Q: What is the physical meaning of the partition function in statistical physics? In many places in statistical physics we use the partition function. To me, the explanations of their use are clear, but I wonder what their physical significance is. Can anyone please explain with a good example without too many mathematical complications?

A: It's $e^{-F/T}$, where $F/T$ is the free energy normalized by the relevant thermodynamic energy scale, the temperature.  The exponential is just a monotonic reparameterization, so morally speaking, the partition function is just the free energy that's available to do useful work.
Another interpretation: if you normalize it so that $E = 0$ is the ground state, then roughly speaking, it's the reciprocal of the "fraction of the system that's in the ground state."  Extremely heuristically, let $g$ be the total amount of the system that's in the ground state, $e$ be the total amount of the system that's in an exited state, and $s = g + e$ be the total amount of the system.  Then $g/s$ is the fraction of the system that's in the ground state, and its reciprocal is $s/g = (g + e)/g = 1 + e/g$.  The Boltzmann weight gives that the relative weight (or "amount") of each excited state $i$ with energy $E_i$ relative to the weight of the ground state is $e^{-\beta E_i}$.  Summing over all the excited states $i$, we get the partition function $s/g = 1 + e^{-\beta E_1} + e^{-\beta E_2} + \dots$.

A: Partition function physical meaning is the following:
It expresses the number of thermally accesible states
that a system provides to carriers (e.g. electrons).

A: The partition function is a measure of the volume occupied by the system in phase space. Basically, it tells you how many microstates are accessible to your system in a given ensemble. This can be easily seen starting from the microcanonical ensemble.
In the microcanonical ensemble, where every microstate with energy between $E$ and $E+\Delta E$ is equally probable, the partition function is
$$Z_{mc}(N,V,E)= \frac 1 {N! h^{3N}}\int_{E<\mathcal H(\{p,q\})<E+\Delta E} d^{3N}p \ d^{3N} q \tag{1}$$
where the integral is just the hypervolume of the region of phase space where the energy (hamiltonian) $\mathcal H$ of the system is between $E$ and $E+\Delta E$, normalized by $h^{3N}$ to make it dimensionless. The factor $N!^{-1}$ takes into account the fact that by exchanging the "label" on two particles the microstate does not change.
The Boltzmann equation
$$S=k_B \log(Z_{mc})\tag{2}$$
tells you that the entropy is proportional to the logarithm of the total number of microstates corresponding to the macrostate of your system, and this number is just $Z_{mc}$.
In the canonical and grand-canonical ensembles the meaning of the partition function remains the same, but since energy is not anymore fixed the expression is going to change.
The canonical partition function is
$$Z_c(N,V,T)= \frac 1 {N! h^{3N}}\int e^{-\beta \mathcal H(\{p,q\})} d^{3N}p \ d^{3N} q\tag{3}$$
In this case, we integrate over all the phase space, but we assign to every point $\{p,q\}=(\mathbf p_1, \dots \mathbf p_N, \mathbf q_1, \dots \mathbf q_N)$ a weight $\exp(-\beta \mathcal H)$, where $\beta=(k_B T)^{-1}$, so that those states with energy much higher than $k_B T$ are less probable. In this case, the connection with thermodynamics is given by
$$-\frac{F}{T}=k_B \log(Z_c)\tag{4}$$
where $F$ is the Helmholtz free energy.
The grand canonical partition function is
$$Z_{gc}(\mu,V,T)=\sum_{N=0}^\infty e^{\beta \mu N} Z_c(N,V,T)\tag{5}$$
where this time we are also summing over all the possible values of the number of particles $N$, weighting each term by $\exp(\beta \mu N)$, where $\mu$ is the chemical potential.
The connection with thermodynamics is given by
$$\frac{PV}{ T} = k_B \log (Z_{gc}\tag{6})$$

Arian Foster Week 14 Fantasy Projections
By Kris Willis@Kris_Willis Dec 11, 2011, 9:01am CST
Share All sharing options for: Arian Foster Week 14 Fantasy Projections
Injuries to the Texans' quarterback position and top wide receiver Andre Johnson have running back Arian Foster projected to carry a big load in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, given the injuries to the Texans' passing game, look for the Bengals to load up against the run in an effort to slow down Foster.
NumberFire.com projects Foster at No. 7 in its Week 14 projections overall and as the No. 2 running back trailing only Baltimore's Ray Rice.
After an injury plagued start to the season, Foster has made the most of his opportunities during the Texan's six game winning streak. He has scored a touchdown in each game of the winning streak and has gone over 100 yards four times. Last week he carried the ball 31 times against Atlanta for 111 yards and a score.

You don't need to be a Master Mechanic to understand that steering is a pretty integral part of driving. By definition, power steering is a system that reduces the steering effort the driver needs to apply by using a power source to assist in turning the wheels. So, how do you keep your steering system operating smoothly?
The steering wheel and attached shaft in the steering column. These connect to the steering gear.
Along with these three major components, your power steering system may also contains a power steering pump, steering gear, linkages, bearings, drive belts, valves, seals and hoses. Yes, it's pretty complicated stuff.
If you think there's an issue with your steering, please call us immediately. Our Master Mechanics can help. While many issues may be quick to fix, we don't advise working on your steering system yourself.
If you feel your steering is stiff, you might simply need new power steering fluid. Power steering fluid provides hydraulic pressure and lubricates your power steering system. When your power steering fluid becomes oxidized, its ability to protect components and transfer pressure is decreased. It is important that you completely flush the old fluid before replacing it. Like replacing your oil, this will ensure all contaminants are removed and that your steering system is performing at its best.
Most power steering systems use a belt driven pump that provides hydraulic pressure to the system. There is a rotary-vane pump which is driven by your vehicle's engine that creates this hydraulic pressure.
If you notice any screeching or squealing noises when accelerating, you might be experiencing low belt tension, contamination or belt vibration. Inspecting your belt tension and making tensioner adjustments should part of the routine maintenance your mechanic performs on your car. Catching these issues early can save you a lot of headaches and money down the line.
Another critical element of your steering system are the high and low-pressure hoses. These hoses transfer pressure from the pump to the steering gear and should be checked for signs of wear such as cracks, cuts, abrasions, stiffness, bulges, or excessive softness.
dedicated front wheel and/or rear wheel drive cars should have tires replaced in pairs. Most all wheel drive vehicles require all 4 tires to be replaced as the differing tire diameters can damage all wheel drive systems.
At Master Mechanic, we thoroughly inspect your steering systems and pay particular attention to the wear of your tires since this could be a sign of larger issues. Even if you feel comfortable performing maintenance yourself, we still strongly recommend consulting with a professional technician to keep everything in your steering system working properly. This isn't a system you want to take shortcuts with.
The team at your local Master Mechanic is always happy to help, so please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns about your vehicle. We'll get you moving in the right direction!

Janyelle and Amber at Cloud Nine (Cloudninerocks.com) have created so much positive change in our lives! Our son was recently diagnosed with two extremely rare chromosome abnormalities, which combined have resulted in a case unlike any other documented worldwide. These wonderful ladies have spent a lot of time, knowledge, experience, and energy helping us improve his mental and physical status through the combination of energy movement and massage, their individual talents, as well as connecting us with people and products for more help with various conditions. Their influence using just their skills alone was a phenomenal game changer for our family, but even more so was the spritual and emotional healing they provided without even knowing. These ladies are some of the nicest, most loving human beings I have had the pleasure of meeting! In a world that is harsh for delayed and disabled children and their parents, these two are a light in darkness. They have laughed, cried, worried, rejoiced, and so much more with us as we struggled with medical and life issues. They care about my son just like family and poured themselves into all the work they have done with him. They have given us information and tools to use in all aspects of our lives and his response has been pretty awesome. Yet of all the techniques and tools they have used to improve our lives, the loving nature and atmosphere has truly been the most healing and helpful treatment we have ever received! So go see them for their talents, techniques and tools to find relief and health, but also be prepared to find two souls with whom you'll never want to much part. There's just too much healing and love there!
I want to thank Amber Boston (Cloudninerocks.com) and Janyelle Huff for all the help you've given my family. Amber has helped me with so many sinus issues and stiff muscles. I injured my back several months ago I could barley walk from the terrible pain after 3 treatments with her massages I was good to go. I've called her with lots of issues and she always fixes me. I've seen Janyelle for a couple of months for Intuitive Healing it has helped me so much I feel so much better when I leave there. I am sensitive to medicine and have experienced many side effects so this type of healing works best for me! I've also taken my granddaughter there and they have worked with her and helped her so much. We have noticed such a huge difference in her as far as being more grounded and happier. Thank you both for all you do and will continue to do as we come to you for help. Our little Town of Elwood is so lucky to have Cloud 9.
Since seeing Amber ( Cloudninerocks.com) and Janyelle once a week (recently changed to every other week), my son has been released from physical therapy and released from his orthopedic surgeon. He also struggles with shyness and some anxiety. The improvements he has been making and the strides he is taking is remarkable!
I first found out about Janyelle's gift for her mother Karen who was my mother's close friend. My first session with Janyele was 6 months after my mother passed away. I had a lot of guilt putting my mother in a home when I know longer could take of her. She told me things that she could have not known and let me know that I did the best I could and my mother know that as well. After talking to her it mad me feel so much better. 5 months ago I started having health issues and the doctor thought I had a gluten problem or Celiac disease and I did want to leave my house and was very depressed and it was also the 1 year anniversary of my mother's death. I called her because I was not getting better I change my diet and I was not eating gluten and nothing seemed to be working. She made feel like my self again and I realized I really did not grieve my mother's death and it was starting to hit me. She really help me and told me signs to look out for and that meant my mom was around me and I see these signs all the time. So when I am down and I see these signs it makes me feel better. All my tests came back fine and I don't have Celiac diseas or gluten issue. I believe she helped where a doctor couldn't and I will never be able to thank her enough. She's is a special person with a special gift. I you believe in that good things can happen they will.
I have been experiencing digestive problems for about five months that has really gotten me down.After trying other treatments, I called Janyelle and I feel she has me on a very positive track. This is after one call and her intuitive healing which is amazing.
I found out about Janyelle through my mother. She had been seeing Janyelle for life coaching and bought me a one hour session in order to have me see what Janyelle had to say. At the time I was in a difficult relationship and preparing to graduate college without a concrete plan from that point forward. As a skeptical person with no prior experience in anything supernatural and years of experience learning biological sciences; I doubted that I would get anything meaningful from the experience. During one hour over the phone, Janyelle was more specific than I expected. She told me that I would end my relationship because It was for the better, explained to me the reason for the state of my current familial relationships and that within a few months I would meet a man who would guide me in my search for my first job (obviously in much more detail than that). The relationship advice and family advice was spot on, and the skeptical side of me still felt that it could have come from educated guesses. The reason I am sitting here writing this testimonial is because of the third piece of insight. When Janyelle described the man who would help me, she told me his exact height and hair color along with an approximate guess as to when I would meet him. One hour ago while working I met this person and he was the exact height and hair color that Janyelle predicted three months ago. During my conversation with him it became clear that he was willing to help me out and he had experience finding a job similar to the one I'm looking for. I don't know what I concretely believe now, but I do know that talking to Janyelle helped me to see the resolution to the two problems I was encountering. I also now believe that there is more to life than straight forward scientific thought. I may never be able to explain how Janyelle knew what would happen, but she was specific, accurate and confident in what she told me which makes me feel confident that she is everything she claims to be.
In November I went to the Ear Nose and Throat specialist, he told me I had polyps on my vocal chords. They said it would take years for them to go away. I called Janyelle and after one Skype session (distant I live in Florida) and following her instructions I returned to the Dr. in January and the polyps were gone and the Dr. was amazed and he did not understand the healing. ·I informed him of your Energy Healing and he suggested to keep it up, it was working.
I truly believe that God works in mysterious and Awesome ways! He puts people in your life's path at just the perfect time. Janyelle came into my life at just that perfect time! I have always felt this powerful urge to want to better myself, fuel my passion, and grow my ambition with my career. I was at a place in my life where I knew I wanted to be, I just needed some assistance getting there.·Janyelle truly has a Gift from God! She reads energy and teaches you how to listen to your body and trust your own intuition. She helps release the unwanted feelings you harness and has a way of calming your spirit. The world today is known for rush, rush, making money, being active in functions, leagues, ect.. Today's world has a way of telling people how to live rather than teaching them to trust and listen to your own body and intuition. I can say I honestly feel like a different person today than I did several months ago. My biggest fear was "FEAR" itself, the unknowing. I was raised in and very active church while growing up. I still attend church, but have a much bigger understanding and believe I have truly felt the Holy Spirit. Trusting and Believing is my biggest lesson!! Trusting in yourself and the Lord above! I truly believe God gives each of us gifts; it is in how we use them to help strengthen others and help them along life's path. Janyelle is AMAZING!! You just HAVE to meet her!!
Janyelle is amazing in her being but also in her profession. Every time I get together with her she points out something that is, first of all, highly intuitive, and secondly important for growing my own business. There is something about her being that has me trust even more in my own skills and goals. Interestingly enough after every conversation with Janyelle, something "broke open" that has me receive what was already waiting for me – a new client, new ideas, confidence in making big decisions etc.
I highly recommend Janyelle as coach and practitioner.
Janyelle is amazing at what she does. When I first heard of her I was very skeptical but I went to check it out anyway. She has helped me in so many ways. She has helped me with my relationship with Laura and my daughter Aleya. She helped me have to courage to start my own business which has always been a dream of mine. She helped me cut back on my medications drastically. She has helped me quit smoking. She has helped me become a better me. She truly is like my own personal genie without a bottle. Whenever I am feeling down or need to talk about something I call or text and she's always there. She's a wonderful friend and I honestly do not know where I would be today without her.
Janyelle works miracles and I am the proof!
In October of 2006 I was driving home at 1am and I ran over a girl about my age that was lying down in the highway. Her and her boyfriend had been at a party and had gotten into an argument. They were fighting as they walked down the road. Some say he pushed her and others say she simply layed down on her own. Needless to say I didn't see her and I ran over her and so did the vehicle behind me. When I went back and got out of the car I saw her there, bloody and lifeless. She was dead and I had taken her life. I was so scared and shocked at what had happened and what I had seen that I didn't say anything to the police and I completely hid my involvement. I turned myself in 2 days later and in July of 2007 I was convicted of Leaving the Scene of an Accident Involving a Death a Class C felony and Obstruction of Justice a Class D felony. I was sentenced to 8 do 4 years in the Indiana Department of Correction. I served 3 years in prison and came home in June of 2010. I worked and took care of my family and payed my bills. I stayed out of trouble and was released from Parole early. To everyone I had come out of prison just fine and was doing great. My doctor was the only person that knew I was struggling. He diagnosed me with PTSD and put me on medication. I couldnt sleep through the night because I would have terrible nightmares. Nightmares so disturbing that I would wake up covered in sweat, out of breath, and confused as to where I was. I was in a constant state of depression because everytime I closed my eyes I saw the girl like I saw her that night. I felt as if she was haunting me. I blamed myself and could not accept forgiveness. Not even from God. I didnt think I deserved anything good and I thought of suicide often.
After seeing Janyelle for a completely different issue we found that everything led back to that night and what was going on inside of me because of it. She told me that she was going to have me come in and she was going to erase the memories that were holding me back. I didn't think such things were even possible let alone a miracle like that happening to me. I went in and after 45 minutes I came out a new person. I felt calm, light, and full of energy and hope. Still to this day I only think of that night when I choose to and when I do I CAN'T picture anything. I don't see the girl in the street anymore. I sleep just fine without nightmares. It's like I know it happened and I know the importance of that night but I also know that God has forgiven me and I had to forgive myself. I am worthy of his blessings and I can take something good from such a tragedy and use what I've been through to help others.
Janyelle saw the road I was on and where it was taking me. Had she not helped me the way she did I honestly don't know where I'd be today. I can't even say for sure that I would still be alive. I urge anyone that is struggling to go see her. Open your mind and your heart. You ARE worth it.
I wanted to thank you again for the reading on Tuesday. I must say our conversation lifted a huge weight off my chest. Honestly I was still skeptical but was left in a better mental/emotional state. That night sure enough I woke with leg cramps. I was surprised and thought of our reading earlier in the day. Then Wednesday Colin's teacher emailed me because he was assigned detention for being disruptive and disrespectful. I was begging to believe even more as you had said he might get in trouble at school. I admit I was surprised but not 100% convinced. Then this evening I had a surprise visit from my mother, and of course an argument ensued to which she told me I was "just like my father", that she loved me but she didn't think our relationship would ever work and after that I am a believer. I have to say I am really impressed. I hope more of your reading comes to fruition and will definitely be using your services again. I want to explore my past and my future.
First I just want to say you are absolutely amazing. You have changed my life. After speaking with you yesterday about my relationship with my husband I took your advise and talked to my husband last night. Not only has there been a complete change in him but more importantly there has been a complete change in me. After speaking with you I took a good look at myself and realized there are things I need to be doing differently. For the first time in a long time I feel like I love him again (not just the he's my husband so I love him kind of love) but the I really love this man kind of love. And I'm very excited about showing him. I know that I had lost that feeling and quit showing him or giving him attention because I was hurting and never got the closer I needed after arguments therefore I guess you could say I was just taking him for granted. I know I told you at the beginning of our conversation yesterday that I had never had a reading before and that I was very skeptical about this kind of thing however I must tell you after speaking with you I BELIEVE now. Before we spoke I was feeling like the life had been drained out of me and now I feel like a different person. I feel full of life and I feel like I want to be the best wife and mother that I can be. I am so excited about my relationship and my life now. I even miss my husband today and can't wait to see him when he gets home from work. I haven't felt that way in a long time. I have told some of my close friends about you and they plan on contacting you themselves.
Janyelle is a true blessing. She was spot on in her reading. Her details were a total shock. I have been to a lot psychics, in search for a legit one, and I have no doubt about her abilities. During the session I thought she may know more about me than myself! I promise, you will be blown away in the first 5 mins. To sum it up in 4 words: Life changing, life inspiring.
Janyelle Huff has such wonderful presence whether she is talking to you one on one or talking to a group of people with various backgrounds.
She has helped me both personally and professionally by showing me how to understand myself better. One thing that stands out is to listen to myself. I have a hard time with the listening skill anyway but I never thought about how important it is to listen when I need answers to my own questions. You learn a lot about yourself when you stop and listen.
Janyelle has been a speaker at both the WorkOne Customer Service Boot Camp and Career Networking work shops and everyone really enjoys it and always wants to hear more from her.
If you have an opportunity to work with Janyelle it will change your life.
My experience with Janyelle has to do with intuition, which I believe everyone has. It doesn't matter what you call it intuition, a gut feeling, or just one of those aha moments. Like when you think of someone you haven't seen in a long time and the next day they appear in your life. Another example would be when in a situation or setting you have a feeling something else is really going on only later to find out something was. Turns out it was something big and you wish you would have acted on it at the time to change the outcome.
In making decisions do you follow you're first thought or gut feeling. In most cases as we as humans question ourselves and run through all the different possibilities. How may times have you wished you had gone with your first thought.
I am someone who has always sensed, felt things but never talked about them or acted on it. Sometimes with great regret but we all live and learn. Janyelle is great at confirming those moments for you. Current or past feelings/memories even all the way back to your childhood. You have a memory that is something that means nothing to you or may have great meaning but your not quite sure if you remembered it correctly. For some reason the memory never leaves you.
A friend once told me she heard a sermon in church that really made her sit back and think. We ask God for all these things but are we really lessening for the answer, idea or how to handle the situation.
The feelings and thoughts that flash through us, do we pause and think? A thought or idea comes at you multiple times from different directions. Do we pause and think about it, consider it?
Janyelle helped me to start trusting my intuition, first thoughts, that gut feeling what ever you want to call it. In doing so you will build your inner strength, your confidents, and your ability to succeed.
Another thing I've learned and truly believe. If things didn't work out right the first time there is a reason. Either you/me weren't ready for it or we had a lesson to learn first.
I met Janyelle Jan 14, 2012. I scheduled an appt to be hynotized to stop smoking. That all went well, but what I want to give Janyelle praise for is her Intuitive Abilities. After Janyelle finished and I grabbed my coat to leave, Janyelle grabbed my shoulder, pointed her finger in my face and said "Your x wife got lost in herself", described my situation to a tee. Mentioned future events that would be happening in the next two months. I was floored. Remember I went over to stop smoking and she layed all kinds of things into my lap.
Over the next two months what she said and what has happened has been nothing short of amazing. I spoke with my pastor about it to get his input and thoughts. Pastor Justin said "God sends little messengers and looks as though he sent you Janyelle" Amen.
Janyelle is a caring, loving, and thoughtful human being. I have been so blessed to meet her. Since then I have scheduled all three of my children for appts. All good.
Hi Janyelle, It has been 53 hours and I feel great! I jogged again, me. I am so happy that I chose to see you again! I will tell everyone who mentions quiting smoking that I know a GREAT person for the job. I feel so good, I wish I could see you more often you are so positive, uplifting, fascinating, and spiritually gifted. Youo are truley Great!
Why Janyelle, through her career as a multi-faceted life coach, neuro linguistics trainer, and a myriad of other related specialties she helps women through her consultancy. Janyelle is an extremely connected professional woman business in central Indiana and would be an absolute great additional pillar to add to the foundation of building you.
It is never too soon or too late to become the happy and successful person that you are meant to be. If you are ready to become that person, I strongly recommend Janyelle Huff as an exceedingly knowledgeable guide and teacher.
Janyelle has an unusually gifted understanding of the human desire to be happy and healthy. She has acquired through study and experience, a vast knowledge of how mind and body can join together to bring about enhanced wellness, success, and contentment.
Janyelle distills her knowledge and training's to help you learn methods that are easy to practice, yet are very quickly and very noticeably effective. Janyelle's teaching techniques help you realize your full energy potential and personal power. You will learn techniques that enable you to choose thoughts and actions to create the life of your deepest desires.
You will learn to replace fear with action, doubt with confidence.
During my career experiences as a pharmacist, I observed that the patients who are the most successful in restoring themselves to their own maximum of good health are the ones most willing to learn how to help themselves. Janyelle makes available the tools for us to help ourselves today and tools to help ourselves in our futures.
Medical science is now beginning to fully recognize and document the power of the mind to heal the body. Practitioners and authors Jill Bolte-Taylor Ph.D, neuroscientist and author of My Stroke of Insight, and Herbert Benson, M.D., author of Timeless Healing: the Power of Biology and Belief are but two of the growing number of experts in the medical field that recognize the power of the human mind to not only align the body with wellness but to reprogram the mind itself for enhanced awareness.
Since my retirement from pharmacy I have studied restorative methods such as yoga, yoga therapy, mindful awareness and meditation. I can personally testify that time spent with Janyelle Huff is one of the best investments you can make in your current and future happiness and well being. I rate her as one of the top-most effective practitioners in her field.
You did a reading for me in November on romance. You said that the man I was with wasn't right and I would meet someone like me in February that was 6'4″, dark brown hair, business suit in tow … I met someone 6'4″, gray hair (used to be brown) that owns his own business. We fell for each other on the first date … thanks for making me open my eyes.
i thank the almighty for sending u ms.janyelle huff to my rescuse i am heal, oh janyelle god bless u alwaysI wanted to THANK you so much for yesterday!!!
I slept awesome & I woke up this morning feeling like a million dollars!
I started the gym today and feel not below or above myself but just completely balance, and my husband is so happy!
Thank you again for overcoming your challenges & becoming who you are because if it wasn't for your life I would not be where I am today!!!!
Thank you for your encouragement and "prophecy" for my future are greatly appreciated. I sense something powerful is coming, and as always I have discovered it is way beyond what I could comprehend. Please know that I am allowing myself to let whatever it is come forth and am trying (!) to be led instead of wanting to lead.
Since the beginning of my journey with Janyelle, I have built a stronger relationship with God , opened myself to my Spirit Guides, bonded more closely with my son, bridged gaps with relationships within my family and continue to work daily on…ME thus allowing myself the ability to grow, prosper, love, and be loved.
At this point, I feel as though I have superseded any expectations I've ever had in obtaining any of my hearts desires beyond my wildest dreams! I have chosen to take a path along my journey with a wonderful, loving, supportive man whom I adore greatly. Our journey has not been that of the ordinary kind. With much determination, we each have grown individually as well as together both spiritually as was well as in love. I have enjoyed a new found "comfort in his arms" that I've not previously known with this wonderful man. There are many aspirations for a beautiful journey along this path.
Without Janyelle's steadfastness with her unwavering support, encouragement, and constantly challenging me to be who I am meant to be, I am confident that I would still be the "LOST SOUL" I started out to be. You are a true "God Send" with many gifts waiting to be discovered! Thank you for being who you are and for all that you unselfishly give!!!
Wanted to update you on what is happening. I also wanted to let you know that I have sold my house in Selma, via by "for sale by owner" and am in the process of moving to the lakes this weekend. Also, you said that a couple (not married) would be coming to look at the house and it was a brother and sister wanting to purchase it for their mother and father. Thank you for your insight. It was a "wow" moment. Take care.
Everything Janyelle told me about what was going on with my dis-ease was right on. Janyelle asked me several key questions that opened more doors for my healing. If you are looking for true-results along with answers that bring you the correct results then Janyelle is the one you need to help you. She is easy to connect with and puts 200% of herself into your situation to make certain you understand what is going on and what is needed on your part to heal your journey.
I wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for my family! Everything you told me to do with my son helped him start walking within days! His spinal fluid is now on the right track, thank you so much! It still amazes me how intuitive you are!
Also thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me get my self-esteem back and keeping it! Everything I've asked of you, you have given me that and so much more. You are amazing at what you do!
Janyelle brings a unique and important gift to natural healing. She is able to access a person in a way I have never seen before. By using her gift, she is able to help people tap into their inner potential; and make tremendous gains both in their business/work life as well as their personal life. I would recommend Janyelle to anyone looking to better themselves or looking for alternative healing.
Thank you so much for helping me make the transition from retirement to my second career. Not only did you assist me in dealing with some of my thoughts and feelings concerning retirement life, but you gave me some insight and direction toward beginning the next chapter of my life. You reassured me, elevated my self-esteem, and gave me some specific methods for dealing with my inner self that helped me find the self-confidence I thought I had lost.
Your texts and your radio show inspired me to make a meditation audio. After I listened to it I "heard" an affirmation. I heard it again as I went for a walk. Today I made an audio of the affirmation with hypnotic music, isotonic beats and brainwave technology stuff.
I'm so excited to share such great news with you. I went to my 6 month Dr.'s check up this week and I've lost 40 pounds in 6 months. I couldn't have done it without you. Your downloads on emotional eating, motivation for exercise and activating my metabolism were the motivation I truly needed. I also did my first 5K walk, 3.1 miles, in 45 mins. What you are doing in life coaching has changed my life, the way I think, and my dress size. Thank you so…. much!
Hey! I just wanted to drop a note to let you know how AMAZING I am feeling! I feel human and have energy again. I walked 15+ miles in the last week and feel better and better every day!!! – Energy Healing at it best!
I also wanted to thank you for working with me on Friday. It was interesting, I grew more and more exhausted and nauseous as the day wore on . I think it was my body getting rid of some junk. I now can think of the event without anger and have noticed a lack of anger when thinking of the kid who bullied my son. I used to have a lot of hatred and angry feelings at the mention of that kid.
As I thought back over my life, the feeling of not being protected has been a pattern throughout. I even (subconsciously) chose to marry a man who has never made me feel protected. The single brief session with you uncovered this theme and led me to connect it to a lot of anger in my life, choices that I have made, and even the way I have parented.
You have to believe and feel good at the end of the day knowing that GOD or your higher power, has helped you to assist so many others in their walk in this life, and also with yours. I also hope that you have someone to talk to when you have those days?
My depression started with the passing of my mom in the fall of 2001. She was only 57 years old and died of lung cancer after spending 6 months in a nursing home due to complications from radiation she had the year before. She was in remission and had been re-diagnosed less than 12 hours before she passed away. I was 36 years old and she was the first person I'd ever lost. At that point I still had all 4 of my grandparents, my dad, husband and children. She was living in FL at that time and I was here in IN. We couldn't afford to bring her home and had to have her cremated. We did have a memorial service for her here in IN where most of her family and friends were, but that's not the same as a funeral, so I never really got to say good-bye. Her death finally hit me in January 2002 and it was downhill from there for quite a while. 2001 had been a horrible year to begin with and her death was the final straw. I had a friend from school that came back into my life a couple of weeks after she passed. I depended on them to help me get through each day and eventually became addicted to them. I tried traditional counseling in the fall of 2002. I didn't see much improvement and tried again a few years later with the same results. Although it does work for some, it wasn't for me. Depression doesn't last forever, but if you get the proper help early, you'll feel better much sooner. One thing I learned the hard way is that no matter how much you think the ones closest to you should know what you need, they don't unless they've gone through something similar with you in the past. I was very hurt that my husband had no idea what to do with me. For fear of doing the wrong thing, he chose to do nothing (which is exactly what I would have done had it been reversed, but didn't think about that at the time). In June of 2002 I knew I was going to lose my Grandma. I told him ahead of time what I needed and things went very smoothly. Two years later, I lost my other Grandma and he knew exactly what to do. Over the years time did heal some of the wounds, but I still wasn't where I'd been prior to 2001.
I started working with Janyelle last summer (2010) to try to find my purpose after leaving a dead end job a few months earlier. I'm still working on that, but feel as though I'm moving in the right direction. I learned how to think more positively and look toward the future instead of continuing to pull from the negative of my past. Due to excess stress over the last several years, my migraines (that I've had since Jr. High) had increased. I'd been going to a chiropractor for a few years which had helped quite a bit, but had reached a standstill. Janyelle used an energy technique on me last November (2010) to release a knot that I woke up with daily in my right shoulder that made me feel like both of my shoulders were in my ears they were so tight, which in turn caused headaches. To this day (March 2011) I have yet to wake up with that knot, which is absolutely awesome!
I've also suffered from IBS since the beginning of my 3rd pregnancy in 1992. She used a technique on me a couple of weeks ago that so far has worked. My migraines have been drastically reduced which is a wonderful thing!
Speaking as a Coach in the industry, I guarantee that in working with Janyelle you will be amazed at how easily you will be able to bring meaningful and exciting change into your life. Janyelle's excitement, confidence and understanding make it easy to confront those things that may have held you back so that you can look to an new and exciting future. In working with Janyelle and the techniques of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line Therapy™, I have increased my potential in ways I would never have dreamed possible, both personally and professionally. My business revenue will more than double this year and personally, my confidence has skyrocketed, I have more energy and drive and my relationships have never been better!
I am taking this opportunity to say a huge thank you for the help you gave me. The NLP technique you provided were enormously helpful. They allowed me to make changes during a very stressful time… I would have no hesitation at recommending your services to anyone else.
Janyelle made it very easy for me to give up something that I wanted to stop eating. She did it within 15 minutes. That was 15 minutes not weeks or months. She is a pleasure to work with and a very skilled NLP practitioner. By now you should want to make that change in your life and work with Janyelle now.
I was very impressed with Janyelle. I'm middle aged and had lost myself while concentrating on being a wife, mom, employee, etc. With the kids grown and now being a grandma, I was having trouble figuring out my purpose. After a couple of sessions, I'm now on a positive path of finding myself and my direction.
Using Janyelle's Weight Loss package along with individual coaching has taken me from 250 lbs. in September to 240 lbs. in October and I've been able to reduce my insulin and blood pressure medicine. My body is no longer in pain from stress or tensed muscles, since I released the negative emotions and broke the attachment of food and emotional eating.
Good Morning Janyelle: I am doing fine, I "think" I want a cigarette until I think about actually lighting one up. You, likewise, are a God send to me! It was too wonderful meeting you and listening to you. I talked with my niece last night, the one I was telling you about, and I told her that if you could come through your life, with ALL you've been through, being so positive and loving Jesus, I could at least have the strength to quit smoking! She agreed! She is thinking about, it, too. Thanks for you and all your kindness! God Bless you always, have a wonderful, safe holiday!
I used to suffer from migraines and a knot would form in my right shoulder, after 45 min of Quantum Touch it had never returned. Thank you Janyelle.
The stinging pain in my left arm is gone for good. I had the pain for about 3 weeks and tried varies ointments but nothing seemed to relieve the pain. After 30 min of energy healing with you, the pain is completely gone.
I would like to share this with anyone who may be listening to Janyelle tapes. I've lost 15 pounds in just three weeks. Even though my son was hospitalized, I could stay the course. Girl you have a great gift! Thanks for your help.
Your methods in the first couple of meetings helped me by releasing the thoughts that bothered me the most. I realized that life is to short to keep on dwelling on the past. The last few meetings helped me with my confidence and a better positive outlook on life.
I'm 18 years old and have had issues with my knees for several years. Our family doctor said it was due to growing too fast, another doctor gave me exercises to do. After one Quantum Touch session, I've not had any more trouble with it.
I started smoking when I was 15 years old. I had quit off and on throughout the years but it never stuck. I had quit when I was pregnant with both of my children and when I was breast feeding but always started back up again. Thanks to Janyelle, I have been able to quit and it was something I had wanted to do for a long time. Janyelle has continued to support me in my efforts to stay smoke free. As of January 3, 2013 I have been smoke free for a year. I would defiantly recommend if you want to quit smoking, go see Janyelle. She really helped me.
My son had been molested without any knowledge by people we considered friends. They were more than friends, they were like family. I had no idea that it had been going on. He had been having nightmares and would have trouble sleeping in his room but we didn't know why. He was close with his step-father but was having trouble staying attached. About a year after we had moved and these people were no longer in our lives, his nightmares intensified and he started talking in his sleep and walking in his sleep. I was terrified and wasn't sure what to do. It was during these nightmares that we found out that he had been molested and that they had threatened my life/safety if he ever told. My son was 4 years old when we found out. I wanted to get help for my son but didn't want to make it worse. With Janyelle's help, the nightmares have stopped and he is very close to his step-father. Janyelle said if we ever needed any more help or if the nightmares or anything else started occurring to let her know and she would be happy to help us with this very difficult and sensitive situation. Janyelle has been a blessing to our family and we are so happy to have found her.
After a session with Janyelle, I had a huge change in perspective with my career. I gained more confidence in myself as she helped me remove blocks that stopped me from achieving my highest potential. Janyelle helped me open up to new ideas and possibilities. She taught me ways to shift my thoughts to achieve the outcome I wanted. Ultimately, this led to greater success and fulfillment not only in my career, but in my life as well.
Janyelle has done more for me in 3 sessions than 10 years of therapy! She helped me find my voice inside years of fear and insecurity, helping me see what I am truly capable of and what is possible for the future!

Venezuelan FM urges UN Security Council to reject use of force

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza has accused the US of trying to intervene in the Latin American country militarily, urging the UN Security Council to reject any use of force against the country.
Addressing a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday, Arreaza said the US-led campaign to oust President Nicolas Maduro had failed.
"That was the last chapter in the coup on Saturday," he said. "Read my lips - it failed. Now is the time for us to return to sanity."
In the same meeting, Russia's Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia accused Washington of seeking to topple President Maduro through military intervention, adding that the US' policy toward Venezuela is tantamount to violating international law.
He supported Arreaza and questioned what other countries would have done if confronted with "an attempted illegal state border crossing for the delivery of unknown cargo."
Turning to the US, he pointedly noted, "One country even wants to build a huge wall on the border of another country to prevent an illegal border crossing."
PressTV-'Dangerous provocation': US arms Venezuela putschists
Russia warns the US against using "humanitarian aid" as a cover for arming Venezuela's opposition and launching military invasion against the country.
Trump surrounded by bad people
Maduro on Tuesday said US President Donald Trump is surrounded by "bad" officials who are advising him during the ongoing political and humanitarian crisis in the country.
"I fear the people that are around him," Maduro told ABC News in an exclusive interview.
"I think these people surrounding President Trump and advising him on Venezuelan policies are bad, and I think that at one point, President Trump will have to say 'stop, stop, we have to see what happens with Venezuela,' and change his politics."
The comments come a day after the Trump administration ramped up sanctions to pressure Maduro to leave office and allow Juan Guaidó, an opposition leader the US and other world powers recognize as Venezuela's interim president, to take power.
Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido, 35, who is also the head of Venezuela's defunct National Assembly, plunged the country into political chaos on January 23, when he proclaimed himself as the "interim president" of Venezuela, a bizarre move that drew US President Donald Trump's immediate support and prompted the White House to call on other countries to follow suit in recognizing Guaido as such.
PressTV-Venezuela urges world to condemn US interference
A senior Venezuelan official has urged the world to condemn the US' meddlesome policies.
The US-backed opposition figure has also planned to bring in foreign humanitarian aid, including those from the US through the Colombian border, to allegedly alleviate the country's economic crisis.
Maduro has said the real incentive behind Guaido's "relief" effort is to undermine his government in a Washington-orchestrated bid to oust him, stressing that Caracas would not allow the entry of the so-called aid to Venezuela, which has the world's largest proven oil reserves.


Perfect example of FOCUS (thinking about the outcome of desire) before taking action!
If you hang out with yourself a few minutes and ask yourself if I do this or do that, will I get the outcome I desire? A job is not going to be all that important if it has to come at the expense of your loved ones (family, in this case of the short film). Ask yourself if the time you take to go to an interview is going to be giving you the outcome of your desire? There were two ways in which this story could have ended much better, if only she would have assessed the desired outcome in her focus, instead of just doing what she thought was going to be just fine, without weighing the pros and cons of what could happen or the 'what ifs'. The other side controls many of our outcomes and that is why we get a lot of undesirable life experiences. Don't allow the other side to tell your story. Focus on yourself, your own inner desires and create through a well-thought out plan, prior to taking the action(s).


Parents (and grandparents) are the primary and most effective faith educators for their children. Studies have and are still showing this, and it makes perfect sense. During the years that a child is between the ages of two and six or seven years old, the EEG activity in their developing brains puts them in a more suggestible state, in the same way that hypnotism does for adults. All that they experience, and during this period, most of which comes from their parents and family, is "downloaded" directly to their subconscious memory. This means that 90% of the subconscious choices we make as adults are based on what happened to us during those precious years of childhood.
Lent is a perfect time to help our families guide their children in engaging in and learning about Christian practices such as prayer, being still, singing praise, reading Bible stories, serving others, and offering hospitality.
The children are what drove me to go to Tijuana this January. A call had been made by a group called the "New Sanctuary Caravan" for folks to come and volunteer at the border for any amount of time during a 40-day period, to meet the "caravan" from Honduras with love instead of fear.

Rod Jones' family: Football head trauma led to former Husky star's suicide
Family members of Rod Jones, a former Washington Huskies tight end and NFL player who died by suicide Saturday, said they believe head trauma from football led to the 54-year-old's downward spiral.
"People love the sport of football, but they don't realize the cost of the sport. I want to keep that conversation going," said Jamie Jones, his 24-year-old daughter. "My dad was struggling, and I want people to know that. He was hiding his depression."
RELATED: Former Seahawks' brains shed light on NFL head injuries
Jones played for the Huskies in the 1980s. His standout career included a 1985 Orange Bowl win. He later spent parts of three seasons in the NFL, where he played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks. Most recently, Jones had been working at the University of Washington as a popular academic coordinator — mentoring student athletes for the past 18 years.

"I would want people to remember my dad as a big loving teddy bear… He protected his boys, his students like they were — like they were us," his daughter said. " We loved seeing that. He was a friend before he was a counselor or a mentor to anyone here. He was your uncle, your dad, your cousin. He was family first, and then entered your life as your mentor."

Doctors declared him dead Saturday afternoon at Harborview Medical Center, where his family members, friends and former teammates surrounded him during his final hours. He is survived by his wife, Carla Jones; son, Rod Jr. Jones; daughters Krystal Roquemore and Jamie Jones; and granddaughter, Arielle Hatten.
"We always thought that he was going to be there forever until we had kids— until we got married. I thought he was going to walk me down the aisle and be an old man because that's what he wanted," Jamie Jones said. "But when the disease took over, it wasn't him anymore. That piece of him was gone."
Jamie Jones holds her father's hand at Harborview Medical Center on Dec. 9 in Seattle before doctors discontinued Rod Jones' life support.
Jones had recently been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, his daughter said, and he had a history of alcohol abuse. His wife and children said they believe he was suffering from symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease found in athletes, military veterans and others with a history of repetitive brain trauma. The symptoms include mood swings, memory loss, depression and aggression.
Currently, the disease can only be detected with a dissection of the brain after death so it's unknown if the former football star had the disease.
"There's no question that when you have CTE — when it progresses — it can completely change your personality," said Chris Nowinski, CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. "If you talk to wives of people with late-stage CTE, when it comes to impulsiveness, when it comes with aggression, when it comes with paranoia, some expressed that they were scared to live with their loved one. This isn't a dementia where you grow quietly into the night. This can be incredibly rough on families."
Jones' Brain Donated For Research
Rod Jones' family said they donated his brain to Boston University's CTE Center, where about 30 scientists are now analyzing hundreds of athletes' and veterans' brains to determine whether or not CTE is present and to better understand the disease.
"My reason for (speaking out) and my donation (of his brain) is because secrets don't get fixed. Dirty laundry doesn't get cleaned when it's hidden," said his wife and partner of 32 years, Carla Jones. "Donating his brain is going to help future athletes and future little leaguers. The only way it can be fixed is if we share him."
In addition to analyzing athletes' brains, CTE Center researchers spend months conducting interviews with surviving family members and reviewing medical records to better understand donors' symptoms and experiences while alive. The goal of the research, Nowinski said, is to find discoveries that would allow an early diagnosis of CTE — and possibly even treat it.
RELATED: Survey reveals former Seahawks live with pain, worries of brain damage
"Studying football players is important because football players have taken thousands of blows to the head. There is a correlation between number of years from playing football and CTE," said Nowinski, who co-founded of the CTE Center. "From my perspective,…we do need to radically change the game if we consider that it's destroying the brains of people who play."
Nowinski said it's likely that people who develop CTE have a higher risk of suicide due to the concussions they suffer but researchers don't yet know if the disease itself is increasing the risk of suicide.
A Different Person
Many of Jones' co-workers, friends and former teammates said they were shocked to learn of the struggles he carried behind his contagious smile. But his close family members say they watched Jones' personality become unrecognizable in the last few years.
"I saw a decline," Carla Jones, his wife, said. "He was changing and morphing into something that was so irrational. So scared. So loss of control. The last six months have been noticeably scary for me here at home."
Jones' family members say he became increasingly forgetful. His children, Jamie and Rod Jr. Jones, say their father had trouble remembering names, and he'd regularly misplace his wallet and keys.
Rod Jones plays with two of his three children in the 1990s.
"He was well aware of what was going on. He would say, 'Man, if I didn't have all these concussions, my memory would be there. He would just complain about concussions, concussions, concussions all the time," Jamie Jones said.
His daughter said her dad started to become easily agitated, and he'd have intense mood swings without warning.
"He would lash out on me and my brother and my mom randomly, and anything could trigger him," Jamie Jones said. "The next day, when we'd try to confront him about it, he would forget it even happened."

Carla Jones said her husband's depression continued to worsen. She said he quit driving to work almost two years ago because he would experience panic attacks in traffic.
"I want people to know that he was a gentle giant when he was himself. He loved everybody," his wife said. "He was hiding things from everybody until he couldn't hide it anymore."

Desperate For Help
Carla Jones said she and her husband sought out the help of doctors, including a Portland-based neurologist, for answers about Rod's symptoms.
She added that he joined an NFL concussion lawsuit, seeking damages for his head trauma during his football career.
"He said he got hit so many times (during football), that he didn't know who he was at times." she said. "He said he saw stars."
On Monday, Jamie Jones began cleaning out her father's University of Washington office.

As she packed up shelves of his football memorabilia, she found a book: The Tell-Tale Brain.
"It just struck me," she said. "He just wanted so badly to know what was happening with himself."
A book called "The Tell-Tale Brain" sits on Rod Jones' bookshelf inside his University of Washington office.
A memorial service is planned for this Saturday at the Don James Center at Husky Stadium.
"He loved so hard and was so passionate about what he did. Football is what he did," said his 24-year-old son, Rod Jr. Jones. "I just want people to remember what a great person he was."

The vehicle is due to be returned next month, and the finance team says she needs to pay the remaining balance of the car if it is not returned, approximately 14K USD. She is not able to obtain a loan at her credit union.
What are her options for repaying the car? If she cannot pay, what then? Is this a situation where bankruptcy might be considered (she does not have the means to repay this without getting a loan)?
Note: I believe her mother is a co-signer on this lease, so preventing as much blow-back to her as possible would be best.
‡: The insurance was being paid by an aunt who failed to inform my girlfriend that she was transferring responsibility of paying to my girlfriend. As far as my girlfriend knew, the car was insured.
Unfortunately this is going to land in her mother's lap. Since she is a cosigner on the lease she is just as responsible as your girlfriend for paying the return value. Both of them would have to declare bankruptcy to get the debt discharged.
If I were in her situation, and I could not get a loan for the remainder, I would work out a deal with my mother to pay off the lease and pay her back as quickly as possible. I would also get everything in writing to protect both of us - how much is owed, when the payments will be, consequences for late payments, etc. Just as if I were borrowing it from a bank.
You could try working something out with the financer, but with a cosigner that is presumable able to pay, I would be shocked if they settled for anything less than the full amount.
Don't lease vehicles. There are cases where leasing might make sense, but it is the most expensive way to finance a car, and is usually used to get more car that you can afford.
Don't let your insurance lapse. The point of insurance is to protect against catastrophic losses like this.
Don't put someone else in charge of paying your bills. If your girlfriend had been in control of the insurance up front, this whole thing might have been avoided. The fact that someone else is paying the insurance is another sign that she couldn't afford the car.
Again, I feel sorry for her being in this situation, but at this point the only good advice I can give is to help her avoid the same mistakes in the future.
If there is a cosigner, then bankruptcy on the part of your girlfriend won't be helpful: the mother will simply be fully responsible.
The first option here should be to talk to the dealership/lessor. It's entirely possible they will be willing to work with your girlfriend in order to avoid a default. Lenders don't want defaults, they don't want to sell off your account for $0.20 on the dollar or anything of that nature. So they're often willing to make a deal - either reducing the total amount owed, or allowing payments over time. But be up front about everything immediately. Be prepared to prove it was stolen (police report, etc.); and understand that the lack of insurance probably voids the lease. That's a sunk cost though; don't try to hide any of it, just be honest and forthright and ask nicely.
Second, your girlfriend could try to obtain a personal loan (unsecured) to pay for the difference. I don't know her credit, but if it's decent it's possible to get several thousand dollars at a non-usurious rate (10-15%). It's at least worth a shot. If her credit is in the "gets random credit card offers in the mail that don't have annual fees" range, she probably qualifies for something like this. But if she's going into a lease with a cosigner, perhaps she doesn't have any/good credit - but perhaps a few years later she does now?
Third, your girlfriend should talk to her mother. She should do this anyway; the first option will possibly have a negative impact on her credit as well. It's critical to make sure she's open with her mother as well: hiding this won't be possible, and not telling her about it and letting her find out from her credit report is a big mistake.
But if the first two options don't pan out, she would have to involve her mother in some way; assuming the mother can either pay it off or get a loan herself, anyway. A reasonable solution here might be for the mother to get the personal loan and have your girlfriend pay that personal loan, though I recommend in that case that she pay her mother rather than pay the lender (so her mother can pay the lender and ensure no missed payments).
Finally: don't get another car lease, unless and until you two are financially comfortable and independent. This was a mistake going in; buying something that requires you to have a cosigner means you're buying something over your means.
How about suing the car thieves for restitution? Civil cases can stick even where criminal ones do not. This is a direct result of the car being stolen. Make them pay, literally!
Your girlfriend needs to consult a lawyer.
Driving car with no insurance is against (almost?) every state's laws. Admitting that she did so to third parties (the dealer/lender) may not be wise.
The lease contract almost certainly specifies that the vehicle must be fully insured. Failing to live up to her end of the contract may have consequences.
She needs to consult an attorney for advice before she talks to anyone else about this. An consultation doesn't have to cost a lot of money, and might even be free, but whatever money it does cost is going to be worth it.
You might be able to negotiate the value of the car down. Based on age and mileage, but beyond that, she is going to have to pay off the car.

I don't think I could be more pleased with this outcome, the footage and the music go so well together!
The more I watch it I see little niggly things that I could improve upon such as the placement of the dripping tap with the fast running one as they could have blended better. I do really like the way the effect on the distortion of the tap affects the suspense which is gratified by what I have come to call the 'blood sink' I really like how this video looks like two days worth of anxiety. This repetitiveness is something which I experience as part of my anxiety as I remember things very well and I am aware of a lot going on around me, something that can exacerbate my nervous nature. The inclusion of the still images was for more plot in the video otherwise the piece seems too abstract and 'horror movie' with the music and somewhat random footage.
I used a jug of fizzing water with the suspenseful crescendo of the music to mimic the way I seem to myself, to others I am a nice transparent glass of water, but in my mind I am fizzing away create endless thoughts and countless new things to panic about. This can be allegorised to how many bubbles you can see form, you cannot count them, but they are plentiful. These bubbles also cloud the water, I am unclear and no longer transparent. My brain is fuzzy just like the jug of water became at the end.
The sink of water represents my fear of water, not just open water but also that of it's texture. I dislike the feeling of water or feeling it around my head as it causes an immediate fear response and I feel very uncomfortable. I wanted to show that while it may look like a nice clean sink of water to you, it looks like it is gruesome and horrible to me. Water is so commonplace that I have to face this fear daily and that is why it features in the video.
Other things in the video show a reluctance to leave my bed, sleep is one of the things that I do not panic about I simply feel nothing and I would be content to stay asleep for days. It is always a battle to get up, and of course this is another daily struggle.


The people of Mandi are informally called Mandyals & Mandeali language is generally used at local level for communication. Sepu Wadi is the official and main cuisine of Mandi which is served in Dham(Lunch) organised in local marriages, functions and parties.Himachal Darshan Photo Gallery is situated at about 4 km from Mandi near Sauli Khad on the Chandigarh-Manali National highway. This art gallery contains a beautiful collection of photographs of exotic locations of the entire state and reflects the social & cultural heritage of the people of Himachal Pradesh. District Library is located in Emerson House(District Court .Clothing in Mandi was Kurta-Pyjama for Boys and Sari-Suits for girls but with the Western Culture arriving to India, Mandi's youth have started wearing Western styles. However, there are still large numbers of people who wear the traditional clothing of Himachal Pradesh. Banthra is the main folk dance performed in theatrical shows in Mandi and is the official folk dance of the District.
Mandi is also famous for the International Mandi Shivaratri Fair, a fair held for seven days in the month of March every year. The celebration of Shivratri of Mandi is said to have started in the year 1526 to commemorate the foundation of present-day Mandi. Before this, the capital of Mandi was on the right bank of the river Beas, which is now known as Old Mandi (Purani Mandi). Mandi hosts a half marathon every year.
Once when the tenth guru of the Sikhs was on a visit to Mandi, the king of Mandi invited him to stay at the royal palace. The guru accepted the invitation to stay in Mandi but not with the king. He put up outside the town in a secluded place, which had once been the hermitage of a rishi (Indian sage). The guru was touched by the king's devotion and prophesized that Mandi would ever remain safe and if any enemy tries to harm it, bolts from heaven would crush the invader. He considered Mandi the safest place on the planet.

Film Review – Bright (2017)
January 16, 2018 · by Eddie	· in Eddie's Space, Film Reviews, Film reviews: Action, Film reviews: Fantasy.	·
Title: Bright (2017)
Director: David Ayer (Suicide Squad)
Cast: Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, Lucy Fry, Noomi Rapace, Edgar Ramirez
Plot: In a world where magical creatures live alongside humans, Los Angeles police officer Daryl Ward (Smith) and his Orc partner Nick Jakoby (Edgerton) find themselves in a dangerous battle to stop powerful magic from wrecking havoc on the city.
"This is like a nuclear weapon that grants wishes"
Netflix's biggest and most ambitious feature film yet, unlikely to be surpassed until Martin Scorsese's The Irishman is released in the near future, Bright is a high profile affair that has received its fair share of critical drubbings since its release in late December and while some of the harsh and unforgiving criticisms of the film are a little over the top, David Ayer's big budget follow-up to the increasingly lambasted Suicide Squad is very far from the film it could've been.
Set in an alternate reality where the world in which we live is shared with Orcs, Elves and various other mythical creatures, that years ago were defeated by humans and now live in peace with us, Bright has a loaded backstory and foundation that is instead largely ignored by Ayer so that he can instead focus on what he knows best; the gritty and grimy cop thriller that he honed as a screenwriter with Training Day and director of films like Street Kings and his best film, End of Watch.
You get a sense that screenwriter Max Landis's original vision for Bright was focused much more on the magical and mythical side of the story, that likely would've included more insight into this odd new world but while it's great Ayer is looking to overcome the disappointment of Suicide Squad with something once more suited to his particular brand of film-making, it makes Bright feel like a small portion of a much bigger pie we never get to see, let alone taste.
Instead of offering us a look at the world of Bright, we get quickly placed alongside Will Smith's street cop Daryl Ward and his partner in the form of Joel Edgerton's orc police officer Nick Jakoby as the mismatched duo find themselves protecting Lucy Fry's magical orientated Tikka who has found herself in a spot of bother with Noomi Rapace's big bad Leilah, who wants her wand back and to do the "Dark Lord's" bidding (yep they couldn't think of a better name than The Dark Lord).
Smith and Edgerton share an easy to enjoy on screen chemistry, even if neither role stretches the capable actors, bar Edgerton's seemingly cumbersome makeup and prosthetic's but with our focus on these two determined cops you cant help but escape the feeling that the film of Bright is only sharing with us a few brief snippets of what we could've been getting and while Ayer can do action, as Bright's story sinks further and further into generic action thriller tropes, the magic that we've been promised disappears into a dull and tiresome plot that feels more like a stepping stone into something more; something more we may get with the recently announced sequel.
Bright starts off in an intriguing enough fashion, giving us a glimpse of a unique world unlike any we've seen before but as Ayer's film sinks further and further into a seen a thousand times before cop thriller, Bright ends up showing only brief glimmers of the film it could've been had it focused on the strength's that make it stand out from the crowd.

Agreed. I really think this movie could have been special, though, with a different director.

Yeh agreed Ethan! It's a shame as there were brief moments here that showcased the film that might've been.

I was surprised it was a movie and not a series – I think that could have explored this world much better.

Yeh very valid point! It has a lot of potential just wasn't realised here sadly.

Mr O and I tried to watch this. I got bored and went to bed.
Oh yeh I can see why! The first 30 minutes or so started out fine but it really went downhill from there.

Didja know that St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner? Well. it is. So let's talk about Guinness. I'm not a huge fan of Guinness. While I love stout beer, I realized after completing my local bar's 250-beer beer club that I prefer to drink the stronger stouts.
However, I do love a good margarita. They are up there on my list of things to drink because tequila is my friend. At least it is most of the time. Right now we're on good terms but we have a love/hate relationship.
I was intrigued with the idea of combining Guinness with a margarita. Not only is it festive for St. Pat's, but it gives me another excuse to drink a margarita. I can't turn that down, now can I? This was pretty much the best decision of my week, and the week's not even over yet! I seriously was in love at first sip. I will take that second mason jar now please and thank you.
Oh, and I don't have any "in progress" photos of this recipe like I usually do. That is because of all the kitchen items that I don't own, one of them happens to be a pitcher. This led to me having to mix this all together in a bowl. All the bowl-shame is upon me! Anyhow, I figured I'd spare you all that pretty photograph. But I think it was all worth it in the end!

DIY Bookmark String: Beats a fidget spinner hands down.
I really enjoy reading but I often found that a traditional bookmark would easily fall out of place. I also decided I wanted something a bit more personal. So I created a bookmark string with beads and a charm on both ends. The beads and charm add weight to the bookmark and help it stay in place.
Also between you and me, it is much more interesting to swirl and fidget with than those silly fidget spinners.
1. Braid the 3 pieces of string together. See How to Braid.
2. Fold the string in half and cut. Measure 25 cm on both pieces of string and cut off any excess.
3. Apply a small dab of glue to the end and add the leather crimp by placing the string on top of the leather crimp, then folding over both sides into the centre. Crimping the string together. Repeat on the other end.
4. Measure x 1 20cm pieces of tiger tail. Fold the tiger tail in half and thread a wire guardian onto that end.
5. Add your charm, threading it over and into the centre of the wire guardian. Then add a crimp bead, and crimp the end, finishing with a dab of glue. Add a crimp cover over the top and close using pliers.
6. Begin threading your beaded combination. When you are happy with the arrangement and combination of your beads, thread on a crimp bead and the braided string.
7. Place the wire guardian onto one end of your wire.
8. Loop the wire guardian through the leather crimp loop. Then thread the remaining wire through the other side of the wire guardian. Cross the wires over, inside the crimp end loop.
9. Now for the tricky part, feed the wire back through the wire guardian on either side and then down into and out of the crimp bead. Pull tight.
10. Once the wire is pulled tight and firmly secured. Crimp the crimp bead. Cut off the excess wire.
11. Add a dab of glue and cover with a crimp cover.
12. Repeat steps 5 to 11 for the other side of the bookmark string.
There you have it my DIY Bookmark string. This is highly versatile and can be customised to suit your personal style.
