Holm, Jennifer L, Matthew Holm, and Lark Pien. Sunny Side Up. New York, NY: Graphix- Scholastic, 2015. Print.The name of the book is Sunny side up.  The authors are Jennifer and Matthew Holm and it was published in 2015 by Scholastic Inc. Sunny got sent off to Florida to live with her grandfather for the summer.  Everyday her grandfather said that he had something fun but it was always so boring. In the place where Sunny's grandfather lived there was only old people but there was another kid with their dad to visit his name was Buzz.Things I liked/don't like I liked when Sunny went into the pond and Buzz yelled ''BIG AL'' it was so funny. Big Al is an alligator he's big and dark green he lives in the golf pond.  I didn’t like how Sunny's grandfather lied to her about smoking.  She found out that he smoked because she found a cigarette packs everywhere in the car, bathroom and the cereal.My rating for the book is 5/5 I would recommend this book to age 10-15 because it’s kind of hard for kids age 7-9 or lower it has words that they won’t understand but for older kids they will understand. Highly Recommended: 5 out of 5 starsReviewer: LanitaMy name is Lanita.  My favorite place to read is in my grandma’s room with the fan on.  My favorite book is Sunny side up its so fun to read.  I would recommend this book to my grandma because she loves reading books and she will probably like this book.  Reading is important because it could show you words you never seen before it could level up your education.

Kinney, Jeff. Diary of a Wimpy Kid. [Series]. New York: Amulet Books, 2007. Print.The book that I read was Diary of Wimpy Kid. The author is Jeff Kenny. The book was made in 2007 and the publisher is Amulet Books. The story is about a boy named Greg Hefley. This whole book is about his summer year. He lives with his two brothers Rodrick and Manny and his parents. This whole book is about his journal.  The thing I like about this book is when Greg meets Fregly because Fregly acts weird. What I also like is when Greg goes to camp and they make farting noises.  What I did not like about this book is that Jeff Kenny did not add color and it’s too easy to read. I rate this book 4 out of 5. Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 starsReviewer: Nicholas    My name is Nicholas. I love to read non-fictional books like The Guiness Book of World Records. My favorite place to read is on the bus. My favorite book is Diary of Wimpy Kid. I don’t like long chapter books.

Bell, Cece, and David Lasky. El Deafo. New York, NY: Amulet Books, 2014. Print.The book I chose was El Deafo.  It was written by Cece Bell and R.J. Palaciao, published in 2014 by Amulet books. This story is about a four year old bunny that got sick and had to go to hospital.  Her brain was swelling. Then she got home and discovered she was totally deaf and had to wear hearing aids. Then they move and she went to a new school. A new boy moves into the neighborhood and Cece likes that boy named Mike Miller. One day she was running with her new friend through the trees and poked her eye. After her eye healed then she got blind and had to get glasses. I like how Cece thinks she's a super hero it’s cute. And it’s also cute when she likes Mike Miller.  I like how she has a sidekick that’s her friend. And I love how they make those warm fuzzies at the end! I don’t like when that dumb bully broke Cece's pencil it was mean. I don’t like when those girls push her around that was also mean!  It’s sad when she was a loner at first then she found new friends!   I would give this book a rating of 5 out of 5.  It is fantastic!!!Highly Recommended: 5 out of 5 starsReviewer: CharityMy name is Charity.  I like to read fictional books. My favorite place to read is my window sill. My favorite book is Yandere journal. I think reading is important because it helps people read and makes them smarter that’s what I think about that!

Abstract Background There are no independent studies measuring the availability of premium brand counterfeit cigarettes in New York City from licensed retailers. Methods We forensically analyzed the cigarette packaging of Marlboro Gold (n = 1021) purchased from licensed tobacco retailers in New York City, using ultraviolet irradiation and light microscopy to determine whether they were counterfeit. Results We find that while only 0.5% (n = 5) of our sample exhibits at least one characteristic synonymous with counterfeit packaging, none of our packs can be conclusively classified as counterfeit. Conclusions We do not find any counterfeit Marlboro Gold packs purchased at full price from licensed cigarette retailers throughout New York City. Future research using test purchases should include other venues (eg, street and online) and specifically ask for discounts to ascertain the overall presence of counterfeit cigarettes. Implications This is the first study to independently measure the availability of counterfeit cigarette packs purchased at full price from licensed retailers in New York City. We find that none of the Marlboro Gold packs purchased from licensed cigarette retailers are counterfeit.

The Hog's Back Formation, exposed in Ottawa, Ontario, is a new stratigraphic unit that disconformably overlies the Rockcliffe Formation and underlies, with apparent conformity, the Pamelia Formation of the Ottawa Group. The Hog's Back Formation is 14.3 m thick at its type section (Prince of Wales Falls, Ottawa) and thickens eastward to 27 m in Russell County, about 40 km southeast of Ottawa. It consists of lower, dark green shales with thin lime-mudstone and sandstone interbeds, and upper thin to thick beds of fine crystalline greenish grey sandy and calcareous dolostones with thin to medium (10–30 cm) pinkish grey, bioclastic packstone and grainstone interbeds. The latter thicken eastward and correlate with the "St. Martin calcarenites" of the Beaconsfield Member, Laval Formation, in the Montréal area. Together, these beds correlate with the Valcour Formation, Chazy Group, in the Lake Champlain area of New York. Conodonts and macrofossils indicate a Chazyan (Llandeilian) age for the Hog's Back Formation. The lower sandstone–shale–carbonate assemblage of the formation indicates sedimentation in peritidal environments, and documents initial regional flooding of nearshore sandy facies of the Rockcliffe Formation. The overlying carbonate facies represent sabkha environments punctuated by storm deposition. The gross shallowing-upward succession of the formation was terminated by renewed flooding associated with another regional transgressive event heralding deposition of the Ottawa Group.

Seasonal Responses

A comparison of Chrysopa downesi strains from Montana and from New York indicates that they share several characteristics in their seasonal cycles: (1) a short-day – long-day requirement for diapause prevention, (2) dark green adult coloration all year round, (3) relatively high t values (lower thermal thresholds for development), and (4) sensitivity to photoperiod during the nondiapause preoviposition period.Responsiveness to prey differs between the two strains. Prey presence very slightly reduces diapause incidence and greatly shortens the nondiapause preoviposition period in the strain from Montana, whereas prey presence has little or no influence on the strain from the northeastern United States. The strains also differ in their ability to terminate diapause spontaneously; unlike the northeastern strain, a proportion of the northwestern strain ends diapause without an overt, external stimulus.The two populations of C. downesi thus share the two characteristics that are basic to the model of C. downesi's sympatric speciation from an ancestor like C. carnea. In contrast, the differences between the two populations in their responsiveness to prey presence parallels the geographic variation in C. carnea. We propose two alternate pathways (polyphyletic and monophyletic) for the evolution of the seasonal responses of the two geographic populations.

Or when the book seems real in my mind! I like that the book takes me to a whole new worldI didn’t like that Augustus dies right when things in life where getting good for them! I did not like that when Hazel goes to the place she dreamed going and to meet the guy who was there to tell her what it was about was a disappointment because the guy was mean and didn’t want to help her!My rating for the book would be four out of five.I would recommend this book to kids that are older than me because there are lots of hard words and some material that is hard to understand!Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 starsReviewer: KiaraMy name is name Kiara and my favorite books to read are mystery and horror.
