Q: Linked Server connection started failing with "Cannot generate SSPI context ... SQL Server Network Interfaces: The logon attempt failed" error? The Issue
I have two SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition servers on the same domain. ServerA has two linked server connections setup to ServerB.
The first linked server connection is using a dedicated remote SQL Login security context. That one always was and still is working fine.
The second connection uses the "login's current security context" which is a Windows Authentication (AD) Login on ServerA. This was also working fine up until today.
Today out of nowhere, everyone who connects to ServerA and then tries to run a query that uses the second linked server connection, ends up getting hit with this error:

OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "LinkedServerName"
returned message "Cannot generate SSPI context". Msg -2146893044,
Level 16, State 1, Line 0 SQL Server Network Interfaces: The logon
attempt failed

Also the users are able to directly connect to both ServerA and ServerB fine currently, and even execute queries against objects on ServerB directly, but when they try to run queries referencing the same objects on ServerB via the linked server on ServerA is the only time they get the above error, currently.

Relevant Information
This is what we currently see for SPNs and logs (sorry for all the obfuscation):
ServerB Successful SPN Registration SQL Logs:

ServerB Successful SPN Registration SQL Logs:

*

*Notice both servers are successfully registering SPNs for themselves
for both port 1433 and no port specified.

ServerA Registered SPNs:

*

*I'm not sure what the second "CN=" line (second to last line) is but it literally says "CN=ServerASvc", but that's not the name of the SQL Service account. The SQL Service Account is "SQLServiceAccount1".

*I'm also not sure why the last line has an SPN for just the server name "ServerA" (which we do have a Host / CName for in our DC), but seems redundant to the one of the previous lines.

ServerB Registered SPNs:

To recap my SPNs:

*

*My ServerA's SQL Server Instance's Service Account (let's call it ServiceAccountA) has an SPN to trust its own server.

*My ServerB's SQL Server Instance's Service Account (ServiceAccountB) has an SPN to trust its own server.

*Delegation is setup for ServiceAccountA to be able to access the SPN for ServiceAccountB.

ServerA's service account is SQLServiceAccount1 and is also the same service account used on our DevSqlServer1.
ServerB's service account is SQLServiceAccount2 and is also the same service account used on our DevSqlServer2.
Running the query SELECT net_transport, auth_scheme FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id = @@SPID returns TCP and KERBEROS on both ServerA and ServerB for me.
Also, different SQL Server Instance Service Accounts are running for each server. ServiceAccountA for ServerA, and ServiceAccountB for ServerB.
The night before this issue started happening, Windows updates were installed on ServerB (and a few of our other servers). Specifically this update November 10, 2020—KB4586830 (OS Build 14393.4046)
 which apparently states this:

After installing this update on domain controllers (DCs) and read-only
domain controllers (RODCs) in your environment, you might encounter
Kerberos authentication and ticket renewal issues. This is caused by
an issue in how CVE-2020-17049 was addressed in these updates.

We tried rolling back the update, which invoked a restart of the server and things seemed to start working again, but then started breaking again for just our web server (a third / separate server), which hits our ServerA to query the linked server to ServerB.
Originally ServerA and ServerB were part of separate Windows Failover Clusters (ServerA1 & ServerA2, and ServerB1 & ServerB2). When that was the case, this DBA.StackExchange answer by Hannah Vernon sounded similar to what we experienced.
The only difference is we previously weren't letting the Service Accounts register / deregister the SPNs, when the issue started. Now we are letting them do so, and there haven't been any failover events, and we triple checked all SPNs are setup correctly currently. So I don't think that's our issue here.
At this point in time, both clusters are destroyed, and the secondary servers removed, yet the issue still persists with the individual servers (ServerA and ServerB).

Things We've Tried / Issue Progression
Logging out and logging back in after changing my AD password did not fix the issue, but physically restarting my machine temporarily did fix it for just me.
I ran setspn -l ServerA_SQLServiceAccountName and after I did that, I did see the SPN that was in my SQL Error Log. So I think Pinal Dave was right in my case.
Today I woke up and everyone on my domain is hosed again, myself included.
I tried flushing the DNS on ServerA, and now we're receiving the error "Linked Server error: Login Failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'" instead of my original error, when querying the linked server from ServerA.
It appears I am facing some sort of SPN / double-hop issue because when I RDP directly to ServerA and connect to my SQL Instance on ServerA (from within the RDP session - same account as I'm connecting to the instance when not RDP'ed in) and try querying the linked server, everything is all good. The question is, are my SPNs actually correct? (See current SPNs in the "Relevant Information" section above.)
We triple checked the SPNs, and the AD delegation properties of the Service Accounts. We're fairly confident all ducks are in order. We're fully down again: web server, SSMS, etc, no matter how we try to query the linked server, which I think is due to the default 10 hour ticket time of Kerberos lapsing, and it not correctly renewing a new instance of the same ticket. We're currently facing this error:

Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Login failed for user 'NT
AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

We've been trying to troubleshoot using the Kerberos Configuration Manager and the only issue it found (this entire time) is a warning saying "Kerberos Configuration Manager reports that "TCP must be enabled to use Kerberos Authentication":

We've checked TCP is enabled in both of our servers, so I'm not sure why it's saying this warning or how to troubleshoot it, and if it's our root issue or not.
Another thing worth noting is we've only been intermittently down for most of the time. That is, some users are able to successfully query the linked server when using our applications (web, mobile, etc) and some aren't. So if it was a true SPN issue, I would think no one would be able to query the linked server - an all or nothing situation. This definitely feels more like a random Kerberos issue (possibly related to the Windows Update mentioned earlier).
At this point, we've tried purge on our KLIST Kerberos tickets, ipconfig /flushdns both on the client machine and servers (SQL Servers, DNS Servers, and Web Server), and have tried restarting the client machines and server machines, rolling back the aforementioned Windows Update on whatever machines we were reliably sure had it, in addition to everything else previously mentioned, to no avail. At best we've gotten very intermittent mixed results with sometimes restarting the client machine sort of works, temporarily.

Current Situation
Currently everything is truly a single server for ServerA and a single server for ServerB (these were Windows Failover Clusters at the start of this issue, but have seen been removed and the clusters destroyed). We also have dev copies of ServerA (ServerADev) and ServerB (ServerBDev) which share the same SQL Service accounts.
We've since setup replication from ServerB to ServerA to side-step the issue in production for now, but we encountered the same issue on our dev environment this week as well.
I tried using xp_cmdshell to run klist purge and I cycled the SQL Services for both ServerADev and ServerBDev, but the issue still persisted.
At this point, I'm pretty sure the issue is due to the botched Windows update November 10, 2020—KB4586830 (OS Build 14393.4046) that specifically states "you might encounter Kerberos authentication and ticket renewal issues". Unfortunately this was installed on a multitude of our servers (both SQL Servers and Domain Controllers) and subsequent Windows updates that have ran, remove the botched update from the Windows Update History, so I have no reliable way to tell which servers even originally received the botched update.

A: You have already stated, respectively listed what the issue could be:

OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "LinkedServerName" returned message
"Cannot generate SSPI context".
Msg -2146893044, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 SQL Server Network Interfaces:
The logon attempt failed

So what is SSPI? Microsoft describes it as:

In conjunction with its operating systems, Microsoft offers the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI). The SSPI provides a universal, industry-standard interface for secure distributed applications.

Reference: Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) (Microsoft Docs)
Basically it's how an application authenticates itself, the user or other components against an endpoint asking for authentication.
In the Architectural Overview there is the description that ...

A variety of SSPs and packages are available. Windows ships with the NTLM security package and the Microsoft Kerberos protocol security package. In addition, you may choose to install the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security package, or any other SSPI-compatible SSP.

Reference: SSPI Architectural Overview (Microsoft Docs)
NTLM
When your old application starts in the other domain it will pass on the old NTLM SID value and compare it with what is stored in the SQL Server instance.
If there is a match [Domain/User] with a SQL Server Login [Domain/User] then SQL Server will let the user login to the relevant databases. SQL Server will do the same for a [Domain/User]  that is assigned to a SQL Server Windows Group Login.
Kerberos
Kerberos relies on the ability of a user or service account being able to generate a token (of a request) and to compare this with a central provider to determine if a user is who he/she/them claim to be.
emphasis mine

Kerberos V5 is based on the Kerberos authentication system developed at MIT. Under Kerberos, a client (generally either a user or a service) sends a request for a ticket to the Key Distribution Center (KDC). The KDC creates a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) for the client, encrypts it using the client's password as the key, and sends the encrypted TGT back to the client. The client then attempts to decrypt the TGT, using its password. If the client successfully decrypts the TGT (i.e., if the client gave the correct password), it keeps the decrypted TGT, which indicates proof of the client's identity.

Reference 1.1 What is Kerberos and How Does it Work? (MIT Kerberos V 5.0)
Explanation Summary
So your Server A is trying to access Server B via a Kerberos Authentication but failling to succeed, because the SPN could be missing.
To achieve a successful authentication the Server(s) should have a Service Principal Name (SPN). Which is described as:

A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. This allows a client application to request that the service authenticate an account even if the client does not have the account name.

And a bit further down the possible root cause:

If you install multiple instances of a service on computers throughout a forest, each instance must have its own SPN. A given service instance can have multiple SPNs if there are multiple names that clients might use for authentication. For example, an SPN always includes the name of the host computer on which the service instance is running, so a service instance might register an SPN for each name or alias of its host. For more information about SPN format and composing a unique SPN, see Name Formats for Unique SPNs.

Reference Service Principal Names (Microsoft Docs)
To Cut a Long Story Short
If either your application (host) and/or your SQL Server Instance are unable to register a Service Principal Name then your application/server will be unable to authenticate users via Kerberos and your linked server may fail.
Check the ERRORLOG of your SQL Server instance and verify that the SQL Server instance was able to register its own SPN. There will be an entry during the instance startup procedure.
The SQL Server Service Account can do this if it is a Domain Service Account and some other conditions are met. Some being:

The client and server computers must be part of the same Windows domain, or in trusted domains.

and

A Service Principal Name (SPN) must be registered with Active Directory, which assumes the role of the Key Distribution Center in a Windows domain. The SPN, after it's registered, maps to the Windows account that started the SQL Server instance service. If the SPN registration hasn't been performed or fails, the Windows security layer can't determine the account associated with the SPN, and Kerberos authentication isn't used.

Once your SQL Server instance has its SPN registered, then you should be up and running.

Solutions
Manual SPN Registration
Well you have to be a Domain Administrator or allowed to change Computer Account objects on the OU of the domain. Then you can run SETSPN with the relevant parameters:
setspn -A MSSQLSvc/host.domain.tld:1433 domain\accountname

Reference: Manual SPN Registration (Microsoft Docs)
Once an SPN has been configured for a service account, then you should be able to start the server again and access the database.
SPN registration requires a restart of the service.
Modifiy OU Object's Permissions
In order for the SQL Server's Service Account to create a SPN automatically in Active Directory it (the service account) should have the permissions to modify its own object (OU).

When the Database Engine service starts, it attempts to register the Service Principal Name (SPN). Suppose the account starting SQL Server doesn't have permission to register an SPN in Active Directory Domain Services. In that case, this call fails, and a warning message is logged in the Application event log as well as the SQL Server error log. To register the SPN, the Database Engine must be running under a built-in account, such as Local System (not recommended), or NETWORK SERVICE, or an account that has permission to register an SPN. You can register an SPN using a domain administrator account, but this is not recommended in a production environment. When SQL Server runs on the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system, you can run SQL Server using a virtual account or a managed service account (MSA). Both virtual accounts and MSA's can register an SPN. If SQL Server isn't running under one of these accounts, the SPN isn't registered at startup, and the domain administrator must register the SPN manually.

Reference: Register a Service Principal Name for Kerberos Connections (Microsoft Docs)
Assigning the Permissions

To grant permission to modify SPNs

*

*Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, click Run, type dsa.msc, and then press ENTER.

*Click View, and verify that the Advanced Features check box is selected.

*Click Advanced Features, if it is not selected.
If the domain to which you want to allow a disjoint namespace does not appear in the console, take the following steps:

*

*In the console tree, right-click Active Directory Users and Computers, and then click Connect to Domain.

*In the Domain box, type the name of the Active Directory domain to which you want to allow the disjoint namespace, and then click OK.
As an alternative, you can use the Browse button to locate the Active Directory domain.

*In the console tree, right-click the node that represents the domain to which you want to allow a disjoint namespace, and then click Properties.

*On Security tab, click Advanced.

*On the Permissions tab, click Add.

*In Enter the object name to select, type the group or user account name to which you want to delegate permission, and then click OK.

*Configure the Apply onto box for Computer objects.

*At the bottom of the Permissions box, select the Allow check box that corresponds to the Validated write to service principal name permissions, and then click OK on the three open dialog boxes to confirm your changes.

*Close Active Directory Users and Computers.

SPN registration requires a restart of the service. You should see a successful SPN registration in the ERRORLOG of the permissions are set correctly
Increase Kerberos Token Size
In some cases an account can belong to too many objects/AD groups/ ... which will result in a rather larger Kerberos Token. In these cases you might have to increase the max token size.... Symptoms may include:

A user who belongs to a large number of security groups has problems authenticating. When authenticating, the user may see a message such as HTTP 400 > - Bad Request (Request Header too long). The user also has problems accessing resources, and the user's Group Policy settings may not update correctly.

But

Under similar conditions, Windows NTLM authentication works as expected. You may not see the Kerberos authentication problem unless you analyze the Windows behavior. However, in such scenarios, Windows may not be able to update Group Policy settings.

Reference: Problems with Kerberos authentication when a user belongs to many groups (Microsoft | Docs)
Fix

On a domain controller that is running Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012, you can use Group Policy to add the following registry entry to multiple computers:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
Entry: MaxTokenSize
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value: 48000

Solution Based on Referenced Answer and Multiple Updates to Question
After reading through all the additional information in the question and other answers, I have come to the conclusion that all possible solutions have been looked at. I think this Q & A could possibly be closed as duplicate of the question which you referenced with Hannah Vernon's answer.
However I would like to provide a solution on how to apply a fix for this issue.

When an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine starts, SQL Server tries to register the SPN for the SQL Server service. When the instance is stopped, SQL Server tries to unregister the SPN. For a TCP/IP connection, the SPN is registered in the format MSSQLSvc/:.Both named instances and the default instance are registered as MSSQLSvc, relying on the  value to differentiate the instances.
For other connections that support Kerberos the SPN is registered in the format MSSQLSvc// for a named instance. The format for registering the default instance is MSSQLSvc/.
Manual intervention might be required to register or unregister the SPN if the service account lacks the permissions that are required for these actions.

Reference: Register a Service Principal Name for Kerberos Connections (Microsoft | SQL Docs)
Interesting Bit of Information

One thing that should be noted is granting these rights is not recommended (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319723) if SQL Server is clustered or if you have multiple domain controllers as latency in Active Directory replication can cause connectivity issues with your SQL Server instance.

Reference: Register a SPN for SQL Server Authentication with Kerberos (MSSQLTips.com)
So the solution would be to actdually revoke the Service Account the ability to modify its own object, which would deny it the possibility of removing an SPN during failover.

*

*Start Active Directory Computers and Users and make sure you are looking at the Advanced View version.

*Open up the Service Accounts properties and switch to the Security tab.

*Select the Self item from the Group- or Username section and look at the Permissions for SELF.

*Remove the Full Access and/or Write and/or Write servicePrincipalName and/or Write Public Information permission if they are selected.

*The Write servicePrincipalName might be located in the Advanced section of the Permissions (click on the button Advanced).
This should prevent further issues when the cluster does a failover because instances are restarted, which would result in the SPN being de-registered.

A: From your client (e.g. PC), when you log into ServerB, and run the following, what do you get?
SELECT net_transport, auth_scheme
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
WHERE session_id = @@SPID

Ideally, you will see something like TCP and Kerberos.  If you see Shared memory, you need to run this again from a remote client (as that only shows up with connections made locally from the server).  If you see NTLM, then ServerB does not have a valid SPN registered for it.  If it says Kerberos, we still need to dig further into Active Directory SPNs to see what's going on.
Instead of using setspn -l as you've already tried, use setspn -q, as follows:
setspn -q MSSQLSvc/ServerB*

The asterisk is important as it denotes a wildcard search looking for any SPN adhering to that format.  setspn -l, is garbage, in my opinion, as it only tells you a part of the story you really care about: it lists SPNs associated with the computer or user account you specify, and it won't list SPNs for this particular service under a different service or machine account (which is what you really want to find when troubleshooting).
I suspect you'll find at least one extraneous (e.g. a second SPN for ServerB) or misconfigured entry (e.g. your SPN shows up under an incorrect account or with an incorrect port).  If an SPN listed is not associated with the user account running the SQL Server service on ServerB, this is the cause for your SSPI context issue.  To fix this, you will need to delete the bad SPN via setspn -d and then register the proper one associated with the account running the SQL Server service on ServerB, via setspn -a.
If you don't see any bad SPNs, the only other option I can think of (based upon your note about it working only after you restarted your PC) is you've got some bad DNS cache entries floating out there.  The only way I know to fix this from the client-side, aside from your already discovered approach of a PC restart or to let the entry age out of cache is to flush it by running the following via command prompt (or PowerShell):
ipconfig -flushdns

You could try running that command on ServerA as it is acting as the client to ServerB when trying to connect remotely.
If neither of those options work, please update your question as there are some other (and more obscure) possibilities that could cause this behavior.
As an aside, it also sounds like you're running delegation, and if you're like a gross majority of organizations you're running unconstrained delegation.  I encourage you to look into traditional constrained or resource-based constrained delegation configurations as they tend to be more secure when it comes to unauthorized access elevation.  More information on this can be found in another of my answers, here.
Active Troubleshooting Instructions
Note: Feel free to obfuscate the results, but make sure they're consistent within your answers and in relation to your question.
Can you provide the output of the following:

*

*What SPN does ServerB attempt to register at startup (found within the ERRORLOG)?

*What does setspn -q MSSQLSvc/ServerB* return?

*What service account is the ServerB SQL Service running under?

*Did you run the first query in my answer against both ServerA and ServerB?  If so, did Kerberos appear in the results for both servers?

Ok, so to me you have some improperly registered SPNs on the network, but it sounds like your real issue had to do with delegation no longer functioning (which in part depends on accurate SPNs being registered).  In this response, I'll talk about your SPNs and how they should look, but regarding delegation, I'll once again point you to my answer in a separate thread regarding that topic.  In that answer, I list what the types of delegation are, how to configure them, and most importantly at the end, I provide a link to a PowerShell script that shows you what servers are configured with what type of delegation so you know if it's configured properly or not.  Fair warning here, it's a long answer, but delegation is a complicated topic so I encourage you to read through all of it.
Now, for the SPNs...  Before I know which ones are accurate, you need to answer the following question.  What account is running your SQL Server service?  Is it NETWORK SERVICE (or one of the other local accounts such as LOCAL SERVICE or LOCAL SYSTEM) or a proper domain account?
From the pic showing your SPNs registered for ServerA, it looks like you have a computer object listed as well as a service account, which I find suspicious:

Normally, I would expect to see the MSSQL service running under a machine/computer account if the service is running as one of the built in accounts (e.g. NETWORK SERVICE, LOCAL SERVICE, LOCAL SYSTEM) OR a service account (e.g. Domain\UserName); NEVER both.  The message in your ERRORLOG could also be a bit of a red herring here.  If SQL Server already sees a SPN for the service (regardless if it's correct or not), it will show the following message in the ERRORLOG:
The SQL Server Network Interface library successfully registered the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com ] for the SQL Server service.
The SQL Server Network Interface library successfully registered the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service.

Which is what you're showing in your screenshot.  What you should look for is if the SPN is being successfully deregistered, as that will confirm if the service account has sufficient Active Directory permissions to manage its own SPNs.  That message would look as follows:
The SQL Server Network Interface library successfully deregistered the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com ] for the SQL Server service.
The SQL Server Network Interface library successfully deregistered the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service.

You can quickly check for this by running the following command which searches the last ERRORLOG for any records with SPN in them:
EXEC xp_readerrorlog 1, 1, N'SPN'

If you see a message that says it "could not deregister the SPN" that further enforces my suspicion your SPNs are incorrect.
With correctly registered SPNs, what you should see is something as follows:
C:\>setspn -q MSSQLSvc/servername*
Checking domain DC=domain_name,DC=com
CN=serviceAccountName,CN=Service Accounts,DC=domain_name,DC=com
        MSSQLSvc/servername.domain_name.com
        MSSQLSvc/servername.domain_name.com:1433
        MSSQLSvc/servername:1433
Existing SPN found!

What this shows is that the SPNs for the MSSQL Service are registered to a Service Account, not a server.  If your services are running as domain accounts this will be the results format you want to see, but since this isn't what you're showing, you should recreate your SPNs under the proper Service Account.  If you need formatting for this operation, let me know, but it's basically the setspn -d setspn -a dance.
Finally, as John K. N. pointed out in another answer on this thread, you can configure the server to register its own SPNs automatically.  However, I've not worked with a Network Admin that is yet comfortable with the instructions provided by Microsoft to automate this as they over-grant permissions to the objects for this functionality.  Thankfully though there is a way to configure an OU on the domain to allow for self-registration of SPNs without over-granting permissions.  Those instructions can be found on this additional dba.se question, here.
SPNs are not easy to wrap your head around.  They are integral in a service establishing trust on your network, so even slight misconfigurations can spell disaster.  Again, there is a lot of information to digest in my answer, but a combination of the correct SPNs and the proper AD objects being configured will allow you to configure delegation in a fail-proof and security-conscious manner.

A: As a DBA I've experienced more SPN issues than I'd care to imagine. For us, the SQL account we are allowed to use to install SQL Server do not have permissions to write the SPNs to Active Directory.  So, SQL uses the NTLM authentication instead. And from there some SPN issues do rise to the surface.
Having said all that, your question seems to arise suspiciously around the time Microsoft just released updates causing authentication issues with whole host of online services including exchange.
Option 1: Roll Back the Latest Microsoft Patches
Before you get too SPN crazy, and I've been there, try rolling back the Microsoft patches on the aforementioned boxes where you are having the issue. Even if it's just for Windows Server.
Option 2: Analyze your SPNs with KCM and generate the missing ones
If that fails, I would analyze your SPNs in Microsoft Kerberos Configuration Manager. Running it we realized that some SPNs were missing that were needed on some of our boxes. The tool allowed us to generate the scripts so our Windows Server guys could run them with the right permissions to get the SPNs into Active Directory. It's a GUI tool that really added value for us when our last SPN issue occurred.
I realize there's all kinds of advice and suggestions, I just thought I'd add mine to the mix.

A: This error usually comes when the Windows user account is expired and he is already logged in with old password. Just ask the user to restart his machine and check if the password is expired or he has changed the password. Hope this helps!!!!!

A: Do check all the client/server times carefully, including the timezone offsets.
as @MBuschi notes, lack of time sync can also cause the SSPI context to fail.

Q&A with Adele Holmes
Photo by Lori Sparkman Photography
Adele Holmes is the author of the new novel Winter's Reckoning. A retired pediatrician, she is based in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Q: What inspired you to write Winter's Reckoning, and how did you create your character Maddie?
A: The inspiration to write Winter's Reckoning originally came from two places: my desire to simply write and a tug on my heartstrings to pass on to my descendants what I'd learned from my ancestors, specifically through my grandmother.
It was in the image of my grandmother that Maddie was formed. Of course, once Maddie appeared on the page she became her own person with her own character flaws. While my grandmother was not much like Maddie in many ways, Maddie's essence is truly and thoroughly the grandmother that taught me about life. It is this essence that I want my descendants, and all the world, to remember.
I might add here that many think that either Maddie or Hannah (the granddaughter) must be representative of me. Neither are. I personally exist in the etherland somewhere between the two—though definitely not the daughter, Jane.
Q: A review of the book in Chanticleer Book Reviews said, "Simply put, here's a story that takes on issues whose harm remains with us today." What do you think of that description?
A: My answer to this is a definitive, "Hurrah!"
As the story unfolded, our world became a much more divisive and hateful place. The issues Maddie tackled—racial discrimination, women's rights, educational regression—are very real still today.
A theme of the story is showing how ugly our past as a nation has been at times, to help us see where we are now, and to spur readers to desire a better future. To cease the repetition of the sins of our past.
Q: Did you need to do much research to write the novel, and if so, did you learn anything that especially surprised you?
A: Yes, I did tons of research. Before the pandemic, I was able to attend conferences—both medical and literary—where I honed in on information about herbalist healing. Being a physician, I knew about the disease processes, but I'd never paid much attention to the alternative medical healing practices such as herbalism, which was about all they had in the early 20th century.
Herbalism led me to exploring long past healing crafts: those of Native Americans, early Scandinavian, and medieval times. So, pre-pandemic I did a lot of physical backstory research. I was able to actually travel to learn.
During the pandemic, research entailed mostly online learning. I enjoyed tracking down copies of old of-the-time books (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the original World Books, Wells's and Chopin's novels, all of which were referenced in Winter's Reckoning), learning about the newspaper business and linotype operations, and sadly, the history of the Ku Klux Klan.
There's always so much to learn about a specific time period, and I find all of it fascinating.
Q: How has your background as a physician informed your writing?
A: The story of healing is paramount in this novel, and will continue in future works. They say "write what you know." I'm not sure that's a mandate, but if you love what you already know how to do, it's such a pleasure to write about it. I'm not sure I could completely convey the crux of the illnesses I describe if I didn't understand them to begin with.
Still, it's fun to learn new things—like alternative methods of treating disease, ways that may have been used in the distant past, etc.
A: I am so excited that I literally don't know which way to go. Before Winter's Reckoning I started on a novel that has a fictional medical mystery storyline. While researching backstory, I fell in love with Maddie's tale and so put that first one aside to write Winter's Reckoning as a debut instead.
Then, wouldn't you know it, I fell in love with the backstory to Winter's Reckoning.
I have started a prequel which tells the stories of four of the foremothers/ancestors to Maddie's line. One each in early Norway (did you know there were witch trials in Bergen in the 1500s?!), Prague, France, and New England (again, witch trials). All places I travelled to gain insight.
So there you have it, a prequel/backstory and a sequel that ties it all up with a (fictional) scientific explanation for an inherited "gift" that ran through generations of women for centuries. I can't say much about that without giving it away, but I can tell you it makes me tingle with anticipation.
A: My mantra is that if everyone would do what they loved doing, perhaps you could say what they were gifted with, then the world would flow right as rain.
I loved my pediatric medical practice, I love to write to express my soul, I truly want to do my part to make this world a little better. Hopefully this book, and its prequel and sequel, will do that.

Q: PySide6 pixelates PNGs When im trying to add a PNG to PySide6 GUI it loses in quality.
Here is the code:
import sys
import random
from PySide6 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtGui
from PySide6.QtGui import QPalette, QColor

BOARD_SIZE = 4

class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.resize(500, 300)
        self.setWindowTitle("2048")

        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        grid = QtWidgets.QGridLayout()

        # QtWidgets.QApplication.setGraphicsSystem('native')

        for i in range(BOARD_SIZE):
            for j in range(BOARD_SIZE):
                path = "./img/" + randomTile() + ".png"
                img = QtGui.QImage(path)
                pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap(img.scaledToWidth(150))
                label = QtWidgets.QLabel()
                label.setPixmap(pixmap)
                grid.addWidget(label, i, j)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])

    widget = MyWidget()
    widget.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec())

Original image:

After the quality loss:

The .scaledToWidth() function isn't the problem, as the image without it in the program is still pixelated:

I would like to emphasize that the problem doesn't lay in scaling. Quality is messed up even without scaling.

In Heaven, each soul is a praise of glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is because each soul is fixed in pure love. Each one "no longer lives its own life but the life of God" (St. John of the Cross). The soul "knows itself", says Saint Paul, "as it is known by God." Its will the will of God. Its love the very love of God.
In reality, the Spirit of love and power transforms the soul. Given in order to supply what is lacking, as Saint Paul explains, the Holy Spirit accomplishes this glorious transformation in it (see Romans 8:26). Saint John of the Cross affirms that for the soul that has surrendered to God, little is left to; by the power of the Holy Spirit, it attains the degree of which we are speaking here below! This is what I call a perfect praise of glory!


Does the Great Commission Require Me to "Go"?
Was he correct? Was the Great Commission a command for Christians to leave home and go to the mission field? Are we being disobedient when we stay?
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:16–20, NIV).
It's important to point out that Christ's command isn't as cut and dried as it appears. In the Greek, the imperative is on the command to "disciple." This means that the emphasis of the passage lies in the requirement to make people mature followers of Jesus. At the beginning of this movement, that would have required that the disciples go out to spread the gospel, and they did.
So why are they still in Jerusalem?
In Acts 15 we find a problem brewing in the early church. Jewish Christians are demanding that Gentile Christians get circumcised. Paul and Barnabas find themselves embroiled in a controversy over whether the Gentile believers need to become Jews before they can become Christians. Of course Paul and Barnabas are opposed to this idea.
"When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them" (Acts 15:4, NIV).
This faction is sent to Jerusalem to meet with the apostles. Why are they still in Jerusalem?!
Most of the disciples at least did some travel to spread the gospel, but as the church grew, they needed a base of operations. There needed to be a place where groups like this one from Antioch could receive training and wisdom from those who walked with Jesus.
Sharing the gospel with those around us.
Leading studies to help people learn to follow Jesus more closely.
Contributing financially to organizations that are spreading the gospel.
Praying for the spread of the gospel locally and abroad.
God's commission is to grow and expand His kingdom throughout the world, which means that we're missionaries everywhere we find ourselves. If you're ready to learn how you can make a bigger impact in the Great Commission, download a free copy of We Are All Missionaries.
This four-week, discussion-based curriculum is a fantastic way to get your small group or youth ministry talking about what it means to share the gospel. Download your copy today!


The U-S Embassy in Nairobi has reopened to the public. The embassy closed last Friday and had remained closed following renewed warnings of a possible terrorist attack in the Kenyan capital.
People seeking visas to the United States waited for hours in lines that stretched around the U-S Embassy compound. Many were applicants whose appointments had to be rescheduled because of the three-day closure.
Last Friday, U-S officials announced they were shutting the embassy's doors as part of an ongoing process to close the mission one day a week to review security measures. The one-day closures have been routine since mid-May, when the United States, Britain and other European countries issued a heightened terror alert in the east African country.
But embassy officials decided to keep the mission closed for two more business days after U-S intelligence agencies warned of a fresh plot, possibly by the al-Qaida terrorist network, to attack the three month-old embassy.
U-S officials will not say how much the threat against the embassy still exists. But they are continuing to urge non-essential embassy personnel to leave Kenya, and a U-S travel advisory for the country remains in place.
The Kenyan government, which is losing millions of dollars daily in tourism revenue because of the terror threat, says it welcomes the U-S Embassy reopening as a sign that the overall threat in the country is decreasing. Robinson Githae is Kenya's assistant minister of justice and constitutional affairs.
He says, "We are happy that they have opened. We are now urging them to go ahead and revoke that travel advisory so that other countries also can now follow suit. America is now the only world power, so there are quite a number of other countries waiting for America to revoke the travel advisory."
The new embassy was built to replace the one destroyed in a terrorist attack here in 1998. The bombing, which killed more than 200 Kenyans, has been blamed on al-Qaida.
Al-Qaida has also claimed responsibility for last November's suicide bombing at an Israeli-owned hotel and the simultaneous, but unsuccessful, attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner in the Kenyan coastal town of Mombasa.
On Monday, a court in Nairobi charged four Kenyan nationals with 13 counts of murder for their alleged roles in the hotel bombing in Mombasa.
The Kenyan government also recently banned all flights to and from neighboring Somalia, the Muslim country that has not had an effective government for 12 years. It is believed to be one of the main transiting points and staging grounds for al-Qaida operatives in east Africa.
Kenya says it hopes these measures will help assure the international community that the country is doing its best to combat the threat of terrorism.


I'd post a map today, but it's late, and I still have a ton of stuff to do before tomorrow, so sorry, maybe tomorrow. Definitely by Wednesday.
Flier is through Lombok and is entering Makassar Strait, where she will be for about two days or so.
It's amazing there's ANYTHING left of this wreck, really.
Nothing else to report today. I'm finishing up some items to go in the exhibit, and double checking to make sure I have EVERYTHING I need to bring to this shindig since I'm going to have to return a lot of original source materials to their owners, but it was an honor to be their caretaker for as long as I was and to use the original materials in my research, rather than second or third hand stuff. (I did have to use that, but not as much as I thought I would have to).


This study examines the consistency and microphysics assumptions among satellite ice water content (IWC) retrievals in the upper troposphere with collocated A-Train radiances from Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) and lidar backscatters from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP). For the cases in which IWC values are small (<10 mg m(-3)), the cloud ice retrievals are constrained by both MLS 240- and 640-GHz radiances and CALIOP 532-nm backscatter (532). From the observed relationships between MLS cloud-induced radiance T-cir and the CALIOP backscatter integrated (532) along the MLS line of sight, an empirical linear relation between cloud ice and the lidar backscatter is found: IWC/(532) = 0.58 +/- 0.11. This lidar cloud ice relation is required to satisfy the cloud ice emission signals simultaneously observed at microwave frequencies, in which ice permittivity is relatively well known. This empirical relationship also produces IWC values that agree well with the CALIOP, version 3.0, retrieval at values <10 mg m(-3). Because the microphysics assumption is critical in satellite cloud ice retrievals, the agreement found in the IWC-(532) relationships increase fidelity of the assumptions used by the lidar and microwave techniques for upper-tropospheric clouds.


project off of my primary book template. The nice part is that the book will actually look like a book as I'm writing it to make for easier editing/reading drafts.
Started into a comprehensive outline for the book.
Any chance next IndieWeb meetup we might do a chat to work at same time difft place?
We should definitely set up a virtual one some time in the next few weeks. Let me see what I can pull off.

Six Irish people rescued from highest peak of Arctic mountain
The climbing party were recovered from summit of Kebnekaise from the Scandinavian mountain range. File picture.
Mon, 23 Aug, 2021 - 12:45
Vivienne Clarke
Six Irish people have been rescued from the highest peak in Sweden, located within the Arctic Circle.
Climbers faced difficult conditions and temperatures of -10C but, despite this, some were still dressed in shorts and t-shirts, according to the President of the Swedish Mountain Rescues National Organisation.
Richard Svedjesten recalled the rescue which, he said, are quite common at this time of the year.
Kebnekaise, the highest peak in Sweden, has a peak of over 2,000 metres (almost 7,000ft).
Mr Svedjesten told RTÉ radio's Today show when there was very good weather during the day but climbers faced severe cold and windy conditions after dark.
The biggest problem was when people were not prepared.
"Bad equipment and bad clothing" contributed to the issue, he said.
The rescue of the Irish party from the summit of Kebnekaise had to be deferred to first light on Monday as conditions had been too cloudy for the rescue helicopter, he explained.
All six of the group were rescued off the summit of the mountain by helicopter on Monday.
The group travelled up the mountain yesterday morning and reached the summit. Mr Svedjesten said weather conditions worsened on their journey down and the group got separated.
The alarm was raised by a phone call from the group.
There was very good mobile phone coverage throughout Sweden, he said, including on mountain ranges.
No preparations taken
"Everybody makes this mistake," Mr Svedjesten said of the group who went walking up the mountain without the proper equipment or clothing. One of the party was reported to be dressed in shorts.
People did not always check the weather forecast before going on such outings, he said.
Mr Svedjesten recommended that Irish people check the website of the Irish Mountain Rescue service before attempting any mountain walks or hikes.
Every such trip should start at home by checking equipment, being prepared and letting people know where they were going.
The six people are said to be in good condition but were waiting for medical assessment.
No age or gender breakdown was immediately available but he confirmed they were all adults.
In recent weeks, the Kerry Mountain Rescue Team has spoken out about the challenging rescues it has had to conduct on Ireland's highest peak.
Last Monday, it reported 16 rescues had been conducted in August already, and a further three have taken place since.
The group urged people to "get serious" about safety on the mountain.

How to Stay Positive Around Negative People: Be a Mirror for the Light!
When we're around negative people it's very easy to be taken down by their energy. If we're not paying attention, we can soak up their darkness without even realizing it.
If you're an empath or if you're highly sensitive to other people's energetic vibrations, you may be especially prone to taking on other people's negative energy. This practice is very important for you!
In this video and post, I offer guidance on how to stay positive when people try to bring you down. The tools I share will help you avoid getting sucked into negativity. Instead, you will spread light and actually lift up others as well!
Is there a low-vibe person in your life?
Is there someone in your life who tends to be negative? Or someone you tend to be negative with? Maybe your friendship started because you both worked in a job you hated, and you bonded by venting over it. And now, months or years later, complaining and ranting is still the basis for your friendship.
Maybe there is someone in your life who is going through a tough time and is leaning toward the negative. And when you're around them, your energetic vibration plummets. You go from positive to pissed off in minutes. We've all been there. We've been the negative person and the person who got dragged down!
I heard it loud and clear. My job isn't to soak up the negativity, fight against the negativity and create more negativity. My job is just to stay rooted in my conviction and commitment to the light.
This is your job, too. Stay grounded. Stay committed to positivity, to the truth, which is love, to the truth, which is light, the truth, which is forgiveness and compassion and non-judgment. When someone is being negative or even attacking you with their words, you don't have to say anything at all. You don't have to fight back.
Instead of saying something that you might regret later, just be in the energy of the light. Trust that being positive and staying in the light will not only protect your own energy but reflect the light back to the other person as well. They will soften. Their energy will lift, if only a little bit at first. Plus, your energy toward them will change. You will see them in the light and easily forgive their negativity.
We're all just energy beings bouncing off of each other. If we as lightworkers take on the responsibility to be the mirror for the light, we will have a much easier time dealing with the negative people in our lives.
If you have negative people in your office, just make a commitment every day to sit at your desk as a mirror for the light. Envision that you've got mirrors around you and the light is reflecting off you.
If your romantic partner brings negative energy home, be that mirror for the light. If you have a coworker who always complains, be a mirror for the light. If you have a friend or a loved one who always starts ranting or gossiping the minute you get together, be a mirror for the light!
I understand this isn't always easy. It's not something that comes naturally to us. Sometimes it does require a lot of effort and commitment and conviction. But all you need is the willingness. Start to practice it. Get into the habit of being the light. Check out my book Miracles Now for lots of fast, easy ways to protect your energy and raise your vibration.

I have a quick question. All throughout my life I have always wanted to help people- I knew that at a very young age. The last three months I have suffered from crippling anxiety and, while I am getting better, I have found that people are being gravitated more towards me.
Within the last three months, at least five people who I have never been close to have contacted me out of the blue, seeking help in their personal lives, I know you always say that, depending on what energy you put out into the universe, you attract that energy back towards you. I have lived by this thought process, but I am confused as to why the Universe is connecting me to people who need help?
By nature I am a very loving and maternal person. I just KNOW that the last three months I have been putting out some funky vibes because of my nerves. How is it that I am calling more people into my life to help them, even when I have been a nervous wreck?
Man, I NEED to remember that service is a way out of my deep funk today!!!!
I just had a radical shift- by practising my music today I am serving the world!
I KNOW that my creative vision & music is meant to serve the world but seeing this small action today as service gives me greater motivation to practise in my deep funk today.
Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this today.
When im on my college campus and around NYC , people who are being negative normally make me feel the same way. I love what you said even in the beginning of the video where you honor their path. Im beginning to see that the challenging people are there to help me live a better way. Thank you. This video came right on time! lol.
just be the light. Such a positive message, I needed this reminder to stay grounded to my commitment to light especially this week because I have a fam wedding this weekend where a lot of sadness might be lingering around.
Have a Beautiful and Wonderful Day!
beautiful! I'm going to do this. Thank you for sharing.
Yes and Yes!! Great message ??
I myself can be a negative Nancy and I'm not proud of it. I have become more and more aware of my negative thoughts and outlook. I do much better when I add meditation to my daily life. I think by visualizing myself as a mirror for the light, I will quit being a sponge for the darkness. I really like that saying you came up with. Thanks for sharing it and giving me a way to work on being more positive, not only for myself but for others.
When I saw this topic I eagerly clicked on to watch, only to have my enthusiasm put out like water dashed on a fire! I understand the intent, however when one has spent a lifetime of being the beacon of light, there comes time when the beacon dims and help is needed from another who understands and is willing to be the igniter of new energy and a wall of protection during the healing! It's like when Superman comes in contact with kryptonite and needs help to be pulled from it's presence or it taken away from his presence. All in all, there still is a period of recuperation that's needed and a time to be cared for. Peace & Blessing.
Thank you, Gabby. I needed to hear this today. I tend to allow the negativity affect me far too deeply and personally. I feel so injured by it that I react in a way I am not proud of at all and then I have so much trouble forgiving myself for the reaction. It's just a cycle I need to break. But, I have a question. How do I know when my light is just not wanted in a situation? If the person continues to, knowingly, try to bring me down or hurt my feelings, do I continue to stay in the light or do I walk away. I am just so confused because I want to stay in the light with all people, but it gets to a point where I start to feel a bit abused and hurt by the negativity. I know this is my ego feeling hurt, etc., but I guess my issue is about boundaries. I don't know when to set them and when not to. I forgive and forgive…is that the only thing I need to do? Forgive and stay in the light?
You have changed my life in so many ways. Thank you, Gabby.
I too feel this way, Sarah. Curious to know Gabby's suggestions. Loved this vlog! Im such a perceptive person-often to my detriment. Working on loving but protecting my energy.
Thank you for this reply, Caroline. It helps to know someone else out there feels the same way. I agree, this vlog was perfect and just what I needed. I know the answer is to be the mirror of light, but sometimes I struggle with knowing exactly how to do this…in all situations. Knowing we are all in this together really helps. We are all the light! And to quote Passenger, "if we all light up, we can scare away the dark." Thank you, Caroline.
I have a real challenge when it comes to feeling my energy being dragged. I totally understand that people can bring you down by being negative, but how would you deal if you are a high introvert (which to me means that I get my energy from being alone and I lose it when I'm with people) and also a High Sensitive Person that has very few filters and everything around me affects me at a more sensitive level? As much as I love spending time with my friends, family and people in general, I usually feel that I have to be protecting myself and being on guard so I don't feel energetically depleted. Can someone help?
Diana – that things could describe me as well and I do healing work with animals and people so have to stay grounded and well). I have found the key to a healthier, happier life is clearing out old, stuck energy (Qi Gong has been huge for me, yoga and meditation, and getting body work from a good energetic bodyworker, craniosacral, therapeutic massage, reiki, etc). Once you get rid of some of that stuff dragging you down (it is an ongoing way of life but clearing out some of the energy cobwebs really helps), you have to have an ongoing practice to balance your core (chakra clearing or whatever works for you), clear yourself, and ground yourself. I think for sensitive people boundaries are the fundamental issue to help you not take on stuff that isn't for you anyhow. We can't carry the load or learn the lessons another needs to do for themselves, and to take that on makes it harder for us to accomplish our soul's purpose, which is our greatest gift and mission in life.
Thank so much for your help and for replying to my message.
Thank you Diana and Elisabeth for sharing your postings and issues!
Diana, I just feel like you and in many cases I thought I will now collapse because I simply can't stand what's going on any more…I had an inner shaking and trembling and had no idea who I really was….
only when I was alone, I could recover a little bit.
after weeks of holidays just one single day at work made the whole recovery ineffective…oh what a struggle, what an endless fight!
I heard that I have to clean myself and to protect myself and to make clear boundaries, but I had no idea how. I started to train hard and to do qigong and also workouts in order to strengthen by body…but that was so hard work and I did it because of pure despair. when I had to go to work at 7, I got up at 4.30 in order to train for an hour….it helped a lot but it was nothing I wanted to do my entire life….and so I finally found Gabby. It was her book I saw in a a local bookstore and from the beginning I started reading and experiencing with her exercises, I began feeling better and better and my personal breakthrough was her video where she showed how I could clean myself with the help of the spirit, god, the angels….and how I could protect myself. I practice every day with joy and enthusiasm and the results are truly amazing. miracles are happening every day now!
it feels so heavenly good, when the energy comes back!!!!!!
thank you all your beautiful souls, Diana, Elisabeth, Gabby and all the other writers here.
I love what you have to say about negativity. Sometimes the person who is negative, just feels that he or she is being practical, not negative and continues on the same conversation, which really is negative. thank you for today's post.
Thank you for your reassuring message Gabby. As an empath I really have to watch that when I do absorb people's energy that I am able to quickly let it go. I clear my space and my energy often. Tapping (EFT) is great at helping me let go of negative energy and empower myself with positive thoughts/emotions. I find that as I am building my own coaching/hypnotherapy practice that I have to examine all of the comments friends and family members make to me about my business success. If it's not a belief I share, I have to identify it as their story and let it go. It is all a constant practice.
Laura – I am going to be taking hypnotherapy courses next year to add to my wellness coaching and chronic illness recovery practice. Chronic illness requires letting go of a lot of beliefs and I currently use a sound table to help with that, and hypnotherapy will be the last piece. And all those tools help us stay in good shape too. I know my purpose on life is to be a healer and spiritual helper, and to do that I have to do a lot of self-care as well. I love having a calling that demands I stay in good health and balance to do my work!
What a great exercise. I actually need to try it this morning in dealing with one of my employees. This is something that could really be used not only dealing with negative people, but dealing with stressful situations. Using the image of mirrors being the barrier to any negative vibrations is awesome! Thank you!
fabulous post Gabby. I would add to "effort, commitment and conviction" – courage. I find that the one thing that consistently stands between me soaking up the darkness and mirroring the light is the courage to risk being left out or rejected because I am taking a stand for something different. Thank you!
I work with horses and they absorb and reflect your energy and teach you so much about dealing with negativity without words !
the universe brings you the lessons you need, when you need them. How do I put your suggestion in practice? Today, my Angel told me to turn thoughts toward the positive. So, I walk into my office or into my home with Oscar the Grouch growling about EVERTHING! How do I get to that higher vibration?
Thanks for sharing! We can feel the levity! How do bear witness specifically? Let him vent without interruption? Sometimes I feel the person goes on and on and after half hour of just listening, I may interject and it seems the person doesn't want any assistance, feedback etc. thanks for sharing. Also, if I say "sorry that happened." And then not much more it sometimes works but feels vacant and trite. Love and light!

This is SO great! I'm going to use this while teaching my Pilates classes. So many people in class have negative body/food issues (been there!!!) and focus on what's "wrong" with their bodies, what they don't like. I'm going to be a reflection of the light so they feel strong and empowered inside & out!
This is exactly what I needed to hear! My boyfriend and I were going through a rough patch – he saw an ex girlfriend behind my back. I called my friends and family looking for support because I was upset. I told them he had cheated before I knew all the facts and had given us a chance to talk about it. A very long story attempted to be made short – he did lie, but it wasn't what I thought it was, and he was the one who came out and told me the truth because he wanted us to be able to move forward and keep building what we were without something like that hanging over us. To me personally, I know what him and I have and I know people make mistakes because we are just human. Since this all happened he has been nothing but amazing and showing me all the light in the world. He has been my positivity and support long before this and still is. But as him and I try to work and move forward, I have all the negativity from the friends and family I turned to when I was hurt. They are making judgments and being unsupportive and I just feel all this negativity and negative energy from so many of them that it is making it difficult to move forward with this person I know I am sure of and am confident in. Is it because I am making the wrong decision by wanting to move forward with him or is it other people making judgements and opinions on something they don't truly know about?
Whenever my kids call me with negative situations I try to turn it into a positive, but because this is a different approach for me and they aren't used to it, they tend to make fun of me and my advice is perceived as not caring and wanting to dismiss their frustration.
I'm glad that you made this video because it's something that make great efforts in doing. I have a situation at work where I received a negative review and it's frustrating to say the the least. The problem isn't about getting feedback, but more about how the person phase the review. I certainly wouldn't tell anyone that they limited analytical skills and has a lack of commitment to the job. I don't consider these statements feedback, but more or less how the person really thinks of me. She may not budge from whatever position she holds. It's tough, but going for walks doing lunch is grounding me.
Amazing vlog! I've been trying my best to be supportive of my friend who is going through a difficult time at her new job and she exudes so much sadness and negativity that I'm absorbing her energy. Lord knows I'm not perfect but there comes a time when I just want to cut ties with her because I'm afraid of hearing how depressed she is when I'm trying to bring peace into my life. This is an assignment that is a tough one for me because as much as I love my friend, I feel a huge weight (and starting to feel irritated) when I receive a text or phone call from her. I will need to be a mirror for the light instead of a sponge for darkness. Thanks for all you do! I think you are amazing and truly inspiring.
Good one, Gab! Love that!
I believe I did this last week and a loved one said to me 'you're not perfect. don't act like you're perfect', but I believed that I was being the light and reflecting the light… Would love your guidance on this.
p.s. Going to see Gurmukh speak in T.O. tonight… Psyched!!!!
Currently sitting in an office with a very low vibe. THANK YOU for the reminder to be the lighthouse, no matter what. I can tell I'm soaking up the bad vibes when I start to get headaches and a tight jaw. Anyone else experience these physical symptoms too? It's amazing just how strongly the negative energy can take hold. Deep breaths and another large glass of water. Thanks for coming to the rescue with this message, Gabby!
Oh yes, I feel the low vibes with my whole body! This could go so far and extreme that I start to get panic, when I loose my energy in low energy places or with people!
Yes, Gabby! So true. We must create the space between our thoughts and what is being shared and allow the presence of love and light to shine through. Happy Monday!
I have the same issue with my husband. And since I started to protect my self and clean myself I feel so much better, but in the same time I can feel how he is struggling and fighting and he seems to be even more negative. My new behavior influences him. Instead of getting angry, arguing with him and all that negative stuff, I do my best to be the light, to shine and reflect the light. I do so, so much inner work when we are together and I hope that he will have a break-through, too….all the best, love & light for our relationships!
Wow! I so needed this today! I have a friend who is currently going through a difficult time and I'm starting to feel like he would rather sit in his own negativity and be miserable, than to consider anything positive that I have to say. However, this vlog gives me some valuable information on how to deal with other people's negativity and not allowing it to affect my happiness. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for this great advice! I definitely needed this and have been working on this for awhile. I find it challenging to do this, but am getting better and continuing to work on it.
DUDE! I just got the most amazing idea for a painting!!! Listening to this vlog and the ideas shared today gave me a lovely vision, I shall bring it to life!
Can I mail it to you once It's finished?
I had an intense discussion today with someone that is what I call an emotional vampire. I'm sure you've all met one before. They're the "me, me, me" person that's always negative and somehow they take energy from you. They leave you exhausted after a conversation. I really needed this today. My spirit feels re-energized. I need to remember this and put it into practice.
You need good boundaries to ward off emotional vampires 🙂 Once you set limits they tend to find someone easier to prey on, they prefer the weak.
Family can be the toughest as they think because they are family, no boundaries necessary. And for us some of them require the biggest boundaries. Good luck! I actually use the image of an energy bubble with white light to define my boundaries as it defines my energy field while creating protective and loving light. Basically a version of what was talked about here. Has been hugely helpful for me.
That's so true. I'm going to try to practice the things I've learned here today.
Thank you for this vlog, Gabby! I have been struggling with this for the past week at my job so this was a needed reminder and lesson! Love that most of your blogs speak to exactly what I need at the time I watch them. Love and light to you!
I can't wait to go to work tomorrow and picture mirrors all around my desk radiating my light! Thank you for this one, Gabby!
This is PERFECT for what I need to help me in situations exactly like you describe! Thank you for taking the time to do these Gabby. Don't stop!!
Love this! I totally relate with a similar experience a few weeks ago. My boyfriend and I had been going out to get takeout. I had a bad cold, so I felt a bit cranky and stressed.
In the car we got to talking and, at some point or another, he got upset by the way I spoke to him and he started to lecture me about it. I didn't say anything or react. Just remained calm and took it in — I didn't feel attacked or take it as one. Just let it be as is.
It seemed that was all I had to do… to simply be the strong pillar of light and acceptance in that moment and it was enough to turn around a would-have-been argument into a comforting and loving place for both of us.
thank you Gabby, as always, you offer wonderful insight and advice to contemplate. I really believe that there are certain people that are so stuck in their stuff ( i have been there many of times) that they do not see that they are sucking peoples energies. I am doing alot of work on deflecting the negative and reflecting the positive; and as you mentioned, it isnt easy, but its worth practising. Sat Nam to you too!!!
I just loved the "stay in your presence" answer and that all that is really required. That way it is indeed easier to be a reflector of light and to focus on JUST that instead of trying to say something that changes the other person.
this was spot on and just the message I needed to hear as I sit in my office. So much love for what you do! Thank you!
I used this technique yesterday — and slept better last night than I think in months.. maybe years. Hmm. Thanks Gabby!!!!
Great video. Be the mirror. I always try to live with this philosophy in life and online. Thanks!
Just what I needed to hear this morning on my way into work!
Wow. Standing in complete gratitude for the syncronicity of the universe in the timing of when I was lead to watch your message. In the middle of dealing with an employee who adds a lot of stress to my job, starting to get a 'tude about the most recent issue – and then your message just evaporates all that darkness. Thanks Gabby!
Thank you so much Gabby I really needed to hear this.
Everyone is trying to bring me down these days.
Hi Gabby , so recently i heard a voice say You have such a holy presence that surrounds you tap into that and you will live in fear no more.. Im tring to trust this voice but it seems to good to be true , or that im making thisup .. any advice.. although then when i said this and denied it, i heard trust the voice of truth?!
Great post Gabby. Just a quick question/comment re this blog post.
I am remaining positive when it comes to my finances, but my Mother has a tendency to be Negative Nancy. She's investing in the stock market and I have explain to her that money is energy, trying to think of it as fun and light, but she doesn't listen and calls me and vents and vents. Are there any tips and tricks you can recommend for how to deflect her negativity and to help her see/gain prosperity?
There is so much negative energy in this world!! It is unbelievable. I feel like most people think you work and then you die!! Most people don't believe in the impossible and no one thinks you can live the life of your dreams. It is so hard to be positive in a negative world surrounded by cynical people. But I love shining the light that I have and I will NOT let my hopes and dreams ever stop because I will not stop believing in myself.
Cheers to being positive in a dark light!!
Gabby, you are my spiritual reflector. Everything you say is what i've always been thinking. I suffer with this issue myself. It's not until you allow your light to come out and shine, do you realise how much negativity falls within your path. Whilst the positivity can help overlook the negativity. I often find people can struggle with you being positive and open when they're so keen to remain in the negative mindset – how do you get beyond this?
I have a neighbour who struggles with her own mental health issues and since i've dared to let my light shine she's taken a turn against me. Almost trying to ruin my inner party and trying to prove there's negativity within me. I've greeted this with my commitment to love and kindness. But as a result – this has only pusher her away further, meaning that she no longer wants to be in my company. It's sad but potentially god helping me stay on the right path?
Finally – words don't justify how excited i am for seeing you in London in a few weeks.
Keep doing what you're doing! The world needs more people like you!!!
You're work has really inspired me to get in touch with my inner guide but I feel like I'm not hearing it with the certainty that I hear about. How do you find it and how do I know I'm not just making it up since I feel unsure of its voice?
Impeccable timing! Thank you SO much!
This was timed perfectly. I'm currently facing a boss who is so negative, tired and run down that within minutes of arriving at work I feel sucked up by her energy. She drains me of any positive light or energy and it's absolutely EXHAUSTING being around her, even when I set up my bubble and commit to being the light for her. I try and demonstrate in my own way, set an example of gratitude, of taking steps to make things better but she seems hell bent on burning herself out and has an answer (always negative) for every suggestion or piece of advice or encouragement I give.
It's so so hard in these instances to continue to be the mirror. It's exhausting and draining. I'm no stranger to hard work and I by no means quit easily but I'm beginning to find it incredibly difficult to tolerate and be the light in this situation.
I have some compassion, in that I know she is stressed, tired and to some extent she is suffering and using being busy as a way to avoid uncomfortable or difficult issues I know she has. She is also an advocate of busy/tired/exhausted = success (I am so tempted to give her Arianna's 'Thrive'). But lordy it's hard to remember that compassion sometimes when she isn't willing to help herself, she isn't willing to see the light that is right infront of her.
Sorry to rant! I think this just shows how much she is really getting up in my grill and how much of a test this is for me. I'm trying to see it as a test of my compassion, my light, my strength, my patience and my commitment to this path, but it's not easy trying to stop myself getting sucked up by it!
There is no such thing as energy vampires. We all create our own realities so if you feel that someone is sucking your energy it is because YOU are allowing it. You're passing the buck if you think any other way.
If you feel that you are getting drawn into petty arguments and getting upset then take responsibility for your feelings, open your awareness and see why it is affecting you. Why are you entangling yourself with them? If you are truly grounded and rooted in your own power then you can go anywhere and do anything and not be affected by any situation or person.
Also don't allow people to stay in victim mode. If someone is playing the victim, call them on it! Sometimes tough love is exactly what someone needs.
Thanks for the advice Gabby! I have been struggling of late with the intense negativity that is in my workplace. It makes me dread going to work and leaves me exhausted at the end of the work day, unable to do much in my home life. All in all, it's not working! I think there are times when I get too sucked into the negativity and am not quick enough to recognize it when it's affecting me. The video was great and I will endeavor to reflect life everywhere! Do you have any thoughts on being more in-tune with my body and my energy to see these moments and allow myself time to react to them with a positive attitude?
Thanks again, love your vlog, blog, books, etc.!
Hi, I wanted to say thank you for your site, Ive definitely been through my dark times and paths, I had once looked into this before and tried it and now this looks like the time to try again.
I have a family member who insuates my fiancé and I dog friendly home is to blame for a tick being on their child's head which They found 5 days after being at our home… How can I be the mirror here?
I watched this video before but needed to watch it again to remind myself of the way to shift into a place of love. I find myself wondering if there is a balance between shifting to a reflection of light and standing up for yourself? I believe that you teach people how to treat you, so putting my foot down seems sometimes necessary. However, it puts me in a space that is not natural and comfortable for me. I will try harder to be a mirror for light.
Hi Gabby! I would really appreciate your advice about a situation at work. My boss of several years resigned, and I cried. I remained in my office the majority of the day and cried. Then I was told that it was a foolish, unprofessional, and abnormal behavior. That I made it all about me. Is it not ok to cry at work?
Just had to emphasize Now i am grateful I stumbled on your web page!.
Thank you Gabby! I SO needed to hear this today. I am REALLY struggling with a family member who has mental health issues aswell as an addiction. I've managed to be consistent in my positivity for the past few weeks until today. I snapped when they phoned moaning. I was horrible. I did witness it though (been watching SO many of the backdated miracle membership videos this past few days) and I realized as soon as I hung up. So instead of phoning back I texted this person, saying how much they are loved and that I'm sorry. They just caught me at a bad time, feeling poorly and I had no patience. I then went on to tell them how I have faith in them that they can beat this addiction. I reminded them to read Gabby's books. (I've bough them the set, but sent them home with two.) I reminded them that Gabby's book had helped before and it was the key to turning this around again.
However, since I spoke to them a little part of me was still feeling guilty, not knowing how to be positive when they're so negative, and really exhausting to deal with at times. Then I saw your blog. So I thank you Gabby! Yet again you've shared exactly what was needed.
Wow. I honor you for doing the work and looking for the spiritual solution. This is a testament to how much the Universe supports us. Stick with your practice. You are the light.
Thanks so much Gabby. I've had a friend that has become more negative and low vibes. I know she has a lot going on in her life. I've been taking her negativity personally and have not reacted well to her. I now know what to do.
Hey Gabby, well wrote. I think, to stay positive around negative people, the best way is to ignore their behavior and speech.
Loved your post. Especially today, when I needed it the most.

Q: Issue with merge sort Algorithm MergeSorting algorithm not working. Keep getting an IndexOutOFBoundsError. I believe the issue may be because there isn't a sentinel. I need to create a loop when the leftarray and rightarray is copying itself to k, one of the arrays runs out of numbers, which causes an error. I need some assistance creating this sentinel.
private static <T> void mergeSort(Comparable<? extends T>[] items, int begIndx, int endIndx) {
    if (items.length > 1) {
        int midIndx = items.length / 2;

            left[i] = (T) items[i];
        }
        for (int i = midIndx; i < items.length; i++) {
            right[i] = (T) items[i];
        }

        mergeSort(items, begIndx, midIndx);

            i = i + 1;
        }
    }
}

I created an integer array arr = new Integer[5]. So those 5 numbers should be sorted.

A: There are multiple problems in your code:

*

*it is unclear if the index endIndx is included or excluded. The code is much simpler if the endIndx is excluded, and the initial call to sort the array is simply: mergesort(arr, 0, arr.length);

*the initial test in mergesort is incorrect: instead of testing the array length, you should test if the slice has more than 1 element:
if (endIndx - begIndx > 1)

*the arrays left and right are unused in mergesort.

*allocating an extra element in the arrays left and right in merge is not required, it is much simpler to compare the array index values against the lengths of the subarrays. This sentinel approach is confusing and should not be used.
Here is a simplified version:
private static <T> void mergeSort(Comparable<? extends T>[] items, int begIndx, int endIndx) {
    if (endIndx - begIndx > 1) {
        int midIndx = items.length / 2;
        mergeSort(items, begIndx, midIndx);
        mergeSort(items, midIndx, endIndx);
        merge(items, begIndx, midIndx, endIndx);
    }
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private static <T> void merge(Comparable<? extends T>[] array,
                              int begIndx, int midIndx, int endIndx) {
    int sizeOfLeft = midIndx - begIndx;
    int sizeOfRight = endIndx - midIndx;

    /// change to generic later

    T[] leftArr = (T[]) new Object[sizeOfLeft];

    for (int i = 0; i < sizeOfLeft; i++) {
        leftArr[i] = (T)array[begIndx + i];
    }
    for (int j = 0; j < sizeOfRight; j++) {
        rightArr[j] = (T)array[midIndx + j];
    }

    int i = 0;
    int j = 0;
    int k = begIndx;

    while (i < sizeOfLeft && j < sizeOfRight) {
        /// use comparable to compare actual values

Masanobu Fukuoka was one of the first people to actually do farming in a permaculture sense, and he did so before permaculture was put into the system it is today. So we could say that he in many ways is the father of permaculture. Many of the principles we know from permaculture, comes from his ground breaking work. His book The one-straw Revolution is an interesting book about the thoughts and insights that led him to farming in a different way.
He was born and raised on the Japanese island of Shikoku. This is also where he returned after he had a profound spiritual insight, that made him turn his back on the scientific world he had been working in.
The book is not only about farming, it is both philosofical and spiritual. This also lays the foundations for his holistic approach to farming – natural farming. He takes us trough his thoughts and trails and errors on the way to creating his farm. This way we learn the basic prinsiples of observing nature and copying what works, trying things out and adjusting to make it work. Even if the types of crops he is using might not grow everywhere, the princiles of succesion planting, no tilling, and irrigating would work everywhere.
To sum up his approach to farming, would be to say that he does "do-nothing farming". His work was aimed at eliminating as much labour as possible. To find the solutions that makes work as simple as possible and keeping things natural. For example, by not pruning his friuit trees, he eliminates having to go over the orchared to prune each year. Once he figured out how to get the trees to thrive and produce without mainenance, he had eliminated a whole lot of work. And he still got producing trees!
I found the book interesting, althouh the process of growing rice and grains etc. is not very relevant to me and I will not be able to replicate that, I can still make use of the same technique with other crops. All in all it is an must read book for anyone interesting in permaculture and how this whole movement got started.


There has been much discussion by insurance carriers at the local level about how to appropriately code for an MRI of the brain and an MRI of the internal auditory canal (IAC) if both studies are performed, and if a specific number of sequences needs to be performed before coding for both.
If a complete MRI of the brain study is performed in conjunction with a complete study of the IACs, it is appropriate to code for two MRI of the brain studies; a "–59" modifier should be appended to the second MRI brain code to indicate that separate and distinct services were provided. On the other hand, if a complete MRI of the brain is done with just a few extra sequences focused on the IACs, the extra sequences would be considered part of the base study, and only one MRI of the brain study should be coded.
It would be difficult to set the reimbursement rate for a limited MRI study based on the number of additional sequences, because each patient study has its own protocol. The number of sequences needed to fully evaluate the patient's condition, injury or disease varies and is part of the original MRI study ordered.
Note that a radiology group rarely performs a full MR of the brain with a separate and distinct study of the IACs; therefore, the ACR does not see the need to develop a new CPT® code that describes MRI of the IACs. Instead, Medicare carriers and other third-party payers should allow radiologists to submit two MRI of the brain codes when it is medically necessary to perform separate and distinct studies and when appropriate documentation is provided.

Seagate and IBM announced they are working together to reduce product counterfeiting using blockchain and security technologies. The project, which is designed to help manufacturers, integrators, and business partners fight counterfeit hard drives, uses the IBM Blockchain Platform to authenticate the provenance of disk drive products, bringing a new level of multi-layered security protection to the data management industry.
According to the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, global trade in counterfeit and pirated electronic products has reached more than $1.7 trillion in value. To verify product authenticity, Seagate will update the Blockchain Platform on the IBM Cloud with product authentication data based on the Seagate Secure Electronic ID at the point of manufacture. Each unique identifier, serving as an electronic fingerprint, can be used to verify the identity of a hard drive at any time during its product life cycle.
Seagate's Certified Erase employs cryptographic erasure technology to produce a digital certificate of data purge, which is electronically signed by the device under the Seagate Secure public key infrastructure (PKI) and stored on the blockchain for compliance management with emerging global data privacy laws. The eID and Certified Erase capabilities are built on the Seagate Secure technology, which can enable higher levels of trust of product provenance and proof of data erasure.
