1 Report to Congress on Assistance by the People's Republic of China to Governments and Entities in Latin America and Africa Division J, Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, Section 7071(1) (3) of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L ) Introdnction The People's Republic of China's (PRC) engagement with countries in Africa and Latin America has grown significantly over the past decade through economic activities, including foreign assistance, investment, and trade. China's assistance projects in these regiolls have drawn the attention of international development experts, academics, and policy makers and have raised questions about the amount of foreign assistance China is providing to developing countries. Differing definitiolls of assistance, the lack of transparency, and the broad array of projects by Chinese companies, bowever, make it challenging to undertake a thorough assessment. This report examines the various types of activities conducted by PRC govermnent and corporate organizations in Africa and Latin America, discusses the challenges to conducting an assessment of China's assistance to these regions, and outlines U.S. government efforts to engage the PRC government on development issues and to encourage greater transparency regarding its foreign assistance activities. China has foreign assistance programs throughout the world. According to a 2007 report published by the PRC Ministry of Cormnerce (MOFCOM) on China's foreign assistance activities, the PRC in 2007 signed foreign assistance agreements with 102 countries worldwide, started 54 assistance projects, and completed 35 projects. The PRC also undertook 27 technical cooperatioll projects, delivered more than 150 batches of goods and equipment, and provided training to more than 10,000 officials and technicians from developing countries. MOFCOM will release its 2008 report later this year. The PRC provides several types of foreign assistance, including the following: Emergency disaster assistance, such as the provision of cash grants, emergency materials, and medical teams. Training, educatioll, and youth volunteer programs, including technical and managerial training to foreign students. Youth volunteers to teach Chinese langnage and culture in foreign countries. Financial assistance tied to specific projects, including grants, interest-free
2 -2- or below-market loans, and related technical assistance on large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. Entire construction projects for a recipient country, from financing to design and construction. The PRC may also provide materials and equipment to countries that have the capacity to complete the project on their own. Debt forgiveness as a form of foreign assistance. No Authoritative Statistics ou the PRe's Foreign Assistance Although the PRC clearly is engaged in providing foreign assistance to countries in Africa and Latin America, the exact amount of the assistance as well as the details about its specific programs remain unclear. The Chinese government does not release official data about its foreign assistance, and limited information about its foreign assistance activities is available via press releases and news reports. Information that is released is often difficult to interpret. For example, the PRC does not use the internationally accepted definition of "official development assistance" (ODA) as defined by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which most donors interpret as development grants, humanitarian assistance, social welfare programs, and food aid. China's MOFCOM, which operates foreign assistance programs overseas, also oversees trade and investment projects. Given the export-promotion nature of its work, MOFCOM includes many trade and investment provisions, in addition to foreign assistance, when negotiating bilateral foreign assistance agreements. As a result, it is difficult to determine precisely which portion of a foreign assistance agreement is truly foreign assistance and which portion is intended for trade and investment promotion. In addition, the PRC does not release the terms and conditions of below-market loans it gives as foreign assistance, making it difficult to interpret this major type of foreign assistance. The China Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank) is the only institution in the PRC that has the authority to issue below-market loans to overseas projects. The China EXIM Bank is devoted primarily to providing export credits to sellers and buyers to support the PRC's exports and has an explicit mission to promote trade between the PRC and other countries. According to the World Bank, the below-market loans issued by China's EXIM Bank from 2001 to 2007 carried an average grant element of approximately 36 percent, but the grant element of these loans varied from just 10 percent to as much as 70 percent (the grant element is the portion of the below-market loan that can be viewed as foreign assistance). While these below-market loans offer better terms than those offered by private banks, they are not as attractive as ODA, which typically carries a grant
3 element of approximately 66 percent. -3- Finally, given the lack of transparency regarding China's foreign assistance activities, it is difficult to determine precisely how, when, and where specific foreign assistance programs were delivered. For these reasons, it is difficult to assess the actual impact of the PRC's foreign assistance on Africa and Latin America. Estimates of the PRe's Foreign Assistance Although there is no authoritative source providing detailed statistics of the PRC's foreign assistance programs, a number of international development experts and academics nevertheless have provided estimates on the amount of China's assistance to developing countries. These experts' estimates vary widely, from as low as $970 million in 2005 to as high as $25 billion in Given the lack of figures from MOFCOM and the use of different definitions of what constitutes foreign assistance, it is difficult to report accurate numbers on the PRC's assistance to Africa and Latin America. Assistance to Africa Africa has been a major focus of the PRC's foreign assistance activities. President Hu Jintao announced at the Beijing Summit on China-Africa Cooperatiort in 2006 that China would double its foreign assistance to Africa by President Hu traveled in February 2009 to Mali, Senegal, Tanzania, and Mauritius. In January 2009 Minister of Commerce Chen Deming visited Kenya, Angola, and Zambia, and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi traveled to Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, and Malawi. On all of these trips, Chinese leaders highlighted PRC assistance to Africa. According to MOFCOM, in 2007 the PRC signed in Africa bilateral foreign assistance agreements with 47 countries, signed below-market loan agreements with 19 countries, and signed debt cancellation protocols with 32 countries. It also completed 14 agricultural technology demonstration centers, dispatched 37 agricultural experts, and supported malaria prevention and treatment centers in Africa. In 2008, China continued its foreign assistance activities in Africa, including a large $9 billion infrastmcture and resource deal in the Congo. The following is a partial Jisting of the PRC's 2008 foreign assistance activities using the broadest definition of assistance that includes loans and government-sponsored investments, based on news reports or academic studies:
4 -4- Angola: PRC government-sponsored investment in housing and related infrastructure. Congo: below-market loan for an optical cable network and PRC government-sponsored investment and below-market loan in the mining sector. Ethiopia: grant for the construction of the African Union Hall, donation of vehicles and office equipment, and PRC government-sponsored investment in an industrial park development. Gabon: below-market loan for a hydroelectric dam project. Kenya: below-market loan for a road construction project. Liberia: donation of hospital and medical supplies. Madagascar: donation ofhurnanitarian assistance and medical aid team. Niger: PRC government-spoosored investment in a refinery. Nigeria: PRC government-sponsored investment in road and power plant constructioo. Rwanda: grant to fimd a hospital. Sierra Leone: below-market loan for a telecommunications network project. Sudan: humanitarian grant for de-mining training, mine sweeping equipment, housing shelters, and health equipment. Uganda: grant to establish health centers and donation of an office complex. Zambia: PRC government-sponsored investment in a power statioo project and dooation of a sports stadium. Assistance to Latin America The Chinese government signaled the growing importance of Latin America in its foreign policy with the publication of a policy paper on Latin America and the Caribbean Region in November 2008, in which it highlighted the goal of increasing economic cooperation with colultries in the region on investment, infrastructure construction, resources and energy, and debt reduction and cancellation. One indication of the importance of Latin America was the number of high-level visits to the region, including a visit by President Hu Jintao in November 2008 and the simultaneous visits of Vice President Xi Jinping and Vice Premier Hui Liangyu in February China's relations with countries in Latin America are largely economic in nature. Bilateral trade grew ten-fold between 2000 and 2007, reaching $142 billion in Chinese companies import large quantities of raw materials from Latin America and export manufactured and consumer goods. The PRC is now Latin America's second-largest trading partner,
5 -5- though it still lags far behind the United States, whose bilateral trade with the region stood at $664 billion in Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela are the PRC's largest trading partners in the region. China has free trade agreements with Chile and Peru and is negotiating another with Costa Rica. In October 2008 the PRC joined the Inter-American Development Bank as a donor member with a contribution of $350 million. The following is a partial listing of the types of China's 2008 foreign assistance projects in Latin America, based on news reports or academic studies: Brazil: PRC government-sponsored loan to fund a power plant and a belowmarket loan for oil exploration. Chile: below-market loan/joint credit lines to fund ports, shipping, and mining investments. Costa Rica: grant/donation to fund a stadium and oil refinery. Cuba: below-market loan for hurricane relief and for hospital repairs. Grenada: below-market loan to build a tourist manna. Venezuela: below-market loan to fund infrastructure, electricity, health, and education investments. Bahamas: below-market loan for a new airport highway and grants for development projects. Costa Rica: donation of 200 police patrol cars to the Costa Rican Ministry of Public Security. u.s. Engagement with China on Foreign Assistance The United States continues to encourage China to coordinate its foreign assistance activities with other donor countries to prevent duplication and increase transparency. Over the past few years, the United States has tried to engage the PRC - bilaterally through State, Treasury, and USAID channels and multilaterally in the Pans Club and G-8 Heiligendamm Process - to discuss debt sustainability and development assistance best practices. The United States also continues to encourage the PRC to support the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative as a multilateral forum for increasing transparency in the mining sector. Most recently, Secretary Clinton discussed U.S,-PRC development assistance cooperation at the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue held in Washington in late July 2009, during which she encouraged the PRC to work with the United States to find tangible ways to work togetber on foreign assistance.
6 -6- The PRC is a signatory to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, which encourages donor countries to adopt internationally accepted donor practices that support transparency, good governance, and sustainable development, but Beijing has not participated extensively in donor community discussions. The PRC recently has engaged in discussions with Britain's Department for International Development and is planning to send its officials on temporary duty to the OECD to learn about accepted international definitions of ODA.

For a long time, the cure for diabetes type 1 and type 2 has relied on agonizing insulin shots for patients or insulin infusion via mechanical pumps. Regarding this, experts have been creating artificial pancreatic beta cells with the he…
Nylon resin, also known as polyamide resin, is a type of engineering thermoplastic synthesized from adiponitrile, hexamethylene diamine, adipic acid etc. They can be melting processed into fibres, films or shapes. For the purpose of producing a variety of products for industrial use, such as automotive-engine covers/housings, cable insulation and jacketing, electrical & electronic plastics, electrical encapsulation materials, electrical insulation polymers etc.
Scope of the Report:
This report focuses on the Nylon Resins in global market, especially in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa. This report categorizes the market based on manufacturers, regions, type and application.
There are many types of nylons commercially available. The versatility of nylon makes it one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics. Commercial nylons include nylon 6, nylon 4/6, nylon 6/6, nylon 6/10, nylon 6/12, nylon 11 and nylon 12. In the U.S., the majority of resin produced is nylon 66, which is most often used in the production of extruded and molded parts. Some Western European countries, and most notably Japan, lead in the world's production of nylon 6, which is primarily used to make fibers and filaments.
Nylon resins mainly application in automotive-engine covers/housings, cable insulation and jacketing, electrical & electronic plastics, electrical encapsulation materials, electrical insulation polymers etc. Wide range of downstream applications, the demand increases year by year
Nylon resins product demand market there is also a certain space, but basically showing the scarcity of high-end products, low-end products, excess capacity, there is a large market demand for high-end products to seize market share of imports acts, local enterprises export more low-end products overcapacity or molding process basic Materials.
Despite the presence of competition problems, due to the global recovery trend is clear, investors are still optimistic about this area; the future will still have more new investment enter the field.
Along with the development of Chinese domestic Industrial Naphthalene, Chinese domestic nylon resins have been very mature and advanced, and the performance distance has been shortening compared with the imported nylon resins.
As large demand of high-end products at home and abroad, many companies began to enter the field of high-end. Currently, the Chinese nylon resins industry is not only begin to transit to high-end nylon resins products, while still extend in the resource-rich land and downstream industry chain.
Although sales of nylon resins brought a lot of opportunities, the study group recommends the new entrants just having money but without technical advantage and downstream support do not to enter into the nylon resins field.
The worldwide market for Nylon Resins is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly -1.2% over the next five years, will reach 19000 million US$ in 2023, from 20500 million US$ in 2017, according to a new GIR (Global Info Research) study.

Hey guys!
I have a confession to make. It's a secret I've guarded close to my heart, but I'm ready to fess up. Ready?
Whew, okay. Now that that's out, I need to share another cool thing about living in Japan. You can get decent quality costume jewelry for pretty freaking cheap. How cheap? I'm talking ¥300 cheap ($3.00 US)!
With this week's Little Loves series , I bring you 5 pieces I wear on a regular basis. Best thing? Each one of them was purchased for ¥300! (Y'all, I love saving money. Like serious business 😀)
Go-to pearl globes. They literally match everything.
Dangle-y faux pearl necklace. (plus cable knit sweater = adorbs)
Large faux pearl necklace. It makes me feel like Wilma Flintstone, lol.
Flowery earrings. They're big, clunky and perfect!
Okay, you get that I have a thing for
faux pearls, right? 😆
The thing about costume jewelry is (obvs) that it's not real. This means there will be a little maintenance involved if you want to wear the piece more than once! That's okay though, because again- ¥300.
I use this acrylic spray to keep both me and the jewelry from turning green. You can also use clear nail polish if it's something like a tiny post earring, or just small metal detailing. Simple. It works, but be careful about using too much because it will LOOK coated in clear paint. (LOL)
Where to buy
I almost always buy things at Lattice. If you live in Nagoya, there is one in Meitetsu Station's underground and one in Sakae right off of Crystal Square (again in the underground). The company that owns this store has a collection of ¥300 shops and they all sell some pretty cute stuff!
Like these cozy, fluffy cat socks and these ribbon clips. 🎀✨
Do you wear costume jewelry? Have you tried acrylic spray or clear nail polish? Tell me what you thought! Share, share!

And here are a few more of my favourite things.
In honour of her first snow day I dressed Ellabeth in this super, super cute snow(girl?) shirt from our sweet friend Carolyn. Can you see her little toofies? Now that she has 2 on bottom and one on top she likes to grind them. *Shudder* (very unfavourite thing).
Another favourite thing. Big and Little. We finally have some snow but up until now it has been rain, rain and more rain. The other day Finny's chore was to clean the living room and I loved how he set up the girls' rain boots. Ella, Gracie and Me. Little, Medium, Big. Love it.
Every night in December we have hot chocolate, I always get a little something extra (as do my thighs). That's the perk of sleeping with the hot chocolate maker
As we drink hot chocolate we read a Christmas story (I wrap them up and each kid gets a turn to unwrap them. Most of them are from the library but we are trying to buy a new one every year for our own collection. Maybe by the time I have several grandkids I won't have to go to the library anymore).
We also have a little Christmas themed devotional every night. Scripture, carol,etc. This year I put together the Christ book for our devotionals. I found it on my beloved Pinterest (thanks Peggy for sharing). Some more of my favourite things: cozy evenings watching my kids read to each other, and singing carols together.
Another of my favourite things: is there anything cuter than a baby in a white sleeper? My husband has always been a total sucker for our babies dressed in white sleepers. Some of my favourite mental images are watching him rock our white sleepered babies in the middle of the night(I buy lots of white sleepers ). In South Africa we call sleepers "Babygros".I think that is a more endearing name for them. Love my babies in their white babygros.
Another of my favourite December traditions. Every night someone pulls a note (and chocolate) from our Advent calendar. Here's a note to daddy from Gracie:
He does indeed buy mommy flowers. See? He's my most favourite thing.
Another favourite thing: my sweet puppy. Illegally napping on the couch. I have almost the exact same photo of her a few years ago.
Some other posts regarding our many Christmas traditions: Here, here, here, here here and (whew!) here
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..
And here are a few more of my favourite things.

2. Tons of Tears
The infected eye will produce more tears. While your friends may think your sad… in reality… they should not likely seek to comfort you with closeness, but should take for the hills, and help you from a distance as to not contract Pink Eye themselves!
This symptom is, again very common with all types of Pink (or red) eye. This is likely a reaction of the eye, trying to flush out whatever is agitating it.
Viral Pink Eye is especially noted as having this as a symptom. Again, this is good to know, considering Viral Pink Eye is the most treacherous of them all, due to its lack of medical treatment options and high contagiousness.

I've been in Bangkok for 3 months and a half already and there are some
important malls I still have to visit.* Malls are a big deal here in Asia, I've come to realise. I feel like they are in abundance and varied: from random little stores (that, incidentally, sell really cute dresses and accessories) to brand names; you name it, they've got it!
And I won't even get started with the food stalls. Mmmmm.
And I won't even get started with the food stalls. Mmmmm.
Today I went to a rather well known (and relatively new) mall called Terminal 21.
It's cray-cray (not really, but I like to over use that word)**, but the concept of it is pretty cool.
Each floor of the mall is furbished according to different places around the world, such as London, Rome, Istanbul, Tokyo, etc...
I feel a little foolish for not having been prepared (psh, and I call myself a photographer?***) but I plan to go there with a proper camera soon. So, sorry about the crappy photo quality.
Without further ado, here are a couple o' snaps of me in
inaction! POW!
A glimpse of the 36m long escalator.
With my mother in San Francisco.
I left my heart there and never wore flowers in my hair...
There are cute little model cars on the bridge, FYI.
At Sea World? Or is that in San Diego?
Helpin' build the bridge.
Helpin' build the bridge.
I'mma goin' to Hollywood!
This is a more elongated Oscar...
Alright Mr.DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
Ah, Pareee. If only...
Vacanze Romane.
Next time I'm totally doin' the famous Audrey photo re-enactment.
Fuck it- outfit and all. (Though don't quote me on that...)
Istanbul. Another dream destination. One day...
I uploaded some photos on Instagram, you can find me as marianabigail too.
Oh! I ended up buying just one item. A cute (in my opinion) elephant
I promise the pictures will be different next time too. Better quality AND different.
Next mall on the list: MBK
Where do you stand with malls?
I personally like streets with shops...
* And not just malls- other Thai landmarks on my to-do list too, more importantly. Time is whizzing by! Not counting this month, I've got 3 more months left- eek.
** I also like to over use parentheses and hyphens, if you haven't already noticed.
*** Not really. I just go by my name. But having a Flickr photostream, I feel it gives me some sort of cyber street-cred. (Oooh, shameless self promoting right there.)

The Chapter is connected to the countywide Health Action effort that focuses on three impact areas: a long and healthy life, educational attainment, and a comfortable standard of living. Recently, Health Action has reaffirmed its priorities. The Gravenstein Health Action Chapter is seeking community input to determine which priorities we take on locally and what strategies we employ to affect change.
Health is much more than absence of disease! A healthy community addresses social, environmental and economic issues that impact health, safety and well-being. For example:
- food security
- access to clean air and water
- a crime-free neighborhood
- access to education
- access to wages that allow us to live in Sonoma County
- affordable housing
- access to medical care
Thank you,

We are now in the middle of summer vacation. What has your teenager been doing?
- Sleeping until noon?
- On Facebook, the computer or video games all day?
- Hanging with friends?
- On the phone or text messaging?
- Watching movies?
Summer is an opportune time for your teenager to learn or reinforce some great habits…
1. The value of goal setting and follow through – Have your teenager chose a goal or project to complete each day, a focus for each week and a theme for the summer. Help them to write realistic goals and then follow through to be sure your teenager completes the goal.
2. The meaning of service – Summer is the perfect time to volunteer. If you are not sure where to look, here are some places that are always looking for volunteers:
- A hospital
- A retirement home
- A homeless shelter
- Summer activities and programs sponsored by your city
- Your church
- The HumaneSociety
3. The reason everyone needs a mentor – Everyone needs a mentor or role model. This is especially true for teenagers. Help your teenager find a mentor and help your teen become a mentor to someone younger or less fortunate.
4. The importance of showing up on time – If your teenager is 16 or older, summer is the time to get a part-time job. Having a job gives your teen the opportunity to learn about budgeting, showing up on time, being part of a team and responsibility.
5. The worth of becoming a life-long learner – Is your teen active in a sport, play a musical instrument, dance, sing, write or is he excited about a hobby? Summer is a great time to improve those skills and take a class, workshop or seminar.
6. The significance of being a responsible – Learning to care for something or someone is an outstanding way for teens to learn responsibility; anything from keeping their room clean, to feeding the family pet, to helping with younger siblings.
7. The power of financial literacy – To learn the power of financial literacy, be sure your teen knows the importance of budgeting and managing money.

Are they holding their own population wise Mark?
I used to see them everytime I walked around the airfield here, but haven't for a few years now.
Very nice captures Mark, I think the second one is fantastic. This bird does have a bit of a menacing look to it.
Great Pics, good job
And from the rest of the world...
Funky loking critter.
Visited NZ early in the year and was captivated by them. Such an unusual colour, technically difficult to capture due to the colouring, and I experienced them coming our dawn and dusk, making the lighting more difficult. Still, due to their being so common, eventually I had success. Locals must think visitors are nuts spending so much time trying to photograph them (my daughter did).
Beautiful country, want to spend more time there. Waiting for my daughter to have a wee'un so I have an excuse to babysit.

INCUBUS SUCCUBUS - beltaine 7'
Before forming Incubus Succubus, Tony McKormack (guitar) was in the horror punk band Screaming Dead from 1980 to 1985. McKormack, Candia Ridley (vocals) and Adam Henderson (bass) then formed a band called Belas Knapp, which they shortly changed to Incubus Succubus. From the outset the band had a very strong neo-pagan orientation. The first single, "Beltaine", and a matching EP, were recorded in 1989, as was the original version of the first album, "Belladonna And Aconite".[2] The line-up listed on the sleeve of the 7" Beltaine single is: Candia - Vocals, Tony McKormack - Guitars/Vocals, Adam Henderson - Bass, Jamie Gardner - Keyboards, Bob Gardener - Drums. However when the first pressing of the EP came back warped, several members left the band.........

Samsung hasn't just been busy dealing with the aftermath of the Galaxy Note 7 or the upcoming Galaxy S8.
A new patent has been revealed that shows plans for a future, rather bendy phone.
Super flexibility
What has been revealed in the patent, is that Samsung has been working on a phone that can bend right in half. The patent looks pretty interesting and showcases a phone that doesn't just bend but curves.
A flexible screen isn't new for Samsung and this could be pretty exciting - to have a phone that you can bend without breaking (hello, Apple) and still be functional. Samsung has also patented design concepts for phones that you could roll up into a scroll.
Now the only issue here is how a battery would fit into these plans for a bendable phone. With all the overheating issues, besides asking how much the phone can take, it's also worth asking if safety issues will also be taken into account. As bendable batteries sound like a disaster, that will be a technological issue Samsung has hopefully taken into account.
It's unlikely the Galaxy S8 will be the bendable phone patented, and though rumours are a bendy phone will appear next year we're betting Samsung will be going a little more back to the basics with the next flagship.

It's been a busy couple of weeks since we came home from our west coast trip but I did manage to join the South Island Sea Kayak Association (SISKA) Energizer Paddle to James Island on August 2nd. Robyn was away for the long weekend so I offered to help paddle leader Gary Jacek who in turn allowed me to share the pace setter / sweep duties with Shannon Davis.
Our group of 15 paddlers met at Island View Beach for the 10:00 am departure and while we were getting our kayaks and gear ready, a WWII B-25 bomber flew past us on a sightseeing flight. The B-25 named 'Maid In The Shade' was visiting Victoria as part of the Commemorative Air Force tour offering close viewing and flights in this classic 70 year old bomber.

|What a beautiful morning. James Island in the distance and the WWII B-25 bomber 'Made In The Shade' on a fly past.
|Paddle Leader Gary Jacek
|Gary reviews the paddle plan with the participants. "Let's see ..... great weather, CHECK"
As the pace setter for the first part of the paddle I lead the group across Cordova Channel at a fairly quick energizer pace of 3.7 kts until we reached James Island. Just because it is called an "Energizer Paddle" it doesn't mean that the whole paddle should be done at a fast pace. SISKA's definition for an energizer paddle is for those that include open water crossings but after those segments have been completed then remainder of the paddle can be done at a more relaxed pace allowing the paddlers to explore the scenery.
James Island is privately owned by cell phone pioneer Craig McCaw and includes a 18 hole golf course, air strip, sea plane base and a small private marina. Although the island is privately owned and there are numerous signs posted indicating that there is no trespassing above the high water line, it is a great place to stop on one of it's many sandy beaches for lunch.

After lunch I assumed the role of sweep following the group to ensure that all participants were accounted for. In the case of separation of paddlers from the main group I would radio ahead to the pace setter (Shannon) to advise the group to stop allowing us to catch up. Our group was pretty good at keeping together which allowed me to explore a bit as well.
|14 paddlers ahead of me ... all accounted for as we round the spit of James Island and head to our put in at Island View.
|Heermann's Gulls (grey) with their distinctive orange beaks gather on the spit with other gulls
We paddled back across Cordova Channel to Cordova Spit and followed the shoreline back to Island View Beach allowing the ebb current to pull us along. It was a great day for circumnavigating James Island and one of Robyn and my favorites to do in the early evenings too!

Hi I'm Levana Jessop
SoCali-Island Girl:) Blessed with the opportunity to be on a mission. I LOVE life and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I have given up only 18 months of my life to serve the Lord and our brothers and sisters in the GREAT California Long Beach Mission. I love to learn and experience new things and talk to all sorts of new people. I LOVE life and I LOVE to laugh. I have been blessed with the ability to find the good in just about any situation. And, am always smiling or laughing. Smiles are contagious, make sure you always wear one :) I am the youngest of 3 and belong to a wonderful, amazing and supportive family. I love Polynesian dancing, or dancing in general, the beautiful sunshine, baking and taking pictures. I like talking to all sorts of people and learning about different cultures. Swimming is great too and playing sports. :) I do hair and make up and I like helping others feel good about themselves. I grew up in California, (funny huh) and live in American Samoa. I LOVE my culture and I am so glad to have spent time there with my family and formed relationships I will have for a lifetime. I am grateful for the things I experienced there because without them, I would not be here today. My family has helped me prepare to serve a mission in more ways than they will ever know. I love being an aunty to the cutest and sweetest kids ever. Their testimonies in Jesus Christ has strengthened my own testimony and given me the courage to do what I do each day, share the Gospel!
Why I am a Mormon
I have never known a greater love than God's love for me. I know that and I have felt confirmation from the Spirit that this is the only true church here on the earth at this time. The same church that Christ established during his mortal ministry is the same one we are apart of. That the Gospel of Jesus Christ was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon was translated through him by the power of the Lord. We have a living prophet there on the earth to lead us, guide us and direct us. Heavenly Father would not leave us without, we are the other sheep of his fold that is why we have the Book of Mormon, Another Testsment of Jesus Christ. I love the gospel and the true happiness I feel inside my heart when I am able to share it with others and bear testimony.
How I live my faith
I truly believe that without faith there is nothing. One must have faith in all aspects of life in order to know where we came from, why we are here and where we are going. I have faith in our Heavenly Father knowing that he sent us his only Begotten Son to atone for our sins and make it possible to return to Heaven with him and Our Father again. It is a blessing for me to know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have enough faith in me to be a missioanry and share the Gospel with others. I live my faith by being an example of righteousness. We all mistakes in life and knew that we would when we chose to come to earth. Each trial and hardship we experience is for our good weather we see it at the time or after it is to learn, progress and grow. That is why we have the Atonement so we can be cleansed from our sins and return to Heavenly Father. I know that without the Atonement I would not be where I am today, so I do my best each day to live that faith Christ has in me and show it to others.

Lots of really good music came out that week! Infinite, BAP, B2ST, and SHINee, to name a few. Also, BTS and Odd Eye came back. A few groups put out a Japanese release and there were also a few awesome rock songs! I didn't come across anything that was bad this week.

Infinite – Destiny↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
Infinite's one of those groups that I never got into knowing any of the members, but I like almost all their songs. Though this doesn't surpass my favorites by them, it's still a good song! MV isn't anything too special. Version B? Is there another version? I only saw the "Making of" version on their channel.
BTS – We Are Bulletproof Pt 2↓↓↓
Category: Kpop/Hip Hop
Not bad, but I don't really like the flow between their parts. The background beat is awesome though. Maybe it'll grow on me? It just doesn't seem that solid in my opinion.
Goni – Single↓↓↓
Category: Hip Hop
Catchy and I love this style. I'm not single though, so I can't sing along haha ;o; I feel this is definitely a good anthem for people who are recently single, though.
TOXIC – Count Down↓↓↓
Category: Rock
omg, that guitar… That girl, Park Si Hyun, is really hot too, (not to mention the guys themselves)! I'm enjoying the vocal style here too.
Haje – 무더위↓↓↓
Category: Indie Rock
Amusing MV, haha! Makes me think of summer boredom.
BAP – Hurricane↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
Not bad. But why doesn't it seem like their style…? Well, besides the whistle and Bang Yong Guk… lol
It almost… almost… has a SM Ent sound to it, in my opinion. I don't dislike it, but I prefer some of their other songs a lot more.
LEDApple – Gimme Kimi Love↓↓↓
Category: Japanese
This is a really fun song! I like what Hanbyul does to his voice in this song.
Kim Ji Soo – Sleep 5 More Minutes↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
Such a lovely voice!
CNBlue – Lady↓↓↓
Category: Japanese
Kind of groovy.
Kim Hyun Joong – Unbreakable ft Jay Park↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
Jeeze, epic and full of swag! Haha, I like the imagery in the MV, (I'm a fan of fusion like this).
Henry and Seohyu – Trap (Violin/Piano version) http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/07/henry-and-seohyun-show-their-musical-prowess-with-a-piano-violin-version-of-trap↓↓↓
Category: Acoustic
Short, but lovely! Check it out… it's worth it.
Kara – Thank You Summer Love↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
There's a separate version for each member… so to save time, I'll post this compilation of all of them for you and you can find the one you like best to watch yourself lol. It's a really cutesy song.
Odd Eye – Follow Me↓↓↓
Category: String Pop
Somewhat dreamy or relaxing. I hope I'll like this group more and more, haha.
B2ST – Shadow↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
I love the dark theme of the MV!
Miss $ – You Were Not The…↓↓↓
Category: Hip Hop?
Nice song. The MV is fairly creative, though we've seen that concept of making various things carry the lyrics of the song before. I can't remember exactly where… maybe it was one of Kim Ye Rim's videos? No, it was a guy singing, I think it was an indie group. I'll have to get back to this later, haha.
SHINee – Boys Meet U↓↓↓
Category: Japanese
Wow, pure summer! This is such a perfect song for the season. I'm impressed.
Even though sometimes it looks like they're stalking her haha.
A Pink – Secret Garden↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
Sweet overload! Pure and flowery. Why does it almost give me an old school vibe? Could be because they're all singing together like that and keep doing the shiny eye thing at the camera, haha.
Goo Hye Sun – It's You↓↓↓
Category: Ballad
Her voice is pretty here. Such a nice song.
HarryBigButton – Control↓↓↓
Category: Rock
Has an old school sound, which gives it a unique feeling haha.
CoreMagaZinE – Dance↓↓↓
Category: Rock
Nice beat! I love the vocals too. I couldn't stop tapping my foot to this. The masks in the MV are kind of creepy haha.
Mohho Project – Westerlies↓↓↓
Category: Indie
Asian Chairshot – Mask Dance↓↓↓
Category: Rock
Interesting and kind of creepy MV. They sound good here too. Wish I knew more about what was going on, though! Any symbolism or cultural meaning is unfortunately lost on me… Is it about death?
J Bel – 1999 사랑↓↓↓
Category: Rock
Artistic MV and a dreamy rock song.
Kuang Program – You Or Me↓↓↓
Category: Rock
Another dreamy rock song.
Yoon Jong Shin – Highway Romance ↓↓↓
Category: Kpop
Happy and fun!

Julie Berry, award-winning children's and young adults' author, discussed the value of language and finding one's voice at the English Reading Series.
PROVO, Utah (October 17, 2014)—What is the value of language, and why is expression such a fundamental part of who we are? Author Julie Berry addressed this question in her presentation of her award-winning book for young adults, All the Truth That's In Me, at the English Reading Series.
"I feel like I am a worshipper at the altar of language, "said Berry. "How fortunate we are that language is our human birthright, and that we have the opportunity to use it and make something of it."
While completing her MFA in writing for children and young adults at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, Berry wrote 3 books. Berry explained that the beginning of her writing career was a series of trial and error as she struggled to publish some of her best works.
"The third book that I wrote while in school was All the Truth That's in Me," said Berry. "This book sat on my hard-drive for about five years after I wrote it. As I wrote it my husband said to me, 'This is your award-winner.'"
Berry continued, "However, we had shown it to my agent and editor at the time, and they both thought there were some aspects of the subject matter that were a little uncomfortable."
With this perceived failure Berry went on to write her next novel, The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place, which also did not initially receive offers for publication. Determined not to let these setbacks define her, however, Berry decided to send All the Truth That's in Me out to publishers once again.
All the Truth That's in Me went on to elicit a 6-publisher auction and is now published in 14 different countries, receiving many awards and recognition worldwide. The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place later received 3 offers for publication as well, and was recently released in September 2014.
"The moral of my story is to just keep trying," said Berry. "Don't give up. Just keep working on your projects, keep starting something new, and keep finding that audience for them."
Berry's determination to use language in writing as a form of self-expression is a fundamental theme in her life. The idea of self-expression is a vital element that occurs in All the Truth That's in Me, a concept in the novel that largely emphasizes the need to value women's voices and bring them out of silence.
"All the Truth That's in Me explores topics of silence of speech, of violence against women, and of obtaining an education as a path to using one's voice in the world. Obviously this is a living reminder that these issues are not simply buried in our cultural and historical past but that they are alive and present still in the world today."
She concluded, "What I hope this book can impart to readers is the reminder that having a voice and cultivating the skills to use it effectively is a tremendous privilege, and one not to be neglected, ignored, or given away."
