Home to immigrants from more than 140 countries speaking over 180 languages, Los Angeles is a microcosm of the world. While Los Angeles' ethnic enclaves have been the subject of study by researchers from a wide range of fields, these enclaves remain under-researched from a linguistic standpoint. Multilingual La La Land addresses the sociolinguistic landscape of the Greater Los Angeles (GLA) area, providing in-depth accounts of the sixteen most spoken languages other than English in the region. Each chapter introduces the history of the language in the L.A. region, uses census figures and residential densities to examine location-based and network-based speech communities, and discusses the patterns of usage that characterize the language, including motivations to maintain the language. How these patterns and trends bear on the vitality of each language is a central consideration of this book.

Through beautiful designs and imagery, LA LA LOVELY invites readers to find their true identity where there is brokenness, discover the love of God, and design their own special place of beauty. Author Trina McNeilly has been blogging for nearly a decade. While she spent her days sharing beauty, looking for lovely things, and redecorating her childhood home, her parents' unexpected divorce shattered her ideals of "home." Through this journey, Trina learned that beauty is not beyond the laundry pile, chipped paint, dirty dishes, broken table or broken life. It's right in the center of it. Trina found that God IS beauty. And that he invites us to look, discover, uncover and find because when we find beauty, we find God. In LA LA LOVELY, Trina shares stories and inspiration from her journey of finding, and being found, by beauty. You will find deep matters of the heart along with practical pointers on things like decorating your home, finding your style, and creating beautiful spaces. Each chapter offers essays, beautiful photographs, design tips, and practical advice for creating a place of beauty and belonging no matter where you live or what you're going through.

All of these seven principles are important and practical for born-again believers. We must seek God daily for direction, wisdom, understanding, and revelation. Everything we have comes from the goodness of God. God is a giver, and we must be also. We must strive to emulate him and his nature. God’s word is true, and if we apply his word to our lives, we will have good success. Obeying is key. We must submit to the things of God and what he has already established. Seeking God and his righteousness we will not go wrong. We are a chosen people created for great exploits. We are to do mighty things for the Kingdom of God. Support the work of the ministry, be generous, and trust God, no matter what. Live a faithful life and pass it on to the next generation. Leave a legacy of faith and righteousness. I pray that if you are a new believer that you will take these simple and practical tools and apply them to your daily life as you grow in your walk with the Lord. For those of you who may have been in the body of Christ for some time, my prayer is that these seven biblical principles will enhance your walk with Christ. There are only seven principles listed here. As you are growing in the image of God, you will adopt more of his principles such as giving, honesty, and serving. You are already fully equipped with what you need to be victorious and successful as a Christ like individual. Develop your gifts. Seek his guidance daily, submit each day to him and all that you aspire to do. He will lead you by his spirit in the path that you should take. Include him. Remember, anything that he’s not in dies. Consult with him even in the seemingly small and insignificant things. He wants to be a part of it all. I pray that this helps and encourages your life. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Do you ever look around you and just think that this journey we call 'life' is all a little bit crazy? Why is everything laid out for us as soon as we are born to follow a certain path? Does this path even necessarily lead to fulfillment and happiness? Who are the architects of this path and what is their agenda? Why do we always live in a World of Wars, of poverty, yet others seem to thrive? Five years ago I asked the same questions to myself, was I living or just existing? This led me on a journey of deep research and discovery both of the outer World around me, and my own inner World. I realised that a lack of understanding leads to a lack of fulfillment and purpose in life, so this book is an honest assessment of hard hitting questions about beliefs and traditions we as species have held for eons. I found that many problems exist because these beliefs are never explored or probed with a critical eye, and indeed once re-evaluated can potentially lead to a much deeper understanding of where and how we fit into this mad World, and ultimately to a lot more happiness. Everything in this book is uncensored and from the heart, and from a place of wanting a better World for everyone both individually and collectively. It is challenging in its very Nature and it is meant to be, because unless we challenge ourselves we will never grow.
