The technoligy I dont think will be able to read the expressions from the people in my classroom because i dont that there is such a technolighy like this because it sounds almost impossible to evr make something liike this because it was back then and back then there was not anyhting like this or even untill this day there is nothing like it
Then if there was ever something like this technoligy i dont think it will work very well considering that every one is in school and mostly when anybody is in school they are usually bummed out about being in school and i think the machine will read mixed emotions and the computer or the device will read everyones emotions wrongs because like they say id in the first paragragh how she had mixed emotions I think that that is pretty crazy to have for just one person because
I dnt think just one person can ever hve that many emotions even if was a cartoon or a painting
Lastly i dont think that everybody in my school will allow the emotion reader decide there amotions because like me I will not feel comfortable with one of those readers lie many other people in my classroom will be comfortable with that reader to decde or find out there emotions because the reader might get the wrong emotion and people might start making fun of other peoples emotions and there might be a big argument with the reader and somebody might get mad because that is not how they are feeling and people might get mad because the reader might say something about somebodys buisness and people might get embarassed about what other people might think about ther hidden emotions. | 1 |
For years, the United States has been mass producing and using cars. It may sound surprising, but America has already reached its peak when it comes to buying cars (source 4). More and more people around the globe have begun to realize the benefits of using alternative means of transportation. Places such as Vauban, Bogata, Paris, and even New York have implemented programs to encourage the limitted use of cars. The idea of giving up such a comfort may sound tragic at first, but reducing car usage has many advantages.
We use cars everyday for pretty basic purposes. To get to work or school or to run errands are just a few examples. Now, imagine what would happen if a car were not available to you. It probably would not be the end of the world. You could catch a bus or ask for a ride from somebody. If you really needed to, you could even ride your bike or walk to wherever you needed to go. People in the past tended to fear using alternative transport, for varying reasons. Maybe friends or family are not willing to give rides. Maybe the sheer thought of walking a mile may seem terrifying or ridiculous. The most common reason is probably that having a car is just too convienant, it seems that there is no need for any other way of transportation! But life can and should be adjusted to fit into these sources of transport. In Vauban, Germany, for example, residents have given up their cars in favor of a life without them (source 1). I just proves that contrary to popular belief, cars are actually not a neccesity!
Citizens in Vauban, Germany walk or ride bicycles when they need to go someplace (source 1). It's almost needless to say this, but they have a much healthier lifestyle than most car-owners in the United States! They are not afraid of walking or riding a bike a bit to get where they need to. Not only are these people in better physical shape, but one mother, Heidrum Walter, tells us that when she had a car, she was always tense, but now that she has given it up, she seems happier (source 1). Carlos Arturo Plaza, in Bogata, Columbia, says that using his bike on their annual no-car day reduces his stress levels. There is a direct corrolation between physical activity and mental well-being. The more activity, the better you feel. By limitting car usage, we are also encouraging the physical exercise that comes in place of it, making us a happier, healthier community.
Maybe the most important reason to reduce car usage is to protect our enviroment. By obtaining and burning fossil fuels, we are both running out of this resource and posing the threat of spills and air pollution to our environment. The gasoline we use to fill our cars certainly won't last forever. It won't even last for much longer at the rate we are burning it at. Also, spills can be devasting to the ecosystem it impacts, as we have seen in the past, for example the BP oil spill. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage to the gasoline we use to fill our cars is the air pollution it leaves behind. Transportation is the second leading source of emissions in the US, behind power plants (source 4). Also, in Paris, the smog from automobiles got to be so bad that they set laws to ban cars on certain days (source 2). Just by reducing car usage for a few days, the smog cleared tremendously. It wouldn't be hard at all for each individual in this community to cut back on the amount of time they spend driving in their cars, if for no other reason than to keep our Earth clean.
Over the years, we Americans have grown accustomed to relying on cars for our every need, but we can't do that anymore. As a community, we need to open our eyes and see the changes happening around us. Cars are not a neccesity. We don't even need to completely get rid of them, but it is neccesary for us to cut back, for the sake of our health and our environment. It may take some getting used to, but I promise, it is more than possible. In the words of Bill Ford, we can soon move forward to a world where "pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions, and improve saftey." (source 4). | 4 |
Would you like someone to be able to read your emotions? Reading someone's emotions ican help you know that they need some help. Here are some reasons why it is good to be able to read emotions.
Reading the emotions of someone is amazing and should be used. In the article, Dr. Huang stated, "The facial expresions for each emotion are universal, even though individuals often show varing degrees of expression." This shows why it is important to know how people feel when they are being taught something they don't understand.
Reading a person's emotions can be complicated when you're with a friend. The article states, " She's (The Mona Lisa) 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." This says that when The Mona Lisa was painted, she had 4 different emotions. When your with friends, it is unclear how they feel.
This research shows why it is necesary to read the emotions of somebody to know how they feel. This face reading software can help people who need help but can't tell others how they feel. Using software to read friends emotions can show you when they need your help. | 2 |
The Face, made by aliens or just a natural landform? The Face, believe it, is just a natural landform on Mars. Why, the Face, is a natural landform is because, for one we do have images of this landform, the Face is also like a natural landform we have here on earth, and if there was an ancient alien civilization on Mars it would benifit NASA, so why think we're hiding anything? Maybe there was once aliens, but the facts just don't prove that to be true, therefore it is indeed just a natural landform.
We do have many images of the Face. The very first one that was taken in 1976 does indeed look like a face, but over the years wtith new technology it doesn't look like a face anymore. Now you may say that it's because of erosion and blah blah, but it's not. It has always been just a mesa which is very common on Mars, "New high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASAs Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa." With our better technology it clearly shows that it is indeed not a face, therefore maybe you should stop believing it is.
The Face, is like one of the natural landforms we have here on earth. These natural landforms are natural occuring lava dome that took the form of an isolated mesa and they look about the same as the many that are on Mars. "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, says Garvin. Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. All in all, Garvin is a real, bona fide scientist, so why not believe him?
If that still didn't convince you then this might. Simply if there was ever life on any other planet in our solar system we, NASA, would highly benifit from it. We would be able to study them and learn everything about them. So why would we hide it? Well we could if they, the aliens, didn't feel very comfortable with us telling everyone about them wanting to go see our leader and what-not. "Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Marsevidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." Yes we could be hiding it from you for their sake not ours, so before you think that we're hiding things from you for us think about the aliens too.
Sure maybe we're all wrong and in the end you were right and there were once alien life forms on Mars, but that simply can't be true. The things we have; the images, an example of one here on earth, and the realization that if there were ever life forms on Mars it would benifit NASA and everyone else on Earth. So if you would please take your skeptical specticals off and realize that not everything you think is right is right, because maybe you're wrong. Who knows though there could be aliens out there on Mars hiding or maybe they're watching us as you read this. | 3 |
In the year 1976, when Viking 1 space craft was taking photographs of possiable landing spots for Viking 2 spacecraft, they found a formation in a rock that looked like a human face. The shadows made the rock look like it had a nose, mouth, and two eyes, like a human. This was found in a region of the Red Planet called Cydonia. The "Head" was nearly two miles from end to end, and it seemed to be starring back at the cameras.
The controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab were probably quite surprised when this face popped up on their screens, looking them right in the eyes. This sensation was short lived. Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa, which was common around Cydonia. The only difference with this one is it had unusal shadows that made it seem like an Egyptian Pharaoh. A few days later NASA unveiled the image for the public eye to see. The caption on this picture was "Huge rock formation... which resembles a human head.... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose and a mouth." NASA'S reasoning was that the picture would help engage public attraction to Mars.
This public picture was soon a pop icon. It starred in Hollywood films, was in books, magazines, talk shows on the radio, and even haunted grogery store checkout lines for over 25 years. Some people think that this picture is evidence of life on Mars. Conspiracy theorist say that this is information NASA would rather hide. Defenders of the NASA budget wish that there was life on Mars, as this would make NASA more popular, and even richer, when people use the picture in books, movies, magazines, and more.
Although most scientist believed the face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority to NASA, when Mars Global Surveyor arrived at the Red Planet eighteen long years after the Viking missions ended. Jim Garvin, cheif scientist, said that they felt like it was a right of taxpayers to see photographs of the face as soon as possiable. On April 5, 1998, Michael Malin snapped a photograph ten times sharper then the old one. This became popular with web surfers, as they were waiting for the first photo to show up on a JPL website. Only this picture showed what they were not wanting, a natural landform. This was not an alien momument after all.
While most people were satisfied, others were not. They still think that NASA is still hiding evidence of an alien momument. The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April 1998. The camera on board MGS had to peer though whispy clouds to see it. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden behind clouds on purpose, so that humans would not be able to see them. Mission controls planned to take another photograph of it. It is not easy work, and it is not easy to target Cydonia. They just do not pass the face very often.
Nevertheless, on April 8, 2001, a cloudless summer day in Cydonia, MGS drew close enough for a second veiw. They had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the face in the field of view.
They used the cameras highest resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans at 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Vikings photo."As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size. So if there were objects on the ground such as airplanes or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could have seen what they were" Said Jim Garvin.
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa, which are landforms that are common around the American West. "It reminds me of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho" Says Garvin. "Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height of the Face on Mars." He added. So weather or not theFace is an alien landform or a rock formation, NASA does wish it was an alien landform, just to bring pupiclatiy to the Red Planet. However, it is highly imposable for it to be an alien momument, as they would have to have oxygen to survive,and they would have to find plenty of food and water to also survive. | 1 |
How werid would it be to go to another planet just like Earth? Well in the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author goes into great detail of how NASA is trying to make that thought possible. Even though this idea of visting another planet is somewhat dangerous, the author seems to believe that we as a human species should expand our minds to more imagination and innovation.
In the article, the author descibes Venus as Earth's twin. Scientists have said that Venus once could have had many oceans,mountains,and even life just like we do here on Earth. Even though Venus is right next door to us, we still have not been able to send any man to Venus. The article supports this by stating that Venus has very dangerous temperatures of 800 degress Fahrenheit, an atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide,and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience here on Earth. The author states in the article, "Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study,despite its proximity to us."
The author then goes into detail of how we can avoid all of those obsticles by explaning a few ideas that NASA has came up with when it comes to visting our twin planet. The article states that NASA is working on a ship to hover over the surface of Venus. Of course, the ship would hover far away from all of the dangerous temperatures and atmospheric pressures near it's surface. The author also states that NASA is thinking back to a form of old technology called mechanocal computers that would be very hard to melt and destroy by Venus's harsh temperatures.
Through all of the doubts and crazy things humans would have to encounter, the author still holds hope that someday we as a human species can expand our limitations. At the very end of the article the author states,"Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." | 2 |
The Facial Action Coding System is an unnecesscary piece of equipment. The software that would be able to detect the emotions of an individual would have several negative affects on society. The reading of emotions is a useful tool when it is detected by someone's natural instinct, but it would not be helpful to only have an understanding on someone's emotions due to the results given on a screen. The Facial Action Coding System is not a valuable to students because it would decrease the rate at which students learn, identifying someone's emotions will not change how they are feeling, and it would decrease their motivation for work in the future.
The ability for this device to detect the emotions of a student while they are working would be detrimental to the health and responsibilty of the student. The author states that the machines will "recognize when the student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective intructor" (D'Alto 6). This would be harmful to the students determination to learn. It would also cause several students to fall behind in their education. Every student experiences boredom in class, but the teacher is unable to change the lesson everytime to best fit one individual student because the other children will fall behind. Students are still capable of learning material when they are bored even if it is not as effectively as when they are interested. Students need to also learn how to work through their emotions to better their ability to improve. When these students get into the work field, they can not call in sick or slack off every time they experience a negative emotion. This device would be teaching children that they should only be productive if they are intrigued by their task. This would not be a proper lesson to teach growing individiuals.
The technology is able to identfy a human's true emotions, but that will not alter the way that person feels. Humans can often acknowledge how they are feeling, but the acknowledgement itself does not allow them to feel better. As stated in the article, "They even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one" (D'Alto 7). This line states that the lab partner will be able to tell a difference netween a genuine and meaningful smile from a harshly forced smile. There is a difference between the two because smiling will not make you happy although it is a happy gesture. The machine informing someone that they need to smile will not actually change the emotions of that person. Politicians and celebrities are major culprits of this action. They often smile as they are told to do, but they are not always genuine. They are typically hiding something from their spectators such as when they are not being truthful (D'Alto 8). Just because famous people smile when talking or looking at their audience does not change whether or not they are happy individuals. If humans themselves are unable to change their emotions when they can detect that something is wrong, then machines will be unable to do that also. Although it can give people a precise measurement of their emotions, it will not change how they feel. Therefore, investing in this system would be extremely useless and wasteful.
The technology that recognizes emotions in order to change the student potential will decrease their motivation. The skill to be compable of working through tough situations is essential to posess. Modifying a students' workload would harm their motivation. These students will no longer be motivation to be their most effective because they will expect everything in life to be modified to their liking. Unfortunately, this is not a trait that can be successfully transferred to real world issues. Therefore, these students will be less prepared for potential problems they may encounter. This system would also decrease the dependence on human connection. The text states that computers need to understand emotional communications because "most human connection is nonverbal" (D'Alto 6). Although that statement is true, there is little use for computers undertsanding how humans feel if they can not help the individual with their emotons. This may cause people to reply more on the machines, which would lessen the amount of human connection that exists--much like previous technology advances have done. Human connection is essential to a striving population, therefore it will have negative affect on society.
The Facial Action Coding Sytem would be wasteful to the society, and would cause several negative effects. It is not something worth investing in because it would harm the developing youth. Not only do these machines prove useless to emotions of people, but it will also decrease the motivation of students and future employees. | 5 |
The author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite Exploring Venus the Evening star," is the one of the brightest point of light in night sky, making it simple for even an amature stargazer to spot. Venu is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasinally the closet in distance too. they said the venus was the Earth twin it becasue Venus ans the earth was the closet planet in the hole planet on the space, and that why it the brightest point in the night sky; this is why it's not worthy pursuit despite the danger it present On Page 2. it said " No spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explanin why not a single sapceship has touches down on venus in more than decades. Numerous factors cintribute to Venus's reputation as challenge planet for human to study, despite its proximity to us". Exploring Venus was despite the danger because On page 3. said " Even more challenging are the cloud of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere". that why Venus is whorthy pursuit despite the dangers presents. | 0 |
Dear Senator,
I believe that we should not keep the Electoral College because i feel as if it would be easier for people to vote somore people would actually vote. I know the Electoral College was established by our fouding fathers, but it is time to tart with something new and for something new to be established. I would honestly choose the popular vote because it also puts a suspence on people about who will win. The Electoral College may be widely regrded as an anachronism but when we vote we do not vote for a presidential candidate we're actually voting for slate electors. The college does not have a democratic pedigree which is another reason why we should use popular vote. When i vote i like to know as soon as possible and i feel as if we had popular vote it would be faster to do. Opinoins may not be taken inconcideration but my opinion is strong that we should use popular vote i really feel like more people would come to vote if we used that. People may feel like the Electoarl College is too long of a process so they just say oh i dont have to go vote so im not going to. The Electoral College avoids elections but without them how would we know about our future president and how would we know whether or not the person would do a good job at running our country? Overall i will stay with popular vote but if they choose not to do it that will not stop me from voting to choose who will run my country and do a good job at it! i know that whatever desicion is made was for the best intrest for our country.11 | 1 |
Over the years cars have been known to be a very useful for transportation and to get people to their destination. But not everybody thinks cars should be used as much or at all, for many reasons. But there is only two main reasons why people disagree that cars are needed, that is pollution and people have less exercise. Because of these two reasons companies,programs and even President Obama are trying to reduce the use of cars. They are trying to figure out a way to help both the environment and peoples well being.
Pollution seems to be increasing over time because of cars. For that reason is why companies, programs and Obama are trying to decrease the use of cars. For example Obama has goals to curb the United States greenhouse gas emissions to help the pollution go down. America has so much love for vehicles, but studies show that america's love affair with its cars has been decreasing. Year by year americans seem to buy buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licences. Since 2005 the number of miles driven as dropped steadily.
Most people see cars as the easier and quicker way to get to where they want to get. Because of these reason is why people dont exercise and they are not has healthy and fit as they should be. Bogota, Columbia has a program that is set to spread to other countries. The program has made a car-free day where people dont use their cars all day. they either hike, ride a bike, skat, took buses and even walked to their destination. I honestly think that is a great program because I dont think people should always rely on there cars to get where they have to. doing all of these things helps people because that is healthier and it less pollution as well.
Next time you think about getting driving your car somewhere, think about how your going to increase the environments pollution. There are so many different ways to gets to your destination that are better for you and the environment you live in. There are great programs all around the United States that are trying to decrease the use vechicles which is slowly working as the year goes by. Next time you wanna go somewhere ride a bike , take a bus or even walk to where ever it is you want to go because people shouldnt be depending on their vechicles as much as they think. | 2 |
Mona Lisa was happy 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgust, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. this show us that somehow computer software can recognize our emotion. at the University of Illinois, working collaboration with prof andd University of Amesterdam are experts at developing better ways for humans and computer to communicate. in the article say "computer reconginze the subtle facial movements we human use to express how we feel".
Dr. Huang and Dr. Paul Eckman was working on processing to begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer modle of the face, Eckman has classified that six basic emotions are happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. this is so true because when we have a lot of homework this emotion can relate to us. according to the text " by the weight the different unite, the software can even identify mixed emotions.
most of us would havetroble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried. in fact, we humans perform this ame impressive calculation every day. Dr. Huang computer software stores similar antomical imformation as electronic code, perhaps Dr. Huang's emotion algorithms are different sort of " Da Vinci code.
Imagine a computer also knows that when you're happy or sad. According to the article " the same technology can amake computer-animated faces more expressive--for video games or video surgery".
there is one question " does your expression in the mirror suggest an emotion? yes, emotion instruction for a face that can look happy, sad,,,,etc. They are even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and foreced one. But in a false smile, the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and different muscle, the risorius. according to the aricle " used to spot when a smilling politician or clebrity isn't being truthful.
Facial feedback theory of emotion, moving four facian muscles not only expresses emotion, but also may even help produce them. Constantin Stanislavsky, had his actors carefully reproduce smilling and frowining as a way of creating these emotions on state. according to the article " Empathy felling may happen because we unconsiously imitate another person's facial expressions". This is why Dr. Huang and Dr. Eckman was decovery about the emotion. | 0 |
The author said that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. He tells us about how nobody survived on each misson but a few hours because of all the problems there and he said
"not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in 3 decades". Venus is 97 percent carbon dioxide. It also is very hot, has one of the hottest surfaces and is the hottest in our solar system.
Yes it is dangerous goinf there but they want to see if life is on there and how different things are. The only reson they keep going back is because they think there was life and oceans just like on earth. They are all putting their life on the line just to figure this out. I think they want another place to take people and maybe start something there on a new planet. They also talk about how technology today is way better and could help more since its improved.
It is very dangerous and most of the reaserchers when they go there look for things to take back so they can see if life was there or is life can be there. The author says "many resherchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of venus" meaning they most likely won't give up on venus. "our thought on earth should not be limited by the dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | 2 |
The Face on Mars could be a alien artifact, but its not. The Face is only a natural land form. The reasons are, conspiracy therorists think NASA would hide evidence of life on Mars. It takes time to prepare for the pictures. It looks like landforms on Earth as well as Mars.
Conspiracy therorist think NASA would hide this evidence from the world. Nasa shows an image with a caption that says "huge rock formation."
Cydonia became a priority for the Nasa program. Later another team when to go get pictures of the Face and all they found was a natural landform.
It takes time to prepare the pictures and the launches. NASA sent only 3 teams to go and look at the Face. The reason they did that is because of how much time it could take to prepare for these journeys to space.
"As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size," (paragraph 11).
The Face looks like landforms from Earth as well. The Face landform reminds "Garvin that it looks mostly like Middle Buttle in the Snake River of Idaho," (paragraph 12). "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about he same height as the Face of Mars," (paragraph 12).
The Face of Mars looks like landforms we have on Earth. It takes time to perpare for the space missions. Finally conspiracys think NASA wouldn't show the evidence or hide life. Most of these things can even help the mesa of the Face be another landform. | 1 |
In the article the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables compters to identify human emotions. I Would like to have computers like that becasue I would love to know my emotions everyday. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would like to know every now and then. So, the computers are going to tell you what your emotions are and tell you the percent to how happy you are, or how disgusted, fearful, angry, and many more. The computers can calculate anyones emotion whenever they would like to know.
The computers are there for people when they want to know there emotions. Like when they are having a bad day and they want to see how sad they are. All they have to do is go to the computer to find out. If I had that computer I would most deffinetly go to it.
But since I don't have it I just figure it out on my own by just relaxing and minding my own business.
Whoever came up with the human emotion computer is very smart becasue you know how many people would go to that computer to see how upset or how angry they are. LIke expecially, when they are mad at ther boyfriend or girlfriend. Maybe they wil get mad enough to go the computer and realize that, that person isn't worth getting mad at. So, I do think those computers will come in handy. | 1 |
The surface of Mars is a great mystery to human kind, but the Face on Mars is just a coincidental human face resembling landform. The Face may resemble a human face, but there are also many other things that humans think are faces. One of these landforms that may look like a face is the face on the moon and even clouds can resemble faces. Therefore I believe that the Face of Mars is just a natural landform.
Although it may appear as a face to many people created by aliens, there has been no scientific proof that aliens exist. It's obvious that the Face on Mars is a peninsula or hill landform that may happen to look like a human face. If there was a peninsula or hill landform on Earth that happened to appear as a face, would everyone jump to the assumption of aliens? Then again there is no scientific evidence that aliens don't exist, but aliens are just made up science fiction creatures that people have come to believe are real.
Therefore the Face on Mars is just a peninsula or hill landform that coincidentally happens to appear as a human face. Just because it happens to look like a humans face and its in outer space people jump to the assumption that aliens are the reason behind the Face on Mars. The entire idea of aliens is just a joke humans made up to scare other humans. In conclusion, that is why I believe the Face on Mars is just a natural landform that happens to resemble a human face. | 2 |
Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions and how easy is for humans identify emotions from another person face to face.
Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions because is a new system that is been using with anatomical information to make it easy to identify every single people just looking at some exactly angles on their face. In the text it states, "...studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code." The text also states, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang. So comouters need to understand that, too." The text finally states, "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for videogames or video surgery." Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotion because humans uses nonverbal communication every single moment like, if they saw something that they don't like or they don't prefer there face use to make some gestures that even the person don't even know that make that face that had express his/her emotions. The coding that this new computers have his so amazing because demostrates how technology had been make and evolution in so many people and not only people also around the world. But this kind of techology also is not the best because it put your identity in danger because the emotions that you make the computer stores all the emotional expressions and maybe with the time another people will have or find access to this archives.
Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions because the face is something that reveals how humans feel just looking at your ayes or your mouth, the face cannot hide nothing. In the text it states, "It's allabout those muscular action units. They even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one." The text also states." According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." The text finally states, " To an expert, faces dont't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human expressions because sometimes people likes to be alone when they feel sad, so they likes like to text with other people but the only thing they are looking at is the computer. The computer may been seen how the person is feeling because looks at some exactly angles on their faces to identify they real emotinal expressions of that moment when nobody is looking at them and may stores them so the computer have and example how the person faces looks like when is sad, happy or angry and also when the person is smiling and the smile is force because when a smile is forces always will look like very diferent because the muscles are making other movement, very different when the smile is spontaneousand real.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions because have the carateristics that make it unique to identify emotionals expressions and that will be not possible if the help of science will not be there to support this new technology and give some advices to make this possible and valuable for the scientists and the people that are using it to take advantage or for something really helpful witch may be the case for some people that hide their emotions, this technology can be a treatment for them that can show they are not the only ones and with that problem and it is normal but they have to be happy with this new technology that can help them. | 1 |
Have you ever been really bored of something, but your teacher in class can't tell? The Facial Action Coding system can be enabled on computers that can identify human emotions. There have been many scientists and researchers that are working on this so it can detect your emotions by the muscles in your body. It is kind of like when you are trying to detect a friends emotion because you can tell how they are feeling.
Imagine this a system that can read your emotions based on your facial expressions that is based off of facial muscles. This is something we already kind of do when we try to tell a friends facial expressions. This is something that we humans should be happy to have we hate being bored and a computer would be able to tell that we are, so it would never play that video or ad again which would make it would modify the lesson for each person according to Huang. Also if you really liked that video or ad that was just played they would play simliar ones to it.
Dr. Huang also explains that most communication is non verbal in fact most of our communication is non verbal.
So, what is the Facial Action Coding System you might be thinking. Well the facial action coding system is a computer that constructs a 3d model of each persons face. This must take a while since we do have 44 major muscles in our face. This computer is basically supposed to be able to detect at least the 6 main basic emotions. Happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. The machine can do so by it can tell the characteristic movements of each facial muscle. The article describes like when you raise your eyebrows you show surpise and when the muscles around your lips it shows anger. This can be benificial in a lot of ways especially when it can tell that you don't like something. Also humans might try to guess facial traits, but we can't describe each facial trait someone has.
Surely you are thinking that a machine can't detect somebodies emotions, but it could detect that the Mona Lisa she was 83% happy, 9% disgusted,6% fearful, and
2% angry. The machine might have some faults at first, but surely if they can make something like that they could improve it. This could be what humans need something or somebody that actually knows how we feel. If that's not convincing if we have psychologists that can detect our emotions based on our smile why can't they help the people coding these machines and get everything right.
In conclusion, is there a machine that can detect our feeling. There could be something or someone that can help in the near future, but currently this is just a project. This is something that could be in the future that will replace our current computers and/ or our smartphones. This is a start to something that could reveal al lot about us, our faces, and our emotions. | 2 |
There are pros and cons for both whywe should keep and get rid of the Electoral college.
You are voting for the electors, not the president. Voters don't get to choose the electors. Some electors might even defy the wishes of the people who voted for them. There are 538 electoral votes, which is an even number so their could be a tie.
It is rare that eletors will defy the wishes of the voters, but it has happened. In 2000 Gore had a high percentage of the popular vote than electoral votes. This is so rare that the only other time that it happened was in 1888. Most states give electoral votes on a winner-takes-all basis, some split the votes a little bit, because of this there is a clear winner. In the case of electoral votes, no one region of the United States can win alone, so the votes are spread out. If presidential elections were decided directly by the popular vote than region favorites would be elected abd the rest of the voters would feel that they did'nt vote for the president that was elected. Presidential candidates are most likely to campaign in "swing states" that they know they cn win the electoral votes from. Voters in these states are most likely to pay close attention to both candidates, so the most thoughtful voters will get the most representation. The most populated states or the "big states" get the most electoral votes, meaning the states with the most people the the most representation. With the Electoral College you increase your chances of having a majority (fifty percent or more). While there can be a tie, this is rare.
Since there are good arguements on both sides, a decision has to be made after careful thought. | 1 |
In the article it talks about a man that just got out of college and he is working a 2 part-time jobs working at the bank and the grocery store. So, his friend asked him if he wanted to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke said "Yes!" So, next he got to go on his 1st trip.
Lukes friend told him that UNRRA was hiring "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of peoples horses, cows, and mules. Luke and his friend signed up and they coundn't have been more happierin their life if they didn't do that because the got to help other animals and save peoples farms from being destroyed and the food supply. Next they headed for Greece with a ship load of 335 horses and enough hay and oats to feed them.
Luke helping his Aunt Katie had prepared him for all of the hard work he needed for this trip. On his 2nd trip Lukes job was to check on all of the animals every hour. He got to go to many different places like Italy, Europe, China, etc. He says he was "Grateful for the opportunity." The awareness stayed with him, leading his family to a big number of people and exchange visitors for many years. Now, would you like to do something like that? Do you want to do what he did? Just think about it. | 1 |
In the article, "Driving Cars Are Coming", there should not be a development of driverless cars. Driverless cars can cause so much stress safety wise and court wise. There should not be driverless cars.
First, Driverless cars can cause alot of stress on people and there safety. There is no proof that these cars can handle the main streets and highways, the author explained that these cars have only been tested on tracks that were specially made for these cars when he said,"General Motors created a concept car that could run on a special test track." Also the people oppurating these cars may get lazy while the car is in motion from just sitting there and might ending up falling asleep, the author described the fact that these cars only alert you when human assistance is needed but what if the driver falls asleep? The author says, "This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." That is why the cars are not up to standards for safety.
Second, Driverless cars can also become a great dibate in the court house. Everyone has different views on who to blame if the car was to get into an accident and the driver or passengers were to be injured.The author says,"If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" Also new laws would have to be made if these cars were to be made and out on the market, because of liability issues. The author says,"Even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in case of an accident." So the law and courts would be stuck arguing over these vehicles and the liability process.
In the end, the author made many valid point in this article discussing these newly thought about driverless cars. But I feel these cars should not be made because of the safety of the people driving these cars and their passengers and the people around them. Also it would be to big of a hastle to discuss liability issues and create new laws. Thats why i feel the driverless cars should not be produced. | 3 |
Driverless cars have the potential to be somthing great. These cars could make the road a safer place and save you money. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author makes points both for and againts driverless cars. Personally, I am for driverless cars.
Driverless cars could greatly reduce the amount of money spent on cars. Much like the cofounder of Google, Sergey Brin, I like the idea of being able to call for a driverless car. Sergey Brin foresees that these cars would use half the fuel of today's taxis. Households could save the money they saved from not buying a car to go on a much needed family vacation.
Driverless cars could be much safer than a car driven by a human. These cars would have many sensors. Google's modified Toyota Prius has a rotating sensor on the roof. While the human brain is amazing, it cannot process what is happening at all angles around the car. A hightened awareness of the car's surroundings could result in less wrecks. However, a human driver would still have to be in the front seat in case of an emergency.
Driverless cars could be intrumental in both long road trips and nights out. It can be very hard to stay awake when driving after a long day of work. The driverless car could drive while you doze off and has the ability to alert you when human supervision is needed. The same goes for long road trips. It is illegal and incredibly dangerous to drink and drive. With the driverless car, drinking and driving wrecks could be a thing of the past. After a night out you could crawl into your driverless car and be safe while it drives you home, given there is not a need for a human during the drive.
All in all, driverless cars could improve many aspects of life. The cars could save you money and allow you to rest after a long day. While there are still some risks associated with the driverless car, I believe the pros outweigh the cons. | 3 |
Driverless cars are becoming an increasingly popular topic as each day passes. There are many people that have been waiting decades to see this previously thought work of fiction to come to life. However, there are many people who are opposed to the idea. I am one of those people. Driverless cars sounds very futuristic and to an extent they seem like a brilliant idea. But there are some things involving it that I just don't trust.
For instance, if driverless cars are developed within our society, the Human race will become more or less obsolete. People need stimulation everyday, and driverless cars take that away from us. On average, people spend more than 3 to four hours in a car a day. Operating a car takes skill and practice, not everyone is allowed to drive one for the heck of it. You have to take tests. Driving a car provides the person with stimulation, keeping them aware of their surroundings. It also helps multitasking skills, like holding a conversation with someone while you're driving.
I'm not going to say that driverless cars would be completely bad for society, because that would be a lie. There are indeed some things that would benifit society if they were implimented. In the article it says, "In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and break themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills." I'm not against those features as long as there is some human interaction still there.
Driverless cars may infact be the furture, but would it really be a safe future? There are criminals with amazing technological capabilities that have the ability to hack into almost anything. So if all cars become driverless and only operate with a machine, then there's a huge possibility that your car and maybe even your mother's car would be hacked. A hacked car can't be controlled by the computer itself anymore and only responds to the commands the user controlling it is giving. Currently, there are no systems in place that protect someone's car from being hacked and controlled. In fact, there have been a few cases of that happening in recent years.
I admit that driverless cars sound amazing, but I believe the dangers outstand the opportunities. At any time, the government or the car companies themselves, would be able to stop your car. You might be on a highway or you might be on a back alley way, regardless you might get seriously injured if that happened. Seeing as there are no laws yet on driverless cars, people can basically do what they want with them. It would be anarchy.
"Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakes know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." This is very true. If driverless cars become a thing, the driver would become less alert. So if the car malfunctions and you have to take the wheel suddenly, the driver may not know what to do. If driverless cars are implemented, will driving lessons become obsolete?
As of right now, driving classes are mandatory for anyone who wants to drive or at least own a car. You need a license, but you may not need one anymore thanks to driverless cars! The driver will esentially become another passenger. You enter your destination and off you go! Will there be any sort of "new license" in the future that will let people know if you are able to buy and "operate" a driverless car? I don't know. That wasn't even discussed in this article.
In conclusion, driverless cars are too much of a risk when it comes to safety. No, I do not think we should have driverless cars. In the future I may be able to be persuaded from my current position, but I would need substancial proof to indicate both the safeties of the cars
and the dangers of the cars. If the amount of safety the car has outnumbers the amoutn of
dangers the car has, then maybe my opinon might sway in a different direction. For now however, I am sticking with my above statement. | 4 |
If driverless cars use less gas, polute less, and do not crash, I'm sure everyone would love to have them. The problem is that they might crash. Companies may state that their car will not crash, but people are reluctant to believe them.
If a car is 90% comupter driven, the only thing it is saving is stress the driver might build up while driving. The driver still has to be aware if their surroundings and still might have to take control. If the car was 100% coputer driven, I think more people would want one. If it was only computer driven, people could be more productive in the car. They could maybe get some work done or make important phone calls. Human error is always possible, but so is computer error. If money wasn't a factor, we'd already have smarter cars or smarter roads.
The only people who will want to be able to drive their car are people who don't trust the car, or peopole who want to speed and drift. If the cars were computer driven, they probably would go over the speed limit, unless a little computer error happens. If a computer driven car crashes, people will lean further away form the idea. I support the fact that they are trying to make them driverless. I would only trust them if they are proven to do little to no crashes. | 2 |
Why should you join the Seagoing Cowboys program? The Seagoing Cowboys program was hired to take care of horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas after World War II. The Seagoing Cowboys were hired by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, or the UNNRRA. This administration helps countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more. The UNNRRA was put together to help people. You should help these people, too. Join the Seagoing Cowboys.
If you like going on adventurous trips, this is the job for you! You get to take care of horses, ride on a boat, and feed the horses as well. You also get to see many place like Europe, China, and Italy. Excavate castles in Crete, and marvel at the Panama Canal on your way to China. Sail across the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Also, you get to do remarkable activities on the ship such as volleyball, baseball, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and have table-tennis tournament! Being on the sparkling, light-blue seas will be loads of fun!
You'll be absolutely altruistic by helping other people and animals! Becoming part of the Seagoing Cowboys program will change your life. Take care of precious horses, see astonishing sights, and play wonderous games! Joing this program could open up the world to you. It'll make you more aware of people, other countries, and their needs. You'll be exuberant when you join. Have fun on the high seas! | 2 |
Don't you ever think of joining the Seagoing Cowboys? Well you should consider it. Everyone should join the Seagoing Cowboys because it's a great idea. I think you can learn so much stuff and have a wonderful time.
Joining the Seagoing Cowboys can be a terrific idea because you will have adventurous lives and so much fun! Luke had said" The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy," He says." Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special," he says." So was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water."You will travel a lot and see so many places. You could also try new thing like the food. Their are so much cultures, and you will get to see many more you may also try and wear the clothes they wear, and do stuff like they are used to doing.
If you join the Seagoing Cowboys it will be educational and you will end up finding yourself having a wonderful time. You will be looking forward to joining the Seagoing Cowboys, you won't even notice that the time flies by quickly. You may learn many stuff because you will be traveling to so many places, you won't even have to worry about gettiing lost because your team members will accompany you and, you'll even get supplies, if you need help they will help you they are really nice people and you don't need to have a worry.
Reuniting with the Seagoing Cowboys could be wonderful, you will have a great and adventurous trip. If you join the Seagoing Cowboys you won't even realize that the time flies by because of the wonderful time you'll be having. I think everyone should join the Seagoing Cowboys because it will be educational and you will help many people that need help and meet many people because, of the World War II and you will be able to experience outdoor natures that way you are not stuck inside the house playing video games or watching TV
and instead help those that are in need. What places would you visit if you wnet to China? | 2 |
In my opinion, I think the author is right because if you do not get out of your comfort zone then when will you experience something fun and cool. Never right exactly if you want to do it then do it and don not let anyone stop you from reaching your dreams. What you think of yourself is better then what others think of you. Be you and if you want to try something new like studying Venus because if its a worthy persuit it can be good for you because you may learn new things you have never been able to learn. What if one day they send you into space or Venus to check out you can not be scared because there are times when you get scared and that messes all your plans up and you back out. That can be good and bad, it can be good when you know you will be doing something bad but it can be bad because you will not learn from your mistake. Do not regret things learn from them and thats how you move on in life. LIke the author said in paragraph 8 "Striving to meet the challenge" honestly if you want to become something you have to take the chance and not let anything or anyone slow you do. If you are happy with yourself and what you are going to do be confident and believe in your self ALWAYS. Strive for what you want and if one day you decide you want to go into space and go see Venus then do it because nothing is impossible you are able to do it like anyone else can. Be true to yourself and do what you want. | 0 |
I do not completely agree on the driverless car.
I think tectnology has become to big of a part in life.
We should not have to rely on tectnology for eveything.
People are becomeing to depend on tectnology whats going to happen if one day it falls?
If we have driverless cars and something happen? No matter how safe they seem are you really willing to put your life in the hands of tectnology, they might say it is perfectly save but what happens when the car melfuntions and you get into a crash?
If we keep so hevaly relying on tectnology for everthing we do we will never learn.
In the future if all these cars are driving themself and it goes out one day kids that grow up without learning how to drive because they relyed so heavly on tectnolony can not get anywhere.
I think people should stop being so lazy and forget about tectnolony for a while and start to do things on there own.
Kids that are growning up in a air like today will never learn how to surive without tectnolonly and for the most part that is really sad.
I think tectnology in grenaly is becoming more and more over powering in the world today.
Some may see that as a wonderful thing we are smart and can experiance things, but when can we lurn to start doing stuff by hand and taking control of our own lives.
If something were to hand to the driverless cars what would people do?
Are people just to sit in their houses because they can not drive themself anywhere because they forgot or may do not even know how?
I think we should not make these car or not give them to anyone.
We need to have people learing how to drive.
I remember when I was younger I could not wait to drive a car by myself, is tectnolony going to take away some of the biggest moments in a teens life?
If everything were to fall one day we need to be able to be independ and be able to live on our own and take car of our self.
We do not need cars that can drive themself we need people behind the wheel.
People will always be smarting then a mashen.
We have coment sence and can think about how to get out of sisutations as for car they do not if something were to happen cars can not think like people. I will alway feel safer with a human behind the wheel. | 2 |
In this article the author is talking about going to Venus. The author explains the reasons why we should explore this planet. The author mentions that they should study Venus despite the danger it presents. Venus is the closest planet from the Earth in terms of density, size, and occasionally in distance too. Is Venus so inhospitable, why do scientist want to learn more of this planet? Venus has been proven a very challenging place to examine more closely.Why is it so important to visit Venus? What are the risks of going to Venus? What would the conditions be to go to Venus?
Venus is the second planet from our sun. Not even a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decade. Each previous mission was unmanned, no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Studyng Venus is a challenge to humans. Venus atmosphere is almost 97 percent carbon dioxide. Of any planet from our solar system Venus has the hotterst surface. Astronomers believe that Venus once was like Earth. In tis article it it mentioned that long ago Venus used to be covered lagerly by oceans and problaby had many forms of life. Venus still have certain characteristics that relate to the Earth like valleys, mountains, craters, and rocky sediments. Returning to Venus is indisputable, scientists and astronomers are trying to figure out the ways to make this mission safe and scientifically productive? The NASA has an idea to sending humans to study Venus. This idea would allow them to float above the fray, temperatures would still be at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit. However researchers cannot take samples of any kind from a distance. Nasa researchers are working on safer ways to study Venus. Reseachers are thinking in using old technology called mechanical computers. But why not use modern computers and more advanced technology?
Well modern technology is tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions. This challenge is to human curiosity which will lead to equally intimidating endeavors.
In conclusion in order to visit Venus there are many dangers that could occur. But how the author suggested despite the dangers. In the article mentions many danger of visiting Venus and the ways reseachers are trying to find to visit Venus safe and to learn. Studying Venus would help humanity to discover new things.
There will be dangers in this challenge but it's worth it. The author explains why they should study Venus and give details and explains the dangers of this challenge. | 2 |
In the article the author was talking about how Venus is a planet that is so smailler to Earth the one we are living right now at this moment. But though out the article the author started to say that Venus is so smailler that who knows maybe sooner or later we could make Venus our new earth. But as he started to lay out some facts about Venus that " atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dixide. More clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid, planets surface temperatures over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure 90 times greater than our own planet."
I feel and think that if we could send a RC robots car out in Venus then we could for sure make sure if Venus caould be a stable place to make it our new earth.
So if NASA has something up there sleves then we could all be looking at the new fatuer. | 0 |
The author explains that we should study Venus and what the dangers that this may presents and if we could get past those dangers and yet surive on this planet is that, no spacecraft have a successful landing on Venus yet because of its conditions that the planet has just in its atmosphere. In paragraph 3 it exaplains all of the diffulcties trying to get a spacecraft on Venus "97% of it atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide, the planets temperature in general is over 800 degrees, and the clouds are made up of sulfuric acid."(Paragraph 3). This shows us that the dangers and how risky that this might bring to us, if we do land on this planet.
The way that they author puts this article is that if we get past all of the dangers that this planet holds is that we could find some very useful sciencetific evidence that may come important to us. And if we get past the dangers of the clouds the heat we could prove that we can overcome those coditions that many planets that may have in the future that we may study. In paragraph 4 it explains why we still want to go after this planet and discover it fetures that it may have "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may once have been the Earth-like planet in our solar system"(Paragraph 4). This explains why we want to go after this planet and how much we want to get samples from it and I think that the author really shows a good job on what the dangers are than actulaty explaining why we want to go after this planet.
Many this can come into a good way of exploring this planet more since we haven't actullay landed a spacecraft on the planet yet is that in paragraph 5 it shows prof that NASA still want to go after this planet and send humans there eventulay, "Because of the hostile conditions on the surface of Vensu that they would allow scientists to float above the fray"(Paragraph 5). This shows us that we still want to go after the planet and try to study what is going around the surface of Venus but we would still not be able to go onto the planet and collect samples from the planet that we would want to do that in the future.
I think that the author shows more on there side more of the dangers of the planet than just stating out the factor reason why we want to send humans out to that planet and get data from it, I believe that in all that the author evenly explains why we want to go after this planet and get data and why we shouldn't go after this planet, because of the dangers that it holds. | 2 |
Teachers can have a hard time telling if their students are ingaged and focused. Students can be disingaged and a teacher wouldn't know. With technology, such as teh Facial Action Coding Systm, teachers can see how their students are feeling about the classroom. They can see how they feel about the material they are learning and the work they are given.
When a teacher is trying to find a new method to use when teaching, it can be hard to see how the students feel. They could like it or hate it. Most students like to keep their emotions to themsleves. Using this technology would give the teacher the oportunity to see how their class might feel about the material or lesson that they are trying ot teach. It can also show you if a student might be confused. There emotion will change and you can tell if they aren't understanding something going on in the class.
In conclusion, his technology can change the way things are in the classroom. If a teacher can know how their students are feeling, they can improve the way they teach. If they improve the way they teach, students will be more ingaged. If studenets are more ingaged, then they are most likely to learn what is being taught and understand it. | 2 |
The "Face On Mars" is indeed just a natural landform. In the artile it says, "It is common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusal shadows."It is not an alien artifact. In the article it also says, "The caption noted a huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." The "Face On Mars" is just an illusion.
If there were aliens then youl would see them when the camera took the picture. If aliens did make it we would have evedince on that because it has taken more then one picture. How would aliens get up there anyway? Or how would they survie there is no water, food, or animals.
I explained that it says it is just a shadow and it is nothing more then a rock that looks likes a face. On earth we find rocks that look like faces but we dont say that aliens made them. Where is the proof aliens made the "Face On Mars?" We did so much work on this topic and there is no proof aliens made it. No, we dont have proof that we didnt but there is more proof that there is not than there is.
The "Face On The Mars" is just a rock made up by the planet over time. Thank you for takeing your time to read my arguement over why the "Face On The Mars" is just a natural landform. | 2 |
The author supports the idea that studying venus is a Worthy pursuit depite the dangers by saying, "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees fahernheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on own planet . Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any pkanet in our solar system, even though meercury is closer to out sun. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additonal impediments like erpting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. NASA's possible soultion to the hositle conditions on the surface of Venes would allow scientists to flot above the fry. just as out jet airplanes travle at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly gound conditions by staying up and out of their way. At thirthy-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure woud be close to tht of sae levle on Earth. solar power woukd be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Noe easy conditions, but survivable for humans. more inportantly, researcher cnnot take samples or rock,gas,or anything else, from a destance. therefore, scientists seeking to the conduct thorugh mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. | 0 |
after reading making mona lisa i came to the conclution that i agree with the new technology. this technology can be used for many things,in the story it says "to an expert, faces dont lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smileing" politician or celebrity isnt being truthful." this shows that faces can show if someone is lieing or fakeing a smile. if we had technology like that
to show if someone really isnt happy or if there fakeing that would be good to know.
the technology can read many emotions just by your smile. the author said"Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, suprize, anger, disgust,fear, and sadness." this shows that the technology can read many types of emotions. the computer can reall all of your basic emotions includinding suprise.
this computer uses your face muscles to read your emotions. " then associated each with characteristic movements of the face muscles." it uses its prior intelligence of the face muscles to read your emotions. for example it says "your frontalis pars lateralis muscle raises your eyebrows when your suprised."
so when the computer sees you do that it reads it as suprised.
i agree with this technology because we have many uses for this all around the world. | 1 |
Voting for a President is an extremly big deal and needs to be decided properly. People argue the subject that the Electoral College is unfair opposed to an election that is held by popular vote. However, I disagree. The Electoral College is a process in which the most popular vote gets decided on and goes to Congress for the aproval. Voting for a president is a big deal, especially when the decisson is sealed for four years. The Electoral College has had people question it due to its inncodent in 2000 but overall, it is the best voting option.
Many citizens believe that when they vote that is the final process, no other descissons need to be made, but they are wrong. When qualified citizens vote for a president they also help choose their state's electors. The Electoral College process includes the selection of electors, the vote between who should be President or Vice President and then sent to Congress. Many people argue that the process of the Electoral College is unfair because the electors decide, not the citizens. What people dont understand is the Electoral College are actually deciding for us and thats what makes voters "iffy."
Under the Electoral College system, voters vote for the electors that actually decide who the president will be. (Plumer, 10) The issue that gets faced to the voting citizens is they cant control whom their electors vote for. This can be an issue because of whats known as the disaster factor. (Plumer, 11). The most known disaster factor was the big election crisis of 2000. The 2000 campaign was not held very properly, infact seventeen states didnt see the canidates at all. People say that the Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational but in all actuality it is the best way to vote for who will become president. Bob Dole made the comment "Abolish the Electoral College!" but if we had just a popular vote, without Congress having a say in the decisson, the process wouldnt be as organized.
In the year 2000 the Electoral College faced a big issue with the "fairness" of the voting process. At the time Al Gore and George W. Bush were running for president but Bush won receiving 271 electoral votes and Gore 266. (Plumer, 1) This made citizens furious because they saw the Electoral College being unfair to voters. Despite that particular campaign, the Electoral College has not shown much faults. All in all the Electoral College process gets the decisons made faster and more efficenty opposed to if it was just by the overall most popular vote.
The argument of the Electoral College method of choosing their president and loosing voters is very popular. Voters knowning their vote will not have any effect, the less voters choose to participate and listen to the campaign. But in all actuality one voters vote will not swich or make the election any different, that is why we have the Electoral College. The Electors make the decison for us, taking the most popular votes and looking them over putting in their extra votes. "Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election" (Posner, 23). Despite the negative views on the Electoral College, it is actually the most organized "fair" voting process. | 3 |
I was once asked to write a letter about keeping the Electoral College or changing to election by popular vote. My Opinion is that they need to change Electoral College. The three reasons why they should keep it is because, its not fair,it dosen't waste a lot of time,the electoral votes given to each state.
To Begin with, Electoral Voting seems very easy. Electoral College consists of 538 electors. They need a majority of 270 electoral votes to elect the prsident. But their a lot of things wrong with the electoral college too. Over 60 percent of voters would perfer a direct election. And voters vote not for the president,but for the slate of electors, who select the president. The Electoral college is unfair to voters. Becasue of the winner take all system, the candidates dont spend much time in the states they know they dont have a chance of winning. This is one of the reasons why they should change Electoral college.
To Briefly Continue, The Electoral College isn't a good system to use in my opinion. But the System dosent waste a lot of time. This is probaly the only reason they still use it today. All they do is go state by state seeing the candidates group of electors votes. This process takes about 3 to 4 Hours to see what candidate won to be the president of the United States Of America. The President election is held every 4 years, on the tuesday after the first monday in November. But this is another reason why the Electoral collge system needs to be changed to popular vote.
Last But Not Least, The electoral votes given to each state sucks. Its not fair Texas gets 38 electoral but New York only gets 3. Way more people live in New york Than Texas. If they used election by popular vote everyone has the choice to pick which candidate they want to be president. And The elctoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism. Its hard for a democratic to win it. The Electors that elect for president not the people. This is another why this needs to be change.
To brieflty conclude, the system needs to be changed. its not fair to have and electoral voting system. the people dont get to vote for the candidate they want to win. These are some of the reasons why the system needs to be changed. | 2 |
The Electoral College in my opinion is the best way to elect the President of the United States. Although election by popular vote seems to be what the people want, using the Electoral College, is a better way to elect a President for many reasons.
One reason is that voters don't vote for what President they want, they vote for a slate of electors. A slate of electors is a group of electors that are biased towards a political party but understand politics more than any average person. Someone might say that election by popular vote is better because its more fair for every President in the race. This is because the slate of electors are biased towards one group, so say a republican running for President goes to a slate of electors full of democrats, there's no way he's going to win. Although election by popular vote seems to be the more fair way, the Electoral College needs to stay because it's more organized and the votes are based off of people who study politics and they aren't the average Joe's. | 1 |
Dear Florida senator,
I argue you in favor of keeping the electoral college in florida. i think it's a easier and better process than popular vote. It seems like to me it would take forever to count all the votes and add them up in all 50 states. our government counts all the votes up anyway but they count them by just it's own state. I feel like everyones voice is getting heard because it counts your vote but it's your states that votes.
The one problem I have with the electoral college is that some states are worth more votes than other states, which in my eyes is alittle unfair but it's our goverment. As florida we have 29 voter points and it's very useful to the running president that they gain our state. maybe if I was in the other states that have like 2 votes for the electoral college, then maybe I would be alittle upset and I would most likely not like the electoral college. It goes by the population of the states which makes sense because we don't want a small state choosing the president. It makes a real good point that the staes don't have the same amount of points, because if a state for example has 2,000 people and the other has 3,000 people, then the bigger population state should have the more electoral points.
If it wasnt for electoral college we wouldn't of had the great presidents we've had like for example John F. Kenndy. John lost by popular vote but won by electoral college. That is our great history and what if the electoral college saved us from a terrible president because not most of them tell the truth and are two faced. But i think electoral college is a great thing for us now and in the future.
Well thats our government and wether we like it or not their not going to change it. If it wasnt for congress and our government, America wouldn't be the same and were thankful for that. I just want to let you know senator that I like and agree with the electoral college . Keep up with all the good work Sir I know we can count on you .

Driverless cars have been in all of our minds since television and moives have put them there. Google has had driverless cars since 2009, but are they safe to be in one. While haveing a driverless car seems epic it does have some downfall to it. Driverlesss cars , or smart cars, are a bad idea because it cost a large amount of money, a driver must be on the wheel and on alert at all times, and it even has problems with the law.
Driverless cars in the late 1950s had to run on a special track. The smart-road systems worked well. It was actully a succesful test, but it would have require massive upgrades to the existing roads. The roads would be too expensive to upgrade. So instead of smart-roads they moved on to smart cars. The smart cars would need a lot of sensors to work. The senors would of course become more advance, but so well the cost.
Although the smart cars cost a large amount it also still needs a driver at the wheel. The car can handle speeds up to 25mph, but the sensors make sure the dirver hold on to the wheel. Even though it is a smart car none of the cars can go without a driver at the wheel. The car would need a driver for roads it can't navigat thourgh. Such as work zones and around accidents. The car can not navigat thourgh these places which is why it alerts the driver that the need to take control of the wheel. To improve this the manufacturers put cameras in the smart car to watch driver. They make sure that the driver is focused on the road. If there is a road the car needs help with, it would vibrate the seat to alert the driver.
Even if the car can alert the driver the law focus on on how focused the driver is. In some states it is illegal to test a computer-driven car. Such states worry the the car would cause an accident to the passengers, and pedestrians. If the traffic laws change it would still need to cover liability of the accident. So if the car fails and caused an accident would the driver or manufacturer be at fault.
So in the end driverless cars are a horribly idea. They would cost a large amount of money. As well as they are not actully driverless and needs someone to be there, and they are agist the law at some states. Driverless cars should just stay in television and moives. | 3 |
The technology would be valuable to see if a student is having trouble in the class room. To see confusion and being scared that they might not perform well. this could help teachers get to the students that really need the help. Grades would theoretically go up now that the students that had trouble are getting the help they need. There are concerns about privacy to a computer tracking and watching you the moment you get on.
The technology would greatly impact teachers and students because now teachers now have a way to see how students are doing. Teachers could watch on their computers and when a icon comes up on a certain student that. They are showing signs of distress or confussion she or he could go over there and help them. Like said earlier grades of students would go up if they got the help they needed. The computer system says it watches for facial muscle movements and twitching and others like if the person is blinking a lot. Would set off signs that the computer measures and calculates how and what you are feeling. Also worry about privacy of students and teachers a machine watching you the moment you get on. That keeps a record of how long you were on and what you were doing of course most computers already do that. Maybe if it goes outside a certain range of school the software will stop but the computer can still be used.
The software like this one could help teachers help educate children to be the best they can. By going to the source of their problems seeing exactly the problem their having trouble with. There are positives and negatives like there is to everything but this could really help and boost kids to excel to their bests. | 2 |
Other people should get into the Seagoing program because they could help people that need to be helped. The text says," To help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to form the UNRRA." The text also states,"UNRRA hired Seagoing Cowboys to take care of horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas." People should join the UNRRA so that they could help people out. Like a lot of people say, put other's needs before your own.
A lot of people should get into the Seagoing program so they can go places they wanted to go. The text states,"besides helping people, I had a side benefit of seeing Europe and China." The article also states,"Luke also toured the excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China." Those are also a good thing about the program. People could go places they have never been to before.
You should join the Seagoing program because you could see things you have never seen before. The article says,"but being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke." The text also states,"it made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs." Being a seagoing cowboy can be very exciting. People should join if they want to help other people.
Being a seagoing cowboy could be dangerous, but if you have the right skills and luck it won't be dangerous. The text says,"helping out on his aunt Katie's farm as a boy had prepared Luke for hard work, but not for the dangers of the sea." The article states,"a small strip of metal along the edge stoped his slide, keeping him from flying overboard into the dark Atlantic." That last piece of evidence is pure luck. That is why you should prepare for the dangers.
The main part of being a seagoing cowboy is to help people, not hurt them. If you hurt them that means you didn't care about others and you didn't want to help them. It is good for everyone that got into the Seagoing program and care for others that are hurt. People should get into the Seagoing program to stop violence. Violence does nothing good for anyone. Violence only makes things a lot worse. | 3 |
The advantages of not using a car are less polution, less laziness, and less gasoline usage. The less gasoline usage would help our society pay less for when we use our cars, the less lazy we get, we can have a smaller overweight citizen count in the U.S.A, and the less polution we have, we can make the world look better.
The first advantage I spoke about was less polution. the less polution we have les more wildlife we could be getting. Also think about all the wildlife we are killing with the polution from our cars. If we can all take one day in our community to leave our cars at home, Im sure the wildlife will be able to live another day without suffocating on poisoness fumes from gasoline or oil.
The second advantage would be people getting less lazy. If we all didnt use our cars for just one day we could all be a little bit of a less fat country. If every American took one day to NOT ride a car we could be in a little better shape.
Finally, We would use a lot less gasoline if we stoped using cars for a day. We could save a butt-load of money if we didnt use cars for a day. Think about how much money you spend, just to drive somewhere you are just going to spend more money! OR you could walk. Save gas, money, and get a workout at the same time. Also think about the tourists. What if we didnt buy gas so much, the price went down to 90 cents a gallon. Then the tourists would get to save money and still get through to where they need to go.
In Conclusion, Less polution, Less Laziness, and Less Gasoline usage are all the advantages of not driving for a day or two. What would your advantages be? | 2 |
Luke was working when his friend Don Reist said if he wanted to go europe on a cattle boat. Luke said it was an opportunity of a lifetime. So he didnt give up the chance to go with him. The reasons you should go is that you can see new places that you have most likely never seen before or have never visited before. You will have an experience of how to take care horses,young cows,and mules that would be shipped from place to place.
But along the way you'll find out what it feels like to take care these animals like as if you were on a farm because these are animals that would be on a farm. Besides you could try new food that you could have never tried in your life. You could have a chance to meet new people. Also while in that place you could experience what their culture is and also what they do in that culture. The only places you would go to though would be italy,china,new orleans,and greece.
So on your way these are the places you could explore and visit for a while. So these are the reasons I think you should take the chance to become a seagoing cowboy if you ever got the opportunity to become one. | 1 |
The claim for the value of using this technology to read students emotional expressions are amazing, and could benefit a low risk of suicide and bullying of other students or people. The technology could keep peoples mind focused and maybe make them more open minded. Like if you were sad and the computer detected that then the computer might pop up a game or video hat could make you feel differently.
The computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face. All 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. The muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful. According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even produce them.
The conclusion to this statement is that new technology could be a good thing doing through the decades of the universe. Mostly because some people dont know how to show their emotions, or hide them from their friends and family and could really be feeling self vulnerable or have a very low self esteem of themselves. | 1 |
We shouldnt Have smart cars because it dandreous. the car makes you drive when your in a work zone. the have find a differnt insurance for the driverless car. the are trying to put camras in you care to see how well the care. that talking a your privacy. you wouldnt know who fault it was if the car or person was to get in a accident because you lie. The car only goes up to 25mph, so it would be able to get on the high way. You would to ask your self wopuld the car be great for months or years? would you put your family in this car? They would have change traffic laws. Who is at fault if someone is injured the driver or manufacturer. If the tecnology fails for liability. Iam against smart and think they shoud not be use bcuas ethe are not safe for a human to use | 1 |
I think that the use of the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is extremely valuable. The reason why the use of this technology would be very valuable is becuase,imagine a computer that knows when your're happy or sad. For example , if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen .a simliar ad might follow. But of you frown, the next ad will be different.
First, She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. No that's not your science teacher, grading your latest lad assignment. It's the subject of leonardo da vinci's renaissance painting, Mona Lisa- at least according to some newsoftware that can recognize emotions. Imagine if "A classroom could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. uang predicts. " then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." The same technology can make computer- animated facs more expressive-for video games or video surgery.
Second,"Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang. "So computers need to understand that, too." Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile. But we can write down some simple instructions that "encode" different emotions. Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facialc muscles.
Third, "The facial expression for each emotion are universal," observes Dr. Huang, " even though individuals often show varying degrees of expressions"(like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagery, the new emotion - recognition software tracks theese facial movements- ina real face or on the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting the different units, the software can even identitfy mixed emotions(as in da Vinci's master piece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion).
In conlusion, the use of this technology is very, no extremely important in shcools because it can give the teachers and the principles and idea how to get the students to learn better on what is being taught. The technology can also give the teachers and idea of who is bored or tired, or even who is having a bad, or fantastic day. | 1 |
I think that driverless cars are a great idea. The computer will help with all the human error. Humans tend to cause a lot of problems on the road. There shpuld be a safety precaution incase the car can't manuver through a work zone or anthing harzordus. This driverless car will minimize accidents and speeding.
These cars will help so much with human errors. The cars should have something for kids in it to keep them quite. So there would be no fussing while the parent is trying to relax. While the care is doing the work the parent she be able to sit back and enjoy the ride. In the passage the author said something about the car signaling when the driver needs to take control. There always should be someone who knows how to drive behind the wheel at all times. The car should know when there are harzardous threats apporching it.
In conclusion, a driverless car would be a grat thing in this world. This car would minimize accidents and being pulled over. The car would be the first of its generation. | 1 |
Driverless cars should not be legal. Driverless cars may have some benefits, but there are far more flaws then there are benefits. Driverless cars are not even fully controlled automatically on thier own. Liability for any injuries is a question that needs to be adressed. Does the company or the customer take responsibily for any injuries that may occur while driving the car?
Driverless cars have very few benefits. One being they drive on their own. Another being they have a system that alerts you when you are in danger. Although these functions are quite amazing, there are some flaws to the system. The driverless cars are not fully able to driver on their own. They may require you to take over driving if put in a certain situation. Some examples of this sitituation are, if the car has to move around an accident, if the car is going through a construction zone, or if the car is going into a changed area where the GPS in the car is not up to date on. Also the car has a system that alerts you when you are in danger. This requires you to be awke and aware just incase this alert comes on. What is the point of having a driverless car if you all your doing is waiting till the car asks you to take over driving?
A extremely thought about issue is liablilty. Who is the one to take responsibily if something goes wrong and an injuty occurs? For this car to become completely legal there would have to be a law passed to show who would take responsible in a certain sitiuain if anyone was injured.
Also if you think deep you are putting your life in the hands of some metal and wired object that moves on four wheels. There are so many problems that occur with cars that you have to operate on your own, and now they want to make a car that drives it self legal.
Driverless cars should not be legal because there are many saftey issues that need to be addresed, and also many laws that need to be made. In order for this car to become legal, it is asking for a lot just for something as a little as a not fully autommactic drving car. | 2 |
Using this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. Sometimes students wont ask for help because they don't want people to think they are dumb. There also is just to many students for a teacher to notice when a student does not understand something or is bored. Therefore having this technology in classrooms would be good and helpful for the teachers and students.
Students alot of times wont ask for help, but with this technology teachers will be able to know when a student does not understand the lesson. It says in the article that " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," this would be helpful so when a student is bored or confused the teacher can help the sudent. "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," this technology could help teachers help there students. Alot of times people do not say how their feeling and wont say that they do not understand, so they just struggle with this technology that wont have to happen anymore.
When someone is upset, angery, confused, bored, or sad this technology can read their emotions and facial expressions. This would really improve teaching because it can tell when someone does not understand the lesson. It would help alot in classrooms. This technology would be very valuable in classrooms. | 2 |
Have you ever wondered what the electoral college is? If you answered no I would say me to, but in this essay im going to explain why i am for it. I havent heard of the electoral college till now. So sit back and read this.
I think that we should do the electoral college, so everyone has a say on who they want to be the state senate. Under the college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. While others might say no we need to get rid of the electoral college, because the senate might be bribing the voters, so he knows that he/she has their vote for sure.
This is where it gets tricky. Alot of people might disagree with you because you have a different point of view than them, but it is ok if you disagree with them, because its your vote that counts. This might be what they say "It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational". The biggest arguments are, because people say that one of the runners in the campaign did something they wasn't suppose to do.
At the most basic level, The elctoral college is unfair to voters. That is probaly something you would say if you was against the electoral college. It's ok to go for what you believe in. You might get judged but who cares it's your opinion don't listen to them.
I personally think that we should keep it. The Electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner. It's the electors that elect the president not the people. When your voting for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee. it's nearly impossible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. Believe it or not its has happened very rarely. It happened in 2000, when Gore had more votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes, but that's the first time since 1988.
There is 5 reasons for retaining the electoral college despute its lack of democratic pedigree. It may have ripped some people off, but at least we got people as good presidents. You may not like them, but they have helped us over the years that we were in debt and need. Like right now the president's wife is helping the obese kids at school by putting in whole grains and healthier foods. Those are good reasons, but not as good as these.
Certainty of out come.
The reason is that winning candidate's share of the electoral college invariably exceeds more than enough. Because almost all the states award electoral votes on a winner take all basis, even a vey slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state. A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible. But the stakes are highly unlikely to happen.
Everyone's President
The electoral college requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. There is region that has enough electoral votes to elect a president. some people has no incentive to campaign heavily in the states that they are regionally favorited, becuse they will not gain any electoral votes by increasing their plurality.
Swing States
The winner take all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates. Voters in the toss up states are more likely to pay more attention to the campaign. So they know that they are going to know that they are deciding the election. They are also likely to be the most thoughtful voters.
Big States
The elctoral college restores somke of the weight in the political balance that large sates lose by virtue of the mal-appointment of the senate decreed in the constitution. The most popular vote in 2012 was by the state of Florida. Obama won that election with only 29 electoral votes. Bigger states get more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a smaller state does.
Avoid Run Off Elections
The electoral college avoids the problem of elections in which the candidate recieves a majority of the votes by the cast. When neither of the candidates recieve majority vote it becomes more intense, because they start trying their hardest so they can win the election. Well there is the five reasons.
It can be argued but only one will be victorious. Will we keep the electoral vote? Or will we get rid of it? So if i persuaded you to keep it pick, then keep if i didnt, then pick get rid of it. Which one will you choose. | 2 |
Should we have electoral collage or not? We should have electoral collage because, it is easier to elect a president then having to go through a process of sending in votes by hand. It is better to send votes by computer because all you have to do is click a button and the the vote is sent to the elector.
Under the 23rd admendment of the constitution 3 elctors were allocated in the district of columbia. The electors are to be treated like a state for a purpose. As stated in (what is the electoral collage)'' the word state also refers to the district of columbia. Therefore the electoral collage selectes each candidate runnig for president. Also each state has its own personal group of electors. The political party is candidates who chose the electors.
The electoral collage starts every for years to selecte a new president. Every first tuesday in november people help choose state electors when voting for the new president. People sometimes dont get that you are not actually voting for the president you are voting for the candidates electors.
Once the president is elected the govenor prepares a ''certificate of ascertainment. Once that happens the listing of all the candidates who ran for president in a state and their names respective electors. | 0 |
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys because you could go places like europe,china,greece. You could have fun and explore places also it's not hard work all you have to do is clean and feed the animals. Luke liked the Seagoing Cowboys because he could travel places he could have not gone to before he liked being on the boat. He had fun when the unloaded the animals with the rest of people on the ship he played tennis, ping pong in the animals housing. They played diffrent kinds of games that passed time but it was kinda hard working there because if it was raining hard and you had to feed the animals you would still go outside and feed them. Luke hurt himself doing that he fell when the boat was shaking and cracked his ribs but he could still walk but he had to take a brake from doing any work. There's also another reason you should join the Seagoing Cowboys you could have a chance to work as a team with other people and aboard the ship with your friend or family member or cousin. There is my point of view why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys. | 1 |
I am against the value of using the Facial Action Coding System because some people may try to hide a feeling like be upset or sad because they don't know how to tell someone why and how they feel. Just because they are hiding what they feel doesn't mean that someone can take new technology and found out what their feeling, because if they wanted people to know how they felt they would.
On the other hand if you use the technlogy you could change a lesson if a student was becoming bored or confused to help them do better in school. This technology could help more students pass classes so they can graduate. But some may not like the thought of someone being able to look at a computer and finding out what they are feeling.
They need to respect what people feel and not try to figure what is wrong because they didn't want to tell. If they found out they person may get upset and by confused at what happened. Using this could cause people to be disapointed in what people are feeling. This could cause people to get angry at others. Just because the technology exists doesn't mean that you have to use it.
I believe that the Facial Action Coding Stsyem shouldn't be use. This is because people may not want others to know want they feel, if they did they would tell them. But if they just told they wouldn't need the Facial Action Coding System. Some students may be struggling with things and may talk but what they are feeling but if they are confused they could just ask for help. Just because students dont show their feelings doesn't mean that they won't when they are ready. You should let people express their feelings at their own time not by using technology that could tell what someone is feeling. Using this technology would cause to be frustrated even more because they can't tell people what they feel on their own because the technology would tell people ins't and not when the person is ready to tell people what they feel. | 2 |
The author suggestment of study Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because it is most earthling-like planet than any other planet in the solar system, also we have perfect eqiupment for humans to survive a great travel in the planet of Venus.
The reason that they want to study Venus is because it is the most Earth type than any other planet. In the text, " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. long ago, Venus was probably covered just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and crters"( 4 paragraph The Challenge of Exploring Venus)
The other reason that they want to study Venus and not knowlegding the dangers because we humans can still survive the climent with good eqiupment. In the text it says " NASA's possible solution to float above the fray. imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes to travel at a higher altitude to fly over many stroms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground condition by staying up ande out of their way. At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures wolud still be toasty at aqround 170 degrees Faqhrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans" (4 paragraph The Challenges of Exploring Venus). This mean that their is a possible to survive Venus.
In this evidencem, this declare that Venus is very challenging to study from it but, their is always a way to figure out to how to get close to Venus and we are almost close to revealing what Venus could be our second planet of Earth. | 2 |
Have you ever thought about what it would be like if there were less cars used for transportation? Driving cars emit green house gases that effect the atmosposhere.
if there were less cars driving on the road then it could help alot of people. It could help people that are over wieght or obese because if they walked or jogged to the places they need to go then they could live a healthy life and they could lose wieght. and if people did this then there would be a whole lot of less pollution in the air. I think that if people walked instead of cars they would be happier and healthier.
if people didnt use cars as thier way of tranportation then there would be less pollution in the air that can make people sick, and there would be dangerous gases that cars emit. If americans cut down on driving then every place that cut down would be a better living environment, and every body would be happier because they dont have to worry about drunk drivers or people cutting them off on the intersection, and people all most causing wrecks becuase people would be walkin, jogging, and riding bikes, or anyother way of transport.
overall if everybody started walking or jogging, and riding bikes instead of driving then it would help the air we breathe, it would cut down on car accidents, it would help with people who are overwieght and need excercise, cutting down on driving could help with alot of global problems happening in the world today. So next time you go to start your car, maybe just walk there or ride your bike. | 2 |
Luke thought he couldn't give up this opportunity of going to the Europe on a cattle boat. It was only a opportunity of a lifetime but Luke couldn't say no. The story is kind of telling us if there's a only one lifetime opportunity then take it because it could go away and the chances of getting to go is probably in a couple of years or one year. Luke couldn't give it up, it was special to go. Luke wanted to go was because he knew it probably once in awhile and that his mom or dad or family member couldn't afford him to go to the Europe on a cattleboat. Luke instead went with his friend, Don, because it was nice of Don to let him come with him. That was so nice to Don. Not a lot of people is that nice to their friends, in fact a lot of friends are a lot mean to their best friends instead of caring for them. I know this because, " He knew it was an opportunity of a life time."
Joining the program is very good news because not a lot of people gets to join the prgram because of A, they have a lot of things to do, or B, they can't afford anything. Luke probably thought it'll be interesting to go join the program they have. Joining the program is like helping out something, maybe helping animals, nature, the Earth, and the environment. To join the program I think it's going to be like doing hard work and helping with a lot of stuff and of coarse helping with other people with their work. Also the thing is that you got to be a hard worker to join the program other wise you probably couldn't get the thing.
Of course the reasons Luke joined in was probably because he wanted to help even though it was kind of challenging but Luke knew he had it in him. I know this because in the text it states, "But he couldn't work for a couple of days because of cracked ribs." It's like telling us that Luke didn't know this was hard. Luke posibly thought it'll be easy for him to do. But it sucks to have a few cracked ribs and not going back to the job he had. In the text it states, " Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time. Also I know, " To help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to form UNRRA (the Untited Nations Relief and Rehabililation Administartion)."
Luke is or maybe a hard worker when it comes to things that includes hard things in a job. Luke knows what to do since it's like his job to do what he was asked to do right. Luke was strong about when he cracked his bones. He gotten more stronger. Luke went back to his job and did it more better. Luke is probably a nice man then anyone else there in the group. Luke deserves much better than this what happened to him on the job he was doing. In the text it states, "Caring for the animals during the crossings kept Luke busy." Also I know, " By the time he was discharged in 1947, Luke has made nine trips the most of any Seagoing Cowboy."
Luke liked being the Seagoing Cowboy and he thought it was an amazing adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the worled for him. He is grateful of the whole thing. In the text it states, " 'I'm grateful for the opportunity,' he says." Luke thought it was very aware to other people and thathe could do this whole Seagoing Cowboy thing and be very cool about it. Luke had more fun because it helped the people in other countries in need like he possibly did at first. Luke thought this was awareness stayed with him. I know this because, " And that awarreness stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and echange visitors for many years. In the text it states, "Helping out on his aunt Katie's farm as a boy had prepared Luke for hard work, but not for the dangers at sea." | 0 |
Thre has been no spacecraft to ever land there more than a couple hours. That means it would be immpossible for any human or any living thing to even enter its thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets. This explains why the author is explaining why the pursuit is dangerous, A long time ago the autor stes that Venus probaly had a ocean like earth and many other forms of life as well, and Just because it can be really dangerous to try to even visit Venus that does not mean we will not try.
The author suggests that studdying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite dangers it presents and it could be immpossible. The author states that "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet" (para.3). This explains the accertion because it would kill us as soon as we enterted in the atmosphere. So that would mean that it would be very dangerous to pursuit Venus.
A long time ago Venus was just like Earth. The autor states that "Long ago, Venus was probaly covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth" (Para 4). This explains that Earth wasjust like Earth a long time ago because it was covered largely with oceans. Another reason it was just like Earth was it could have supported many other forms of life as well.
Just because it's really dangerous to pursuit Venus that doesn't mean we are going to stop trying to send people to Venus. The National Aeroand Space Administration (NASA) has stated that NASA has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape" (para 5). NASA explained that it would be really dangerous to pursuit Venusbut they have ways around it. They said they would go 30 miles above the surface so they would not harm the people.
The author states that it would be dangerous or impossible. But that does not mean we won't have some brave people that are willing to try. NASA is working on a plan that could make this pursuit possible. | 2 |
In my opinion limiting the usage of cars would be great. Some people use there viechles for the stupidest reasons when they could walk or even ride a bike. It would be better for our enviorment and even people. some advantageas of limting car usage would be cleaner air and people would get excercise.
Alright we'll who wants to be in town and smell the nasty fumes of a car? Not me i would love to smell the fresh air. When you limit the usage of cars this could happen not only would you hvae clean air but the people around you would be satified with the results. According to the article"Car free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" they claim "Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." With this being said happier people may give people a chance to get job or even have a better enviorment to be around.
In addition people could get excersise from limiting car usage. when people get excersise it means the obiesity levels can go down and make the place better for everyone. also from people having an activity they dint have ti sit on there butt anymore. They can actualy get up and attemp to find a job to benifit their family and the community.
In conclusion people can benifit from this no car usage rule from having cleaner and get exersise. those all play a factor in each other. | 2 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new use of technology called Facial Action Coding System (FACS), tells what emotions your using my theory of the FACS Is that It will work, but It's not telling the truth.
My theory Is that they are wasting all their time and money, and the FACS is not telling the truth the reason beaging Is you can never have a computer tell you your own emotions, also " If It Is some how ture about your emotions than you just got luckey for It to work but that's the only time It will work".
Another reason Is the time and money, who In their right mind would spend all there family time, and most of their hard earnd money on something that wouldn't work. To me I would rather sit at home whrn I'm done working and spend time with my family, and I wouldn't speed a penny on that sofeware that Is not granted to work.
Third of all what Is the stictist there Is none In the reading that I read so, judt why not get something up and running and, not put any stictist It Is dumb on their part.
In conclusion there Is nobody that Is going to change my mind about this soft wear working If It does then I'll chang my argument about It untill then It's not going to work, and that my opiotion. | 1 |
I do not see how you would think that it would be created by aliens I mean we have rocks, hills, and mountains. So there really is not different sure it may be weird that there is a structure on a planet that looks like a face. But we have weird structures that look like crosses and or objects. If you think it is made by aliens than I guess almost the whole earth is made by aliens. It's an object that is on a planet in our solar system.
For all we know there could be water and all sorts of things on Mars. There could be a whole nother life form on that planet. If so are you going to say they are aliens too. They may lok at us and say that we're aliens because they have never saw us before. For all we know that could have been a mound that people or animals lived in.
If you look carefully at the picture it looks like there are more than just that one mound. So there very well could be a whole nother life form we will never know. My opinion they're could be people on Mars. I mean there was another planet that a while back that we found out had some type of water type substance on it. So I think there are people on Mars.
Because if we can live on a planet that means there must be another one somewhere. Earth cannot be the only planet with water, trees, grass, sand, dirt, humans, and animals. This means we should look farther into this and maybe we wll find out if there really is any other life form. It very well could be an odd shaped mound or it could be a home. Think of it this way we have weird looking houses, hills, trees, and clouds.
So why don't you think that there is life on Mars. If we saw any weird looking space crafts or any type of alien equipment we would have let you know. So if you think that it is an alien creation explain why it would look like that. If I was to show you a odd shaped rock would you say it was created by aliens. So just think to yourself "is this thing really made by aliens or am I just over thinking things".
After you think about that does it really seem like it's created by aliens. But out of all seriousness there is no way that its made by aliens. The thing about it being made by aliens is why would they make it a human face on Mars. Don't you think that if they were trying to say something they would put it on the moon or something. I mean just think logically if they were wanting us to see something they would put it closer.
This is just an object on a planet. There are many objects on many different planets and I do not think they're made by aliens. If they were like I said they would be closer to us. But they are not close enough. Have you ever heard about the man in the moon.
So you are going to try and tell me that the man in the moon is an alien creation. No it is just a natural landform, nothing any different than what we have on earth. the moon has craters from asteroids, are the asteroids from aliens no they are just boulders that fall out of orbit. For all we know it could have been hit by multiple asteroids. | 2 |
The Face Action Coding System would be great for classrooms because it would also help the teachers alot becuase as soon as you walk in the room it would let the teacher know if you are mad, sad, happy,etc. As Dr. Huang said "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression" watching tv that can change your emtions. so imagine that you had a bad day at school and you are just getting out an you are mad about something that happen at school an you want stop being mad, just watch tv that sometimes helps people alot. Then when you turn on the tv use the Facial action coding system.
People sometimes dont know what mood there in at school, some people love coming to school, some hate it, but some people dont like to be bothered. Alot of people like to stay to themselves at school, so maybe using the FACS would make thhat student angry, when probably that person was in a happy mood so it works both ways if you ask me but i really do think the FACS would be good for class rooms. | 1 |
Driverless cars are very efficient and should be allowed. I think driverless cars should be allowed because of less accidents, more safety and better driving. That is why driverless cars should be developed.
The first reason to as why driverless cars should be developed is to prevent less accidents. In the article the text talks about how sensors became more advanced since the 1980s. Evidence from the article states "Within 10 years, those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger out-of-control skids or rollovers." If humans responded as fast as a computer could then we would not need to develop driverless cars, but we need them to prevent crashes, skids and rollovers.
Now, my second reason is to be more safe. If we develop more driverless cars with computer engineered scanners, radars and sensors there would be no hit and runs, vehicular manslaughter or roadkill. Humans cannot stop as fast as computers do, therefor with the driverless car people would stop running red lights, speeding through neighborhoods hitting children playing and the elderly can cross safe and sound. A computer would also stop you from bumping into stuff , in paragraph 7 the text claims "GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object." That is my second reason why it is more safe to have driverless cars.
The last reason why to prove driverless cars need to be developed is better driving. The driverless car would be a good asset to have drive on a highway or expressway, the sensors and computer interact to prevent accidents on the highway. "Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automative radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and a inertial motion sensor." The whole bang for your buck systematic vehicle will prevent traffic jams, less accidents equal less construction work and less deaths will accur, a intriuging reason to why we need driverless cars developed.
Those are just three reasons why the driverless car is needed but im pretty sure there is more. At the end of the day it is all about safety, proper manufacturing and liability. If the car has those three things why not promote its development? | 3 |
All around the world different countries have been noticing some things in life that are just better without cars or atleast less cars. With less cars things are more calming; its also better for everyone, including the enviroment.
To begin with, things can be way more calm in a life without cars. Many people happen to beleive that cars can change how you feel for example "When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way"(3). Heidrun Walter always felt tense with a car now she feels calm and relaxed. Life with less cars can be so much more relaxing without all the loud annoying noises cars make. In Vauban they are making some changes to how the people live so they can live more easy and calm. "Vauban, home to 5,500 residents within a rectangular square mile, may be the most advanced experiment in a low-car suburban life."(6). The way this civilization is all the people live close by and everything is close by so you dont really need a car. If everything is close by everything can be more fluent and calm.
In addition, it may be more calm without cars but it is also better for you and the enviroment. "passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emission in europe... and up to 50% in some car-intensive areas in the United States."(5). Wherever you are in the world greenhouse gasses will most likley affect your environment in some unnatrual way and that is not the best thing for you, the people you know, or all the plants and animals. Without cars polluting earth we would be way more healthy and many animals may not be endangered or extinct like they are today."how much you drive is as important as whether you have a hybrid."(7). If you drive less its not just better for the environment and your health it can also be better for your wallet. If you drive less you save money on gas that you can use for many other things. Overall driving less turns out to be better for everyone.
In conclusion, people driving less can make life easier and calmer, it is also better for people, plants, animals, and don't forget your wallet. | 3 |
A new software has been developed that improves accuaracy in perceiving the emotions of others. This new software has promsing applications for a variety of industries. The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because it can make learning more interesting, it's accurate, and to develop better ways for humans and computers to communicate.
Using the Facial Action Coding System in a learning environment could help make education more interesting. To make learning more interesting, a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. The same technology can make computer -animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery. Dr.Huang states,"Most human communicaton is nonverbal,including emotial communication so computers need to understand that,too."
This means that computers would need to know nonverbal communication.
Along with making learning more interesting, the Facial Action Coding System is really accurate. The FACS begins when the computer constucts a 3-D computer model of the face. All 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Dr.Paul Eckman classified six basic emotions and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. Dr.Huang even observes artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help paint facial muscles precisely
enough to convey specific emotions.
In addition of the FACS being accurate, it develops new ways for humans and computers to communicate. The FACS developed new ways to communicate in various ways. It tracks facial movements by weighing the different units. The software can identify mixed emotions. For example, if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. The use of this technology is valuable because it can make learning more interesting, it's accurate, and it develops better ways for humans and computers to communicate. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
I believe that voting for the President of the United States should be based on the present idea of the Electoral College. There are many elements that play into the reasoning for this. The Electoral College is a process developed by the makers of the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. It consists of 538 electors with each state holding a certain amout of these electors based on the population of that state. Candidates try to gain the vote of electors focusing on larger states with more electors. It was something created by the makers and founding fathers of the Constitution and something so important should not be changed.
Presidential candidates focus on gaining the majority vote of large states in order to obtain more electors. A large state such as California containing over 35 million voters should have as much of a say in electing a president as a small state like Wyoming only containing 500,000 voters. The Electoral College makes sure that the "majority" of voters doesn't decide an election and everyone has a say. The "winner takes all" system evens out the playing field for all those little states who want just as much of a say in determining a new president as a large one does. The idea of a Electoral College adds a sense of competition persuading a candidate to influence states with a high number of electoral votes making the race for interesting. Swing states are a huge deal in this process for they mainly decide the election with the ability to change an election in a heartbeat.
If a majority voting system was incorporated into the election system instead of the Electoral College the process would become much more complicated than it already is. Voters should be able to vote not just for a new president but for a slate of electors who aid in electing the president.. These electors are appointed to represent the people in choosing the candidate of their choice who they feel is best suited for the position. Many people against the Electoral College argue that the system is not acceptable because of the possibility of a tie due to the even number of electoral votes. This reasoning is highly probably and has never happened before. | 2 |
Imagine a World where the people didn't have a say in electing for a president. People would be living a life where they can't have a say in the goverment and who runs the goverment. This would be the life of millions of people if they were to remove the Electoral College. There are many reasons why it is better to keep the Electoral College because it can avoide run-off elctions, it will make certainty of outcome, and not having one region to elect a president. Having an Electoral College can change the fate of the people and all the states.
To begin with, run-offs elections can happen if there is no Electoral College, which can be a major problem if it can not be handled correctly. "For example, in 1968 Nixon and Clinton in 1992 both had only 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Electoral College." With run-off elections there is pressure when no candidate wins a majority of the vost cast, which causes a huge problem when electing the president, but with the Electoral College it reduces the complication making it easier to see the winner. Electoral College helps to provide a clear winner rather than making it difficult. It makes the run-off election process simple.
Secondly, the Electoral College makes sure that there is an outcome. "In the 2012's election, for example, Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney." This means that popular votes have some sort of outcome because it helps the electoral votes go up, but not all the time will the percents be the same. The electoral votes is what is used to decide the president.
Lastly, the Electoral College requires the runner ups to have a multi-regional appeal. This is done because no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. For example, Romney was favored by the South in which he gets his electoral votes, but he cannot only count on the South to win the election he also needs to convince the other regions. (North, East, etc.) Trying to convince the other regions is difficult, but the outcome can help change the future.
To conclude, The electoral College have a positive effect rather than negative. It can help stop the complications when there is a run-off election. Having one makes sure that there is a outcome to one side. Also, forces runner ups to have a multi-regional appeal. Keepin the Electoral college can help the United States in a positive way. | 3 |
Exploring New Places
"Studying the planets is a amazing thing," said my science teacher. When studying the planets there is a lot of information to take in. The atomposhere on Earth is very different from the atmosphere in space. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Scientists should study Venus because it has similarites to Earth, they have the idea of sending humans to Venus, and also studying the dangers of Venus can help scientists conclude their idea of what it is like there.
Venus is known as Earth's twin. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it states in paragraph 4 "Today, Venus still ahs some features that are analogous to those on Earth." This proves that Venus has some identical features to those that Earth has. It also states in paragraph 4 "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This also proves that Venus has some similar characteristics like Earth. This is how the Earth is similar to Venus and why scientist should continue to study the planet, consdering its dangers.
The idea of sending humans to Venus is a topic up for debate by many scientists. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author explains how NASA has the idea of sending humans to Venus. It states in paragraph 5 "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." This shows how scientists have come up with a way to send humans to Venus, even though no human has set foot on another planet. The author also states in paragraph 5 "Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not excceed Earth levels." This also shows how the radiation of Venus is not much different than Earth's and it would not exceed higher on Venus, so a human would be safe from radiation on Venus. Sending humans to Venus is another reason why the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursiut even though it has many dangers.
With many great exeptions of studying Venus and sending humans there, the author also shows the dangers of Venus. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author states in paragraph 3 "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." This proves that is dangerous to travel to Venus with high tempertures that would burn a human alive. The author also states in paragraph 3 "Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun." This also proves that Venus has expentionally high temperatures that no human can face. These are the dangers that the author takes into consideration when sending humans to Venus.
In conclusion, the author from "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. After evaluating the article, the author supports the idea of studing Venus. Scinetists should study Venus because it has similarities to Earth, they have the idea of sending humans to Venus, and also studying the dangers of Venus can help scientists conclude their idea of what it is like there. | 3 |
The Electoral College should be removed as a way of depicting who the President should be. The idea of the Electoral College is almost great but its just not the way the President should be elected. The popular vote is simple, and it makes the presedential campaigns almost mean something. The Electoral College is still a system that is effective, however, the United States government gets its power from the people, so the popular vote would be logical thing to use in depicting who the US President should be.
In source two it tells us that Al Gore had won more than 60 percent of the populkar vote, but still lost the presidency because of the flaws in the Electoral system. From the knowledge that I have gained through all three of these articles, it makes no logical sense that Al Gore won the popular vote with 60 percent and still lost the presidency. All of these sources include something along the lines of, "popular vote elects slate electors to choose president". And with that being said, it proves a flaw in the system we use to elect the most powerful man in the world.
Now, yes, there is a good thing or two about the Electoral College way of doing things. For instance, as stated in source three, "Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both ahd a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes." In a situation like this, it doesn't even matter what the popular vote results are becasue the College still gets their unique say in the presidency. However, if we got rid of the Electoral College it wouldn't matter if there was a tie in the popular votes because it could just be disputed in Congress, the same way it would be handled if there were to be a tie in the current Electoral College.
In conclusion, I would just like to say that the articles given did not give me enough information for me to form an educated opinion on the prompt. However, I did my best with the articles given. I would like to also say that it would be best for the nation if the Electoral College was either revised and edited, or removed completely and replaced with popular vote in determining our nation's future leaders. | 2 |
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. I think the best way to know who wins the election is by the majority votes to the candidate.
The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. The voting system should be done like specificly, because if you setup different things it's not going to work at all. It depends what kind of setups you are making. But I think it's not the good way to make voting system in setups.
Each candidate running for president in our state has his or her own of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilties are.
Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. The singal best argument against theelectoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. The American people should consider themselves lucky for the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the sysytem allows for much worse. Consider that state allows for much worse. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people.
Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the elecrtoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of the Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. Because each state casts only one vote, the singal representative from Wyoming, representating 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the representative from California. Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for Congress, the House's seletion can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people. And if an electoral tie seems unlikely, consider this: In 1968, a shift of just 41,971 votes would have occured if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way. The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe.
It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. And the arguments against direct elections are spurious at best. It's hard to say thsi, but Bob Dole was right: Abolish the electoral college!
The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. So a solid regional favorite, such as Romney was in the South, has no incentive to campaign heavily in those states, for he gains no electoral; votes by increasing his plurity in states that he knows he will win. This is a desirable resuly because a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be succesful president. The residents of the other regions are likely to fell disenfranchised-to feel that their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their interests, that he really isn't their president.
It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope for carrying their state-Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicians in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by the popular vote. But of course no voter's vote swings a national election, and in spite of that, about one-half the eligible American population did vote in election. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election.
My only suggestion is to do the votes through the majority voters to the candidate because any kind of setups are not going to work. And the people are not likely going to believe all that stuff. It's kind of hard to do that but, it will going to work. | 0 |
The Seagoing Cowboys is a great program. It pervides once in a life time chances and you get to help others as they are struggling. The Seagoing Cowboys takes about 335 horses plus enough hay hay and oats to feed them, so you will need some experience with large cattle.
While our main goal is to help others in need we also have fun while doing it. We have some time for sight seeing, and on the way back to the United States when the cattles is gone, we like to play games like basball and volleyball in the empty holds. We also like playing games like table tennis, fencing, and boxing.
I for one am very grateful that I got the opportunity, it made me more aware of people in other countries and their needs, and that awareness has stayed with me all my life. It is an excellent experience. But its not for everyone like i said earlier you should have some experience with cattle, and there is a lot of hard work involved.( Especially when your the night watchman.)
Over all its a thrilling and exiting eperience that really gets you to realize others needs. So if your a Cowboy that love adventures, and doesnt mind getting dirty and working hard, the Seagoing Cowboys program is definently for you. Come on what are you waiting for sign up today. | 2 |
Would it be a good idea for a computer to tell a students emotion by the look on their face? I think this would be a good idea in my opinon. A reason that would be a good idea is if the student is falling behind it can let the teacher know. And it can try to change the lesson so that theywill understand. Here are two reasons why it would be a great idea.
The frist reason is that during a lesson if a student does ot get what is happening the computer can notify the teacher and she can ask him whats wrong. This would benefit both of them because the student would not be behind anymore. The teacher can continue teaching knowing the student is caught up. So this would help everyone not to fall behind.
The second reason is that if a student is in a bad mood the teacher will know. Sometimes students will get a adittude towards teachers and they don't know why. If the computer can tell them that peice of information the teacher would know why. Then after the student gets over what he/she have been through the can apoligies.
In conclusion this would be a great idea that will benefit all. teachers can now help students that are struggling. And students can now not be left behind. and this will hopefully help with the teachers be aware of what a students mood is and try not to get them anymore angyer. | 2 |
Venus is a dangerous place for humans but what about tecnology. Acording to scientists venus is a dangerous place but they want to find out more about it. With venus beeing over eight hundred degrees fahrenheit and an atmosphere if almost ninety-seven percent carbon dioxide.
Scientists still want to find out more about it. They have had many space ships go up there but they could not land them. They want to make somthing that floats 30 miles above the seface of venus so that they can study the planet more. It would be onehundred and seventy degrees fahrenheit and the air pressure would be clsoe to that of sea level on earth. The ship would be powerd by solar panels and the radiation would not exceed Earth levels.
All this shows that the author supports this idea by showing that it is possible for the journy to be safe and it would get us closer to finding out more about venus. Whit the ship floating above ground it will provide little insight on the ground.conditions because most forms of light cannot penatrate the dense atmosphere. This makes standard photograghy and videograghy useless. This also means that scientist would have to get up close and personal to get rock and gas samples.
NASA is working on other ways to studing venus. This mean we might not have to take a risk to get hurt or harmed in any way. They have made something out of silicon carbide and it lassted up to three weeks in venus conditions.
The text states in paragrapgh eight that" stiving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also human curiosity will likly lead us into many equally intimidating endevoers". This shows that the authors ideas about figureing out more about venus are good ideas now we just have to figure out how to make it work. | 2 |
Cars that can drive themselves,the concept is interesting. i mean no more driving no more stress from that as in roadrage and foot cramps. It will also cut down many, Many accidents on the road no more human error but i dont like this smartercars. For one i dont have my licsence yet but i think im going to love driving. I really dont see anything wrong with it i think im going to love evereything about the experience. Like it says in the prompt movies and tv has shown carsoff since forever who doesnt like car movies. Fast and the furious series , disneys cars, almost every action movie and a whole lot more. So whats gonna happen no more of those are we going to see every action movie with a car be like knight rider know. Also cars are just great its big part of the culture.
also what happens to the workers, one of the first waves of drivers to go out is semi truckers. What are they going to do. Its already hard enough to get jobs why give some to a robot or program. Even more jobs will go out taxi drivers. I guess we just wont be pickedup by those either or a bus or a uber. Why take the jobs away, for what. Also where does it stop with so many things doing it themselves no a days where do we draw the line. self driving car from google, robotic vaccum cleaners, and more and more. I get that these things can make the road safer. I get that the toyota pruis uses many new features as the position estimating sensors on the leftrear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof and so on. Also that the lidar uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-d model of the cras surroundings. I get all that but do we really want that is it worth it. i mean we mes up were human thats what happens. Also if we dont go threw with these cars we can save the jobs keepcool movies and let people likeme and generations to come enjoy driving. So can i imagine a world where no one needs cars or buys them... i dont. | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System is an impressive creation.
It shows advancements in technology that could potentially make everyday activities much simpler.
There is a place and time when this sort of technology could be useful.
However, I feel that this technology is not for everyone.
The Facial Action Coding System is not valuable in valuable for students in a classroom, because it takes away peoples privacy, it is expensive, and students can reach out to teachers if needed.
The first reason why I think that the Facial Action Coding System is uneccessary, is that it takes away people's privacy.
We live in a world that technology controls most of our life.
Sometimes this is useful and it makes our lives much easier. However, when personal information given out on the internet gets into the hands of the wrong people, bad things happen.
The Facial Acting Coding System might make people feel uncomfotable, especially since you are giving away what you look like to the device.
Students might not want to have to be obligated to use this sort of technology, and they shouldn't have to be.
The second reason why I think that the Facial Action Coding System is uneccessary, is that it's expensive.
A lot of money goes into paying for the technology that we use in schools.
Some students get school laptops, which is essential for some of the homework that we are assigned.
Some teachers get electronic whiteboards in the classroom to further enhance the teaching that they do.
However, a Facial Action Coding System is not needed for the amount of money that would go into it.
Most highschools have a lot of classrooms, ours has three floors, and the price we'd pay to put this device in each room would not be worth it.
The final reason why I think that the Facial Action Coding System is uneccessary, is that students can reach out to their teachers if needed.
There are students who struggle with subjects they learn in school.
I happen to struggle learning socail studies since I was in fifth grade.
The biggest mistake I've made that could have lead to this, is that I did'nt reach out to my teachers.
I was getting a D in social studies in fifth grade and it came to the point where my mother made me reach out to not only my teacher, but the principal.
I sat in a room and my mother, my teacher, and the principal all discussed with me why I was going off track and they gave me a chance to improve.
I did not need a Facial Action Coding System to tell me what was going wrong.
Students just need to talk with their teacher if they confused.
The teacher should not have to modify their lesson all the time because students are becoming bored of their class.
There may be a place in time that the Facial Action Coding System is useful, like to detect if a politician isn't being truthful, as stated in the article.
However, this technology just is not fitted for a classroom, because it takes away people's privacy, it is expensive, and students can reach out to their teacher if needed.
The classroom is a place where students learn, not become subjects of distracting technology. | 3 |
Some people say that the "Face on Mars" is a natural landform. Others say it shows traces of civilzation on Mars in the past. There are many statements in the article that show evidence that the "face" is a landform, and not an actual face. I think it is a natural landform. Others say differently than I do.
There is plenty of evidence proving the "face" is a natural landform. The text states that the picture is actually a Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. A butte or mesa is a landform that is common around the American West. Garvin says, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in thr Snake River Plain of Idaho." The Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa the same height as the "Face on Mars." This evidence proves that the "Face on Mars" is just a natural landform.
As you can see, there is planty of evidence proving that the "Face on Mars" is a natural landform. After seeing this evidence, I still believe that the "face" is a natural landform. Others may still feel different, even after seeing this evidence. All we can hope is that NASA eventually figures out if it is a natural landform, or a face. | 1 |
Venus is the closet planet to earth in size and closet in distance too. Because Venus is sometimes right around the corner, so human's have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-daped world, But no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours, Numerous factors contribute to Venus reputation as a challenging Planet for humans to study. Also Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any Planet in our solar sustem, The Planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. And sometimes Venus can be our nearest option for a planetary visit. But the value of returing to Venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive well it's kinds hard to stay if a person can survive on Venus, Even though Mercury is closer to our sun. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like Planet on our Solar System. | 0 |
If professors were able to read their students emotions through their facial expressions from a computer, it would very well help the students in the long run and the teacher to make improvements. This kind of technology will help students and teachers form a better trust, help make teaching improvements, and learning improvements. A computer able to do that, will be valuable to all teachers and to those who want to better their education.
Even when someone fakes an expression, the zygomatic major and the risorius (facial muscles) will tell so. If a student were to perhaps lie after being confronted for cheating, the computer would be able to read his facial expressions and tell if it is geniune or not. With a computer reading yours and others facial expressions daily, it may help the classroom build a better trust with eachother. The computer will tell their true emotions, even when some try to hide it.
When the professor is teaching something that the students may not understand, they will be confused. Sometimes the teacher is so deep into the learning lesson, they will not realize when some students are not understanding. A computer will help by reading their facial expressions and send a message to the teacher explaining so, then they can realize they either need to slow down or go over it again. This helps the teacher understand the progress of where their students are at and how to better their teaching.
When a subject has caused students to grow bored, the computer will send a message to the teacher and he may make it more interesting, or change it up a bit. Said by Dr. Huang, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communications..".
Sometimes students will not raise their hand when they have a question or are confused to avoid making themselves look foolish for not knowing. The teacher may take in consideration from the message sent from the computer that he needs call out on those students, getting them more involved. This will help shy students better their learning possibilities.
In conclusion, technology that is able to read facial expressions and tell how that person is feeling will improve all learning schools. The technology helps build a stronger trust, since the technology makes it impossible for people to hide their emotions. It will also value students and teachers, helping improve their learning zones. | 3 |
Venus is a planet that is a sister to our planet earth and it looked like earth millions of years ago. Venus was way diffrent apart from earth because the Venus from today is hot and volcanic. Scientists are trying to study Venus so that they can learn more about the planets past and how did it turn into a super hot planet and how did its oceans dissapear. Venus is a really intersting planet that hold a lot of valuable information that scientists want to pull from the planet like how its volcanes formed and why the pressure is soo intense. Venus also has such dangerous storms and is hot at 800 degrees to the surface that made spacecraft's metals melt when they were launched from earth to Venus.
Sceintists are trying to find ways that it could be possible for Humans to to close enough to Venus. NASA is also trying to find a way to battle these harsh conditions in Venus but right now as close as they can get is above the fray in Venus but trying to look at to the ground is gonna be difficult since there are clouds blocking the view. NASA is trying to approach on new ideas so that they can land spacecraft machines to land on Venus to last up to 3 weeks while dealing with the temperature and the extreme pressure, they can collect data and send it back to NASA so they can study how the surface is made and how to find a way to battle the enviorment.
I believe that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite of the dangers because if we manage to study the entire system of Venus we can learn how to make Robots that can withstand harsh conditions and extreme pressure and we can also take more precautions when learing how to overcome these climates. Humans will become more smarter and it will also be just a matter of time before we can start sending spacecrafts to planet Neptune and also start colonizing mars. Venus can teach us a lot of things once we are able to gather information about it. The author also supports the Idea because there are ways for NASA to grow more intelligent and explore more planets. NASA is studying Venus eversince they saw it for the first time, they have been trying to study the atmosphere, the surface, whats it made of, the temperatures, and its past. | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. The article states lots of information on what the machine can do and how it does it. The Facial Action Coding System could be very helpful for not only students, but teachers too.
Everyone that has been to school knows that, not everyhing you learn will be interesting and nor will some of your teachers. By having new teachnology that could change that and make future genarations more involved in their own learning, will be life changing. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts.(6) I personaly would like a teacher that knows when I need help or when I know what Im doing. Its even better if they know when we are bored, it could change lots of students mind sets towards public education.
The FACS could help in many ways, one it could be helpful towards actors or just people that want to be more in touch with there emotions. "According to the Facial Feedback Thoery of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." (9) When you sign up for a class that you have to act in and your grade depends on it, this machine would come real handy. I was in a speech class my first semester of 10th grade. The teacher made us memorize a monolge of a movie character. We had to say word for word while showing emotions, emotions that I had never felt before. With the FACS future students could be better at that class and it can go a long way.
The Facial Action Coding System does help students in the classroom. It would be a whole new genaration of studnets if this machine went out to the schools. When students dont have to wait on real teachers to move on or help them with something they are stuck on, the makeup of theyre brain will totally change for the better. Students will be faster at thinking, solving and much more during school. | 3 |
Driverless cars. Possible or not? Either from personal transportation to public, people have been wondering; "Is it possible?" I belive that with the technology that we have today, it is very possible. It would reduce accidents massively, but it is technology. If the self driving mechanism would malfunction, that car could become a hazard to the driver and anyone around it. But it is still an interesting idea to think about, considering what everyone sees in movies.
Many companies are already trying to construct working self driving cars. For example, the first people to truely test this theory out was General Motors in the late 1950s, while nowadays companies include; Google, BMW, Tesla, Mercedes- Benz, Audi, Nissan, and GM are a few. A few issues that they have to make a fully functioning model are that it would be too expensive to truely make it functional, especially if the maufactures use magnets to run on a set track down every road. Another issue they have is that they cannot steer themselfs around accidents or construction. But with those issues aside, it would be a lot better for the enviroment, lowering exaust by about half of what it is today, and it also would lower accidents.
All in all, self steering cars are the future of our lifes today, although an expencive option, it would be worth it. Whether its smart roads, or smart cars, would be benifitial to how we deal with things now. They would lower accidents, and allow idiots to text on their phones while driving. Just look out for the stray dog on the roads, and you'll be fine. | 1 |
Do you ever wish you could just look at someone and be able to tell how they are feeling? At the Beckman Istitute for advanced Science at the University of Illinois, Prof. Thomas Huang and his colleague are created just that. they call it "Facial Action Coding System". This system could be put into computers to keep track of your emotions. Maybe even by tracking your emotions, you could be happier.
The process works by using a 3-D computer of your face; all 44 major muscles. Than is the Facial Action Coding System associates the six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and saddnesswith each movement of the facial muscles.
Most human communication is nonverbal, even through we may not relize it, we always show our emotions. The facial expression for each emotion are unviersal. Using the Facial Action Coding System, it can track humans emotion or even a painting such as the Mona Lisa.
As humans we are always feeling something, weather its anger, saddness, or happiness. I think it would be of great value to have this technology at school, and put into our computers. Not all kids can learn the same way, which means kids can not be teached in the same way. If the student is working on the computer and they do not understand the lesson. The computer could change the lesson to teach it a differnt way.
All in all, I think this kind of technology could be very useful, not only in school but for psychologist and other who study the human body. Our emotions say alot about us amd if that is how most of us communicate; we should know more about them. | 2 |
Ever since it was first invented, the automobile has proved to be very important and practical for people all over the globe. In the current century, however, the demand for the car has begun to see a potential disappearance, as people are beginning to discover that there are advantages to minimizing their dependence on their vehicles. Limiting car usage has several very influential advantages, such as increasing mental health, reducing air pollution, and eliminating problems associated with traffic.
First of all, studies have proven that the use of automobiles is linked to the levels of stress and unhappiness that people feel. Source one elaborates on this by discussing a city in Germany that decided to give up cars. It quotes a woman who says that when she had a car she was always tense, but living in Vauban (the car- free city) has made her much happier. She is able to walk or bike everywhere that she needs to be in town. This opportunity to increase happiness is also mentioned in source three, which quotes a businessman who says that limiting car usage is "a good opportunity to take away stress." The alternative he choses is to ride a tandem bike with his wife. This allows for more bonding with his wife as well as increasing their physical health, which plays a vital role in mental health as well.
As of recently, the impact that cars have on the enviroment has gained more attention as well as increased concern. All vehicles emit greenhouse gasses, which are very harmful to the enviroment, causing smog and damage to the atmosphere. According to source one, limiting the use of passenger cars could reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50 percent. Source two describes how the accumulation of smog in Paris became so bad that it caused official bans on the use of cars. It took an entire week of restricting car usage to get the smog to clear up. Source four also agrees that the results of limiting car usage would have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment. Source one mentions that as a result of all of this, the Enviromental Protection Agency in the United States is promoting car reduced communities.
Lastly, limiting car usage eliminates all problems associated with traffic. Traffic creates many problems for people, from increasing danger to wasting time. Limiting car usage would immidately reduce traffic substantially. This could prevent people from being stuck on their way home during rush-hour every day. Having cars speeding by, in residential areas especially, increases the level of danger for pedestrians. There are many casualties that happen every year due to automobile accidents. Limiting car usage would easily eliminate this problem. It would also eliminate the problem of drunk driving and the dangers associated with it. Source four supports this claim by stating that limiting car usage would in fact improve safety.
Limiting car usage has many advantages, and therefore should definately be taken into consideration. Doing this would not only increase mental health and wellbeing, but would also save time, conserve resources, lower emissions, and improve safety. | 4 |
I believe it is a neat idea to have technology that can understand human emotion. But if we continue down this path of robotic contimplation I think we may have bigger issues. The idea of having a computer always monitor your emotional states seems almost like not giving methe privacy that i deserve. So that being said it would be a neat idea but I dont think it should be incorporated at schools but maybe as a voluntary thing that people can sign up for that would be different.
It's a bad idea because it would cause drama in peoples lives who dont need to have any more of it in them. Its almost a little creepy and rude. I mean if you really weren't having a good day and a computer told you that youre upset. I'm pretty sured you'd be more upset than you were because we as human dont like to be confronted with that type of stuff. I think that if it was a voluntary thing were peoplecould go and sign up to see how they feel because god forbid they dont know their own emotions it would be a good idea. But I think its a terrible idea to be doing on peple without consent.
It's a good idea because it could help slove murder cases if it can tell when people are lying. If it can tell if people are nervous that could be helpful for police interrogation. It can be used on the person who doesn't want to live and can tell that they are upset enough to do something like that and they can be stopped before it happens. It seems like it can be helpful if used by the Police but for the public it wouldnt be a good idea.
The ugly truth about it is the fact this may or may not be real but if it is it will happen. It will eventually happen and then the world will start buiding new things to make robots do and then they'll take over the world but until then. This is a retched idea. If this is to be a good idea I'd say let law enforcement have it but no public access. If we truly want to be supporting the peole who struggle with depression or anything we wont just make a robot tell them to get better. Nothing in this world beats human interaction when love is shown. If we all just showed a little more love idea like this wouldnt even be a thing.
Its not a good idea it never will be But, If it does happent you can bet that I will wear a mask everywhere I go. Personally I dont like the idea of a machine telling me what I am. And if the world come to it and they must have rbots that tell emotions I hope I'm long gone by then. | 2 |
The electorial college should not be used because you dont exactly vote for the president. the electorial college is to voulintary for presidention voting. 3 reasons why the electorial college should not be used because you vote for a slate of electors, they would have the advantige in votes, and it over rules the poeple vote.
One reason why this method should not be used becaus you vote for a slate of electors. instead of voting and using the poeoles vote, you vote for electors to elect for you. it comes from a variaty of places of whom is the electors. which lead to the biggest election crises odf 2000.
Another reqason why this method should nt be used is because they would have a advantige in votes. Republicans would mostly build up the election group. which is over 300 polititions.
one last reason is that it over rules the poeples vote. if the poeple vote is up to 40% and the electorial vote is 60% it would over rule our vote. which leads to a obviouse winner in the election on the camopaighn run.
the reason the elecctorial colllege should be banned is, you votefor a slate of electors, they would have the advantedg in the vote run, and it over rules the poeples vote. | 1 |

My position on driverless cars is that there shouldnt really be driverless cars. If there are driverless cars think of how many more accidents there would be. There shouldnt be a car that can help you pull out of your drive way. The artical states that having driverless cars would be more efficant but what if its not what if there are more accidents in the US due to driverless cars then there is involving humans, it also states that it can help drive its self by accelerating itslef, braking, and steering. Humans need to be alert when behind the wheel. Driverless cars takes that away.
The automotive companies really need to think this desicion more thouroghly, because yes they would be making alot more money by coustomers buying the driverless cars but if the cars truly arent driverless like the artical says then one persokn is gonna think that its okay to fall asleep or something else and then BAM!! You have gotten in an accident and whos fault is it? Its your fault not the cars fault.
Yes driverless cars help with paying more attention but that should not be a reason to just do whatever you want behind the wheel because you thing its safe. The artical states that the BMW auto motive company had announced the development of " Traffic Jam Assistant" the car can only handle driving functions up to 25 miles per hour what will happen if an accident occurs of that speed limit?
Driverless cars should not be a legal thing there is too many things that could go wrong and too many lifes at stake. Should driverless cars be banned? Yes, or, No you decide. | 2 |
Dear Senator,
I am truely appreciative of what you have done for my state, our city, and to help the country in so many ways that can not be explained. But never the less i think that the Electoral College should stay where it is today because it's a fair system in which everybody has a reasonable vote. In ways the Electoral College does help in some ways by avoiding the difficulties and problems of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. For example, "Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Electoral College (301 and 370 electoral votes, respectively)." According to section (22). But what the real question is here Mr. Senator is what is the Electoral College? It's the process by which the compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. You probably knew that already though.
The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. In which a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. In other opinions around the world the Electoral Colege is widely regarded as an "anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner." According to section (15). Even if the Electoral Colege went away what would the government use as an effect to insinuate a new reaveling method on choosing the president? Also the Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. But don't get me wrong the Electoral College has a lot of diffirences as well.
I have to admit myself that the Electoral College is unfair to some potenial voters as well. According to section (11) " The Electoral College was the single best argument because of the disaster factor. The American people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people." Not to mention that the Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational. And that the best arguments in favor of it are mostly asertions without much basis in reality. "The arguments against direct elections are spurious at best." So you see It's not like it is perfect in every way. It just has it's problems that's all.
Mr. Senator i hope you take this letter as a sign as respect from your fellow citizens and as another sign of equality and all i'm saying is that it should stay. Yes it has it's differences, so what nothing is perfect in the world but if treat it as a perfect thing then you will make it perfect.
Sincerely, PROPER_NAME | 1 |
Join the Seagoing Cowboys today! Have an unreplacable experience where you will see places you've NEVER seen, learn to understand the difficulties of other countries, get GREAT characteristics. Read on to find out the AMAZING ADVENTURES and BENEFITS of a Seagoing Cowboy.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy, you will be able to see things you would only see in magazines. Places like; Milan, Venice, China, Rome, Greece, and many other extravagant sites. You will get to learn about peoples' cultures and environments in the process of this job. Since I've been a Seagoing Cowboy I have been to sites like Europe and China. Also experienced going to the Acropolis in Greece, it was mesmerizing.
Understanding what it is like on other countries is extremely hard to do when you're living in the same country your whole life so, venture out! Becoming a Seagoing Cowboy you will become grateful for what you have because you will become aware of how many people are without food, water, and shelters. Places like China punish people for having certain religious beliefs. You will get to know first hand how much people need the supplies you are giving to them.
This duty will give you characteristics like perserverance, selflessness, and courage. You could also inspire other people. You will gain perserverance by not quitting when people most need horses, young cows, and mules, among other things. To persevere when you have to clean out the horrorendous stalls where the animals stay. You will also gain selflessness when the ship is in the middle of an ocean and there is no lifeline to reach out to when a hurricane or storm comes. The courage comes from you going to foreign countries where there are harsh people that may kill you. You have the opportunity to inspire other personal to lend a hand to places around the world.
The experience is already unbelievable, but then you get to meet and know other people. It could be people that work there, or people from other countries. You never know when you will meet someone you grow fond of. You can play games with the people on the ship. You can enjoy playing; baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and card games.
Although you are risking your life, you are risking your life for a great cause, an incredable experience, and a chance to meet new people. You can visit places like Venice, understand the difficulties in other countries, gain excellent characteristics, and meet new persons. You get the reward of seeing needy people with a smile on their joyous faces because of the supplies you are giving them. The supplies they need to over come the effects of World War 2. Then with your help, they can eventually start to rebuild their country and civilization. This trip of a life time can only be described as unbelievable, shocking, and jaw-dropping. So, are you ready to join the Seagoing Cowboys? | 4 |
For most people it is more common to get from place to place by hopping in a car. But, what if we never used cars, or at least limited them? Lives would be inpacted in a very positive way. In
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars , by Elisabeth Rosenthal,
Paris bans driving due to smog , by Robert Duffer,
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogata , by Andrew Selsky, and
The End of Car Culture , by Elisabeth Rosenthal the authors show how cars are not a neccesity to life and how our communities can even be better off without them. Because of the positive impact on our enviroment and the increase of a community, limiting car usage is a serious idea worty of a second look.
Cars, especially in America, are a major source of transportation. Without them many people would not have an easy way to commute to where they need to be. But, convience is causing more pain than pleasure and startign to harm our enviroment. Cars just by themselves cause around fifty percent of the greenhouse gases that are emited into the atmospere. Similarly they cause twelve percent in Europe (par. 5) Logically it would make sense to find the root of a problem and change it to make the problem go away, but in the case of cars, cars are a root in the pollution problem, but many people need them to ge to get where they need to be. The easiest solution to this is to limit our car use and add more busses and easier, more acessable areas for bikes and walking. Pollution will lower and people will still get to where they need to be. Pollution is a major topic regarding the safety of our enviroment and cars have been a proven source of much of the pollution in the air. Using less cars coensides with less pollution in our surroundings. Paris, France was suffering from very high pollution in the air. To combat this, for five days certain people, based on their lisecense plate number, were not allowed to use their cars. Though not everyone complied, after the five days the smog went from the levels found in the worst city for pollution, Beijing China, down by sixty percent (par.14). In just under a week Paris went from being the most polluted it had ever been to a better, safer level. If a city just by limiting the car usage by half was able to make such a drastic difference in that time, imagine it being limited more over a wider area. There is a possibility of totally correcting the pollution problem worldwide, or at least making it better and more easily handled. Although the enviroment is important, cars are also affecting the way we interact as people in a community.
Because we have cars, we never really see the senery around us. We exit our houses, jump in our cars, drive, and walk ito our destination. There is no contact with nature or other people passing by. Limiting cars can lead to the increase of interaction and better looking cities. In Bogota, there is a day once a year called "car-free day", in which no one is allowed any use of their personal cars and fined if they do not comply. Because of this there has been an increase in new high-end resturants and places to shop. The community has also added more city parks and places for sports. There is no traffic rush hour and due to the increased walking the old broken sidewalks have been replaced with larger new ones (par.28). No one wants to not only have to walk, but have to walk on a surface that is hard to walk on and unappealing. Due to this, people started to create parks and sports centers for a nice place to be as well as a nice place to look at. And because of the increased foot traffic, there have been more people opening shops and resturants, as no one speeding by in a car will notice a small corner store, but someone strolling by, taking in the scenery will. In response to the increased foot traffic, it is important that there is somewhere to actually put your foot, and old cracked pavement won't cut it. If there are less cars, less road pavement is needed and more sidewalk pavement is. So, the old pavement is replaced with more pavement that is in better shape. All the walking and passing people causes people to be more social and to interact more often. The members of a community are more together. Mr. Sivak, a researcher, had noticed both of his children are not interested in getting a driver's licence. Everything they do is centered around walking, public transport, and carpooling. They don't find it necissary to have a car and licence (par. 39). The children of the researcher don't have or need a car because what they do doesn't require them to have one. They get a more full experience not being in a car all the time. In a carpool they get to socialize with friends and while walking they get an outdoor and community experience.
In short, cars are an easy way to get from area to area, but they are very harful to the enviroment and our community. They add pollution to the air and cut off our everyday contact. If we limited the use of cars we would lower pollution, casuse our cities to be more attractive, have better ways of transport, and be closer as people in an area. So, is a car still going to be your most common way of transport? Think of the good you would do to the world if it wasn't. | 4 |
Imagaine you're looking at the sky and you see a star thats is brighter than most. Then you might be seeing the planet Venus which is one of the brightest points in the sky which is where it gets it's nickname "Evening Star." The author from the text talks about this and more.To support his claims he used percentage/dergees, future plans, real situations, and real events.
In paragraghs 3 and 5 it shows him using percentages and dergrees to support some of his claim. The text states, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. One the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric presure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." The text also states, "at thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 dergees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on earth." With this text evidence it shows how he is using his evidence to show how much Venus is different from the earth and why their is no life on the planet.
The author talk about how venus and Mars are our planet neighbor and how we have tried to land on Venus but to no sucess. The Author states, "humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned, and for goos reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." The author also states, "Venus was the hottest surface tempature of any planet in out solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun." This shows that the author is providing real evidence to prove his study could be dangerous cause of how the past turned out, but it's worth looking into in the future.
With what has failed in the past we can learn from that and move on stronger with a better chance of suceeding. The passage says, "NASA is working on other approches to study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Also says, "Our tevels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." This evidence given it does show we could grow from the past and do better in the future with each new attempt.
In conclusion with all these details given to us by the author. He has supported himself with the evidence and some ideas given in the passage. He has proven himself in the text with facts and past events. The auther did support his claims like using percentages/dergees, real events, real situations, and future plans. | 3 |
Dear Senator my name is PROPER_NAME. Im a 9 grader at SCHOOL_NAME, and i believe that in the furter i want to vote for a president that will repsent our courty and us as a unit. Furthermore I want someone to fight for the freedom we been waiting for all along. I think that the electoral college should stay open becasue our fourth fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise between election of the president by vote in congress and election of the president by a popular vote qualified citizens. There for the electoral college consists of 538 electors. the 23rd Amendment of the constitution, the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purpose of the electoral college. what have Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO, in their time. they all agree on the electoral college.

I think that the new facial action coding system would be good to read emotions of students because it could help figure out people's emotions t, it could help with mixed emotions, and it can help people with questions.
One way that the new new facial action coding system would be good to read emotions of students because it could help figure out people's emotions. One deatil to support my claim is that in the story it says " for instance you can probably tell how a friend is feeling by the look on their face , of course most of us would have troube actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy or sad. That means that with the facial scan computer they acn do it with no hassle at all.
Another reason that the new facial action coding system could help is because it can tell if people have mixed emotoins. One reason to support is that in the text it says "Dr Huang oberves thata artist such as da vinci studied how human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. That means that if someone is having mixed emotions the computer can detect the emotions that person is having.
My third reason that the facial acting coding system would be good is because it can hepl put a smile on people faces. One detain that supports my clain is " According to the facial feedback theory of emotion moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions but can also help you produce them (Putting on a happy face).
In conclusion the facial action coding system would be good for people because it could tell if people have mixed emotions, it could help figure out people's emotions, and it can help people solve problems they are having | 2 |
I disagree with having Driverless Cars . It's absolutely dangerous , and in the passahe it says it'll change the world , yes it will because it's going to cause the percentage of death to really rise up . It's a horrible idea . So many accidents would be done in just one day , then were going to be scared when we drive with our kids and family .
All for looking for a tecnological way to drive . Also , it's not even really Driverless Cars because you still have to be alert to take over when there are accidents , or taffic and that's basically the worst part . Whith so much traffic we have so far , that would not be good . Imagine yourself on the phone or looking back , or just not paying full atention and then you have to drive . That will totally mess you up in your concentration . Having a driverless car will be so stressfull , I would not even buy it .It would cause so many eccidents . I agree with this traffic law , the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times . In most states it's illegal even to test computer driven cars , I hope it's illegal here in Indiana , too
Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver ? If they still need a driver to pay attention , that means there not good to trust . As it says in paragraph 7 , the necessitates the car being ready to quickly get the drivier's attention whenever a problem occurs. What about if you don't look on time ? You never know when something is going to happen , imagine just a computer sensor ?
Dr.Werner Huber a BMW project manager driver said "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way" . You can't play around with cars . It could explode or malfunction no matter how much technology it has in it . The computer system isn't a human , it will not be any better than one . If you're comfortable driving your car , why will you buy a driverless car that you'll still have to drive and not be totally safe in it ?
It's horrible how someone just for being lazy or to look better than someone would get something like this that will just out her or his life in danger . Technology has been very advanced , true , but it would be good to use it as something to help us not to take us to the death . Something that will help us get through life , or important ocasions , not a car that someone can easily drive . There's so many accidents now a dance and humans are the ones driving , imagine just computer sensors that can easily not work when you least expect it . | 2 |
Students will be able to learn better if they had a more effective teacher. Using the Facial Action Coding System could help students and teachers to learn, and teach.
Facial Action Coding System is a great way to get teachers to be more effective, and know what to do when teaching students. An example could be said through the article, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr.Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." (Alto Para. 6). Like said in the article if the system can pick up the students feelings such as, happy, mad, confused, and/or bored. The system can change the way it is teaching the student.
Another way the system can help is, it can tell the emotion of the student. The system can see if the student is really feeling it that day. If the student is ready for the class, the system can give the student a rigorus lesson, but if the student is not really feeling it that day, the system can give the student a more relaxed, easy leasson. This will help the student greatly. This could give the student a way to learn, but not to the point were the student is not learning anything.
The Facial Action Coding System could be a great way for students and teachers to learn, and teach. Using this system can help the students greatly. The students can get a personalized way to learn at their own pace, and own method. Teachers get a better understanding on how to teach students. It is all based on telling emotions. The Facial Action Coding System has great value for use in schools. | 2 |
The author believes that Venus should be able to be explored. Venus should should be explored even though there are many dangerous weather conditions and things that could interfere with a mission. The author believes this because nothing should be able to stop humans from expanding their knowledge. In the article the author describes Venus in several ways which are the similarity to Earth's size,weather type, distance, and how dangerous it is.
Here is an example from paragraph 2 of how its similar to Earth and its' size. "Often referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." What he is saying in this sentence is that Venus isn't very different from Earth and that they are close to each other in distance and sometimes farther apart than they normally are.
Another example in paragraph 2 is how dangerous it is. Even though the author does not state the word dangerous he describes how dangerous it is by stating, "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." In this sentence he is describing that Venus is way too dangerous for a human to step foot on because not even a spaceship can surive for more than a day.
An example he gives of a challenge in Venus is the weather or climate. Here is an example from the article, paragraph 5, "At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Farenheit, but thr air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth." Here the author decribes venus as being very hot without a human touching the ground yet.
All of this adds up to humans having a challenges on Venus. Humans are very strong and will find a way to survive on Venus because they have already tested some simple electronics made up of silicon and the outcome was that the electronic survived for a couple of weeks. This wouldnt be easy for a human but it would be normal difficulty. | 2 |
The Mona Lisa's mood was never really made out to be one emotion.Looking at this painting would have anyone confused as to what was running through he r mind at that exact moment or what was going on around her.Leonardo da Vinci captured what seems to be a smirk or even a face of mixed emotions.
The Mona Lisa is known for having a multi-expression face,but in this day in age it can be determined by people all over the world exactly what she felt in that exact moment. "She's 83 percent happy,9 percent disgusted,6 percent fearful,and 2 percent angry...It's the subject of Leonardo di Vinci's Renaissance painting,Mona Lisa--at least according to some new computer software that can recognize emotions." With this new amazing software it will be easier to read people and use this to analyze different types of people.
This advanced technology works much like us."In fact, we humans perform this same impressive 'calculation' everyday.For instance,you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face''. Not only can this new tech help with human expressions,but this software can also help with education. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored...Then it could modify the lesson,like an effective human instructor." This new discovery can help the avarage student through a stressful and confusing class meaning grades would go up and students would be more succsesful in their acadimic career.
Finally,this technology can change the education world and everything else for the better.Making everything easier and stressless to the world. | 2 |
"Hurry up Don!", yelled Luke . Don came out to the deck . "We're almost at the station.", said Don . "Then I guess we have to to hurry up if we want poeple to join the Seagoing Cowboys program." said Luke excited. When the ship finally arrived Luke and Don went out to get a quick snack, and while at it convincing other people to join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
As soon as luke and Don found a place to get a quick snack both had a bit of an issue. Both Luke and Don we're on the other side of the room becasue of all the poeple in there. "It's full in here. A million poeple must be in here!" ,yelled Luke . Don heard luke's joke but thought that it wasn't very funny. Don yelled "We should start convining poeple to join the Seagoing Cowboys program." Luke Shouted "Yes I think we should. "
Both Luke and Don had not been quite lucky .Only three poeple wanted to join . " We should try another time. " ,said Luke . The men that wanted to join , signed up and got the job. " We're going to reach land in a couple of days.", said Luke "Well for now we work hard on our jobs right now." , said Don . The crew had a meeting that the Seagoing Cowboys we're running low on men. All have either died or had retried.
When Luke arrived at the Station, Luke couldn't wait any longer for Don so Luke left him behind . Luke was determined to get more men on the crew. Luke went to lots and different places. Today Luke felt luckier now that he was carring a rabbit's foot for luck with him. I must get lots of poeple on the Seagoing Cowboys program. At the end of the Day,Don was desperteand worried for Luke if he was or wasn't going to make it on time. The boat was leaving Luke shouted that he found lots of poeple that wanted to join .
From that day and on the crew was careful and cautious. And had dozens more poeple wanted to join because war was happing again.

There are many things a computer can do and could tell you if it could. Computers know many things about you and what things you like without even telling you, it comes from your way of expression and thinking. Would it be cool determine how someone really feels by using an computer software? Yes it could. For example students in a classroom when you look around people around you might have different expressions when it comes to different things. Some expressions can't be determined always by an human eye, people around you may look sad or happy and etc. but, that is only what you see within the human eye.
All people have many different expressions than just one expression that you in your class may appear to see. Expression is determined not only by how the face looks like or how the mouth looks, It is all determined by the muscles in the human face like cheek bones. All the studies made by you and others, not always computer or any source of science.
This person named Dr. Huang thought in his head that computers can already determine many things in a humans preference by the things a human finds appealing or disturbing. Dr. Huang predicted that since the web can determine all things by preferences it could the modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. Most people spend many hours nonverbal and on technology to realize how a person might feel next to them without even paying attention so Dr. Huang noted that and figured out computers know so much that they could understand that too.
Like mirriors or anything that is reflectable can determine how you may feel when you look at yourself no matter if you groom or stare. If your in a classroom a teacher, computer, etc might ask you to describe a picture which I know this happened many times before, but it might ask and people may give variety answers that you might think is right as well. With an software it can determine how the person or something might really feel.
By the help of professor Thomas Huang and Nicu Sebe they decided to create a 3-D model on a software with 44 different muscle models like humans facial expressions and did test to figure the percentage of an human face isn't that cool. This came to use on the Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo studies of anatomy which he uses on the painting made it look like he painted a lady which appeals to be smiling but also has other expressions which was also thought by the two scientists. The fundamentals of the computers unique ways gave percentages of the painting. How you might ask? By the following of stretched muscles which are called zygomatic and different muscles called risorius.
This is amazing so even using this can determine how a person feels in your daily life especially being around others in a classroom because maybe not everyone might feel the same as you might. It also gives more descriptions of how a person may feels than how you may think within the human eye. This could be helpful all around the human community studies of others. Instead of asking people whats wrong or how they are feeling you would already know by using the Facial Action Coding System. Do you think your guesses of how you may feel or others is right? Give the system a check maybe it might prove you wrong? | 3 |
People are finally opening their eyes to the world around them, and realizing the way things are, could be changed. The automotive world is steadily declining, in an attempt to help our world, and it's not all that bad. Less cars are being bought, less emissions are being released into the atmosphere, and people are seeing the advantages of limited car usage.
"Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders." (Derived from the source, "
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars
")This place is called Vauban, it's a suburb in which 70% of families don't own cars, and 57% actually sold their car to move here. Car ownership is allowed here, there are only two places to park however, and both are very expensive. People in this city alone have not only reduced greenhouse gas emissions, they've helped the world by giving a new perspective on living, and they've even made themselves feel better in the process. Heidrun Walter said, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Advantages of a car reduced community didn't just stop here, other places around the world are seeking out the benefits of limiting car use, and adopting some of the same aspects of this experiment.
"After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." The smog was horrible, people were even comparing it to Bejing. The city of Paris was engulfed in the choking air caused by the cars that conjested the streets. "[Last] week Paris had 147 micrograms or particulate matter per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London..." Paris generally had more smog than a number of European capitals. However, the ban worked exceptionally well. The smog had cleared enough in one weekend for the ban to be lifted the following Tuesday. Imagine if every community were to try something like this, just imagine how clean the air would be. Not only would the world be healthier, we'd be healthier ourselves if we just limited car usage even a miniscule amount.
Not only is the world becoming healthier as a whole an advantage to lower car use, all the way down to our communities would become better also. "The day without cars is an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s." People go a whole day without using cars, with the exception of buses or taxis, and those that do use cars get fined. The citizens bike and hike and enjoy life without breathing in the smog that usually plagues the air. This event has caused some major improvements to the city. "It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city, according to Mockus, the city's mayor." Also, "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." This entire city has reaped the benefits of just one day without cars. Citizens here have not only began to improve themselves, but have also improved the world around them.
In conclusion, the advantages of limited car usage are finally being noticed throughout the world. Cities are experimenting and gathering results of not only better health in people in these communities, but even better living in the long run. Cities are becoming denser to make walking easier, sports centers and better sidewalks are blooming into city living, and people are even feeling better themselves from these experiments. Throughout the world limting the use of cars is spreading, and every where it goes people are seeing an upside. The more people that try to limit car usage, the better it will be, for the world, and for us as people. | 4 |
Young people of this generation just sit on the couch and wach t.v or on their phones all day, not one of them want to explore because they're scared. Well i say" live for the day!" Only because you don't know whats gonna happen tomarrow.
Join the "Seagoing Cowboys", you can travel to Europe China and more, plus for some kids you can be drafted in the military service(thats a good way to start something after high school).If you still think it's not fun you get to play games like volleyball or tennis fencing and all on the boat.If you like animals then you can take care of the cattel or horses.
A boy named Luke joined and he loved it he had fun and he saw China,Euope,andCrete.Luke stated that he was grateful for the opportunity, and it made him aware of other people in other countries needs, so his family became host for international student and exchange visitors for many years.
So come join to be a "Seagoing Cowboy" it's
be a once in a life time experiance that can change your life for the good (it changed Luke's life). | 1 |
