Kenneth Ring was in his mid-40s when he started to get interested in near-death experiences and the possibility of an afterlife. Death wasn’t something to fear, even his own.“I don’t believe near-death experiences prove anything like (an afterlife), but if you look at the evidence and you look at the testimony of near-death experiencers, it’s pretty hard not to think that life is not a dead end, that life continues,” says Kentfield resident Kenneth Ring, the preeminent authority on near-death experiences.

In others, it might create problems (at a neighbor).Dogs bark for a variety of reasons, including alerting to an intruder, excitement, loneliness, anxiety, fear and fun. Some breeds were developed to be guard dogs or alert barkers. They’re more sensitive to sounds or intruders and will often bark first and ask questions later. In addition, barking is a self-reinforcing behavior. Some dogs simply enjoy “talking.” Hoping the behavior will go away on its own will likely fail. Yelling at your dog for barking simply teaches them that you can bark, too. So, how do you modify the behavior?First, figure out what kind of barking your dog is doing.• Alert barking: letting you know they’ve seen or heard something out of the ordinary.• Defensive barking: trying to make something they’re afraid of or don’t like go away.• Frustrat...Latest news
