with uranium nitride fuel to support cogeneration and long operational times without refueling, combined with an IFEP system to support freedom of placement of the reactor independent of the propulsion system
- Generally cleaner-looking and "prettier" than other merchant vessels, but not so much so that it compromises its utility. So roughly inspired by the layout of this thing (albeit with more space devoted to cargo capacity and less to whatever's in that huge superstructure). But definitely not another NS Savannah, which was explicitly designed to be more political than practical.
- If possible, having a modular common hull base design that can be adapted for container, bulker, RORO, etc. variants in various sizes
- The latest safety features for protecting against corrosion and common sinking risks for merchant vessels, perhaps even ICCP if there's enough excess power
Any comments on the above points, or further suggestions for the design of the vessel, would be immensely appreciated. I'm trying to avoid getting "married" to a specific design before hearing from the community.


Pininfarina celebrated 80years of design and coachbuilding in 2010, but the Italian company is reported to be up for sale. As the current owners begin taking bids, Chinese auto giant Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Corp. among others has expressed a strong interest in the Italian company.
An anonymous source from BAIC recently confirmed to Chinese News site eeo.com.cn, that the automaker has indeed placed a bid to acquire Pininfarina. Other parties interested in purchasing Pininfarina include Chinese automakers Brilliance Auto Group and Anhui Jiangling Automobile, Indian Mahindra and Bajaj Auto, with Canadian parts supplier Magna also said to be in on the bidding action.
Through its rich history, Pininfarina has built several custom cars including the recent reemergence of the Lancia Stratos, and provided designs for several automakers including Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Volvo, and many others. One of its more recent projects is the designing of a new vehicle based on the last-generation Saab 9-3 in cooperation with BAIC. Tooling for the 9-3 was purchased from Saab by BAIC in 2009. No matter who wins, Pininfarina will complete its work with BAIC.
The Saab-based, Pininfarina designed concept car is scheduled to make its public debut at the Shanghai Auto Show later this year. Underpinned by Saab engineering and technology and covered in Italian-designed sheet metal, the new BAIC model is sure to be a noteworthy addition to the automaker’s lineup.

The paper is devoted to investigations of spent reactor graphite contamination. The study was based on the sampling from the graphite stacks and sleeves of three shut down plutonium-production reactors in Siberian Group of Chemical Enterprises (SGCE), Seversk (Tomsk-7). Several hundreds graphite samples were analysed by means of α-, β-, γ- and X-ray spectrometry. Contents of 3H, 14C, fission products, actinides, products of impurities neutron activation were determined. The inventories of above mentioned radionuclides were estimated. Correlation between content of various groups of radionuclides was studied. Graphite sleeves contamination was studied depending on the period of their irradiation.
Comparison of obtained experimental data for the three SGCE reactors with calculated predictions showed substantial difference. The conclusion was made on applicability of the data obtained for estimations of spent graphite contamination in other reactor types including RBMK reactors.
The main part of the studies was performed in the frame of the ISTC Projects No. 561 and No. 1409 fulfilment.

In an earnings call with investors yesterday, Facebook publicly disclosed for the first time that it was anticipating hefty fines from the Federal Trade Commission. While the two entities are still in talks over the exact agreement and final tally, Facebook told investors that it estimates getting hit with a fine between $3 billion and $5 billion.
In his remarks, Zuckerberg repeated his interest in reorienting Facebook toward privacy (encryption, messaging, closed groups, etc.) and away from the public-facing, feed-based monster he helped create. “I understand that any regulation may hurt our business. But I think it’s necessary. Getting these issues right is more important than our interests,” he said. “Over the long term, I believe that that increase in the trustworthiness of the internet can have a much larger positive impact for our community and our business than any short-term hit that we’re going to take.”
Despite news of the fine, Wall Street institutions didn’t really seem to care, and stock jumped from around $183 dollars a share to $192 when the stock market opened this morning. This could be because Wall Street assumes that Facebook sending the FTC a big check with “I’m reawwy sowwy” written in the memo line is enough fend off business-model-altering regulation for the near future. Facebook CFO Dave Wehner had no answer when asked if the impending FTC agreement will affect how Facebook’s ad-targeting business actually operates.
Compare this reaction from the finance industry to its reaction last summer, when investors balked. In July of 2018, Facebook announced that it expected revenue growth to slow as it began “putting privacy first,” making significant investments in user safety and security. Facebook’s ad-targeting business doesn’t work as well when users have strong privacy and control over how Facebook uses their data. Upon the announcement, Facebook’s stock dropped 20 percent. (It has since recovered, duh.)
With the FTC settlement looming, some regulators are singling out Zuckerberg for censure as well. This week, Oregon senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to the FTC demanding that Zuckerberg be personally reprimanded as well. Facebook’s corporate governance is structured in such a way that it gives the CEO complete control over the company, with little to no checks and balances. “Given Mr. Zuckerberg’s deceptive statements, his personal control over Facebook, and his role in approving key decisions related to the sharing of user data, the FTC can and must hold Mr. Zuckerberg personally responsible for these continued violations,” Wyden wrote, according to the Washington Post. Zuckerberg was not personally named in the company’s previous FTC agreement in 2011.
A $3 billion fine would easily be the largest one levied against a tech company in history, eclipsing the $22 million fine the FTC hit Google with in 2012 by a magnitude of about 150. And still, looking at Facebook’s stock price, it’s tough not to get the sense that even this enormous onetime fee is viewed by Wall Street as a slap on the wrist, a toll that Facebook needs to pay once to get the monkey off its back. Should the terms of the settlement require Facebook to actually change how it does, well, anything, then you might see investors start to panic. Until then, however, the flimsy current state of tech regulation doesn’t seem to have anyone at Facebook, or on Wall Street, worried.

SACRAMENTO January 13, 2017 – The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is increasing flows to the Feather River in hourly increments between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. today. Total Lake Oroville outflow will increase from 13,300 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 20,000 cfs. Flow will be routed through Hyatt Powerplant and also through the Oroville Dam Spillway. Spillway flows will reach 10,000 cfs.
Anglers, swimmers, boaters, and other river users are advised to be aware of the increased flows, as the river will become deeper and swifter.
Flow in the Feather River Low Flow Channel (from the Thermalito Diversion Dam, through Oroville, to the Thermalito Afterbay River Outlet) will increase from 5,300 cfs to 12,000 cfs, resulting in a river rise of approximately two to four feet depending on the channel geometry at any given location.
Flow in the Feather River High Flow Channel (below the Thermalito Afterbay River Outlet) will increase from 13,300 cfs to 20,000 cfs, resulting in a river rise of approximately one to three feet depending on the location.
The increases are necessary to comply with flood control criteria for Lake Oroville. Outflows are expected to remain at these levels at least through Tuesday. Updates will be provided if any changes occur.
Lake conditions, including lake levels, inflows, and outflows can be obtained via a recorded message at 530-534-2307.

A STEAMY sex session in the morning can keep you in good health, say researchers.
According to a research from Queen’s University in Belfast, a good morning session at least three times a week decreases the risk of heart attack or stroke by half and a regular session improves circulation, thereby reducing blood pressure.
According to a study in New Scientist, a steamy session twice a week enhances IgA, an antibody that provides protection against microbes that multiply in body secretions, reports The Sun.
Morning sex also helps in alleviating arthritis and migraine. It burns around 300 calories an hour that simultaneously diminishes the risk of developing diabetes.
Moreover, an American study involving 300 sexually active women whose partners did not use condoms revealed that they were less prone to de pression.

Whether it’s on the Internet, television commercials, or the newspaper, most of us go through ads without even batting an eye. So why make a conscious effort now to use an ad blocker when using the Internet?
In this article, we’ll explain what an ad blocker is and how it can improve your browsing experience. Only then can you decide if it is worth spending any amount of time and money.
What Does an Ad Blocker Do?
As the name implies, an ad blocker is a type of software designed to stop or limit advertising solutions on the Internet via web browsers or apps. It literally blocks ads from appearing on your page.
Most ad blockers come in the form of browser extensions while some are bundled with cybersecurity solutions such as VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and antivirus programs.
For more on browser extensions, read Browser VPN: How to Choose Best VPN Chrome, Opera and Microsoft Edge.
Should I Use an Ad Blocker?
So, now that you have an understanding of what an ad blocker is, you might be wondering — should I use an ad blocker? After all, if you’ve spent a significant amount of time on the Internet, then you’ve probably already seen hundreds of ads and think of them as nothing more than a minor annoyance. However, as you’ll learn, ads on the Internet aren’t as harmless as most people think.
Consider the following reasons to start using an ad blocker for your activities over the Internet:
Use an ad blocker for Internet Safety
What most people don’t realize is that Internet ads are not only annoying, but they can also prove to be a cybersecurity threat. It is not to say that all Internet ads are bad, but there are many unscrupulous individuals on the Internet that engage in a practice called “malvertising.” The latter refers to the act of disguising malware to look like an ad and then promoting them via ad networks like Adsense, Media.net, and Propeller Ads.
What’s more troubling is that malvertising can infect a user’s device even without clicking the ad itself. Evidence suggests that visiting an infected site is all that the malware needs to infect your device. According to a 2019 report by Confiant (a digital ad cybersecurity company), malvertising is found in 1 out of every 100 ad impressions on the Internet.
An ad blocker can stop users from opening links that contain malvertising and spare you from many headaches in the process.

Improve your internet experience
Most people have become so used to ads that they’re not bothered by them anymore. That said, wouldn’t you agree that your Internet experience would be so much better without them?
Think about it — what if every website that you visit was clean and uncluttered by ads? Imagine watching your favorite videos on Youtube without having to deal with ad interruptions every few minutes (without paying for Youtube premium). Well, that’s just the kind of experience that ad blockers offer.
If you think that the ads you’ve seen on the Internet are just too annoying, then you would probably agree that ad blockers are worth the price of admission.
Faster internet speeds
You might be surprised how much resources websites are dedicating to serving ads. In many popular news and blogs, this can be as high as 40%! Hence, if you use an ad blocker, you could potentially get websites to load 40% faster, and at the same time, get rid of the things that you don’t want to see when using the Internet.
Best VPN to Use With an Ad Blocker
Now that you’ve learned about some of the great things that an ad blocker can do, you might be wondering — how do you go about starting to use one? Well, as mentioned earlier, ad blockers come in many forms from small browser extensions to full-pledged applications.
If the concern is Internet security, then perhaps the best way to employ ad blockers is to use them in conjunction with an excellent VPN service. That way, you don’t stop at just blocking unwanted ads, but also encrypt all data coming in and out of your device. This makes it very difficult (if not impossible) for anyone to keep track of your activities and steal your personal information online.
Which VPN should you use that offers an ad-blocking feature? We recommend the following VPN services:
|Voice call-friendlyconnection speed
|Number of countries
|24/7 Customer support
|No of devices
|Supports chain VPN connections
|Yes (Double VPN)
|Yes (Double VPN)
|Cost (per month)
So there you have it — everything that you need to know about ad blockers and why you should start thinking about using one. It would seem that ads are everywhere on the Internet, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything about it. An excellent VPN service with an integrated ad-blocking feature will enable you to take control of your Internet experience and, at the same time, protect yourself from all manner of cybersecurity threats.

Motor cortex (M1) has lateralized outputs, yet neurons can be active during movements of either arm. What is the nature and role of activity across the two hemispheres? We recorded muscles and neurons bilaterally while monkeys cycled with each arm. Most neurons were active during movement of either arm. Responses were strongly arm-dependent, raising two possibilities. First, population-level signals might differ depending on the arm used. Second, the same population-level signals might be present, but distributed differently across neurons. The data supported this second hypothesis. Muscle activity was accurately predicted by activity in either the ipsilateral or contralateral hemisphere. More generally, we failed to find signals unique to the contralateral hemisphere. Yet if signals are shared across hemispheres, how do they avoid impacting the wrong arm? We found that activity related to each arm occupies a distinct subspace, enabling muscle-activity decoders to naturally ignore signals related to the other arm.

Diseases characterized by a selective degeneration of the motor neurons of the spinal cord, brainstem, or motor cortex. Clinical subtypes are distinguished by the major site of degeneration. In AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS there is involvement of upper, lower, and brainstem motor neurons. In progressive muscular atrophy and related syndromes (see MUSCULAR ATROPHY, SPINAL) the motor neurons in the spinal cord are primarily affected. With progressive bulbar palsy (BULBAR PALSY, PROGRESSIVE), the initial degeneration occurs in the brainstem. In primary lateral sclerosis, the cortical neurons are affected in isolation.

WANT TO BETTER MANAGE THE BUSINESS?
Design and Engineering Organisations
The pressure to deliver quality projects on time and on budget is driving the need for improved real-time collaboration within workgroups; amongst multi-disciplinary departments; with other project stakeholders; and amongst different geographic locations. Real-time collaboration is dependent on effective access to, and management of, design and engineering data and documentation – as well as timeous business intelligence to underpin decision-making.
The OneSolve Vault Adoption Programme™ not only secures design data, but promotes productivity and provides project participants with easy access to current and previous project data and designs. To minimise errors and rework, all project participants are assured of access to the latest/correct design models/drawings. The solution also enables real-time data communication, collaboration and, if necessary, compliance with international Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards.
From simply securing and managing your design data; to improving collaboration; through to implementing a full Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process; the OneSolve Vault Adoption Programme™ is designed for you. The solution is modular and can be implemented in stages over time if desired.
Start with Product Data Management (PDM); add management and collaboration processes to improve quality and reduce waste; or integrate with enterprise technologies such as ERP or MRP to build a customised end-to-end PLM solution. The choice is yours.
Promote productivity by providing designers and engineers with easy access to current and previous design data. Minimise errors, rework and waste by ensuring that all stakeholders have access to (and use) the latest/correct design and manufacturing data.
Plant and Facility Owner / Operators
The pressure to cut costs and better manage and maintain plants, buildings, mines and other facilities is driving owner / operators to better manage their design and engineering data and improve collaboration amongst the various stakeholders involved. There is also the need to reduce business risk and the risk of health and safety issues by ensuring that there is a ‘single source of truth’ for engineering data that matches the reality in the facility.

Yesterday a large number of Australians received an SMS telling them that someone had paid for them to be killed and they would be spared if they paid $5000.
Nicknamed the ‘hitman’ scam, this type of scam has been circulating sporadically for a number of years by SMS and email. Typically, the scammer claims to have been paid to assassinate the SMS/email recipient and that the person has a certain time frame to pay money an amount of money to not have the hitman go through with it. The scammer also claims that they are monitoring the person and any attempt to contact the police will result in the hitman going through with the kill.
This type of scam is rarely used and due to the infrequency of use, is very effective in scaring victims into believing they are being targeted and resulting in the money being paid. There is no need to contact the police as they are currently looking into the scam. It is however, important to let your friends and family know about this scam as one of them may have received the SMS and been too afraid to tell anyone

Hello to all! Peace and Blessings to everyone reading this post! May the Spirit of the Lord be with you.
I have had the feeling of calm. A feeling of quietness. Of stillness. Like the calm before the storm. A feeling that something big is coming soon! Is anyone else feeling this? For the past six months or so, I have felt that we are getting very close to the return of the Lord. I now feel that it is getting very, very close. That Revelation is unfolding quickly before our eyes. Of course the signs are all around us. You would have to be blind not to see them. Yet, so many people, including other Christians just don’t seem to see. Or they don’t want to see or seem to care.
Why do so many so called Christians not want to believe in Revelation. That we are living in the end times? Are they really true believers in Jesus? Do they read and study God’s word? If so, then why do they not believe all of it?
Some times I feel so alone. That I am the only one who believes in the Revelation of the bible. That Jesus is returning soon and the rapture could happen at any time! Although I know that there are millions of other Christians who believe as I do. Yet, I know so many that don’t. I try and explain things to them, but they do not want to hear it. They think that I am over the top! That I am taking the bible too literally. Blowing things up out of proportion!
I believe in God’s word. What he tells us in the bible is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. That what he says will happen in the future, and will happen just as he said that it would. That bible prophecy is infallible. That all of scripture is the true word of God. That if you believe any of it, then you must believe all of it or none of it. If any of it is false, then you must disregard the entire bible!
God is sending us a message. He is warning the world. He is telling us all to repent and seek him for salvation. To live as he intended us to live. That he is about to pour out his wrath upon the world!
The Spirit of the Lord is upon us! We as faithful Christians must warn the world what is coming soon!!! The Lord is calling all believers to be strong, faithful and courageous. To pray for his will to be done in us and the world. To pray for the lost to be saved. Time is so short brothers and sisters!
We do not have time to be disagreeing and arguing with each other regarding scripture. That is not what God wants us to be doing at this time! We need to hold fast and be steady. He wants us to fulfill the commands that he has given to each and everyone of us. To perform the work of our calling. To continue with his work in faith, mercy and grace!
I pray for God to enlighten us, to fill us with the Holy Spirit for direction, instruction and courage! To now pour out his Spirit upon the world for revival. To unite the army of God as one body. To save lost souls. To bring back the lost sheep that have wandered away from their Savior.
Praise God and God Bless You all! Your brother in Christ, Gordon! 😉

Endendigu's cinematography is mesmerising. The cinema is a beautiful visual ride to the viewers.
Overall: Endendigu is a romantic thriller which has not met the expectations of audience. The lead pair saves the movie, and watch it for them.

"It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes" (Psalm 119:71).
"I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me" (Psalm 119:75).
I can be honest with you, and with myself. I am a confirmed complainer. This is something I am working on, but it is a deep rooted habit. When times are hard, when I feel bad, I complain. The last few weeks have been challenging...or maybe it has been months, I'm not really sure anymore. Anyway, God has been asking some questions of me that I have been finding hard to answer. It is one thing to decide if I should wear a jacket or not when I go out of the house, it is another thing totally to make a decision that you know could affect your life for years to come. I wanted to just look up at the sky and whisper, "God, why? Couldn't You have just handled this alone? I trust Your judgement more then I do my own. I wish You had, I don't like this..." I caught myself. I was complaining. Again.
As I was reading through Psalm 119 today I came across these verses. How much I can learn from scripture if I am just willing to do so! Yes, sorting through difficult questions and making decisions isn't easy, but there are two reasons I should remember for not complaining. One, there are people I know who are going through things much more trying then what I'm going through. Two, I need to remind myself of these verses that say that affliction is good for me and that in God's faithfulness He afflicts us. I could call these situations growing pains.Through them I should pray that God will continue to grow me to be more like Him. And I should remember Paul's words. "In everything give thanks" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Thank you Lord for loving me enough to send You only Son to die for me. Thank You for second chances. Thank you for hard times that grow me closer to You. Lord, for everything that is going on, I thank You and ask that You will use it for Your good. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

We rescued a lab and we’re told she was locked up in a chicken coop and neglected Over the past few years she has been great except for one continuing problem. When she sees other dogs, especially in the car, she barks ferociously and at times claws at the window. Over time we have learned that although she appears agressive, she actually is just wanting to get to the to see them. She does the same thing to a lesser degree outside and as soon as she meets the dog she is fine and never agressive. My thought is it stems from the past neglect and yearning for attention Any thoughts on how to address this, especially in the car?? Thanks
If you do decide to take this approach, you’ll need to make sure you don’t expose your pet to the ‘real’ sound while you are training them. Pick a time when you aren’t expecting visitors and pop a note on your front door asking visitors not to knock.
I just got the Petsafe static collar yesterday. It’s amazing the difference. We have a beagle/terror mix and she was just not tolerable. I can actually sit outside with her now. I don’t hear the neighbors telling us off behind the shrubs.
Also, please note that because of volume, we are unable to respond to individual comments, although we do watch them in order to learn what issues and questions are most common so that we can produce content that fulfills your needs. You are welcome to share your own dog tips and behavior solutions among yourselves, however. Thank you for reading our articles and sharing your thoughts with the pack!
Here’s an important distinction to remember as a softhearted animal lover: Attention seeking is different from loneliness in dogs, says Ganahl. She explains, “Many dogs bark for attention, whether they want petting, the food you are eating or something else. It is important that you completely ignore your dog if you feel they are barking for attention, otherwise the barking will continue. If you tell your dog ‘quiet,’ ‘shush’ or any other vocalization to tell them to stop, that is considered attention to your dog.”
Tell your dog to stop barking using a look, a sound, or a physical correction. But don’t stop there. Your dog may pause and then go right back to what he was doing. His body relaxed, but his brain was still on alert. Be patient. Wait until your dog completely submits before you go back to what you were doing.
Repeat this process until your dog learns to associate the word “quiet” with her silence. Once your dog has done this successfully on 10 or more occasions, you can begin giving the quiet command without showing her a treat. If she still complies with your command, then give her a treat. If she does not, you may need to show her the treat for several more training sessions.

Bringing an outdoor dog inside will lessen the noise impact on neighbors, and provide extra security for your home. It’s also safer, because dogs left alone outside can face theft, escapes, poisoning, harassment, and other dangers.
Block what bothers her. If your dog has barking problems whenever she sees or hears something outside, a simple solution might be to block her access to seeing or hearing that trigger. If she stands at the window and barks, try putting up curtains or blinds so she can’t see passing people or animals. If the sounds she hears outside tend to set her off, try leaving a radio on during the day to distract her and muffle the sounds outside your home.
If your dog is barking due to stress, fear, or anxiety, consult with a qualified professional behavior counselor who uses positive modification methods, and try to manage your dog’s environment to minimize his exposure to stressors while you work on a program to counter-condition and desensitize him.
Separation anxiety (SA) is manifested in a number of behaviors, including nonstop hysterical barking and sometimes howling. This is a complex and challenging behavior both to modify and to manage, as true SA is a real panic attack in response to being left alone; dog truly cannot control his behavior. SA usually requires the intervention of a good positive behavior consultant, and sometimes pharmaceuticals.
Once you determine the cause of your dog’s excessive barking, you can begin to control the behavior. The best way to prevent barking in the first place is to try and remove any potential sources of the behavior. You also want to be certain not to inadvertently encourage the barking. Finally, give her better things to do besides barking.
If ‘free time’ is a rather large chunk of your dog’s day, it might be a good idea to up their exercise time (walks, playing in the garden) and/or mental stimulation (training, use of food toys, scent games) in order to tire them out and simply give them something to do that isn’t barking.
Gradually lengthen the duration of time she must be quiet before getting the treat. Eventually, she should reach a point where simply saying the word “quiet” without showing her a treat will elicit a silent response.
Now one way you can do this is by leaving your home calmly and then coming home calmly and ignoring your dog. (I know this may sound a bit harsh to some of you, and it may not be what you want to do, but this advice is all about doing what’s best for your dog and how to stop the barking!) Also, remember they are a different animal, and just like ignoring the cat or a goldfish when you enter the house it will not result in them being upset.
So you have a dog barking problem – What solutions are out there? Trying to stop your dog barking should start with finding out why it is barking in the first pace. This article looks at some motivations for dog barking, what works and what doesn’t!
If you are not sure what your dog is barking at or if he seems to be barking at everything, keep a bark diary. You may start to see a pattern, for example he barks at 3pm when kids are getting out of school. It might be useful to ask your neighbours to do this also, so you know when he is barking when you are not home. Your neighbours also then know you are attempting to resolve the problem.
Leash pulling is often successful for the dog because the person inadvertently reinforces the pulling by allowing their dog to get to where he wants to go when he pulls. But you can change this picture by changing the consequence for your dog.
Once you’ve taught your dog the “quiet” command in a calm environment, practice in increasingly distracting situations until your dog can immediately stop barking when asked to, even when that “intruder” arrives at the door.
Sadly, there is not much to be done short of talking to your neighbor. Try and point out the noise their pet makes is causing trouble for the tenants and offer help on training methods or supplies they could use. Who knows, maybe they didn’t even know they had a dog who barks while they’re away!
Before you can stop a dog from barking, it’s helpful to understand why he’s doing it. Dogs bark for all sorts of reasons, but it’s all a method of communication, says certified canine trainer and behaviorist Susie Aga, owner of Atlanta Dog Trainer.
Teach “hush”: (helpful for territorial barkers and alarm barkers, as well as some excitement and play barkers) sometimes we want our dog to bark for a short time to alert us to people at the door, but many of us would like to be able to stop the barking after a few minutes. Teaching your dog the “hush” command can short-circuit a dedicated barker. The next time your dog barks at something, place a treat in your hand, walk up to your dog and put your hand in front of his nose so that he can smell the treat but can’t get to it. He should stop barking to sniff at your hand. Once he’s quiet and sniffing say “hush” and toss the treat a few steps away from him. Repeat the process until you can just say “hush”’ without needing the hand prompt in front of his nose, then give him a treat. In time, you should be able to say “hush” and your dog will abandon the barking and come to you for his reward for being quiet.
Sue the dog owner in small claims court. Even after getting the authorities involved, some stubborn dog owners won’t comply with requests to quiet the dog. If nothing else works, you can sue for nuisance in small claims court. The goal will be to make a case that the dog’s barking is preventing you from enjoying your own home. If you win, the dog owner will have to pay a small sum of money. Prepare to sue by doing the following:
Any pet parent that has had the misfortune of living with a dog that’s especially talkative, knows how irritating barking dogs can be. I mean, if your dog won’t stop barking at night or drives your neighbors insane with incessant woofs and ruffs, it’s time to do something about it.
“Debarking,” or cordectomy is an elective surgical procedure involving partial removal of a dog’s vocal cords. Debarking does not take away the dog’s ability to bark – it just makes it sound quieter and raspy (considered annoying by some). In this dog lover’s opinion, debarking surgery is unnecessary and unfair to the dog. Surgery and anesthesia are always risks, so any procedure that is purely for human convenience and does not medically benefit the patient or animal community should be avoided. In addition, excessive barking indicates an underlying issue that is usually behavioral. Surgery takes the noise away, but the anxiety, fear or similar problem remains unaddressed. Rather than debarking your dog, spend your time and money on training and/or visiting a veterinary behaviorist.
Studies have shown that the collars that make a noise do not work with most dogs. One study compared the citronella spray collar and the electronic shock collar and found they are equally effective for eliminating barking. Some collars use a microphone to hear the dog’s bark. If you have more than one dog, the second one could set off the collar with his barking. Anti-bark collars are not designed to be left on all the time and your dog may learn not to bark when the collar is on, and then resume the barking when the collar is off.
Use a phrase such as “Over here!” or “Quiet please!” as your interrupt cue. Say the phrase in a cheerful tone of voice when your dog is paying attention to you, then immediately feed him a morsel of very high value treat, such as a small shred of chicken. Repeat until you see his eyes light up and his ears perk when you say the phrase.
When your dog masters going to his spot, start asking him to sit or down when he gets there. As soon as your dog’s rear end hits the floor on the spot, say “Yes!” and reward him with a tasty treat. Then say “Okay,” and allow him to move off the spot. Repeat these steps at least 10 times per training session.
Toys: Separation barkers benefits from having something to do when you leave the house. A hard rubber toy, that dispenses treats are a great way to keep them happy, and their mouth busy with something other than barking. Just be careful that the toy is big enough not to be a chocking-hazard.
Certain dog breeds bark more than others. In fact, some types of dogs were actually bred to be barkers. This may be so they could alert people about dangers, protect homes, or even scare prey out of hiding for hunters. On the flip side, the Basenji does not bark at all (though the breed can vocalize in other ways).
Sarah has loved and trained both dogs and horses from a very early age. Her Staffordshire bull terrier, Mona, is trained as both a therapy dog and disaster stress relief dog. In addition, Sarah has trained her German Shepherd, Soren, as a service dog.
