Driveless cars would be a good car if only the driver didnt have to wait to drive or if the car would not wreck on its own. Driveless cars dont seem like the most consistent cars at the moment. These cars seem cool, but have many cons included. These cars would put you more at a death risk than you driving yourself.
The driveless cars seem to be dangerous and incosistent. The reason for this is because when the car is driving its self, the driver has to take the wheel at any moment. The reason this is dangerous is because some people could fall asleep waking up early to go to their job and they wont want to be as alert as needed. People would never know when they are about to get into a wreck if they ever did because they arent in conntrol of the vehical. The manufactures of the vehicle should be held responsible is this machine crashes or causes death. The car can only hold up under specific conditons, but what if you need to go somewhere and there is ice on the road or you need to get somewhere fast. Being in a hurry with this car is a problem. The car only goes 25 mph. This means that you will have to wake up early if going to an appointment or a far distance area. You wont be able to take highways either.
These cars have great features, but also have many cons. People need to come to consideration when buying one of these cars. think about your life and what you are risking. People should not buy these cars into safety issues and driving speeds are fixed to standard cars. | 2 |
Have you ever taken a Facebook quiz that is supposed to tell you how u feel by looking at your profile and/or after u complete a set of questions? Well people are coming up with better, and better technology everyday. In fact, Dr. Paul Eckman created the "FACS". Which allows Pc's to know how you are feeling just by using a camera. "FACS" will become useful from time to time, and there are many reasons why.
First reason why the "FACS" is useful, is because schools could use the app on computers. For example when students are taking a test, or a quiz on the computer, it could sence if the student is becoming confused, and could change the question into a different one. In addition, this would also be useful when taking test because students could use it to see how a person feels about a certain subject.
Another reason why it is useful, is because is can help prevent attacks in schools, business places, and much more. For instance, if the "FACS" was installed next to the door of the main entrance. The Security would be able to know how the person that is trying to enter is feeling.
In conclusion, the "FACS" could be very useful at times.1 reason being because it could find out what subjects your intrested in and 2 being because it can prevent attacks in important buildings. | 2 |
Do you think exploring other planet is worth it even when it's very dangerous? In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it presents. To support this idea, the author gave a few reasons. The first support is that Venus is the planet that is most like Earth. The second support is that striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has values. The third support it might be possible to make the mission both safe and scientifically productive.
First, Venus is the planet that is most like Earth. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Even today, Venus still has some feature that are analogous to those on Earth. Venus is sometime even referred to as Earth's "twin." Venus also have some familiar features to Earth such as valleys, mountains, and craters.
Next, striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has values. The travels to Venus can be use to expand and meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. That is not the only reason why the challenge of exploring has value, the other value is that the reacher that what NASA is doing can lead to new inventions that can help humanity. Another value of exploring Venus is the insight to be gained on the planet itself.
Finally, the last reason the author gave to support the idea that the challenge of exploring Venus is worthy to pursuit is that it might be possible to make the mission both safe and scientifically productive. If it is possible to visit and study Venus, then why not do it? If people can actually visit Venus, then maybe they will find something that can help humans. They might even find prove that aliens are real. Maybe being able to explore Venus can show how far humanity has come.
In conclusion, In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it presents. To support this idea, the author gave a few reasons. The first support is that Venus is the planet that is most like Earth. The second support is that striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value. The third support it might be possible to make the mission both safe and scientifically productive. | 3 |
Many people hid there emotions while others are very open. When someone smiles does that really mean they are happy or is it just a mask conceiling their true emotions. Not many people are very open even with themselves. When times were simplier people how either hid there emotions or speak freely about them. Now in this new day and age a man named Prof. Thomas Huang of the Beckman institute has created a machine that can tell what you are feeling even if you are hidding it.
I am for the value of using this technology to read students emotional expressions. The reason i am for and not against is because this machine can actually save lives. For those who pretend to be happy and are actually depressed they the machine can pick that up and that person/student can get the help and teatment they need. This can help because this machine can detect "happiness, surprised, anger, disgust, fear and sadness."
This can be found in paragraph 3. With this new technology it observes the face that will look at your face and look at all the muslces in the face and calculate it to see how you are feeling even if you try and hid it. Everthing is about the muscles in your face that can conduct how you are feeling. In this article it talk about how they tested this by using video imagery where they had people use a computer and they would flash pictures and the device would examine the face to see how they were feelng. They had did this a few times to test it.
In conclusion, they should use this to read studnets emotions because they maybe depressed and it could save lives. If someone is to angry they cold harm soemone but with this new technology this can prevent many things like that. They can detect things like emotions because the machine looks at the muscles on the face to determine weather you are sad, happy, angry etc; | 2 |
Man, I enjoyed being a Seagoing Cowboy. I got to help so many people! You should sign up! The purpose of Seagoing Cowboys was to help countries that have suffered from WW2, such as Greece and China. It was created by UNRRA, and was very helpful to all critical European countries.
A few reasons why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys is because we bring horses, cows, and muless to countries in need and we also take care of these animals. You also have some time for sightseeing. However, there is some danger of signing up. Seeing as you´re on a boat most of the time with hundreds of animals, you have limited space, and then you have the dangers of the sea. When I say dangers of the sea I mean things like drowning, storms, et cetera.
Now, I want to tell you about how I got into Seagoing Cowboys, and my story of being one. It was 1945. I had two part-time jobs at the time, and my friend Don Reist asked me if I wanted to join him in going to Europe on a cattle boat. World War 2 had just finished, and lots of European countries were in a critical state. 44 nations joined to make the UNRRA, and they hired people to take care of cattle that were being shipped. Don and I both signed up.
In August, we were told to go to New Orleans for our job. We boarded the SS Charles W. Wooster, a cattle boat with more than 300 horses. I was discharged in 1947, and I had made history. I made 9 trips, which is the most of any Seagoing Cowboy. It was impressive, seeing as I couldn´t work for a few days due to broken ribs. I was so proud of myself, and it was definitely more than a job, it was a way to help me be more aware of others´ needs.
Well, I have to go back to my job at the supermarket. I recently was rehired and got my position back in the meat department. Now, isn that ironic? Remember, if you have the chance to be a Seagoing Cowboy, take it! It´ll open up so many parts of the world to you. | 2 |
The Face on Mars became very interesting in the time when it was found. The day the picture was taken was a very shodowy day, as it is said in the article the photo was taken in April a usual cloudy day in Mars. The camaras back then focused less than what our camaras do now. On April 8, 2001 when the picture was taken again it was summer and a cloudness day in Mars. When they saw the picture it was just a mesa. You have to understand that the time has pased and camaras have changed so in 2001 the camaras were better. So later on we can understand why because of the clouds that especific moment the mesa could of looked like a face.
Now that you have learned that it was all just that the camaras back then were a little blury, now you have to now that the Face on Mars was just a natural land form. First the article states that mesas or a butte are also just a common land form. This kind of landforms are also found in the earth around the American West. The whole Face on Mars was just caused by a natural process in Mars, by the weather. So now you have learned that all of this was a natural process of a masa that day they took a picture and it happend to look like a mans face.
After all of this research that scientist have found, we have all learned the real image of the Face on Mars. Yes this first discovery or thought brought a lot of popularity and fame but now we now the truth. It took lots of time and years to come to this point scientist will keep searching for evidence but we all know this was all just a natural land form and a picture taken at a right time. | 1 |
In the stories and beyond, The Face is classified as one of aliens artifacts. As a scienctist this peice of information is to be told unreal. Some of NASA has worked on many prodjects to find ths true and has gone across a couple of points. Most have began to say they wished there was an acient civilazation on Mars. In part of the discussion this evidence is told false as well, some workers there have shown that this is known to be a anatural landform on the planet which created during different phases in the weather. A team of Global Surveyor has flew over to tell that there was no known pictures/image of an alien monument. In conclusion, the story was very fictional there was no evidence on known alien only something else. It also made more since if was only peices of rocks that has collided together to form this image which would be a good topic to use. | 1 |
The "Evening Star" or the name how you know, Venus is one in the second planet form the system sun in the speace; having for neighbor a Mars and his "twin" Earth. Venus in the system sun have a diferent speed in the same tima wiht Mars and Earth, but sometimes the Earth is closed to Mars and other times to Venus.
The planet Earth have a some of things simulatary between Venus, but this not can have life, becauses this planet hava a diferents conditions between the Earth, having all the atention for the people for study the planet, "Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us."
The planet Earth have an atmosphere of almost 97 porcent of carbone dioxide a diference whit Venus have a sulfuric acid atmosphere and a 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and am atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what esoerience on our own planet.
The conditions in the planet Venus is a "extrem than anything human encounter on Earth."
The temperature on Venus has a tottest surface temperature of the any panets in the system, is closed to Mercury teh sun, and in adiotion hava a lot of natural disasters and the complement perfect to go to live, right?
In this times Venus have stills and more simulatires between Earth, because the planet now has a " surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and creaters. Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planetry visit a curcial consideratioon given the long time frames of space travel. The value of returning to Venus..."
For all this new information about Venus, the "NASA," has the idea ofr study Venus, but the for where the NASA what ti use for study the planet is sending humans to the planet: the problen here is Venus not have a good condition for any hunan, animal or other thing alive, whit can sorvive for this condition, and if the humans go; in the fir time where stay want to satr toasty all the people and ahva a lot of problems in try to stay in the planet.
The other solution whit the NASA use for the study of the planet and don't use human is tray to take a photography and a videography, but this not worker. And the most importan in the investigation for the palnet is they not can take anithing about a sample rock or gas or something else a distanse, so for this moment the NASA don't can do anythin for study the Venus in this moments, but now is working haw can investige the planet.
In the 1940s in the time whit the Worls War II, the tecnology is played a rol of importance in this moment, and hire is well the Nasa have the idea for use that and tray to investigate, makin calculations and the computadores; but the computadores is more delicated for the fisical contidions wiht this have.
In this times the challenge for try to faound more information from the Venus and the idea fro the expedition a Venus I think this is continue in the mint form the persons in the NASA, but now not is the moment for do thas. Is the moment for use all the forms for try to keep all the informstion using the tecnology; for one day do the dream for the NASA: go to Venus and not have any problem. | 0 |
Luke's point of view might be that it was fun but i just can't be the only thing that ido in life. By the time he was discharged in 1947, Luke had made nine trips themost of any Seagoing Cowboy. He was proud to break a record but he was alsovery mad because of him being 18 and still doing the trips on being a SegoingCowboy. He was also working two part-time jobs in a grocery store and a bank when his friend Don Reist invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke couldnt say no. He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime. But luke thought of it that way and not by how many trips he was going to make or the number of places he was going to go. He knew that it was going to be a opportunity of a lifetime because you hardly ever get a opportunity of a lifetime when you are working to part time jobs and trying to raise moeny for your own self to live life. And when his friend Don Reist invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke couldnt say no. He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime. But luke thought of it that way and not by how many trips he was going to make or the number of places he was going to go. He knew that it was going to be a opportunity of a lifetime because you hardly ever get a opportunity of a lifetime when you are working to part time jobs and trying to raise moeny for your own self to live life. Also when his friend Don Reist invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat trip if luke would have said no then his friend Don Reist that invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat trip would have tought or asked why do you not want to go because because you wil get to go a lot of places that you would not be able to go also because you would get to havea full boat ride there and a emty boat ride back. Plus i will be there with you the whole time that you are there so you do not have to be scaryed if that is why you don't want to go. Also because you will be able to go and see part of the wolrd that you may never agin get the chance to go and see agin so we don't leave for anouther 2 days so that will give you a chance to think about the trip we are really hopeing you can make it but if you can't then we understand why because it is your chose so just please just think about it because it would mean alot to me and the other guys if you came. So he got Luke to say yes but he was only going to be there for a little bit because he has other things to do like get a house and also get a better job then the ones he already has so only for one year. But after that one year he had made it clear that he wanted to stay longer because he had stared to think that this was his job and after a while one of the boys came to him and asked him what would you think if you could stay here because our captian says that you got a job working with us if thats what you want to do is work with us but you do not have to if you don't then we have to take you back because we can't just let you stay like work for us. So Luke sid of couse i will work with you guys but we have to stop so i can get the rest of my stuff plusemy colth and i can just keep it in my bedroom right of couse you can. But no break able stuff is allowed on the ship oun less you don't have any where else to put it then we have a little bit of room were we can put it where it will be safe. | 0 |
With technology making advancements everyday, it is natural that we adapt and adopt new forms of technology in our lifes, houses, hospitals, schools and even prisons,however, some technologies might get too far into our lives and into our heads.
A new software developed at the University of Illinois promises to read and detect facial expressions that reveal how we felt at the moment the picture or camera footage was recorded. The project is now in early stages of development but is already able to read paintings and describe what they feel.
In his text "Making Mona Lisa Smile", Nick D'Alto states that " if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow.", stating that the software can be used to monitor people and detect what products they take interest in, which is an unethical way to push companies into people's lives; moreover, the author claims that students can have their facial expressions monitored so that if they become bored, the computer can adjust the lesson to make it more engaging to the student. Although students have different needs, the usage of surveilance to capture their interest can be compared to the way babies are shown colorful and animated things to keep their attention, which can make the student's attention span even smaller than it has become, alienating and making them more dependant of technology.
In conclusion, the usage of this software to either sell products or monitor students is unethical at the least, and can lead to an even more alienated population. | 2 |
I think that the idea of driverless cars are a good idea, but I don't think they are necessary at all. They are pointless and cars should be driven manually. The idea of a safer car is too ensure the safety of passengers, drivers , and even pedestrians. Accidents are always going to happen, but it is up to drivers themselves to make this happen.
A good opposition to the idea of driverless cars is the psychological aspect. In the passage, it says, "psychological aspects are really a challenge," and they should be. There is no point in having a driverless car that still needs the assistance of a human driver. Also, we aren't really saving gas amounts. The driverless cars are still going to require gasoline as fuel.
In conclusion, driverless cars are not worth the investment. They will still need human assistance and drivers will be bored waiting for their turn to drive. The amount of gas needed will still be the same to power all the cars. This is why driverless cars are pointless. | 1 |
The unmasked face of mars had remained a mystery to others, so researchers have been trying to uncover what the face of Mars actually meant. Some say that aliens made it, but others said that it is a landform. When NASA discovered a shadowy likeness that almost resembled a face, Mars made or evelated a new Landform that resembled a face. The face of Mars may have been popular, but everone in the world was oblivious, yet so indesicive about what Mars really showed other than a face. Conspiracy theorists have no proof that Alien life form existed in Mars. "We felt this was important to taxpayers." No alien mounument is proven but a new landform spouted into place which resembled a face. Not every researcher or anyone was satisfied, so though the face of Mars has been proven either a mystery or scientists are still researching about how the landform looked like a face. Never the less, after a few years later, Malin's team shot a photo that was extraordinary using the maximum resolution.
The pixels showed clear hard proof, in the one 2001 image spans that are 1.56 meters,and compared 43 meters per pixel in the best and original 11976 photo. Not everyone can agree that the face of Mars is just a landform or alien life; thus the face or landform still remained as an anonomys fact of mystery. | 1 |
Reducing car usuage coul greatly benefit us all. it would decrease death rates, pollution, and money costs.
As towns such as Vauban and Paris participate in car free days, they greatly reduce the amount of pollution that would have become that day. their hard work and enthusiasm even encouraged other cities and parts of the country to join. our pollution rate is much to high for the only planet and space we can live on. increasing it daily will only hurt us and be fatal in the long run.
Death rates caused by cars is another reason to have a few days off from them. Fatalaties caused in accidents, hit and runs, and wrecks happen multiple times daily. a few days or even just one of no/reduced car usage could save the lives of many.
money costs are a large complaint in our society today, especially money involving cars. from the cost of the car itself to the dollars to per gallon used every week, nobody likes to spend that much money on their vehicle. well we wouldnt have to as often if we did have dayswhere cars were fined if used.
citizens should reduce the use of cars to help with financial issues, death rates, and pollution. | 1 |
Can you imagine you not having to drive your own car? Well in the future driverless cars are coming to you. Many car brands are in on driverless cars. However, I am against driverless cars because of their many side affects. You may still want a driverless car because of the advantages but I do not want a driverless care due to it's many disadvantages.
Driverless cars are coming in the future. Most people are excited about driverless cares because they blocked out the disadvantages. Other people feel how I feel, that driverless cars are dangerous and cause many problems to whomever may get in behind a driverless car. Driverless cars have advantages to a certain exctint but I feel they are unsafe to all humans no matter how they work.
Driverless cars are expensive to make and would cause you to have to upgrade roads just so they can work which would cost millions and billions of unneeded dollars. Driverless cars are not so driverless, they still want you to take over the will as much as they neeed you to. Whenever their is an accident or something that the driverless car can't handle the human in the car has to take over and drive. This is very unsafe because humans may become unalert and unaware due to the fact that they are no longer in control of moving the vehicle they are in.
Driverless cars are unsafe because if a human were to fall alseep they are unaware to their surroundings. Humans are unaware of the fact they have to still drive in oder to be safe and not cause damage to anything around them. A human has to pull in and out of the drive way in the driverless car. If the driverless car is so great, how come humans still have to drive? That is one reason why we should stick to humans driving their own cars.
A driverless car the car will drive at a constant speed of 25 miles. In some cases that may be to slow. If their was an emergency the car would drive way to slow and could possibly put a humans life in danger due to the slow speed. In a driverless car, the point is to not have a human driving the car at all. In the driverless cars they still want humans to drive, humans tend to get bored and lack intrest waiting for a situation to happen.
Safety is such a big concern in driverless cares. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car as a human driver in control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing liminted use of semi-autonomous cars; manufacturers believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliably safe. If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--- the driver or the manufacturer?
On behalf on all humans I feel we need to stick to human driven cars. In driverless cars we would have to always worry about our safety. We would have to worry about the " what ifs" and all the possibilaties that could happen being in the driverless car. Many humans could be injuried or seriously hurt due to being in a driverless car. If anything were to happen in the driverless car who will the blame be put on, the person who made it or the person in
it?
In conclusion, drivers should go the safer route and drive themselves around instead of relying on a monitored car. You still have to worry about the possibilaty of something happening to you or anyone else in the car especially if you have any children. Drivers are much safer driving themselves around not having to worry about something happening to them or them putting their life in danger by entering the driverless car. Driverless cars may be cool but very unsafe until proven than can be safe and well organized all humans should stick to taking their self everywhere like we have over the last hundreds of decades. | 4 |
Look into the midnight sky, tell me what you see. You might see stars, and perhaps an espesially bright star. This star is Venus, a close planet to ours and one that could have had life on it at one time.In The Challenge of Exploring Venus, the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author makes this statment well, and convicingly. For he presents numorus facts on why it should be explored. He also shows the inpending dangers that go along with this exploration.
The autor states in paragraph 2 "Humans have sent numorus space craft to land on this cloud draped world. Each previous mission has been unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft has lasted for more than a few hours." This here shows that the exploration is risky, but why do we need to explore mars you ask. well heres why, "Astronomers are fasinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like panet in our soler system". With venus having this potental history of possibly containing life, it is very worthy of being explored, for there are many things that could be found on it.
in conclusion, venus is a worthy pursute dispite its inpending dangers, maybe one day we will be able to study venus without the fear of its harmful conditions. | 1 |
Venus, a very powerful, interesting, planet that needs to be explored more indepth to ease our minds, to let the curiosity subdue. Venus is absolutely a planet that deserves a our attention. Why does it deserve our attention though; is it worth our time and money? If it was not worth all these risks, why would it be a topic of matter?
In the passage it states," Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star," is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot." Many wondering minds think about all the possibilities of what could be on Venus and if it could be similar to Earth. Venus is our neighbor, or as paragraph 2 states," Earth's twin." "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." If you had a brother or sister that close to you yet so far away wouldn't you want to find out about them?
Venus should be worth the exploration because there are so many possibilies of what could be on Venus. The passage states," Venus still has some features that are analogous to those close to Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sedient and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." As crazy as it sounds, there is a chance that the sediments from Venus, and other objects like rocks, are here on Earth too. I believe that we have scientists already working on the break down of what is in these objects and how they got here.
NASA workers have come up with the idea to send a hovering ship into orbit above Venus. Though the conditions are hard to work with, NASA has the capability to think of a way to let us receive information, pictures, and other objects from Venus. Towards the end of paragraph 5 it says, " Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans."
NASA should first send a demo rover out to Venus,before you send our people out. We have already discovered the conditions, like the air, and surface, of Venus. See if there is another object of surprise that could pop out of no where. Make sure everyone is geared up and ready to go before sending our people out. Once we have determined all the conditions and maybe an element of surprise, send a highly trained, willing, person out there. Not on a long 36 day mission but just a simple few days to see what evidence and new opportunities that could arise on Venus.
The danger side is very important to look at as well before sending our people out there. Like the passage says, " A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus." This is one for the few risky obsticles NASA and its workers would have to overcome. Another example is, the temperature difference between the two planets. In paragraph 3 it states," These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals."
Though there would be many obsticles we would have to overcome to get to Venus, I believe if the United States could come together, we can go to Venus! Looking at all the great outcomes that going to Venus could give us I think it truly would be worth our time, money, and attention. All for the amazing possibilies we can uncover though this fantastic project. Despite the rough patches here and there, going to Venus would be such a win for America! The author suggests going to Venus is a " worthy persuit despite the dangers it presents," and his detailed evidence proves his suggestion. | 3 |
Driverless cars could be the way of the future or end up being the worst invention humans have ever fabricated. Driverless cars is a very good idea that could change the world for good. Even though there are some dangers, with research and time, these dangers could be eliminated for good. The idea of driverless cars is a great idea because the environment will benefit from it greatly and human error on the roads will become a thing of the past.
The environment will benefit greatly from driverless cars. For example, "The cars forsees will use half the fuel of todays taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus."
Also Modern cars have much better fuel economy and lower emissions than older, driver reliant vehicles. Crash rates will go down so there will be less debris on the road. Human error is also something that will become a thing of the past.
With time and research, cars can easily become smarter than a human. Humans lose attention on the roads, develope road rage, and brake the law frequently. These are all things that could lead to a fatal crash. For example, "Further improvments in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." Drunk driving will also become a thing of the past and save more lives than anyone could even imagine. A driver less car can also utilize some of the cars capabilities that a human can not access. "The information from the sensors can cause the car ti apply brakes on individual and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone.
The idea of driverless cars is a great idea because the envirnment will benefit from it greatly and human error on the roads will become a thing of the past. Technology is advanced enough where we can develope safe and effective ways of getting rid of human error. Driverless cars are a great example of human innovation becomeing a reality. I look forward to see how driverless cars will excel in todays world and how they can improve our lives in the coming decades. | 3 |
Are driverless cars really coming? I don't think so. Driverless cars stiil need a driver, they might not even start, or work properly, and the driverless cars will surely bring the number of deaths due to a car accident up. Who wants one now? I don't want to be around one nor do I want anyone to drive these "driverless" cars.
The driverless cars, aren't even close to driving themselves, they still need to have the driver's attention. Driverless cars, should be as the title states, cars that are driverless. These cars, will give you warnings when it is going to need you to take control again. The author states, "In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when theroad ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." If these cars were really driverless, they wouldn't need a driver to help them navigate. Are these cars really driverless? No.
Are these cars going to run on gas or electricity? Either way, these cars not start. A car stalls all the time, but those cars we handle, but what about cars that are driverless? Would we know how to fix it or would we have to spend hundreds to get it fixed? These cars will cost hundreds to get fixed over and over again. Who wants to do that? I wouldn't mind having to charge it but then my electricity bill will be over the top expensive.
Would our kids be safe to be in the cars? What happens if our kids are playing and the car starts and the kid gets hurt or even dies? Would it be your fault or the car producers? It woul be everyone's. Ours, for not protecting our kids well enough and the car producers because they didn't think of the children. The number of deaths per year of children due to car accidents are already high, add in a car that might start by itself and run by itself, will increase the number greatly. I wouldn't want my kids near it. Neither should you.
Knowing these facts, do you still want one? Do you want a car that was supposed to be driverless, but you would still need to drive it, or a car that might not even work, or even a car that could possibly kill your kid? I don't. These cars are dangerous, no matter how safe they say it should be. My position on the driverless cars will always be no. | 2 |
In the article the author greatly supports the idea of studying Venus and that it will be worthy despite the dangers. In paragraph 8 the author says that striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself. Another example is that in paragragh 4 it says that astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most-earth like planet in our solar system. There are also many dangers that come when visiting Venus and they are that a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide covers Venus. Something that is even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere.
On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. NASA is working on other approaches to studying venus. One example is using old technology called mechanical computers. Human curiosity wil likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
It is probably good to at least try our best and give it all we got to achieve what we want. | 1 |
Dear Senator,
The topic of the Electoral college is a hot one, and the idea of whether of not to adjust it is contravercial. Many citizen disagree with the process while many are in favor. What should we do? We should change the Electoral College. The voting is based more on quantity instead of quality, and the voting is not coming from the citizen's directly, making the risk of an unfaithful candidate too high and the actual voting less popular and more electoral. When one state-or even one person- could change the whole ball game that is the Presidential Election, then what does that mean for our democracy?
While many will argue that it is a fair way to vote, the Electoral College has many flaws. First off, the candidates are focusing on more power and higher tallying states to get them through the election than everyone as a whole. For example, if you were a presidential candidate would you spend more time trying to sway California, with its whopping 55 electoral votes, or Montanna, with a teeny tiny 3 electoral votes? The candidates are not being considerate of ALL the American citizens, but instead the ones that they think will lead them to victory. This is not what the election is all about. The election is more focused on the popular vote of few states with many inhabitants than it is on many states with few citizens.
"Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." (As stated in
"The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong"
). Being that this true, why do we call it the "Presidential Election" instead of the "Electors Election?" Electors claim to be faithful to their candidates but sometimes this is not the case. If a member of the group is unfaithful to their candidate, it could unsettle the whole election, meaning that the United States as a whole would have to pay for the electors actions. This is not how voting was meant to be. Our slogan is "We the People," not "We the Electors."
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Why would we change this system? It is already established and has worked for many years." In order to move forward as a nation we as a whole need to make changes sometimes. Just think what it would be like today if segregation-an established rule and law- was not questioned. Or even if the settlers of the United States had not questioned our former mother country and broke away. We would not even be the establishment we are today if we did not question established rules or traditions. The Electoral College is nothing more than a system that needs to be reevaluated, putting the popularity if the candidate in clearer perspective.
To recap, The Electoral College does not include the popularity of the candidates over official influences. The states are not being counted equally and electors control the electon overall. In order to have a more successful government and a more included population, the Electoral College simply needs to be reevaluated and changed to meet the popularity standards of our country if we are to ever advance. | 4 |
Did you know that venus is often called Earth twin because it is the closest planet to earth in tems of density and size.That is why I think we should try to learn more about it, here are some reason why we should. one of the reason is venus is the one of the nearest opiton for planetary visit, astronomers are fascinated by venus because it my well once have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life.Today, Venus still has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains and craters.Venusian geology have recored things like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.The next reason is they are compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus.NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like
vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of the way. AT thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 drgrees Fahrenheit. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans. The last reason is they have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since on spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours that is why NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example. some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's project it looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers.They were used druing World War 2, the reason is because they are ment to last and they are.Theas are the reasons why I think we should pursuit to learn as much as we can before it is to late.Don't you think so? | 1 |
In the artical "Driverless Cars Are Coming" they are talking about the negitaves and positives of the Driverless Cars.
I think driverless car are cool but are they all safe? One of my negitives is that the cars might malfuction and make you get in a accident and cause harm to the driver in the car, and if your just sitting there will the cars diving it will be a easy way for you to dose off and fall asleep, but in the section "Driving Or Assisting?" in parigraph eight they talk about they can put entertainment in to the driverless cars and have an heads up display and when its turn for the driver to take over it will instantly turn off for the driver to drive. Some of my positives of the driverless cars are that if you late for work but didn't have time to eat breakfast then you can eat it in the car while the driverless car is driving or you could do your hair if you had to rush and all you could do is shower and get dressed. Or you have to talk on the phone for work or something because if you dont have a blutooth then you can't really drive with the phone in your hand and and you could get pulled over and get a ticked.
but one more negitive is that people might take avantige of the driverless car and on the weekend go out and get jrunk the think it'ssafe because the car an drive by its self and the car could malfuntion and then get inaccident and when the cops come the person in the car will be the blaim because they were drunk then they will go to jail. so there gose my nigitives and positives of driverless cars . | 1 |
Cars. Trucks. Motocycles. All these forms of transportation are drastically poluting the air due to the release of gas emission from the tailpipes. Some may say it's easier to get around with a car handy. Others believe too many people are centered on a car. Cities should become denser for the public in order to transport and reduce gas emission at the same time.
Up to 50% of car intensive areas are poluted in the United States as well as 12% in Europe. Drivning isn't the only way to get around. In Vauban, Germany- some in the communtity have taken the pledge to give up thier cars and go green. In result to doing this, locations like garages are generally not used to hold a four wheel vehicle anymore. Instead this "car free" area is encouraging those to join the 70% of Vauban's population to say goodbye to the waste product. In addition to a "car free" zone comes "smart planning". This is the practice of seperating the suburban life from auto use. In other words, creating a more condenced community will ensure more walkers instead of drivers.
Similar to both the US and Germany, many areas have committed to giving up the cars. In Paris, pollution had gotten so bad they almost hit a record! Depending on the even or odd number license plate along with the day that came with it, people were ordered to leave their car and/or motor vehicle home or pay a 22-euro fine. Pollution was down 60% in France after the period of time enforcing the rule. In Bogota, Colombia most chose to walk, bike, skate, or take a bus to get around, leaving the city barren of any to no vehicles. With a capital of 7 million a goal was reached reducing smog throughout the city. Violators paid the price of $25 fines.
Other research may suggest that leaving the cars home decreases some ability to get around at a decent time or may even cost just as expensive. Having somewhere to be and knowing you have to be their can be a haslte prioritizing your time. You have to calculate when you leave from both your home and the destination. Those who live in big cities will struggle even more from time to time. If cars on the street are limitted to taxis then the cost to get to a location will be as similar to that of a gas bill. Not only that but areas will require more taxi services to fill those needs of the people.
Vehicles, the deathly poison of the human race, will continue to pollute the area unless something is done. Many areas have taken the step to create more suitible living conditions of the human race. Globally, we are reducing the exposure of gas emission everywhere. Continuing this will ensure a heallthy present and furture for years to come. | 3 |
It would be an amazing experience to join the Seagoing Cowboys program because it would be an opportunity of a lifetime. According to the text, Luke said, "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special. So was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water." The text also says that he toured a castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China.
Also, if you worked on one of those boats, you would be helping people in need in other countries. The text states that being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world to him. And lastly, being a Seagoing Cowboy changed Luke's life. In conclusion, I think it would be a good decision to join the Seagoing Cowboys and go on a life-changing adventure. | 1 |
I think that we should keep the Electoral College, because we have certainty of the outcome, everyone's president, swing states, big states, and we can avoid run-off elections. So i will explain a little bit about each one of them to you.
Certainty of Outcome, winning candidate's share the Electoral College invaribly exceeds of their share on the popular vote. Most states award the electoral votes on a winner-take-all-basis. Its possible to have a tie in the national electoral vote becaus the number of votes is an even number but its a very high chance to be unlikey.
Everyone's president, the electoral college requires a presdential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. A no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president already. So for a solid region, has no incentive campaign. The residents of the other regions are likely to feel disenfranchised. (To feel that their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their intrests, isn't their presdient).
Swing States, or called the Winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes. Voters that are in the toss-up states are most likely to pay close attention to the campaign. They listen to the competing candidates. Knownig that they will decide the election. But they are most likely to be most thoughtful voters. Thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the elcetion.
Big states, A larger state gets more of the attention from the presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state would have. The electoral college restores some of the wieght in the political balance that larges states would lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment.
Avoid run-off elections, there is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the voters cast. Which greatly complicates the presdients elections process. Yes it can be argued the the electoral college method of selecting the president.
So I argue that we should keep the Electoral College. | 2 |
Dear Senator,
Electoral College is defined as a process. The Electoral college was founded by the founding fathers with the Constitution as an agreement between election of the president and by the popular vote of qulaified citizens. imsure you already know all of this , therefore i am here to inform you why Electoral College shouldnt be kept and popular vote should win. This is the citizens country so why should we have a leader that we dont even like? We all have the right of speech and of speeking for what we believe in. Last but not least why would the Electoral College get to choose our choice for us?
The United Sates is an independant country , therefore we should have the majority of the say in who we want to lead our country. say you're at a restraunt and they ask what you want on your hamburger your not just going to tell them to put what ever they want on it because then you wont like it, same situation just not with food. why would you want to live in a world with a leader you dont like, making choices you dont like eighter, everyone obviously wounldnt get their first choice because there has to be a winner and a loser. even if you lose thats better to say that you got a chance to say what you wanted it just didnt follow through.
We also all have the right of speech in the United States. What i mean by this is, we were all given a mouth by God for a reason. "A closed mouth wont get fed" so how would a closed mouth country get the correct leader they wanted? exactly they couldnt thats my point. if we speek were going to get a chance of getting more thought of when the decision is made, so if we were to all speek up the decision would be in our favor.
We all have a choice for diffrent things, some people like peanut butter, some people dont like peanut butter, some people are alergic to peanut butter. so say you hate peanut butter and you told the waitress your order and she said no youre getting a peanut butter sandwhich, you, hatin peanut butter, obviosuly wouldnt like that at all. Same sitauation here. Why would they let you say your choice in what you want then just tell you what youre going to get? its just not right and dsent add up.
Therefore i am a firm believer that it should be popular vote not by electoral college, and if you dont beliee that well you are making the wrong choice and letting other people make the choice up and speek for you. Use your voice. You dont have it for just no reason at all. | 1 |
The reason why the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is because of how interesting it is to examin when you are close to the planet itself. Essentially when thinking of traveling from and beyond, we should not be limited by dangers or even the doubts of such exploration, buy we should expand and exceed to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation that comes from exploring such subtances in space. The true reason for us to examine Venus is for the innovation and progress in science that comes from it and how Venus is the closet planet to have identical features as earth.
Even if our sister planets are out of the question for examination due to dangerous conditions, astronomers are fascinated by Venus since it has the potential to be the most Earth-like planet in our entire solar system. The text states that, "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This quote indicates that Venus has similar features to what Earth has; therefore, Venus is the nearest option when looking at planets that are similar to Earth and also the consideration that we have a pretty long time frame for space travel. There aren't many options for a safe and scientifically mission, so this is our best option for porductive wise for us in the space enviroment of exploring. This is one solid reason for the author to say that the trip to Venus would be a worthy pursuit, but would have dangers to it, but we will be able to expand our innovation in the science world.
NASA has a plan to allow scientist to go to Venus with a blimp-like vechile which whould hover 30 feet above the Venusian landscape letting them examine the features of Venus. The quote provides, "At thirthy-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth." The quote indicates that the scientists may feel toasty with that 170 degrees of Fahrenheit on them, but the pressure that is psuhed on the would be the equivalent of the sea level which is on Earth. Overall, these are not the easiest conditions, but it is survivable for humanss to live and stay productive in the task at hand. This is another solid reason for the scientist to travel to Venus and to expand there knowledge and space innovation as well, even with hazardous conditions that are presented during there examination.
By having the will and courage to travel and observe the features of this planet, which has the potential to be similar to the planet that we live on, Earth, we are able to expand our thoughts and innovation of space and able to progress in our space knowledge as a whole. Even though there will be dangers that are presented during the journey, you will be protected by science itself, with its blimps from NASA or the will for observation in comparing Earth and Venus's features. Overall, it is a worthy pursuit to examine and observe the potential to be the identical planet to Earth from its features. | 3 |
The author tells the reader how Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because no ones been on the planet and metal would just liquefy so we can't send nothing nor no one up to Venus. But I think that the the author would like to know how it's like up there besides knowinf that it's hot, and maybe would like to know what we could do up there in those types of conditions.
Like many other planet most people would say we can't live in those types of conditions but scintist found out we could live on some planets and also grow food on some of those planets. So the author might think that it's worth finding out that if we could at least grow plants there since some plants can suvive and grow in real hot conditions.
Another posible reason why the author might would want to see if there is living life on Venus. Lots of people talk about there being more then just people on one planet so there could be some form of life on another. If we could grow food on some plants that could also mean that there's life on that planet too. So even thought it's extremelly hot on Venus doesn't mean that there isn't a form of living life on there. | 1 |
The development of driverless cars shouldn't be happening because it will cause people to be way too dependent on the cars when traveling and the developers shouldn't being developing these type of cars. Driverless cars will give the drivers way more distractions then usual because they will be more reliant on the cars themselves. These types of cars will be very costly because they will need new roads. The driverless cars will also be more time consuming because they won't be able to travel through traffic alone and require the driver to step in. Driverless car shouldn't be developed because they will ,make the driver more reliant on them, be very costly, and will be very time consuming.
The development of driverless cars will give the driver more distraction because although the driver still have be aware the driver will become very reliant on the car fro arriving at his or hers destination safely. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author states, "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply the breaks on individaul wheels and reduce powere from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." This information proves that the driver will be more reliant on the cars because although the driverless car will be safer it will also make the driver worry-free. Another reason towards why the driverless cars should be developed is because they're very costly.
Driverless cars will be very costly because will require more equipment to perform such task and will require new roads aswell which will be the most expensive of they bunch. In the article " Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author states, "These smart- road systems worked surprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expenisve to be practical." This information helps prove that the cost for maintaining these driverless cars the work well on a smart-road will be very expensive even without the smart-roads the cost will be very high because they will still require an extensive amount of sensors to operate on its own. Driverless cars will also be very time consuming.
Driverless cars will be very time consuming because they can't operate aswell as a human driver would be able to an the road. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author states that, "Manufactures are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road." This infromation shows that the driver will still have to watch the road but, the driver wont be as alert because they wont have anything to do and will begin to feel drousy just as if they were watching a boreing program about roads on television.
In conclusion, the development of driverless cars shouldn't be happening because they make driving more complicated. These types of cars will make the human driver more reliant on the cars than themselves because they won't need to be as alert as if they were the one driving. These types of cars will also be very costly because of all they equipment needed to make them driverless and possibly even new roads aswell will be very expensive. Lastly, driverless cars will be very time consuming in manufactering the vehicle and in traffic jams aswell. Driverless cars shouldn't be developed because they will make the driver more reliant on them, be very costly, and will be very time consuming. Driver themselves should be improving and not the vehicel so they can make the roads safer. | 3 |
The Electoral College is used in the United States to elect a president, yet it is higly debated over whether it is needed or not. The Electoral College was founded to compromise the election of a president between the people and Congress, to try to avoid problems between both parties. Many people allign themselves with one side to argue that it is needed to eliminate unfair advantages, or that it is not needed because it doesn't give the people the power to elect their president. This brings up disputes and controversy especially in situations that give evidence to support both cases, such as the 2000 presidential election between Al Gore and George Bush. The Electoral College should be kept in use because it provides a fair representation and campaign for all regions, allows votes from states with fewer population numbers to have significance, and avoids the issue of trying to determine the president when neither receives the majority vote.
To begin with, the Electoral College should be in use because it provides fair representation for all the states involved in the election. "The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal." "This is a desireable result because a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president." This shows that it is beneficial because it makes a candidate who has only regional appeal, have to work harder in other states to show that he would be fair to all states, not just the ones that support him. Furthermore, it allows for massive regional advantages, like the South, mean nothing because they would still have to convince the North to vote for them. The opposing side might argue that if a candidate has regional appeal, they should just let that win them the election, but a successful president should be able to sway the whole country into voting for him, not just a certain region. Thus, showing that regional advantages prove meaningless with the Electoral College, making it less unfair to other regions.
In addition, the Electoral College eliminates the unfair advangate of having a bigger state, allowing smaller states to have a significance in the election." The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution." This shows that large states can sway the whole election, while small states don't make a dent on it, without the Electoral College in place. Thus, using it allows smaller states' votes to matter in the election, while eliminating large states' advantage over them. People might claim that large states deserve more representation because more people live in them, but this doesn't preserve the equality for other smaller states's citizens that the United States stands for. This makes it apparent that without the Electoral College only the "big states" would matter and the candidates wouldn't have to worry about the small states.
Finally, the Electoral College does its best to eliminate the issue of not being able to determine the winner when the majority vote does not differ. " Most states have a winner-take-all system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate." This stops the problem that occured in 1968 with Nixon and 1992 with Clinton, and provides a clear definite way to choose the winner. If the Electoral College wasn't in use, lengthy recounts and much controversy would follow elections to try to determine if the votes were fair; this would cause too much strife and unrest within the country. It can be argued that even with the conflict it provides the people a chance to make their votes count, but it does more harm than good and it doesn't truly change anything. As a result, the Electoral College solves the issue of uncertainty and significance of vote.
In essence, the Electoral College is necessary for the balance and order in the United States to remain. It provides a fair representation and campaign for all regions, allows votes from states with fewer population numbers to have significance, and avoids the issue of trying to determine the president when neither receives the majority vote. This all shows that fewer problems arise when using this procedure, rather than if they use majority vote. "You help choose your state's electors when you vote for President because when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors." This shows that the citizens still have power in choosing their candidate and it creates a balance with other parties. In conclusion, the Electoral College should be kept to preserve the integrity and equality the United States is all about. | 5 |
In my opinion i think that it is useless. I mean, why would someone want to know how you feel in class? I know your friends will probably want to know but they can just ask instead of pulling out their computer and scanning your face and doing all this research. It's an interesting thing but at the same time it's kinda useless. In paragraph 8 it states that an expert knows when your facial expression is lying.
It states that " these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." To be honest, i couldn't care less if a celebrity or anyone else is fake smiling at me. How will this device benefit you is the real question. In paragraph 5 it states that " most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc. " but in paragraph 7 it explains to you if you look into a mirror and do it step by step how to look happy, it will make you look happy. It even states " does your expression in the mirror suggest an emotion? Can your lab partner recognize which one? In fact, these are the instruction for a face that looks happy."
If they invented a whole app to tell them how you're feeling and didn't know how to explain how someone is feeling, they wouldn't have explained perfectly a person who is happy, even step by step. They device could be helpful just like the lie detecting test the polices use. But if you ask me, it's useless. In the 6th paragraph it states that The Mona Lisa is intended to bring a smile to your face, if you smile around anyone, they will smile, smiling is contagious then you'll know how they're feeling instead of wasting a lot of money on an expensive device.
In conclusion, if you want to wate your money on something useless, you can. To me, it would be smarter to invent something more useful instead of worrying about how someone else feels or how your entire class feels but at the same time the people who invented that are getting paid and that's all that matters. | 2 |
Cars one of the world's basic means for transportation from places such as Chicago to Shanghai. Have you ever heard of a place where they bearly use cars. Due to that fact people in different areas dont even use cars such as the suburbs ranging from New York to Vauban. As a result of driving the famous greenhouse gases is coming from emissions from everyone's car not even knowing that you might be the cause of the greenhouse gases ranging from 12 percent in Europe and up to 50 percent in the United States in more car filled areas. Creating a natural disaster just by taking a drive to the store or taking a mid-night drive with your girl. All avoidable by just minimize the use of personal transportation.
Even though driving is not seen as a bad thing it has caused many complications in the past such as Paris's smog. Smog deadly to breathe was Paris's problem since everyone was driving a vehicle at the time. Due to the massive amount of people using cars smog became a daily routine producing 147 micrograms per week. As a result to this unforseen complication many decided to ban the use of cars until the smog was lifted or completely gone. Since people don't listen many still continued to drive their cars making about 4,000 people getting fined 22-euro which is about $31 in U.S money. Giving blame to diesel fuel since that is the main source of fuel in France many turned their heads to the emissions that diesel fuel has created mainly since 67 percent of the residents in France use compared to 53.3 in Western Europe, according to Reuters. Usually Paris has more smog than any other European capitals since the streets are filled with people driving. As many days gone by reducing the smog many were allowed to drive resigning the ban starting on Monday continuing on Tuesday.
How would you feel if you was not allowed to use your car for a full day? The people of Bogota feel it as an ordinary day just without vehicles. It had been the third straight year since cars had been banned with the execption of buses and taxies. It was used to promote alternative transportation and to reduce smog in the city. If violated the person would recieve an amount of 25 U.S dollars. Even though dark grey cloubs usually gave rain showers to the people of Bogota people remained casual and continued their natural lives. Parks gyms and things like it flourished with people so did new restaurants and upscale malls.
Will it be the end of the car culture? Will people stop using cars altogether? Is it possible that in the future we wont be using cars anymore for any reason? If so life without cars I think would be better just by reducing greenhouse gases and smog to a minimum. | 1 |
Are you interested in traveling? Are you interested in meeting new people? Are you interested in being kind and helping? If you are interested in any of those things then you should join the Seagoing Cowboys!
You are wondering what the Seagoing Cowboys are, right? Well it is a group of people who get together and help all over the world with taking care of animals that would would typically would would find in a barn.
What we do is they take care of horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped over seas. It is a fun thing to do because you can be helping animals but also see all over the world and get to see cool and new stuff! Chances are you most likely haven't been to most place we go to.
I remember one time we had to ride a cattle-boat. people were alittle mad that they had to ride on a cattle-boat with a bunch of cattle. We were on a cattle-boat trip. It was pretty amazing and we also got to see Europe and China! People started to lighten up after they founf out that we were going to two wonderful places! It was the best trip we've ever been on!
Usually it takes about 2 weeks to get to the place we want to go. That's because we take a boat and sometimes we run into some bad weather, but if you just relax an denjoy it it will go by super, super fast! The bad weather can be bad that is why we have to take as much protection as we can! So, if you do join the Seagoing Cowboys make sure you have the right gear and you dress for the weather. Sometime it can be very cold when we are on the boat and then it can be SUPER hot when we get to our destination. Just make sure that you are always perpared and never not perpared!
If you get sea sick or homesick easy then it is not a good idea to join! If you get sick when we are there then you can't go home you have to stay with us at all times! So, it might be a good idea to bring stuff tha helps you feel better. It might be smart to bring medicine with you so you do not have too buy it somewhere else where it is expensive.
Well I hope that you join because we need sone extras hands! If you would like to sign up then PLEASE DO SO as soon as possible! Thank you very much! | 2 |
"Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks". This is just one of the the examples that the author uses to support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
The author is clear when he describes Venus being an important planet to discover. In the text, it says "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our sloar system". They also state, "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters". The author is giving background on Venus and how Earth-like it used to be. This is the important part of Venus in the article that the author is describing.
Next, the author makes sure to describe the dangerous part of Venus too. For example, he says "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere". The author is describing that Venus is a very dangerous planet to discover. As in the texts, it says "...temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet". He aslo describes previous missions to Venus, stating "...since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades". This is more evidence that the author supports the idea of studying Venus despite the dangers.
In conclusion, the author does a excellent job supporting the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presnts. The author supports this idea with evidence from the text. He concludes his idea at the end by stating, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expaned to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation". | 2 |
Welcome my name is Bianca a scientist at NASA. Many of you may know about the strange "Face on Mars," and how there are countless rumors about the famous being a natural landform or bona fide evidence of life on Mars. While scientists belive and have configured it is in fact a natural landform skeptics just do not agree.
However, May 24, 2001 when the photo was snapped scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, since it was common around Cydonia. Just this peticular one had unusual shadows that make it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. When NASA uneiled the image the caption noted "huge rock formation which resembles a human head formed by shadows giving illusion of facial features." They said or reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. In fact it did!
Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists are just glued to the fact that they think the Face is evidence to life on Mars. They say its evidence that NASA would rather hide than show, but reality is us as NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars!
Although, few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact conspiracy theorists were driven to prove it was evidence of life. And so on April 5, 1998 Michael Malin and his MOC or Mars Orbiter Camera snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. When the image first appeared on a JPL web site it revealed...a natural landform. Proving there was no alien monument.
After all, skeptics were still drilled to the idea that it is bona fide evidence of life on Mars. Conspiracy theorists said perhaps the alien markings were hidden by haze. So our NASA team on April 8, 2001 the global surveyor drew close enough for a second look. 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!
Finally, after all photos were taken and examined the 2001 pictured demonstrated that what the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. Much like most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. So after all the Face on Mars was acutally just a natural landform. All rumors have cleared the air. Scientists have configured! | 3 |
What I would say to a person who thinks that the face on Mars was created by aliens is this , for one we have never found any living things besides bateria and organisims on another plant. The reason why I say this is because NASA has no proof besides what they think is a face created by aliens on Mars. I have watched many shows about space and other shows like Brian Games. Brian Games had a show about faces, and it said that you can see an object and make it look human or make it look like a face, such as a specific flower that might look like a face. This is what those scientists are doing in this very situation. They are mistaking a natural made land form on Mars as an alien build face. There are many ways this landform could have been made. It could have been made by wind and rocks blowing across what you could say is a landscape. As you can see from the landform is that it has faided away over time and now looks like a lump of sand, which wouldn't you think if aliens made that they would fix it up and make it look like a face again? So this is my argument on why I believe that this is just a natural made landform. | 1 |
Venus is one of the closest planet to Earth, second in comparison to Mars who switches that role every once in a while. Venus is considered to be one of the most Earth-like planets that is in our solar system and many scientists want to know more about this treturous planet. Venus has its downs even though the planet is always being looked at for exploration, the conditions can not be survived by humans, but even so NASA is still working on different solutions to get there.
The "Evening Star", Venus, in our solar system is the brightest star in the Earth's sky bringing curosity to many of the scientists working at NASA. These people want to explore Venus and all it has to offer but there are some drawbacks. The passage talks about how every past mission, unmanned, sent to Venus has failed and no spacecraft has survived for more than a few hours in this toxic environment. Not to mention the not a single spacecraft has touched down on the surface of Venus in almost three decades. The planet Venus might at one time have been the closest planet to Earths conditions known to man, and from what scientists do know Venus has rocky sediment which shows signs of valleys, mountains, and craters. Although scientists continue to have an interest in this dangerous planet there are some key factors of how this planet can not be explored.
Venus has an environment that humans can not live on because of how extreme the conditions are. The atmoshpere on Venus is about 97 percent carbon dioxide which is not compatible with human life as well as the clouds that are made of corrosive sulfuric acid. This combination makes it almost impossible for light to enter the planet. The average temperature on the ground of Venus it around 800 degrees on any given day, which is almost 10x hotter than the warmest places on Earth. This is the hottest temperature of any planet in our solar system. These conditions on the ground of Venus are even more dangerous than any submarine going into the deepest part of the ocean, so hot that most metals would liquify. It is hard to even conjuor how NASA is even going to begin to think of an idea as to how to get some type of spacecraft up to Venus.
Even though the conditions are deadly to humans NASA is still working on ideas of how to study Venus, and they have some ideas. Scientists have studied simple electronics made of silicon carbide to help with preventing the heat from damaging the expensive technology within, but with testing the spacecraft would only last about a week on the surface of the planet. Another theory originates with technology used in World War ll and has computors that aren't as technologically advanced but can still produce viable information. These computors are made up of gears and levers in order to write up important information. The strong metals in the older computers are proven to hold up better against harsher weather conditions over the tin mostly used on newer forms of electronics. The latest theory, and the one that may just work, is to create a flying mode of transportation in order to keep the technology from touching Venus's hot surface. Putting the craft up into the air about thrity miles makes the conditions almost the same as if they were on the Earths surface. These strong ideas of how scientists may study this hazordous shows how new and better ideas can develop in the future.
Understanding different planets in our solar system may be able to help with how we take care of the one we currently live on. The exploration of Venus may become a true and not as daunting task with our scientists persistence in curiousity of the harsh planet. Being that Venus is at some points the closest planet to the Earth it is important for humans to understand what it has to offer, after all it is called Earths "twin planet." | 3 |
Do you think our future will be a place with cars that we wont be driving? Will they be a world full of robots for drivers or just simply the car driving itself. Every year they are getting closer and closer to inventing driveless cares, in 2009 they started or were trying to invent a driveless car. They have been thinking and fascinated these cars in television and in movies. I agree o driveless cars being used because sesing the roads, driving and assisating, and it will be safer and thats what the law or the goverments wan't.
The car has sensors and will break by itself or know when there is danger or stuff behind you when you are in reverse.
Ever sice 1980 they started to use speed sensors but that was for the speed now they are putting break sensor when you push on the break hard the breaks automaticly turn on and they stop the car really quick to avoid crashes. These sensors will help out the human driver better controle and for he could manage the car and not to spin out. More and more improvements in sensors and cuputer hardware and software are being invented for driving could be more safer.
Driving and assisting people would help with being more safe on the road. In 2003 they announced the development of "Traffic Jam Assistant", meaning if you are driving near a traffic jam or an accident has accured you cant pass 23mph. The car can steer,accelerate, and brake themselfs, but they have touch sensors the car wont move if it doesnt feel the hands on the stearing wheel and the drivers full attention. For tye drivers wont get board they brought in-car entertaiment systems that use heads up displays, displays will turn off when the driver needs to take ove, something no availablee to drivers trying to text will the cell phone. This assistance will help people that cant see good but need to drive and handlycapp people also.
The law wants safe cars and the drivers to be safe and they are giving them cares that will be safe and drive by themself. A lot of states like California, Florida, and Nevada do not think these cars are safe so they are illegal in these states. Alot of states these cars have been proven to be more better and safer than cars that are there so it is legal to have these cars there. They dont even let them test drive how safe they are. Still if the law is changed they will have to make new laws because in the case of an accident, if technolagy fails.
This is why I agree on on the development of these cars. They are gonna be the future they will help alot of people not crash and to be more safe on the road. They are planning to have self driving cares by 2020 so we wont have to do anything anymore just hop on the cars on point A and get off at point B. The qote they use in this article ," The road to the truly automomous car stretches on ahead of us, but we grow closer to the destionation every day" goes with this article because every year of years they are getting closer and closer to 100% saftey and driverless cars. We are getting safer cars becausebthey are sensing the road, they help us with driving and assisting, and it will be sater and thats what the laws and the goverment want, to have safe cars. | 2 |
Mars is a very big place. scientict are trying to figure out how or if people would be able to live there. in this picture there is a thing face of some sort.
people beleave that it happen to be created by aliens. it appears to be that even if it was aliens wouldnt they have to prove if there was such things as aliens. this bump couldve been created by a coment, rock, or even a meteroid. i personaly would have to disagree with the people that think it was created by aliens do to the fact that there is not any proof that aliens even exsist. there is not even any proof that this but couldnt have been a meteroid, coment, or even rocks that hit mars.
in paragraph 3 it claims that a huge rock formation which resembles a human head. in the artical it even says that it most likely couldve been a rock. this is one of the reason why i agree with the way it wasnt formed by aliens it was a rock. alien are yet to be discovered where in this view u cant say that it was a alien it is not. | 1 |
My claim towards this topic on whether or not to use this computer technology in a classroom would be effective or not. In my opinion yes, im all for this technology in a classroom. Mainly because i know as a student i do get bored and i do get tired when im reading an article and if this technology can read our facial recognition and change the lesson based on how us as students are feeling on the scale of facial recongnition. This article states that the computers in schools now wouldnt be able to handle this sort of technology, so what my main question is. How much would it cost schools to get a hold of this kind of technology and especially this amount of technology. When schools globaly are already asking the government for more money as a whole alot of schools have already asked for over 5 referendums in less than 4 years, in that case how could schools afford 3,000 computers with this technology inside it.
If we were to switch to this facial recognition software why couldnt us students jut all be homecshooled by a computer beause as Dr. Huang states " Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor" so why would we need a(n) human intructor if this technology can act as a human instructor and change lesson plans according to how we are feeling based on facial expressions. In conclusion all i would like to say is that yes this technology could be very effective in schools in the future if schools had the mony to buy all this technololgy. An even bigger point I would like to make is why have school, if this technology can act as a human instructor? | 2 |
It is becoming increasingly evident that one part of life many older people took for granted may be going away soon. The invention of the car was revolutionary, but in modern times it seems that many wish to build communities that do not revolve around them. The reason for doing this vary somewhat across the different movements, but one main reason is that recuding car useage will reduce the amount of greenhouse gases and pollution. In fact, many places where this movement has gained traction are citites where pollution was a major issue, such as Paris and Bogota. Another factor is that many people simply are not as interested in cars as they were a few years ago, and have licenses only as a backup. The various movements are spreading all over the world, slowly but surely.
"In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eeirly devoid of traffic jams," said Andrew Selsky of the Seattle times. Bogota, Colombia is notable for being one of the earlier players in this movement, and has shown that it can be effective. Not even rain convinced people that cars would be a better option. "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders," said Enrique Riera. Not only have other Colombian cities joined in the movement, but is has inspired similar actions in other countries. It would only be a matter of time before some people would take it to the next level.
"Residents of this upscale community are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: they have given up their cars," said Elisabeth Rosenthal of the New York Times. While not outright banned, cars are looked down upon in this square mile rectangle, where it is much easier to simply walk or bike. The only places to park are a $40,000 parking garage and inside one's house. "...Some new suburbs may well look more Vauban-like, not only in developed countries but also in the developing world..." said Rosenthal. This approach is gainging ground, as not only does the model inherently reduce carbon emissions, but also is a sharp contrast to 1950s-style suburbs that previously dominated the land. Another probable reason, however, might be due to shifting interests. You might soon be seeing less cars in general.
"...America's love affair with its vehicles seems to be cooling," said Rosenthal. America may be the home of the classic muscle car, but many people today would rather have something less flashy and more utilitarian. 2005 was the year where the most people were driving in recent times, and ever since then it has been dropping. "I think that it means something fundamental it going on," said Prof. Michael Sivak of the University of Michigan. Many people are simply losing interest in driving cars, while some people simply cannot afford them due to socioeconomic factors. Also, the advent of the Internet and social netowrking has made many people "feel more conncected" without the need to drive around in oder to meet someone in real life. If this trend continues, which it is predicted to do, then situations like what recently occured in Paris would be more readily accepted.
"After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial ban to clear the air of the global city," said Robert Differ of the Chicago Tribune. It seems almost surreal for a major city to outright ban driving, but that is exactly what Paris did. Cars are occasionally banned based on their license plate, so as to still let some traffic flow while reducing smog, which had become a major problem for the city. "...[The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world," said Differ. Of all the European capitals, Paris is by far the most polluted, mostly due to a combination of warm weather and the abundance of diesel fuel. The simple act of banning driving has been a major help in reducing smog, with the skies clearing up enough for it to be considered safe for odd-numbered cars to return to the streets. It still might take some time for other cities to go to measures as extreme as Paris did, but it very well might happen eventually.
The world has seen many communities test the idea of modern carless commuting for us, and we should be taking notes. While copying Paris seems like a risky way to start, communities like Vauban are excellent baby steps, and major citites like Bogota participating in these activities only once a year can get people used to the idea elsewhere. Decreasing carbon emissions is an important goal for urban areas, and for a while it seemed like cars were a neccesary evil. Now, however, it has been shown that life can go on without them. Perhaps further experiments will occur in the future that will introduce the idea to more people, letting others consider various options. Now is the perfect time to prepare for the future. | 3 |
Have you ever lose a live one to a car crash before.The future in cars is here with self driving cars that car carsh will not happen again because the make less polution then the cars of today the can sensor in the car and but not less the will save you hundrads from paying to get you car fix.
The car make less polition then the cars today the burn less fiul and get around faster. The use less gas that means the air will be beater. The new car will travel farther then a car today with less gas and the means lower gas prices means more money in your pocket.
The new car will save you handreds of dollers in repares.The new car will not crash that means more money for you and our family. The car stop before it gets into a crash. That will make it you will never need to repare your car ever again. The new driverliss car will be the only car you need becouse you will not have to replace.The are great for new drivers becaouse the will stop you teen son or duaghter from deading in a crash.
The car haves sensers that can senes that something that is around it and stop or speed up to avoud it. The care can tell if your hand are on the will or not. The car will not move if both hand are not on the will. The be less death and less people who try to tex and drive. The new car also have a camrea that whaches you as you whach the road. If you are not the car will pull over and stop.They new car is heare to stay in this changeing world.
The new car use less gas and save the world from being drilled for more oil. The new car is the only car you will ever need just need to up date the car ever other year.There be less death from car crashes and more happy familys out there in the world. The future in cars is here with self driving cars that car carsh will not happen again because the make less polution then the cars of today the can sensor in the car and but not less the will save you hundrads from paying to get you car fix. | 3 |
I think that we can help people in america by going over sea to help people all over the world. I enjoyed playing table tennis with my friends on board after we had deliverd the animals. We also used to play softball and soccer when we were done. I still remeber the time I saw the Panama canal, the Acropolis in Greece, and the time I took a gondola ride in Venice. If you lived on a farm this is a great oportunity for you. I hope you can join and learn to love it.
I think that you would enjoy it even more if you loved animals. I loved feeding the horses and cows. If you do join heres a tip, learn to love the animals and treat them very kind. Also dont spook the horses they are like big babies. The cows shouldnt be as bad but be careful anyway. I loved spending time with the animals. It was a great experince. | 1 |
In the article Making Mona Lisa Smile, the ariticle states, " She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, 2 percent angry."
The value of using the technology to read read students' emotional expressions is a good thing. in the the text it states, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal." Each muscle has a different job to do in the artical one of the examples that is given it the orbicularis oris muscle. This muscle is aroound your mouth and it tightens when you get angry.
"Eckaman has classifiied six basic emotion- happiness, surprise,anger, disgust, and sadness- and then associated with characteristic movements of the the facial muscles." All muscles are different, each muscle controls a different part of the face. In the article, " The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model musr move like human muscles." People show various amount of facial expressions and by using this technology researchers can tell what peoples emotions are.
In this study of facial expressions researchers found out that there are many types of facial expressions.
The subjest of Leonardo da Vinci's painting of Mona Lisa during the Renaissance is a major topic of this research. Mona Lisa shows four emotions: happy, disgust, fear, and anger. The software that Dr. Paul Eckman has created known as FACS which stands for Facial Action Coding System. The FACS can recogmize all of Mona Lisa's emotions. | 1 |
I believe that driverless cars should not continue to be developed. Like all technology, its malfunctions can be unexpected. Also, driverless cars can not be 100% reliable. Finally, some parts of the driverless cars can be very distracting.
All technology has its malfunctions, so what makes these cars different from that? At any given point, a driver could be just going down the street, and have a malfunction and start swerving all over the road. If that happened, it could be fatal for some people involved. "their cars have driven more than half a million miles with out a crash" but does that mean that atfter that half a million miles , it crashed?
The cars are not 100% reliable as to their preciseness. The cars would use GPS to get the driverwhere they want to go. But what happens when the GPS is out of date and they have a road under construction and the car just goes straight into that construction without a clue. The driverless cars cannot be relied on just by themselves.
There have to be alot of new features in these cars, like cameras and touchscreen dashboards etc. The cars are designed to notify the driver when the car might not be able to handle whats coming up, so what happens when the car notifies the person and they start driving, and some of the features distract them? Thats a bad combination. So with all the new features, the cars can be made 100000% more dangerous to the drivers and the people around them.
In conclusion, they cars are not suited to ever be on the streets. The driverless cars can become unresponsive and spaz out, distract drivers, or even be unreliable with navagation. So in my opinion, we should not let the driverless cars keep being produced and tested. | 2 |
"Driverless cars" sound good until you're in an accident situation and you get blamed. What about people who enjoy driving and traveling for a living? That joy is just going to be tooken away because some people are too lazy to drive their self where they need to go. Then whjen this happens, people start falling asleep at the wheel and not being able to be alerted when the car needs an actual human.
I think driverless cars would be pointless. Like stated in the article "Would'nt drivers get bored waiting for thier turn to drive?" A person like me loves to drive and I would'nt want a car doing it for me. Plus when its an accident or road construction the car would'nt know what to do if the driver couldnt be alerted. It would be so much confusion and problems on the road with driverless cars. But the big focus that was mentioned is "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or manufacture?" 9/10 I think it would be put on the driver but in rememberence its called a DRIVERLESS car. I dont think this idea is just something we need.
If people would really stop and think about how many problems this would bring and not just about how cool it is then they would see all the problems it would bring before it's here. Or maybe they should create this car so they can bump their head on how they are using technology in all the wrong ways. | 1 |
Driverless cars are an advance in technology, even though they are not fully self automatic yet .Driverless cars may not be fully driverless yet but in the future it is possible. Even if people dont like the idea of it its still going to happen. Driverless cars are not going to be any good for our generation.
Driving is something that you will need your full attention for even if the car is self driven it can still screw up. I don't personally see the point of somthing that is not going to help anyone. Chances are that there will be more accidents and more people will be injured or even die because all technology malfunctions at one point or another and there is no stopping that. Technology is a good thing when it is helping people. Times are changing and no one can stop it. In paragraph 9 it says who will be responsible if the car happens to mess up the manufacturer or the driver.
Think to yourself who would you hold responsible. Knowing that all technology malfunctions,not to mention the car would be overly priced just for it to be able to drive without a driver and sense things. Most people like being aware if their surroungings. What if the car stoped and the driverless addition stoped working .You would already be used to not driving and over all forget how to do it. You wouldn't be aware of where you are because you were to busy doing other things then to know your surroundings.
Knowing how to drive makes things easier on you. Technology is not always a good thing. Technology doesn't always work out the way you want it too its easy to look something up and the internet not give you what you want or what's true would you trust your care taking you to where ever? It's easy saying something is better because it has technology incorperated but is that really true.
Some things are better left with out all the added gadgets and I belive a car is one of those things. A car is more reliable when you personaly are controling it. You know where you are going and I think if they want to make additions to are car make tires that don't go flat or make the car fix its self. Knowing how to get places yourself will make things so much easier on you. If your tire goes flat your car can not take you to the nearest area to call someone or get help.
My opinon over all driverless cars help no one. They make nothing easier and will not be affordale for the average person. They will malfunction more then a regular car and make accidents more common. | 3 |
Life goes on without cars in German suburb. Well at least thats what it sounds like. While the residents of Vauban, Germany in a community have given up their cars, Paris also believes banning cars for a while would be good due to the smog. I am shocked because cars are a big help if you asked me. Why do they think cars are not useful anymore?
The residents of Vauban, Germany feel that cars are not really useful to them. "As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here."Most of the residents say they are much happier without their vehicles and would perfer it that way. I believe they have adapted to not depending on cars and they dont mind walking. Many feel they were tense while having their cars , like it was a burden. "Vauban, completed in 2006, is an exampple of a growing trend in Europe, the united states and elsewhere to seperate suburban life from auto use." Vauban has been successful without cars or auto use and their encouarging others to do it to. the concept their using is not bad , but I feel auto use makes things quicker and easier.
Vauban, Germany are not the only ones not using cars. Paris has banned driving due to the smog. In my opinion Paris has a great reason for banning driving , and yes because of the smog. On the other hand , Paris believes the cause of the smog is because of the cars pollution. The cars are causing pollution because of the gasoline used. "Diesel is was blamed, Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe, according to Reuters." This is a valuable point that cars are not useful in Paris. Well if they can find a gasoline for their cars that will not cause pollution or smog , auto use shouldn't be so bad in Paris.
We all have different feelings about cars and auto use. In the United States, cars are a big part of transportation for us."A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009..."In other countries around the world walking and other ways of transportation works for them. Such as Vauban, Germany they enjoy walking and dont need cars. And in Paris cars were banned for causing smog and they are getting around just fine without auto use. | 2 |
In every presidential election, thousands of americans vote for their most favorite candidate, however, most voters feel that their votes don't count because a process called the Electoral College are the ones who are voting. I have heard that since people have been rioting in protest for a change, you the state senator will ask the government to abolish the Electoral College. Unfortunately, we can't let that happen, the Electoral College is very important to presidential elections because provide the certainty of outcome, allows the presidential candidate to have transregional appeal, focus their campaign efforts on the toss-up states,and avoid run-off elections. Without the Electoral College, the elections would be a mess.
First, the Electoral College is important because they give the certainty of outcome. For example, the Electoral votes of a winning candidate exceeds the popular votes he gets. While both votes have disputes on the outcome, the Electoral votes very rarely get disputed. For example in 2000 Al Gore had the most popular votes but lost because Bush had more Electoral votes. If there was no Electoral College, the winners of many campaigns would be their opponents.
Next, the Electoral College is important because it requires the presidential candidates to have transregional appeal. For example if a president decided to only do his campaign in one region, there wouldn't be enough electoral votes to give him the win. This means that the candidates have to spread their campaigns throughout the country not only for enough Electoral votes but to have the people in the other regions feel that the president will have regard of their interests.
Next, the Electoral College is important because Allows the candidates to focus their efforts on the toss-up states. For example, in toss-up states, the voters are more likely to pay attention to the campaign. Because of this, the voters will pick the most respectable of the candidates. Since the Electoral College allows this, people in toss-up states will listen to the candidates, review the information about each one and decide on which one to vote for. If it weren't for the Electoral College, the candidates would be clueless on which states would rank up the popular vote.
Finally, the Electoral College is important because it avoids run-off elections. For example the Electoral College avoids the problem of all candidates not getting a majority of the votes. If there is a run-off election, it would complicate the entire process, but since there is an Electoral College, they provide a clear winner.
If there was only popular votes, the change of run-off elections would go up causing problems in the election.
Many people in this country also believe that the Electoral College is important, however many others do not. I am a person that believes that the Electoral College is needed because of certainty of outcome, requiring the candidates to have transregional appeal, focus their campaign efforts on the toss-up states, and avoiding run-off elections. I write this letter to you, the state senator to not give up hope on the Electoral College. Without it, elections in our country just wouldn't be right for everyone. | 3 |
People who think the Face was created by aliens are illogical. Some people think that because they dont believe its a land form, it looks man-made, and NASA hasnt shown any proof of the Face showing that it is a landform. The people have no explanation how the Face was created or what created it.
People think the Face was made by aliens because all they have seen were pictures. The pictures only showed shadows that outlined eyes, a nose, and a mouth of a human face. When NASA released this news it attracted attention to Mars because there was a conspiracy that there was ancient civilization or life on Mars, which people thought were aliens.
Next, The people didn't believe NASA's theory that the Face was a natural landform because in the picture that the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia to take showed that there was wispy clouds indicating it was winter around that time. The people blamed the clouds that they couldn't see the markings on the Face because they were hidden by clouds. People also said that the Face was bona fide evidence so NASA would rather hide the Face instead of announcing the information to the public. But some defenders of the NASA budget said they wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars because they would make more money off of the publicity of the "alien" made landform.
Last but not least, NASA began to take closer photos of the Face to prove to the people that it was a natural landform made by shadows. So they went 25 degress closer to the center of the Face in the field of view. Malin's team captured an amazing photograph using the camera's maximum resolution meaning zoom point. This photo made the Face three times bigger than its actual size on Mars. So that means if there were any objects like alien people you would've been able to see them clearly in the zoomed up photo.
Garvin said, "that the picture of the Face reminds him of the most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Garvin said this because NASA found out what the picture actually showed which was the Martian equivalent to a butee or mesa. Which were landforms that were common around the American West. The Middle Butte is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.
I agree to NASA's side for leading the investigation of the Face besides just telling the public that there was alien life on Mars. They used the right information like photos and descrbe how the Face was made by shadows which really looked like an human face. The public thought there was life on Mars because when NASA took the pictures there was cloud in the way because it was winter in Mars's time. Also they thought since they've only seen photos NASA was hidjng information from them so they would'nt get bombarded with press and other stations when NASA really wanted the publicity and more money for more reserch. | 3 |
It could not have been an alien because landforms like that are very common. Also the suns shadow is one of the only reasons it looks like a face.They are not just common on mars though there common on earth as well. The last picture they took was to the point were you could see rocks small enough to be gravel so it was not made by aliens or they would have left something behind.
On April 8th, 2001 it was a cloudless summer day they rolled the space craft 25 degrees to center the face in. The took a picture 3 times bigger than the last. Each pixel
spans 1.56 meters but the old picture taken in 1976
is only 43 meters per pixel. So if there was anything in the picture you could see what they are.
NASA would not keep this a secret because it would benfit them. More people would likely fund them because they want to know more about the aliens. Plus we are NASA scientist we have seen the information first hand.
So in conclusion there is no doubt that "The Face" is not something made by an alien but it is just a land formation.We have pictures and there was just the rock and ground.Also Jim Garvin says "it reminds me of the Snake River Plain of Idaho. | 1 |
Based on what I have read o do not think self riving cars should be allowed. The law is right based on what they say these cars eventhough they have sensos to make the driver aware of situations in need of a human. The person in the car may become to focused on what they are doing and ignore the sensor. The idea of self driven cars is too risky. Even though they are going for safety a car cant drive like a human or have the response time of a human and even computers make mistakes.
Even in a simple GPS they tend to make mistakes often. So what happens if the cars GPS is off on its calculations and the car drives through a house. Will they blame that on the driver. I would hope not. It shouldnt be the drivers mistake if the car messes up. You cant always rely on computers.
So no I highly disagree with this. Computers arent perfect, and there are just some things only humans can do. Driving might just be one of those things. What these people are visualizing are just things they have seen on t. v that does not mean it will happen the same as it does on t. v. | 2 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," it gives you many reason why we should explore Venus. You can tell from this artical, although there are many dangers that might be presented there are many good thing that can come. Some people believe that life can be found in other planes. The author gives us valid reason why we should explore Venus. He states that Venus is closes to the Earth, he also states that Venus and Earth have many similarity. Lastly because of the challenge.
In the first Paragraph, the author says that Veuns is often referres to as Earth's twin. Venus is the the closest planet to earth distnace wise. Also the density and size are very similar. Since the sun orbits at different speed sometimes we are closer to mars and other time we are closer to venus. Venus is sometimes right around the corner. Since somethimes it is the closes plane towards us humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on Venus. Meaning we can gather more information on it.
Venus may have once been the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. Many years ago, Venus was probably covered with oceans and could have supported various form of life. Today Venus still has features that are analogous to those on earth. The author states the plante has a rocky sediment and familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Venus can be our nearest option for planetary visit.
Lastly, facing the challenges presented by Venus has a important value. Human curiosity will most likely lead us into many equally intimdating endeavors. Our travels on earth should not be limited by the dangers and doubts it should be expanded to meet the last edges of imagination. By trying to explore Venus we could have a better understanding . As the human population grows we will need more space than earth. If sicentist could find a way to form human life it would be helpful to everyone and everything around us.
In conclusion, the author states the artical with many valid facts and gives a good and strong supporting ideas. There are many thing we can benifit from if we challenge and explored Venus. The author also gave very good and constructive reason as to facts. He also gaves us the prositve and negtives but told us how the positive out ruled the negitive in many ways. | 3 |
Being able to see human emotions is a key point in teaching and learning, if a student see's the teacher is distressed they will most likely have a harder time focusing. If the students themselves are bored or confused the teacher has to re-explain wich may confuse others and bore even more. Now think about digital schools, they have no way of telling how the student is learning exept answers at the end, so if the student is bored they will just skip through. But what if it didn't have to be like that, what if there was a way to a a more human element into online school, emotion reading software.
By constructing a 3d model of muscles in the human face this technology can read faces and tell their emotion, such as joy or anger, but most importantly confusion. If the online school could see that the student is confused they could change the content to be
more undertandable. As stated in the text "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal" meaning that it could work for anyone.
If you're still not convinced think of this, if a computer were to be able to read emotions think of what that could do for the students, they could have their own personlized lessons ready for them with ease, they could learn at a pace best suited for them, giving them the experience they deserve. Along side this techers jobs would become monumentally easier, as they would only really need to input the information from the days lesson and keep the system going.
Another benifit of this technology is that if a student is feeling frustrated or distressed the computer could modify the lesson to help them have an easier time, for example if a student's social life had them upset the computer could lessen the amount of work ot be done for the day, or maybe the student is feeling excited, the computer would be able to modify the less and the student might get more done that day.
In any case emotion reading software could be extremely helpfull to teachers and students alike, providing them both with the experience they need to learn better and make a better future. In conclusion Though emotion reading software is relativly new, using it right could make a better learning experience. | 3 |
Driverless cars seem like a very neat thing to have but unsafe. We never know what could happen having one of these types of cars. Yes they sound like a really great idea. It can do all the work for you as it says in the article "they can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves." Which is really awesome but what if something happens and all that ends in something bad.
What if the car starts to have a malfunction and loses control. Who knows who would also be responible for the inccedent, like the author says "who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" The driver may have to pay for the damge if they were to be responsible for the problem and that wouldnt be any fun or cheap. Also in the article it asks if it would be boring waiting your turn? So true though wouldnt it be boring just sitting there waiting your turn to drive? Aslo what if drivers are to busy on their phones and a deer pops right out and the car doesn't stop on its own. To put the car together manufacturers had to put so many sensors on the driveless cars isnt that a little to much? Last but not least theses cars can't drive through situations like traffic issues or navigate through roadwork. I do not think these cars are worth it.
How I feel about driveless cars is a no go. I don't think they should be sold to anyone. These people just never know what could go wrong with them. Very great idea just probably should stay an idea. They would need so much done to them to ever truly be safe for the people. It would take them many years to get to where they went them to be. Like they say "Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020." That's aways away to be waiting for them to come out, by then they'll have hovercrafts. | 2 |
Studying venus would be really interesting but venus is hard to study because it´s dangerous and it has really high pressure.
Venus is sometimes known as earth´s twin because venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size. Scientist have tried to get to get numerous spacecrafts on venus but no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Venus is one of the hardest planet to study and research. It´s hard for astrounauts to go to venus because temperature is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what humans experience on our own planet.
If NASA sent humans to venus it would be really hard for the astronauts to land because it has hostile conditions on the surface of venus. When the humans would land on venus the air pressure would be close to some of the levels in the sea and the temperature would be toasty.
In conclusion, venus has challenging things it presents and it would make it very hard for people in NASA to put human life on a planet that has very high air pressure and temperature that we are not used having on earth. | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System should not be used in schools to help students. There are benefits to this system, but the bad outweigh the good. This technology used to reconize emotions will affect students in ways that aren't necessary, and cause unwanted problems in the classroom.
Firstly, the article metions this system being used on computers while students are working to analyze their emotions. The author writes " 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming comfused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor'" (Alto 6). Having a computer watch students' facial expressions while working could make the students feel uncomfortable and give them anxiety. Being uncomfortable while working will effect the way a student learns. They will not be focusuing on the material they are learning, but instead the idea that they are being watched. This is a problem that's not needed in the classroom and can be avoided.
Secondly there are tons and tons of emotions a human can express. The author writes " Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS. Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles" (Alto 3). Having only classified six emotions, is not a very wide range. What if for example, a student were to show an emotion that the computer doesn't have programmed and reconizes it as somthing else, changing the lesson to fit the wrong emotion? This would cause the lesson to be changed when the student didn't need it to be. This creates a technology problem along with the problem of fixing the lesson and wasting time the student could be using to learn.
Lastly, having a computer analize a students emotions while working would leave the teacher with nothing to teach or help the students with. This might seem like a good thing at first, but teachers create the classroom atmosphere and keep students ingaged in learning. Why have a computer analyze student emotions when teachers have been doing it perfectly for years?
The Facial Action Coding System is a great advance in technology, but when it comes to schools, the System should not be used. It only creates problems that are not needed. These problems could be avoided by not using the system. | 3 |
The breeze of the late summer air, it's fragrance of flowers and the occasional bakery wafting into our noses. The sounds of children safetly playing amongst themselves and soft chatters of people coinsided with the smell. It seemed like an utterly new universe where we tread, thanks to no more pollution and the ruckus of vehicles beeping and swerving every now and then, the atmosphere was delightful. The advantages of banning cars or at least reducing them is that the carbon dioxide levels will decrease and business will bloom.
To begin with, banning cars/reducing them will benefit our ecosystems and enviornments. Take Paris for example, they banned cars due to all of the smog and pollution it was emitting. Congestion, traffic, was down 60% after five days of intense smog; it was worst than one of the most populated cities in the world, Beijing (Source 2). That CO2 rises into the air, the atmopshere of Earth trapping all of that heat in, and it bounced back down at us. The climate would be more reasonable, there will be a less amount of traffic jams and people being late to work, and maybe some day, our Ozone Layer could replenish. Carlos Arturo Plaza from Source 3 stated, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." We as a population don't have to completely outlaw driving but more acts of car-pooling and using public transportation will immensely reduce the CO2. We can all be able to give up something for the benefit of the common good, in Bogota, Columbia it has been three straight years that cars have been banned found in Source 3; and they have a population of a wopping seven million. Michael Sivak brings up a good point in Source 4 saying, "What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household and per person started to come down two to three years before the downturn." Elisabeth Rosenthal states that, "Mine (19 and 21) [speaking of her children] have not bothered to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where one could some in handy. They are interested, but it's not a priority. They organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends.
Alongside with the bettering the enviornment, there is the sudden blooming of business and profit. With everyone on their feet and searching somewhere to hang , shop owners will be opening for business, and actually take part in the outside world. In Source 3, a valid point is relevant, "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughtout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restauraunts and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." There will be a fluctuation of revenue throughout all these newly built shops, stores, entertainment centers, and restauraunts. People will be more active with running, walking, and biking around the city/town. In Bogota, Columbia (according to Source 3) new paths have been opening up, "It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city," stated by Mockus the city mayor. An ordinary person, Heidrun Walter, positively commented on the ban of cars, "When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Consider all the factors of health, one will be fully exercised on a daily basis, there will be little to no car accidents where people have died either in the vehicle or on the sidewalks; DUI, drinking and driving, will not be an pestering issue anymore.
In conclusion, the idea of banning cars is magnificant. There will be less pollution, less traffic jams, more businesses and shops and restauraunts opening to suit our needs, and just overall great for the enviornment. We can all join up together as a union to save our Earth, the Ozone Layer from allowing harmful objects from outer space into our atmosphere, and induce more activity amongst each other. We will all be happier and less irritated without the ruckus of cars and check-up like oil leaks, motor mishaps. Think of this new world, it could happen with one voice. | 4 |
A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. It's a lot of fun and you can do most of the things you thought you'd never do. I will give you four reasons why you should come join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
The first reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that you can help people in different countries. I will give you two examples why. First example is that you can go overseas and give countries horses, young cows, and mules. The second example is that you can it'll show your personality and people will like you more. The second reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that you can travel a lot. There's two examples for this reason too. First example is that you can go to like Europe and China and other places. The second example is that while your working, you go to all of these different places that you never to before. The third reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that you might have free time to go different spots in that country. Here are two examples for this reason. First example is that you might go to a gift shop and get you some things to take back to your country. The second example is that you can go look at the things that you might wanted to see but never did. My fourth and final reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that it might change your life. Here are two more examples for this last reason. First example is that you might have thought your life is boring and this was one of a lifetime chance to go to this program. The second example is that you might go to this program and then realize that you want to start joining more and more of these or different kind of programs because it was fun to you.
Those were four reasons why I think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. I suggest that if you ever get this kind opportunity, you should go try it out because you never know what it could be like. It might change your life or have great adventures for you. They might even do both of those things if you think about it. I know I would want to do this if I had the chance to. So if you get this opportunity, just know that it might have some great things for you in life afterwards. | 3 |
The " Unmasking the Face on Mars" is a natural landform because it's a mesa. It's not made by aliens because they would've mad more or diffrent things. In 1976 the picture looks like a huge rock formation. In 1998 the picture don't look like the same as 1976. In 2001 the picture look's more clear but it looks like a moutain.
If aliens did make the "Unmasking the Face on Mars" they would've already found a cilvilization or something else. NASA would already know if there is a civilization on Mars because because NASA discovered the "Unmasking the Face on Mars" in 1976. The "Unmasking the Face on Mars" is just a natural landform said web surfers. There was no monument afeter all.
In April '98 the Face on Mars was located at 41 degrees north martain latitude where it was winter, a cloudy time of the year on the Red Planet. Mission controllers took out their camera and MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Skeptics say alien markings were hidden by haze.
MIssion controllers prepared to look again but it was hard. They never found it. On April 8,2001 a summer day without no clouds they found the Face on Mars. They took a picture.
The picture was good but their was no evidence of a alien civilization. The picture shows that it is a butte or a messa-landforms common around the American West not a alien artifact. "it reminds me most of Middle Butte in the snake river plain of Idaho," Gravin says. "Thats a lava dome dome that forms of a isolated mesa about the same hieght as the Face on Mars. This is why the "Unmasking the Face on Mars" is not made by aliens. | 2 |
1.
The Seagoing Cowboys need more people to send over to Europe and China to help people recover from the World War II. You will be taking care of the animals and cleaning out their stalls. Not only do you take care of the animals, you also help people in need for the animals for food, and milk. You will also get to experience adventures and vist unique places from all around the world.
2.
Lets say it can be boring on the boat the whole time after the animals are gone, but you will still have alot of fun. When the animals are gone; the room that they were in can be turned into a game room were you can play vollyball, table tennis, read, fencing, boxing and many other things. All of these games will help pass the time, and make it seem like a week journey and not a month journey.
3.
One thing to be careful about is the dangers that could happen. You could fall off the boat and into the sea,or if a storm hit the big waves could drown you. Always remember to be prepared and always be careful while on the ship at all times. Do not play around and walk on the railings of the boat, or then you will fall off the boat.
4.
This program will open your eyes, just like it did for Luke Bomberger. He is a small town boy, and he didnt really know about the other countires problems. When he helped thos people he relized that he understood how life was for these people. Luke Bomberger's life changed after the program because he had the chance to go all over the world, and to see the world from another prospective.
5.
The Seagoing Cowboys program will surely help you open your eyes to the world and see how the other countries live. If its your dream to travel the world and help people from wars, or battlles, etc. this program is for you. You will go on adventures that you cant go on everyday, so if you would like to help out these people, travel world, and go on amazing adventures; come join us! | 3 |
Can you imagine a world where no one has to ride the city bus or try to get a taxi? This could happen in the future if companies like Google continue to try to upgrade their driverless cars. This idea is just in the very early steps at the moment, but with more regulated test-drives and advances in technology this could be a reality.
There are many questions like: If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault? If this technology was put into action before it was ready for every possiblity then the blame would fall upon the manufacturer and the government for it's approval. The only cars that are close to completely driverless still require the human to be in the driver's seat and remain focused at all times if needed to take over in certain situations. Computers do not make mistakes, humans do. If not laced with the best programming and top of the line technology, this car could be a failure.
Everything falls back on the maufacturers. If they can provde the world with a driverless car that is reliable and keeps humans out of harms way it would be amazing. Until the driverless cars are perfected they should not be used by the public. The blame if something goes wrong should only be placed on the maufacturers who were relied on to make a safe and easy alternative to human-controlled cars we use today. riverless cars is an idea that can soon be achieved with the right research and testing. | 1 |
I think Luke should convince people to join because you will be on a boat with other people. Plus, helping countries recover after world war 2. Help them recover food supplies, animals, and more".
In the artical it says "44 nations joined together to form UNRRA to care of animals shiped over seas". SO, they hire people called "Seagoing Cowboys."
They were people who had help feed and protect animals such as horses, young cows, and mules. Also, if you join not only will you help the animals but, you would have lots of fun. Thats why Luke should convince people. He got to see cool places like the Acroplis in Greece and he also Took a ride on the gondola ride in venice, Italy. Witch is a streets filled wth water. He also, went to a "excavated castle in crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China". He got to view beautiful places on his way to China and still cared for the animals. Luke has done fun things and been very helpful with the animals.
So, to him feeding animals he also did more then you would imagine thats why people might not want to go because of they think you would only be on a ship for months with fifthy animals. But, he did so much more then clean, feed, and watch or guard the animals. I mean he went on trips to places people who could never afford, or who always dreamed to go! Luke got to see all that for Free only price he had to pay was to love and take care of the animals for countries that need them. All creatures are valueable and should never be treated in a way it dosn't diserve. Who cares if you think siting on a boat with mutiple other people and animals for a month is a waste of time. LUke was on a boat that had about 335 horses. I mean imagine if something had happen to the ship and it sunk! All those deaths of the people and animals that could have saved Millions gone in a flash. This is why I think its a good idea for Luke to convince others to join.
It says that it was a " opportunity of a lifetime." It's not normal everyday that you would get a chance to go on ship and see places you never seen before. It's rare to happen but, thats why you should jump up and take it it's one opportuity you will probly never get again. So, don't take the chance thinking this kind of event would ever occur again so do what you want to do and what you think is right. He had visited nine trips on his trip on a boat in a certain amount of days. Maybe others could visit more places like ten. Even, see things on your journey see animals you have never seen before. Smell odd things you have never had smell before ever in your lifetime. Sure you might get home sick but, you will go back home wants it is over. Think of all the people you saved. Also, the countries too would recover and get stronger. So, let the others know what you have seen on this trip. Join and you too will start your quest to China. Today now start helping others.
In conclusion, this is why Luke should convince others to join because all of these reasons to join for fun, and for helping animals get to were they need to go to help even more people. Theres no way he shoudn't convince others. Just tell them it's for a good cause. You even get to wonder places on way to your destination. This is why I think he should convice others to join. | 2 |
Car, bikes, walking and such are many forms of transportation. Cars are the main favorite overall. But as time continues we see that the drastic need for cars is growing smaller and smaller because we are now seeing the bigger picture; limiting car usage is a bigger plus than a negative.
In Vauban,German the surburb is going "car-free". Rosenthal speaks about how Vauban allows cars but there are only two locations where they may park these cars. If you want to park your car you must buy a space for $40,000, and a home along with your parking space. Due to these facts 70% of Vauban families do not own a car. An advantage of this limited car usage is that people like Heidrum Walter speak about how she is much happier and less tense without her car.
Vauban is in an area that is more accesible to public transportation and closer to stores. The closeness allows people easier accessablity to buses, or walking and biking places. With everything close its easier to get to point A to B. Also reduces pollution and greenhouse gases due to the fact they aren't using cars to get to there locations.
In Source 2 Duffer, speaks about how in Paris bans are being placed against the usage against cars, due to the fact Paris has a high level of smog. Paris had motorists with even-numbered license plates on Mondays leave there cars home or suffer a fine. On Tuesday motorists with odd-numbered license plates were to leave cars home or suffer a fine. The advantage of this ban is that having so many people leave there cars home on Monday allowed the smog to clear enough that the ban for Tuesday was rescind. If Paris were to do this ban for a couple of years there smog issue would be completely gone. This would be a major advantage for them, it would give them less pollution, not as many people getting sick due to the smog, and a less car dependent city.
An event was created in Bogota, Colombia called A Day Without Cars. Which was to have people go car-free for a day. Colombians used many other transportations such as biking, buses, and hiking. This event allowed smog to be reduced due to the fact Colombians could not use a car this day or be fined. Also this event helped spark other areas want to pertake in this event. This was a huge advantage having many other places join A Day Without Cars; this meant more areas helping reduce smog and helping many more areas become aware of the fact cars dont have to be the only form of transportation people use.
All in all if areas become less car dependent, there shall be less smog, pollutions and lastly people wont have to travel as far due to the fact everything will be closer. The smaller amount of cars we have, the more positive outcomes. | 3 |
The Face on Mars is one of the most contriversial landforms around. Many people think that it is an artifact that was left behind by past civilizations on Mars. On the other hand, there are people that beleive it is just a mesa, "landorrms common around the American West." There are many people in both parties, making for a huge "debate." The most logical, however, is that the Face is naturally occuring, due to the evidance that NASA has been able to uncover.
The people that say it is an ancient civilization use illogical evidance for their conclusions, such as, "alien markings were hidden by haze." However, the people that believe it is naturally occuring use stable evidance, including, "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." This evidance shows that the best technology we have shows nothing more than, "a lava dome that takes the form of and isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."
Another way to show that the Face on Mars is naturally occuring is the comparison to the lanforms here on Earth, such as the mesa landforms in the American West. In the passage, Jim Garvin, a cheif scientist at NASA, working specifically on Mars exploration, is quoted saying,"It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Garvin, as said before, is a chief scientists at NASA. If he concludes that it is just like a lanform people can see here, than why would anyone be able to argue that?
People strive to find out what is in the unknown. Researchers are some of the people that put their lives into getting the best evidance that they can find about the unknown. The Face on Mars is one example of many projects scientists have put time and effort into. They will always find the best solution or answer to whatever the question may be. Why not trust their conclusions? | 3 |
The electoral college has many inherint flaws that make it less desirable than a simple election by popular vote. It's only rebuttals to said flaws are weak, and provide little to no reason why the college is beneficial. So there is no real reason to have it in the first place. Popular vote stands to not only correct the errors of the electoral college, but also to refine our voting system. It would accomplish this by closer to a real democracy, and forcing the candidates to win over more people.
A democracy has long been revered as one of the best forms of government. It is more liberating than a dictatorship or monarchy in which people are governed by a higher class, which is more often than not decided by someone other than themselves. In a democracy however, people are given the ability to put who they desire in office. They have the ability to be governed by the person of their choice. This, however, is impeded upon by the electoral college. Because what it does is simply insert a middle man into an otherwise democratic society. We are forced to rely on people we elect to vote for us. Which is irrational as it is completely unecessary. The extra step only sets us up for deception and betrayal. I mean why would you trust a man on the street to cast a vote for you when doing so yourself is much more reliable?
Though why does it even matter if the candidate you want to vote for won't even come to your state? There's obviously no reason to vote democrat if your say will simply be overshadowed by the wave of republicans in your area. With popular vote though, candidates should be more inclined to visit as many states as possible and get their message out there. Because a 51% vote in a state no longer means a 100% victory. With the new influx of political campaigns, perhaps more people are swayed from their usual path of voting. While yes, there are neutral states that need a push either way, you're not going to increase your votes ten-fold by pushing past that 50% barrier. You actually have to earn every vote you get.
There is no real reason to keep the electoral college. It serves as a pointless middle man to an otherwise great government. Popular vote requires more out of the candidates, and puts more say into the individual vote. | 3 |
Cars are a very, very common mode of transportation used all over the world. People depend on cars to get them from place to place every single day. While driving cars seem to be the quickest and easiest form of transportation, there are negative sides to it. These negative effects can be harmful to the environment and humans if we aren't careful. Therefore, citizens should take a step forwards limiting their car usage. The advantages of limiting car usage is that it reduces smog, saves resources, and is a healthier lifestyle.
When cars are used, they can pollute the air with harmful chemicals and toxins. Air pollution is a serious issue that is occuring around the globe. This is important because cars are polluting the air we need in order to survive. Some cities around the world have gotten so polluted that they had to restrict people from using cars over a period of time to try and cleanse the air. If you drove during the ban, then you would recieve a fine. Paris and Bogata are two cities that particitpated in the ban. After the pollution cleared up some, the ban was lifted in both cities. Therefore, reducing the air pollution is a major advantage to not using your car as much.
Over time, cars can use up a lot of resources. Cars run on gasoline, which is a fossil fuel. There is only so much of it and once it's gone, it's gone. Our fossil fuels are being used up quick, so it's time to start saving them. You can save resources by driving around less. Instead of driving yourself, you could either walk, ride a bicycle, skate, ride a bus, or car-pool with some friends. These are all ways you could help save the planet's resources.
Lastly, limiting how much you drive your car can be beneficial because it is a healthier lifestyle for you. You could get more excerise and help the environment at the same time. One community in Germany, named Vauban, gave up their cars completely. They are in a movement called "smart planning." This community gets around by walking or riding bicycles. Their lifestyle includes having stores and markets a walk away so they have easier access to them. Having a healthier lifestyle is an advantage because it's important to take care of yourself.
The advantages of limiting car usage is that it reduces smog, saves resources, and is a healthier lifestyle. Driving less reduces smog because it helps clean the air from toxins. It also helps save the limited amount of fossil fuels that we have. Not to mention, driving your car less will give you a chance to live a healthier lifestyle because you will get much more excercise. Overall, driving less is beneficial to both humans and the environment. Therefore, join the movement and limit your car usage. | 3 |
i think the idea is a good idea , but what if all the cars is gone in someone eles wanted to use the car it's gone be a big arguement or maybe a riot if its more people envolved in the sistuation.
i wouldnt wont that car because in the story it says its a navgation that tells u if theirs a accident etc .. but what if its messed up or doesnt work at the moment what if something happends to car and you dont have a phone or dont no how to use the navgation ?
Like the story says if someone is in a accendent or the technology fails who ault is it the drivers or the manufaturer ? What if something was to happen in it was the manufaturer fault ? what if something happends that the driver did in dont no how to fix the promblem right there or lies abough it ? i think regular cars should just be the opptuion or people should be able to pick on thier on . | 0 |
As the author explains the idea of studying the planet Venus and how dangerous it can be because of the hot temperature, the author supports this idea of traveling to Venus and observing it by providing ways to study Venus safely. Dangerous as it sounds, according from the article, stating that it can melt almost anything due to the hot temperatures in Venus and the poisonous gas that covers the atmosphere, the author still believes that travleing to Venus is a good idea because it can enhance our future travels and overcome obsticles.
According from the article, Venus is a very hot planet that is around 800 degrees Fahrenheit on average, meaning that no spacecraft can survive the landing at all. However, the author believes that spacecrafts should hover around Venus to obeserve the thick atmospehere and temperature. On paragraph 5, the author states, "Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way." This supports the idea of studying Venus, as it shows that flying or hovering Venus wouldn't be a bad idea.
In conclusion, Venus is a very hot planet and has a very poisionus atmosphere. Therefore, traveling to Venus and observing it would be a very difficult task to do. However, the author has provided ways and evidence on how to study the planet Venus safely. Suggesting that hovering over the planet would be a great idea to do, humans can finally see and observe the planet Venus up close. In addition, the author believes that this can help our future travels and the dangers should not prevent us from going any futher more. | 1 |
I believe that the use of technology in the classroom that allows computers to read the facial expressions of students and understand their emotions is extremely valuable. I think this becuase, it could recognize when a student may need more help, it would make learning online much more effective, and could help a variety of ways all through different grades.
The text talks about how a computer could tell how a student is feeling about the material. Paragraph six states "A classroom computer could predict when a student is becoming confused or bored" (D'Alto). By predicting when students have become confused, or bored by the matieral, it could allow the teacher to know who needs more help. After seeing this the teacher could possibly pull these students asside and try re teaching the lesson in a different way that they would undertsand better or would keep them more engaged.
This type of technology could also be extremely valuable to somebody doing online schooling. The text states, "Most human communication is non-verbal...so computers need to understand that too" (D'alto). This example shows that as of now a computer is unable to comprehend a lot of the communication a human puts out. If, for example, a kid taking an online math lesson understood everything to begin with, but then became confused after a certain new topic was brought up, the computer with this new technology could easily recognize this and expand more on this new part and make sure the student displayed signs of understanding before moving on.
Another big advantage to this type of technology is that it can be used effectively to help in classrooms from Pre school, all the way through college. For example if in an early grade, a student was playing a learning game and displayed a frown, the computer could quickly recognize that this student is not enjoying the particular game, and could maybe shift to another game that would be more suited for this childs learning preferences. Paragraph 6 also states, "the same technology can make computer animated faces more expressive- for video games or video surgery" (D'Alto). By making faces more realistic in video surgery it could even be useful to a student whom is in medical school, or by allowing for a wider range of creativity in someone who is in to designing animated video games or movies.
To conclude, i believe this technology could be a great addition to all kinds of classrooms for a number of reasons. This could be a huge advancement in today's education system. | 3 |
The author suggested studying Venus is worthy pursuit depite the danger it presents by pointing out the characterstics of the planet. One of the things he mentioned was that it is simple to see from distance of the earth. Venus is also known as Earth's "twin", which shows that it is not a dangerous place for people to live in. During the roatation of the planet we are are closer to Mars and sometimes we are closer to Venus. The author used his knowledge to evaluate how good Venus is based on it's characterstics.
One of the things he mentioned was that, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in the solar system. even though Mercury is closer to the sun, Venus is the hottest plantet. This hot temerature lead to having volcanoes, earthquakes and many other things related to the hot weather.
The second thing that he talked about was that, scientists proved that Venus and Earth used have a lot in common. one of the things was that, Venus was covered by oceans like Earth and had a chance of having living things. "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary." This qoute supports the idea how Earth and Venus have a lot in common and alike. Which means that Venus is not a dangerous place for human to live in.
"NASA
has one particularly compelling idea of sending humans to study Venus." scientists think that Venus would be a good place to float around and to visit, which means that Venus is not a dangerous place for human beings except some weather problems. Another thing they mentioned was that solar power might be plentiful and the planet is survivable for human beings.
Overall the author used informations from scientists and from the NASA to support his claim. He discussed about the weather of the planet and other characterstics. He also included how Venus and Earth are simillar and what things they have in common. One thing he mentioned was that Venus was covered with oceans just like Earth and it is rocky and has mountain and valleys. All those common characters shows that human beings are able to live in this planet. | 2 |
I ,Luke Bomberger, believe that more young men should join the Seagoing Cowboys program beause it is a life changing experiance and because you get to help other nations in need and it also teaches you the true meaning of hardwork. It gives you an amazing oppurtunity to help the world and the people in it.
My first reason hat you should join this program is because it is a true life changing experiance. I got to tour grand castles and see enourmous canals but the most special thing of it all was seeing the Acropolis in Greece. I also got to help a lot of people in need all over Europe and China. Helping these people in need made me more grateful for what I have and it also taught me how to be a better person.
My next reason that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys progam is because it helps you be more aware of people in other countries and their needs. Im very grateul that I had the opportunity to participate in this program. It relly opened up the world to me. I learned that people in other countries need help during times of war.
My final reason that you should join this program is because you will learn the true meaning of hard work.
I had to clean animal stalls and feed and water all the animals two or three time a day. I also had to pull up bales of hay and bags of oats from the lower holds of the ship. It may sound miserable bit it kept me very busy during those long days at sea.
I believe more young men this program because it will help you with an amazing oppurtunity. | 2 |
Diverless cars would be a very bad idea. This could not only cause many accidents, but it could also be a reason for anyone to not drive. Also driverless cars would never be driverless because in the passage, paragraph 2, they talk about how the cars still need drivers for the cars to go in and out of driveways.
What will happen to drivers ed? Will the next generation ever learn to drive a normal car? The next generation needs to know how to drive a normal car just in case something happens. Such as, they are not financially stable to buy a driverless car or they simply just want a normal car.
When driving you need a seat belt to make sure you dont go flying out of the car in an accident. In paragraph 8 they mention safety. How do you know your children, friends, or family will be safe riding in a driverless car? Many accidents could happen. You could be risking yourself to the car breaking down or taking control on its own. Maybe even catching on fire. They mention putting cameras in the car to make sure are paying attention to the road instead of being on your phone texting or being distracted. If you are buying a driverless car wouldn't your intention of buying that car would be of not driving at all and enjoying the ride?
Also in paragraph 9, the question is mentioned of who will be responsible, in case of an accident, of the injuries of a person, the driver or the manfucaturer? In case of an accident this would be the real question. Who is responsible? The driver for buying the car? or the manufacturer for making it? | 2 |
There are rumors that aliens have made the face looking lanform on Mars, but they don't really know. Aliens did not make the face on Mars, we have no proof that even aliens exist. The landform could've been foemed when the planet was formed. The face is just a illusion from shadows, from how the planet is tilted towards the sun. NASA took photos of the supposibly face with a high-definition camera, that was more powerful then the one Viking 1 had. The face is just a lava dome that takes the form of a landform. If there was a airplane, hut, or a Egyptian-style pyramid we would be able to see it with no problem, and be able to make out what it is. NASA does wish that there was a ancient object on mars, so they can get information to find out how it was made, how long ago it was created, who made it, is anything living on Mars, and what was it made out of. | 1 |
The electoral college is viewed by the populace as a greedy snake who is suffocating the voters freedom and placing it in a slate of electors. According to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election over 60% of the voters would abolish the electoral college and put in a direct election. The system is set up to where you may recieve the most votes yet lose the election so much for a "democracy". Yet some people still argue that the electoral college isnt flawed and fairly represents everyone.
When one votes you are voting not for a president but for a slate of electors who then elect the president. These electors are not forced to vote for the cantidate you picked and in the past have not. Not only that but also the fact that the electoral college has the possibility for a tie (at that point the senate would elect the vice president) (state delegation would elect the president) this would completely abolish and not reflect the will of the voters. At its core the electroal college is unfair to the people it is a rigged winner-take-all system in each state since most candidates dont even take the time in the states they know they are going to win forsure or have no chance on winning. In the 2000 campaign 17 states didnt see the cantidates at all.
Some of the ludicrous claimes made by supporters of the electral college are that you avoid run off elections, the so called "certainty of outcome", and many other outlandish claims which always avoid all the bad the electoral college does and only focus on the so called "good". It is a fact the people prefer a direct vote, the electoral college is unfair, outdated and is holding us back from expressing our full right to vote. | 2 |
It a long time ago that a spacecraft discover Mars. there was a lot of things that the spacecraft found on Mars. Mars is a differnet planet away from here.
It was twenty five years ago. Thar Mars was discovered by a spacecraft it was going around Mars and found a shadow that looked like a human face and it was getting enormous. The head you could found was from two miles from end to end. The face on Mars is found in 41 degress north martian latitude and also it was winter.
A few days later there was a change that mars is becoming a pop icon. Scientist found out that it was a Martian mesa and that those shadows made it look like an Egyptain Pharaoh. The Martian mesa just not had a head it also had a mouth,eyes, and a nose like a real human will have. Since the spacecraft discover it. It came out in books,magazines, and radio talk shows. Some people say that there might be life on Mars. The author engage the public to know and attract attention to Mars. For this disover from the spacecraft and the scientist it was hard work to discover Mars Global. The lava dome that is form like a isolated mesa it is the same height as the Face on Mars.
So in conclusion there could be life on Mars what scientist and the spacecraft discover. It takes scientist and a spacecraft to find these things in Mars Global. it was hard work for the scientist to learn about the mesa and could there be life on Mars. | 0 |
In the article "unmasking the face on mars" people believe that the "face" was from a alien living on the planet mars. Garvin a NASA worker says that the picture shows is the Martain equivalent of a butte or Mesa. Garvin also says that these kinds of landforms are common around the American west. "It reminds me most of middle butte in the snake river plain of idaho says Garvin. In chapter 12 it says " That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on mars". Everyone are beliveing what every one else is saying accept nobody is listening to what the scentists are saying from NASA.
In paragraph 5 it says that some people think the face is a bonda fide evidence of life on mars evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorista. Meanwhile, defenders of NASA budget wish there was an ancident civilation on mars. Although few scientists believed the face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when mars global surveyor known as (MGS) arrived at the red planet in september 1997. Eighteen years after the Viking Missions ended. Most of the NASA scientists believe that these faces are not from aliens there from the earth. Scientists have done studies and research these things unlike other people so everyone should be listening to the Scientists instead of other people who don't know anything about these markings. | 1 |
Why would we need technology to tell us someones emotions when we know ourselves? No, I don't think that this is valuable because it is basically a machine that does an action that we can do ourselves. It also may not even be as acurate as scientist beleive. Another reason why I beleive that this invention isn't valuable is because I just find it really scary how exact the numbers are that the machine gives even if the numbers aren't correct and how much of interaction is happening between the face and the software.
The first reason that I beleive that this software isn't valuable is because we don't need a machine to do the job of reading expressions for us when we can do it just fine by ourselves. I know this because in the article they state," In fact, we humans perform this same impressive "calculation" everyday." This shows that we can indeed read emotions of people all by ourselves. I also know this because the text states," For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." This statement is completely true, I know that I can tell when people are upset even if they aren't my friends or someone that I know. Finally, I know this because the text states," Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, ect." This is true to a point because we may not be able to know when someone is feeling worried or frustrated but we know that something is wrong. That is not a bad thing when we don't know every expression on somoenes face becasue that gives us social experiences with other people to go and ask them what's wrong.
The second reason that I beleive that this software isn't valuable is because scientists may beleive that this technology is accurate but is it really? I know this because in the text it states,"Yet Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions." This right here shows that if the muscles of the face aren't showing enough muscle for an emotion the software might pick up a different emotion. I also know this because the text states that, "For example, your frontalis pars lateralis muscle(above your eyes) raises your eyebrows when you're suprised; your orbiculars oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger." I disagree with how they are training this software to recognize facial emotion because some people don't make a happy face when they are happy or a sad face when they are sad.
The last reason that I beleive that this software isn't valuable is because it is really creepy on how exact the number can get and how much interaction there is between the computer and the face. I know this because the text states,"She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." Wow, to me that is scary. I would never want this software to read my facial expressions. I also know this because the text states, " Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate." Why would people want computers to take over little everyday things that we do? This is creepy how much computers have weasled their way into our everyday lives so easily.
In conclusion, I beleive that this software isn't valuable because why would we use a machine to do something that we can do by ourselves? Also because the information being received from the software may not even be accurate. Finally, because the software is just really creepy and scary to think about how much human and machine interaction happens daily and how much much we rely on them. | 4 |
At first the Electoral College is a process of compromising between election of the president by a vote in congress and by popular votes from citizens. To my opinion I could favor this as a smart compromise.
Second it goes to show that when a president gets elected and wins by popular vote by only citizens is not a good idea. Reason is that people only vote for a certain president based on not their support or ideas for america, but based on their looks. When the Electoral College comes into play, Citizens vote for a slate to pledge a candidate. Then it depends on the state.
Finally when the electors who elected the president and not the people, the citizens votes goes into a good cause. When they agree to a final vote then that candidate gets the job.
In conclusion, I think the Electoral College is a good idea becuase when an idea strikes from a candidate ,and approved by congress. Then everybody wins the vote. | 1 |
Driverless cars could change the world. If we had cars that could do the driving for us, we could avoid wrecks and traffic jams. Googles driverless cars have drove over half a million miles without a single crash! Having driverless cabs would be amazing, especially if they took up less gas.
If we didnt have to worry about things like wrecks and traffic jams, life in cities could become much easier. Driving would become much more effecient if we didnt have to worry about human error. We could get to places much faster and safer.
The driverless cab idea would be amazing if we had the technology to do that. We need to be able to make driverless cars safer before being able to legalize them in the states. I'm sure in time that we will reach the technology. Once they are completely safe then there will be no reason for it to be illegal.
Being able to notify a driver in a sticky situation would be helpful as well. They could help us be more aware of our surroundings. Maybe they could even see blindspots.
Overall I think that driverless cars would be very usefull to us. It would make driving much safer, especially in crowded roads like cities. It could even make getting to places faster. Being able to see blindspots when driving could also help avoid many wrecks. | 1 |
Cars, though useful, have negitive impacts on the world. These effects can be seen from high density urban areas, and around the globe with gobal warming. Smog, greenhouse gasses, and stress are some of the main outputs from cars; they are a useful but dangerous tool.
Smog in urban areas are a global concern, causeing many cities to try to reduce the smog by putting restrictions on cars. It may be the ban of plates with even or odd numbers on certin days, or the ban of cars all together. The effect is staggering; citeis are becomeing more and more clean. Even America, the world leader in automobiles, is showing some want to reduce car transmitions in their cities. In some cities smog is a crippling thing. "[the smog] riavaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world." in Paris this was the case, and after banning cars on certin days, the smog began to clear up.
Greenhouse gasses are causing temeratures to become more extreme. Reduceing cars can help save dying ecosystems or dwindiling numbers of certin animals. Car free days in places like Bogota help reduce greenhosue gas, and it shows. people are driving less and less so "many socioiologist beleive ... [ people driving less ] will have a beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviornment"
Stress caused by cars is just as big as a problem as smog and pollution. People who switch to cities that are designed to not use cars say that they have reduced stress compared to when they had cars. "When I had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way." says a member of Vauban, a city desined with no cars in mind.
With all of this information wse might be able to help fix the world, by reducing the cause of the problem. Smog stress and Greenhouse gasses are on the decline thanks to less and less people driving. | 3 |
Driverless cars are benifitial for some people. Not all agree on the dvelopments of driverless cars. Now of days, there is not much to expect with new technology. The invention of highly technological cars are high tech and can help with many world problems. Here is an explantion for people that are for the development of these cars.
The driverless cars are very impressive and a good idea if people want better safety on the road. If there was to be any drunk drivers on the road, which should not be driving to begin with, people would want to stay away from that person for the benefits of their own safety. With the driverless cars, the driver that is antoxicated and the other drivers on the road, would all be able to get home safely. The only problem with the driverless car would be driver having to park on their own, as said in the passage. The second example for why driverless cars are great would be a mother driving with her infant. In case of any emergencies, the mother could trust the smart car on steering for one second while she grabbed something for her child. Some people would call it laziness, but it could be very benefitial for a parent.
Understandably, there are reasons why people are against the development for these smart cars. For instance, the smart car mentioned in the passage that BMW made in 2013, that could drive on its own a certain speed. While also only being able to drive when the drivers hands are on the steering wheel. It sounds like a useless product if it is a driverless car. Secondly, why people are against it, is because it sounds like laziness. High tech cars became more popular with sensors in the 1980's as said in the passage. Before, people could walk to their destination and stay healthy. Now there are cars that don't need a driver. Those are some reasons why people are against the development of driverless cars.
In the end, driverless cars can solve many problems in todays world. From drunk driving to helping passagengers, driverless cars can help a lot. Although people who do not want smart cars to develop more, have reasonable reasons why they don't support it, many do support it. It can help a lot with road safety. Concluding that there are good reasons for the development for driverless vehicles. | 2 |
Limiting car usage is a discrase. Why stop making cars when thats what we need the most in this world, with out a car we cant go no where. What they should do is cut down the price to a lower price cause not everyone in this world is a multi millioner. For example on paragraph 12 it says almost 4,000 drivers were fine,according to Reuters ... Twenty seven people had their cars imounded for their reactions to the fine, thats just crazy how they take cars away from people just because of their actions against the fine.
Thats easier to imagine than a car-free Champs Elysees. Congestion was down 60% in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog. Diesel fuel was blamed, sinced Franced has. . . a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up to 67% of vehicles in france, compared to a 53.3% average of diesel engnes in the rest of Western Europe, according to Reuters.
Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals... Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found.
The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday.
In a program thats set to spraed to other countries millions of Colombians hiked,biked skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffics.
It was the third year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permmitted for the Day with out cars in the capital city of 7 million. The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Vialators faced $25 fines. | 0 |
Venus a. k. a the Evening Star is one of the brightes planets when you look into the night sky. however it sometimes is accidently named wrong and Venus is simply easy to spot from earth but is more safe away from earth. It's sometimes often refered to as earth's "twin" because its the closes't planet to earth. some missions were unmanned because most of the spacecrafts never survived the landing for more nan a fiew hours the issue probably eplaines why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus for more than 3 decades numerous factors contribute to venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us. even though we are trying to get to Venus and make sure the spacecraft landed and survived it. it's gonna take a long time to get the suplies for that. astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth- like planet in the solar system. Long befor it Venus was probably covered largely with Oceans and clould have supported various forms of life just like earth. today Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth. | 0 |
Luke's point of view is he has 2 part time jobs in p1 they are a grocery store and a bank.
He also saw many countries in ruins.
There were 44 notions that joined together to help in p2.
He had to help take care of all the horses in p2.
Luke diddnt know his life would change so fast that he got a job in p1.
He had 2 part time jobs and his friend invited him to go to Europe but Luke knew he cuoldn't say no.
There were many countries in ruins in p2.
That diddn't have food supplies, and more in p2.
The countries that were left in ruins were in Europe and the month and year was August 1945 in p2.
It took 44 nations to help the countries get food supplies, and more back iin p2.
The nations formed the UNRRA (the United Nations Releif and Rehabilitation) in p2.
UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys to take care of all the horses in p2.
A Seagoing Cowboy was much than an adventure for Luke Bomberger in p9.
Being one opened the world to him in p9.
It made him more aware of people of other countries and their needs in p9.

The techology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotion is making Mona Lisa Smile.
Making Mona Lisa Smile is made for computer imagery, when making of Mona Lisa Smile, The students are finding the "computer construcs a 3-D computer model of the face." the model of the computer move like the human muscles. Also the computer are smart as the human as, and computer tells the true. when the student's finding how is becoming to found the computer 3-D. they sloved the model and the founded. And useful in the world.. when you use 3-D model is look real life you seeing. Is beautiful to look at the imagine on the comuputer or video imagery.
Body of 2, Because the computer useful and how can the computer must do it well. The computer knows your feel happy or feel sad. for example, when the proson did bad things, the police offcial used the computer and they will find you on the computer imagine. And the computer can being to ceek your bones; also the computer are so smart. it will knews everthing; for example, when people's visit the other counrtys, at the ariport when before you going throught, it might have like gate. the gate are put in computer, when you go throught that gate the computer cheek your bodys and inside of your bones; and it'll cheek your bags.
body of 3,for example, When you have eyes problem,the first they took the picture, on computer, your imagine will shows up your eyes problem; and the doctor will cheek your eyes with computer. The computer's would know how your eyes will gonna work and how much far you sees; or you need glass, it'll shows on the imagine computer.
when you eyes cheeks would lay dawn your chin and you look at the green light and everythings the computer know about your eyes. for example, When people went to takephotos store, with their family to take family picture. After they took family picture; the carmerman ask about Adding the photos. And their family choces background, a beautiful picture, and the camerman add imagine on the computer. For the other example, when the US soldier's to fight war with Isis, before US Army's will fight their bad guys US Army's used small ariplan it have carmer, the Army's look at the place on the computer. After they look at on the computer, the Army's knews how many Isis people are there. And US captian let's go his soldier. to fight bad guys..
incodue, The emotional computer class are work well. And helpful, useful and the computer will protect the country's or population. the computer are useful in everything. | 0 |
Cars arent bad....or are they? In the 1950's the U.S went though a time where Cars were everything. Our culture was about the new 1955 mustang or Camero, The new 1958 Mustang mach 1. The whole idea of cars and americans are one of the easly seen together thing like peanut butter and jelly. The thing is though cars lead to the second amount of pollutant in america right behind powerplants. This is bad for both the safety and enviroment of people, because gas emmissions lead to smog. Smog is a deadly mixture of carbon and fog, it is created when fog is settling in a city or area and then with carbon that is being released by cars they mix causing a deadly black toxic fog that can serously hurt peoples lungs when they breathe it in.
By limiting car usage, like for example the city of Vauban, Germany where city are prety much "car-free", you can still buy a car and have it but its pointless to do so because everything is by your house and if you need to pick up grocery or such its down the road. This makes people more happy as one women stated "when i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way". This lifestyle of a "car-free" Suburban life can reduce smog from happening in your area. Paris, France the city of love. it can also now be called the city of smog, it rivalled Beijing,China in the amount of smog in the air. Yes this was due to wethear and the combination of Diesel fuel. people of Paris found out first hand how bad smog can be for five days! It would be just a lot easier of having limiting car usage the advantages are ridoclaus, people are more happy, you dont have to worry about smog and in some countries you dont have to pay a tax or a fine of some sort. The advantages are great for many reasons they can help you out in your pocket and also with your health. Now who doesnt want to live like that?
I mean im sure there is more reasions on why limiting car usages is good for example less cars lead to car accidents, your insurance would be lower because of price and demand, better air quality, better health quality both pyshically and mentally from all the exrcising you have to do. i mean i understand the question when it said "must be based on ideas and informantion given" but these can also be reasons on why car free sub urban cities are good. Think about it you have a city with no pollutant and or cars are banned. There are cities like this all ready for example there is a town in Maine where the people banned all cars! People are on bikes just getting there stuff, and if you do happen go into this town with a car you are fined $320. Also when the car first came out did you know that it was a "green solution" to horses because horses pooped every where so it was considered more green to buy a car then a horse.
I'm just saying you should be able to bring out side information to this and i understand that you might be going this guy got a zero or what ever but lets be honest you probally didnt know that information. This information would helped give my fellow citizen a good reason why that limiting car usage is a good thing. who wants to be outside breathing in smog? When i can be riding my bike and not have to worry about A. Car insurance, B. Car accidents and C. getting into shape. | 2 |
It is hard to imagaine a world with no cars, but would living in a world with none actualy benifit us? Truth is cars are doing more damage then we think. Automobiles have been with us since the late 1800s and have become a very popular and efficient way to travel, but could having these peices of meatal harm us rather then benifit us? Many people believe so, In some countries such as Germany have banned the usage of automobiels. In Vauban, Germany residents have given up their cars to live there.
Vaban, German is a experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near French and Swiss borders. The streets of Vauban or completely "car free". In this city car ownership is allowed, but only for the coast of $40,000 along with buying the house that is a seperate payment. As a result of this coastly parking space nearly 70 percent of Vaubans families do not own cars, and 50 percent sold their cars to move to here.
Many people that are not familarized with this way of living would probraly considered this type of lifestyle to be difficult and unefficient but infact ressidents have stated that they are "much happier this way" and stating "when i had a car i was always tense". Automobiels are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some highly car intensive ares in the Uniteed States. Aother countries such as Paris have enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. The reasoing being for having a ban of cars is that the smog in Paris became so overwhelming that they where said to be able to compete gaints Bejin or China which are one of the most polluted cities in the world. Bogota, Colombia have also started a campagine in which they ban cars for one day and only allowing buses and taxies. The idea behinde this is to promote alternative transporation and reduce somg.
This has been going on for three years stright and and has statred to become popular and has influenced cities such Cali, and Valledupar to join in on the event. This campaigne started in the mid 1900s. The result of havingt his ar free day has made parks and sports centers bloom througthout the citiy, dysfunctional sidewalks have been replaced with smooth sidewalks, traffic has cut dramatically, and shopping districts have cropped up. Countries such as Germany, France, Colombia are not the only ones that have noticed and taken action for the green house gas emisiions. President Obama has gone on stating that since 2005 number of miles driven evey year sine then have gone down. Also the rates of car ownership per household and per person started to ome down two to three years before before the turndown. If these patterns persists many sociologit believe it will have a benificial ipmact for carbon emission and the enviornment. | 1 |
Dear State Senator, I am writting to inform you, that we need to change the fact that we have Ellectoral colleges and go to a popularity vote for presidancy. I feel that more people would vote if they new that their vote actualy made a difference. Instead of no one caring because of the winner takes all rule.
If the united states was to go to a popularity vote this would push millions of people to get up, out and vote because they know what the are doing is going to make a diffrence. According to Plumer "...over 60% of voters would perfer a direct election to the kind we have now." The fact is that voters cant always control whom their electors vote for. We don't want another 2000 fiasco on our hands again, since electors can directly defy the right of the people. Ellectoral collages are unfair, outdated, and irrational due to this fact by it's self.
The Ellectral colleges are non democratic in a way that when you vote for a presidential canidate you're really voting for a slate of electors. That slate of electors could vote directly aginst what you voted for and not lose a minute of sleep over it. According to Posner, "Romney was in the South, has no incentive t campiagn heavily in those states , for he gains no ellectoral votes.... the residance of the regions .. feel as if there votes dont count.. really isnt their president."By this the people meant that since the candiate dosent campaign there they feel as if they are disenfranchised.
For these reasons i think we should go to a Popularity vote for presidancy in the United Sates. I think it would make people feel more appritiated and more people would vote. This would also bring up the votes in total that would be cast. | 2 |
Driverless cars are quite a new invention. They can be both helpful and non helpful. Driverless cars are a scince break through. They put in a lot of hard work to get the car done and ready for the road. It will change the way we drive.
Driverlesss cars can only go about 25 miles per hour. They can only go that speed because that is a safe speed through neighborhoods and in school districts.
The driverless car has to have a human in the driver's seat at all times. It has to because if their is a wreck or road consturuction you can set the pace and stay safe. The car can not detect those that is why you have to take over.
Driverless cars are very safe to be in. They will get you from piont A to piont B in the safest way possible. As you see in paragrah 7 you have to be in the driver's seat and touching the wheel for it to work it is very good for people to use. It will really help with the elderly people for parking in hard conditions. The driverless car is a science break through and willchange the way we drive. | 1 |
Driverless cars are something that has always been in the minds of big
inventors such as Sergey Brin. However, much controversy comes with this specific topic. There are both negatives and postives to these driverless cars. But, I think that they are a good idea and could really impact our world for the better because, we already have some of the technology, it would be better for the environment, and it would be safer.
First, driverless cars are not a new idea. It might seem like a new idea, but in reality we are already half way there. We already have antilock breaks and sensors, plus Google has been having these driverless cars for years now. In the article it says, "In reality, Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009." It also states, "Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor." Not to mention the spinning sensor on the roof that constantly updates the car's surroundings. Sensors are nothing new though beacause, "In the 1980s, automakers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes." If we already have all this technology, why don't we just go the rest of the way and push harder to make independent cars a thing?
Secondly, it would be much safer and cleaner for the environment. Everyone talks about how we need to take care of the Earth and be cleaner, resulting in cleaner, more fuel efficient cars. With driverless cars, we would have the oppurtunity to cut down on gas and make the world a little bit more of a cleaner, safer place. This is because the cars, " would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." Sergey Brin, the Google cofounder says that, "He belives such cars would fundamentally change the world."
Finally, these driverless cars would be much safer than cars that are dependent on a driver all of the time. Of course there would still be risks and things that could go wrong safety wise, but I believe that we would all be safer with these independent cars. For example Google cars, "have driven more than half a million miles without a crash." There would be many many sensors on the car to make it safer and more aware of its surroundings like the 3-D scan on the top of the roof. Plus, the cars would have the ability to get the drivers attention when needed like vibrating the drivers seat, or flashing lights on the windshield. All of these things would go into making these independent cars safer than cars with a constant driver.
In conclusion, I do believe that driverless cars are the way to go. I think this because we already have so much of the technology to make them, it would be cleaner and safer for the environment, and it would be much safer than cars today. Plus how cool would it be to have a car that does most if not all of the driving? | 3 |
Venus is a dangerous planet, despite being called the "Evening Star", that scientists want to get more information about. Venus is the brightest "star" we see in the night sky, and tht's how it got it's nickname. This is caused by the extreme amount of heat that is being emitted into the atmosphere of space. The author suggests that Venus should be studied, decpite the dangers, because scientists believe it was once like Earth, NASA suggests having scientists floating above the fray, and NASA is trying to make technology for safer research, so that humanity can learn more about the solar system and find new dicoveries on other planets.
First and foremost, scientists belive this 800 degree planet once held life forms like the ones a person would see on Earth. In paragraph 4, the author states, "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." Then the author talks about the different types of rocks and land forms, as well as the fact that it's the "nearest option for a planetary visit." This explains how Venus could have once been like Earth at one point. Nasa has a couple interesting ways of seeing if these theories are fact or fiction.
Secondly, NASA is thinking of different ways to study Venus. In paragraph 5, the author proclaims, "Imagine a blimp-like vehical hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehical hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way." Soon, the author writes about the temperature and the pressure these people would have to deal with. This would show that NASA is thinking of sending scientists above the fray to observe Venus. If sending humans doesn't work out, technology will save the day, or research in this case.
Lastly, NASA wants to also try out technology to study Venus from a safe place, back on Earth. In paragraph 7, the author states, "Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexable, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme conditions. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." Earlier in the same paragraph, the author is putting that people have alredy tried to make some kind of technological device that can withstand the forces Venus throws at them. This shows that NASA is working on the technological approach to gain more knowledge of Venus.
All in all, Venus is a dangerous planet that scientists are curious to study and understand. The author believes it's a worthy pursuit, despite the inhospitable conditions because it's simular to the Earth, and NASA is trying to send people and technology up into space so they cay study the planet, so people can learn about the solar system and the planets. This is how great scientists are created, by studying the impossible. | 3 |
The article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" is about the present and future of driverless cars. In it the author presented both positive and negative aspectes of the driverless cars. After reading the article I am for driverless cars, because they will minimize the amount of accidents on the road and they could allow the "driver" of the car to be doing something other than driving the car.
In my first reason for saying that I was for driverless cars I said that they would reduce the amout of accidents on the road. I say this because in the article the author talks about how google have had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009 and they haven't crashed. This shows how safe the driverless cars are. If these cars were on the road over normal cars they would prevent the driver error accidents, in turn minimizing the amount of accidents.
My other reason for being for driverless cars is they would allow the "driver" of the car to be doing something other than driving. BMW has been working on this feature of the driverless cars. They use a headsup displays in the car the show a form of entertainment and information systems to entertain the diver. And sence the driverless cars still need some driver assistance the display instantly turns off when the driver is need. This feature is not in a normal car. If the driver was need and they were texting the phone wouldn't turn off, there for making the driverless cars safer.
I am for driverless car for the reason of "drivers" being able to something other than driving the car and driverless cars could minimize the amount of accidents on the road. | 2 |
I am against driverless cars. There are many problems that could come with these types of cars. If cars like these were produced so many things could enter into effect. I am against driverless cars becuase they can be very dangerous, the productions of the cars would cost alot of money,and there could be serious malfunctions.
One reason that i am against driverless cars is because of the serious safety issues. According to the passage it states that the human driver must stay alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires it. This could cause serious problems. If the driver falls asleep he/she might not hear or feel any alerts. This then could turn into a crash when for example a work zone or a accident appoaches. So many people could be injured.
Secondly, Im against driverless cars because of the cost. These cars will result in spending billons of dollars. What would happen to all of the regular cars? Will they just get thrown away? Throwing away millons of cars would result in mlillons of dollars going in the trash. Can you just add the nessecary parts to make it driverless? If that could happen it would save money, but you would still have to buy the correct parts. What about the cars from the 80's or even the 90's would these cars have the correct parts to make them driverless; If not there goes thousands of dollars going down the drain. Producing the cars would cause serious debt.
Lastly, driverless cars could have serious malfunctions. These cars rely on electricty to keep them going. Say for example we have a serious power outage;think of how many crashes could happen if thousands of cars stopped in the middle of a busy highway. Also think about it electricty and water do not mix; so what happens when it rains or when it snows are the cars still protected. Many malfunctions can occur due to the car having to run off of energy.
So when i hear the words " driverless cars". An large some of problems come to my mind. I Think of the many problems that come with it, the lack of saftey, the amount of money spent and wasted and the crazy malfunctions. These are just a few reasons why I am against driverless cars. | 2 |
Have you ever hurd are know about are solar system and whats all in it ? Are solar system is made up of alot of things such ass oher planets ,stars ,l arg rocks,and different galexys . Out of all the plantes Earth is the 3rd planet away from the sun .
Venus has its ups and downs and what I mean about this is that venus has good reasons why people shold go study it . Some bad reasons is that Are planets traval at different speeds .
And on previous mission no spacecraft have ever survived on the planet for more than a few hours . Something else that is very bad for you is that its atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide and on the surface of the planet temperature reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit . Some good things about Venus is that it is cloest planet to Earth in terms of density and size and sometimes close in distance .
just like how earth is now Venus was once coverd largely with oceans and could have supported life forms .
Also Venus had a surace that is rocky sediment with valleys mountains and craters .
In conclusion Venus has its ups and downs but I do believe that it is worth studing despite the dangers that come with it . Also i do believe that we should send spacesrafts up there what are mre durable then the other ones that was sent there a long time ago because of the new tecnology that we have . I think that its possable that we could come up with more samples of different items . | 1 |
Wow! Technology is really going far. New computer software that can recognize six basic emotions, such as happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. The latest innovation from prof. 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscels in the model moves like human muscels. FACS (Facial Action Coding System), Imagine how much this could help you out.....
The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because this could help for many reasons. As it says in the article "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored", Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."
"Imagine a computer that knows when you're happy or sad." If a computer knows when you're happy or sad that means it could help you out. For example say your sad when you log-in to your computer,the computer can post happy adds or funny things can just pop up to make you feel better.
A computer that can make you happy when your sad, it's like having a pet or a bestfriend. It's like it knows your personality and your feelings. For example if your getting frusrated while taking a test, the computer will help you out by posting happy things to get you back on task. It knows your emotions which means it knows what will and what won't help you.
This would really be nice for those who gets angry quick, or gets frustrated while doing work on a computer. Even while using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks the facial movements.
This computer could be used for breaks, like if your in class having a hard time. The teacher could say "have some time on your computer." When you log-in it'll already know your emotions so it'll help you get back on track. It could post anything just to get you smiling and ready to work again. This would be helpful for alot of students.
Computer software that can recognize six basic emotions, such as happiness, surprise, anger, disgust and sadness. Then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscels. The latest innovation from prof. 3-D computer model of the face ;all 44 major muscels in the model moves like human muscels. FACS (Facial Action Coding System), Recognizes when a student is becoming confused or bored, can modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor, tracks emotions. I think this would be very valuable for everyone not just students. IT's alot of people that needs things like this to get through the day. | 2 |
Imagine being able to detect what other people are feeling? She's 83 % happy,9% disgusted,6% fearful and 2% angry. How does this computer tell all this information if this painting was painted hundred of years ago?
I think it would be a great idea to tell how people are feeling. Because someone might be having a bad day and you might not know, but if you could read facial expressions you would know. This computer than could tell you how Mona Lisa was feeling is a 3-D constructer computer. In oreder for it to detect a painting,Picture, or even an actual person's face Right now it has to have all 44 muscle movements of a human. the only thing i'd change about this experiment is instead of making everything nowadays computerized and robotic why dont we do this with paper and pencil, collect data and figure it out,if it doesn't work on the first try then change your hypothnose and do the experiment all over again.
My final conclusion is that decoding people's facial expressions is pretty neat. It gives us a look at the past and present day of people's reactions and expressions. They also told us how to look in the mirror and dot eh 3 steps by yourself and see if you can decode your own facial expression. This article was pretty interesting and I would like to look forward in more details about this. | 1 |
"Driverless Cars Are Coming" is an article about the positives and negatives of driverless cars. It was a very interesting topic, one of the best i've read on an Istep test. It was about how we could be seeing drverless cars in the near future. It talked about how they've tested out many options from magnets to electrical rods. The article gave facts and didn't shy from what the issues were. Now I'm going to express my opinon on the topic.
My view on driverless cars is not a set voice. I agree with their concepts and the test ran but i don't agree with how fast they're trying to market it. It's only been sixteen years since we've gotten computers and only about eight or nine since we got modern computers. The touchscreen phone is fairly new and they have these "Hoverboards" which are just segways without handles. I guess what I'm trying to say is there's no reason to jump to something so big if we don't understand what we have yet. I don't doubt we will have self driving cars i just doubt it'll be so soon.
I see self drving cars as something we should pursuit. I just don't think it should be a main part of our advances in technology. There's so many things we can be doing other then creating this. We should finish finding ourselves before we start building technology that doesn't need us. with all this "machine doing" stuff we'll just be sitting at home while the bots do everything. Thats no a world i want to live in. A world where everyone looks to machines to do their work. | 1 |
Do you think it was made by an alien or is it a natural landform? Many people have different opinions some say aliens created it, but others say that is a natural thing. In my opinion I think that it's a natural landform. I have 3 examples, first when the camera captured the picture it wasen't clear enough because there were wispy clouds. Second in the artical it said "it spotted shadowy likeness of a human face". Third the artical aslo said "formed by shadows giving the illusison of eyes, nose, and mouth.
First the camera captured the picture, but it wasen't clear enough because when they captured the picture there were wispy cloud which can make it hard to take a picture or to see the picture. This example shows that they might of seen something else such as the face ,but it could be wrong because they captured the picture when there was wispy clouds.
Second in the artical it said "it spotted shadowy likeness of a human face" which can mean that when the picture was captured the camera could have of captured some shadows to which can create an illusion of a face when in reality it could be the showdows. This example shows that the camera captured the shadows which can create and illusion of a face.
Third in the artical it also said that "formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. This can mean that people see it in many way's. the picture creates an illusion that can make you think that it's a face with eyes, nose, and mouth. This example shows that the picture wasn't taken right which can cause an illusion, many people see a face, but that's because the picture creates an illusion of a face.
In conclusion many people have different opinions some say aliens created it, but say is a natural landform. Some people may have counter calims first counter claim is why would NASA lie to us. Second counter claim is that the picture showed a face so it is a face. Third counter claim is that they had a good camera so if it shows it then it is a face. My rebuttals would be that NASA is not lieing about the pictures. Second the picture might create an illusion that makes you think it's a face. Third not all cameras show exactly what you want to take a picture of these are my counter claims and rebuttals and also my example and explanantions. | 2 |
Exploring Venus some people think that we should explore Venus because Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of Density and size and the closest in distance too. Some people call it the ''Evening Star,'' and is one of the brightest point in the night and even a simple person stargazer can spot it. Also, in our solar system Venus is the second planet from our sun. Since, Venus is simple to see from the distant and safe it has proved to be a very challenging place to examine more closely.
Earth, Venus, and Mars is our other planetary neighbor, and orbits the sun at different speeds.The difference in speed mean it that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus. Venus is sometimes closer in space terms humans hace sent multiple spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world.
Scientists are even discussing further visits to its surface. Astronomers are amazed by Venus because it has once been the mos earth-like planet in our solar system. While ago Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and may have supported various forms of life.To this day Venus still has some features that are probably analogous to those on earth. Venus has a surface of rocky sediment and includes famaliar features such as valleys, mountains,and craters.
NASA is planning on working in other ways to study venus in parapgraph it states there ideas " For exmple some simplified electroncis 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 condition''.Also they have another idea of using old technology in parapgraph 7 '' Another project is looking back to an old technology called computers these devices were first envisoned in the 1800s and played an important role the 1940s during world war two''. The thrill challenges by Venus has value not only the insight to be gained on the plante itself but also human curiosity.
Venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of the density and size and some people call it the evening star and brightest in the night sky. Scientist want to explore on Venus and have curiosity whats on the planet Venus .Also scientist have other ways to explore and find out about the planet Venus. | 0 |
