Driverless cars are a great idea for the reason, that they can drive them self and leave less room for error. They can also can alert the driver that they need to take over the driver for the can't drive though cretin areas. The car could save lifes too in the matter that less and less car crash will happen. These car could change the way humans live forever.
The fact that these cars could drive them selves with sensors and watch the places by the car that could usely not be seen by a human driver. The driver less cars could also talk and coranate with each of the other driver less car around them so they could know when and where they are truning witch in trun could drop the car accient rate. As our technology get more and more advanced we could includ a total move away form human drivers and all AI, AI are almost always smater than humans and can be updataed via the internet on traffic probles and other things in the area.
Even if we cant some make the car totaly driverless we could make it mostly driver less and when it is needed we could keep the driver up to date on all the traffic in the area. But if a driver wanted to drive the car him or her self we could just make a button that switches the control over to one and other. If a car crush ever did happen it would be almost always a human driving, but with the power of senors could mimize the threat of something like that ever happening.
The driver less car could also save live in the matter that they have a better reation time the humans. When it would take a human five to six seconds to resopnd to some on walking out in front of them it would take the AI one to two seconds to respond to the danger. Less car crushes means less pople will die hunders of people die every year for cars crushing into each other and the oddes are that the AI could talk to each other and see where and when to trun into or on somthing.
Even though people could stil get hurt with the driver less car it would be minmized to a few people each year. Sometimes a human could have to take over the car witch could be bad or good. Technology does sometimes fail like humans do but its less likly to happen. These car could change the way human live forever. | 2 |
If you were Luke Bombeger why woud you join in the UNRRA program? Iis it because you get to go around the world and help different types of people who servived World War II, or is it because you get to take care of animals. If I were in
Lukes place I would join the program because of both reason s taking care of people who servived and because of taking care of animals.
In the first paragraph it says "Luke Bomberger had no idea that his life would change soon after his high school graduation. He was working two part -time jobs in a grocery store and a bank when his friend Don Reist invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke couldn't say no. He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime."
Luke turned 18 before arriving in Greece, which ment he could be drafted for military service.
It took about two weekes to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States, but not for all the dangers at sea. On his second trip, Luck served as a nigt watchman. It may hav ook Luck a long time to go around the Atlantic Ocean for two weekes it was worth it because he helped people in need of food and ofter supplies to stay alive. I would have done the same too because you never know if there would be a
World War III(WWIII). | 1 |
Driverless cars are seen in fantasy films, books , and Tv shows but none of this truely wonderful dream been seen in the real world.. That could all change because by the year 2020 a lot of the big car companies such as Mercedes, nissan etc are planning to maek Driverless vehicles. The invention of driverless cars can be a good or bad thing it depends on the way you look at it.
Driverless cars are coming with a lot of new technology such as cameras to see if the driver is focused on the road, on the windshield there will be heads-up displays, the car would use half of todays fuel, and more flexibility then a bus. Some cons of driverless cars can be the price of such technology in a vehicle, the price for companys to manifacture the car, and always if the technology fails and someone gets injured, hurt, or dies on the road who would we blame for the incident? Who is justice served to the driver or the manufacturer?
In conclusion I think they should not create a truly Driverless car there are many cons that come along it and the biggest and most important i believe is going to be the price of the vehicle. A car with a driver is a lot more safer then we know if a incident happens we know who was responcible and why and how it occured. A pro they should add to Drivered car that they are going to add to driverless car is the fuel efficienty, because that is going to help us humans and the planet we live on. Goodbye and as always have a nice day. | 1 |
The article "Marking Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D' Alto is a good article talking about how the system called Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. I believe this system is great for a student in a classroom. The system will help a teacher by telling weather or not a kid likes something. Another way the system is valuable is because the system can tell if a person like an ad on the computer or not. The system will read your facial expressions to tell weather you are happy, surprised, angry, disgusted, scared, or sad.
The first way the Facial Action Coding System is helpful is by telling the
teacher weather or not a kid likes something. Each facial expression is different from every person. For example, if a kid is reading a book on the computer. The computer will read the kid facial expressiones to tell the teacher weather he or she likes the book or not. The computer will send different percentages to the teacher on how the kid feels about the book. If the student does not like the book, the teacher could help the student by giving he or she another book to read. This system can also be helpful for companys that play videos. When someone watches a video and an ad comes on, the system can tell weather or not they like the ad or the person dislike the ad. If the person disliked the ad, the company that plays the videos and ads can play a different ad that the person may like more. I do believe this system will be valuable for the human world. The system will give percentage on how the person feel about something. The system will tell weather he or she shows happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, or sadness.
Prof. Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois has a awesome idea of a system that read people facial expressions. This system will be valuable in the world. It can help in the classroom of school or outside of school. The Facial Action Coding System will tell if a
person is happy, angry, scared, sad, surprised, or disgusted. Every person has a different facial expressions. This sytem will help tell if they are what their facial expressions say they are. | 3 |
Do you like helping people while having fun? If you do then I've just the right job for you. This wonderful job is called the UNRRA. There are many reasons why you should join the UNRRA to be a seagoing Cowboys. Some in which include trips, hanging out, ETC. Today we are going to be going over or covering if you will some of the reasons that you should join the seagoing cowboys in the UNRRA.
First of all many people say that you whould nothing out of this organization, but you really get a lot of things out of this organization. One reason you should join the seagoing cowboys is you get many trips around the world. For example, in " A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves" Luke said that he got to go all around the world like: China, Europe, Greece, ETC. You actuall get to go all over the world.
Second is that you get to hang out with people you might not know, and who knows you might make a friend, meet your new best friend or even find that perfect someone for you. If you do meet someone then you would be able to hang out a lot. You could have your first date with that perfect someone in a different contry. How cool whould that be! If you don't believe me you can go back to thee text and look in paragraph 5. If I recall it says that he was able to go see many touring spots, and had a lot more free time then you think.
Speaking of touring that brings me to my next point you are able to go sight seeing and touring. You can go to many places in China and Europe. For example, If you are in Europe and you are close or near Italy you can go and see the leaning tower of piza. For lunch you can go and get some delisous Italian pizza. Now to me that sounds like the perfect day.
Others might argue by saying that all of this is too expensive and it cost a lot of money. What the people that say this don't see is that the organization pays for most of the cost. Sometimes I bet you that the people that go on this trip don't even spend a dime or a penny.
In coclusion as you can see by all of the evidence I have showed that there is no doubt in the world that you should not join this organization UNRRA to become a seagoing cowboy. To me all of this kind of sounds fun like a vacation. It doesn't sound like a job at all it sounds refreshing to be able to be at work while doing soomething that seems like fun and a vacation. In conclusion judging by everything I have stated I think that you should join the seagoing cowboys. I know that I will join the seagoing cowboys, will you join? | 2 |
The article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" is probably the best story ever! The facial Action Coding System is a really great thing to do when you're at school or work. I think that it's cool that just scanning someones face can help you know what their real emotions are.
The thing I like most about the article is that it says "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." I love how Dr. Huang could tell what Mona Lisa's emotions were by looking through a screen called Facial Action Coding System.
In paragraph three, it tells you that the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face. It scans the 44 major muscles in the model like human muscles.
He founded out that there are 6 facial expressions a person can have like, happiness, surprise, anger, digust, fear, and sadness. I love how it can tell if your are making a fake smile or real smile by looking at your mouth. Usually if you're actually happy, your cheeks and eyebrows raise up and if you weren't smiling real then your lips wouldn't go up they would just move sideways and it wouldn't go up. | 0 |
Are you interested in taking care of animals? Do you like going on boats out in the sea? If both of your answers are yes then you should be a seagoing cowboy. A seagoing cowboy is a person who goes onto a boat and takes care of the animals on the boat.
I think that you should particapate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program because you could explore all of the oceans. Also you could see Europe and many other countries. You could help all of the people that need food supplies, animals, and more. To support this in the text it says "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special,"
Also I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys Program beause it was an oppurtinity to have fun on board. I know this because in the text it says "Luke also found time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. The cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed.
To conclude, I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys because you get the oppurtunity to explore all kinds of countries. Also I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys Prgram because you got to have fun on board playing all kinds of different games to past the time. | 1 |
electrol college is not just a college it is a process, The electoral college is a process that consist of the selection of the electors, it started in the founding fathers established in the constitution as a comprise between election of the president . this means that the electorol college should stay this college is more than just any old college its history ,its in the constitution this college should not be gone this college should be honored. these electorals mainly select the votes for the people in the white house like the president and vice predident. our state is entitled allotment of electors equals the nuimber of memebers in the congressional delegation . i want electoral college to stay because they are good at things for the state . and they also have a big role in alot of things.
the electors college plays a big role in our state . under the 23 amendment of the constitution , the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors and a treated like a state for purpose of the electoral college . this means that because of the electoral college the district of columbia is treated like a state . so electoral college is the reason why some districts are called a state why take this type of college away if this has such a big role in alot of things to do with the congress . with out the electoral college they wouldnt have presidents or any thing . in every election the electors are always there in every president election every president have their own group of electors behind them . they are joined by a canidates political party .
u may wonder how the electors work because all u do is see them behind the prsident well the process is hard and they want students who wants to be an elector to get ready on what they are about to get in to . it first start off by the u choosing the president when u choose the president u choose the group of electors this means when you choose the president the electors goes with him or her , most states have winner takes all system that awards all electors to the winng pesidental canidate's electors . after the election the govoner pepares a 'certificae of ascertainment'. this means that that it is listing all of the canidates who ran for president in your state along with names of their respective electors . the electors go through a long process . and the college wants the studentsa to know all the things they need to before they become electors.
the electors deserve to have a college someone might want to be an elector and they might think its hard for them it wouldnt be anything with out electors they do more than just stand behind the president they do more they help the president the president we have today wouldnt be able to run for president without a group of electors . and they need a college for someone who wants to be an elector. this college should be honored to be in a program like that these electors are needed in our country with out electors we would have nothing if we didnt have electors the electoral college is widely know as an non democratic method of selecting a president that outa be by declaring the canidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner .
these are all the reasons why we need the electors program . because they play in a big role of our country and dthey also good for our state and .l so we need these progems to show young student that being an elector is not easy itbis very hard and a long process and we need to show students how the experience is and they also need to be knowleged trained to do stuff that will make our country better . because if they mess up on one little thing its an automatic fire for them . we need these colleges because it plays a big role and it reuires the votes. of the president meaining it helps the president win . | 0 |
Driverless cars are not in the best interest for humans. People like to be in control. Men and women won't want to give up their freedom of driving their own vehicles. The feeling of being proud to drive yourself around will over power the easiness of having a car, just drive you.
Driverless cars are not even close to being ready, some can only go up to 25 mph. With highways and freeways a 25 mph car serves no purpose. The article states, "... but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. If you have to hold on to the wheel, then you might as well drive yourself.
Now, with the popularity of driverless cars growning, some states have outloud the driverless cars. "In most states it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars." Being able to drive from state to state is a great privilage in the United States. Having a driverless car would only be good for a state that aloud it. Vacations across the Us would become much more difficult, if you weren't even aloud to "drive" your own car.
Finally, Computers have been gettign hacked sense the first one was invented. A hacker hacks it, the computer malfunctions and all files are erased or it acts on terms that you can not control. Driverless vechicles run on a computer based system. It only takes one terrorist or criminal to figure out how to hack it and crashes could occur within a push of a button. But, these cars could be useful to get a good nap in, or rest so someone isn't tired and driving. They could also help out with drunk driving. The only problem is, that there are to many difficulties that come with these new products and they will never be in the peoples good interest if they are not solved.
Driverless cars are the things of the FUTURE. Right now in present time they are to difficult to make, and dangers within their processing are not correctly set up. Driverless cars would cause a negative impact in our society. | 3 |
SEAGOING COWBOYS PROGRAM
In this essay, I'm going to give you details of why you should sign up to become apart of the Seagoing Cowboys program. The first reason, is you will go on many adventures and trips. Reason two, is you get to take care of animals like horses, young cows, and mules. Reason three is that you'll become an seagoing cowboy.
You get to help countries and animals. To help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations will join together to form UNRRA ( the United Nations Relief and Rehabliltation Adminstration). Seagoing Cowboys will take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped oversea. It will make you more aware of people of the countries and their needs. And that awareness will stay with you.
It will much of an adventure to you. You'll have fun on board especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded.

In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify and act on human emotions. It reads a person's facial feature and identifies their emotions. For example, if particular person sees an ad they don't like, the computer will read their expression upon it and acts quickly to make them satisfied. This technology can definitly be useful to students.
Everyday in a classroom a student will stop paying attention because they are confused or bored. In the article, it tells how the computer will try another strategy to get the student back on board with the main topic. This could be by making it into a game or maybe showing them a video that will help them understand the subject. This is an amazing technique to make sure no student falls behind.
There are so many ways that parents use to get there children into learning without any complications. Many students take online classes so they can go at their own pace. Most parents try to get their kids home schooled so they feel more comfortable with their surroundings. Some parents even get their younger children who have not been enrolled to school yet, started on the learning proccess. And although some websites might be helpful it does not always work out in the best way. With the new technology the computer, it willl be able to sense what the students pay more attention to, what the students are more interested in learning about. And with that, the computer will be able to find a way to get the students more on board with the learning proccess.
Many students have some big problems in their life and some people won't be able to help them. However, if the computer knows how to make them smile or feel better about themselves this might lead to a decrease in depression and teenage suicide events. With this new technology teenagers may not even have to worry about what is going on in the social media websites. They wiill be doing things that make them happy or satisfied with their life. This will be a major decrease in cyber bullying.
This new technology called the Facial Action Coding System will have a major impact on not just students, but with every teenager who has trouble staying on track in and outside of school. This technology will enable students to be able to learn at their own pace with their style of learning and with some extra help, This will be very valuable to students everywhere. | 3 |
Driveless cars are cool because you can have someone come and get you like a taxi. Driver's wouldn't be bored of waitin on their time to drive , because they would have they're on vehicals to take other other people to where they need to be . (Ubers) are alsosomeone you would call to give you a ride to where you need to go for cash .
Becoming a uber or a taxi you have to be ready to run aarons because you going to have a good amount of customors if you are in a big city or somewhere with a higher population, it's also
a touch sensor on the streering wheel just in case the driver let the wheel go . GM
has created driver's seats to vibrate when the vehicle is in some danger.
Sensors are'nt new , in the 1980's automarkers used speedsenors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes. It's alot os sensors around but just in some places you can't find them or even reconized them until you put your hands on it , then it would either go off or beep but you would kno if its a sensor or not. Manufactures have camearas for the people thats driving and make sure they are keeping their eyes on the road. The cars he going to use wuold use half the fuel of today taxi's and offer far more flexibility than a school bus , he believes sucj cars would fundamentally change the world. | 0 |
''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.'' The Electoral College is one of the most fair systems our society has set up. This process is fair and essential because it is is not the only determination, each state gets the correct amount of power, and it shows a clear winner.
The Electoral College does is not fully responsible for the outcome of the decision for our President. In the year 2000, this was proved, Gore had received more popular votes than Bush, yet fewer electoral votes. ''It is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote.'' The section of the nation that believes the Electoral College is unfair believes this because they assume all the power is in this system's hands. Yet they are mistaken because clearly our popular vote can override this system if necessary. Though it is very rare most will argue, the fact that it is possible to not allow the Electoral College to take control of our government proves that the power is really all in the hands of the citizens. Clearly, the ''unfair'' picture most perceive is largely mistaken.
The sizes of states in our country widely varies. From Rhode Island to Texas, we have power in Congress. It would simply not be fair if our small states had the same amout of power as our larger states. California has more of a population, therefore should have more say in Congress, than New Jersey. ''Your states entitles allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation; one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.'' Just the way this is set up in Congress, the same amount of power for each state is applied for choosing our President for the next four years. This is only fair to the population of America and equal representation in all the sections of congress would be unfair to the larger states that obviously require and deserve more power than the smaller states in the United States. Basically, power is fairly given to each state under the Electoral College.
''The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast.'' Though this situation is rare, in 1968 when Nixon ran against Clinton, both had a total of 43 percent of the popular votes. Yet, because of the Electoral College, a clear winner was shown. If ever in case of this event, this ''pressure'' can complicate and make the choosing of the President way more difficult than it was planned to be. For this reason, our Electoral College sets up a way to take care of this if it was to happen again. Obviously, the Electoral College shows a clear winner and takes out any confusion or problems that could arise.
To conclude, our country is based off of fair rules and systems, one of them being the Electoral College. It is fair because it does not have full power, the right amount of power is applied to each state, and it produces a clear winner. ''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 electio.'' | 4 |
You should join the UNRRA and be a 'seagoing cowboy'! Being on a cattle boat is an unbelievable opportunity. You get to visit different counteries and help people in need. It is also fun to take care of the different animals on board, like the cows, horses, and mules. I met many new friends while I was on the ship. There are many young men that joing every year, ready to make friends.
Like I said before, visiting different counteries is a new experince for many people. It's true! While I was on the ship,we visited Europe, China, Crete, and many other places. In Venice, Italy, we took a gondola ride though the streets of water. In Greece, we saw the Acropolis.
The animals would be a new experince for some of you. Horses are very gentel creatures. Cows can be crabby, but sweet. Hauling up the hay, oats, and water for the animals every day can be tiring, but it sure gives you muscles! If you are carfull, you can ride the horses around on deck, but only in calm seas!
The men are always so nice, and we have lots of fun together. We wittle and carve, box and fence, and sing songs. When the animals are unloaded, sometimes we play games in the empty stalls, like baseball and volleyball. We love talking about our family and sweethearts who are back on land.
Over all, I think that being a 'seagoing cowboy' would be a very good experence and many of you would find it very interesting. It is an unbelievable experince and taking care of the animals and people you meet is pretty cool. I hope you think about my offer and remember what I said about taking care of the animals, visiting new places, and meeting new people. | 2 |
He is saying that mabey one time there was things living there like there were trees and water . Many things like nature and that its really hot and that its possible that humans can go . but that it will be hard to stay up there because there happends to be a challenge of who can get there first and NASA wants to send people to Venus to get and gather research . NASA is looking at electronics that they are making so that they can last up there just becase it can be up to 170 degrees in venus and they need to make everything to be resistant to the warmness and heat . Also the prssure that it will give beacsue all those things can just melt and that we should keep learning . not being scared of whats ahead to see what else is out there and to see what other kind of information we can get from going to Venus and exploring more and more and also that the scientist need to get really close to see what
is happening and to gather material tto see what they happen to contain and to see what minerals there is inside . they aso want there inventions and machines to last a long time to gather as much research as they can . | 0 |
To who it may concern,
With all the problems affiliated with the Electoral College, I believe that the United States should do away with the process. This process by which the president is elected is unfair to those of us who are old enough to vote and understand politics. Another disadvantage is that the system of Electoral College is very confusing to many people.
The worst thing about the Electoral College is that it is just outright puzzling. Men who are running for a spot as a presidental candidate are not voted for by the citizens of that state. They have to gain supporters who then become the electors. Then the people of that state have to vote for the electors, not the person to become a presidental candidate. Voters can't even directly vote for who they want. What if you vote for a slate of electors, who are supposed to be in favor of the presidnetal candidate you want, but don't vote for him? What happens then? Presidental candidates who should actually get a chance at running for president because they didn't get enough electoral votes. This all leads to the next disadavntage of the Electoral College, unfairness.
As stated in an article by Bradford Plumer, "... Al Gore ---thanks to the quirks of the electoral college---won the popular vote but lost the presidency." The person running for president should be voted for directly by the voters. Someone, such as Al Gore, can get enough of the popular votes, but not enough of the electoral votes becuase they can't swing the votes in some states. This basically means that the majority of the United States would like to have Al Gore as a president, but couldn't because the majority of people in a state didn't want him as president.
To sum it up, the Electoral College should be eliminated from the presidental voting process. People should just directly vote for who they want as president and see where it goes from there. | 3 |
Driverless Cars i first heard of on the news 6 years ago in 2010. I was alittle kid, around the age of 10 or 11 so it quickly caught my attetion. 'Cars that could drive without mom i thought'. So that could mean on are trips to Chicago to see are cousins we could all watch a movie, instead of me, my brother and sister. But as i got older and studied more i relized that cars that could drive themselves were not exaclty coming to the public as quick as the creators talked about them.
Shortly after the beggining of the article the author tells about Google cars that drive independently under specific conditons since 2009. So whats the problem since they can drive by themselves. A main stance that is repeted in the article is that what will happen when road constuction happen, other drivers on the road and accidents. I gurantee most people driving dont wake up and say, before i go to work im going to have a car crash. Thats a big step they have to figure out before they ask lawmakers to change the laws of self driving vehicles.
Fault is a big concern in this matter as well. Lets look 10 years into the future,
you just got your tax return and your looking into buying a self driving car. So after a week you say, 'hey, this could really be usefull'. And you buy it. Weeks passbuy and one day you put it in selfdrive while you at a stop light to send a text. The light turns green and it begins to move alittle to faster than usaul, you look and know ones in
front so you say everythings good, you look down to send the text and all of a sudden a car comes out of no where and crashes into you. The car is sposed to stop have sensors to tell it to stop when a another vehicle is near, but this time a malfuntion happens. Is it the car companies fault,
this agurment can go extremely deeper than you think.
But as i read the article my stance still stood on the exicitment of the fact that the car could drive its self. But I cant still ignore the possibal crashes that could happen. And the fact that the companies will try to say that they are not at fault for eny crashes that happen in with human control, or self driving control. But for now i would have to say that an incredibal amount of test shold take place, and driving certification centers know the specs of the vehicles. | 2 |
What's wrong with the electoral college is that voters do not vote for the president, they vote for a slate of electors who, in turn, elect the president. The electors can be anyone not holding public office. To be picked depends on the state, some have conventions, sometimes the state party's central committee, sometimes the president pivked the electors themselves. The disaster factor is when we vote the electors can change their mind, "faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for who ever they pleased. I feel changing to election by popular vote is better because if a president wins, its because more people voted for him, not an elector.
The electoral college is unfair to voters because the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates dont spend time in state they have no chance of winning. In an event of a tie, the election would be thrown to the House of Representives, where the state delegations would vote on the president, and the Senate would choose the vice president. In 1976, a tie would have occurred if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hwaii had voted the oter way. The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe. The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System, which is a new software, has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others. The new software has promosing applications for a variety of industries. The software can recognize emotions. The Facial Action Coding System could be a good software for human emotions.
According to Paragraph 2, someone asked if they can actually calculate emotions like math homework and he also asked how can a computer recognize the subtle facial movements we humans use to express how we feel. The answer was the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model must move like human muscles.
I think it can be valuable because the software is for calculating emotions. Emotions like happy, sad, or angry. 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. | 1 |
I believe that the idea of Driverless Cars are a form of laziness. Although they have benefits to all drivers that have a tendancy to veer their attention away from the road, there major downsides and upsides to this new technology. "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars have been driven more than half a millions miles without a crash, but so far, Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing wiht complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through road work or accidents."(Driverless Cars Are Coming).
There are several perks to having a driverless car. "BMW announced the development of 'Traffic Jam Assistant',The car can handle driving funtions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. In
fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, acceerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. this means the human driver must stay alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires. This neccesittates the car being ready to quickly get the drivers attention whenever a problem occurs." (Driverless Cars Are Coming). There are several downsides to having driverless cars. "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and padestrians safe, and lawmakers know that saftey is best achieved with alert drivers. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumptionthat the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer driven cars...If Technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" ( Driverless Cars Are Coming).
Driverless Cars are inveitably well on their way between now and the future.Although they may seem like a great idea, there are several downsides tat have to be taken into consideration. For example; if the technology of the car fails and you are injured or your children are injured who is to blame, you, for not keeping your eye son the road at all times no matter the situation, or the manufacturer who guaranteed you that the computer driver will take over when you need to take your eyes off of the road for just a second? Think about all of the outcomes of every situation before you do it. | 2 |
It is a dangers job but so me of them know how to work with it and work their way around it so they don't get hurt at all , and in the text it says that " Modern computer are enormously powerful,and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions " , that was found in paragarh 7.

My personal opinion is to keep the Electoral College. So far, this process has worked out for us and I don't think we should change it.
One reason I think we should keep the Electoral College is the "certainty of outcome". Most of the states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis. Sometimes, even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state. It is hightly unlikely to have a tie with this system also, because the total number of votes-538- is an even number.
Another reason I am in favor of the Electoral College is that no region can get enough electoral votes to elect a president. A candidate has no reason to campaign in only his or her region alone; they can spend more time in other places instead of relying only on electoral votes.
I also believe that we should avoid the problem of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast. There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins the majority vote. The electoral vote declares the winner in that case.
Some people seem to agree that we would be better off without the Electoral College. They argure that it is "unfair, outdated, and irrational".
All in all, I believe that we should keep the Electoral College for the United States. | 2 |
Why do you think aliens created it? Aliens did not create this it is a natural landform. The face breaks and gets more real each couple of years. If aliens created this then they couldn't of had NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face of Mars , it is a mesa. A mesa is natural so therefor it has to be a natural landform. I think it is real because they got a lot of facts about the mesa and if it was fake they couldn't of gotten facts on it. They seen a image and the note said it was a human head. Now if it was created by aliens and then it couldn't be a human head. I think it is real and so should you. Believe what they say becaue it is real and they are not making it up. This mesa was not created by aliens. Aliens are not even real in the real world. So believe what they say because i think it is real. If you dont think it is real then see if you can find facts about maybe even more facts than they found. If you cant find more facts then them it is obviously not true about it be created by aliens. | 1 |
The day without driving
Our world has became a world that revolves around technology and cars, and it's now starting to show how the affect of these products are tareing away our ozone. Limiting the amount of air pollution can help decease the green house affect.
All over the world people use vehicals to travel all over the place for their daily needs. People are not aware of how close they really are to the things they drive to. If we could just eliminate the amount of useage we use on cars and walk to the places near us we can help with future damage to the earth. In the excerpt
Paris bans driving due to smog ,Robert Duffer shares how paris banned there cars for the better of the world. He states "after days of near-record pollition,paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city". By banning the car uses they have made people healthier and the air much cleaner.
What we dont know is that we use about 100 to 150 gallons of gas a week, and its taking its toll. The excerpt paris bans driving due to smog states that "last week paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (pm) per cubic meter compared with 114 in brussels and 79.9 in london, reuters found." Meaning that we are using so much more than we need.
The End of the car culture states that " many sociologist believe it will-it will have a benificial implication for carbon emissions and the enviorment, since transportation is the second largest source of america's emissions, just behind power plants". that the enviorment is taking the toll for our wrong doings, and the enviorment is change because of the new particals in the air, and its not changing for the better.
In the essay
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in bogota,
Andrew Selky portays how nondriving in healthier and better for you, by stateing that "it's a good oppertunity to take away stress and lower air polution". The world could use a little more walking instead of riding. By taking a walk or a hike or even riding a bike is not only healthier alteritive but it would make people much happier, which could help decrease the vilolance ratings.
By eliminating cars from our daily lives can help with getting rid of our polluted air and help getting our ozone from detriating. The world is suffering and we really need to help get it back to health. Our cars are emitting terrabe thing that are bad for our health and the eniorment so thanks to small countries contibuting to the limitations we are now starting to relise that we need to change for the better. | 3 |
I can remember countless times when I needed to be somewhere, but I had nobody to take me. The future is here, and an era where driveless cars is upon us. As a nondriver, I think this invention would be very useful, it would help busy parents do their duties for them, like picking up a child from school. It also feeds those lazy teenagers as they rarely want to move or do anything that requires activity. I am deffinetly for driverless cars
Driverless cars are not exactly ready to be manufactered because there are some things cars cannot do that the driver would have to do for them. In paragraph 2 it says that cars that exsist today aren fully driverless because they alert you in tricky situations, like pulling in and out of driveways, or dealing with complicated traffic issues. Certainly this is just a minor problem compared to the actual driving part, and is planned to be figured out in the near future.
BMW made an outbreak in 2013 when they announced the deleopment of their ¨Traffic Jam Assistant¨. This vehicle can drive at speeds up to 25 mph, but there are special sensors that make it mandatory for the driver to keep both hands on the wheel at all time. Human drivers must remain alert, which makes it safer for those around them if something were to go wrong. Cars are alerting the drivers by vibrating seats, and light sflashing on the windsheild, catching the attention of the driver.
Although it would be very helpful and easier for everyone to have a driverless car, it could also be more dangerous. Of course the cars would alert us when we need to take the wheel, but most of the population is involved in their cell phones, what if someone ignores it, or misses the alert of signal? This is why as of now, most states have a law against being able to even test computer-driven cars. Why is everyone slowly relying on technology to do all our work?
Car companies have big plans for the future. In parapgraph 10 it states that Tesla has projected a 2016 reliese for a car capable of driving on autopiolet 90 percent if the time. Other companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and NIssan plan to have driverless cars in the year 2020. As of now there are litlle glitches in the plans and laws would have to be figured out, as well as the safetly and reliance of the people in the car. The future is upon us and we better be buckled up and ready for the ride, driver or not. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
I think the Electoral Collage is unfair to the citizens of the United States of America. The Electoral collage resembles too much control by the United States government. As said in Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral Collage: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong, "Back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. This dosnt even sound right does it... This is one example of United States government trying to rail the presidential elections, and i can asure you that this is not the first time this has been attempted by the government. The U.S Constitution delcares that
ALL
citizens of United States of America have the right to vote. What this looks like is the government trying to vote for us. Another thing that i do not get about the Electoral Collage is why are we voting for the elector instead of just towards the president. I get that they have to monitor the votes but arnt we already using electronic computers to vote... I think voting would go alot smoother if the votes went strait to the presidents through computers instead of having an elector who has a strong personal opinion against one political party who has a chance of twisting the votes around to strongly support the political party that he/she is opinionized towards. This why the Electoral Collage is dangerous. There have been cases of law breaking electors twisting the votes around. It is alot more safe to just let the citizens to just strait up vote. In source 3, It tries to tell you all the possitive things about the Electoral Collage... The possitive things they mention about the Electoral Collage are small compared to the issues with it. The Electoral Collage is outdated and needs to be taken off. It is just unfair now.
thanks, Anonymous... | 3 |
Mona Lisa is one of the worlds most famous paintings, but did you know that even though she isnt real computers can still reconize her face and unlock things. In the article "Mona Lisa Smiles", by Nick D' Alto he explanes how Dr. Paul Eckman, the creator of FACS, made a system where computer can reconize your face. Many may argue that the new facial action coding system leads the emotional expression of students in a classroom is valuable this is shown by, Mona Lisa being able to be reconized by compters even though she's a painting, computer can knowlege the students faces and lastly, the computers can make you happy.
Firstly, Mona Lisa is being able to be reconized by computer even though she is a painting. Dr. Paul Eckman made a system where computers unlock themselves and consisders your emotion by your facial expressiona and the tempertures from your body. Nick states, "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry" (D' Alto 1). This quote show that the computers saw her facial expression and determined how she was feeling. It also shows that the computers can see anyones face and unlock any device.
Secondly, computer can reconize their faces and only unlock for the students. The system would be very useful in school because it will determine the students facial expreesion and alert the teacher or the computer if the student needs help or is having a difficult time with their work. Nick states, "A classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored" (D' Alto 6). This quotes shows that the teachers will have a easier time teaching and knowing which student will need help by the computer alrting them and showing that they need help.
Lastly, the computer can make the students more happy. Making smiley to your computer can make you more happy. Moving your facial muscels expresses more emotions. Nick states, "According to Facial Feedback Thoeory of Emotion, moving your facial muscels not only expresses emotions, but also may help produce them" (D' Alto 9). This quote shows that making faces at your computer can make your emotions change and feel better.
In conclution, computers can help the students and schools just by facial expressions. In todays world we have phones that easily unlock itself just by looking at it. Many may argue that emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable, it is, because it will help the students learn more from the computers knowleging that they need help. | 3 |
The use of technology to read human emotions is valuable because it gave us the benefit, to read others' emotions and to indicate their feelings. According to paragraph 6, From Dr. Huang's statement that " The same techonolgy can make computer -animated faces more expressive--- for video games or video surgery. Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication, So coumputers need to understand that, too." He meant the technology is used to understand and communicate human emotions and can be more expressive so that we humans can have understanding with technology. On the other hand some would tell emotions by muscle movement to there fore techonology is not needed to read emotions. According to paragraphs 8 and 9 that talks about how muscle movements helps us to read others' emotions based on telling if a smile is real or forced which indicates if your honest or not. So overall we can say techonology is not valuable to read emotions because there are possiblities for inaccuracy with results, or error to indicate wrong emotions that can have a huge effect on others and results are in doubting range from percise to almost incorrect . So technonlogy is not vaulabe but it is at times but mostly not. | 1 |
Have you ever been to a Seagoing Cowboys program? Well my name is Luke Bomberger, and I am going to tell you that their are fun games and nice people that will help you, you will see things you never seen before,andyou will help people in diffrent places and save the animals too.
First,you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you will see things you never seen before. But what if the people are scared to go on a boat? The texts states that Luke's friend Don invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat and Luke knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime. The text also states that when he sighed up for Seagoing Cowboys program the animals that are on the boat kept him busy and he probely didn't know that he was on the boat.
Next, you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you will help people in diffrent places and save the animals too. But what if people are scared of thoses people?
The text supports Luke helped people at Europe and China. The text also supports that Luke had a night job and the animals had to be feed every hour.
Finally, you would want to go because their are fun games and nice people that will help you. But what if there aren't nice people there? In the text it states that they have cool games like table tennis, fenceing, boxing,reading, whitting, and etc. to pass time. The text also states that when it was a rainy day Luke sliped on a latter and his friends were there to safe him and help him get up from a small strip of metal.
This is the 3 reasons I want you to go because their are fun games and nice people that will help you, you will see things you never seen before,andyou will help people in diffrent places and save the animals too. the last thing is try something new and don't be scared! | 2 |
I would keep the Electoral Collage. So we can still vote for President and also Vice President. The Electoral Collage consists of 538 electors. Majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state puposes of ElectoralCollage.
Each candidate running for President has his or her own group of electors. The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. You vote for President because when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors. Most states have a "winner take all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate.
After the presidential election, your governor prepares a "Certificate of Ascertainment" listing all of the candidates who ran for President in your state along with with the names of their respective electors. Your state's Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election.
The Electoral Collage is windely regared as 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. But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party nominee and that trust is rarely betrayed however it is entirly possible that the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. The Electoral Collage avoids the problem 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 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Electoral Collage 301 and 370 electoral votes respectively. | 0 |
Voting for president should be fair and democratic to all the people. Decisions for the country that affect the people should ultimately be determined by them since their lives could be greatly impacted by those decisions. Today, the country determines the election of the president of the United States by using the electoral college. Although the electoral college is effective in many ways, does it really portray what the people want? Changing the election to election by popular vote would determine what the people want in a more democratic and fair way. The United States was built upon democracy and that strong profile should be kept.
The electoral college is a process by which voters vote for electors that elect the president determined by their political party. In theory it may seem like an effective process, but it can bring many problems. Source 2 says that the single best argument we have against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. The election crisis of 2000 was because of the electoral college process and that even worse things could have happened. The electoral college has brought a lot of problems. "In the same vein, 'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please," (Source 2). Electors refusing to vote for their party's candidtate, or refusing to vote altogether could lead to things like Hawaii sending two slates of electors to Congress in 1960. The electoral college system leads to a lot of complications and using popular vote would make the process simpler.
Voting by the electoral college can bring unfairness to the voting process. Source 3 explains that when you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Your votes do not directly go to the president you want, so even if a president wins the popular vote, they could still lose the electoral college vote and the election all together. "A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538-is an even number, but it is highly unlikely....," (Source 3). Voting by popular vote would not allow this to happen because of the amount of people voting and the likelihood of that happening is even less. Also, the fairness of small states and big states is not democratic in the electoral college process. Since larger states have a greater population, they tend to get more attention than smaller states do. There would clearly be more equality in voting by popular vote than in the electoral college.
"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 poplular vote of qualified citizens," (Source 1). Although this compromise was good in theory at the time, the process is not very fair and does not bring the right people to be elected as electors. The electors are chosen depending on how they reach certain criteria by the law. These laws vary though, which could bring a wide variety of people from each state. This would give some states the upper hand compared to others. There would be no worry about the certain people chosen as electors in the process of popular vote.
The electoral college brings complications, unfairness, and the worry of chosing electors from each state. The Untited States was built upon the idea of general democracy and the process of the electoral college does not carry out that idea. Chosing the president by popular vote would give the people a more democratic way of chosing whom they want to be in charge of the country. The people of the country are the ones most impacted by decisions of the country, so they should have more of a say in what is decided. | 4 |
Having emotional expression scanners in class can be very helpful. It would make it easier for teachers to read students without talking. And it possibly slow the bullying dillemma down because students would be able to tell how they made others feel.
I think that having technology that reads emotional expressions is very valuable. We could be able to use that to be able to further help out the student if he does not like to talk. It could also help the students because they would be able to tell how they are making other students feel. By taking notice on how the student feels it would possibly stop the student from making a dumb decision and help that student out. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal", observes Dr.Huang, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression(like not smiling as broadly)."
I think that having computers that can also scan your face is also a pretty good idea. When the camera on your computer can tell your emotions by facial expression is a great thing, because it can stop certain ads from appearing on your computer when you smile or frown. The computer would also be able to tell when you like an ad so that it can keep showing similar ads. " Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile. But we can write down simple instructions that "encode" different emotions." Now with the face ID that phones have I think that technology keeps amazing us."
So with the emotional expression technogy being available I think that it would be a more than amazing thing to be able to use or just to be able to have. With technology coming up with new all the time I think that it would help if we just kept moving along with it. The emotional expression technology should be accepted by more and more people and more businesses. | 2 |
There are many things that people think the Face on mars is. You however, think that the face was created by aliens. We have gathered a lot of evidence on this and here is why you are wrong.
In paragraph 12 it says, "What the picture really shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West." So if it really was an ancient alien artifact then that mean that aliens have been here as well. Along with all of the pictures we have aquired if there was a civilization we would have been able to see at least some of the remains in the pictures. But we have not.
Paragraph eight however, says, "The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze." Though this could be true, we have better quality pictures now than we did then and there are no alien markings shown. With the quality of the pictures we have now we can zoom in and it still looks fairly close to how it looks at normal size, and there are no markings.
In paragraph seven it tells us once more that, yet again, it is a natural landform. But people are not satisfied with that answer. In paragraph five conspiracy theorists say that it's bona fide, or evidence of life on Mars. They say that NASA would rather hide this information but people who work for NASA wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars. Would they seriously hide this kind of information from the public? No, because it would get them money and this would possibly be a world changing discovery.
So, in conclusion, the Face on Mars is just a landmark. It has been proven that it is a landmark and nothing more several times. If you don't believe me then fine. But I really think you should just hang this one up for now. | 3 |
Driverless cars is a really bad idea. There are so many outcomes that could happen when the car is drving itself. It could malfunction and crash. The driver might not be paying attention and when they do have to take over, they don't and crash. And lastly there would be many people losing lots of money from sueings because people wouldnt know who was at fault, the driver or the manufacturer.
There are some positives to the driverless cars. For example people who just "have" to text can finally do that and when needed to drive can surely put there phone down for five minutesto help the car out. Also, less use of gas will help our world out with global warming, and the decrease of fossil fuels in the world. Finally, there would be a decrease in crashes across the nation, but many would not know who to blame.
Driverless cars should not be aloud for may differnet reasons. First, if the driver is tired and is not doing anything but watching the road waiting for it to say for them to take over, they could fall alseep and not see the warning sign. Second, It would have possiblely more drunk driving accindents, becuase they would think the car would just take them home insted of them having to worry about it.
Driverless cars are a bad thing and should not become a thing in the U.S. They wouldd lead to many dissagreements in court, people would take advantage of them. Lastly, people would dissrespect he car and what has been given to them from technology and think it is just a toy now! | 2 |
Dear Mister Florida Senator,
I want you to tell mister president that we should keep the electoral college. Popular vote is not fair. not everyone is popular in all the states that is why people need the electoral votes so they can get a chance.
In source 2: the indefensible electoral college: why even the besy-laid defenses of the system are wrong states "because of the winner take all system in each state, candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the 'swing' states." This is telling me that democratic presidents dont go to republican states, like california, because they already know the republican president won them over without really doing much. Now, if it was a swing state, like florida, then both candidates want to fly over to the states and make sure they give a good speech to get as many electoral votes as possible.
In source 3: in defense of the electoral college: five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing a president it states, in reason number 2 "everyones president"
, that no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. If the president knew they would be able to win a region because the region believes in what he chooses, the candidate will not get electoral votes because he knows he will win those states. A candidate with only the regional votes is less likely to become president. If the president tries in the harder regions-regions he might not win or the swing states- he will get more votes.
In source 3 , it also states, in reason 3 "swing states"
, voters in the swing states are more likely to listen to both candidates than other states that already have who they chose. These swing state voters are going to decide the election fairly. They are also recieving the most attention and information from the candidates, so when one of the candidates become president they know what that candidate is goignt to do for the united states. Large states stes get more attention than small states since they are most likely to get more electoral votes and help the candidates win.
Also the electoral college system makes sure there are no run-off elections. Run-off elections are elections where no candidate wins a majority of votes. This leaves leaves pressure. For example, if there was no electoral college system if Nixon and Clinton were in an election and were running against each other it would lead to a serious problem. Since both men had only 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, it would be hard to choose a winner since they were both tied.
Now you see Mister Senater, why we need the electoral college system. Without it everything willl be really stressful and everythings already stressful. Dont make it worse. | 2 |
Today there are programs like NASA that are always looking for ways to explore our planets next to us. We have already sent probes and rockets to mars for exploration, but in over 30 years we havent sent one space craft to Venus, despite it being called "Earth's twin" Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of size and density, but it is the one of the most inhospitable planets that humans can step on. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author supports his idea well by explaining the benefits of exploreing Venus despite it being so cruel for humans to walk on.
In pargraph three the author quotes that, "almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus, surface temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater then what we experence on Earth." The author first explains the inhospitably of Venus to then explain that when we adapt to the conditions there are plenty of benefits and knowledge to gain from the planet. In pargraph four the author quotes that "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." The author explains us the value of exploreing Venus to include the fact that there could be life forms we have never saw before that have lived only on Venus. Comeing back to how the author supports his idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it offers.
In pargraph five the author explains ideas NASA has that could eventually take us and machines to Venus. he quotes that, "a vehicle hovering over Venus would advoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way."
The author adds the quote in beacuse he wants to reinforce the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it offers. But he also looks at the downsides to hovering 30 miles above the landscape, citeing that from souch a high distance light cannot penetrate the dense atomsphere and that researchers can't take samples of rock, gas, or anthing else, from a distance. The author supports his evidence by looking at bolth sides of the problem and offering possible solutions to them.
He contunes in pargraph seven citeing other NASA approaches to haveing machines last longer on the surface of Venus. That if by useing mechanical computers and simplifyed electronics made of silicon carbide they can withstand the heat alot longer. In comparson to todays modern electronics which don't use gears and levers that can be built to withstand heat. The author cites this beacuse he wants the reader to know NASA is thinking of possible ideas of sending a durable machine to Venus, to withstand the chaos of the surface and send data back to people on Earth.
In "The Challenge of Exploreing Venus," the author supports his idea well that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. He first explains what the dangers are like. Then explains all the benefits of exploreing Venus. Lastly he explains ideas on how to overcome the challenges to send people and machines to gather data about Venus. In conclusion the author wants the reader to know the benefits of exploreing Venus are greater than the challenges and dangers on the surface of Venus. | 4 |
The face on Mars is not created by aliens. It is a natural landform just like the ones we have on earth. I understand that some people may think otherwise, but scientists figured out that it is just another Martian mesa. Meanwhile defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an acient civilization on Mars.
We have taken three pictures of the face and studied them intensly. It doesn't matter how much better the picture is because it is proven that it is a natural landform. As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size. So if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see that they were!
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. I really do not understand why or how people think that aliens created this landform. Why would they have done it? What would it be for? Why would they just make a huge, random, human like head? I do not know. You have scientists proving that this is just a landform and yet you still have people who doubt the logic. There will always be people who doubt the logic.
We took a picture on April 5, 1998. Thousands of anxious wed surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. No surpirse there. But even after that not everyone was satisfied. Skeptics said that perhaps alien markings were hidden by haze. So on April 8, 2001- a cloudless summer day- we took another picture. The photo was extraordinary. This photo proved a lot of skeptics wrong, but there will always be those people who doubt.
Nevertheless it is proven that the face on Mars is not created by aliens and that it is just a natural landform. It will always be a natural landform. Nothing else. I guess some people are just determined to make life interesting. And by all means life is what you make it. The face on Mars will never be forgotten of course, but without the suspician of aliens the face is not that interesting to many people. The face might be fun to learn about, but its not something you will remember throughout your life. | 3 |
Driverless Cars Are Coming
"Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore?" "Google cofounder Sergey Brin can. He envisions a future with a public transportation system where fleets pf driverless cars form a public-transport taxi system." Would you be for or against the idea of " Driveless Cars"
I am against "Driveless Cars." The reason I am against "Driveless Cars" is first, the amount of money you would have to spend to get a "Driveless Car". Second, the person wanting a "Driveless Car" will still have to do the amount of work you would do driving a regualar car. Thrid, if an accident occours , as if the technogly fails you would get blammed for the accident not the manufacturer because you caused it. The reason I am against "Driveless Cars"is because first, the amount of money you would have to spend to get a "Driveless Car." Second, the person wanting a "Drivless Car" will still have to do the amount of work you would do driving a regular car. Third, if an accident occours, as if the technogly fails you would get blammed for the accident not the manufactuerer because you caused it not the.
The first reason I am against "Driving Cars" is because the amount of money you would have to spend to get a "Drivless Car." If you think about it, the "Driveless Car" includes a "sensors, computers, maps, video cameras, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor." The amount of money for all those qualties listed above will be extremley expensive. You would have to pay more because of all the techinuqes, and of all the objects they conclude, then buying a regular basic car. Youre spedning more money then what you think you are. The company buliding these "Driveless Cars" are spending about "two hundred million dolars." You're going to have to give in, in some of that money that the company is spending to make "Driveless Cars". This is my first reason on why I am against "Driveless Cars."
The second reason I am against "Driveless Cars" is because the person wanting a "Driveless Car" will still have to do the amount of work you would do drving a regular car. In paragraph seven the author states that " This means the human driver must remain alret and be ready to take over when the situation requires." The situation would requrie - steering, acelerating, and braking themselve. Also you would still need a driver. wouldn"t you get bored? You may be prepare to take over if something occoured. You would still have to flash your lights if you wanted to turn. This is my second reason on why I am agianst "Drivless Cars."
The thrid reason I am against "Driveless Cars" is if an acciden occours, as if the technogly fails you would get blammed for thre accident no the manufacturer because you caused it not them. In paragraph eight the author states"Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers,passangers, and pedestrains safe, and lawmakers know that saftey is best acheved with alret drivers." Most states its illeal to test drive "computer-driver cars." If the "Drivless Cars" stoped working at an instant or if the technogly messed up and you hit someone it would be your fault. The reason it would be yoir fault is because you caused it, you hit whatver you hit. Not the manufacturer. So then again you would be paying more money to repair what you hit.
This concludes my argument for or aginast the develoment of "Driveless Cars" I am against "Driveless Cars" because first, the amount of money you would spend to get a "Driveless Cars" Second, the person wanting a "Driveless Car" will be still be doing the amount of work driving a reguar car. My thrid reason, is if an accident occours, as if the technolgy fails it would be your fault not the manufacturer because you caused it not the maufacturer. These are the reason on why I am against "Driving Cars." Now " Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore?" | 2 |
My position on driverless cars is that they should be used when needed not all the time. They are not as safe as people think they are for the fact that they cannot think for themselves. They will have to have way to many sencersto be able to try to keep every one safe. Safty is a big concern because of all the sencers that are there and one of them go out the othere sencers cant see that spot so if something were in that spot then they would have died.
Some people think smart cars are going to be the next big thing but i dont hink so safty and money are way out of the safty range at the moment and i dont think it is a very good idea because where are you going to get all the money to buy a smart car, I know i would not have enough money for that because i dont have money for a regular car at the moment because wll i just got my job. Just take a minute and think would you want your child playing on the street and this driverless car comes through that same street and the sencer on that part of the car is not working and it does't see your child and runs he\she over?
So in conclusion, Smart cars are not as smart as they seem. They will not be cheep cars to have and if they get themselfs into an accident think of all the money that you would have to
put into it to fix all of the damage that it would have caused itsself. Think about the insurence bill if it accidentaly kills someone because one of the sencers were out. I think that they would bee good to have if you are sick but not any other time i think it would be stupid to even try to have them but that is my opionion on the matter i just wouldn't buy one because i do not wat to be responsible for something tragic happening to anythingor anyone. | 1 |
I am Dr.Monroe, a scientist here at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Otherwise known as NASA. A very popular space agency. Twenty five years ago something very odd happened around around Mars. We had one of our spacecrafts (Viking 1) circling mars, and taking pictures of possible landing sites for another one of our spacecrafts (Viking 2). Later on, we found that Viking 1 had snapped a picture of what seemed to look like a human face. We were very excited to find out what this new finding was, but we later found out that it was just a Martian mesa. Very common around Cydonia. Only this particular mesa had very outrageuos shadows, that made it look like a face.
Though we have stated before to the world that this was just a Martian mesa, some people thought otherwise. For example, one day I was sitting at a coffe shop nearby where I worked with my labcoat on. On my labcoat, it stated my name, and in big letters, the word: NASA. Like I was saying, I was in a coffe shop nearby where I worked, and was suddenly approached by a young man in his twenties. He stood there for a while making sure that I acknowledged him. When I did finally notice him, he smiled, and said that his name was Stan. He told me that he noticed my labcoat and where I worked, and wanted to bring up the topic "The Face". I chuckled at his comment, and agreed to discuss the topic.
He sat down in the chair across from me, and we started talking. He brought up how he thought that we were hiding something to do with the face. I kindly replied that we weren't, and that we explained to all the news stories, and talkshows, that this "face", was just a simple Martian mesa. Even when I said this, he disregarded it, and continued speaking about how he thought that this picture of "the Mesa" was proof of extraterestrial life on mars. as soon as he said this I burst out with laughter. Tears were falling from my eyes, as I thought this was a joke. but, when i saw that he was serious, I immediatley stopped laughing, and apologized. i explained to him that the picture of what he thought was a face, really was just "the Martian equilavent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American west". At this time he then grabbed something from out of his satchel (which i hadn't noticed before) which looked like a picture of some sort. As a took a closer look, i saw that this was actually three pictures on one page.
The pictures that he showed me were pictures of " The Face" in chronological order from 1976 to 2001. He then said to me that that it was possible for alien markings to be hidden. I peered at him with a strange face trying to figure out why this was so important to him, but i answered his question. I stated that "The Face on mars was located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April '98- a cloudy time of the year on the red planet". even after this was said he shook his head with a tiny smirk on his face. I then grew annoyed at him and then pointed to the third picture taken in 2001. " Do you see here?" "In image three we used a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size. If there were anything else on this landform other than rocks such as alien markings, you would've seen it already." He stared at me with a look of stupidity on his face as i then had a smirk on my face. I was proud of myself for proving him wrong.
After our little argument, he quietly got up from his seat, shook my hand, said nice to meet you, and walked out of the coffe shop. I then realized the time and walked out as well, and went back to work. | 2 |
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is one of the best expirences of my life. I'm Luke and I am a Seagoing and had made lots of trips to Europe to help people. Its really fun. I have seen so manny cool thing on my way to Europe and in Europe. Plus you get to help people. In the book "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves' it states,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."
I wouldn't have become one if my friend Don Reist hadn't talked me into going to Europe. It also says in the story "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves", "when his friend Don Reist invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke couldnt say no. He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime."
You should become one! You would get to help lots of people, see really cool things, and you would be a hero to some people! What do you say? Are you up for it? I'm not going to lie, there are some hard things to it. Once I even broke my ribs and almost died by going over bored on a boat. It says in the story,
A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves, A small strip of metal along the edge stopped his slide, keeping him from flying overboard into the dark Atlantic. He was happy to be alive. But he couldnt work for a couple of days because of cracked ribs."
Even with that tramatic expirence I love doing what I do and I'm so happy I did and do it. Again I think you would like being one too, especialy if you like helping people. (I'm assuming most people do.)
You would see and do so manny cool things. It's not all work eather. In paragraph 8 in the story it says, "The cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time.
If you have some douts on if you should do it, takes some time and thing about it. It's a big commitment, but I hope you do it and I would love to see you in Europe or on a boat to Europe. | 2 |
Why venus is so big?
My article is "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" this article use logos (Facts) to explain more about Venus and the challenges.
Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star", is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. In our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun. While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely. Often referred to as Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. (NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. (NASA) is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified
electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested is a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere. Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the in sight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
I think, we have to innovation our technology because we don't know what we are gonna find out there, species, beings livings, or something else. We need to be prepared first. It's gonna be hard, if we go right now probably we die.
I think is interesting to explore more planets to find more beings livings, but some of the planets are gonna be hard to explore.

The Face on Mars
There is a great population of people who believe aliens exist and cause strange things to happen and space crafts to appear. Many people know that it is just science fiction and that there is no evidence showing that aliens actually exist. This has been going on for decades and the believers need to face the truth. They can belive as long as they want, but there is no evidence.
The Face on Mars was not created by aliens, but is a natural landform. Meteors and other space rocks strike the planets, and even the moon. Those can be a possible cause of the Face on Mars. With astronauts exploring Mars to see if it is capable of supporting life, the Face could be caused by the humans collecting large amounts of the planet and walking all over it. Aliens are nothing but a fictional character in the many Hollywood movies.
As humans with the sense of sight, we are used to seeing faces on a daily basis. We look at clouds and depict them as something we have seen before. Or a tree that looks like a face was made out of it's bark. It is understandable that you could see a face on Mars because that is human imagination. The Face is just a natural effect of what caused it to happen. Sure, we might not know about everything that goes on in space, but we do know that many people are interested in the fact that Mars may be able to suport life.
Scientist are doing everything they can to know more than enough about Mars. They have rovers and cameras to look at Mars from Earth and be able to study it without traveling all the way there. There are many photos and videos of Mars and what you might see there, but no aliens were found. Their equipment is high quality and no blurs or scratches could be seen as something it's not.
For those who support the belief that aliens roam Mars, they can invest on the discovery, but find it wasteful. The Face is just a landform and you would need evidence to support your alien claim. There are many photos that were taken over time of the Face and the differences could be because of erosion or asteroids. Many things go on in space, but alien activity isn't one of them. | 2 |
Venus is worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth due to it being the most Earth like planet in our solar system. Venus has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features to Earth such as valleys, mountains, and also craters.
If we were to explore Venus and learn more about it we could use it as a backup plan or Earth incase something were to happen to the current one, not to mention it can be crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel. But traveling to Venus can be dangerous. Not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus for more than 3 decades,97 percent of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, the clouds highly contain sulfuric acid, the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater, and it can be really hot, hotter than mercury even. But scientist in NASA are finding ways and building new technologies to study about Venus. For example bump-like vehicles hovering 30 or so miles above the landscape to avoid any unfriendly conditions by staying in the air. It would still be hot and the air pressure would be close to sea level but it would be survivable for humans.
Although it would provide a limited amount of sight, you would still have to chance to not only see but to explore safely and learn more about Venus. Traveling to study Venus will not only answer unanswered questions, but can come in our favors in the future. Yes, it will be dangerous but it will teach survival and give us answers. | 1 |
As the process of the new technology came out to identify human emotions the value of using this technology. The new technology has play a big rule to read student's emotional expressions exatly and perfectlyt. People are able now day to read other people emotional expression by nature and only by looking to other people faces.
In my opinion I believed that the new technology called the Facial Action Coding System is valubale to read the emotional expressions of students in a classrom and recognize their emotions, because can able to identify a student emotion if the student is happy or sad.
For example, a classroom computer colud recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored and then it colud modiy the lesson, like an effective human instructor. The new technology read students emotional expressions because it has improves accuracy in perceving the emotions of others.
To conclute this essay, the new tecnology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable and is the best way that canidentify human emotions as the new technology has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others. | 1 |
How would life be with less usage of cars? Some advantages of limiting car usage would be less congestion, another would be the reducing of smog, and it wil also curb the greenhouse gas emissions. Are cars a danger to the world's enviroment? "After days of near-record pollution,Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." People are trying to find ways of limiting car usage for the world's sake! People also having communities limit the use of car transportation to have to much car traffic.
To begin with, an advantange of limited car usage would be less congestion. If there was less congestion citizens could get to places without the risk of a car accident, the verdant streets of cities would be less crowded, and more space would be available for events such as parades, concerts, field days, and etc. A media trainer and mother of two said,"When i had a car i was always tense." " I'm much happier without the use of it." Without cars communities get more a peaceful sound. "As she walked the verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drawn out the occasional distant motor." But less car traffic isn't one of the only advantages to the limited car usage; there would also be less smog.
In addition to, The reducing of smog would also be another advantage of limiting car usage. | 1 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
The author says that Venus can be our nearest option for a planetary visit but
there are many challeneges to get to Venus, he says " Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size." he says that one day we can go to Venus if we feel like goign into an adventure but one of the dangers that the author mentions is that "The weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes . " This means that Venus is a planet full of danger
and that there are many things that someone can risk just by visiting.
In conclusion the author doesn't say many good reasons of going to Venus one of them is
that we should go to Venus because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimadating endeavors, but we can't just invest all the money in the project just because human the curiosity, with all the money that the program is going to invest in the project with can help people, we can make more jobs, businnesses
to give people the opportunity of having a job and having a bit of money on their pockets. | 1 |
By limiting the use of car usage the world can become a better place. The environment is cleaner, and people can become more healthy.
The gasses that are emmited from cars are very harmful to the environment and can cause serious problems. these gasses get stuck in the in the amostphere, which causes problems like smog in cities. in paris one day they enforced a partial ban on driving because of record breaking pollution the day before. This ban was 2 days and they finned all people with even number license plates. the next day they did the same to odd number license plates. Not only did pollution go down but also "congestion went down 60 percent,"(Duffer).
People are also effected in diferent ways if there was less car usage. People could get more exercise because they are walking more than they are driving. People are also more healthy because of the reduced aamount of pollution. One day a year in Bagota, Colombia people do not drive unless its a buisness or taxi. They say that this has helped people to become more active in outdoor activities. "Parks and sport centers have bloomed" (Selsky), in the city since this started 3 years ago.
the world could become a better place in the near future if the usage of cars is limmited. The environment could be cleaner, and everyone could become more healthy. | 2 |
The technology in the story they are talking about is a face reader. It till you how happy mad sed evey thing . The thing that gets me is why do we need something like that is not worth the money to spend .Why do you need something that would till you how you feel dont you know how you feel .
Why would you what something so every one eles could till how you feel i dont see were it would do any good any were its just a wast of time to .but on the other hand some people would just like to have one to till them how they feel that day and to see how others feel .
But as i see it i do not see a reason for or how it could help at all but thats just my openen over it but theres people out there thta would send the money on it and one thing i would like to know is how they could till how a painting is feeling . | 0 |
I am against the developement of "Driverless Cars." Although a driverless car may sound cool, or may change the world someday, there are some negatives that go along with the production of the car. Driverless cars would be an expensive thing to prouduce. It would cause human driveres to not pay attention as much as they need to, and traffic laws would need a lot of updating.
The car would not be completely driverless, in the text it reads "Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over..." With that being said, a driverless car wouldn't be the correct name for it. Another reason the production of these cars would not be a great idea, is the money. For the car to respond to the things it needs it would require massive upgrades to existing roads, which is not practical. Along with the road needing upgrades, the car would too. The car would need a whole lot of sensors, in the text it states, "The combination of all this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel." As if the human body is the best driver in the world, I feel as putting most of the control in the car would not be a great idea. To get cars up to the proper state they need to be would cost a lot of money.
In a driverless car the "driver" would still need to be alert when "driving the car." The thought of having a driverless car would make people think they can text, eat, play games, and drink while driving. Yes you say, "While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver," how reliable would those cameras be, they could easily go out, break, or mess with other signals.
The law is what is stopping these cars from being out on the road. Traffic laws are written in the assumption that a human driver has control at all times, not when there is an accident, construction, or busy traffic. Traffic laws can change frequently, but if these driverless cars were to become a thing, traffic laws would need changed abudantly. New laws would need to be set in place for liability in the case of an accident. How would you solve that? Who is at fault? The driver has control when it needs to, but the car is doing most of the work. The statement about the displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over, what if the driver can't get the displays to turn off.
In conclusion, the production of "Driverless Cars" should not continue. It will cost a whole lot of money to get existing roads up to pass an inspection. Along with the fact that the human behind the wheel in case need be could fall asleep, drinking, or texting and not paying attention could cause more accidents then needed. And finally take into matter all the changes traffic laws would have to make or change. It would be better to let humans driver themselves to where they need to be instead of some computer genorated car get me to my destination. | 3 |
If driverless cars were introduced in our nation would you use one, without knowing the risk it comes with? In the passage "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author represents both sides of the idea of driverless cars. The author gives many good representations of the flaws of driverless cars. I believe that driverless cars should not be developed and we should resort to our traditional human driver.
In the passage paragraph 9 it states, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer." This is a very good point when riding along in a driverless car we people lose our sense of responsibility. We are going to let a "smart driverless car" guide us our way back home instead of being responsible and actually taking the wheel instead of looking out the window the entire time. If the technology does fail who's fault would it be- a car or the person the car belongs to; Most teens get their drivers lisence and drive their car to work or school. Teens would have to be very responsible when driving making sure to not cause an accident and to follow the laws. Take away the ability to manually drive a car and what would teens do? Nothing they wouldn't have to learn to grow up and be responsible by following the laws and rules.
Another great point in paragraph 7 in the passage stated "none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." This shows that the idea of driverless cars needs to be greatly worked on due to the fact that they can't work on their own. If the technology of driverless cars is still young does that mean it is 100% reliable. If the driverless car is not reliable then why would we risk the safety of other people. In an event that a driverless car crashes and injurs someone else who's fault would it be? The technology of driverless cars have not even been tested in traffic with soley driverless cars. What we know now is from controlled test driving, and not from real life experiences. Driverless cars are just not reliable enough than the traditional person behind the wheel.
Introducing driverless cars to our nation is somewhat of a waste. In today's world people who drive, drive all the time to work or school....etc. One thing we dont struggle with in todays world is the need for driverless cars. As far as everyone knows in todays world "everything works." The introduction of driverless cars would solve no current issues arrising in our world. The people who can already drive safetly and with no issue would not need such a thing of driverless cars. The idea of driverless cars is just something our world today can live without.
In conclusion driverless cars should not be developed and should not replace our traditional drivers. They take away the ability to learn with hands on experience of the laws and guidelines our society revolves around. They oppose a risk to others not knowing if the technology in the car could suddenly stop working. And their is simply no need to introduce driverless cars in our society due to us having no need for them. | 3 |
Imagine your life if cars did not exist. You may dread the thought of living without them. Some people likely think it would be a hassle to get where you need to go, but it does not have to be. Other people may love the idea of a car-free life. Believe it or not, lowering the usage of cars has many advantages.
Vauban, Germany is a community that has given up their cars. The streets are car-free -- except for the where the tram runs. The residents might hear a car motor from the distance, and that is only when the pleasant sounds of wandering children and bicycle riders are not blocking out that noise. The people of this community live their lives healthier and with less stress from getting more excercise. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," says a media trainer and mother of two living in Vauban.
Over the past two decades, there have been many efforts to make cities better for walking, now planners use that same concept in suburbs. This approach places stores on a main street within walking distance rather than in large malls on a far-off highway. Transportation for America promotes new communities where people would be less dependent on cars. David Goldberg, an official from Transportation for America, says that since World War II, all of humans' development has been centered on the car. Mr. Goldberg believes this development will have to change and people will have to reduce their usage of cars.
On top of being a healthier population, cutting out cars would decrease the amount of air pollution. Transportation is one of the largest sources of carbon emission into the environment. In 2014, Paris had to create certain bans on driving in an effort to clear their air of smog. Paris usually has more smog than other capitals in Europe, and has even rivaled the amount of smog in Beijing, China, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world. Bogota, Columbia has made their own efforts to lower the amounts of pollution. The people of Bogota created a program in which people hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to get where they needed to go during a car-free day. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said a businessman by the name of Carlos Arturo Plaza.
Many individual cities have tried in their own ways to decrease the percentage of car usage in their population. Whether it be a car-free day, carpooling, or just people buying fewer cars, all efforts help decrease pollution, stress, and many other bad things. Traveling without a car brings many benefits to a person, their family, their community, and even the world as a whole. | 2 |
You can't always see how a friend is feeling or if they are lying to you about how they feel. This technoogy can Help kids who are always faking their emotions because they don't want people to see that they are upset about something. For some "tough" kids, they act as though they are big and bad so that they aren't the one getting picked on.
Just by a simple picture, using this technology can help children not fake their personalities.
It is unhealty for childen to think that it is okay for them to fake their true feelings. If they never let it out it can cause severe depression causing them to chang their eating and sleeping habits.
According to paragraph 7, just by smiling you can make yourself happy. Also, Acording to the Facial Feedback Thory of Emotion, moving your muscles into certain emotions will not only express emtion but produce that same emotion. By using your hands to put a smile on your face and leaving it there will send good feelings through your body.
This technology will help eveyone who needs this kind of help, as in needing help controlling your emotions. Highschoolers tend to need more emotional support having more responsibility and freedom. Technology has come a long way. | 1 |
In this article, they are explaining how technololgy is helping find emtions in pictures. In my opinion, I think it would neat to be able to think what a person is feeling in a pictue. They came up with this new software called Facial Action Coding System, that has promising application for a variety of industries. The Facial Action Coding detects exactly how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emtion. I personally think this tool would be vauble in all types of ways.
One of my first reasonings for this vauble tool is it could help teachers at school. A student could be looking down and not doing work, something could be wrong with him, and she could easily find out what the problem is by using this tool.
Maybe even a friend is super happy or even super sad but doesn't want to talk to you about it , with this tool you'll understand and find out. | 1 |
Luke Bomberger had crossed the Atlantic Ocean sixteen times for people who were affected by the war.One rainy night he had been working on the ship and the ladder was slippery and he had slipped and flew across.There was a opening he had landed there he was lucky that he had not landed in the freezing ocean.Luke's job was to check on the animals every hour he also had to feed and give bales of water to the animals every hour.Luke also had fun on the ship he had played lots of games with his friends he had made while he was on the ship.After the war there were hardly any food left in Europe.Luke had turned eighteen while heading over to Greece after the war to help on the ship that was in Europe.Luke had made nine trips while on the ocean.It was 1945 and many countries were left in ruins after the war had ended because of the shooting and the cannons that been in the war in Europe.Luke had a very strict boss on the ship so he listened so he wouldn't get put in the bottom of the ship.Luke had returned home he was so happy that he was back home with his family.His parents were happy too.One reason to join the program is that so if you want to be in the navy you can be on this ship after a month or two you return home and you have be 18 to join this program. | 1 |
Do you think you should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program? I think people should because it gives you alot of opportunities. People could visit places they have never been before, Some people may not have enough money to travel the world, and you may have family on the other side of the world.
In the Seagoing Cowboys program you would be able to visit alot of unique places. When you visit new places you are able to do things you have never done before. If you don't have a job, ther is a possibilty that you could find one in the place you are visiting.
Another reason you may want to participate in Seagoing Cowboys program is because you may not have enough money to travel the world. It would really nice to have a break from working and just go see new places. It could also be someones dream to travel and there would be a opportunity.
The final reason I think you should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program is because maybe there could be family on the other side of the world. Some people may really miss there family but they don't have enough money to visit them. So it would be smart to sighn up for the program so you could visit them.
These are some of the reasons why I think people should sighn up and participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. People could visit new places, they may not have money to travel the world, and there could be family on the other side of the world. So people should really think about participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 2 |
My opinion on driverless cars is that they dont have enough support and they are not something that is necessary for our society. I dont think we need driverless cars, because they would cause too many problems and be too much work to take care of. Driverless cars should not be a huge focus in our society, because we do not need them and we should be focusing on being more productive. We should not focus on driverless cars but rather on the safety of the cars and roads we have now.
Driverless cars could be more dangerous than the dangers we have now, revolving around the cars, traffic, and raidlroads all around us. We already have too many problems involving cars that we don't need to add any more. The people who are involved in creating the driverless cars should focus on making sure that the railroads are safe before trying to come up with anything new. I think that creating theese new cars is already to much work. It would involve creating the sensors, changing the breaks, and making new computer hardware and software. Theese things will not protect us from getting into accidents or having cars crashes which should be our main focus.
Even though they are taking away the concept of people having to drive the cars they are not preventing anything that could happen or that needs prevention. People may think that having a driverless car would keep them from having to do the work themselves. Whn really what would happen is that they would have to pay more attention to everything around them, which would cause even more work. The cars would need to supervised more than they do now, because they would be moving and need us to take on more responsibility in controling the car. This could end up not working, because the cars could end up going out of our control. Which could cause more problems for us. | 2 |
When I got involved in the Seagoing Cowboys program, it allowed me to do many things I had never done before, and go places I had never seen. If I hadn't of joined the program I would have had to stay where I lived and would've never seen the places such as China, the Panama Canal, Italy, Europe, and Acropolis.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy, I was able to see the other side of the story from people on the other side of the world. When I lived in America, al So, I joined in on the Seagoing Cowboy program, thinking that just maybe, I would be able to make a difference in this world. Having prior knowledge about what exactly "hard work"
I was able to get many things accomplished that other people in that program that normally people wouldn't be able to do. Besides just helping devastated people with their homes destroyed from the battles of World War two, I was also able to have unique adventures to places that you don't typically go to everyday. Besides from that, when I was on my second year of being a Seagoing Cowboy, I was serving as night watchman. I was making my hourly reports to check on the animals every hour when I had slipped on the ladder and I went feet first towards an opening on the side of the ship. Luckily, a strip of metal along the edge of the boat had caught my fall and kept me from flying over the edge into the dark Atlantic ocean. Altough I had a few cracked ribs from the inccedent, I was able to find some sort of fun to do while I was waiting for the animals to be unloaded. All of the cowboys decided to get together and play baseball and volleyball in the empty stalls where the animals had been. We also found games to do like table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and game helped us pass time. Not only that, but being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than just an adventure for me. It opened up a whole new world for me. I'm grateful for the opportunity. It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs. Being able to see this, I was able to recruit many international students and exchange visitors for years, and maybe, you will too.
With some background knowledge and determination, eventually you will be able to become a Seagoing Cowboy too. | 2 |
You really think that the Face was created by aliens? Well I do not think that. First of all there is no evidence that aliens even exsist. Second of all, there is no evidence that it was created by aliens at all, it is just a conspiracy therory. Also another example would be that it says in the paragraph that is just a landform. I believe that the Face is just a landform, like the ones on earth.
My first example that the Face wasn't created my aliens would be, there is no evidence that aliens even exsisted ever. There is no evidence in the passage but it is just a known belief that aliens have never existed at all, in the history of ever.
Another example that i believe would be that, yet again there is no evidence that the aliens (that don't exsist) even made that. For instance, in paragraph six it states," Although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact....."We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it." This example shows that even few scientist believe that the aliens created it. NASA still tried to prove that it wasn't made by the aliens that don't exsist.
My last reason I believe that the Face wasn't made by aliens would be that, the Face was proven to be just like the landforms on Earth, and we didn't shape those. For example, in paragraph twelve it states," What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West. "It reminds me most of MIddle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,"
says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."
This example shows that it was proven that the Face is just like landforms on Earth.
In conclusion, these three examples show why I believe that the Face was not made by aliens. It is just a landform, like the ones on Earth. There is no evidence that aliens even exist. There is no evidence that aliens created the Face. Also it was proven that the Face is just like landforms on Earth. I believe that the Face is just a natural landform. | 3 |
In 1976, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft captured a photo of what seemed to be a face on the surface of Mars. The Face on Mars caused speculation of alien life on Mars. However, the Face on Mars is a natural landform.
One of the reasons that the Face on Mars looks like a face is because of shadows that cause the illusion of facial features. A few days after the Face on Mars was discovered, NASA released the image to the public. On the image was a caption, which stated that the Face was just a "huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." These shadows that were noted in the caption can easily create the illusion of a human head.
Adding to this, the Viking 1's camera quality was low compared to what we have today. So, the picture isn't all too clear. Every pixel in the clearest picture captured by the Viking 1 covers 43 meters. That's a low resolution compared to other spacecrafts that have photographed the face. One of these spacecrafts is the Mars Global Surveyor. The Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time in April 5, 1998. When the spacecraft flew over Cydonia, Michael Malin and the Mars Orbiter Camera team took a picture ten times clearer than that of the Viking 1 picture. When the picture was released to the public, it revealed a natural landform. The Face on Mars was nothing more than a rock formation.
Although the pictures were clear, many people say that the pictures taken by the Mars Global Surveyor are unreliable due to them being taken in 1998. The reason for this is that, in 1998, it was winter where the Face was located, which caused a cloudy atmosphere. The Mars Global Surveyor had to peer through the clouds in order to see the Face. This led to many people not being satisfied with the pictures taken. Many skeptics said that the alien markings were hidden by the clouds. The claims that the skeptics made were refuted, however.
On April 8, 2001, the Mars Global Surveyor came close enough to take a second look, and pictures were taken. On that day, there weren't any clouds due the season being summer in Cydonia. On top of there being no obstacles to obscure the vision of the camera, the picture's resolution was at the maximum it could be. Each pixel spanned only 1.56 meters, compared to the Viking 1's picture. The picture revealed the Face to be a landform, just like the other pictures that were taken after the Viking 1 picture. The landform turned out just to be the equivalent of a butte or mesa, which are common in the American West. These landforms happen to be very common in Cydonia, which is why scientists came to the conclusion that it was a mesa before they had even taken more photos. The only difference between this mesa and another one is the shadows it casts, which causes the mesa to look like a face.
In short, the Face on Mars isn't a sign of alien life. Although it looked like a human head, it's really just a mesa. The Face on Mars is just a natural landform. | 4 |
Luke enjoyed the life of being a seagoing cowboy but he thought it would be even better if more people had the opportunity to be a seagoing cowboy. Luke thought that the adventures and the different places were awesome so he convince people to become a seagoing cowboy. As soon as he got onto land he started telling everyone about all the fun and all of the adventure. Soon he ran into a man named Stuart and started telling him all about the mystery, excitement, and the fun that came with being a seagoing cowboy.
"Imagine it" said Luke "going places you've never gone before, doing thing you've never even heard of, and lastly seeing sights you've never seen before." Stuart thought about it for a moment and then he decided to become a seagoing cowboy. Soon enough Stuart, Luke, and many new members were looking for places to go and people who wanted to join them.
Soon enough there were so many members that not only were there a couple groups but a lot and it was all because of Luke. All the seagoing Cowboys liked the excitement and everything about being a seagoing cowboy. For many years all the seagoing Cowboys sailed the seas happily. | 1 |
There have been a few close calls during our presidential ellection over the past decades, but it doesn't mean it's enough to scratch it out and throw it away. We should keep the Electoral College for many reasons, but mostly to keep chaos from happening.
To begin with, the Electoral College has been the method we have used for years for choosing our next President, so why would we change it now? Well, the answer is we shouldn't. It may seem like a good idea at first to change to the election by popular vote, but here's the problem. A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible, but less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. The Electoral College is what helps the candidates from winning from a landslide. The Electoral consists of 583 electors and a majority of 270 electoral votes is reqquired to elect the President. So even though some may say you're not choosing your President, you're actually helping to chose your President. When you vote you're actually voting for an elector that will (most likely) vote for the candidate to your appeal.
Furthermore, many people such as Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, and even the Chamber of Commerce have agreed to abolish the Electoral College. According to a Gallup poll in 2000, over 60 percent of the voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. Although, this all may seem like a time for change, isn't the Electoral College doing us a favor? "The Electoral College 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 Electoral College is a process, as a compromise established by our founding fathers, between election of the President by a vote in cCongress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
Last, but not least, the Electoral College helps with voting for President. "Each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee, and that trust is rarely betrayed." It is possible for the winner to win the electoral vote, but will not win the national popular vote. "The Electoral College requires a candidate to have transregional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president." "So a solid regional favorite has no incentive to campaign heavily in those states, that he knows he will will." Therefor, he will not gain any electoral votes by increasing his plurality in those states in favor of him. "This is a desirable result because the candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president.
All in all, we should keep the Electoral College because it helps balance out the nation's amount of votes for a good successful President that will help it's people. | 3 |
It's 50/50 because sometimes doing things like reading peoples emotions with some tech device that someone made could make. The person they doing to they could get angry or not trust them if it was a friend thta did that to them or. Then some people could like it they could like how they feel how there emotions really do apper on a device that can read emotions or show. The percent you got for each one and there is other things thta could read your emotion muscles and many other things like going to a mirror and try something that could show youn that emotion you have by making faces that could reveal your emotion. Thers many ways you could show your emotions but if a some tech device does that for you and gets that wrong could get people mad or just beleave it. There dosn't have to be no tech device to show your emotion you can find that out yourself your yourself there isnt any one other you be yourself don't a device do that be great and show the emotions you want to other see that your happy. | 1 |
Venus is often referred as the Earth's "twin", mainly because of its similar density and size. Its close distance to the Earth makes an easy planet to explore. However, it presents a challenge because of the conditions.
The author shows the study of Venus is a worthy pursuit because of its similarities with the Earth. Astronomers believe Venus might have been covered with oceans and contained various forms of life. It has other features that resemble those of the Earth, including a surface or rocky sediments and formations like valleys, mountains, and craters. Its proximity to earth makes it the nearest option for a planetary visit.
The author also gives examples of ways Venus can be explored even with the dangers it brings. The NASA is working on solutions that will allow humans to visit the planet. A vehicle that hovers over the planet will avoid ground's conditions. Temperatres would still be high at 170 degrees Fahrenheit, the air pressure would be similar to that of sea leve. There would be plenty of solar power and radiation does not surpass Earth levels. These are hard conditions that are still survivable for humans.
However, using a spacecraft as such does not allow for photographs, videos, or rock and land samples because of the distance. Consequently, researchers are working on innovations that will enable machines to last longer. The NASA, on its side, is working on simplified electronics made of Silico Carbide that are tested in a chamber that simulates Venus's harsh conditions, and have lasted three weeks.
Another project uses the old technology of mechanical computers, which played and imprtant role during World War II. Unlike modern computers, that are quick but delicate, these do not require electronics at all. Instead, they are made of mechanical parts that can be made to endure pressure, heat, and other forces.
Though a dangerous task, the exploration of Venus is worth the risk. The author thinks the challenge has value, because "human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors". His examples of similarities with the Earth and inventions made by researchers show that the mission should be conducted, because now there are solutons to the problems the conditios of Venus causes. | 3 |
New technology can be helpful to us. It can telll us when it is going to rain, it can tells us how long the Great Wall of China is, and it can even tell us about the would's population. There is no doublt that we have came along way from our acienters, but I doublt that we need a system that can identify our emotions. We do not need technology that can tell us student's emotions in a classroom, it would not make the world a better place.
The use of technology telling us student's emotion is useless, we do not need this in our world. We can easily use cameras to watch each student's reaction or emotion in a classroom, we abousloy should not spend billions of dollars on technology like that. The author states " your orbicularis oris tightens your lips to show anger", that is not a fact at all. Many people are able to to get angry without tightening their lips, they are able to hide their anger. The author also states that they have trouble describing each emotion, which means people could get confused if they are trying to read other people's emotion.
We should not spend billions of dollars on this type of technology, it is not useful to us. It will not make our lives easier, it would only complicate it our lives. We should be putting our time and money on technology that we do need such as making drinkable water or cars that do not use fuel. Those are technology that we do need. If we actually did want to read student's emotion in a class we could easily use cameras to study their actions and reactions in a classroom. We could also make them draw or write their emotions out. They could express themselves. We are not moving forward if we are using new technology to try and read student's emotions in a classroom. | 2 |
Dear,
Senitors
I Write to you about the Electional Colleges because, i beleive that it is fair to change it to which ever runner has the most votes will become president. I understand that each candidate running for prsident has his or her own group of electors chosen by the political party but it depends if they chose their electors respondsibly
Electoral College consists of 538 electors , but a majority of 270 votes are required to elect the president. Voters don't vote for the president they would have to vote for a a slate of democratic electors pledged to that person and if that person won they would go to congress and that runner would get that amount of electoral votes.
But if a tie happens the electrol vote would go to the house of representatives where they would have to decide who the president will be and senates would decide who the Vice President would be.
But in all my oppionion should be that who ever has the most popular vote will vbe prsedent.
Thank You ,

People in this day in age rely on using cars to get around. Some people dont have cars to get around so they use other resources like cars or buses .but truth be told not using a car is really effective way to save our natural resources . In vauban,germany only the upscale suburban pioneers , soccer moms and commuting executives had cars and so have a car to a lower classmen was just stressful to them."
70 percent of vaubans's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to here." when i had a car i was always tense . I'm much happier this way ," said heidrm walter , a media trainer and mother of two
" (rosenthal pargraph 3).
In 2006 vauban completed a growing trend,the united states to separate suburban auto use .that was called "smart planning". smart planning became effective and it started to happen . The upper class had a advantage ..money. the upper class got to have a nice cars because they had more money thena middle calss so this was good because that meant less wealth and so less cars then less polution and save natural resources .
"
all of our development since wolrd war 2 has been centered on the car, and that will have to change,"said david goldberg, an official of transportation for america
"(Rosenthal paragraph 7). american government is trying to make cars now so safe and afficient . there making cars that are electric to try not to use so much gas and start saving energy#the2k15resolution.
"
Diesel fuel was blamed, since france has... a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. diesels make up 67% of vehicles in france, compared to a 53.3 % avereage of diesels engines in the rest of the western europe, according to reuters ." (duffer 16) diesel fuels arre less used than gasoline so people really have no use in trying to turn big trucks electric because there is on alternative for diesel gas .
In conclusion,cars are less effiective to earth . so by wlaking or using gass less there is less polution and a good natural resource that we have .using diesuel gas is another efective way to use gas and cars wisely. | 1 |
I think that this new technology would be useful in school. It would help out teachers and the school corporation. Although this would be expensive there are more pros than cons.
This would help out teachers when it comes to what subject students are and are not getting. If the students are not getting the material this computer would most likely read that the student is feeling anger. The teacher would then know that the anger is most likely frustration and they can try and solve the problem. The machine would also be able to tell the teacher if the students are happy. This lets the instructor know that they are probably doing a good job and the students get the material.
These days you can never be too careful, even at school. With so many school shootings happening this year you can only hope that it will not happen at your school. That is where this machine will come in handy, it can let the counselors or the instructors know when a kid's emotions are 90% angry and need to go to the counselors office. This machine could help prevent emergencies before they even happen since it can get people the help they need before they do something wrong. This does not have to be the case with only anger it can also do this with sadness and tell the counselor when a student is depressed. This machine would help with the psychological state of the school and make it seem like a more cheery place.
The overall mood of the school would be happier if this machine got installed. There are going to be kids who are not going to be happy and just fake it anyway. But, in the article it says "Moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." This means that if students are faking happiness they will eventually start to feel happy regardless if they are faking it or not. Students in the school will be happier and the entire place will look more enthusiastic like a learning zone should be.
This new technology would be refreshing and help out schools everywhere. It would help out teachers and counselors know when you are not feeling right. It would be expensive but a lot of schools could use this and make a ton of use of it. | 3 |
I think that the author supports the idea because its good to find out about a new planet when we need to move form ours. I think taking risks for mankind is good because what will happen when our would is almost gone and we need a place to stay. I think we need to explor to because it will also help with knowing things and see if there are living things there as well. I think this because lots of sientits are looking at the planet and studying it and making all the obserations that they can make from just looking at it. I feel like when we do send things to that planet we are not finging anything else i think they ned to send people to that planet but be 30 miles away so nothing happens to anyone and nobody gets hurt or dies. Despite the dangers i think it is a very good cause. | 1 |
Hey everyone im a scientist from NASA and i believe that when aliens created the unmasking face on Mars.I've worked with NASA for over "Twenty years" and believed that the aliens did create the unmasking face of Mars.I have evidence that aliens did create the unmasking face of Mars."My evidence is one day i was working and we had a camera on Mars and we saw a shadow but it wasn't just your ordinary shadow, the shadow looked like an Egyptian Pharoh".My team and I created a film on the shadow that we saw, we also made books,magazines, and talkshows about the shadow.The name of the shadow was the alien artifact is what my team and i called it.I'll tell you something else about my work on the alien artifact it's not easy to target Cydonia.The most common are around the american west in the us."My team and I don't really fly over the face very often, my team and I noted".Thats the end of my story thanks for listening be sure to watch the film and read the book we would really appreciate. | 0 |
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursiut because of the fun and amazing discoveries. For example, life is full of risks and without taking some risks in your life, how are you living your life to the fullest? Somepoepl like to go on adventuries and explore things without thinking about the cost and the dangers. The same goes for this. Discovering something new can be exciting but also scary because you might never know what you are going to find. Going to space and learning about Venus might be fun but it also might be a one way ticket. You'll never know when you'rew going to come back to Earth.
" Striving to meet the challenges 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." This quote from the text is explaining that finding out and learning the challenges of Venus can be fun but it will likely lead to something intimidating, something scary. " Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation," means that the travels we all take should not have any doubts and regret but happy memories and new knowledge. | 0 |
Driverless cars are an astounding idea that can be modified and fit to meet the needs of any individual. These cars in the future could help transport people, they solve more problems than they cause.
These futuristic automobiles coule help transport people. Say when you become old, too old to drive yourself safely, if you want to go out somewhere you just call up one of these driverless cars and they take you where ever you want to go. This also could help to prevent accidents like with long drives, if you fall asleep, no problem the car drives on its own and can prevent a terrible crash from occuring. If you choose to go out drinking and then try to drive the car brings you back home safely.
So in conclusion driverless cars are an intellegent idea. They can prevent drunk driving accidents and transport people who can otherwise not transport themselves,as well as stoping accidents from happening. There should be no question in if we should or should not have these advanced contrebutions in our society. | 1 |
My name is Luke Bomberger I want you the reader to join the "Seagoing Cowboys." The reason I would like you to join is because you cant take care of animals while we are transporting them across the Atlantic Ocean.
Another reason I want you to join the "Seagoing Cowboys" is because we transport food supplies,animals, and more. During the crossing I had to cre for the animals. They had to be fed and watered two or three times a day. Bales of hay and bags of oats had to be pulled up from the lower holds of the ship. Stalls had be cleaned.
On my second trip I served as night watchman. My job was to check on all the animals every hour. The cowboys and I played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time. | 1 |
Fellow citizens should start limiting car usage. It can help the world more by less population and etc. Many countries had tried this and they think its a good idea. I mean it won't hurt to try it out. It can really have a good outcome. There are some advantages to this.
To begin with, there are thousands of cars in the world and it keeps on increasing, we'll have less traffic is we start to limit car usage. This is clear in source 3, it says "In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams." This shows that people can use other ways to transport to one play to another, they wont have to use a car and there will be no taffic any where. Therefore, its better to have no traffic involved you'll get to places faster then usaully.
Additionally, people stress alot over things and walking can help you stress less. In source 3, it says "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower pollution." This says this can benefit for you so yould't have to overthink things. Therefore, walking to your jobs, school, stores and any where you want to good can help you release stress.
Moreover, less teens will be getting license so there will be less car accidents.
This is clear in source 4, "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009." This means that the less teens will get inyo car accidents which means the growth population will be increasing not decreasing. Therefore, the less teens get license the less accidents occurs.
In conclusin, there are many benefits in limiting car usage. Less pollution, no more traffic, less stress, and less teens will get their license. The more we do this the more we get use to it so we wont complain about anything. I urge you to stop using your car less because it will help you in some way. | 2 |
Dear Senator,
The Electoral College has been around since America was born. The founding fathers established it in the Consititution. Yes, there are some problems and concern with the Electoal College, but aren't there problems with everything in the world today? The pronalems can be fixed with some time and effort, and in my opiniion the Electoral College is more beneficial to the election process than harmful.
The Electoral College was created as a compromise and was agreed on by many. Some things people don't like about the Electoral College is that it's like a "winner-take-all" system, becuse then canidates don't spend time in states they know they're not going to win. But, with the winner-take-all system we will have a certain outcome with no disputes. This gives the canidate a landslide electoral-vote victory in a state. Also, the artice,"
In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President"
says, "There is no pressue for a run-off election when no canidate wins a majority of the votes casts; that pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential elecrion process, is reduced by the Electoral College, which invariably produces a clear winer."
Another concern with the Electoral College that people have is that voters aren't voting for the president, they're voting for the slate of electors, who elect the presodent. But, each party selects a slate of electors who votes for the party's nominee. We the people get to choose our slate of electors, so you get to choose who gets to vote for the president of your choice, which is fair. And, just because the canidate you didn't vote for wins the electoral vote, that doesn't mean they will win the national popular vote. For example, in 2000, Gore haad more popular votes than Bush, yet fewer electoral votes and we all know Bush still won.
The Electoral College also give "swing" states to play A HUGE role in the voting process. Most canidates focus their campaign efforts of the toss-up states, because the winner-take-all system. The swing states decide who the next president will be. They already know the states that they will get votes from, but the swing states are never consitant and always win someone the election. Also, states with a bigger population have more electoral votes, and by this the Electoal College restores some weight in the political balance by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate ddecreed in the Constitution.
All-in-all, The Electoral College has more positives than negatives in these situations. It helps us have a certain winner, avoid runn-off elections, choose who we want to win the election, and gives states power. The Electoal College was put in the Constitution, and so poeple like Thomas Jefferson thoughht it was important that we have an election system like the Electoral College. In my opinion, whe you weigh out allthe pros and cons about the Electoral College the pros weight out all the cons. And, if there was a different system there would always be problems with that. People always try to find problems with everything, and you can never pleas everyone these days.
Thank you,

I think that we should change it to populure vote, as in like who ever gets the most votes, but on a national scale, not on a state scale. why? well I realy would have to agree that an even number could cause a tie. Even if the tie was settled by the congress and senate there could be major problems. like for example lets just say that the last election was a tie, the out come of the tie would be Romney as president ( whitch would be good) and Joe Biden as vice president ( realy bad). and the reason this could be very bad, because of the fact that the two of them have very diferent opinions the two of them would probably be so busy arguing that they wouldn't get anything done, plus Joe would constantly be trying to get Romney impeached.
My second reason is becuse yes one of the guys who puts in our votes could put it in incorectly because of the fact that somone could simply bribe him or her to do so. The scary thought is that if one person does it and gets away with it then every one with lots of money will try, just like someone could try and bribe me to tell them what this test is on ( i wouldn't say unless it was well over $200 but no one I know has that much they would want to spend on a test so nobody has tried to bribe me).
So now my third reason is it would be prety cool to know that the next president could be decided by a single vote but that is even more unlikely than a tie with our current system. But it would be more likely that it could come down to a more probable minimum of around a milion.
Now that I have covered my three reasons I hope you have gained a more valuable view of our presidential election system and that will consider more carefully on what you will choose. | 2 |
Are you looking for a fun and awsome opportunity? Well you have come to the right place. Here at the UNRRA, we need help, your help!
Here at the UNRRA you can do lots of things to help different countires. Such as being a Seagoing Cowboy. Retired Seagoing Cowboys have a special message to you.
"Hi! I'm Luke. I am a retiered Seagoing Cowboy. It all started the day my friend asked me to go to Europe with him. In 1945 my friend Don(also a retiered Seagoing cowboy) signed us up for the journey. I know what you are probably asking, Luke what do Seagoing Cowboys do? We get on ships and help take care of horses and cattle on the way to countries in need. Being a Seagoing Cowboy is amazing, not only because you get to help people and different countries, but you get to see different places and things. For example, I have seen Europe and China form doing this. I have also seen the Acropolis in Greece and taken a godola ride in Venice, Italy. It does take a lot of time to be a Seagoing Cowboy, but it is so worth it. I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity. It made me more aware of people and other counrtries. I now host a number of international students and exchange visitors."
I hope you enjoyed that message from Luke. I aslo hope it inspired you to join the UNRRA. | 1 |
In 1945 world war two was going on in Europe. Don Reist invited Luke Bomberger to go to Europe. When they got there Luke and Don both sighed up to help with the animals that were shiped overseas.
In the story it said, in August 1945,Luke and Don bolth got there orders to go to New Orleans. Luke and Don arrived they day the war ended. the they went to greece Luke turned 18 before arriving at greece and Luke might be able to get drafted foe the millitary.
Accroding to the text, By the time Luke was drafted he had already made 9 trips the most of any seagoing cowboy. Luke was traviling from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern caost of the united states. Luke said it took about two weeks to cross the Alantic Ocean and a mounth to get to China. Luke was carring for the animals that were crossing and they had to fed and waterd two or three times a day.
the animals food had to be pulled from the lower holds of the ship so they could eat. Luke was prepard for this because he had to help out on his aunts farm.
Conclusion, On one rany cold night Luke was on watch to watch the animlas and he went to go tell the captian the report and he slipped down the ladder and had cracked ribs. | 0 |
Driverless cars both have good and bad aspects. I have reasons on why we should not have driverless cars. With driverless cars it makes people more lazy, accidents are more likely to happen, and a lot of people are not going to know the rules of the road as they should with driverless cars.
It is lazy to have driverless cars because people would feel since they don't have to drive they don't have to pay attention to the road. Also, most people will just sit there on their phones and chat and think that it's okay. No one will actually pay attention because of the fact that it is a driverless car, but they do still need to be driven by a human when it comes to specific complications. Such as, when there is traffic or certain road conditions. If people are not paying attention then how exactly will they know.
Accidents are more likely to happen with driverless cars. All drivers should be aware of the rules of the road. If the driver is not paying attention and the car is in need for a human to drive it is likely that the car will lose control and an accident can happen. That would make the roads more dangerous than they already are. That's why if there were driverless cars the driver still needs to have all eyes on the road.
For new drivers with driverless cars they will not know the rules of the road like they should. If they are driving a driverless car they most likely are not paying attention to the road and knowing exactly when to go, when to stop, and what the signs on the road mean. Without knowing the rules of the road it is hazardous for you and other people driving. If driverless cars are to happen everyone should still practice they rules, especially if the car is in need for a human to drive. That will make the roads safer.
In conclusion, driverless cars shouldn't be taken into consideration. It is hazardous and more likely to cause accidents. People should be very careful and know exactly what they are doing if there will be driverless cars. | 2 |
Car usage could easily help detoriate waste and pollutants from our air. If every person in the United States were to limit the use of their driving then most of he worlds pullution and green house gases would vanish. In Beijing, China, it's a common, everyday precedure to put on a medical mask to prevent "dirty" air into getting into their lungs with ease. If every single person on the planet were to reduce the amount of driving they had to do, if they started driving hybrids, if they began using cars that ran on vegetable oil or electricity, we could practically erase the damage that has been done to our ecosystem via pollution. It would take a while but I don't see why we couldn't attempt to make Earth a little greener.
According to paragraph 41 in article four, a quote, stated "A study last year found that driving by young people has decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009...." meaning that they had either carpooled or used a friendlier alternative to cars and the gaseous fumes they emit. If people were to start riding bicycles we could drastically change not only our planet and the ecosystem, but we could also fix our health.
Most American's rarely excercise and it's a common thing to be mildy obese to extremely and deadly overweight. We could easily begin a new generation of healthier teens and adults if we were to introduce healthy lifestyle habits whilst still at a young age.
Article one shows that a new study that has been developed has created a new town with fewer drivers and everything is available when you walk outside. Vauban, Germany has led a research team to see the impact that driving motor vehicles has on society. There are 5,500 people living in this "rectangular square" mile that "may be the most advanced expirement in low-car suburban life" if they could do it, why can't we?
Paris has temporarily banned driving due to smog. Article 2 has said that their French citizens would be fined 22-euro ($31) for driving/being in a car! Congestion had died down around 60% and it's said that the smog had rivaled Beijing, China, known as "one of the most polluted cities in the world." Diesel fuel has a large role to play in this, but maybe if one day we could find other resources to fuel our driving needs, we could restore this beautiful planet and its atmosphere to what it once was. | 3 |
Can you always tell if a student is happy or sad by the way he/she looks? With the new technology invention, we can totally see if a student is happy/sad. The use of the Facial Action Coding System is valuable in a class room. it can recognize emotions, it can recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored in class and lastly, it can create emotional communication.
First, the system can recognize emotions. It is not always possible for teachers to make correct assumptions on how the students are feeling. For instance, if someone finds out about how a student is feeling, he/she will have "Some trouble describing each facial trait that conveys, happy, worried." With the use of the facial action code in a classroom, a teacher can precisely tell how a students is feeling. According to Dr. Huang, " The software is the latest innovation from prof. He relied on work from psychologists like Dr. Paul Eckman to classiy the six basic emotions." This totally means that Dr. Huang was able to co-operate with some psychologists to precisely identify the different basic emotions. Sometimes students often show some various degrees of expression (like not smiling as broadly). "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements." In this case, we can conclude that the new technology can precisely identify a student emotion. For this reason, the use of a Facial Action Coding System should be allowed in a classroom.
Secondly, this new technology can recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored in class. Teachers can't always tell if a student is getting confused or bored in class. For instance, not all students in class like to speak up when they are getting confused or bored. With the use of Facial Action Coding System, a teacher can clearly see if a student is getting confused or bored. According to the article, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." After recognizing, "It could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." In this case, we can see that the Facial Coding System can recognize when a student is getting bored in class. For this reason, the use of Facial System is valuable because teachers can not always recognize when a student is getting bored in class.
Lastly, the Facial Coding System can create emotional communication. It is not always possible for your friends, teachers or a family member to know how you are feeling. Your friends might sometimes be able to tell due to how you look, but they can't deeply tell what's the problem with you. According to the article "Most humans communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. Computers need to understand that too." It also says in the article that the system can even indicate "The diference between a genuine smile and a forced one." These systems can also comuunicate by describing the type of smile you have on your face. For instance, in a false smile, "The mouth is stretched sideways using zygomatic major and different muscle." According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, "Moving your facila muscles not only expresses, emotions, but also may even help produce them." In this case, we can conclude that these systems are valuable and beneficial in classrooms. For this reason, the use of a Facial Coding System is valuable in a classroom.
In conclusion, the use of a Facial Action Coding System is beneficial in a classroom. The system can recognize emotions, it can tell if a student is getting confused or bored in class, and lastly. the system can create emotional communication. With this invention, a teacher does not always need to ask a student about how they are feeling; he/she can precisely tell by looking into the the Facial System. | 4 |
The computer software is in schools would be a great thing for many different resons. The software could help the kids become more in volved in lerning,
It can release some stress on kids, and it can help its over all better grades within the class. The computer software can help people not just students in many ways.
First the computer software can help kids stay more interactive within school and help them stay focast at there task. with this software the computer can tell if you are getting board or unhappy, it will try and swtch things up to keep that student more ingaed in there work. This would make students enjoy learning and make them more focased at there work.
Another way the software can help is better grades when a student is more involved in school and enjoys learnign becaseu of how it is being taught will help grades rise. like it says in paragraf 6 ,"then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." this showing that they can help students get more out of thre learning. meaning better schools to choose from when it comes of time. when your grades go up then your gpa then you will hopfully fined a good school when it comes of time. and this software can help you bring up your grades becaseu it hellps yoiu enjoy school more and teaches you in differnt ways that you like better then when you have a teacher and helps you get the best out of what you have learned. When you understand it releases stress and then you day is better.
A third thing this software can do is not just for students what about for people who sit at a office or what about people who work with computers this software can help them be more profincent and help them do better at there job and can help them get payed for somthing they like and do somthing that they would want to do. They would have a better emotion threw out there day.
All in all the software can be very usefull for students and people to make there days a lot better and have better emotions threwout there day and improve there days in all and this software is a great thing that should be implomented in everyday life to help everyone have better emotions. | 2 |
As the idea of a car operating without the assistance of a driver has become more popular, more and more companies have stepped up to create such vehicles. While there are many beneficial outcomes of innovating these cars, there are, however, many concerns that have arose around the idea. Because of safety issus, potential conflicts that could form between companies and clients, and development complications, the production of smart cars will not be as successful as designers are hoping.
Technology tends to fail, and when that happens, safety can be greatly affected. In 'Driverless Cars Are Coming,' the article mainy focuses on how the smart car's future is continuously being pursued, but also points out that there are several safety concerns. For one thing, smarter cars need "a whole lot of sensors." While technology is improving, problems could always potentially arise in the proficiency of the senors, which could then lead to crashes if the driver is not paying well enough attention. While the idea of a computer-run car being scary to people is enevitable, it is in fact a problem that some consumers and lawmakers might not overcome.
Because the smart car is evolving to the point where drivers only have to be in control about 10% of the time, it is probable that issues between manufacturers and consumers will become more popular. "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" With this question in mind, these problems will likely lead to an increase of accident cases and plain confusion.
Even if the safety of smartcars and liability issues are improved and sorted out, the introduction of these vehicles will take a lot of work. Manufacturers are currently developping cars that can operate on current roads, but with the increase of their usage, many changes will have to be made to the streets of today. Some designers have tried to make smart-road systems, that have actually worked well, but "they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expenseive to be practical." Additionally, it may be some time until smart cars are safe enough to even be legally driven. Only 3 states, along with Washington DC, have legalized their usage. These obstacles will further complicate the future of the cars.
Smart cars today are undoubtfully improving and have a growing popularity. Unfortunately, a great number of downfalls to developping such a technology cloud the vehicles' future. With concerns of safety, accident liability issues, and development obstacles, there just might be too many faults to make the smart car dream a reality. | 3 |
The challenge of exploring venus is dangers to study. They should not do that challenge of exploring, because that is really dangers. That could hurt people and it can kill you. The author is tell not to do it. Author explain what happen there and what inside there.
That venus is really hot thing. The venus have carbon dioxide. Venus hae 97 percentof carbon dioxide. Then there other thing that can hurt us which is acid. The acid is not normal thing what we used. The acid is really highly corrosive sulferic of acid.
Venus is really hot place, it almost hotter then sun.The venus temperatures average is over 800 degrees. 800 degrees is hotter then what we have in summer, 3x hotter then what we have in the summer. Venus is powerful pressure. The atmospheric pressure is 90 time greater powerful.
The conditions far what humans encounter on earth. It could diving the deepest part of oceans and can happen metals liquefy. Not only that can happen, also notable because venus is the hottest temperature of any planet in solar system. That why author try to stop people to go by and study for it. Then he told us it dangers just because all of that. | 1 |
In my opinion the Facial Action Coding System technology is a great valuable and reliable application for students to get into, I say this because not only does it sound smart, but Dr. Huang gives much details about the invention and explains how the model works when recognizing emotions. Dr. Huang sticks to his topic of the Facial Action Coding System, he has predictions about it as well by saying that "it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor, also gets into human and emotional communication. The 6 types of basic emotions are also discussed in this article and they're happiness, suprise, anger, disgust fear, and sadness. Although many are associated with facial movements which are the types of feelings and the type of reaction someone gives when feeling these types of ways.
Dr. Huang gives more brief discriptions of this technology by explaining how humans perform the same impressive "calculation" every day then after supporting his claim he gives examples to inform humans about the technology. Dr. Huang wants to make sure he is doing his best on explaining the theory of emotions and the information explained is a perfect example to set to intrest and to make sure these are valuable. These are the many reasons why I am for the value of using this technology to read students' emotional claims.
These theory of emotions could work for some students and not work for others, I say this beacuse there are different types of people in the world with different types of situations in life. Although Dr. Huang technology sounds great it might not be the best option for every student, but he still makes a great administrator and a great leader to me in my opinion. This technoology sounds like an amazing experiment to have and try, so this is why I am all for the value of using technology to read students' emotional expressions. | 2 |
Advanatages of limiting car usage is very benificial in some cities across the world. According to the New York Times a city in Germany by the name of Vauban streets are completely car free due to high expensives of owning a car. Street parking, drive ways, and home garages are forbidden in this district. In paris, cars were banned on the streets because there was to much smog on the streets which is pollution. Nearly four thousand drivers were fined during the period because they didnt follow the rules. The smog cleared the same monday so the ban for odd-numbered drivers was uplifted. According to the passage Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota by Andrew Selsky. It claims that the city that layes in Columbia bans cars for a day and the only things that can be out on the streets are buses and taxis there is no exceptions for other transporation use but i mean od course you can walk and ride bikes. It caused for people to move toward a new goal and thats to keep the world clean. Sidewalks have been remade and now theres 118 miles of bicycle paths in Bogota. Parks and sports centers also have bloomed around the city. Here in United States me people are looking forward to a cleaner world also. President Obama ambitious goals to the curb the greenhouse gas emmissions were unveiled. Less people in the United States, are using cars- some people think because cars interest has gone down but others think becuase more people are unemployed theres no need for them to have new cars when they cant even go to work. Less cars on the streets will lead to the better and cleaner world. Were billions of people live, play, and gather togethor. All these stories are going towards the right direction. Less polution in the world mean healthier and better lifes. | 1 |
I disagree a little bit that there's gonna be driverless cars in future. I know that there will be more electric cars to preserve more gas.
There are advantages with driverless cars. There will probably be less accidents, have less careless drivers out in the streets. It'll have sensors to where if someone backs up to something to close the car will automatically hit the brakes. Driverless cars will probably have a better and engine and suspension system. But i just dont think that driverless cars are gonna do the trick because what if the car breaks down out of nowhere and you cant start it back up or what if you have to drive manually and the steering wheel doesn't work? What are you going to do? I would prefer more on electric cars than driverless cars because you wouldn't have no worries about gas money or anything like that.
But I would probably go more towards elcetric cars to save gas because driverless cars you would still need gas money . | 1 |
"Driverless Cars Are Comming". Really?, driverless cars? That just sounds bad by its name alone. Just by hearing the name I could only imagine the unnecesary tragedy's that will take place if this foolish expiriment continues. Driverless Cars are not at all what we need in this world, I dissagree with the Google cofounder, Sergey Brin, who invisions this. In my opinion I dont like the idea of it at all but I actually have several facts and resons why this "vision" of Brin's should not be continued, and will show you what mess this could all really become.
First of all lets say they do make the driverless car, but when it comes out and some people dont want to buy it how will the mechanical cars act around those undecisive people who dont know where they are goingor turning? Also how will they know what to do with those drunk drivers or those people who fall asleep on the wheel of regular cars? People now these days have accidents because of those reasons. When the other driver not drunk or not tired is fully aware of whats going on but is just to slow to react. So do we really think a machine will "allert the driver" when its there time to drive on time when that drunk driver is going fifty miles down the main road?, dont think so. There are so many inevitable things that are bound to happen if there is no driver in the car.
Secondly the cost of all these tests, sensors, and brakes are all a waist of money and time. they talk about the car being able to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids but it took ten years! Yes I said ten, outrageous huh? Instead of fantasizing over "a car he forsees to use half the fuel of today's taxis" he could've been finding ways to make the car today use half the feul it does within those ten years, no blueprints for a whole new model or anything like that.
Lastly the law doesnt even think its safe for the crazy driverless cars to be driving around endangering the citizens of America like you and me. The only places in the U.S that allows Brin and his team to use thier dangerous cars are in California, Nevada, Flordia, and the District of Columbia. Isnt it the law thats keeping us safe? Then why is it that only four places in the U.S lets them test the cars? Four out of fifty states...seems to me like the law is telling us that they dont want these dangerous driverless hunks of metal on our road hurting us citizens.
This whole driverless car thing is a total waist of money, time, and work. They could be working on a way to make better adjustments on the car we have today that took so long for us to make (and still perfecting till this day). Its obvious that these driverless cars are just to big of a dream to make reality, next thing you know driverless bikes will be made or mailboxes that shoot leaders to the post office for you, or how about groceries that fly to your house! This is just an effort to make driving easier but driving is already helping us get to places faster then walking is,A lazy tactic I would say. The law says no, science says no, and I say no. Driverless cars are just not practical ,I would rather drive, and I bet most of America does to. | 3 |
Yes I think the use of this technolgy would be helpful in the class room on so many diffrent levels. If sombody is sad or is angry you could help them out with there work and also solve the problem to make them happy. If you pu this technology in class rooms you can show if somboy is lying or is telling the truth. Say if you told the teacher that you where thgreatend but really you where not they would more than likely to belive you. So if you had the technolegy in the class room you can show that you where lying so know body would get in unneseary truble over somthing that you said. If you had the technolgde in the class rooms or in the hall ways you can watch out for peolpe who have a anger prolbem you get vthem help or if sombody said that they where going to shoot up the school you could stop harm before the person hurts anybody in the school. That is why i said yes we should have it in the class rooms all acroos the world and there would be less harm done to students and teachers and people would make the world a better place if they are only shown good things then they might not do bads thing to the world. That is why I said yesbut allso you cpould make people worse if they tried so hard to hide it but you keep trying to pull it out of them but it might work. | 1 |
There are many things that could go wrong with the way we the United states are voting now which is why we should use election by popular vote. There are many reasons why we should switch to popular vote but there are three that are most important. The canidate wouldn't have to worry about losing even though he won the popular vote, it would be less likely to get a tie, and the canidate would have to campain in every state because there wouldn't be a winner-takes-all situation.
Most importantly the canidate wouldn't have to worry about losing even though they received the popular vote. The reprsentative electors have the final say in who is elected because they are the ones that put in the votes. An example of this is Al Gore back in 2000. According to some polls Al Gore lost the election thanks to the electoral college because he won the popular vote but still lost the election. Al Gore had recieved more individual votes than George W. Bush but still lost. Geoerge W. Bush had 271 electoral votes to Al Gore's 266. However, this is not the last time this will happen and voters can expect to see it happen again in the future were the popular vote winner loses the presidency.
Not only can they win the popular vote but still lose the presidency, they also risk the event of a tie were the vote would then go to the House of Representatives. In the event of a tie meaning that each canidate got an equal number of votes from the electors the House of Representatives would have the oppurtunity to vote for the president. This is not a fair system in any way because that would mean the representative for Wyoming who is only representing 500,000 thousand people would have as much say as a representative from California who is there representing 35 million voters! There has been many close incidents of a tie so it is possible for this to happen. In 1968 a shift of 41,971 votes would have put the election in a tie. In 1976, id 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 in Hawaii would have voted the other way then the race for presidency would have gone into the hands of the House.
Furthermore the canidates would have to campaign in every state because there wouldn't be winner-takes-all which means the winner of the electoral votes gets all the votes within that state even if some of the residents did not vote for that party. The canidates would have to campaign in every state rather than just the "swing" states which are people that have not yet decided which way they wanted to vote. the cenidates dont campaign in a state if they know that they have no chance of winning the electoral votes in that state. During the 2000 election a remarkable seventeen states did not see the campaign one time nor did the people in the 25 largest media markets see a campaign ad whether it be on t. v., in the newspaper, or over the radio. If the president was elected by popular vote than every state would be considered a swing state.
In conclusion the President of the United States should be elected by popular vote because a canidate would not have to worry about winning the popular vote but losing the election, the possibility of a tie would decrease, and the canidate would havw to campaign in every state. These are just a few of the many reasons that we should switch over to a popular vote system, plus who wouldnt wan't to have a little more say in who runs our magnificent country. | 3 |
I feel like i would have to go against driveless car. Because i feel like there is way to much danger within them. Not just for the driver but everyones else in and around the car.
Im against the driveless car for multiple reason. First off what if the designer or constructor of the car over look something in the making of the car and the drivers seem to lose control and the car start crashing everything around it ? That could put a lot of lives at risk over one mistake. they just think that a car can adapt to roads so easily by having radar and signals but it not enough, i feel like it should have like a voice to read back what up ahead the road and around our surrouding keeping us up to date with every movement.
But then again i kinda agree because our technology are getting more advance every hour of the day in the world. they have alot of good uses like when your in a traffic jam the car can handle driving up to 25 mph. Plus they can detect stuff around them with their radar and cameras. but i don't think it just quite right yet.
that is why i disagree with the driveless car. We might have the technology for it and stuff, but i fee like there much more to get done with it. so with that i disagree once again. | 1 |
I disagree with this technology. you can make all kinds of facial expressions it doesnt mean there is a certain face for one facial expression. We are all human but we arent same that is what makes all unique we have different faces for different expression. This technology that is being used is not going to tell you everyone is mad or sad, happy, angry. I dont have the same mad as someone else would so what i make one face and im mad? it could just be my face and the way i look and your gonna tell me that i am mad when you really dont have a clue. We cant tell if someone is mad or sad, depressed or even happy they have those feelings themself and sometimes people dont want others to know if there upset so then your just invading there privacy. That could just make things ten times worse than what it already is. There are things we want people to know and that we dont want people to know and its our decsion on whether we want them to know. So yes i disagree with this facial expression technology i dont think we should be invading others privacy that way i think we need to have way more respect for others than what we do now. | 1 |
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because although studying planet Venus is diffcult right now, we might have a chance soon in the future to get a spot of it really close.As a we all kmow right now, the author gaave us some facts about venus to support hi idea on Venus, planet Venus is the second planet away fro the sun, makinging it one of the hottest planet. Venus also is covered in 97 percent in carbon dioxide. Venus is also close to Earth just like Mars. Despite some of the problems of Venus, Earth and Venus are quite alike.
Planet Venus actually has about the same size and density of planet Earth, which it not only does it make scienctist interested but if gives many an idea of human life on Venus. The author supported his idea by giving examples, just like Earth Venus has physical feature just like earth such as valleys mountain and craters. Scentist believe that long ago planet Venus had living organisms like ocean and land just like earth on venus and despite its dangers, scentist can find a way to work aound the dangers. Some of the dangers are erupting volcanos, powerful earthquakes, and lightning.
The author includes scentist are now finding a way to avoid these problems but first they must find a way to keep studying earth but in a more efficent way. For now scienctist are studying on how keeping devices on Venus for a long period of time, but because of its heat and little energy that they have in Venus, its diffcult to find the right solution. The author supports his idea of worthy pursuit despite of the dangers because he includes the dangers and the possible living on Venus. | 2 |
Is it or isn't it? I think that it isnt. There are too many reasons why it is just a landform and not a human. For example it says "A few days late NASA unveiled the image for all of us to see. The caption noted "huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head" this is why I think it is a landform.
Another reason I think it is a landform is because as we got closer to the ground of Mars is got clearer and clearer. It came out to be a mesa. In the 70's they didn't have to best cameras so it looked a little blury and came out to be a face.
As cameras got better and better it became clearer and clearer. If they were to do it today they would really see what it was. The text says "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size," he added. "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!"
This means that it was proven that it was a land form. If it was a human or a living creature we would be able to tell. Some people think it was a conspirasy. I think it was because if it wasn't we would still be looking at it.
So people can think what they want but I think it was a landform. Is there life or Mars? If there is will we ever know? | 2 |
Dear President of the United States,
I think you should change the whole "
Electoral Collage
" and have election by a popular vote instead. It would make much more scence instead of the whole Congress blah, blah, blah, and stuff. I mean I know that this was created by our Founding Fathers and should show respect, but popular voting won't take as long and much faster too. It states that in the article on paragraph 3, the first sentence , "
The Electoral College consists on of 538 electors
". Thats a lot of people. But when people try to vote for you, they are actually voting for the candidate's electors.
"
Under the Electoral Collage System, when voters vote not for the president, but for the slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. If you lived in texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for [John] Kerry, you'd vote for the slate of 34 Democratic electores pleged to Kerry
" (
Par. #10, Sent. #1-2).
"
The Electoral College is what we might call a disastor factor. The American people should be lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in the century; the system allows much worse
" (
Par. #11, Sent. #1-2
). That is why I suggest making a popular vote in stead.
Sincerely ,
PROPER_NAME

Thats stupid because we would have saw them build it and it wasnt created by them its just shadows on a rock. we can prove that they did not make this because
we would have saw it with the sattlites. So please belive me when i say that this rock was not created by alines at all! okay so i heard someone thought there was alines on mars. now im going to be honest from what weve seen there is no such thing yes there may be life on mars but small life. Nothing big enough to build something like this.
The only life on mars may be bacteria Now please whoever is saying there are alines please stop. That will be all today proving another myth There is no such thing as aliens on mars. in the article it says that they were made by shadows bealive me when i say its true. If there was such thangs as aliens dont you think we would have found them by now? like honestly we have been looking for them fo years. and nothing trust me there is no alien life on mars. the face in the photo is even blury and doesnt look right this is becasue of sand and dust all over this. it causes an allusion to make u think that there is a face but in reality its not! the photo in 1976 people say its Not just a coquencedence there is a human face on mars. Picture this looking up in the clouds and seeing an animal its just clouds grouped together to make that image. Aleins didnt make that it happened naturally just like on mars.
now that i have explained that there is no life on maars people will now know the truth. And hopefully i dont have to hear about this again because all people are worried about is are there aliens if there were aliens i think we would have known by now.
And it says in paragraph 8 its just a haze please stop making excusaes for ther eto be alien life on mars! | 1 |
Mercury is closer to Earth's sun, yet Venus is the highest temperature planet in the solar system. This temperature has presented many difficulties trying to put a person on the planet. Landing someone on Venus has not been succeded yet. Many scientist and astronomers are working on creating a spacecraft that will hold together, although all of the dangers that are presented. In the text of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it shows many dangers and reason not to put a person on this planet, yet if they succeed the outcome would be much greater and rewarding. Studying Venus is a pursuit that should be taken. The outcomes of previous attempts to put a spacecraft on Venus have been unsuccessful. The previous trys have only survived a few hours long. It only takes one very thought out and well planned try to be successful. It would be a great place to reach and put living organisms on. Venus has many dangers although astronomers are trying to put a person on it.
Some of the dangers may seem unthinkable to put a person through but NASA is working on a spacecraft that will protect the person. They have so many advantages that are helping them succeed. The planet used to be covered in oceans and other forms of life. The text states, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." This shows that it has similarities to Earth and has water and used to have other living organisms. The danger of not having any water or being able to hold any kind of life form is not there.
The temperatures and the terrain of Venus are both dangers and good qualities. Although the danger of having such high temperatures around 170 degrees Fahrenheit the air pressure is around the same as Earth's. The text states, "At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth." This shows the air pressure would be subseptable for a human to land and be able to breathe. With the right spacecraft the temperatures can be avoided and would not be an issue.
Venus has similar terrain and weather conditions as Earth. The similar features include rocks, mountians, valleys, and many more. The text states, "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountians, and craters." This shows that the surface and ground are similar to Earth. This also shows great potential to land a spacecraft there. The extreme weather conditions on Venus is also similar to the ones on Earth. The text states, "Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent ligtning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface." This shows that the weather conditions are similar, so this would help the manufactures of the spacecraft be prepaired for the conditions and help build a better craft. Although there are many dangers with every advantage the Venus is still a good planet to try and put living organisims on.
In conclusion, the studying that is being done on Venus and the more found out the less dangerous the mission will be. The advantages are much greater than the dangers. If they are successful then there will be another planet for people to live on. The similar weather conditions is a tremendous advantage. There being water already on the planet and the possibility of living organisms being on the planet shoes that it is possible. The possibilty of something great over rules the possibility failing. If the astronomers give up and say that the dangers are to big then they will never know if the dangers were not defeatable or not. Venus has all of these dangers but is a worthy pursuit to put living creatures on. | 3 |
My position on driverless cars is very nutral. Like the passage stated there are a lot pros and cons when it comes to this topic, such as numerous types of road blocks like accidents and construction. When it comes to the diverless car getting to an accident people are confused on who it should be to blame the manufacturer, or the passenger. I personaly believe the passenger should be to blame, it doesn't matter how advanced the technology is something is bound to go wrong so you should always be on alert.
When it comes to some of the pros there are some strong ones. Driving will be a lot safer once a majority of people own a self driving car. There will be almost no accidents do to texting, falling asleep at the wheel, and drunk driving. Once we get to the point of almost everyone owning a self diving car they will most likely be eco-friendly. | 1 |
Arguing whether the use of the techonology to read the emotional expressions of stuidents is good idea and is it great techonology they have invented because now you can see how other people really feel and you would not think wrong, another thing is you can also tell how the other person feel about you. Even though i think this is a great idea, some people may not like it and feel offend by this idea because no technology or computer could tell how a person is really feeling. No techonolgy is hundread percent correct.
Using this techonolgy ti read emotional expressions of student in the classroom it is valuable because when a students is feeling down or depress you would know so you could help them. Another things not much students are going to like this becuase some poeple don't like to tell people how they really feel. They don't like public to know. So it will be embrasse to them. I think using a computer to read poeple emotional would not work on everybody it's not like everyone is willing to tell the public their problem or anything.
Using the techonolgy to read emotional expressions, some people will love it because it said in the article,
"You can tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Mos of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that appear" i agree with you can't actually tell how a person feeling just look the facial expression, using the technology it tell exacally how many percent the person is feeling so it would tell you how they are really feeling. As it say in the article "we humans perfom this same impressive "calculation" every day. Having the techonolgy in an classroom is not a good idea though. Why have a technology in a classroom when you know already how a student would feel about school.
I think these kind of technology would be useful to use in thearpy or pyspath hospital because you would know exactly how a person is feeling so you can help them and make them feel better. Having this techonolgy is a geat idea but it depend where you use and not a classroom. | 2 |
Dear Florida's Senator,
I disagree with the fact of having a Electoral College. I don't think it would help with the elections. I think it should go the most popular votes. The Electoral College is not giving Florida's cizitens, like myself, a oppurnity to vote for who would be right for our state. As you may know some people call the Electoral College, a "disaster factor" because of the way they handle and deal with the voting. More people would want to for is right and who would do good for the state. Someone who would listen to what is needed. Not someone who just wants to make everything worst.
But, in a way it is more helpful to organize it. Make the state better, also it let's each party select a slate a electors, who are trusted to vote for the party's nomine. Think about it... do you really think the electors would vote for who they are suppose to vote for? No ! They are independent, they can do whatever they want. But, the trust is rarely betrayed. The Electoral College lacks of democratic pedigree. Why is that? Because of cerainty of outcome, everyone's president, swing states, big states, and avoid run off elections. They all are practical reasons, not liberal or conservative reasons.
My point is, is that I truly disagree with the fact of having a Electoral College. You do have some good reasons for it. But, will it help the cizitens as a whole? You have to think out us out here in the real world, not yourselves. Help make the state better by, cutting off the Electoral College and going by the most popular votes that a canidate gets. It will Florida be a sun shine again.
Sinceraly, A Proud Florida citizen | 2 |
