The author supports his ideas by show and telling that NASA is working on other prouches to study Venus. In paragraph 7 telling use about how electronics played an important role in the 1940s. so more ideas of electronics would help the author study even more an get even more info about Venus. Dispite the dangers it presents if they make robots that have the mind set on studying Venus that would change the danger of othes and we will have more info of how humans will be in harm of. i just feel like that humans should have 2 planets and were more then capable of doing that so and the author has a point that our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by danger and doubts but should be expanded to meet the vey edge of imagination and innovtion. Thats shouldnt be a challenge theres so much value cause this planet will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavor. | 0 |
As a NASA scientist, I believe that the " face " on Mars is a natural formation. I dont believe that aliens could have formed this. During my work, I have discovered many different ways to make you believe that the face is natural.
The scientists that work with NASA, such as myself, have found many different reasons as to why the formation looks like a face. During our time photographing Mars, we have been equiped with much better quality cameras, which help us see things better on Mars itself. Over the years, we have discovered that when you use a higher quality Mars Global surveyer (MGS), the " face " no longer looks like a face. Still some people didn't believe us the first time we got photographs of the land mark, so went and did it again. This time, we made sure that there weren't any clouds that could default the photos of Mars. What we found out by looking at these photos is the the facial features are simply just shadows. Take the eyes for example, while photographed from the middle of the land mark, there is a shadow being created by the sun. From this angle, the sun makes the land mark seem as if it had eyes. The " mouth " is simply just a hole in the land mark, which looks like a mouth while photographed from the middle of the land mark. There is no way aliens could be the cause of a natural piece of land on Mars.
Now that you understand what the " Face " actually is, I hope you dont still think aliens were the cause of it. There is scientific proof that it is a natural piece of land that just so happened to form on Mars. | 2 |
Shuold we join The UNRRA
In this passage a Cowboy who rode the waves Luke was a seagoing cowboy. Luke Bomberger is his full name. There are many reasons why Luke Bomberger join the program to participate in the seagoing Cowboys. Luke was a awesome seagoing cowboy.
My first reson i think Luke join the program was because he got to take trips to alot of countrys to help animals. Luke thought it was fun being a segoing cowboy. Luke also found time yo have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. Another reason he join the program, because he knew it was a opportunity of a lifetime. Luke help other countrys with thier needs and to provide food.
My second reason why he wanted to be a seagoing cowboy is because he wanted to help countrys animals, and be a great man. Luke claims that the cattle boat trips were an unbelievalbe opportunity for a small-town boy", he says. Besides helping people Luke had the side benefit of seeing Europe and china.
My third and final reason is he made about 16 times he crossed the Alantic ocean,and pacific ocean twice. Luke And Don both signed up for UNRRNA (the united nations Relief and Rehabilition Administration). Don is Luke friend that help him to get to be a seagoing cowboy. Don Resit is his name he invited Luke to go to Europe on a cattle boat. It took them some time to take tips.
Inconculsoin This was a Good passage, I think it kind of wanted me to be a seagoing cowboy but only if i was in back in the old day. Luke was a great
seagoing cowboy he had the most trips of any seagoing cowboy witch was nine trips.Luke liked to help animals he also liked to help people get thier food and he sometimes provides for them witch he does anyway. Luke was Maybe one of the top best people of being a seagoin cowboy. | 2 |
Reading the emotional expresssions of students in a classroom is not valuable. It would be nice if we give the students some privacy maybe they can actually focus better. The reason why I think it's bad if we look at the students emotions is that we not giving them privacy to let them do what they want. If you give them a math test and they didn't pass the math test knowing the technologies is watching their emotions their going to be more nervous. A lot of students will not do good on their test. Their test scrore will decrease. Parents will be concerns abot their kids not passing their class and the principals will be in trouble. If only the technology where to help see their emotion on certain test and assissments their not good at and maybe the teachers or the consulors couuld help them do better on those things. | 1 |
A seagoing Cowboy is an amazing opportunity in life, but what is a seagoing cowboy and what are the perks of doing this? Get ready for this wild ride.
In 1945, World War two was over in Europe, but many people had nothing left. Then, 44 nations joined together to make he UNRRA ( the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration.) The Organization decided to hire "Seagoing Cowboys." Seagoing Cowboys were used to take care of Horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped over seas. The Cowboys had a important job and sometimes you got special perks of being a Seagoing Cowboy.
If you are over the age of eighteen and were being drafted for the military, this could count as you military service and don't forget about all the fun you can on board. After all the animals were unloaded many of the cowboys played sports, like baseball and volleyball where the animals used to live. There was also fencing, table tennis, boxing, reading, and whittling, and many other games. While you were working you could see Europe and China. But you could also take a gondola ride in Venice, or see the Acropolis in Greece and that is pretty cool.
In Conclusion, being a Seagoing Cowboys has its perks. So go out there and going the Seagoing Cowboys. | 1 |
The purpose of this passage is to convince the reader into why we should visit and learn about Venus. The author did a very good job of explaining the reasons on why Venus is the closest planet to Earth , however he did leave out a few important ideas. The author failed to mention cost, reason, and a plan to actually get to Venus. A trip to Venus has a lot of reprecussions that the author didn't explain.
The author failed to bring up cost on why we should explore Venus. He did so purposely because the astrinomical cost of making a trip to Venus is far greater than our need of another planet. The obstacles scientists and astronauts have to overcome sound very expensive. In the text it states that Venus's average surface temperature is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and that atmospheric pressure on Venus is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These 2 obstacles, around a 700 degree temperature increase and 90 times greater pressure than on Earth would require a lot of funds to overcome these problems.
The author talked about how Venus compares to Earth but never addressed why there is a need to compare the two planets. He did mention that Venus is Earth's twin and Venus could have provided life in the past, but he didn't talk about why we should be so concerned with Venus. According to the text efforts to travel to Venus were made, but never came close to working. The text states that no spacecraft successfully landed on Venus for more than a few hours. If we tried to travel to Venus and it didn't come close to working, why continue with this mission that seems impossible.
In the passage, the author talked about Venus and compared it to Earth. He talked about a few ways we have tried to explore Venus, but they didn't seem to work. He never talked about a possible plan to either live through the harsh conditions, or get rid of them. The text states that the author thinks that insight to another planet will benefit humans even though we have a .1% chance to live there. The author still wants to make a trip to Venus even though the dangers strongly outweigh the benefits.
Based on the information in the passage, I do not think we should even consider going to Venus. The immense cost, the lack of reasoning, and the failure of a plan in place leads to my conclusion that Venus is not a planet for us to worry about. The author is dreaming too big for reality, and leaving out crucial answers needed for a journey of this magnitude. The author backed up his points very well, but left out the main points of this discussion. | 4 |
Driveless cars should not be
In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author gives positive and negative aspects of driveless cars, but the negative ones stand out more. There are just too much negative aspects we cannot overlook. These driverless cars are too expensive, still need a lot of human assistance, and are not safe.
Driverless cars are too expensive, if we were to just have driverless cars then that would cost a fortune. Why would you want to spend millions of dollars on a car? The author says, "Radar was a device on a hilltop that cost two hundred million dollars."
These cars would be taking away millions of dollars and they cant garantee that it will be a good money investment.
Why would you want a driverless car if it still needs a driver? These cars still need a lot of human assistance to operate, wouldnt you get bored sitting in the car and waiting until it needs you? The author states, "They can steer, accelerate, 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" That means that you still have to be very alert of what is going on because the car might need your assistance, and that just proves how they are not driverless cars.
Driveless cars are not safe, why would you want to be in a car that can cost you your life? They are not safe for the driver or anybody else on the road. The article states, "...in most states it is illegal even to test computerdriven cars...If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the drver or the manufacturer?" The cars a re suppoused to alert you when they need your assistance but what if the flashing lights go out, or the part where its supposed to be alerting you fails? The government has not approved these cars yet so no one can garantee that its safe enough to drive.
Driverless cars should not be out in the road were they could cause harm. These cars are too expensive for no reason, they dont garentee safety and they arent trully driveless. The author might give some good aspects but the negative ones overrule, and one cannot overlook that. | 3 |
Hi, I am My'Ajah i am a scientists at NASA i am here to talk to you about the false claim about a face being on mars. At first i myself thought there was a face on mars me and my team thought it was very cool. And the attention we (NASA) got was tremendous, but we still had to look into it because if the world found out it really was not a face they could call us a fraud and we could lose much money.
So, me Henry and many other NASA scientists look into it and we figure out this is not a face, but if this is not a face what is it? That's what your thiniking right. We had to find out , "so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global surveyour flew over Cydonia for the first time,Michael Malin and his (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper then the orginal". Once we recived the photo from Michael and his team we dug in to see what this really was.
After months of research we finally found what it truly is a mesa for those who do not know what a mesa is a mesa is kind of like a landform made by dirt been blown by the wind. But, how did we know this was a mesa? Well "on a cloudless summer day in Cydonia----Mar Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look."we had to roll the space craft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view" Said Garvin. "Malin's team captured and extraordinary photo using the cameras absoulute maximum resolution." Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 viking photo". Many companies and people still belive that it is a face but, finally we have the truth! | 1 |
In this essay I will be writing a detailed argrument convincing enough for others to join the Seagoing Cowboys progam. Soon after his high school graduation, his friend invited him to join the program. Luke thought about it and decided to sign up with his friend after he realized it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Luke knew that it was hard work, but he learned about all hard work on his aunt Katie's farm. This all changed his life, but for the better.
Luke has gone to his first trip for Greece. While he is there he finds beautiful landmarks such as when he saw the castle in Crete and the Panama Canal. He had explored Greece, and seen the Acropolis in Greece. Luke has also taken a gondola ride in Venice,Italy. Bomberger has also had much fun on these trips where he and the cowboys played games such as baseball and volleyball when there was empty holds from where the animals were housed. They would also have boxing, reading, fencing, whittling, and table-tennis tournaments. Luke and the other cowboys got a lot more expeirence working with animals, especially barnyard animals. The "Seagoing Cowboys" sure learned a lot from these trips.
For Bomberger this has made him appreciate his life more. He has hosted many international students and exchange visitors for this reason. All of his overseas trips have taught him his value and how luck he is. The "Seagoing Cowboys" was more to him than an aventure. It was a life lesson. | 1 |
One could say that the Face on Mars is or was created by aliens. I say it is just a natural landform. My reasons for this statment is three simple things the pictures taken by MGS in 2001, the simalaritys with a mountain range in the US, and shadows!
¨In 2001 MGS (Mars Global Surveyo drew close enought for a second look at the so called face¨ said Unmasking the face on Mars. In 1976 a picture was taken of the ¨face¨ by NASA and yes it did look like a face but then again in 1998 the same picture was taken by MGS. By now the camras had gotten alot better and more sharpe. Then in 2001 MGS took a picture of the face and this time they new it was no longer a face it was a natural landform. Also in 1976 camras had 43 meters per pixel but in 2001 it was 1.56 meters per pixel. That is an amazing change.
If you look at the picture from 1976 the landform does look like a face but in the picture of 2001 you can tell the simalaritys in that landform to the one running right throw the west of the USA. You can esialy see the pikes and valleys and you can also she how the elevation changes. Im not sying aliens are not real but they did not create this landform.
My last reason for why this landform is natural and not created by aliens is because in the picture from 1976 you can see shadows. These shadows are from the pikes of the landform. Just like a normal mountain when looking at it from the top in the valleys you can see shadows. The shadows are what give off the face image.
I hope now you can understand why the face on Mars is not actually a face it is just a natural landform we know this becasue of pictures taken in 2001, simalaritys to real mountains, and the shadows on the landform. | 2 |
My argument against driverless cars, would be that first of all it would be really dangerous, many kids play outside how are the driverless cars going to see a young kid run across the street? Next is that yeah it might be gas saving but think about how much gas is already waisted in our world? lots plus, he saids in his artical " fundamentally change the world " or are these driverless robotic automoibles going to change the way people live today? think of themselfs not to good enough becusae you might not be able to afford these 'cars' or for the wealthy who knows he can buy tons of them feel way to good of themselfs? other words better than others in there point of view. plus many people bought many cars. WHAT are they going to do throw them away not many people going to automaticaly leave all these cars and right away move on to these driverless cars. | 1 |
Seagoing
Do you want an adventure? Maybe you should try something called seagoing. Seagoing would be a fun and educational trip where you get to help others, and make a diffrence in the world. The following reasons are why you should try seagoing.
In the text in paragraph number two it states that, "It was 1945, World War II was over in Europe, and many countries were left to ruins." From this piece of infomaion you can tell that people in Europe are facing hard times and that is why it is important to help those people. Furthermore, in paragraph number, eight it talks about how the cowboys also found time to have some fun. For instance in the text 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 time."
From this sentance you can tell the cowboys did not only work but had fun as well. Not only this but in paragraph number five it talks about the sights of Europe and China. For example in the text it states that," Besides helping people, I had the benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special."
Also in the last paragraph it talks about how great the learning experince was. I know this because in the text it states that, "It opened up the world to him. I'm grateful for the opportunity, he say's. It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs." For this piece of evidene I can infer that the trip was not just to see the sights and have fun but to get a learning exerince out of the trip. Many people may disagree with me and argue that the trip is not necessary. Why?
Well many people would say this trip is dangerous. For instance in the article, paragraph number seven it states that,"He slid down a slippery ladder on his backside." This piece of information could be why people think this trip is to dangerous.
From the previous examples I think that is why you should go this trip. Rember this trip is not for realaxing, but for a learning, and hard working, once in a lifetime experince. Also rember that you can still have fun while working. | 2 |
~The author support the idea really good because he has evidence and he is explaining everything, in my apinion i support the author because Venus is the second planet from our sun ans it has proved very challenging place to examine more closely.
~Explanation of the evidence: Venus is closesst planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and the olosest in distance too, but the different in speed mean that sometimes we are close to Mars and other times to Venus because benus is sometimes right around the corner in space terms. Every previous mission
was unmaded for good reason because
since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours maybe that explain whynot a single spaceship has touched down on Venus on more than three decades, but some fact is that Venu's reputattion as a challenging planet for human study. Venus atmosphere is almost 97% of carbon dioxide blankets and it is more challenging the
cloulds of highly corrosive sulfruric acid in Venu's atmosphere,
Venus has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in our solar system even Mercury is closer to our sun. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well one have been the most Earth-like planet in our system, A long time ago Venuz was propbaly covery largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life.
The opcions for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive is that NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venuz would allow scientists to float above the fray, a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape like just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms a vehicle hovering over Venus it would be avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by ataying up and out of their way in conclusion NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus for example electronics, striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. | 2 |
The technology that is being used to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable because we dont need a system telling us our emotions/ face expressions if we already know them.
In the third paragraph it says that "Eckman has classified six basic emotions-happiness, surprise, anger, fear, and sadness." A system does not need to classify thoes emotions for us, or me personally. Some one can already tell those emotions on our faces, or we could just tell them how we are feeling. Theres no need for people to be making coding systems on computers to identify our emotions/expressions. I personaly think its a waste of time to be doing this.
One reason why i do think this is valuable is because in paragraph six it states that "a class room computer could reconize when a student is becoming comfused or bored". This part would honestly help students because when we are
bored or confused we are goning to want to stop learning. So i see why this could be helpful in a way. Also in paragraph six it states that "...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 diffrent". this statement is good because no one want to watch ads that they dont like. So if a system can notice when you are not having it and changes it, that would be a good help. Ads con make some one click off a videoo fast, like i always do.
I still feel like computers would not be valuable because there is no point in them. Yes its helpful in some ways but i think they should be inventing something
else instead of a system that can read face expressions and emotions. | 2 |
What If i told you that instead of haveing the electoral college vote for us we can change the vote to popular vote. The American people and past presidents have all come to one conclusion, that the electoral college should be removed and instead move on to popular vote. Many peole have had this thought but it has never became an actual reality and I personally beleive that the electoral college should nto decide our presidents.
The electoral college is a wide variety of people from different states who gather together and decide who becomes the president of the United States. The electoral college doesn decide who are president is, but they do so in a terrible manner such as they take the popular vote into a miniscule amount of consideration and completely make up the decisions without taking into consideration the american people who perfer popular vote over electoral vote. In 2000 the electoral college had something called the diasaster factor where there was a giant election crisis. As stated in the article " the system allows for much worse" and that the american people should call them selves "lucky". The electoral college is a very risky way in order to elect our president
What people dont realize is that each state gets a certain set of electoral votes and the three major states with the most electoral votes are California,Texas, and Florida. What most presidents do is cater to the states that have the most electoral votes which means all the other states with not as many electoral votes get excluded from giving their opinion as it is taken over by the bigger states. This is also awful because most states might vote for one president but get ruled out because the majority of electoral votes are taken over by the bigger states. Agriculture states such as Idaho might not get apealed as much by presidents and don't get the supplies and support some states deserve. Even presidents such as Nixon, Bob Dole, and Jimmy Carter all belived that the electoral college should be abolished and move on to popular vote.
Another opposing view is that we should keep the electoral college for a couple of reasons to avoid run off elections but with popular vote that would almost never happen as people choose the canidate they perfer as run off election would be very unlikely. Another debate is that presidents would go after states with bigger populations but no matter what with electoral and mpopular vote presidents are always going to go after states with more people it's a problem we can not avoid.
I personally and storngly beleive that we should abolish the electoral voting system and start using popular vote as it seems like our best chance to ever get the right president but even then we still make mistakes but us as the american people need to learn from our mistakes in order to make the future better for voting and many more things. | 3 |
Technology is a fast growing resource in the world today and the availability of such is quickly rising. In many schoools, technology is becoming an important aspect of everyday life. Not only does technology enable students to keep up with classwork outside of school and on days they do not attend but it also allows for more flexibility. If the technology that students use everyday had the ability to determine how they felt about certain lessons, then not only would it benefit them but it would benefit teachers as well.
Technology that can determine someones emotions was once thought to be a thing of the future but now that future is here. Professor Thomas Huang has been able to create a computer algorithm that determines human emotions by scanning their facial expressions. Imagine the possibilities with such software!! The most benefical area in which the computer algorithm could be used in is schools. '"A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,...Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."' (Huang, Parahgraph 6) Not only would teachers be alerted when students were becoming distracted from their teachings, but they would also be offered suggestions on how to improve the lessons. Software such as the type that Dr. Huang has created could improve test scores across the nation and ease the workload of thousands of teachers. Why not use it?
Hence forth, technology that determines human emotions would be largely beneficial and effective for a large portion of the worlds population. Schools would experiance the most postive results from the software seeing as it would be able to adjust lessons to fit students learning curve and it would also reduce teachers workloads by creating lessons to fit students needs. The only negative aspect of Dr. Huangs software would be the cost of installation, but with the positive outcomes that would follow, whatever cost paid would be well worth it. | 2 |
In as small of a community as the Florida Keys, it is harder than it seems to unify us. yes we have sandbar sunday and woofstock but what else could we do on a daily basis that could unit us? As a community, if we were to limit car usage it would unit the community, decrease polution, and decrease the ammount of stress oon people. Making our community better is just one small step to making the world a better place.
Living in the keys, we all know that when the snowbirds come down traffic builds up to where it is not even moving. If we were to limit the car usage and say that on Mondays, Wensdays, and Fridays you had to either car pool or use public transportation it would unit us as a community. According to Andrew Selsky, from the Seattle Times Company,this year in Bogota, Colombia the city of 7 million went a day with out cars to promote alternative transportation(Selsky, paragraph20). Selsky also taked about how two other cities joined in, Cali and Valledupar,and how they helped generate a revolutionary change(25-26).Also according to Elisabeth Ronsenthal, a New York Times writer," ...The Internet makes telecomuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet forends"(Ronsenthal, paragraph 35).This just goes to show that no matter how big or little your community is, a day without cars might just be what you need to unify your community.
Along with beautiful clear waters, we also have our share of polution lingering in our mangroves and in our bay. Polution can be anything from a peice of garbage to smog in our air that is slowly suffocating our native plants. Even though down here we dont have a lot of smog, we still have to be awear of it and what it is doing to our neighboring communities. According to Elisabeth Ronsenthal,from the New York Times, "...Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car intensive areas in the United States"(Ronsenthal, paragraph 5). Also according to Robert Duffer,from the Chicago Tribune,"After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the gobal city"(Duffer, Paragraph 10). If we want to keep our beautiful water clean we should consider going to a limited car use schedual.
Lastly, by chosing to inforce a limited car use day it would decrease the stress in our community making it even more like paradise. According to Andrew selsky,"'It's a dood opportunity to take away stress and lower air polution,' said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife(Selsky, paragraph 24). Also other sientist have proven that daily excersise can reduce stress levels caused when a hormone is relised while you excersise.
In conclusion, by reducing or limitincar use for a day you can unify your community, help decrease polution, and decrease your stress levels. | 2 |
Imagine a life without your car. Seem impossiable? Residents in suburban Vauban, Germany are giving up their cars for a "car free" community. Sure, we love our cars and easy transportation to far away places but consider the benefits such as: environmental rehabitation, saves money and a happier lifestyle.
Cars cause lots of of pollution that dirty our atmosphere. According to Source 2 by Robert Duffer, "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." Smog, pollution caused by driving, is haunting cities and threating the environment. In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars by Elisabeth Rosenthal states, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." That being said, less automoblie use is fundamental in order to preserve our environment.
Diesel fuel is expenisve but also nessacery in order to drive. Gas prices are not only high but in order to provide gas we strip the earth of its natural resources thta take millions of year to replish. Wars have been started over it and some are still in action. Walking could save money and lives. In The End of Car Culture by Elisabeth Rosenthal, " Part of the explanation certainly lies in the recession, because cash-strapped Americans could not afford new cars, and the unemployed werent going to work anyway." Buying is car in both expensive and stressful.
Happiest is key to a good life. In Source 1 by Elisabeth Rosenthal a Mother states, "'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,' said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and a mother of two, as she walked verdent streets where the swish of bicycles and chatter of wanding childern drown out the occasional distant motor." Without the danger of cars, pedestrians are safer and have less to worry about. Car accidents would be at an all time low and would save millions of lives. Imagine a world where the constant threat of an accident didn't occur.
Finally, the end of the use of cars is upon us. Sure, we love our cars and easy transportation to far away places but consider the benefits such as: environmental rehabitation, saves money and a happier lifestyle. Together we can insure conservation of the environment and provide a happier and cheaper lifestyle for the generations to come. | 2 |
Studying about space can lead people to wonder so many things. In a article called "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", it leads even the author to think deeply about space. In this case, about the planet Venus. Some may know that space has many dangerous in it. Venus might be dangerous to humans but it is worthy to study and that there are many features which human can reconsidered their beliefs.
The first reason why Venus is worthy to explore is that there are more solar energy in the planet than our planet. Venus is the second planet in our solar system. Even though Venus is closer to the sun then Earth, the solar power are almost the same. The solar power in Venus won't exceed the solar power on Earth. They are basically at the same level. Venus has a solar power that would be plentiful if humans live there. On Earth, we get solar power but not all the places on Earth can get them all. For example, like Antartica or Iceland. However in Venus, humans would get plenty of solar everywhere on the planet.
The second reason why human should change their beliefs about Venus is that long time ago, Venus was belief to be covered in oceans. Some scientists believed that Venus could support various forms of life just like on Earth. Venus has familiar features with Earth such as valleys, mountains and even craters. This features can make people believe that this planet can support not just human life but other forms of life.
On the other hand, sometimes Venus can be too risky. The planet's atmosphere is 97 percent carbon dioxide. Also the clouds are in highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. The average temperatures are over 800 degress Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth. This temperature can also melt metals. This planet is pretty high in temperature.
Even though the temperature on Venus can be extremely hot, NASA are coming up with an idea where humans will float over the hot ground temperature of Venus. This would help humans because now the temperature would be at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit and also the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on our planet. Now, humans can have many plentiful sunlight and don't have to worry about the colds. Also, since Venus is one of the closest planet to Earth, we don't have to worry about how long it will take. It will take way shorter time than other planets in our solar system.
In conclusion, Venus does not seems as bad or horrific as some may think of. The planet has many plentiful sunlight and solar power. It also have Earth-like physical feature. For example, it has mountains, valleys, and craters. It was also once beliefed to be covered in water which can give various forms of life. Venus though is a hot planet with 800 degrees Fahrenheit and that 97 percent of the planet is covered in carbon dioxide. Even though it may be hot, we humans always think positive. In which NASA are coming up with ideas. Ideas where human would float above the ground and we would be getting many sunlight. Now, people can changed their beliefs that outer space can be dangerous but they also have a good side and many wonderful things to know and discover. | 2 |
"Abolish the elcetoral college!" said Bob Dole. Not only I, but 60% of the United States eligible voters agree wtih him. There are manny reason why the voter population doesn't want the elctoral college. The bigger the state's population the more votes they receive, the voter's votes really do not count so the feel as they are not thought about, even when they vote for the college their vote may be betrayed becuase they cant control who the college elects.
The person running for president do not want to waste time. They want to secure as many votes as possible. That even means skipping useless stops. For instance if the candidate is from a southern region they mostly have all the votes they need from their region. THey soon move onto the next important area of voters. Places like Florida, texas, and Los Angeles. States that have a huge population. The candidates think smart but irrational at the same time. They know if the have the majortiy of voters in a state with a large population they most likely will win the vote from the elctoral college. The candidate will not even think about small states like South Carolina and Rhode island. During the 2000 campaign there were seventeen states that didnt get to see the candidates beucase they are smaller in population. Even some of the largest media markets didnt see any campaign ads. It is unfair and unjust to do that to people who are willing to vote. Then the small state voters wont know much about the candidates which most likely will lead to irrational votes taken over by the elctoral college.
Voters in certain areas will not even attempt to make a vote because in their state they are overwhelmeed by the people who vote for other parties. Since the electoral college has a majority rule in effect in every state but Nebraska and Maine, in the other states sometimes its not even worth a try to vote. The citizens may think that their vote doenst matter compared to the other numbers of voters which basically its true. Thanks to the electoral college. | 2 |
Driverless cars are an amazing step to the future. It's taking a huge leap into a new decade of technolgy. People no longer would have to worry about hazardssuch as, reckless drivers, dumb drivers, or drunk drivers. People could finally see their dreeams from their favorite televison shows or movies unfold into a vibrant new reality. Driverless cars should continued because of their level of safety, making the driver more aware of their surroundings, and their advanced technology.
Driverless cars provide an excellent amount of saftey, at least more than people realize. Without a driver in full control and leaving it up to the car to naviagte it's way down streets you eliminate or reduce the risk of countless saftey hazards that are caused by people. For example, you wouldn't have to worry about driving through an intersection while somone else runs a red light and crashes into you. This is due to the car's "Dubbed LIDAR, it uses laser beams to form a constantly updating map of the car's surroundings." This makes it almost impossible for someone to crash into your or them. Another saftey risk that diverless cars help reduce is weather related risks. Due to the advancement of sensors they can help respond to the danger of skids, rollovers, ice, and sleet.
Another reason why driverless cars should be developed is because they can tend to make the driver of the car more aware than ever. A huge problem with traffic today is texting and driving. BMV annouced the idea of "The Traffic Jam Assistant" which in order to even keep the car itself going the steering wheel has special touch sensors that make sure that the driver keeps their hand on the wheel at all times. Driverless cars aren't giving the car full control, becausethe physical driver of the car still has to drive through construction sites, around accidents, and maybe even park. This requires the driver to have to remain assertive at all times. New features from GM and Google make this easier than ever by vibrating the seat, flashing lights on the windshield, or even the car annocuing the it's time for the driver to take over. Regular cars today don't even do half that, only bluetooth texting and calling.
Another reason why driverless cars should be produced is due to their advanced technology. Google enabled Toyta Prius' to use "postion eleminating sensors non the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera on the review mirror, four automoive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor." which takes a car to a whole new level of transportation. Hands free driving couldn't be boring either, because manufactuerers are finding bold, exciting way to bring entertainment to cars such as data, wifi, dvds, and with the way tech is for these cars the options are only limitless.
The world is always evolving and everchanging, and as humans we need to adapt to these rapid changes. What most people thought of the future is quickly becoming our present. Driverless cars are only the first step into a new decade, a new way of life. Cars today just can't simply meet the needs of tomorrow.
Driverless cars should be produced because
of their level of safety, making the driver more aware of their surroundings, and their advanced technology. | 3 |
Driverless cars have more negative aspects then positive. I am against the developement of these types of cars. I understand that we need to better our ways of public transportation, but many dangers come with driverless cars and I think that the risks are just not worth it.
One negative effect with driverless cars is so far, they do not have the ability to detect when road conditions change from the noraml like road work, traffic jams, or accidents that recently occure. The next major danger of these cars is people's lives could be the effect of an error with the manufacterers. Another aspect is most people who have been driving on their own for a while may not feel comfortable with giving up control to technology. Having driverless cars would take a lot of trust in this technology and that may be a hard thing to accomplish.
Driverless cars may not have a positive effect on today's world. Putting people in situations that are extremely risky is not worth being able to sit back and relax while technology is controlling you. The world is modernizing and technology is in practically everything we do, but we have to be focused and in control because putting too much trust into technology that could posibly have faults can become a safety hazard. | 1 |
The author says that venus is "worthy because it has value and not only because of the lnsight to gained" as the author said in pargaphe 8. I belive that Venus sholud be pursuit because if we cant be on there then whats the point of present. Even thouht Venus is the second planet from the sun it still not safe to go over there. Earth and Venus are some what alike doesn't mean we can go and do some teast on there. Even thought it has some of the same features as Eath. Venus is still not the same. NASA can send people to study Venus put they dont last up there they can died if there out there for more then 170 degrees. The air pressure is close to sea levle on Earth. 97 percent of carbon dioxide is blankets to Venus . The temperatures is over 800 degrees and the atmospheric is 90 times greater then experience on our planet. Venus has one of the hottest surface ever. It also has a rocky surface. | 0 |
Why should we keep the Electoral College? Because its what we've done from the start. Sometimes its fine just to keep things the same. There is nothing wrong with change but I beleive that this is the right choice. If we demolish the Electroal College then voting really wouldn't be fair. Because some states have more people than others.
I dont think we really need to change this rule. Because sometimes its best to keep things the same. Its been going on for about 200 years. There hasn't been too many things that have gone wrong with it. Yes there has been troubles in the past. But were all human no matter what we do we can't be perfect. So we will just have to learn from our mistakes an approve on them. We have to belive we have the right people for the job and hope they will make sure things run smoothly for electing a president or any other official we use it for.
If we get rid of the Electoral College then the voting for office wouldnt be fair. Some states are a lot bigger than others. So once its gone then the bigger states would have more effect on the votes than the smaller ones. Example: if we do get a new way to vote and its off popular vote then what if New York has 40,000,000 people and Nevada has only 10,000,000 people. New Yorks votes would have a more effect than Nevadas. This may lead to long debates over the voting arrangement because the smaller states would be mad that they wouldn't get as much of a fair vote. Just like how it was when the founding fathers made this arrangement.
These are my reasons I think that keeping the Electoral College is a better than having just popular vote. | 2 |
Have you ever wondered if the famous face on mar's is just there naturally or was it put there by aliens well it was actually just there naturally. Scientist's have proven that this famous face from magazines and once starred in a hollywood film is just a natural landform in a region of mar's called Cydonia.
This face is just a natural landform and how we know its a natural landform is because the article states, " It's just a huge rock fromation, Formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth". It's not an alien monument It's just a natural landform on mar's.
So that is why this iconic face of the 1970's and 80's is just part of the planet mar's itself and wasn't put there by another living speicies on mar's like aliens It's just some shadow's that come together a little bit to give the illusion of eye's, a nose, and a mouth in the region of Cydonia. This face was also discovered in the late 1970's specifically 1976. | 1 |
Many different type of people on earth like to travel places and discover new things all the time for their own eyes. Just by knowing that information alone really explains why NASA would want to the same thing with different types of planets like Venus. Now how the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is by knowing that Venus is a planet that comes with many challenges, but by the distance of how close it is, how earth like it seems to be, and the studies that people could do, it all can contribute to the human race.
Distance within space takes a lot of time to map out and when it is, it would take a long time to get to other planets. But with Venus, that isn't so much the case and that be would be of it's right next to Earth really and about the same size but just acts in different speeds. A way to show this is by a quote in the text that said " Often referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest distance too.". Now all of that just shows that of it being just like Earth and it being closest nearly all the time.
Another way to show that its a worthy pursuit is by how Earth-like this planet seemed to just be like a long time ago. The text even shows this by saying " Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This all just said that it was very much like Earth at one place and maybe even discovering why it ended up the way it did, the Earth doesn't have to end the same.
The human race could very much benefit off of the Venus discovery trip and truly show how even though there are challenges, that just by it's past, distances, and discoveries that could be made, a lot of the problems humans face can be no more. Both of these two types of reasonings above for a worthy pursuit to Venus just shows how there are great meanings as to why it would benefit humans to travel there. With how technology is advancing every year, there is possibilities of making it to Venus, and truly discover all it's worths. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
I highly recomind keping the Electoral college. I personally recomind keeping Electoral college because in sourse one it states that the "Electoral college was established 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 "widely regarded as an anachronism" a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be over ruled by declaring the canidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. This way it is fair. Did you know that when you vote for a presidential canidate you are really voting for a slate of electors?
It is possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. In the Electoral College they avoid the problems of the elections which no canidate recevies a majority of the votes cast. Also the Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states by the population lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the constitition.
As a citizen of the the United States of America i feel that if we use the Electoral College, it would make things so much easier on us.
sincerally,PROPER_NAME | 1 |
No, this new technology is not useful at all because theres no need for a computer telling you how you should feel. How could a machine that doesnt have feeling detect how you are feeling even humans have trouble detecting thatand we have feelings. In a classroom this wouldnt be helpful because its not helping them in school with anything. That is what student want is help in school subjects not their feeling that we ahve friend and family to talk to not som random computer. Most of the time the computer would be wrong because someone could depressed with a happy face on.
In paragraph 1 it says that they tested this on a painting. How could the computer make a 3D model of the face on a picture that it flat. The information that is givin couldn't be accurate at this point. Also she had a strait face in the picture how could she be 83 percent happy if she showed no emotion in the original picture painted. Also, in paragraph 5 in lines 4 and 5 is says that they had to add to the picture so the computer could pick up the face and tell them what she was feeling.
In conclusion this would no be useful at all because its a computer that doesn't have any type of emotions or feeling trying to tell you what you are feeling. Every person has a different face and everyone has different feelings and thats hard for even a computer to understand. Humans have trouble identifying these feeling because no one knows what someone else is feeling except themselves. No computer in the world could tell you what you are feeling. Even if they do have this crazy sofware that they think might work. | 2 |
The author states that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because, venus is a really hot planet and the earth is in between venus and mars but venus is closer to earth. Scientists start to study venus but it's very too hot to go to venus so scientists try to make inventions that will get information on why venus is so hot. Venus is dangerous because it is soo hot and you wouldn't make it in the conditions there.
In paragraph 3 the author states " Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments". It also states some examples of the dangerous things like "erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes,and frequent lightning strikes ". Scientists are still trying to visit to venus surface even tho it's inhospitable because they are fascinated by venus because venus use to be the earth's most-like planet in our solar system. Scientistist wants to know what it is that is making venus sooo hot because like in paragraph 4 it says " long ago, venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life". Then scientistst study that venus is the hottest planet and they are now trying to study why venus is so hot.
Now NASA is trying to send humans to study venus. NASA also has a solution for scientists to go study venus in paragraph 5 it says " NASA's possible solution to the hostile condition on the surface of venus would allow scientists to float above the fray" NASA made this solution so that scientists would study venus but at the same time they would be safe while doing it . NASA is now workin on other approaches to studying venus. In paragraph 7 the author states " some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions". This also shows that tying to study venus is dangerous because you wouldn't make it very long on the planet even if you've invented things to try and help.
The author is trying to get out that studying venus can be very dangerous because of the conditions venus is going thorugh. Venus is the most hottest planet and it is not the best planet to be studying because it is very dangerous. | 2 |
Self driving cars. Everybody wants a car that can drive itself, but is it really practical? Many people say that self driving cars are a thing of the future, while others argue that they should not exist. Autonomous cars are not practical and should not be on the road because they are dangerous, impractical, and boringly monotonous.
Self driving cars are dangerous because they will not be able to sense or detect danger as wells as humans could. "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." Cars are not safe under the care of automized vehicles due to the fact that there are too many variables and sporadic possibliltys when driving.
Now other than dangerous, they are also very impractical. Early forms of self driving cars such as "Traffic Jam Assistant" are examples of how impractical they are. "The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph," this is a very slow speed and seems almost useless. Along with only going 25 mph self driving cars also require you to keep your hands on the wheel at all times. "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver?".
To add on to driverless cars being impractical, automated cars would make road trips very boring and dull. "The psychological aspects of automation are really a challenge," admits Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW Project manager driver." Taking road trips would be the only thing that comes mind when thinking of why you would need a driverless car, and then even road trips would become very repetitive and bland. "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way." this shows that autonomous cars would take the fun out of taking road trips.
All in all, Autonomous cars are not the next big thing and are potentially a huge safety hazard. Driver assistance may be something that could be useful to drivers with impairments but driverless cars is taking it to the next level. Without roads to pair with these cars the use of driverless cars is impractical and not down to earth. So go out there and show your car some appreciation and give it a test drive, completely un-automated. | 2 |
Feelings and emotions are ways we show people how we act and what we are feeling at that moment. Only we know what we are feeling at times or even at that moment. Our emotions determine who we are and what we show from the expressions from our face. Its hard to determine what a person is thinking and what they are feeling at any moment of time. I think it is time though because someone has found a way to determine someone's emotions.
Finally someone has found a way to determine someone's feelings and emtions with a simple computer program. The person who worked and worked to show us this is Dr. Huang from Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois. Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans to communicate with computers. This idea for trying to communicate with computers brought up the idea of the feelings and emotions of a human being. They use simple calculations of the facial movements that are used to determine your feelings and emotions.
They begin the process with a 3-D process of the face and control every muscle on the face to mimic the emotions and feelings of a human being and that is amzing. The movements of the face is called a "action unit". Dr. huang relies on a psychologist to determine the emotions of that scan and to give six emotions that will determine every humans feelings within those six basic emotions. I think that these basic emotins are basically all the emotions any human uses for every day life. Thats why Dr. Paul Eckman picked them because them are the most common and most used emotions ever.
In paragraph three is the way humans move their muscles on their face to show emotions. Facial expressions are the one way humans can determine how someone is doing or feeling at that moment of time. In paragraph four they talk about how the program can even show that facial expressions of how Mona Lisa was feeling or what emotions she had of the time of the painting. The fact that we perform the same impressive calculation of determining a person's feelings just by looking at them is a perfect way for them to study and perfect the programs way to scanning emotions. The demonstractions of each scan are amazing at showing what the program and the computer can really do at a time where technology is at it's prime.
I feel like the computer and the humans who are trying to communicate with them are a great way to show feelings and emotions through talking. This program is gonna change the world of technology and the world of emotions for the better of the country and it's people. I think that what they are doing is a very constructive way of showing that you can find ways to determine a person's well being and their happiness. This program should be kept going at it's fullest for lots of years and should get to a point where it even helps out the crime system. As a last thought the program has to perfect this to get to maximum use of what should be used to help determine these feelins and emotions for the better. | 1 |
When fossil fuels are burned up it causes severe harm to the atmoshpere and is harzadous to society and everything around us .
There are many disadvantages and advantages for using any type of veichle and burning up fossil fuels . Cars can take you wherever you desire faster than any other type of land transportation but in the process of traveling in your car, your car is in the action of burning fossil fuels that later on will turn into harmful gas which hurts the enviroment around us . Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, drving less and getting fewer licenses each year . Every year we should decrease the amount of cars being used because excessive car usage can be a big hit to the atmoshpere and your wallet . There are more advantages of limiting car usage than disadvantages because humans dont really need cars to naviagte their way in life.
Excessive amount of car usage can be really harmful as well to the people driving on the streets . There are likely more accidents if the population of cars on the streets increase because if one tiny crash occurs and the streets are over popluated that one tiny crash can now become a huge crash with the other vechiles around it . Cold nights in France and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions and due to this lots of smog was created and the roadways were shut down to its lack of vision , this could've been provoked if diesel fuel was'nt over used in France. Limiting car usage is a great factor because there so if it happens , less car accidents will occcur , the action of global warming will decrease , money being spent on gas will decrease and our atmoshphere would'nt be all gassed up with burned fossil fuels .
Many people also suggested that everyone should cut down the car usage and all the fossil fuels being burned up because it causes lots of stress , Heidrun Walker is a mother of two and a media trainer stated "When i had a car i was always tense . I'm much happier this way." As a result to Walkers statement , many people agree with her because when you have a car you have to worry about buying gas and what if you dont have money for gas, what if you dont make it on time and you need to go pick up your child , there are so many ''what if's'' and problems when having a car . When not having a car you can save up lots money in your bank account , you can take care of the atmoshpere by not burning and using up fossil fuels and you can decrease the percentage of you getting into a severe car accident .
Limiting car usage brings alot of advantages to yourself and everyone around you and also some disadvantges . Many people can benefit from not having or limit the car usage because it can save you lots of money and take care the enviroment your living in . There are many solutions to get somewhere rather than using a car that when using fossil fuels to harm the atmosphere it raise the percentage of global warming . Limiting car usage can help save the planet , cause less deaths around the world , save money , reduce the percentage of global warming and allow living things to breath oxygen and not harmful gasses that can hurt the respiratory system . | 2 |
The advantages of limiting car usage is very important, to us and everyone. that is why we must learn to take care of our car and stuff. Our car help's us get around and go to different places. Like , the mall, walmart, resturant, shoe place, and tones of other places. Scientist and researcher's use their basic knowledge to discover the limiting car usage and sometimes predict. But american's love for car's have been cooling . so far , so good automobiles have been an important travel for us now and back then for the people. Dufferent things are converging, which that we suggest are witnessing a long term -term cultural shift. With changes, people find less reason to resume the habit. many studies have been tested now and last year.
It has been that young people, decresed down than back then. Automobiles are like surbubs. there where middle families from every where tend to make their home. 12 percent of greenhouse gas emission's. In the US, the environmental protection agency (EPA) goes around various countries and check the enviroment for our car's. that's why you have to be very careful and be also caution. Cars has been banned to, for buses.
The goal is to promote transportation and reduce smog. violator's faced $25.00 fins and it wasn't pretty either. day's without cars is just days without nothing. this world we live is full of many things to learn and new evidence that has to be proven.
So, you should always thank technology and the impact it has on. for you, and for everyone else. Different things are coming and different pact is forming. all the development since world war II has been centered on the car. that will have to change then and now . so here's all you need to know about limiting car usage. | 0 |
Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore? That's what Google cofounder Sergey Brin envisions. A public transportation system that has no drivers. Therefore driverless cars should be a thing that all people in the world should have.
First of all, driverless cars have always been a thing in a person's imagination. " In the late 1950s, Gerneral Motors created a concept car that could run on a special test track." This means that for a smarter car you need a smarter road. Special equipment will be added to roads so the cars has a set path to follow. At times a human driver is needed for when there may be a situation when pulling in and out of driveways, or traffic and roadwork. Google modified a Toyota Prius that has sensors around the car so therefore it can mimic human driving skills. Therefore driverless cars should be a thing that all people in the world should have.
Additionally, driverless cars should be a thing that all people in the world should have because they can be autodriven and controlled when ever. This means that if there is a situation when the driver doesn't think that the car can handle the roads ahead they can take over just by placing their hands on the wheel. This will stop hundreds, no thousands of accidents that happens daily.
Next, there may be some problems with the task. For there to be a smarter car there has to be smarter roads. This means that sopecial magnets will need to be placed in every road in the world, or the ones that it is legal in. Doing this will be the most expensive project ever, and it will take some time too do so.
In conclusion, driverless cars should be a thing that all people in the world should have because they will make our lives easier with hands free driving to school, or anywhere a person needs to go. In addition it will have the drivers driving skills, maybe even better. Therefore driverless cars should be a thing that all people in the world should have. | 2 |
Why they invent Facial Action Coding System? Well in my personal opinion this is a good experiment for student, family, etc, because sometimes people do not want show they emotions or feeling, for example: If a girl of school that has depression or personal problems and she do not want talk abaut that with her teacher or consuler and this girl is thinking in kill herself, if the school have the Facial Action Coding System the professor can save her life, that a great experiment, but one thing is all school can't have it because are expense so this experiment can't help to all students or families that need.
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, the Dr. Huang says "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal" he is trying to said that they experiment is not just for people, he is says that is universal so that mean is for all that have face or that the Facial Action Cording System can read emotions for example:The Facial Action can read the Renaissance painting, Mona Lisa.
In conclusion the
Facial Action Coding System is a veryy good option for school they can saves lifes, and evit masacres of students with that Facial Action and be a major country. | 1 |
If i was a scientist at NASA and had to do research on of the face that is on mars i would say it isnt a human face. I think it is just a natural landform.
My evidence that the face is not really a human being is first of all it doesnt even have a body. Since they took pictures of the face, they could have croped the pictures to look real. In the pictures that scientists took of the face in 1976 to 2001 the pictures look nothing like a face. The pictures show cracks that may appear to look like a face but really isnt.
When a scientist was taking a picture on mars he noticed an enormous head nearly two miles from one end to the other end and it seemed that it was staring back at the cameras from a region of the red planet called cyndonia. The cause of that could have been a shadow and not a human looking back at him. Another thing is that i dont think they seen a Martian because when they said that they had pictures of a Martian, picture cant always be true because of how people crop pictures today.
So these are my reasons why i think that that face is not really a face, just a natural landform. A lot of people may believe what thay want to believe. Just remember that eveybody has there own opinion. | 1 |
venus is actually second planet from our sun simple to see from the distance but safe vantage paint of earth.Venus is the coloset planet to earth in terms of density size and occasionally the closet distance too. Earth, Venus, and Mars.our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speed These differnces in speed mean that sometime we are closer to mars and other time to venus because venus is sometime right sent numerous spacecraft to land on this. venus has hottest surface temperrature of planet in our solar system beyound high preesureand heat, venusian geology and weather present additional imediment like eruptiny colcanoes. powerful earthquakes, and frequant lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on it surface . Venus was probaly covered largelly with oceans and cloud have supported various forms of life like earth. Today. venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth the planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features more recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest for a planetary visit. | 0 |
Driverless cars are accomplishing many goals and it won't be to long until they will be in full function.
As a part of this I think that it is time to accept change.
The cars will have a few bugs at the start but won't be a problem for long term.
Automated cars should be able to be developed because of the tests that have positive results, the improvement in sensors, and the safety backing them up.
Cars can be very dangerous, escpecially if you put a computer behind it.
However the smart cars from Google had been driven a half a million miles without a crash.
This result shows how advanced technology has become and how it can be very realiable.
With more tests showing positive results it should be no problem for people to see that the cars are really something special.
Another reason for automated cars to be developed is because of the improvement in sensors.
Now that sensors can be very realiable and are getting cheaper and cheaper it wasn't a bad thought to use them in cars.
Many sensors that are put on the car are used for different purposes.
Some sensors are so improved that they keep a 3-D model of the car's surrounding.
This is important because it will be able to detect when danger is near.
Finally, the last reason automated cars should be developed is because of the safety that will be involved with it.
The automated cars will have key safety features to keep the driver and everyone around them safe.
One of these features is to tell the driver when to take over. Others include stopping when closing in on an object and turning off displays when the driver has to take control.
Will automated cars be developed?
I think they will but only if we let improvement happen.
Automated cars do seem a little fetched out but its important to see the positives.
With all the results from tests, advances in sensors, and key safety features automated cars would be a huge improvement that might just be safer than actual drivers. | 2 |
This technology Is greatly valuable and could be put to great use. Software of this type can be helpful and accuracy in many cases. By being able too detect someones emotions could help law Inforcement develope better evidence In investgating in crimes or help on court cases like muder screeming facial emotions can give great evidnce in cases of that soft. I do also feel that this technology can and will be great too have I also think before we use this sotfware that we make sure It Is accuracy effort for It too be main ter m and hands lawinforcement to use It .
Dr. huang stated " using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks facial movements in real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa.

It is a landform not a Civilization!
In the atricle NASA has comfirmed that the ''Face on Mars'' was just an landform also called a Martian mesa. The image was found in area in mars that is called Cydonia. The shaped like face looked like a real human face, but it was just shaped that way. Others think that it is a ancient alien civilization that used to be on mars but now there is nothing on mars and it seems like the Alien civilizaton has left things behind when they disappered.
When NASA first saw the face they didn't know what to belive so they too pictures in 1976,1998, and 2001.
Why it is a landform and that it is not a alien civilization because Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera crew snapped a photo
of the face ten times. Web surfers were waiting for results and it came out as a landform so there for it was never a alien artifact.
Reasons why people would think that the face could have been a face from a alien civilzaion because the face really looked like a actually face and that it could have been from an acually civilization. Some people believe that we are not the only ones in the universe and some other people think that we are the only ones in the universe and when this these images was sent it made people believe at the time that when there was no answer to what the face ment to people.
But when NASA comfirmed that the image was just a landform people most likely still believed that it is still an alien civlization because to some people they ask where did the artifact get there? Is there any other artifacts that are on mars or in another area? After movies, blogs, and books lots are considering these things and some people might be afraid of what else might be out there. NASA might be trying to answer some of these questions but for right now it is just a landform.
NASA has found more space like things that couldn't have been explained but maybe in the future they could find more things on mars than just a landform or try to find more things on other planets than mars. There is a whole solar system for us we could find a least one thing in the universe that is not just landforms. | 2 |
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys because you will not only see things that almost everybody you know will never see,you can even learn things while your out there,like learn how to fish,take care of animals and you might even be able to learn how to sail your own ship. Not only that, you can even find a family and settle down and have kids,but before you say yes and sign up for this cowboy program that sounds incredibly awsome and jump on the ship and die for some super crazy reason,it won't be my fault. There are some dangers out at sea and I can tell you how to avoid them. Step 1,if you see some people come aboard from diffrent places try to stay away for a little because you dont know what kind of disease, or sickness they could have. Say you bring a little bit of medicine if you get sick and you become best friends with someone from China or Japan and you or him didn't know he brought a deadly disease aboard and if you catch it,your more than likely going to die, so keep watch if someone is coughing or sneezing. Step 2,Try not to get night watch,the reason being is that if you fall overboard there is nothing anybody could do for you because you will be out there all alone. One of the best things about the trip is that you get to go to new places and you can get new stuff. Like if you go to like Japan and all the other places you can get new plants,inventions,new farming products and many more. The best part is,you can sell it. In the story it says that he did because they sort of needed him and he wanted to help. If you do go you wil not only be helping other people you can be helping even more by bringing new ideas and farming products and you can even tell them how to properly farm or even how to farm. You will also help yourself in helping other people,even if it's just a thank you. | 2 |
It's been a large debate on if the Face in Mars is a natural landform. I believe the Face in Mars is a natural landform from natural disasters happening on Mars. One thing that leads me to believe that the Face on Mars is a natural landform is when it says in paragraph 7 "Thosands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all."
So, proof was also given that the mysterious Face on Mars was a natural landform. In paragraph 11 it states that objects were found in the picture such as airplains, Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks. This leads me to believe that all the objects are also causes of this natural landform on Mars because objects like these may leave marks, or spots and ect. Lastly, what led me to believe that the Face on Mars is a natural landfrom is paragrapgh 12 saying "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West." This says that the Face is way to large to be a human face or alien. in conclusion, the Face on Mars is a natural landform because there was proof that it is, objects were found on the picture making spots, marks and ect., and that the face is way to big to be a human's face or alien's. | 1 |
Can you see a driverless car in the future? Google is working on a project. A car that can drive on its own. No one will ever need to buy a car again. There would just be driverless taki's everywhere.
Right now in this time, Google made cars that can drive by its self. These cars has senssors. It can detect if theres an object behind it, infront of it, And on the sides. these cars can drive its self to any location, you would just have to put it in the gps. Google cars aren't truly driverless; the person in the car would have to do it is pull in and out. The longest distence a driverless car has driven was half a million miles without crashing.
Every automakers is trying to make the best of the best. Making a car that can do everything. A car that dosn't need no one to pull in or out. A car that takes half the fuel that any car would be taking in this present time. A car that can detect people when there inside the car. A car that can travel million's of miles without crashing or breaking down. The best car creation built in history.
Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problem ahead will be solved. Tesla has a project a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot for 90 percent of the time. Other automakers such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, And nissan plan to have cars that can drive them self by 2020.
There will be so much automakers that will try to make a car thats driverless, but the car is going to end up being so expensive that no one will want to but it. Google is trying to make so many cars that can drive its self, park its self, pull out its self and pick anyone up by its self. Google wants to make so many of these cars, Because google dosn't want people to buy cars anymore. All the driverless google cars will be public-transport taxi system. The taxi's will offer far more flexibility than a bus. Google believes such cars would fundamentally change the world. | 1 |

Venus, also called the Evening Star is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. This nickname is
misleading since Venus is actually a planet. Venus is the second planet from our sun and the hottest planet in our solar system. Often referrd to as Earth's twin, Vinus is closest to Earth in term of density and size, but it's a dengrouse and challenging planet. Venus is very dangerous.
Venus is very dangerous. Why? Almsot 90% carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atomsphere, and the average temperature is over 800 degree Fahrenheit. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though is not the closest to our sun. The atmosoheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Also Venus has weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequesnt lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
Venus is a very dengerous place to go to. It's the hottest planet on our solar systeam. It has volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequesnt lighting strike. But why we wanna go there? Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth like planet. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largly with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. It may not be easy conditions, but survivable for humans if we found a way to land on. | 2 |
The face of Mars is not created by aliens or an alien artifact it is a natural landscape.
When scientist first saw the face they were probably shocked but scientists figured it was just another martian mesa they are common around Cydonia Cydonia is the place where they found the face. Although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrieved at the Red Planet in September 1997, eighteen long years after the Viking missions ended. On April 5, 1998 when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbitier Camera (MOC) eam snapped a picture of the face it was ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousans of people were waiting for the image when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealed the face of Mars was just another natural landscape and there was no alien monument. What the picture actually shows is the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa they are common landscapes around the American West "it reminded me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," said Garvin.
That is why the face of Mars is a natural landscape it is a butte or mesa. | 1 |
So you think Aliens created this historical peace of fiction. Aliens would seem like a good idea but wheres the evidence? People come up with these therories and cant support them in the way the were ment to be supported. These pictures we got from Mars are not just supported but we got the pictures with our satelite.
We scientist over in NASA are trying to find ways to expand human nature. People keep saying Aliens did this and thats making us want to explore this more even though the theory can't be supported. We spend billions of dollars a year trying to find these answers to lifes mysteries.
We even supported this in with facts about water on Mars and the mini volcanoes. The landform was a coquencedence that it was caught by our cameras and the fact about it is if this landform happened by aliens wouldn't the camera caught it? The face was first saw in 1976 and it looked like a wave of water splashed over it and dried. The volcanoes could have also erupted and hardened so the landform would have to have been there to heating and cooling of molten lava.
Even though the alien evidence can be proven it still is in the picture. The landform could have been a sign that the aliens put out and wanted help. It could have also been a sign for what is to come. The alien therory isnt well thought out, but in life anything can happen.
The face on Mars could have been anything. The things to come is what is really important. Whether it's aliens on mars or robotic warfare. The golden age of technology is here. | 1 |
No it does not work because it is very un fare to the millions of voters in the U.S. Mainly because alot of the states donot even see an ad for the presidential campaign. Also because it is not winner takes all like it is for most states. So it is not fair mainly just because of bad publicity. Also because the presidential campaign could come down to one persons vote and depending if he is bias or not it would be very unfair.
The electoral college does alsonot work because it was created by our founding fathers. Which was all the way back when this country was first starting out. So the ways that they do it is so old and does not work anymore. These are the reasons why i think that the electoral college does not work. Anymore in todays modern times where it is all out dated. | 1 |
I like how the author in the Paragrah 2 gives us some facts about Venus and gives us a little bit of information on some spaceships that have tried to make it on Venus. He also tells us how far or close Venus is to the sun compared to other planets. I really liked what he wrote in Paragraph 2, I think it was very informational and easy to understand for the readers.
Then he goes on to talk about what Venus is like if you where there, he talks about the temperature, how much carbon dioxide is in the air and what the atmospheric pressure is compared to Earth.
He goes on to say how Venus and Earth are somewhat alike in how Venus has some rocky sediment just like Earth does. This paragraph is very informative in how much Earth and Venus are very similiar to each other.
Skipping down to the bottom of the text, he talks about how NASA is trying to make some electronics to land on Venus to see if they can get a better understanding on the history of it. They have made some silicon carbide electronics that have lasted in Venus's surface for about three weeks. they are basically trying to make an electronic that can resist heat, pressure and other forces against it.
Over all I think the author did a very good job on explaning on what NASA is trying to do to get a better understanding on Venus and also giving us the readers some inside scoop on what Venus is like and some interesting facts that I personally didn't know. | 2 |
Do you belive in aliens?
The first reason why i say that the face was just natural landforms is because,there is no such things as aliens! For example the text says" a shadowy likeness of a human face." This example show that likeness isn't always certain you have to be absolutley sure before you start making claims about what the picture is showing. Did you see it for yourself? Did you do any research about it?
Another reason why the alien story is real is because ,no one officially approved it. They only took pictures of the face.
No one went down on mars to examine or observe the face. An example for this would be that the passage says" only this one had unusual shadws that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh". This example shows that if it looks like a Egyptian Pharaoh how would the aliens know about it?
The next reason why the alien myth isnt true is because in the passage it says the word"illusion" the word illusion means something that you can see but is not there. For example in the tex it states that " formed shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth". This example shows that an illusion may seem real but it is not real. You have to make sure that your facts are reliable and your resources are reliable.
Finally, why people say that the landfrom was formed by aliens is because it
" appered in books, magazines and radio talk shows--- even haunted grocery store for 25 years". They don't know just because this thing goes publice dosen't mean it is true. For example" Some people thimk that it is bona fide evidence". The people that think taht it is bona fide evidence did they do any research or did they just rely on what the social media says. In conclusion you should believe that the face is a natural landform is because aliens isn't real. | 2 |
I am a scientist at NASA, and I am going to prove to you that NASA was not created by aliens, it is just a natural landform. Other scientists, including me was around Mars taking photos. We took a lot of photos and when we came back to check the photos it looked like a human face. I used a new method step by step to see if it actually was a human face, but it was not. It turned out to be a rock shaped as a head, and the rock made you have an illusion of the eyes, mouth, and nose.
To many people are concerned about aliens going to attack, but it is not true. Some scientists just want you to think there are aliens that based off what they have saw. If you look on a JPL web site you can see that it is just a natural landform. After all there was no alien monument. The picture actually shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa-landforms.
According to what the theory is, another reason for it being a natural landform is because NASA would rather hide and the defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars. Half of the time on photos things start to look like ghost or even aliens for this matter if you are scared and are thinking about aliens being alive or by you. The Face is a natural landform according to the mission controllers, where the lab is. Monitors will lok like a face when you first take it but you have to clear the picture up a little bit.
For the Face to seem natural to you, you have to believe that there is no aliens out on what people call bona fide, of life on Mars. You always want to make sure that you are not just having an illusion. To make sure you are not having an illusion you are checking what ever is happening twice. For an example of a natural landform, there would have to be pictures taken and on the natural landform there would have to be a mapping spacecraft and that normally looks straight down. For an example of a alien landform, there would be UFO's with bright lights shining and would have to have a hide out for them to live and to not be seen.
This is my evidence that I gathered from the method that I used to prove to you that the Face is just a natural landform. Yes, NASA does have a Mars but, that does not mean that there would be aliens, just because it says Mars. If you ever have need some help on getting a person to believe you about something like scientists wise, come to my website JPL and message me. Their are creatures but they are not on the Face of NASA. Do not ever forget if you take a picture and you think something is there try to clear it up or get someone else to clear it up. | 3 |
I believe that the Electoral College vote should be abolished because they are not giving citizens their rights to vote, there is certainty of outcome, the winner takes all method that they are doing, and the voting electors are not voting percisely. That is why I believe that the Electoral College should be abolished.
To me I believe that the Electoral College is cruel and unusual punishment, because they are not giving citizens their voting rights. They make it seem like the citizens are going to be the ones voting for the president but in reality the citizens are actually voting for electors whom are going to be voting for the president. The Electoral College is regarded as an anachronism that should be overuled. Its declaring the canidate with the most vote to be the winner, which is not really giving the citizens the chance to vote for they want to be their president. Advocates are arguing about the Electoral College not being a modern sense, and how it is the electors voting for the president and not the people/citizens. When citizens vote for the president they dont actually know that theya re voting for a slate for the elelctors.
They Electoral College has a massive rate in certainty of outcome. Just like the dispute over outcome of votes that happened in 2000 can happen again, because the electors are not being fair with the votes. This is becasue the winning canidate shares his popular vote with the electorals. Just like Barack Obama was elected for president, he only recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral votes compared to the popular votes of 51.3 percent. Almost all the states award electoral votes with the winner-takes- all mehtod that they created. A tie can be possible in electorals votes but, the total number of votes is 538 which is an even number but, is not very likely that it would happen.
The electors are not voting fair or percisely. It can and has been argued that the Electoral College ways of selecting the president may turn voters for a cannidate who has no hope for running a state. Democrats in either Texas or Republicans in California dont pay not type of attention to the voting or even to the president that was picked by the popular votes. The Electoral College has no intention in trying to change thier pursiut for electing a president so that citizens will have a chance to cast a vote on picking who they believe should be president.
I believe that the Electoral College should be abolished, because they are not giving citizens their rights to vote, certianty of outcome , the winner-takes-all method, and electors are not voting fair and perisely. I also believe that if they use something more mordern that it would make it esaier for voting and electing so theat they wont have to worry about the problems with electing a new president. | 2 |
The author supports the idea of studying Venus because Venus was the first chose of Earth before they discovered Earth . Also it could've been life since their is so much water their so it can support people way of living . Plus the planet has valleys , mountains, and craters just like Earth does . Including they are making sure that it is safe for humans to travel there . Also their would be more of a different type of lifestyle on Venus so humans on Earth can discover a new enviorment and world .
Venus is a different life upon humans . Extremely so that the technology we have today can out beat the technology from the 1800s or the 1940s . The calculations of a moder computer are powerful for the people NASA it's helps prevent any physical conditions that can happen to the travlers . Also the distance wouldn't be so bad for the people on Earth . Plus NASA is discovering on how to start life their for people who wants to start over again and be in a better year around world they can .
The author also thinks that the risks aren't very harmful to humans . Including since the sun is so close to Venus he discovered that there would be more better warmer days than winter days . Venus could be the next Florida for people who love to be warm . The author also states that Venus is a beautiful planet from just studying the features of it so why wouldn't it be beautiful to live on .
Venus oxygen also is better there yes there maybe a few storms but you'll never have to rely on trees for saving your life .
Venus also is the nearest option for a visit because if anything happen to Earth where would people go ? Venus of course because at this point the NASA people would have knowledge to know that the other world we have would be the next best place for us .Including the value of Venus is great because the farms that can be planeted their would be healiter foods for people . The water in Venus is safe and is not deadly for the travelers . Also it would be more cheaper and a better government there in Venus .
In conclusion Venus has so many great values and amazing different way to look at life it's self . Have a different type of lifestyle when you wake up in the morning . Including waking up to that nice hot weather and very sunny out . Also seeing different animals . Plus just having a better view at life . | 2 |
The idea of driverless cars sounds very unsafe/ unnessasary. We don't need to be spending more money funding this. Lets start with saying are people really that lazy to not want to drive themselves? We need to be able to have complete control of our vehicle at all times! Anything could happen when putting your trust in a car. The car could completely malfunction and lose all control and cause a huge crash and could really hurt someone. Imagine your car losing control and wrecks into someone and kills them! You would be charged with murder because you didn't have all control. Cars are expensive enough just imagine how much these cars would be! We are too busy spending all our money on stupid ideas like this and we have much bigger problems!
There is some good in these cars like not wasting as much money on gas or if you aren't that good of a driver they do most of the driving. You wouldn't have to worry about drinking and driving home. This also would also help with texting and driving you wouldn't have to worry about watching the road and your phone.
But just because there are a few perks to a driverless car doesn't make it any safer! I completely disagree with driverless cars, i know they will cause many accidents and lead to many injuries or even deaths that could have been saved due to lack of control of the vehicle. | 2 |
"America's love affair with it's vehicles seems to be cooling" says Elisabeth rosenthal. To understand rosenthal's perspective, it is easier to suggest that America's car usage is decreasing slowy. This isn't necessarily bad in the sense that it has certain postive effects. The advantages of limiting car usage includes an increase in security and health, along with a decrease in pollution and dependence.
Firstly, when car usage is limited security and health is more likely to be gauranteed. The feeling of being secure is highly important to individuals everywhere. For example, many people in colombia used public transportation during a car free day "leaving the streets of this capital city ", according to Andrew Selsky, "eerily devoid of traffic jams". The complications that stem from traffic jams end with a feeling of unconfidence. The plan to get from point A to B was more simple just a second ago. This complication in your personal plans leads you to become stressed as a feeling of doubt overcomes all thoughts. If car usage was limited, there would be a control on how much traffic accumalates thus minimizing chance of stress. As Heidrun Walter states "when i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way". not only does car usage minimize conditions detrimental to health, it also enlarges your capacity for excercise. The main purpose of the car is to get someone from one place to another. when an important job takes over your personal life, it becomes difficult to do things most enjoyed in life. limits on car usage forces you to stay in shape. According to Andrew Selsky "parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughot the city". Less cars means healthier and natural situations. With parks and sport centers becoming more effecient, it becomes easier to find a more physically active population. Overall, less usage on cars minimizes stress and increases health.
Secondly, limting car usage becomes beneficial to the enviorment. Now a days people have become annoyed with others who care so passionatley about the enviorment. If you look behind their constant cries for action, there are solid facts. Yes;pollution is bad for the enviorment. Yes; a bad envorment means unhealthy living. Yes; cars are one of the main contributors to pollution in the enviorment. A pattern of less car usage, as Elisabeth Rosenthal states "will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviorment". The less use of cars, the less pollution in the enviorment. One must observe limiting car usage as an opportunity to create a cleaner world and better future. The effects of pollution in the enviorment is completley dangerous and we, the car users, are to blame.
Additionally, it would lower the dependence on cars. Many people today find that their car is so useful. While it has many features and is a form of transportation, many do not figure what they would do if they did not have such a possesion. The development of people and their interaction with technology has left a wide gap between historic, natural ways and what is thought of as modern society. Being dependent is not always good for individuals. As david goldberg says "all our development since world war II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change". Many people could disagree and wonder why it is necessary to change our ways especially if we are so highly devloped. If being developed means being dependent on a harmful machine, then it could not be effective devlopment. According to Elisabeth Rosenthal "cash-strapped americans could not afford new cars, and the unemployed were't going to work anyway". Many people can't have the precious luxury of private transportation in the first place. Those who have had it have become distant to a more natural society. Peope have become so use to having cars that they have become oblivious to the significant effects. With limits on car usage , these effcts could be controlled.
To conclude, the advantages of limiting car usage is an increase in health, along with a decrease in pollution, and less dependence on cars. limiting car usage is a positive way to enfore an organized and clean enviorment, and ensure health and security of those who live in it. This is one reason America can be reffered to as a succesful country. It is not that America has decreased use of vehicles, but the fact that they have done what is best for majority. | 4 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile", the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System (or FACS) enables computers to identify human emotions. In the paragraph below I will be explaining why I believe the technology presented in this article would be valuble by reading the emotional expressions of students in a classroom.
First, I believe that the use of this technology is valuble to be used for reading the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because like the article states it could, if used correctly, determine when a student is becoming "confused or bored". This could lead to modified lessons that engage and more effectively teach students the material without the need for so much individual attention from the teacher.
Also, connecting to my last statement this technology may not only aid in the students learning but also provide help to teachers. This is because with technology that can read the students emotions and possibly adapt lessons to the individual the teacher in the room won't have to worry about giving all the students their own individual attention to help them most effectively learn the same material with only a small amount of time to do it. This technology would almost be like having a dozen or so assistant teachers in the room leaving more time for the real teacher to attend to things like making lesson plans and grading.
Last but not least I feel that this technology would be useful in the classrom is because if a child was sad, hurting, depressed, or any other negative emotion and the student was hiding all that through a smile the technology may be able to help see behind the smile so that teachers or therapists can better help students through their problems and understand them better without spending so much time reading a childs confusing signals.
In conclusion, I believe that the Facial Action Coding System can be a valuable tool in the classroom for a variety of reasons including but not limited to the reasons I described in the above paragraphs. | 2 |
There are many ways to explore Venus with the challenges on the way and some of those ways are how Venus is covered with atleast a 97% carbon dioxide, and then finally how Venus is sometimes refered to as earths twin.
The author states in the story called " The Challenge of Exploring Venus" that there is ways on being able to explore and learn more about Venus. Venus has a lot of carbon dioxide on it that its as thick as a blanket. In paragrapgh 3 it states that a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. In this quote " Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere." This quote means that Venus has a lot of information to offer the people if they want to learn more about Venus and how thick the atmosphere is also how the atmosphere of Venus has sulfuric acid.
In the story it states that Venus is refered to as one of Earths twin since its close to the planet earth. Venus being called Earths twin is a way of saying how Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. This quote, " Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds." This quote means that the reason why Venus is refered to as Earths twin is because it has a lot of things in common with other planets like Mars, and Earth itself that are also refered to as Earths twin most of the time.
There are many ways to explore Venus with the challenges on the way and some of those ways are how Venus is covered with atleast a 97% carbon dioxide, and then finally how Venus is sometimes refered to as earths twin. So that is what evaluates how well the author supports the idea that stuying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. Also so people can learn about the planet Venus more but to also be able to explore the planet aswell after they have learned about it so they can try to stay out of danger while being up there on Venus. | 1 |
Growing up as a kid having a teacher to teach isn't anymore normal than having a pencil to write with. Thinking about my children having a computer instead of a teacher seems less traditional and in my opinion less affective. With humans teaching humans, we are able to tell when something isn't right because we can relate to each others feelings and their standings on the topic. With a computer that isn't really an option.
For example, Nick D'Alto mentioned how the computer could calculate the Mona Lisa and show what percentage of feelings she is having. Another example given is when D'Alto mentions how it can be used to show whenever politicians and/or performers are not being truthful when they are speaking to the audience. Nick says that "Dr. Huang's emotion algorithms are a different sort of Da Vinci Code." Nick is mentioning how the computer is able to read art and painted faces and if it continues, maybe our faces.
Considering that a computer showing us when somebody is feeling an emotion other than happiness may be good, I think we should be more focused on doing it ourselves and not using a machine for easy to use capabilities. Since the computer scans the faces muscles which isn't something people are really looking after when having a conversation on somebody's opinion.
However, the computer provides great possibilities in the modern to future world. For example, when we made the lie detector test for obviously showing if someone is lying while answering a series of questions was a huge breakthrough. This computer could bring an even bigger outcome since it is reading mouth eye and other face muscles. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal." Dr. Huang is trying to give the point that each emotion can be seen at a different way just slightly everytime. Who knows where this computer process could lead us to or what we can do with it.
None the less, in the classroom a teacher can teach best because that teacher knows not every student is the same. You can ask any parent of 2 or more children and they will confirm that claim. On the political and celebrity standpoint, this could reel out some unknown hintings toward how they really feel. In the end, we have a long way to come as a species and we have a long road also behind us. | 3 |
Peoples emotions can be hard to detect most times. Personally, my friends have gotten very good at faking emotions. Detecting how someone really feels in nearly impossible for the human brain. For example, in the article it states that the Mona Lisa is, "83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry." Being able to detect all of those emotions in just looking or talking to someone just isn't as easy as it seems. Thats why they came up with "the Facial Action Coding System." This system has been developed to improve the accuracy in perceiving ones emotions.
Frst, the way this system will work is when the computer constructs a 3-D compter model of a face. The computer will be able to detect the emotion of a person when they see the muscles in their face. To be able to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom will be very benificiary when it comes to how they feel about the thing the school is teaching them. If we continue to advance in technology like we have, then using the computers for lessons will be able to detect weather the child is interested or not. The article states that, " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becomming confused or bored." That way when a child is confused, for those who are too scared to ask for help, the teacher could be alerted and try their best to help the child or maybe even change lessons.
Secondly, the computer system could also be very helpful in a school because of teenage kids and their problems. If a student is feeling very down, then the computer could detect that and try to get help for them. In the world today there are many kids who suffer from depression and anxiety, sometimes school can be too much for them. Therefore, when doing school work if the computer can detect the sadness or overwhelming confusion causing their anxiety to rise it could help them out a lot. The article states that, "In the real smile, the zygomatic major lift the corners of your mouth, while a fake smile the mouth is stretched sideways, using zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorius." This would help the computer detect kids from being actually happy, or just faking it for everyone else.
Third, the computer system could help with kids who struggle with anger. Maybe school makes them angry, or they struggle with the work. With the school fights in the past, and future, i belive this would help detect how kids feel. The computer could watch what the child proceeds to look up on the internet, while also detecting how the child feels. This way, if a child shows signs of harm to themselves or to others, the computer could inform the school and try to give help to the kid. I believe this would only improve the safety of schools while also offering help to the ones that need it.
Fourth, I believe the computer system could help those of us who tend to get very bored or tired. This way when a child is bored or tired the teacher has a way of fixing the problems, or doing more interesting ideas to help you stay focused. Personally, i tend to get very bored when school comes up to topic, so if my teacher had a way of making it interesting for me that would be awesome! I also tend to get very tired so if my teacher is alerted of a child getting sleepy, we could do exercise or stretches to help wake us up.
This computer system would help school coorporations tremendlously because of all the problems kids go through. I believe that every school computer should have this sytem, because i think the techers could have a chance to keep children interested and awake. This could possibly improve attendance and graduation percetages. Getting a kid engaged and interested can be very difficult but i belive this stystem would help a lot! As the article states, " Whoever thought that making faces could reveal so much about the science of emotions!" Truly amazing and helpful! | 4 |

the author that evaluates how well the author supports the idea that studying venus is a worth pursuit despite the danger. by saying " nasa is working on other approaches to studying venus for example some simplified electronis made of silicoin carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating".
This evidence support my claim because the people are studying for big things like how well studying venus is a worthy persuit.
Another claim that evalutes how well the author supports the idea that studying venus is a worth pursuit despite. In paragraph 8 it says" striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has vaule. Not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself.
which exsplain that studying venus is a worth pursuit despite.
The conclusion I have about " the challenge of exploring venus " was . It seem like if u study it its a good thing . because its very important to nasa it says that in the reading . so maybe if u do it you would be succesful. | 1 |
Even though venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide whis is unsurvivable for humans astronomers are fascinated by venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like in our solar system. The author explains that long time ago it was covered by oceans valleys and mountains. Venus has really high temperatures such as 800 degrees fahrenheit or even higher which makes it the planet with the hottest surface in our solar system. But The author says that the NASA's possible solution to this is to "float above the fray". A blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 miles or so above the surface of Venus. These would not be easy conditions but they would be survivable for humans. However "He explains" this is not the best way to go to Venus because could not take samples of rock or the surface of Venus to study them but The NASA says that we could use computers that would probably resist the high temperatures. In conclusion the author explains at the end of the last paragraph that human curiosity will help us to understand how to survive in extreme conditions on other planets; no matter how dangerous they are. | 0 |
Have you ever wanted to be a seagoing cowboy. Well if you have I am going to explain what a seagoing cowboy does and som reasons you should not be an seagoing cowboy.
I think that you should sign up for the seagoing cowboys program because you can see things you never seen before. One place you might be able to see being a seagoing cowboy is China. Second if you really like animales like cows,horeses,or mules you should sign up. Last if you like traveling over sea or never been over seas it will be an awsome experince.
Now I am going to gives some reasons you should not sign up for the seagoing cowboys program. One reason you should not sign up for the seagoing cowboy program is that if you are sea sick and don't like boats you should not be on one for a long distance. Second if you don't like some animales and you think that you can't be on a boat for long distances with them you should not sign up for this program. Last if you are scared of the water or scared of going over bord then you should not be on a boat.
In conclusion you should sign up for the seagoing program only if you like any thing in the first paragraph,but if you don't then you probrobly arn't cut out for the job. But you can always help people,animales,and our environment. Right there in your home town. | 1 |
What do i think about driverless cars? I think they should put a stop to this whole new idea. Its a waste of time and not only a waste of time but i think that theres nothing wrong with the vehicles we have now and making them more advanced doesnt make them a good or better car and Some people think this idea is a good one i disagree and this is why.
Why would you want some man made thing "helping" you or driving your car for you? some people buy cars just so they can be able to drive thereselfs places if not they would take a bus , buses have other people drive other people places. plus, this new idea is a very bad one.. it sounds to me like a death trap like how could you have a mechine drive it self. it doesnt have eyes that can see whats going on in the road? i do not believe in a couputer to aporate my car for me. how would you feel safe if your not the one in control the whole time. i wouldnt want to ride or drive in a car that im not the one in control its different want its an actual person verse a computer.
What if you get into an accident with another car who's fault is it? yours or the cars or the computer aporating the car and if it hits another vehicle that is driving itself whos fault is it? it could be many different situations. another reason why i do not agree with this "driverless cars" is that they are paying money for this driver less cars when it still needs a driver but only sometimes.. you have to wait til its your turn or something? Dr. Werner Huber says "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way." the way cars are made now are fine, why would people want to change it up? Making cars more advanced might seem like a good idea but its not. they said " something not available to drivers trying to text with a cell phone" or even when people want to talk on the phone we already have a safe way of doing it. some cars already have where you can contected your phone to your car with bluetooth. That way people can talk and drive while still staying safe and looking at the road the whole time.
lastley i want to talk about is after they make this driverless vehicles are they going to do away with other vehicles? how many people are going to actual want a computer driving there car for them. I think people are wasting there time and money on something that seems to be just a danger to any and all people and not even just people everything around. paragraph 10 states " automakers are continuing their work on the assumtion that the problems ahead will be solved." i hope all this time and money they are spending is worth it all. they are going to be not only be getting money from people who do decide to actually invest in this idea but they are just going to lose buisness.
in concludtion, what do you think about driverless vehicles? should they keep going on with this amazing idea they think they might have or should they just stop what they are doing and quit wasting time on this when they can be making something else more useful. I think they should stop now because its just going to led to more problems and more injured people. | 3 |
NASA has discovered many incredible supernatural things, but they do not believe any of these situations was caused by the existance of aliens. I do not believe that the Face was caused by aliens.
First of all, the Face does not signify a statue or proof of alien existance. In paragraph 7, the text clearly states, " There was no alien monument after all."
This means that aliens could not have created the Face as a signification or monument to proof thier existance.
Second, the Face is a landform. The Face looks more a landform that could have caused by the harsh weather on Mars. In paragraph 12, the text clearly states,"What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms that are common around the American West." The author also states in the text," It reminds me mostly of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain in Idaho." This means that the Face was a landforms caused by its location on Mars.
CA: Aliens could have made the Face as a siblimal message. They could not have because there is not any evidence that aliens did it. The Face is in the north part of Mars and that is a lava dome that takes form of an isolated mesa.
In conclusion, aliens did not cause the Face on Mars because it is a land form caused by the weather on Mars. If aliens caused the Face on Mars it could have a been more evidence of their existance, and the Face would not look more of a landform. Otherwise, I do not believe the face was caused by aliens, more so of a landform. | 2 |
"What it that? How did it get there? Will we be attacked by marshans?" Yes, these are the questions that a lot of people asked NASA when they found an interesting photo on Mars. The picture is supposedly a "face", but to astronomers, it is just a rock formation.
Hundereds of people think that there was a human head on Mars, but from what astronomers had to say about it, it was the truth. In 1976, NASA got their first look at the "face" on Mars. A couple days later NASA relased the image of the "face" to the public the caption was simple as it states in the text, "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." After that, it was a pop icon, attracting people into learning more about this planet.
The "Face on Mars" became very popular when it came to scaring humans. According to the text it states "It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows-- even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years!" In films, as always, Hollywood would "tweak" the truth to have more people come and see the movie. This was partly the cause of people believing that there is life on mars. However, astronomers are saying that there could have been life on Mars because, of dry river and lake beds on the surface of The Red Planet. Still, that does not prove that there were marshans.
Astronomers are still trying to convince people that there is not life on Mars. According to the text it states "What the picture actually shows ins the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West." This is showing what it really looks like. Besides, from background knowledge it is not possible for a human to live on Mars. There is no oxygen for us to breathe, no water, and no food. Nothing.
Technology has advanced in the past 25 years, showing us clearer pictures in space. This is incuding the "face" on Mars. It will forever be a mystery, but from what astronomers have said it will always be a rock formation. | 3 |
If we had driverless cars for one day what would it be like? Would there be one accident or multiple accidents? What is the catch to the driverless cars? How much would a driverless car cost for just one household? I do not agree with driverless cars because there is always going to be an accident, someone is all going to mess something up.
If we had cars for one day and people would be able to run errands in the car somthing would happen. The gas would burn easily or you wold have to charge the car up every night. Our generation is so high tech that if you want to get in the car you would have to have a username and password. And it shouldn't be that difficult if it is suppose to be a driverless car.
Driverless cars are a waiste of time, a lot of people like to be in control. For example, people like to drive the speed limit and can get frustrated because the driverless car is going under the speed limit.
It would make much more sense if a person was going the speed limit then a driverless car going under the speed limit holding up traffic.
There is always going to be an "accident" and someone is always going to mess up. With a driverless car you can't blame anyone even if it is there fault, which is going to cause huge problems. A person can easily crash into a driverless car and the person in the regular car can't afford to pay for it that is going to be huge problem that is not called for.
Driverless cars are a waist of time and a waist of money. Our country doesn't need the extra debt for driverless cars that are not one hundred percent safe. You can't drive the car without a person actully being in it so what is the point? Driverless cars is a waist to everyone. | 1 |
Diverless cars are they a good idea? There are positive and negative asepcts on this topic. Many still on the subject is it a safe idea for the drivers and pedestrians on the road. Driverless cars completly, can be a safey hazard for the passsengers and the pedestrains. There are possibly more negative aspects on this subject than there are postive here is why.
Driverless cars have been thought of for a while, Google has had prototypes of these cars that can drive independetly under special conditions since 2009. But their cars can't truly ever be driverless but they do have smart systems that alert the driver for hazardous situations that can cause a crash. Yes the idea of driverless cars has evolved and could keep evoloving but there cant be truly driverless cars because of present law. Present law states are written with the assumption that there is a human driver at all times in control. Because of these laws it makes it illegal to test drive computer driven cars in certain states. And laws can be changed but new ones will be in place in order to cover liabilty in case of an accident as so written. There are companies that have plans on releasing cars that can drive themselves in the future whether or not its supported by the pubilc. Automakers will still continue their work with driverless cars assuming the problem with safely issues are solved in the future. But one problem the public might still have against these cars is whether or not the car is better in control by itself or with a human driver who does have caution of pedestrians and other drivers on the road and with passengers in the car. Yes the automakers can try and program their computer systems to do exactly what they are suppose to do but computers dont have the physcological brain system that a person does when commiting a traffic error like a crash that can result in a injury or death. Like said in the passage if an accident were to occur who would be at fault the manufacturer or the owner of the car?
Driverless cars could be a good idea if it had the brain system of a human with causious driving skills and has taken a driving test of some sort but it doesnt its just a computer that has been designed to follow traffic laws and will probably never truly have the safety of passengers and all drivers and pedestrians on the road in mind because it has no mind its a computer. Laws can be changed to continue the research to create the perfect driverless car but safely regulations must be taken in place in order to let one of these cars on the street. | 2 |
In this article, it explains about how dangerous it is to travel and explore Venus. It mentions how our technology cannot last more than a few hours on Venus. From what was described in the first three paragraphs it seems like there is no way that you can travel or explore the planet without any hazards. The author claim's that there is a way to travel and explore the planet without any hazards. The information the author provides to support the idea is that there is a way and its a worthy prusuit despite the dangers there are.
Through out the article after paragraph three the author explains all the ways that make it possible to explore and study Venus. He explains in paragraph four that since Venus is much similar to our planet, Earth, that we should look into Venus again and try to gain more information about the planet. It's the nearest option for a planetary visit so why not. The author mentions in paragraph five that NASA has a idea for sending humans to study Venus in a safe way. Their idea was to have a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above to prevent being near the hot surface of Venus. At this height it will be survivable for humans. This sounds very workable. The only down side is that this makes it harder to study the planet and its surface. The author at the end of the article says that we should be able to travel to any place and should not be stopped or limited by any dangers and doubts.
Many of the authors claims in the article were quite good and were quite reliable. He used NASA to back up his claims about how there is a way to travel and study Venus in a safe way and why we should. Venus is very similar to our planet and it is also the closest planet to us. Even though it might not be easy to travel and explore the planet. We should anyways because this will not be only equally intimidating thing we humans will have face. We might learn some new things that might to lead to other things. | 3 |
that people can still steer and accelerte and slow down with just sensors and you can use half of the fuel and aloowing better response aand reduce power from the engine and the sensors make the car safer to drive . but it may not be safe to drive computer driven cars because of malfinction and that can be dangerous and they have to wait to make sure that is is reliably safe to drive it may not be as easy as they make it seem. sometimes the driver has to take over to pull in and out out of driveways to be on the safe side but the driverless car runs on electrical cables wich may not be safe that runs through radio signals to the front of the car. This may be alot of work to just drive a car beacsue of smarter roads and they need a whole lot of sensors on the car but they are still waiting on the law. | 0 |
.
The Electoral College is a very contreversial topic when it comes to electing a president. Many people think it's a system that works fine, while others think it's a complete disaster. When it comes down to it, the Electoral College is a compromise between electing a president through congress and electing president by popular vote. In the past the Electoral College has caused problems in presidential elections and it can easily cause more problems that are much more severe than what we've seen in the past. America is all about democracy, so why don't the citizens get complete control by being able to elect their president directly? It's about time that the government finds a system that works better and gets rid of the Electoral College once and for all.
The Elecotral College has many flaws, a major one being that voters don't actually vote for their president, they vote for electors, and the elctors are the ones who elect the president. You may ask yourself, "What's wrong with this? One way or another we're still choosing the candidate we want." While that is somewhat true, the system has many kinks that need to be fixed causing errors in the process. One example of this is the "winner takes all" rule. An excerpt from "The Indefensible Electoral College" says "... the electoral college is unfair to voters. Becuase of the winner take all system in each state, candidiates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states". At a basic level, this means candidates will only focus on some states, and giving up on others. In fact, the same article also says "During the 2000 campaign 17 states didn't see the candidates at all..." The facts prove it it, the Electoral College is a flawed, and unfair system, and it needs to be dealt with.
Another huge problem with the Electoral College is called "the disaster factor". According to Bradford Plumer, " The American poeple should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse." Plumer then explains how in Louisiana the legislature almost replaced the democratic candidates with some who opposed John F. Kennedy so that the popular vote wouldn't go to him, but rather someone else. This is a fine example of how corrupt this system can become if someone actually manages to pull something like this off. Other problems like a state sending two slates of electors to congress, or a tie in the electoral vote can happen, and there are some solutions to these problems, but why even go through them when a new system can be created altogether?
People like Richard A. Posner argue that we should keep the Electoral college. Posner believes that the Electoral College balances the weight between big and small states. The Electoral College gives big states less electoral votes and smaller states more to balance things out. I don't see this as balancing anything. Now the smaller states have an advantage over the bigger states, so you still have the same problem you began with. Posner also argues that voters in toss up states are more likely to pay attention to campaigns, but Plumer clearly contradicts this in his article. He states " ... seventeen states didn't see the campaign at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't see a single campaign ad." The proof is irrefutable, the Electoral College has it's loop holes which seem fairly easy to get through. The system is outdated, it's time for a new system to take its spot.
I stand my ground when I say the Electoral College should ber abolished. The people should have full control over the election of our president, and even if that's not possible, the system is very corrupt. While some still agrue that the Electoral College is working fine, the proof shows it isn't. It either needs to be renewed or replaced altogether. | 4 |
the author supports his idea well because there could be fossiles we never even knew exsited on venus and they say that venus is the closest twin to earth so its worth a shot right? honestly we should because what if they discover that venus was like earth and it just changed and killed everything else off and all the oceans and seas evaporated and thats why theres such a thick cloud above it. i honestly think that they should try because what if venus was like earth and there were other types of life forms on there that werent human it could be ground breaking and what if earth is headed to turning out to be like venus. and if we do find fossils and other things to indicate that there was life on venus and it just all died off because of the heat. we could learn how to prevent it happening to earth with future generations. | 0 |
Can you believe there is a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System that can identify your emotion? I believe this system would be outstanding to use in a classroom because this system can look at a students face and determine their emotion. Just like any new system there are going to be advantages and disadvantages, so those need to be taken into consideration. In summary, I stongly believe that schools should begin using the Facial Action Coding System in school.
What is the Facial Action Coding Sysytem and how does it work? This system is a computer that builds a 3-D computer model of the face that you are testing. Then, the computer analyzes the face movement. For instance, when the muscle above the eye moves and
eyebrows are rasied the emotion is conveyed as suprised. Now, there are also many other emotions that the computer can read like happiness, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. In summary, this system is a process that works by analyzing a face and the face movements of a person to determine their emotion.
There are
many outstanding reasons why this program could be valuable for students in a classroom. First of all, this system can show how students are feeling. When a student is feeling sad or scared someone will know and they can help the student that is feeling those emotions. In addition, this program shows many emotions. For instance, a student will know when another student is happy, sad, suprised, angry, scared, or disgusted. Now, most of all classrooms have the shy students who are scared to talk, so by using this, the students teacher or other classmates can recognize the shy students emotion and help them through it. In wrap, students and teachers would be able to talk more easily about their emotions with one another by using this program.
Using the Facial Action Coding System could potentially be useless for students to use in schools. Many people aroud the world use different facial expressions for different emotions. By using this program, it could become inaccurate due to students not using similar expressions for each emotion. For example, some students don't smile as broadly as others so they may not be considered as happy as other students convey. Now, home PC's can't handle complex algorithms, so how is a teachers outdated PC going to handle this program? Many teachers still use PC's that are out of date and very ancient, so teachers won't be able to demonstrate how this emotion reading system opperates. In addition, students may also not be able to utilize this system becasue their PC might be unable to handle complicated algorthisms as well.
The Facial Action Coding System could become valuable to students in classrooms. Although the system has many disadvatages like reading an emotion inaccuratly; I strongly believe that this system could work wonders for students in classes everywhere. In summary, because of the ability to recognize many emotions, this program could become extremely valuable to students in classrooms all around the world. | 3 |
The Face on Mars is just a natural landform there was no real evidence of it being showned to be formed by aliens.
As
I looked at the evidence and the photos that the scienctist gave me they showed that in 1976 the face was full of dust and etc. Which could have formed the face from probably erosion of the dust or even the illusion of the human eyes,mouth, and nose .
For Example in the article I read a passage that said "Although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact" , they had no real proof of it being this .
Then another photo that I recieved from the team in 1998 showed that Face started to show as if it was unmasking itself for us to see, which had probably given NASA the thought of it being an alian artifact , but still they had no real proof of it being this .
I read a passage and it said " And so on April 5,1998 , when Mars Global Surveyor few over Cydonia for the first time ,Miachael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos .Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the first image appeared on JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.
But still not evryone was actually satisfied . So on April 8,2001 (MGS) drew close enough for a second look . And Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. Each Pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters , compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo.
In Conlusion, there was never any real proof of the Face on Mars being an alien monument the only proof that NASA had was based off of opinions. They had no Factual evidence. | 2 |
The Face has many reasons that in may be from aliens, but there are also many reasons against it. How you choose your final answer will have to do with your world view. Your mind may change once you hear different information.
May 24, 2001 was when the Face was first spotted. There were no other other landforms or artifatcts spotted on this mission. This is the first problem. If there were aliens that previously inhabited the plant, why would there be no other evidence? The only factor making it appear to be an Egyptian Pharaoh was the shadows casted on the rest of the structure. Though Michael Malin was able to get closer,clearer pictures of the landform, it still did not give straight evidence that aliens exsisted. If the Face did prove that aliens did once walk Mars, why would they be Egyptian? Scientist can only compare the structure to what they know, which is not much. Since the Face is equal to a mesa or butte, how would that be possible? Mesas and buttes are not caused by man, but by erosion and natural processes. The Face was most likely formed by coincidence.
Though there is no exact explanation for the Face on Mars, it is still interesting. If you belived in aliens, you would believe in is an artifact left by "Martians". If you do not believe in aliens, you would simply believe it happened because of natural processes as if it were a mesa or butte. Without proper evidence, we are left to believe in whatever we would like. | 1 |
I think driver less cars are the best iventions ever! Why drive when you have a car that does for you! In "Driverless cars are coming" they have great examples and postive reasons on why to get one! Driverless cars use up half of the fuel of todays' taxis and it is also more flexable than a bus. These new cars could fundamentally change the world! It can drive more than a half a million miles without a crash. The driverless car also alerts the driver to take the wheel when dealing with road work, traffic issues, drive ways, and accidents. But the car will not allow u text on your cell phone whens it your turn to drive, It has a built in system that will turn off your cell phone for you!
Although there are some great positive reasons to get this car there are also some negatives. The driverless car is illegal in Florida,California,and Nevada. Even though its a great ivention these cars can be very expensive! Also if an accident occurs while in this care the driver will still be held responsible. There also would need to be abunch of new laws made for these cars too.
I for one am alot about the car. I would buy one myself and I encourage you to do the same! If one night you are coming from work and are very tired, you could just sit back and relax and the the car do its thing! Another advantage is that if you think your under the influence for driving and don't want to take the risk in driving, dont worry the driverless car can take you home safe without you driving. I would like to have one when im older and cannot drive that well anymore! | 1 |
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
The reason that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is because, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, It's really fun, theres lots of games to play, and t you can make friends, also that you can see diffrent countrys!
The first reason you should join the program is that it's a once in a life time opportunity. Just like Luke said, because if you got asked if you wanted to join and you said no chances are that their not going to ask you again. Manly because there not going go spend a long time looking for you to ask you again. Luke took the opportunity as soon as his best friend asked him.
Another reason you should join the program is that it'll be really fun. You'll be able to make freinds and hang out with them when your not busy. Luke, more than likely, made a ton of friends.
The third reason you should join the program is that theres fun games to play! After everyone is done doing what there suppose to and theres nothing left to do you can play games. 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. Luke loved playing these games!
The last reason you should join the prgram is that you can go and see a lot of diffrent countrys, if your lucky enough. Such as China, Acropolis which is in Greece, and Europe. You might even be able to sail the Atlantic ocean, just like Luke did.
So you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program so you can do all of these cool stuff like making friend, seeing Europe, And China. You never know this program could open the world to you, just like it did to Luke! All of these thing Luke did don't you want to do these things to? | 2 |
yes i think the use of the new technology called the (Facial action coding system) would be a good use because of they way they use it because that way you can tell and know the way a person really feels about you. Like for example like if your in class and you wanted to see like if you were the student you wanted to see how the teacher really felt about you, Just like if you were the teacher and you wanted to see how all your different students felt too and it would let yk the exact way how that perticular person felt at that time. You would also know if that student had something really wrong with them like if something was going on outside of school or like at home or like if they just had something really heavy they needed to get off their chest and they probably just needed someone to talk to and you could be that person that could really help them out and be the one to lift their sperit up. | 1 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author writes about a great number problems that come along with trying to get information on the our planetary neighbor, Venus. We, the readers, learn in detail about the specific challenges that come along with studying Venus, even with its close proximity to us. Despite the author describing all of the struggles that come along with studying our sister planet, the passage still supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthwile pursuit, through giving us strong examples of useful information we could learn, and describing safer and easier ways that we could study it that would make it far more simple to get the desired data.
While there are certainly many difficulties that the passage describes about getting information from Venus, the author thoroughly explains all of the great scientific benefits that we could get out of a Venus mission. As the author describes in paragraph four, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." Not only will information about Venus teach us more about the universe around us, it might just be useful in order to study our own planet. Being able to learn so much from what a previous Earth could have been like would be a massive benefit to fields like history, and the earth sciences. The author goes into even more detail about this just afterward, describing how "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." Not only are they similar from a geological perspective, it could provide vital information to the studies of biology, and possibly even support details about where we came from to begin with. There are hundreds, if not thousands of scientists specifically studying the cosmos trying to find planets with water that even have a small chance of supporting any form of life. The potential for further discovery here only a short distance away is extrodinary, and the author wisely emphasizes this through the passage.
Not only is the possibility for fascinating exploration and gaining crucial information about the Earth from Venus supported, the author also makes the important point that we are coming closer and closer by the day to this becoming a reality. In the seventh paragraph the author discusses this idea. "For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." When they put some of the brightest engineers in the world to a specific task of making electronics that could survive in Venus, the results were successful, as they made them able to survive for almost a month. While a month doesn't sound like a long time for the equipment to last, the author mentions later on in the passage that "Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme phyisical conditions." The most delicate part any device that would land on Venus would be the electronics inside any rover or measuring equipment. The great advances in the durability of these electronics points toward an optimistic future in devices designed for Venus, as we are already seeing incredible progess being made. However, what would happen if they couldn't find a way around the delicacy of modern computers? The author proves that wouldn't be the end of our Venus hopes, that mechanical computers can be utilized in order to avoid easily broken hardware. Even in the worst case scenerio, our scientists are still devising ways to land a probe on Venus.
Though the author presents some great challenges in getting samples and other data from Venus, he strongly supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit through the development of new and better ways to survive the harsh atmosphere, and information that could be gained from it that is useful to studying scientific and historical fields back here on Earth that he mentions in the passage. The human race, throughout history, has always remained curious and are willing to sacrifice and go through long periods of experimentation to acheieve knowledge. We have faced these struggles as humans before, and this will not be the struggle that stops us. | 5 |
You should join the UNRRA for these good reasons, you can see amazing sights while on the seas, when the ship ride is over you not only can help people in need but you get to explore the ruins of Greece and China. Other reasons you should join the UNRRA are, you can join at the early age of 18, and you could be military drafted. In addition to all these reaons not only is being a sea cowboy a opprotunity of a life time it feels special to help people in need!
Joining the UNRRA only has a few simple steps you can start at the age of 18 and sometimes you will need to travel over the seas more then once. The trip to China and back will take a month and sometimes you might get sea sick. You also need to feed the animals aboard three times a day and they need to get water too. At times travling among to ship can be dangerous in result of storms and difficulties but not to worry just remeber what your here for.
But after you work has come to an end its safe to say that you helped people after world war 2. Also its a good feeling to do so and have a great adventure as well. in addition to that you get to meet new people along the ride and tell them about your adventures along the sea as well. | 1 |
The face was not created by aliens on mars. The things that make it appear as a face are the shadows and the quality of which the picture was taken. The Face is just a rock formation, the fact that the shadows make it look like a face is simply just a coincidence.
If you look at the picture of the Face, you can see the black shadows on the figure, if you were to remove those shadows, it would most likely not look like a face anymore. The passage says "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadowss that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." The passage also says "huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving it the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." Key word, illusion.
The original picture shown in the passage wasn't taken at a very high quality. The passage states "And so on April 5,1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web servers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL website, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." This paragraph clarifies that the low quality original picture, along with the shadows, is what made it appear as a face. The Face is just a rock formation that looks like a face, nothing more than that.
All in all, the Face was not made by aliens and it is just a rock formation with a cool looking shadow. Though these alien theories are fun to believe in, the alien theory of this case is false. | 2 |
Are driverless cars good or bad? Reliable or unproductable? Can they benifit us in the future? Or will it cause danger?.
For many years scientists have tested cars that can make driving alot easier for us in the near future. I honestly think driverless cars are an unproductable invention and can cause danger. It seems to me that it may or will cause alot more accidents than texting while driving or drinking while driving. For example, say if there are driverless cars in the future, and you or a group of friends are going on a road trip. The car is on auto pilot and you are drinking or texting, reading, listening to music, and/or perhaps sleeping. The car may not signal or warn you that their is traffic, or on road construction uphead. The car may cause you to get in trouble for not paying attention and taking control when neccassary, and/or may cause a horrbile accident. This can and will cause conflict between you and the manufacturer. This can cause a huge debate on driverless cars ; are they dependent and reliable enough or are self service cars safer?.
Driverless cars may indeed help those who are in need of going from one place to another such as senior citizens, legally blind, etc. But it may also put them in danger without them knowing. Another example, if you are a handicap, legally blind, or deaf, you may be in grave danger. The car again is on autopilot and is driving through a neighborhood and there are signs everywhere to when and where to stop, if there is construction, or there are people crossing the streets. You come to a stop at a stop sign, you are not paying attention, you are oblivious to your surroundings when doing other things. The car will go head but there is a car coming from the other side of the street where there is no stop sign. You and the other person collide. Now remember, the car is supposed to be an upgrade, advanced in technology. The car has sensors to sense if there is danger but the car may have a flaw. This again will bring conflict and debate. This can lead people to believe that driverless cars are unsafe and unproductive and is a liabilty. But say you were paying attention to your surroundings, instictively, you would look left and right. The car will go foward but, there is a car coming from the other side (remember there is no stop sign for the other car to stop at) you and that person collide. Again, the car is to have warned you but if you were alert, you would have taken control of the car when driving through a neighborhood.
Either way to me, driverless cars are dangerous no matter what. There not industructible and cannot always be depended on. They may be smart and advance but even the greatest technology can be a danger and liability. | 3 |
Scientists are always finding new things in the solar system, they have been since we figured that we weren't the only planet around. Sometimes I sit and wonder, was earth the original planet or are there aliens? When I look at the sky I see all kinds of stars and shiny things, even Venus, also known as the Evening Star. The author says that we should explore Venus since it is so easy to spot in the night sky. I agree with him, but there are many dangers involved.
The author talks about all the dangers in space travel to Venus, but why? If he is trying to claim we should go why add them? He does to support his claim actually. On Venus, there is a thick atmosphere of 97 percent carbon dioxide, with clouds made of sulfuric acids. To make things worse it can get up to 800 degrees, and have atmospheric pressere 90 times more that earth. It could even crush a submarine. Why would the auther even include those? It would make it seem impossible to get there and survive, the robots they've sent have even melted, but he adds these to make a stronger claim on why we should go there. He states "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation."
The author says we should go even with all the dangers since it could lead to new information. Venus is also the closest making it eaiser to get to despite the harms. A major thing he claims to support Venus is worth studing is that it still has some earthly qualities. He wrote "Long ago, Venus was probably coverd largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth." He says that because that planet could of been habitual and could be crucial to information we need about the solar system. This article makes me wonder if humans first lived Venus.
If this planet is so important for scientific information, how do we get there and not die? The author has the idea that if we hover 30 miles over the ground there then we would be safe. Planes do that to avoid storms by flying over the storm clouds so that should work for the planet. Most of the harmful conditions are on the ground level of Venus. The author says "At thirty-plus miles above the surface, tempertatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth." He adds that in there to support the idea of going while being safer. That does have its disadvanteges like not being able to see the ground very well or be able to take samples. To get around that situation, he says we can use some technology used in WW2. Our electronics today are delicate to extreme conditions, but things made with mechanical parts can withstand pressure.
We are still left with the question, should be go? I say yes. The author supports his claim well by adding what could happen and how to get around it. If we were to do his idea we would get limited insight but we would be one step closer to understand the solar sytem's planet. | 4 |
The views of having cars that drive without the driver actually having some sort of interaction is crazy. Three main points im going to discuss are, what are possible promblems that we'll face, what would happen if the vechile is involved in an accdient, and where would the cars today go.
What are possible promblems we could face? Some problems are could face are that where would we get the pieces to fix the car. Where would the car work best on the cement road or does ot have to be a specific road. What if someone cant afford the car. I'll be honest i think the cost fir a vehicle so well advanced and luxurious would be hard to keep maintained. Its already hard enough for us to keep our vehicle up to date. Just imagagine a typical Audi that is normal, leather seats, back up camera, and bluetooth. That Audi would only cost
bit over $25,000. Now imagine an Audi with those same features, the cost may go a nit higher. In conclusion i think its redicuolis for a car to cost a lost more fo the same features except it drives its own self.
What would or may happen if a driveless car gets into an accdient? I would think that the car would have the fault because it should have sensors that should detect where and when the vechile is in danger. It also shouldnt make the driver accontable for what happened. If the vechile crashed thats on the manufacturers part. They should be aware of whats happening with the vechile beforenhand. The driver purchesed the vechile because they trust that the manufacture knows that the specific vechile has been tested in every element and that its been proven safe for any human being to drive. All in all my point is that if a crash happens it should be the manufactures fault because the vechile should be safe enough to drive.
Where the cars from today go? If the cars that are driveless come into the picture of the future would cars from today still be around for those who cant afford it. They would still possibly be around but they would have a seprate lane for them. Which isnt really fair but still. They wouldnhave some sort of sticker indicating what kind of car they are, but why would you want to have a sticker that indetifes what specific car you have. I would think that the cars still look the same but instead have some sort of indificton saying what kind it is. I hate how they would do something like that. It propstrious . In my words nothing not even cars should be judged.
In conclusion no matter what ends up happining in the futue lets just hope that all those things listed above happen. It would be cool if something like that happen. Will it? I have no clue but what do i personaly think of this whole topic. Well it sounds like an interesting idea of this happening and if it does happen it would have its flaws and it would have its amazing outputs. Ill be honest something this exciting, interesting, and cool would be interesting to have. | 3 |
The "Facial Action Conding System" would be a good technique for teachers to see if the students were paying attention during class, and if they were not how could they help him improve. Using this system would be beneficial for all in the class room because they will be aware of it and if something bad happens they can see the video tape.
The system of recognizion is based to describe your emotions on certain things like as, if someone is not feeling well or if they need help with their work. We as humans, have a different variety of emotions that we can easily detect just by looking at their face. Most people will have the same face reaction all day meaning, if someone has a angry face and someone ask him if everything is ok, his respond is yes, is that his emotions and feelings do not interacts with his face reaction. In the Mona Lisa smile you can see like a pervert smile but at the same time, an inoccent. Determining different emotions associated with the facial muslces can truly help teachers to ditermine basic and normal emotions but also to see mixed emotions. As the Author says, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal.", this means that not everyone will demonstraste how they feel in the inside, which not all students will have the same reaction during school and classes.
In conclusion, the facial action of recognition is some how bad, because students can act different if they know that there is a digital system recording them all the time, and can be good for them to pay more attention in class. | 1 |
Scientists believe Venus is dangers and some think Venus is the "most earth-like planet in our solar system. Some dangers is " not a single spaceship has touched down on venus in more than three decades." The author makes it clear that there is both good and bad about Venus. Some of the things that readers can notice is that there's a lot of intresting facts about Venus and how little scientist actually know about Venus. Venus is the second planet from the sun and occasionally orbit the sun a different speeds. If Venus is the most earth-like planet then why do scientist find it so hard to find out more about venus. A reason is "800 degrees fanrecheit atmosphere preseure is 90 times greater." Venus is the nearest option for a planetary visit. If " hostile conditions on surface of venus would allow scientist to float above the fray." Many researches are working on innovations that would allow machines to last long enough to contribute knowledge of venus. It would be so cool if scientist and researches could one day come up with an innovation to be able to find more about venus. If venus is actually a second earth-like there can probally be another earth. So yes, venus is worth studying despite the dangers it represents. | 1 |
Driverless cars should be incouraged because there are so many positve benefits that come from it like the fact that individuals would have easier transportaion. It could also possibly be good for the economy because the less fuel the car intakes. Another probable benefit would be non-use of oil since the cars could be controlled by electricity. It could be, with the right type of technology, safer than a regular car.
These benefits can be shown when the author says, " The cars he forsees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." The author also says, " Without the option of smarter roads manufacturers turned to smarter cars-but how much smarter did the cars need to be? For starters, they needed a whole lot of sensors...The combonation of all this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel." This is significant because these drivelrerss cars can use gas more efficeintly and possibly stop the use of oil. It is also significant because with all these sensors, maybe in the future, the driverless car can be safer because it will act as if a human were actually driving a car, and it could mimic the way we drive more accurately.
In conclusion Driverless Cars are a positive future investment because of the many benefits that come from it. Like the effecient use of gas and the deduction of oil used. Also the possibility of a very safe interface due to the advanced technology utilized. Though in the end these driverless cars will mostly benefit our everday lives. Like in the way we travel, it could be a faster way of transportation than regular cars. This investment can change the world. | 1 |
The author supports this idea because he brings it up more than once. For instance in the beginning of the passage the author mentions that the spacecraft has used cameras and other robots. The sad part is they didn't survive more than a few hours."humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than few hours."
The author gives details on certain things that we should be aware of. He doesn't just release it with one fact and stay with that. He tells the people about stuff we already know about or things that aren't healthy for humans. "A thick atomsphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venu's atomsphere. On the plansureface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atomspheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experince on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth;" As humans we know what nhow our bodies will react to tempatures like that. The author isn't sugarcating anything for humans.
My conclusion to this is that the author he is telling the truth despite the dangers like possibly dying before coming within two feet of the atomsphere that Venus is a worthy pursuit the only problem is how can we pursuit it if we have nothing that can make it past it. What the author does here is really let us know the dangers then explain why it's like that. That really helps because if i didn't have that i'd be confused out of my mind. | 2 |
The Unmasking Face on Mars is just a natural landform on Mars. Many objects on Earth can resemble a face it could just be a mountain of sand that some how looks like a face. In the article it claims of huge rock formation that "resembles" a face. The picture was taken by a space craft at a far away distance forming shadowing giving the "illusion" of a nose, eyes, and mouth.
First, the reason why the "face" is a natural landform is because on Earth you can compare a face in many objects around you. Some natural landforms on Earth such as Middle Butte in the Snake river Plain of Idaho looks like it has a face also. You can make out a face in even day to day objects. Even a tree near your neighborhood could look like a "face".
Secondly, the reason why the "face" is just a natural landform is because the huge rock formation causes shadows. The shadows of the huge formation of rock can create the illusion of a face. The shadows can make it look like it has a nose, eyes, and mouth like structure in cases such as this one.
Lastly, the "face" on Mars is a natural landform because the photo was taken by a satelite. The pictures come in pixels meaning it could come out blury or unclear to clarify. The shadowing of the mound also gives the illusion in the picture of a "face". The "face" on Mars is only a natural landform that was mistaken as something else more than that because of the illusion of a face. | 2 |
Risk taking has been a huge part in our world's history. If we didn't take risks, nothing would progress and we wouldn't advance anymore as humans after the we had what we needed for survival. In fact, we might not even have what it takes to survive. Exploration will always be a large part in taking risks and it there will always be something mroe for us to explore, it's inevitable. Venus is not any different than what we have ever gone through. Are there challenges? Sure. Are there ways to go around those challenges? Always. There are so many interesting parts about Venus that we have yet to explore. Signs of natural resources can show that there could have been life and could possibly become a crutial part of Earth and its inhabitants, being the neighbor planet.
Venus is one of the closer planets to Earth along with Mercury. Though it is hard to explore due to its conditions, Venus has a lot of similar features as Earth. With valleys, mountains, and craters, Venus has increased many peoples interests with its mysterious layers and what was shown to come before space exploration. This would create a large impact on humans around the world, not just knowing by knowing that we conquered a great quest to recieve more information and useful data, but by creating an idea that no matter what comes your way, you can overcome it and go above and beyond other peoples expectations. The dangers of Venus is just an obstical over the pot of gold. Exploring Venus would change the world and just might save us if we're ever in that time of need, never say never.
On the contrary, Venus does have large setbacks that could hold us back from doing so. Like the planets surface temperature, 800 degrees fahrenheit is a lot higher than any human can handle, along with 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets that create the atmosphere for the planet. Although these conditions would be harsh, humans could survive with the correct equipment and strong motivation. Just like during any new accomplishments, you have to be patient. Nothing will come to you if you try to rush the process, but if you are patiently waiting and working hard, it could lead to a greater impact. Technological advancments will also play an unbeliveably large part it what makes this possible. Without advancements, nothing new will get created and we won't be able to reach the surface or get any closer than we have today.
In conclusion, the best way to get to know something better is to get to the surface or maybe even below the surface. You won't truly know anything more unless you create a path to. In order to create beneficial to this Earth, you have to take risks, put yourself out there and do it. It won't get done itself and if you aren't going to, then who will? Venus and its conditions is just an obsitcal leading to something great and innovative. | 3 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author does a good job to prove that Venus is a worhty pursuit despite the dangers that are presented, they do this by giving information based on actual conditions, studies and actual experiences. The author used a combination of all three of these to prove their claim that Venus is worth the danger.
The conditions in Venus are a great mix of specific material. The author thoroughly explains each part of the atmosphere in Venus. The text says that " These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an enviroment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquify metals." They are proving that the conditions on Venus would exceed anything that our bodies could handle.
Despite saying this, they make a point when they begin into the discussion of the education it could bring us. In the text it is shown that "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet it our solar system." The author supports his argument very well when they say this. They used a status stand point which gives the author more credibility. He then forms a question within the text, by doing this it brought them the opportunity to show the research they had conducted for this writing piece.
The author brought in the research on the true experiments that were thought up through NASA. He builds up NASA's ideas by explaining to the deepest points, but never hits an oppostion until the next paragraph. When they do this it creates an amazing idea that could have the possibility to work imaged into the readers heads.
They eventually hit the oppostition and shows the down fall with NASA's great plan. They state in the text that " More importatnly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and persoanl despite the risks." When the author decides to say this they prove the irony of it all. If you can't be up close and personal with the planet then you can't learn the reasons you truly cannot be. From the opposing standpoint it was supported very well once they did that.
They then go back on track to support their claim. They do this by explaining the experiments done in the past. They state a comparison to the readers when they say, " Just imagine exposing a cell phone tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin," This comment that was made impacts the writing positvely. When they do this it gives the readers something to think about or imagine. It brings the issue to them and gives them a chance to relate somehow.
The conclusion that he provides gives a clear closing. He states his claim again and uses his evidence to bring the topic to a point. The closing gives you something to think about, it leaves you wondering about the topic and forming your own opinions. In the conclusion it states, " Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet te very edges of imagination and innovation." The right thing is to not starve us from the education that could be provided just because of a dangerous boundary. All of the evidence that they have stated and proven through the whole essay just ends with them eventually just stating that it is the right thing to do.
The author does a good job of proving this through the whole essay. | 4 |
Unidentified Object
Scientific observations at NASA leads us to belive that the theory of an alien face on mars is fake. The idea that the object is anything more than a natural mesa on the planet is not backed up by proven facts.
Theories of the mesa on mars actually being some sort of alien face or object have no proof. NASA has refrenses from our own planet to compare the object to, and high-resolution camers to photograph the object. While skeptics on the other hand, have nothing more than thier own personal beliefs. Unfortuianly the rest of NASA and other people in general belive otherwise.
After researching the landform it saows resemblence of a mesa. The "face" actually had the researchers think of formations in the American West that would become a type of dome shape that would form from lava. That theory has a decent amount of real life facts compared to the alien theory. So far that is the best theory NASA has on what the object is.
In the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" whilst reading throught the fifth paragraph, they quote that defenders of NASA's budget wish there was an ancient civilation on Mars. This made me wonder why they would think that. It's because it would be more than just a landform like a mesa. They would have more to look into than just a face looking terrain. But being scientists they realized it was not as much as they'd hoped for. Therefore having no reason to lie about the mesa.
However putting myself in the shoes of a person who wouldn't know about all these facts or opinions, I could see why these beliefs are taken seriously. But that's why we have researchers like NASA. To look into theories with more knowledge behind them and see how they turn out afterwords.
After all the pictures, refrenses, and comparisons, the face of Mars should be known as a mesa, and not an alien artifact. However there are always more people that will belive it is alien. But that's just a theory. | 3 |
Join in the Seagoing Cowboys program! We help countries recover thier food supplies and take care of horses, young cows, also mules that are shipped to us over seas. It will be a wonderful opportunity for small town boys (Luke's words). 44 nations joined together to form this group UNRRA (the united states Relief and Rehabilitation). And they hired us to help them.
It will be an adventure to travel all over the world helping people and animals (also Luke's words). We have alot of fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. Besides the benefit of helping people we travel the world we go to different countries with friends that soon become family on this adventure.
We play games such as baseball, volleyball, boxing, fencing reading, whitteling and more! Once you join you will realize all of the good things you have done for people animals that are in need of our assistance. this job requirs alot of work and we keep you busy! But most importantly it is a job to help animals and people in needs. | 1 |
Dear state senator, as time moves on things needs to change. The way we vote for our president is unfair, outdatede, and irrational.
It is time we change things and move to a election by popular vote.
The electoral college was founded many years ago by The Founding Fathers. It was a compromise between the election of our President. It selected electors thats would put the vote in after we voted. It was a great idea back then... I think it is time we change this and let the people vote. We cann't use the same ways as time moves on. This should be an election for the people.
In the electoral voters don't even vote for the president. They vote for than elector. This could very well be anyone holding public office. People sometimes get confused and vote for the wrong candiddate. Back in 1960 louisiana nearly succeeded in replacing all demoratic electors with ones that oppose John F. Kennedy. Somestimes faithless electors have refused to vote for their party. This is outrageous! What is this happens again. With the time and place we are at now these things should not be happening.
Futhermore, the people should elect who becomes OUR president. We are the that have to live with this president. Another reason is because its unfair to voters, the winner-takes-all system shows that caue candidates don't spend time in states they know wont will. And if the electoral college gets a tie it would be horrifying. Leaving it up to the House of Representatives.
All of this is to show that electoral college should be Abolished. This is outdated, unfair, and irrational use. Putting our faith in people we don't know has caused problems. | 2 |
"Driverless Cars Are Coming," is an article about driverless cars that have been in development for a while, but have been becoming even more revalent in the recent years. Essentially the cars will be able to drive themselves, but have a human passenger who would take over just in case the car would notbe able to handle the road by itself. From retrospeck this could like a good idea but we have to understand what we would be getting ourselves into with these driverless cars. We can not be one hundred percent safe in these cars, humans will become more lazy, and we do not need them. I am against the delopment of these cars.
No matter how hard we try with this new technolagy we can never be one hundred percent safe with the use of it. So we need to ask ourselves is it really worth it letting the car drive itself when you can just drive yourself? Many bad things could happen, such as: the car not knowing it can't handle a certain situation. If the car does not know, chances are you might not either because you were not the one driving and truly controlling it. The car can malfunction while it is driving you and you can get seriously injured. Let us not forget that there are other people on the road, and if one of the driverless cars can't control where it is going it can hurt somebody else that is on the road and that is not fair.
Driving isn't that difficult once you learn how to do it. Even with the driverless cars I'm sure people are going to have to learn to drive if they have the chance to control it if it can not figure out a certain situation. Why be lazy and have someone else drive you if you've taken the time to learn yourself. We already have so much stuff that helps us in our cars we have today.
This is just going to cause more people to text and drive, and if they do need to takeover they probably will not be ready. We do not need them. Instead of focusing on new cool driverless cars lets focus on other thinks like texting driving, how to improve our roads, how to be more safe, better rules to set in place when it comes to driving. We should not add something new and crazy to the mix when we already have a lot to deal with it and get under control.
I am not totally against the idea of ever having driverless cars, but we really do not need them any time soon. They are not always safe, humans need to control the driving, and if we don't need them then why have them. It will be a lot of spent making a bunch of these cars. Let us improve the cars we have now and the rules we have now. Let's improve our behavior on the road. Then we should discuss whether or not we should be gettting driverless cars on the roads for regular people in a few years. Do we really know if the problems ahead with be solved? Not really, so we should not just come to that assumption. So for now I would have to polietly object to the idea of continuing to spend money devolpong the driverless cars and getting them on the road. | 3 |
There is a use for the technology being able to read human emotions. Emotions are fundamental and a visceral characteristic of people to communicate. So why not have artificial intelligence to aid in helping that, especially in class?
According to the paper "Making Mona Lisa Smile", it speaks of classifying emotions using the Mona Lisa and its stats. It was impressive, but does humanity need it? Answers point to yes. It could improve the people's satisfaction of the technology like the examples of , '...modify the lesson' and, "make computer-animated faces more expressive". It can help students to alter the work to be understandable and inviting if it alters itself for lessons.This can help the student retain the information and be invigorated to learn as boredom leaves the students face. There are also many other possibilties as online communication becomes more vital that others can tell how the others feel to aid in situations where it is important in class discussion and whatnot. It can also help with therapy to keep track of the patient. This technology can provide with many benefits, but can be countered for it being slightly invasive too. Although, sometimes tools have both sides of the table, it is needed in classrooms.
As it is somewhat taxing for computers now to read emotions, emotions are valuable and important to know for technology to be able to utilize that would be a tremendous help in the classroom. | 2 |
I was a Seagoing Cowboy. I help feed the horses that are getting tranported to Europe. I remember that one time I tried to convince some other people to join the program. It didn't go so well.
"I don't like the sea air", "I hate the ocean", " I can't swim", "What we get tropedoed? I can't swim", I have allergies to horses". These are exuses I get when I try to convince other people to join the progam I am in. I did convince some, but not a lot. Most think that I am a creep. They try to get away from me. I am always sad when I see them walk away, but at least I tried. Eventuly I gave up trying to convince them.
So here I am, on the sea, thinking about the people that I tried to get them to join. Every time that I thought about them, I think about what they are doing right now. When I was discharged, I went off to find every single one of the people and tell about my journys. They always say the same thing. "I wish I joined the program." Then we have a good talk about what they did while I was overseas. I feel like that I have more friends than I used to before. | 0 |
The Face on Mars was not made from an ancient alian civilization. We have proof of this because our cameras are ten times sharper than the cameras we had to orginally photograph the face, the shadows just create an illusion that the formation is a face, and the Face on Mars has been confirmed to just be a mesa.
The first photo we had of the Face on Mars was taken in 1976 by Viking 1, which would not have had the most advanced cameras. The photo is blurry and unclear, not a very reliable source to base alien belief on. Even the photo in 1998, "snapped a picture ten times sharper than the orginal Viking phtos." Compare the photo from 1976 to the photo taken in 2001. The 2001 photo clearly shows that the Face on Mars is in fact not a face at all. Any belief that the Face on Mars was created by aliens should now be wiped away because of how clearly the photo shows that the Face is just a landform.
When the original photos were taken in 1976, there was the illusion that there was a face staring right back at the Viking 1. Shadows around the Face created this illusion that made it look like and Egyptian Pharaoh. When the 1976 photo was released for people to see, the caption read, "huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." Even the experts immediately recognized the Face on Mars as just a natural landform with shadows.
Though some people believed the Face was an alien artifact, this theory is disproved quickly because in truth the Face on Mars is just a mesa. The Face on Mars is in the area of Mars known as Cydonia. Cydonia is known for having lots of Martian mesas. Martian mesas are very similar to mesas or buttes found in the American West. Chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program Jim Garving quotes, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Which is a lava dome the takes the form of an isolated mesa, and is approximately the same hight as the mesa known as the Face on Mars.
Though some theorists still believe that the Face on Mars was created by aliens, it turns out to be just a Martian equivalent of a mesa. This is proved true by the advanced camera quality, the proof that it was just shadows creating the illusion that the Face on Mars was actually a face, and the fact that the Face has been confirmed to just be a mesa. | 3 |
The driverless car seems like an interesting invention that could possibly keep drivers safe and form good habits, but what if it just makes the problem worse?
The driverless car is new to us and it might give us a hand on the road. There is also the possibility that the cars malfunction or don't respond to commands. These cars are part of the age of technology and we all know that it's not always helpful.
Smart cars take a long time to assemble and adjust to. With all of the sensors, motion sensors, and a GPS, there hass to be something on the car that hasn't been looked over. The GPS has to update to be aware of it's own surroundings. That may seem like a handy feature but GPS's aren't always right and this could lead to trouble.
The sensors in the car are able to detect danger on the roads but they can only detect a certain distance away. In the 1980s, automakers used speed sensors at the wheels to detect out-of-control skids and rollovers. They have advanced to be able to signal the brakes when this happens. These operations stilll need improvements though.
The big problem nowadays is texting and driving. The roads are a lot more dangerous with people constantly getting distracted on the road and this has caused many injuries and deaths. Now how would a car that can operate itself, help to get rid of these habits? The answer is, they don't! Allowing drivers to take it easy on the roads and be lazy isn't going to help anything. Adding alarms to the car can lower accindent rates but people shouldn't need to be alarmed of danger. Driver's should be watching the roads like a hawk does it's prey. Adding safety features can only do so much to keep someone safe. What is needed most is a feature that can break these habits of bad drivers. "Some manufacturers are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver."
That's actually a good thing to make sure people behave right when driving. If the driver forms better habits, then we wont have a thing to worry about. Sensors to detect pedestrians and other cars coming provide better transportation and lower accident rates. "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe." With these new advancements to personal transport, we are making the world a little safer.
That doesn't mean that we saved the world from the apocalypse or anything. | 3 |
It is equivalent to a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American west. Garvin says that its just the shading of the area that makes it look like a face. Over the years the face changes it starts to change shape or crust over and because of that it makes it look like a natural landform. NASA wouldn't have sent it out if they really thought is was alien. Some people think that the face is a bona fide for evidence that there is life on mars, but NASA would hide that information. they only sent the image out to get more peoples attention towards mars. They most likely sent out on the web to stir up peoples thoughts and to make them nervous about if there really is life on mars.
In 1976 you can sort of tell that there is a face on the rock formation. In 1998 you can really tell that there is a face there, but you can also see a change in lighting which because of that you can see the face more. In 2001 there is no lighting like the first one but its at a different angle so with the lighting on the second one it blocks out the cracks so its ageing over time and that proves that its a rock formation. | 1 |
