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.

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.

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 In 2012, large amounts of white marble Buddhist statues of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties were unearthed from the Buddhist sculpture hoard at Bei Wuzhuang in Ye City Site. This paper makes a comparative study on a bodhisattva statue in meditation seated in half-lotus posture (resting right ankle on the knee of pendent left leg and holding right hand upward) among them and another sculpture of the same type and made in the same period unearthed at the Xiude Monastery site in Dingzhou; from the double-tree, stupa and coiling dragon designs shown by them, this paper explores the commonalities and differences of the Buddhist arts in these two areas. Moreover, this paper reveals that this motif emerged earlier in the Ye City area than in the Dingzhou area, and diffused to the latter after it became popular in the Ye City area. By these conclusions, this paper infers that the white marble meditating statue seated in half-lotus position with the date of the second year of Wuding Era (544 CE) in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA was produced in Ye City area.

Jeffrey Sachs's new book (The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time, Penguin Press: New York, 2005) advocates a “Big Push” featuring large increases in aid to finance a package of complementary investments in order to end world poverty. These recommendations are remarkably similar to those first made in the 1950s and 1960s in development economics. Today, as then, the Big Push recommendation overlooks the unsolvable information and incentive problems facing any large-scale planning exercise. A more promising approach would be to design incentives for aid agents to implement interventions piecemeal whenever they deliver large benefits for the poor relative to costs.

Recent discussions of the history of American communism have generated a good deal of controversy. A youthful generation of “new social historians” has combined with veterans of the Communist party to produce a portrait of the Communist experience in the United States which posits a tension between the Byzantine pursuit of the “correct line” at the top and the impulses and needs of members at the base trying to cope with a complex reality. In the words of one of its most skillful practitioners, “the new Communist history begins with the assumption that … everyone brought to the movement expectations, traditions, patterns of behavior and thought that had little to do with the decisions made in the Kremlin or on the 9th floor of the Communist Party headquarters in New York.” The “new” historians have focused mainly on the lives of individuals, the relationship between communism and ethnic and racial subcultures, and the effort to build the party's influence within particular unions and working-class constituencies. Overall, the portrait has been critical but sympathetic and has served to highlight the party's “human face” and the integrity of its members.

At the first International Meeting on Radio-Aids to Marine Navigation held in London in May 1946 some 105 delegates of twenty-three maritime nations met to discuss and witness demonstrations of some of the remarkable advances made in radio-navigation during the war and to consider the progress made in relation to their peacetime uses for marine transport.At the invitation of the U.S. government a second meeting was held a year later, in New York and New London, to show the progress made in America, to illustrate, with demonstrations, the U.S. policy and to pave the way to international standardisation. The U.K. delegation was led by Sir Robert Watson-Watt.
