Using the technology in class would be valuable in classrooms. Using the new technology can help students stay focused or help them become more interested in school. The technology can also make the class more interesting if it picks up that the person is bored or whatever the case might be. This technology can change the way students think about school.
In the 6th paragraph it says "A classroom computer can recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." This quote shows that this technology could change the way students interact with school and change their feelings about school. If the student is bored the computer will pick up on it nd make the assignment something more interesting which will change their mood into happy. If the student is becoming confused the computer wil pick up on that and will try to make it more easier and/or explain it in a more simplier way.
In conclusion, the technology would be a good idea because it could make assignments on computers more easier to understand. It could possibly improve students grades if it knows what to do to make it easier on the student. Lastly, it could possibly get students to want to be more invloved in school and participate in the lesson more. | 2 |
Mars hasn't stayed the same over the years. Mars has changed a lot over the years. And Mars (aka. the red plant) will continue to changed until the end of time.
While we were observing Mars on 1976 with Viking 1 we seen a figure that looked like a human face and that strected 2 miles from end to end. At the Jet Propulsion Lab there had to be a great deal of suprise. Peole started to imidiately think this was created by aliens. That was still to be figured out.
Over the next 25 years scientists studied Mars to determine if this was created by aliens or its just a natural landform. Scientist have been using many different spacecrafts to better understand the "face". The picture of mars had become a pop icon. its was in a hollywood film, in magazines and books.
Mission Controllers prepared to look again. "it's not easy to target Cydonia," says Garvin. "in fact, it's hard work." Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on A JPL website, revealing a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. | 0 |
Have you ever heard of a driverless car? Well Google has had some cars that can drive themselves since 2009. The cars they made have drove more than half a million miles without crashing. The driver still has to back out the driveways and go around traffic issues like other car crashes or roadblocks, but other than that the car will drive on its own. I think these cars would be useful when the driver wouldn't feel like driving.
First off, I think these cars would be useful because what if you don't feel like driving and you don't have anybody with you that can drive the driverless car would be perfect to have in that kind of situation. Yes sometimes the driver would want to drive so thats why they have a heads-up display. When thats turned off the driver would be in control until they turn it back on. Another reason why a driver would want a driverless car is because what if the driver wants to text a person back and they can't use one hand to type they could make the car drive itself so they could that. So that's why some drivers would want to have a driveless car sometimes.
Yes the driverless car would be useful when the driver wouldn't feel like driving. However the car could still crash if your not paying good attention to it and also the law could see that your hands isn't on the wheel. Another reason is that there could be an accident with the driverless car and the law wouldn't know who to blame the driver or the car manufacturer. | 1 |
Foremost, the electoral college is a process used for selecting a president through the popular vote of qualified respesenators. The electoral college was established by our founding fathers, and still benefits us today. Using trusted representatives and efficently casting the desired vote, the electoral college is the best method of selecting a president. The electoral college allows the country to be sure of an outcome, and no one region can elect a president on its own.
Electoral votes are cast by electors chosen to represent each state, these electors are "...trusted to vote for the party's nominee...", stated Richard Posner. This means that electors are trusted and qualified to efficiently represent the vote their state desires. The trust set upon electors is "rarely betrayed" Posner said. The last time an election was won by someone who didn't get the popular vote was in 2000, and this doesn't happen often. This is contrary to what was said by Bradford Plumer. Plumer stated "The American people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse."
The electoral college gives America certainty of an outcome, without a tie, or a run-off election. The ability to rest easy knowing there will be a clear winner is an ability given to America, by the system of electoral votes. A tie occurance in an election is "Highly unlikely..." Posner said. Even though most states use a "Winner-take all" basis, ties and run-off elections are still extremely rare and unlikely.
Swing states- a debated and popular issue amog the electoral college. Swing states are often paid more attention and given more information than regular states. While being paid more attention, the swing states together are able to determine the election's outcome. Though small states don't get much attention, they still have a say in the election. | 2 |
Dear,
Mr. Senator
I am a student at SCHOOL_NAME, and in my opinion we should change to election by popular vote for the president of the United Stastes. Thats my opinon because you would know excacly how many people actually picked the president of the united states. Some people might make a mistake and pick somebody they don't want so if you do it by paper, and give people what the president will do for us peolpe might make the right choise.
So if you really feel the need of taking down the collage go ahead and do it. It will be better and in the future we can make another one and make it bigger and better then the one we have right know. It might hurt some people I know that, but once we get the new one they won't be so dissaponited because you got ridd of the old one. So make a good choise. Most people say "but it is like a home to me" they might be saying that because thats what everybody says so take that one down and build a bigger and better one then the one we have today.
I know there is the bigger states but you can always split it boys one one side and all the girls on the other .
Look at obama he was suppose to make are country a better place but he is making it worse. so maby if we get a look at them and they tell us what they are going to do right in front of us we might pick a president that is acually going to do what he says, and not make our school lunch so horribale and so little. I'm not tring to be mean to Mr. Obama but he said he was going to make change we all thought it was going to be good change but NO he is making the biggest mistakes. I know we wall make mistakes but he said he was going to make change and so far he is making bad changes.
I'm not saing he is bad president but he said he was going to make change i just wish it was good and not bad. I have lived in the united states all my life and I have never seen this much bad change. I hear alot of bad stuff like world war 3 going to happen and i think to my self and think is this whta the world has came to.
So let's make the good choise and lets get ridd of that collage.
With all do respect,

Imagine you are doing school work and it gets boring. what if there was a way that your doing a lesson and your confused and it is boring and the computer see's you're emotions and changes what your doing or gives you help on a problem. Just by looking at your muscles in your face this softwear can see things like that.So yes i think its a great thing to have in the classroom. Students might not fall asleep in class or if a student needs help the teacher wouldnt have to.
I think its a great idea because it would be very helpful for the teachers and the students. Okay, lets say a student is feeling sad and having suicidal thoughts or there getting bullied but everyone thinks there happy. The administration could use the coding system to identify if anything is wrong and help the student. It could turn a lot of things that could be bad into good and help students in schools.
I also think its a good idea because the teachers can use it on kids that are confused as stated in the article. Lets say there is a student doing an online lesson and they get confused but the teacher is busy and the computer reconizes them struggling and helps them. It could save a lot of time and even help students pass classes without trouble.
There are a lot of schools that could use computer programs like this one and i think its a great idea to introduce this one into schools. It could be very helpful to everyone so i agree that it could be very useful. | 2 |
The Face of Mars
What if the Face on Mars was actually created by aliens? How would have the world reacted? Well we wouldn't know. The face on mars is actually a mesa that happens to be shaped like a face. We know that the face on mars was not created by aliens because there are no signs of life, as far as NASA knows there is no life on mars, the Face of mars is just a mesa, but if the Face was created by aliens we would be able to see symbols and signs but all you can see are just small vallys and ridges. Aliens did not build the face on mars.
As far as we know there is no visible life on mars. The reason for this is because mars is inhabitable. The conditions are mars are to harsh for any living organism to be able to live. There have been many expiditons by rovers that have roamed the red planet for years and still have not seen any forms of life. The author states, "There was no alien monument after all." With all this it would be almost impossible for a life form to be able to live on Mars.
Eventhough there is no visible life on Mars there has never been a sign of life ever being on Mars. Again with all the probes and missions to Mars there has never been a one-hundred percent fact that there has been life on Mars. The Mars rovers have taken over 100 samples and still have found no signs of life ever being on the planet. When the author quotes Jim Garvin, We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it. The reason for this is because the planet has no life on it and if the only exciting thing that the scientists at nasa could find was just a mesa that looks like a face.
All in all this is not a creation made by aliens it is a mesa on the Red Planet Mars. NASA has released facts about why this wonder of mars is just a normal natural landform. Nevertheless, on April 8, 2001a cloudless summer day in CydoniaMars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view, said Garvin.", the author also gives us this peice of information, "Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." With this all being said with the high resoloution picture and the quote from the scientist at NASA you can say for sure the Face is a natural land form.
Although some people might say this is not a natural land form. They might say that it is a alien artifact left by some martians or some garbage like that. Some people dont under stand that crazy land forms canjus occur naturaly. The author gives the reader a wonderful example of this on our own planet, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, says Garvin. Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. So if we on earth believe that the mesas in the American West can be made by the earth doing what it does why cant Mars make its own land forms.
The face of mars is just a natural land form in one of Mars's mesas. There are no signs of life on mars, There have never been any signs of life on mars, and the Face of mars is just a cool looking formation made by a mesa biome. So what will you be doing accepting that the Face of Mars or looking to every little nook and cranny of the web of lies called the internet to find out what the real truth is about the Face of Mars. | 4 |
To whom it may concern,
I, PROPER_NAME, think it is best to keep the electoral colles, but here is why. Some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the consititution is restored. The candiate must have trans regional appleal, meaning he/she must be all for each region & not just one, (South, Northeastern, etc.). From this the residents of the other region are likelt to feel disfranchised-- to feel like their votes do not count, and that with no regard for their interests, the president is not really the president.
As a citizen I would say that if the president, only did what half of the regions had said, then I would not be satisfied with what he is doing. When you go into office, you go into office for everyone, not just one region, but ALL regions. Wether or not the president haave a trans-appeal, each region does not have enough electoral votes to elect a president on their own anyway. Some say the electoral college is unfair. outdated, irrational, because they favor most daily assertions without much basis in reality. However the lectoral college, can be unfair. Most arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much base reality.
To feel as if the president is not on your side, i dont imagine that being any fun, that to me would be like rewarding one child and not the other for the same action. We all are equal, wether by race, color, or age. We are all human, and we demand to be treated equal, if we dont get equal, keep trying until you do. Its always too early to give up. Always push yourself to high extents just like these canidates and maybe one day it will be you standing up for the majority vote, only hoping that the voters do not pick favorites, off of location. Before you decide make sure you know who youre voting for, and that there is a chance, that folur years from now, they could be re elected again, so please, put some thought into our society, and what social conflict does to us! America hass been torn apart because, of beliefs, religion, and democracies, and possibly is still suffering from all of these things, as i sit here and type this. There is a while world out there beyond those builded lines. Why did you pick thosae lines in the first place. | 1 |
Driverless cars are good and bad for us human beings. Here are three good reasons and three bad reasons. Three goood reasons are: the person in the car desnt have to worry about driving, the person in the car doesnt have to worry about texting and driving, and also the seats vibrate whenever the car is in reverse or vibrates to let you know your about to hit something. Three bad reasons are: the cars can malfunction and cause serious damage to the car and the person in it, the brakes can automatically stop working and cause serious damage to the car and the person in it, and in the passage it did not say whether the car had a GPS system or not so how would the car know where were going.
I am with the Driverless Cars because we dont have to pay any money for them It's like a taxi. They let us know when were to close to another car when backing up, they accelerate, steer, and brake themselves. It also saves fuel.
I am not with the Driverless Cars because they can easily malfunction and put a adult/child in danger. It doesnt have a childs lock for children under 7, the brakes can easily be tampered with and stop working automatically, so therefore if the brakes were to be tampered with and the car was still going it could put an adult/child in serious danger.
But then again if i am with the Driverless cars I just hope the patrons in the car are safe and enjoy their ride. | 1 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author suggests that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author does mention "a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus. There are many challenge's to studying venus. "On the planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit. " The author mentions challenges that we face in order to study venus. The author states "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." While they are many challenges that scientists, and that people may face, Venus is worthy of being studied. Nasa's possible solution to thhe hostile conditions on the surface on Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. They are many ways Venus can be studied, with NASA's solution , we are closer to discovering the many secrets of venus. Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | 1 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author believes that studying Venus is worth the unknown dangers that could be present. However, for scientists to actually understand and learn more about the planet, it is important that somebody willfully agrees to take the expedition.
In paragraph 3, the author speaks about the many difficulties a spacecraft must endure in order to reach the planet. He says, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus.". He also states that, "On the planets surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." These conditions are much more extreme than anything humans would experience on Earth. The author even talks about how a submarine that dives the deepest depths of the sea, would be crushed by the enviroment.
Although Venus is home to some of the most severly dangerous conditions, still, the planet has some traits in common with Earth. The planet has similar features such as; valleys, mountains, craters, and a rocky sediment surface. Knowing that Venus has such familiar characteristics, makes the idea of traveling there much more possible. NASA has ideas to make the journey scientifically productive, yet safe. In paragraph 5, the author says, "NASAs 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.". This allows scientists to get a good look at what is happening on the planet without having to endure the harsh conditions at the surface.
While this seems like a good loop hole to the dangerous climate, scientists would only be able to observe limited findings. They found that classic videography and photography from such a great distance would not do the planet's true form justice; nor would the explorers be able to take rock samples, gas, or anything else from this distance. For this reason, NASA is working on new ideas to get even closer while still keeping safe. In the 6th paragraph, the author states that, "Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.".
Despite the dangers this type of expedition is capable of, Scientists should not be held back. It is important that explorers successfully make a pruductive voyage. As the author says in paragraph 8, "human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." Society should never give up because a situation seems impossible. In life, if there is an opportunity to help expand the minds of mankind, it should be done no matter the risks involved. | 3 |
Being a Seagoing Cow is great way to get to know and see more things about other countries. In this draft I will talk about why you should become a Seagoing Cowboy. When you become a Seagoing Cowboy you are helping others and at the same time you are having fun. When you arrive at your destination you are not only delivering goods but you are seeing many amazing buildings, landmarks, statues, and more.
Being a seagoing cowboy is hard work but it is for the greater good, as in helping others during World War Two. A way to start can be by getting offered by a friend or offering a friend. After the War, people in different countries needed supplies, and fast, so a Seagoing Cowboy could get the jobs done. Making the world a better place is a good thing to do. Plus when you do so you feel good that you have done something that has helped others.
When you are done dropping off your load you have a lot of extra time on the way back so you can play games like table tennis, baseball, volleyball, fensing, boxing, reading, whittling, and other games to pass the time. Traveling all around the world can show you that a lot of countries are in need of food and help.
It will take a while to cross the sea to where you are going, and if you have animals on the ship you have to feed almost all animals two or three times a day. Ypu have to be up for the hard work of cleaning animal stalls, feeding animals, night shift watching, and more.
I hope you want to become a Seagoing Cowboy, and enjoyed the draft. That's what I have to say about becoming a Seagoing Cowboy and why you should become one. | 2 |
the author is looking for the study of Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers,"A thick atmosphere of most 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets." Venus atmosphere on the planets surfac temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit,and atmosphere pressure is 90 times great than what our planet has but our planet has more humans enater. Venus and Mars ,our other planetary neighbor venus was covered with largely oceans long ago could have supported various forms of life ust like Earth. Today still has some features are anologous to those on earth, sending humans to study Venus NASA'S working on other approaches to studing venus in the 1800's played an important role in the 1940s during worlde war ll. struving to meet challenge presented by venus has value not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet because human will likely lead us into intimidating endearers. Our travels doubts meet the edges so we can say when we et older in life on old can say i been in space to see venus. | 0 |
Have you ever wondered about how cars would be upgraded ? Just like phones are being upgraded each year, becoming greater that people love it. After reading the article of "Driverless Cars Are Coming", I do not think that upgrading our cars in the future would be nessary for people. The reason why is because it could have a negative impact on us. It can also cause death, change of law , and change of rules the way people are driving.
In paragraph 1, Sergery Brin says that he envisions a future where there would be public transportation system where fleets of driverless cars form a public tranport taxi system. He also says that the car would use half a fuel of todays taxis and would offer more flexibility than a bus.He believes thats such cars would fundamentally change the world. But as for me, I do not believe that it will change the world. People will face consequence, death, and danger if cars like this are invented.
In paragraph 7, it says that cars are designed to notify drivers when the road ahead of us requires human skills, suck as navigating through work zones and around accident. If the car was invented,how would we be able to turn away from accidents and work zone? If something happened while inside the car, we would just be dead.Inventing this car will bring death,
desruption and war to the world.
People do not want desruption,death, and war, they want peace and if this car is invented we will have to face danger.
In paragraph 8, it says that in-car system is actually a safety feature and that safety is a big concern. If the car is invented there won't be any safety. The reason why is if there were no stop light, and signs how are we going to know what the rules are?To change the rule and the law , the goverment would have to change everything that they have worked on for many years.They would have to make new rules and new laws.It will just bring choas to the goverment and to the people.
In conclusion, having a car being invented without a driver would be a bad idea for the future. The reason why is because it could cause death, consequence,change, and desruption to the people and to the world.The cars will not secured us, or give us safety, it will danger us and kill us.We should be happy right now with all the rules and the laws because it keeps us safe from dieing and accidents.People will died twice more than people dieing now.Inventing the car is a bad choice for everyone. | 3 |
The artical called "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is about scintest wanting to know more abour the planet called venius. The artical gets in to facts and other things that talk abou not only venus but also space. They get in to detail ans tell the reader that some refurr to it as earths twin. This passages give us a little more in tell iabout space and more. Although the passage tralks about space the main purpose of the whole thing is to inform people about the intersting planet called venus.
When reading more into the passege readers can find that it is giving us more information on space and on the planet venus. It tells readers about what the planet is made up of and how it is on the planet we know was venus. Some cool things that are mentioned are that on the planet there are erupting valcanoes as well as powerful earthquakes and very frequent lighting strikes. even though scinentists know how dangours the planet can be they still want to find out more about it. their drive to do is because they are fascinated by how venus might have been like earth at one point.
Leading on from that topic it is belived that venus was covered with oceans and could have living creatures on it. The passege goes on and compairs many things that venus and earth have in commen. This is verey intersing because it is kind hard to belive that venus once had living things and was just like earth. it could be posible that at one point in was like that but because now its full of horried things like the valcanos and powerful earthquakes. It would be very fasanating to see if venus was at one point like earth but then again thats what they also say about mars .
All in all the passege is a great and informtive read. It gives readers very good point on the topic of venus and space. The last couple of topics that it brings up is nasa sending a device to go up there and see whats going on. the artical ends with the drive to meet the challege presented by Venus. Not only because of the isight on the gain of the plant but because people need to know what is or what was once on there. | 2 |
I believe that the use of this technology would be valuable to use in a classroom full of students. I believe this because instructors must know what their students emotions are like toward the subject being taught. For example, let's say a students emotion is bored, the taecher would then know what his students emotion is like. The instructor may be able to give a 2 to 5 minute survey to his students based on what he can do to improve his teaching skills. Which would therefor give his students a better environment to work.
The prompt explained a somewhat new computer software that could recognize emotions. It explains what the software can do and how it works. 'The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like a human muscle. Movement of one or more muscle is called an "action unit."'(D'Alto), this quote talks about how it reads ones face emotion. Which brings us to a students emotion and how its read. This is where it is valuable, 'But if you frown, the next ad will be different. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming counfused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human insstructor.'(D'Alto). This is where it is valuable this software, it will be able to tell an instructor their students emotion toward the subject and how they'll be able to improve/modify the lesson.
With this software many instructors would be able to improve on their lessons. Thanks to Prof. Thomas Huang and his colleage many students would be able to focus on their lesson and not be bored again. This is why I believe this technology would be a valuable use in a classroom full of students. | 2 |
Auto mobiles have become a major aspect of the everyday life of citezens all around the world. because of this growing use there are many disadvantages that come along with this over use. Many have come to the conclusion to limit automotive uses. Limiting car use has many advantages, it lowers air pollution,takes away stress and saves money.
Many places all over the world have begun this change. Places such as Vauban, Germany have given up the use of cars. Seventy percent of residents do not own a car, and fifty seven percent sold their car to move in to this community. They use a system call "smart planning" which seperates suburban life from automotive. Now instead of cars they walk, and bike to get to their destination. Here they made homes and the city as a whole, much closer together. Vauban residents the whole 5,500 of them are all in a rectangular square mile, making it easier to get from place to place with out a car. Also Paris has limited car ussage. after days of near-record pollution Paris decided to enforce A ban on driving. One day all even numbered lincense plates were told to leave cars at home to lower car pollution, if not they were to pay a fine. It was said in a five day period that traffic was down sixty percent. In Bogota, Colombia they have a day in the year that is car-free, millions are included in this day. This has gone oon for three years and is growing in size, many other cities have joined in on this car-free day. In the United States the president has tried to curb the greenhouse gas emission. Many citizens in the U.S. have grown with cars and have a growing admiaration for motive vehicles.
Giving up cars or lowering car ussage helps decrease our recent rise in air pollution since the out break in the early twentith century. In France there was a sixty percent drop of congestion in just a span of five car limiting days. Also it is a stress reliver! many say that when you give up a car you are less stressed about the traffic and it is nice to just walk to your destination.
Giving up are cars is a money saver! cars are a black hole that you just feed money into. we have to pay for gasoline every week or so and then we have fines and tickets. In Vauban, Germany residents have to pay for a parking spot to leave their car at and that parking spot does not come cheap. One parking spot costs 40,000 dollars on top of a payment for a house and other nessesities.
Although a car may get to from place to place very quickly, it is very harmful to the enviornment. With cars you bring stress, air pollution and debt. but all of that could go away if you follow those who are taking a step to reduce car use or even cut use of it completly. | 2 |
You may think that the Face on Mars was created by aliens. That is not true. The Face is just a natural ladform. There is a lot of evidence to support my argument. Like it is simply just a mesa, the photo Malin took, and there are many similar landforms around the American West. Certainly it wasn't created by aliens!
It is just a mesa. First, Martian mesas were common. They were very common around Cydonia as said in the article. Second, it did look like a face. That is because of the unusual shadows that formed to look kind of like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Third, it gives an illusion. The illusion is of eyes, a nose, and a mouth. These are the reasons that shows that the Face is a Martian mesa.
Michael Malin's photo shows that it is a landform. First, Malin's photo was taken ten times sharper. It lets it have a more clear image. Second, people think that the alien markings were hidden by haze. Though on the second picture it still doesn't show any sign of alien markings. Third, on April 8, 2001 another photo was taken. That day it was a cloudless summer day. Malin's tame captured a fantastic photo. It still didn't show that the Face was created by aliens. The photos that Malin and his team took were very useful.
It is similar to the world in a way. Using photos of the Face they would be able to see if there was any sign of life. Like small homes, or shacks. Second, it is defenitly equivalent to a butte or mesa. There is so much information to prove that. Third, it has landforms in common around the American West. Gavin stated 'It remids me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. It is similar in a way to America.
Now you know the reasons why the Face on Mars was not created by aliens. There is so mush evidence to prove it. Like my examples which are it is actually a mesa, Michael's photo shows no signs of aliens markings or their homes, and the Face is similar to some landforms in the American West. There is a lot more evidence to prove that the Face on Mars is not a creation by aliens, but a normal Martian landform. | 3 |
The year is 2041, and astronaut Jeff Goudard has just landed in the region of Cydonia. He is extremly exited becouse he will be the first human to see the only alien artifact known to man. As soon as he lands, he sees the face. Jeff's jaw drops practically to his feet. He relizes the "Face on Mars" is really just a plain old mesa, just like the ones out in the American West. Now just like this astronaut, there are probably hundreds of people that think that the "Face on Mars" is some sort of alien monuent, but in reality science and logical thinking has proven that in reality, the "Face on Mars" is really just a Mesa almost identical to the ones found out in the American West.
First off is the logical thinking portion. In the region of Cydonia mesas are incredibly common.
Now this particular mesas is oddly shapped, I will give it that, but it is just a mesa. What gives it human fetures is just the shadows. Just look at 1976 Viking one photograph. You can clearly see shadows Just look slightly below it, you can see a long shadow protruding from the mesa. Now on the flip side, look at the picture captured on 1998 when it was cloudy out and there were no shadows at all. The image just makes it look like a weird rock, not like a human face at all.
While still on the topic of the photographs, the one snapped on 2001 also proves that the so called "Face on Mars" is really just a mesa becouse of not the actual formation, but the surronding area. It was taken by a very high quality camera. In fact, it's pixles spanned 1.56 meters whereas the best Viking photograph the pixles spanned 43 meters. That ment that you could zoom in around the area of the mesa to scan if there was any other evidence of alien life. So scienteists and analysts could scan the sourrounding area for pyramids or buildings, but they found absolutly nothing that would sugest that aliens are present in the region.
Lastly, lets all say that the so called face really was an ancient alien structure, why would NASA keep it a secret. I mean, NASA is really short on funding, but if it was proven that there was aliens on Mars, then that would mean NASA funding probaly would go through the roof. What better goal could NASA have then to make conatact with extratrestrialls. This must mean that the "Face on Mars" is just another mesa. What organization would pass up the opprotunity to get through the roof funding.
So just face the facts. The "Face on Mars" is just a mesa that had well placed shadows that are one in a million. So don't be Jeff the astronaut, and just face the facts early on as oposed to having high hopes and dreams just to have them crushed by even more scientifically proven evidence. If you don't remember anything from this article, remember this: don't be Jeff. | 4 |
In the artical, "Making Mono Lisa Smile," the author writes about a new technology known as Facial Action Coding System, abbreviated to FACS. This technology reads peoples expressions and put together pecentages of how a person is feeling. Others claim that this is an excelent idea to use this in a classroom, but I disagree. It is a skill that most humans have, could be used in a way that it should not be used, and is unnatural.
Telling facial expression is a human skill that we recieve when we are born. The passage gave an example of a person and their friend. A person could easily tell how their friend is doing by looking and watching their facial expressions. Even if a baby was looking at another human being, the baby can tell hiw the ither person is feeling. Yes, it could be hard at times for they could easily have mixed emotions about something, but is that not what socilasing for? So why do we need a machine telling us how we feel in a classroom?
A student can easily hide their feelings. Rather that be out of shame, of pride, or even jalousy. Humanity would be lying to one self if all of us said that we have never hid our feelings. Actors and actresses around the world are hiding their true feelings to get into a charactor. These people are convencing themselves that they are a different person, which is what makes the acting industry so great and interisting. There are some students that are worried about their grades and some that could careless. Carelessness could come from boredom, however, if the subject is not appealing to them, they will be bored either way. There are certin subjects that most students find no intrest in that they have to take no matter what because it is required by the law of the state for education. For example, if a student enjoys math more than language art, they will most likely be bored of almost everything that is taught in the language arts classroom. For an educator to make it more intresting and apealing to this student, they might think about adding some kind of math into the subject. This will most likely not work because the student is in the mind set of laungue arts.
This machienery is unnatural to the Earth and to humanity. If we start using these in classrooms, it will most likely be taken farther and be sold to be at ones homes. it is said in the passage "your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms..." however, it was once imposible for a phone to fit in a pocket, it was imposible for an airplane to fly, and there are many othe "imposible" things that became posible. Now days with social media, people are more constricted in their "self buble" that they do not go and try to meet new people. If this machien was to enter our homes, the kids may never leave the house because "it knows exactly what I am feeling."
Over all, I do not think that this machienery is a good place for a school because it is a skill that most humans have, could be used in a way that it should not be used, and is unnatural. Humans need the interaction with other humans, they can easily fake their facial expression, and could become a cause of lower social skills. | 3 |
In "The challenge of the Exploring Venus" it shows alot of the good and bad of studies that will help us understand why the author suggest that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The article stated that it is one of the brightest point of light in the sky.
Vince is the 2rd closest plant to the sun which meaning 800 degrees fahrenheit and the presseure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet.
170 degrees fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth, although Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system even though Mercury is closer to our sun, if humans lived there ther could be a chance of additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and freqent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. Otherwise the planet would still have some efatures that are analogous to those on Earth such like Valleys, mountains,and craters.
Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planetary visit. Asronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may erll once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system and i trust that the astronomers would say that because we still think that Mar would be our planetary visit. Although humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on the "cloud-draped world" as they call it. They have said that no spacecraft has survived the landing for more than a few hours ,despite its proximity to us and, of course should like a big danger and risk to take, not easy conditions, but survivable for humans. NASA's possibile solution to hostile conditions on the surface Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray.
Researcher cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance, Venus would need to get uo close and personal despite the risks, they are working on innovations that allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of venus, and some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simlating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. But now they use mechanical computers which were first envisioned in the 1800s and played lots of important roles in the 1940s, by comparison systems that use mechanical parts can be more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces.
What i think of all of this is that the author us right to suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit depite the danger and chaos it represents human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on Eather and beyond should not be limited by dangers and boubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation as the article stated. The astronomers of today they shall wonder off to make Venus a both safe and scienctifically productive, and the people of todays world would be amazing at all the thing that is happening or what will happened to Venus. | 2 |
Many countries world wide have gone "car-free" due to either smog or other areas has simply banned them. Not only is banning cars good for the enviroment it is also good for the well being of the human race. In the following passages "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", "Paris bans driving due to smog", "Car-free day is a big hit in Bogota", and "The End of Car Culture" mention the finner points about why being "car-free" is benificial.
By far, Europe is once again ahead of the United States due to the fact that many countries dont use cars, but they travel to their next destination by train, tram, bus, and walikng. Unlike America, almost every one is using a car to get to their next place, and barely use a bus. According to the passage " The End of Car Culture" our own president of the United States is making goals to help improve the "greenhouse gas emissions" but just like the title suggest the end of cars are near. " The United States, with its broad expanses and suburban ideals, had long been one of the world's prime car cultures" researchers are noticing a decline in the buying and selling of cars nation wide. "Demographic shifts in the driving population suggest that the trend may accelerate."It has already accelerated in Europes biggest capitals the world has come to know and love.
Paris. The "city of love" or the city of smog, has banned driving due to record high reports of smog. "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partcial driving ban to clear the air of the globla city" according to the passage " Paris bans driving due to smog" smog in the "city of love" is not quite romantic as a city without smog. Paris alone "... had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter...". Banning cars and fining people is one way to help clear the air of pollution, so their is more room for love, laughter, and happiness. "Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals." well maybe the smog and love can share the air. Lets travel all the way back to the Americas to see how the smog is doing there in the countyr of Colombia.
Bogota, Colombia located in South America has had its own little smog problems just like Paris. "The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog." a whole day of either biking, hiking, skating, walking,or taking a taxi and/or bus, to get to work or school. In the Passage "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" explains to us why we should stop using cars but rather rely on our body than a 3,000 pound peice of machinerery. " The days without cars is part of an imporvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s.". For almost 25 years Bogota, Colombia once a year celebrates a day to help reduce smog, and produce a happy, healthy, and smog free life style. "'The rain hasnt stopped people from participating,'" remarks Bogota Mayor Antanas Mockus. there may have been a few gray clouds, but that doesnt keep people form not supporting their own enviroment. Good Job to Bogota, and see what tricks Germany has up their sleeve.
Picture this: an upscale suburban community in Vauban, Germany; where soccer moms are taking there children to soccer practice, and big CEO executives are going to work. They're getting to their next destination not by car, because in this town of 5,500 people, nobody has a car because they have give up the life of "Car Culture". The passage "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", well truely they do. Who needs cars when you go to work by bike, train, skateboard, roller skates, or the traditional walking. "Vauban, completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to seperate suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called 'smart planning.'" What amkes this "smart planning" truely genius, is that everbody is totally cool with it. For "the past two decades to make cities denser, and better for walking, planners are now taking the concept to the suburbs...". Vauban may be just an experimental suburb, but the people who live in it seem to enjoy the life without the hastle of smog producing vehicles . "When I had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." states Heidrum walter, a resident of the green suburban town Vaubran.
Many countries world wide have gone "car-free" due to either smog or maybe even banned them entirely. Countries all over the wolrd are seeing a difference in their community every day when they don't drive a car. not only is going "car-free" great for the reduction of smog, but you can live a happier, healthier, and stress-free life style; like most people have noitced from Bogota, Colombia to the small suburban town Vauban, Geramny. Next time when you leave your house for work, just think how stress-free you'll be if you biked, walked, or take the train. | 3 |
I like the idea of this technology of how it can tell what peoples emotions are like. I belive it can help people who are wanting to in the feild of human emotions, because it can help them spot how a patient is feeling.
But this technology can also do harm to some people with depression because if or when they try the online face reader it is going to show that they are sad, mad, or angry and that might make them feel those emotions even more.
and here is my list of why I love and hate technology.
Modern technology has gotten to a point where if computers came alive the human race would be killed off in a couple of days.
Computers can now detect how we are feeling.
We have been able to make robots and who is to say that someone made falty wireing or made a falty chip.
There goes a robot on its way to making the world its own.
Technology is getting better every day with new computers and new updates to keep them safer to the user so they can worry less about their information getting out to the public.
That is Apples clam to fame that their phones and computers can not be hacked.
There are special employee's in Apple that try to hack their own system to make sure that their system is bulletproof.
This is why they were able to make this clam.
When new updates, phones, and computers come out there is a select few that try to find the weakest part of the system and tair it down.
Just to prove that no computer is better than them and their hacking system.
In fact now hacking systems are so good now that almost any computer can get hacked for the other side of the world.
Like the saying goes you are only as strong as your weakest link.
These are all reasons they computers are good and bad for people they can save use by keeping our information safe but they could also be hacked by some smart guy who has way to much time on his hands and then finally the world could be taken over by robots.
These are all reasons why I love and hate technology. | 0 |
People should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program because it would be a great way to work with animals, travel, and visit new places. By joining you'll be able to learn and know how to care for animals. You'll also be helping countries find there way back to the top like Luke did. You can have fun on the Seagoing Cowboys program only if you want to. Luke had fun and tried new things, he made this program benefit his life into doing new things, and so can you, you only have to try.
Luke wanted to travel, so he managed to go to Greece, Europe, and China. Luke also wanted to work with animals and care for them and he got to just by signing up for this program. Luke got to tour the exavated castle in Crete and he also toured the Panama Canal, and so can you, you have to just sign up for this program and benefit from it. Luke cares for the animals because he liked them and they were fragile to him. Luke found time to have fun by playing baseball and volleyball games. Luke also played table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling to have fun and pass the time.
So you should sign up for the Seagoing Cowboys program, so you can have the same experience as Luke, and to meet new people, new animals, and visit new places just to enjoy life and have fun. Also by signing up you can maybe have a family if you choose to, its your choice and your life. | 2 |
Are driveless cars safe? Are driveless cars going to the best technology ever invented? Do you think driveless cars is a good or bad thing? Google cofounder Sergey Brin envinisions a future with driverless cars. Brin and a lot of manufactures are working together to invent driveless care for the future. Posibbly ass early as 2020. I am for sure against the idea of the devoelopment of a driverless car for the near fututre.
Although, the invention of driveless cars have been dreamt about, it should not become a reality. Driverless cars would come with more risks than just having a regular person behind a car wheel. An actual person behind a wheel will havbe more control over a car than a computer. A computer can have a numerous amount of different malfuctions. What will happen if the computer malfunctions? What will happen to the car? How will it affect the people aound the car?Some people believe that driverless car would be a great addition to the world. But the risks of a driverless cars malfunctioning is much more high risk than just keeping a actual person driving a car. An actual person will know what to do if a car spins out of control, another car beside them lose contol, or they if there is a | 1 |
Many probelms that our world is facing right now are pointed back to car usage. Problems such as congestion, high levels of smog, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions in many places are all discussed in these articles.
These days people can't get see themselves going on with their life without a car but in places such as Bogota, Columbia they have a set date called "The Day Without Cars". The day without cars is a car-free day, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams.(paragraph 20) Many people in Bogota choose to hike, bike, skate or take buses in order to get to work or wherever else they need to be. Some Colombians even enjoy it, such as businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza who said "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." (paragraph 24)
In the article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars," places such as Vauban, Germany are even giving up the usage of cars. Vauban's streets are completely "car-free". (paragraph 2) A media trainer and mother of two in Vauban named Heidrun Walter described how the change to not using cars has affected her in a positive way when she said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." (paragraph 3) Experts say that automobiles have a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. (paragraph 5) When places like Vauban begin to reduce or completely end car usage, the greenhouse gas is also reduced and helps to reach the goal of a more healthy and clean society.
The article "Paris Bans Driving Due To Smog," Talks about cities such as Paris that have tried to forcedly ban driving. The reason for doing this was in hope to "clear the air of the global city." (paragraph 10) Even though there were many who did not participate in the ban of cars in Paris, congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France. (paragraph 14) Not only did this effort of less car usgae reduce congestion but it also reduced the level of smog in the France.
For many people cars are just an excuse not to exercise. For example, someone might say "Why should I walk when i can drive?" or "Why should I bike when I could take a taxi?" People are so busy and caught up in work and being the best over everyone that exercise and physical condition are the least of their worries when really, it should be at the top of their list of importance. If someone decides to walk or skate to work everyday they would be in a healthy state of being and not have to worry or stress about finding extra time after work or school to exercise. If car usage is limited, our community would be drastically more healthy, physically and mentally.
The amount of car usage has a great affect on many things in our community and our world. Car usage affects not only the pollution in our living conditions but also our mood and for some people, their happiness and stress level. The limited amount of cars also forces us to seek different forms of transportation that are not all motorized. Without cars people sometimes choose to walk, bike, skate, or even run to where they need to be. Not only does this improve our pollution problem but it also improves our physical and mental health. Limited car usage has many advantages and could make a very positive impact on our world. | 3 |
I went on a trip to Europe on a cattle boat with my best friend Don Reist. After World War ll people needed help, so Don and I signed up for a UNRRA( the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration). Our job was to carry cargo of 335 horses including enough hay and oats to feed them.
Even though I have hard work to do about everyday, I still get a little bit of free time. I like my job because I get to help people in need for help and still get to see the most beautiful sites.
Everyone who loves boat rides, can handle hard work, and still wants free time should join the UNRRA program. The text says, " Luke also found time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded." This most likley means that other people is happy about their job too, and can have fun while doing their work.
The text says, " UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas." This means that you are the one who needs to sign up to be apart of the crew. Being apart of this crew can be a once and a life time opportunity, like the text says, " He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime." | 1 |
The author of "The challenage of exploring Venus ," suggests that studying Venus is worthy despite the dangers that are presented. Venus is sometimes called the "Evening star," it's one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun, but still a safe distant. It's also not to far away from us, earth.Venus is often referred to as Earth's "twin." It's the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and also occasionally closest distant to Earth.
Even though Venus hasn't had a spacecraft land in more than three decaddes it's still worth studying. Humans have sent sapacecrafts to land numerous of times, on this cloud-draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned, for a good reason. No spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Due to this Venus has a reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study.
There's many reasons to why you couldn't survive on planet Venus. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide, which is very challenging for us. The clouds are even more dangerous because of highly corrosive sulfuric acid. Temperatures average in venus is like 10 times higer than what we are used to. Over 800 dregrees fahrenheit, and also atmosphereic pressure is 90 times greater than what wea re used to on our planet. Venus has the highest tempetures in pur solar system. If were ever to land a spacecraft to Venus, the spacecrat would probably melt.
Astronomers are fascinated by venus because longlong ago Venus was the most Earth- like planet. Venus was covered largely with oceans and could have supported in various forms of life. Venus still has some features that are alike Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and has similar features such as valleys, mountains, and caters. NASA is thinking about sending humans to study Venus.
If humans were to go to Venus they would have to float above the fray. In a blimp like vechile hovering 30 miles above the roiling venusian landscape. Tempetures would still be very toasty at 170 degrees fahrenheit, but tempeture would plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. It probably won't be posible to traval to planet Venus. | 1 |
The Viking one spacecraft has just sent pictures to NASA from what appears to be a face on mars. I personally believe that this is just some natural landform on mars made from weathering. It did look good but our sensation was short lived. Other scientists and I believe it was just a Martion mesa, they are common around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like and Egyptian Pharaoh.
A few days after we found this formation Nasa unveiled the image for others to see. We put a caption that noted it was a huge rock formation. It resembled a human head, formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth. In the America West there are landforms like the face and of the same size. The face reminds Garvin of the Middle Butte in the Snake river Plain of Idaho.
On April 5, 1998, when Mars GLobal Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on JPL website, revealing a natural landform. There was nor alien monument after all.
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. Landforms around the American West. It reminds Garvin most of the Middle butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. That's a lava dome that takes form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. There is no aliens on Mars. | 2 |
Have you ever thought about what the world would do without automobiles. I have and it isn't pretty. Paris has enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. Now, chew on that! I mean if you think about all the gas stations, and all the space that automobiles take up, it really wouldn't be a bad idea in banning cars in like citys and small towns. If you were to drive 20 miles in 8 minutes, How fast do you think you would get to that destination if you were to walk that 20 miles. Some situations just isn't fair, Like motorists with even-numbered license plates would have to leave their car at their home, or suffer a 31$ fine. One of the most populated city in the world has gone down to 60% of their population in about five days of intensifying smog. If you were to get rid of all these cars, Who would be getting up every morning just to go to school or even their jobs?
I've thought about alot of things in my life, But never across the fact of get rid of cars. The advantages of limiting automobiles are high, just for the fact of smog problems, or even damaging the air that we breath. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicle in France, compared to 53.3 percent average of idesel engines in the rest of Western Europe, according to Reuters.(Duffer,16)
Pow!
You just ran into a car trying to park the long bed V8 4*4 Nissian Titan at gatorbait in Melrose FL. All that money that you payed to get the stupid truck, and now you dented the front bumper. That will be 12,000 for the truck, with another 2,000 to fix the front bumper. How can save money, but also get rid of all this crammed space. I will have to say that we need to get rid of all these cars and just leave them at the house.
I don't know what will happen to automobile shops, but it isn't about the lousy shops! It's about our freedom to do what we please, and if that means that automobiles are in the way, remove them. We, the people, need to make more compact, accessible places where it will be with less space to park. I have an idea, let's forbidden street parking, Driveways, home garages, and generally anything that can be used to park or put a car in. Until that happens it is just a dream, that hundreds would love to become reality. Fellow citizens should also make only 2 places avaliable to park, and that would be parking garages or you have to pay 40$ and buy a house if you break a rule to drive your car to a place.
It just dosen't make sense to keep something that is causing us so much greaf. Did you know that passanger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe,While up to 50% in the U.S is car intensive areas. Life as we know still goes on like nothing has every really bothered us like the Automobiles do. "Our Development since World War 2 has been centered around the car, now that has go to change." Said David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America. They are promoting new communities that would be less dependent on cars. I believe that we finish this car problems, We can focus on more important things such as life, family, and Money.
As I write, People are out in the real world making cars for humans like me and you. If we can't put a stop to having all these new vehicles, than it truly will say something about us and who we are as a community. Yes, I agree with having vehicles to drive from point A to B, But that dosen't mean that I don't want change that will help us with money issues. Automobiles are a waste of space, and can hurt by putting all this money that we're just throwing away like we are the richest country in the World. But, we are not. | 3 |
To me I like the idea of having driverless cars, because if someone goes on a long vacation and they did not want to fly they would have to drive. When you are driving for a long period of time your legs will eventually get tired and you will have to stop at rest station. With the driverless cars they will drive themselves and you can just sit back and relax while of course still paying attention to the road ahead of you. This will get you to your destination in less time because you will make less stops.
In the article is states, "In 2013, BMW announced the development of Traffic Jam Assistant. The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." This is a good thing for these types of cars because you do not want your car to just go straight through a construction zone and not be able to stop it. Or you do not want your car to go the wrong way if there is a detour. I like the idea on how if the driver needed to he can take over the wheel and get going the correct way.
I agree that these cars could be a good thing for us in the future because of the things that I have said above. These cars may not have sounded like a good thing in the beginning but as of right now they are an up and coming thing for us. Even if you like to drive this does not mean you have to get one of these types of cars. It is just a good idea for people whose legs can get tires really quick or if you are going on a long car trip. This car is the way to go. | 2 |
The face is a natural landform, trust me. It is just a huge rock that is real, but a shadowing effect gives off an illusion of the eyes, nose, and mouth making it look like a human head has been created there purposely. Some people say that an alien could have been the one to make this human head figure, but with the new picture we got that is ten times better than the old one we have been able to prove that there was no alien monument after all.
Even after we have proved that there was no alien who created that, people are still not even satisfied. Some even said they believed that the alien markings could have been hidden by haze. With that being said, on April 8, 2001 Mars Global Surveyor came close enough for a second look at it. We once agin got another extraordinary photo of the figure using the cameras maximum resolution. in this picture if anything was there you would have been able to see it in that photo, but there was nothing there to see in that photo that an alien could have been responsible for this random figure.
If you are wondering what the picture did show, it showed the magnificents of a butte or messa, which stands for landforms that are common around the American West. So it is a common thing that happens which explains why they found one on Mars. No aliens, just a natural landform. | 2 |
Venus is the second planet from the sun. Venus is also referred to as the Earths twin. The author of this article " The Challenge of Exploring Venus," has listed many ways that going to Venus could be good, but there are also reasons why it could be bad.
Some of the things that the author list are, Venus is very hard to get to and land on, sometimes Venus is colser to Earth and in that case that is when the spacecrafts get send there, and that it is a hard planet to study no matter how close it is. the author list both good and bad things about Venus. Temperatures can be about 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure is 90 times grater then on Earth, humans could not survive that. Astronomers like Venus becaus it used to be the most Earth like planet, Venus used to have large oceans.
Venus may be a hard place to get too, it is not safe for people to be there long. if we could even land on Venus for more then a few minutes we could learn valuble thing about Venus and how it works. Venus has dangers but it would a big deal if we could learn more about the planet. | 1 |
I am against driverless cars because those cars going to do nothing but cause trouble. We dont need any new cars that's not going to do anything but make our world a worse place. With driverless cars you never know when your going to have a accident or loose control of the car. I know I would like to have full control of the car that I am driving, not some robot car. All expenses would go up and everyone would have to work alot to even pay these priced cars off.
Driveless cars are dangerous and who would thinks these thing are save for our kids.Drivng law focus onkeeping everyone in there car save.Driverless cars are not even proven reliably safe. These cars could stop working at any time and what if its a beginner driving the car, what are they suppose to do? Some electrical difficulties could happen and you have your kid in the car how are you suppose to save the both of you. There is some many things that could go wrong and i think its just a way to big of a risk to take.These experiments on these andvances cars are unnessecary when we have perfectly fine cars today. All they scientist and Everyone else who is helping create the driverless are just wasting money. I feel that if these cars are invented taxes will go up and all prices will to.Eventually noone is going to buy a car if their isnt goint to be a reason to. Facts even show that some experiments havent been fully done because of finacial difficuties.
I would like to say again that i am strongly against driverless cars their so unsafe, they bring poplution and unnessacary drama to the world, also driver cars are to expensive and is a waste of money. why waste money on something we already have. Cars are ment to get us to a destination and back, theyre making some thing we could live in. Who would even want to get out there cars when theirs all sort of intertainment, arent we suppose to be focuse on the road? Robots might as well take over , what is going to be left for the humans to do? We cant even drive our own cars I would even waste all my money one some thing so stupid like that. Is anyone going to be able to afford these things? Wasting time and money for some driverless car that you cant even drive, things are getting out of hand. | 2 |
All around the world air pollution is a major problem, most everyone knows that. However, there is one thing that a lot of people do not know. They do not know that they themselves are contributing to polluting the very air that they breathe. Car usage is an enormous contribution to the pollution going into the air and is a problem all around the globe that needs to be drawn attention to. This essay will help to prove to my fellow citizens that limiting car usage has huge advantages and should be carefully considered for our community.
In the first article, In German Suburb Life Goes On Without Cars, it informs you about a town called Vauban located in Germany. This town is involved in a movement under the name of "smart planning." This the attempt to "seperate suburban life from auto use." Since street parking, driveways, and home garages have generally been banned, "70 percent of the towns families do not own cars." It goes on to tell you that "passenger cars are respinsible for 12 percent greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some areas of the United States." By cutting down the usage of their vehicles, the are making a difference. People are and have been taking notice and began to join this movement. It has had a ripple effect and could really make a difference in our air pollution content if it keeps its momentum.
The second article, Paris Bans Driving Due To Smog, takes on a different setting. It takes place in Paris, France and whereas Vauban's ban was voluntary, Paris's not so much. The city had to take a drastic approach after they reached "near-record pollution" with smog so bad that is "rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one the most polluted cities in the world." As you can imagine, precautions had to be taken. Those pracautions resulted in a "partial driving ban". Those who did not listen to the band would be fined 22 euros. As a result, car traffic in the busy city of Paris was down a whole 60 percent. The ban was so effective that the smog cleared enough after a few days that the ban was retrackted, showing proof that limiting car usage really does make a difference in our environment and should not be overlooked.
I know that it is hard to imagine your world without having you vehicle to use at all times, but it is a change that needs to be made. Our air is suffering and getting worse and worse due to our increasing car usage. Citites are being made denser for two decades to make for better accessability. It has been proven that it works so why should we not give it a try? The citizens in our community should seriously consider this option of limiting our car usage. If they do, they will quickly be amazed with positive outcome that follows. | 3 |
The author explains very well why Venus is a worhty pursuit despite its dangers. The author explains that Venus is a good planet to pursit for may reasons. reasons that explain why its wrothy and why its a good planet to try to arrive in. Venus is a good planet acorrding to the author.
Venus is the only planet in the solar system that was earth-like. This planet used to be covered largely with oceans and could have supporred various of life forms. The author is saying that long ago this planet was capable hold life. Even though This planet is noe over 800 degrees and has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon diioxide this planet eas oce like earth. Thats not all veus sill has some features that are analogous to thopse of earth.the planet has a surface of rocky sediment and inclides familiar features such as valleys,mountains, and craters. Venus is the nearest option for a planetay visit.
I conclution even though venus has very hot tempature cause its the second closest planet to the sun it still has a capability to be lived on.This planet used to have oceans and tempatures that were able to be lived in.it is save to say that this planet used to be capable to hold live froms where one could live | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System is a great achivement in science and technology, but should it be used in your computer at school? There are many reasons why using this coding systam could be a great thing in the class room, or a disaster. As stated in the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, if we could put this in our everyday school computers, it could calculate whether or not a student is having trouble with a lesson and change it for them to help them. What are the pros? What are the cons?
Some of the pros to using this coding system in students computers is as stated in the article, it could read the studens facial expresssions and determan if he or she is confused or having trouble understanding the lesson. If it could do this it could change the way the lesson it tought better helping the student understand.
But what if schools dont teach lessons online. For example, my school does not teach lessons online. Our teachers might give us website addresses to look up and use for studying, depending on the teacher. Unlike other schools around me that do E-learning. They either stay at home, or go to school and do a whole days work off of their school issued computers. This Facial Action Coding System would work greatly for those students that do E-Learning, but not so much for the ones that don't.
Secondly, does this system cost anything? If so how much? And do schools really need to spend extra money on a system to be installed in our computers? Schools have gotten along just fine without this for years. Schools did just fine before they were even using technology like computers in the first place. I don't think that we are really in need of something like this. Students using the internet to do assigments always ask questions if they have any. Those students also have internet acsess if they are working on online assignments, so they could also search for more websites to help them better understand.
Another topic listed in the article was using the coding systam to learn if that person was intrested in an add that showed up on their computer or not. I belive that adds are already annoying enough, I do not want a coding systam reading my face and giving me adds that I would be more intrested in. Doing so would distract that person from trying to get their work done. For example, if I was a student scrolling through a website I am using to fill out an assignment for school, I don't want a bunch of adds poping up distracting me from my work. Espesially when its and add that intrests me. If its something that intrestes me, then I'm more likely to click on it distracting me from my work. I sertanly wouldn't want that to happen, and I belive nobody else does either.
Really there are a lot of great points to both sides of the topic, but it is mainly up to the schools if they want to use The Facial Action Coding System or not. They only need to ask themselfs the right questions. Do our teachers teach offline alot? Do we have the money for technology like this? And do our students really want to use this or not? | 2 |
Alien life on Mars seems a little out of this world. If they haven't made contact with us by now what are they doing? Some of the alien hopefulls say that there are some major signs like the Face on Mars. Well it's not a sign of any sort, because of some reliable research. This resaerch includes increadible images of it from spacecraft and that its simialr to natural formations on Earth. These reasons are why the Face on Mars is just natural, not alien made.
First of all, the Face on Mars was first discovered when the Viking 1 spacecraft took pictures over the Cyndonia region of Mars in 1976. The pictures looked like an ancient Egytian face but after studying them a group at the Jet Propulsion Lab said that it was only a common mesa with shadows that played tricks on your eyes. Then again in 1998 and 2001 clearer photos of the face were taken. They showed that it was only a massive rock.
Secondly, it is been said to be a natural landform similar to those in the American West. The Face on Mars is just a butte which occurs when lava domes into an isolatd mesa. Scientist Jim Garvin says, "It remids me most of Middle butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." So this "face" is almost like a natural landform right here on Earth acorrding to the chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program.
Although, these points are valid how can we tell what the Face on Mars really is untill we actually go there. For all we know the pictures are being obstructed by Martian clouds or that NASA is releasing false images. But, why would a space angency always in need of some more funding for even more research want to hurt itself by not releasing real images. Also why would NASA mess with the most clear, powerful, and detailed images of the Face that they have from not being right there hovering over the rock formation.
In conclusion, the Face on Mars is nothing more than a natural rock formation with some cool shadows. There is full proof evidence that shows this to be true. There is the fact that its just like other formations in the area and on Earth and that there are some amazing pictures of it taken years apart that only get more and more detailed. Other claims do not have this kind of true scientific reaserch behind them. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
The Electoral College has been around for many years now and chosen who would become president of our country. I believe that you should stop listening to the Electoral College on who will be the new president and start listening to the citizens of the United States. We are the ones who know what we want and who we feel will be a great leader for our country.
When citizens vote its known as the popular vote. Even though we vote every four years, its honestly a waste of time because the Electoral College doesnt care what we think. What matters to them is that they make the final decision on which president they think we care about more. Its not fair to us! We deserve a say in who we want to lead us in the right direction.
Back in the 1960's, segregationists in Louisiana's legislature just about succeeded in changing the Democratic electors with ones who would oppose John F. Kennedy. If they succeeded, John F. Kennedy would have never became presedent even though the popular vote wanted him.
In Conclusion, I think its best to take away the Electoral College while we are voting for a president. The people have the right to choose who they feel will be the most honest and most loyal president to run our country. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hear what i believe should be done.
Sincerely,
PROPER_NAME | 1 |
Cars have been used as a main way of transportation for many years. Using cars as a way of transportation can have advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately there are more disadvantages to using cars as a way of transportation, than there are advantages. Cars are ruining our environment and our society, therefore there should be a limit to car usage. Limiting car usage is not a bad thing, there are tons of advantages to limiting car usage.
Elisabeth Rosenthal has stated many advantages to limiting car usage in her articles, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars," and "The End of Car Culture." Rosenthal states that cars make people tense and without cars people are less tense. When people are less tense they are happier and willing to do more things. Rosenthal also says that less cars results in less greenhouse gases. Cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gases in Europe and 50 percent of the greenhouse gases in parts of the United States. Cars are the second largest source of America's emissions, therefore if cars are limitied the emissions will decrease.
Another author, Robert Duffer, also states advantages to limiting car usage in his article, "Paris bans driving due to smog." Duffer states that limiting car usage will lower the amount of air pollution. Paris decided to fine people on certain days if they were driving with a certain license plate number. Fining people for driving their cars enforced people to stop driving on certain days to lower the amount of car traffic. A result to Paris's new law was that congestion decreased 60 percent after the new law was enforced. Five days before Paris enforced their law, Paris suffered intensifying fog, therefore, the new law in Paris proves that cars are increasing the amount of air pollution.
A final author that has stated advantages to limiting car usage is Andrew Selsky in his article, "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota." Andrew Selsky describes in his article a day in Bogota that has been designated to be car free. Every year Bogota has one day that they ban cars and only allow buses and taxis as a way of transportation and all violaters are fined $25. Bogota's plan is that limiting transportation will reduce smog and encourage people to find a new way of transportation. Selky describes that one participant in the "car-free day" stated that the day lowered air pollution and helped take away stress. The car-free day has also helped Bogota improve their sidewalks, bicycle paths, and, most importantly, their city.
Overall, limiting car usage will have numerous amounts of advantages both, for the environment, and for the citizens. The most beneficial advantage to limiting car usage is less air pollution, smog, and greenhouse gases. Rosenthal, Duffer, and Selsky all mentioned in their articles that less car usage will result in a better air to breathe. The second largest advantage to less car usage is that people can be happier and less tense. Both Rosenthal and Selsky state examples of people saying that after being forced to stop using cars as much, they began to feel less tense and happier. Limiting car usage will be very beneficial to citizens and the environment we live in. | 2 |
People today and years before us have always wandered if there has been life on Mars. With one photo taken of a mysterious figure, people think they have come closer than ever to knowing if there was life long before us on another planet. "Unmasking the Face on Mars" is a topic commonly talked about. Some say the Face was created by aliens, while others say it is the natural landform that caused it. Pictures were taken, and a conclusion have been made whether or not aliens created it, or if it was caused by a natural landform.
In 1976, Viking 1 was orbiting Mars to find a landing space for their sister ship, Viking 2.
While scouting out Mars, Viking 1 comes across an image that could likely show life on Mars. The pictured appeared to be a face, but was debated for a long time. A couple years later in 1998, the Mars Global surveyor (MGS) took a shot of the "Face" which revealied a naural landform.
The image shot in 1998 was ten times shaper and more clear than the one taken in 1976. Once the second picture was taken, it was released to the JPL web site showing all, that it was caused by natural landforms and that aliens were not the case. People began to say that the aliens were hidden by a haze since the camera it was taken with had to zoom through the clouds in order to take the shot. The people needed specific evidence to believe that aliens do not exist, so the MGS did just that.
To prove to all the people, a third picture was taken in 2001 by the MGS. The image was shot with the most powerful resolution. It showed the mysterious figure on Mars turned out to be a butte or mesa. These were landforms comman in the American West. With the high quality picture we now know that life on Mars never existed, and the so called "Face" was formed over time by natural landforms. | 1 |
I think that we the people should all look forward to driverless cars. Many people are so focused on all the negative effects that driverless cars could potentionally have. These people are not thinking of how everyone could potentionally benefit from driverless cars. I think that the world should have driverless cars because we are receiving advanced technology and car companies are taking great precautions to make sure that the driverless cars are safe.
Driverless cars will work efficiently because of all the technology that is being provided to people. Back before people had technology, people used candles as light sources and they had to walk to get to a certain destination. In today's modern world we walk into a room turn on the light and turn on some type of electrical device. We waste electrical power everyday. People leave lights and televisions on all the time. It is such a waste! If we do not try to use the technology we have while we have it we're wasting our time and hard earned money. We could easily fix any problems that might occur with the smart cars. The manufactures are taking great precautions to make sure that people stay safe in driverless cars. The text states, "Manufactures are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver." From this example you can tell that as long as everyone cooperates these self driving cars will work. Another precaution that the manufactures are trying to make is to keep drivers alert. In the text it also states, "Further improvments in senors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to car that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." From this example we can conclude that we are so close to achieving driverless cars. If we quit now these long years of work will all be flushed down the drain.
I believe that we should keep fighting for driverless cars. Not using our advanced technology to our advantage would just be a waste! People are so stuck on what could happen if the car messes up. The manufactures are looking into any possible type of problem so that it can be fixed. These driverless cars are going to be able to withstand everything. These people are just worrying themselves about something that would never happen. Driverless cars would be a magnificent idea. | 3 |
Cars are becoming a dying trend all over the world. More and more people choose to walk, ride bikes, take busses, or use alternative forms of transportation. Car companies seem to be losing business also. With more and more drives becoming pedestrians each day, it seems that private automobiles will soon be replaced by the old method of transportation, walking. This new option of transportation seems to be becoming a trend everywhere.
Less cars means less polution. Major cities that are filled with cars seem be becoming more and more polluted each day. Big cities such as paris have taken major action, such as to temporarily ban driving, to reduce smog production. An article from the Chicago Tribune states"After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city"(10). Pollution is becoming a big problem all over the world. Alternative transportation is one way you can help stop the pollution all over the world.
More exercise is allowed without cars. Withour cars, people are forced to get up and move to their destination instead of just sitting down your whole life. Obesity is becoming a big problem now all over the world but it has a very big impact in America. More people need more exercise and getting rid of cars is an excellent solution. Even with riding a bus, you would have to get up and walk to the bus stop. Alternative transportation could be the new big thing in exercise.
You can save money without a car. Due to inflation, cars cost a ludacris amount of money in modern day. People spend their whole lives trying to pay off an automobile. Not only do you have to pay off the Automobile itself but you must also pay for the gas, parts, and tools that come with it, which price continues to rise. It is also getting harder to find money and jobs as unemployement also rises while many salaries fall. It is very important to save your money and current day and maybe spend it on something more useful than an automobile.
As automobiles begin to become scarce among many counties, more and more benefits come with alternative transportation. The benefits of being able to save money, the ability to get in physical shape and to exercise more, and the ability to be smog free are all extremeley important in today's society and enviornment. Automobile businesses are even thinking of partnering with other companies that produce products such as bikes, busses, or even making more sidewalks for pedestrians with alternative transportation. Our economy may be falling but our enviorment is flourishing. Giving up cars and Alternative transportaion may be the next big thing. Use alternative transportation to save our earth and for the benefits that come along with it. | 3 |
The Facial Acting Coding System could allow you to express yourself without meaning to. It would be such a helpful thing for students, it could allow them to become smarter or even allow them to get a bad feelng out by letting someone know they are upset or stressed.
The Facial Acting Coding System would allow a student who was confused or bored to get extra help. As is stated in paragraph 6 of they are confused or bored it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor to help them understand. This would allow someone who was quiet and shy that is to afraid to ask for the extra help in class to get the help. They would be able to do so without speaking up in front of everyone and geting embarassed, they could just simply sit there and pay attention allowing the Facial acting coding system to see it.
The Facial Action Coding System would also allow someone who is very upset to get help without having to be straightforward and walk up to someone and ask. It could recognize you are upset as stated in paragraph 3 and it could alert someone that you nee help. You could then have them come to you instead of you having to start the conversation with them and theyd already know you were upset and needed to talk to someone.
It would also be able to find what you are interested in and help you find stuff you like and possibly what you want to do. As stated in paragraph 6 the computer can play an ad and it can see if you like it by the response you have suchas smiling it will play more ads that are like that one or if you frown it can avoid ones like that and play something the complete opposite until it finds what you like. This would also allow you to find people who are similar to you that like the same stuff allowing you to become friends and get closer tothe friends you already had.
The Facial Action Coding System would be a very valuable tool for in the classroom. It would allow students to learn to there greatest ability because it will be able to effectivily modify the lesson when one is confused. It would allow the higher members know if a student was also having trouble and needed talked to. Yes the Facial Action Coding System would be of good use in the classroom. | 3 |
Luke graduated from high school and his life got more complucated. After he graduated he was working two part-time jobs. His freind invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke could not refuse. After that one trip he has gone on six teen other trips. In the mean time of wating to get were he wanted to go he helped out on the ship. He feed and gave water to young houres and cattle.
Luke liked living like that. He liked to be on the move and working wile he was going some were. When he works he gets to see all sortes of beutiful and amazing things. On one trip he went to China and on anuther he went to Greece. He went througth all kinds of rivers, lakes, and ocanes.
If you are the tip of person that likes to travel this is the purfected jod for you. But if you get sea sike this is a taribble job for you. And all you have to do is feed and give water to hourses and cattle three time a day and after the hourses and cattle get off the boat you can play baseball, vollyball, table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, and you can read.
So if you like to travle over seas and like to play games. the job is just right for you and you get to go to China and Greece. And if you go to work on the boat remember luke you might just see him. Good luck working and traveling with the UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration.) | 1 |
I think that the new technology, FACS
which stands for facial action coding system is valuable. Because knowing how others are feeling can help develop stronger relationships and bonds with friends and family. And can also help a person console another person if they are feeling sad, lonely, and angry, even if the other person doesn't show their true emotions/ feelings.
And the technology FACS
can recognize different human emotions such as sadness or happiness even if the person's face doesn't have any emotion or expressions on it.
And we could also learn more on how our emotions change from time to time and why they change.
And could help develop better ways for humans and computers to communicate.
And it would help people that have trouble describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, and other emotions like that.
And it may help with teaching students. Like, say if a person is bored they probably won't learn as much as someone who isn't bored. Or that if someone is confused they don't really learn anything and it doesn't really help them focus either. But someone who isn't confused or isn't bored will likely learn better than those who are confused or bored.
If it is something that the student likes or is intersted it they will likely listen and probably won't be confused nor bored. But if it is something that they don't really like or it isn't interesting to them then they may not pay attention to it and may get bored and/or get confused.
And may help people learn and grow well.
And also if the person learning doesn't really like the lesson or is not interested or is bored or confused then the computer can change the lesson to something that the student will probably like and not be bored or confused with anything on or in the lesson. Or the computer can suggest something else or another lesson for the student to do to see if they do better in the lesson and enjoy it more and focus more.
It can improve education and how well students know everything and can encourage good attitudes and positive things in the present and the future.
Also, it can help encourage people to talk more often and make friends and to also encourage people to help others and things like that.
And maybe advise teachers in a way to make the lesson their teaching more enjoyable and helpful by playing games or letting students have a group of partners to help them and such.
And may help students have better grades/ do better in school and maybe even do better in extra- curricular activities such as sports.
And help student focus on the things they need to do. And help the teachers to make lessons where it will help the students learn better and be more fun for them.
May also inspire people to work harder or more and do different things and come up with new or different ideas and such. And may even motivate the person to do something that they want to do or accomplish.
Possibly even to pursue goals and/ or dreams . And technology can help us with a lot of different things like understanding how things work and other things like that. | 2 |
Millons of fatal crashes are reported to occur each year. Most of these crashes are reported to have been due to driver error. What if there was a way that we could still be able to get to the places we want to go safely, and efficently with the use of a vechicle, but without actually having to drive. The new innovation of "Driverless" cars could have so much to offer. Driverless cars could let people with disablities be able to go places on there own and become more independent, it could also begin steeply decrease the amount of crashes each year that are due to drinking and driving, and it could save our economy plenty of money and gas.Due to the better fuel efficency a driverless car has to offer.
Many of adults of the legal age to drive are unable to be indepent in getting
places on there own due to a disability that makes it unsafe, or even impossible for them to drive. With the invention of driverless vechicles, it could potientally provide a way for people with disabilites to be able to drive, and own there own vechicles. This would be a great thing for people with disabilites, because it would open alot of opputunites that they never have had the chance to do before, and overall would give them a sense of indepency.
So many people have been victums that have been severly injured, or even in some cases killed due to a crash caused by a drunk driver. If driverless cars are legalized, this could change dramtically decrease the amount of cases of crashes due to drunk driving that occur each year. If people were able to safely get home on there own while under the influence, without even having to step behind a wheel it would create better and safer enviorments for anyone planning to travel on the road.
Alot of people argue that driverless cars would be pointless because the average everyday person would never be able to afford one. Although even though buying a driveless car could be at intial buy a pricey investment the end result you would actually save money. The driverless cars that are already in process of being manufactored are all extremly fuel efficent. As stated in the article the driverless cars are forseen to only use "half of the world's fuel of today's taxis". If driverless cars use better efficeny, than the average person will then spend less money on gas. So after a few years the intal price of a driverless car will be a good investment to make
Driverless cars truly do have alot to offer. They are very innovative and they can improve the lives dramatically of everyday people, including those with disablitles limiting them to be unable to get places on there own. Drunk driving rates could steeply decrease if we begin to use driverless cars, and even though it is a more pricy investment, the amount of money, and gas it can save the average everyday person will make a driverless car a smart investment. | 2 |
In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author effectively supports the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by arguing that it is the closest and most similar planet to Earth and highlighting the strides made by NASA that would keep humans safe on Venus. These two points are made in order to convince readers that the good outweighs the bad through logic and scientific discoveries.
The author begins with the argument that Venus is the most similar to Earth. This is a good argument to make because it lowers the ambiguity which may cause those opposed some heartburn. The text reads, "Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This provides insight into the physical makeup of Venus that needs to be explored while showing that it has similar features to Earth. They also mention that it is the closest planet to Earth which lowers the amount of space travel. This could be a safer option as it would lessen the amount of complications on the way there that are caused by long periods of time. Next, the author uses NASA to prove that exploration of Venus would be safer due to scientific discoveries and manuevers. According to the text, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray." From there the author acknowledges the shortcoming of that idea due to distance and lists out innovative technologies that could get closer to the surface, the first being a mechanical computer. The mechanical computer does not rely on technology and is made of material that could combat the intense heat of Venus. This is an effective way of proving the claim because it provides one solution, acknowledges its faults, and provides another solution to remedy that. This does not leave room for an opposing arguement because the opposition work has already been done. Lastly, the author makes an effort to appeal to the emotion of the reader. The author states, "...human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.". They claim that if we never explore Venus due to doubt, then we can never explore other places that may give us some doubt as well. Essentially, they claim that fear should not stop exploration.
In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author makes the case for the exploartion of Venus despite the dangers by using a number of arguments that appeal to readers both logically and emotionally. The author effectively supports the idea by using evidence from trusted sources, like NASA, and putting them together to make a logical arguement that could appeal to readers. | 3 |
limiting car usage has an advantage because insted of using a bunch cars which most people do people can use their feet to walk and jog and legs to ride bikes insted of just sitting in chair and moving a wheel around thats why in the streets of vauban germany they completely banned people from using cars so they can be more active by using their feet to jog,run and walk and their legs to paddle a bike an other advantage that car usage has is with driving banned the air will also be extremly clean and not polluted with dirty machine gas that means people will not have to breath with dirty air and will be able to breath good and fresh this why car usage is good not only for people to be active and not lazy but to keep the air fresh and clean so that people will stay heatlhy and of course so that mother earth could be healthy as well now that people will begin to use less cars they will go to stores and buy bikes to use and people will be selling alot more bikes so for once human being have really done something good for themseleves and planet earth because earth is the only reason why human beings and other life forms exist | 1 |
Hello Mr. senator, today i would like to talk about the Electoral college. The electoral college is not a place its a process, its where the founding fathers make the constitution hwere people could vote by the citizens.
First, to some people the lelctoral college could be a good thing or some people dont like it. like for example voters dont vote for the president they vote for slate of electors. then the ones woth the most they detreman who will become the next presiden. i dont really like the way tha is works i feel like we should just vote for the president. alsop its kinda confusing with the hole electrol votes and like florida has 34 electoral votes.
Second, who picks the elector in the first place? is it us is the other senator who? also when there is a tie and it has to go in the house of representatives then they chose like what is there is more demcratic thats kinda of unfair. but i understand about why they like it too.
conclusion, I could understand why people like it to for example they actually let the people chose istead of not and then the world just gets crazy. Also it is what our founding fathers created and they had to compermize it. | 1 |
One's feelings should not be used as some sience experiment. There are many people in the world who have feelings that they hide for persnal reasons, and for someone to get in someone else's head is not right. Emotions should not be calculated because it is an invasion of personal feelings, inner thoughts, and emotional expressions.
People have personal feelings that they dont want shared with everyone. In the article the author introduces a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System that allows computers to recognize human emotions. However, this is a complete invasion of personal feelings because everybody has the right to a closed mind. The author has also said that, "...you could probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." Sometimes that's not always the case because people have inner thoughts as well tht they hide.
Another reason why emotions should not be calculated is because people have inner thoughts that they dont want shared as well. Through paragraph 5 it shows how people can see what other people are thinking based on their facial experessions, but that is not always true because some people hide their inner thoughts for the sake of others opinions and feelings. Inner thoughts should stay inner thoughts until the person thinking them is ready to share how they feel. The passage explains how most communication is non verbal, inlcluding emotional commmunication. Furthermore, this proves that if people cannot see certain emotions someone portrays to them than that someone doesnt want those emotions to be shown because it isnt that hard to pick certain emotions out by the way one is looking at you.
Lastly, people's emotions should not be calculated becasue it exposes their emotional expression. This article shows that people have a lot of expression and it can be determined with this Facial Coding machinery. People sometimes express emotions only to help another persons inner feelings. Using what the author has told about this system, for somebody to take a computer and actually go in your head to see what your actually feelings could not only expose yor emotional expression, but hurt someone else's feelings as well.
The invasion of personal feelings, inner thoughts, and emotional expression prove that emotions should not be calculated. People have the right to privacy, even if its only the mind, and this system reveals their secret emotions that should not have to be revealed through test. | 3 |
Facial acction coding system caued be used in a learnig inviorment.
It cauded tell if understood a subject. And what the best way to teach it to you is. A school computor cauded tell if a student is bord and what the best way to get your ation and get back inorested.
If all people are diffent then why do we all lean the same. Teacher can only teach the classe. But with this coding system you caued teach the eatch student indisaly. We have all had to reveiw the same subject ever year. With this coding syestm you caued tell how much a studen understood a subject.
We have all seen people bored to point of sleep and may have been there.
Knownig how to get people interested whauded be invauleble. being able to get you back invoved in the class and intorested in a subject. Modefing lesion to eatch peasion well keep you aways learnig.
Incocusion if this tecknoagy was inplomentedit caude change how you learn.
It cauded keep you envioled in class. Keep from repeting the same thig over and over agin. Kownig exacly how you lean and the best way to teach you. In a poulr tv show they say school not a place for smart people. Becase it dont change but the word dose. If a dum cartoon can see the proble why not fix it. | 1 |
The use of the Facial Action Coding System is valuable for students in a classroom to read. This new technology can tell many emotions that humans may show through their facial expressions. These emotions may include happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. It is an advantage for humans to have technology can detect the six basic emotions.
The Facial Action Coding System is able to "identify mixed emotions" (Nick D'Alto) meaning that the system can figure out more than one emotion at a time. This technology is valuable because not many humans can detect more than one emotion at once. The majority of the time a person can only tell if a person is satisfied or not. An average human can not detect six emotions an a time like a calculator.
In addition to this the Facial Action Coding Sysytem calculates a human's facial expression similar to a calculator. The technology used determines the subject's emotions by using percents, by using math to show the amount of possibly the subject's sadness or anger."She's 83 perecent happy, 9 perecent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." (Nick D'Alto). It is safe to say that no regular human being can caculate another human's emotions using math in this way. That is why the Facial Action Coding System is valuable for students to read, and know about.
This new technology is so impresssive that it can also detect when a person may become uninterested in what they are doing. "Could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" (Nick D'Alto). This new tech system reads whether or not a person is engaged into what they are doing. Isn't that magnificent?
Critics may say that in fact it is not magnificent or even impresssive. The facial Action Coding Sysytem is so advanced in its self that "Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile" (Nick D'Alto). Thus indicating that regular computers similar to the ones available at schools are not capable of calculating facial expressions similar to the ones being shown, by Mona Lisa. The author Nick D'Alto, also states that "computers need to understand that, too". Meaning that is would not hurt to upgrade the PC people are using, to use the coding system.
It is valuable for students to learn about the Facial Action Coding System. This sysytem was used to calculate the emotions of Mona Lisa, one of the most iconic art pieces created by Leonardo da Vinci.The subject in that painting did not show one particular emotion right away, because the subjects face was so copmplex. Mona Lisa's face was so complex they had to use an advances system to determine the subject's emoptions. Thus indicating why this new technology is valuable for students to read. | 3 |
Pollution
The cars in the world have created a serious problem of polution or also known as smog. In places like U.S and Europe states are trying to get citezens to stop using car on a every day basis and maybe use a bus or any other means of transportion to stop spreading smog.
Vauban,Germany is one place where citezens have to live withought a car. It is one place where cars are not allowed but if you really want one you have to buy a large garage worth $40,000 and buy a house. Which is the reason many of the residents dont have a car there and if they were to travel they travel by bike or any other eco-friendly transportion. Which would help enhance the look of the city and have you save gas money for a day or so.
In Paris,France they had banned cars for a few days till all the smug in the city is gone. People had to use plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers were aloud. Publick transportation was free of charge from Friday to Monday. Alot of smog had cleared up by Monday for the French party to rescind the ban od cars on Tuesday.
Bogota,Colombis had their third straight year ban of cars. With only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without Cars in the capital of 7 milion. Their goal was to have the citezens use more public transportion and reduce smog in Bogota. And because of that cause two more cities in colomia named Cali and Valledupar joined the Day Without Cars event.
In U.S lately since 2005 the car sales have been going down and down and the ownership rate of the typical has gone down at a fast pace. Expets in university of Michigan's Transportion Research Institute belice that there is somethign more fundamental going on in U.S. Many sociologists belive it will have a beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviorment, since transportion is the second largest source of America's emissions. Even in NewYork there has been more bicycle sharing and subway transportion to help get rid of the smog in the city created by millions of cars in the city.
People have been learning to help the earth by stopping the transportion of cars which has been becoming less and less of a issue so if more states and cites were to join together in lowering the usage of cars and maybe more sco-friendly transportion then maybe we could enhance our image of the earth from global warming. By using the public transportion given or just getting a hybrid car. | 1 |
Have you ever wondered if anyone can tell how you are feeling? Well now someone or a computer actually can!
According to text the author states that this new source of technology (FACS) can be very helpful for students in school while using the computers. I highly agree. I agree that this technology can be very helpful towards us students because not all us have fun doing work , espically on the computers. The passage states that a computer can tell wether your happy , sad , or even bored . I think thats very helpful because it can help us students to not be bored or to not be upset while doing the work on the computers.
Many times when students go into the computer labs most of them end up on game sites playing games while doing the work or most of them end up falling asleep . The main reason students do that is because there either bored doing the work or either tired and dont want to do the work because they are confused. The technology as Dr. Huang states that " it could then modify the lesson, like a human instructor. I would love that a computer can help you and read the lesson for you because I had plenty of teachers who were either boring or always had me confused on the lesson.
Last but certainly not least the technology can feel your emotion so that way they understand you. Most teachers would not understand why you are having trouble or why you do not want to do the work. I think thats very helpful on us because the computer can then help you improve on getting the work done .
I strongly agree on this new source of technology because its finally helping us students and even the teachers in school .
In all i say this technology known as FACS will be very valuable in many schools , espically if teachers are having trouble with students who can not do the work or are feeling some type of way.
Whenever this source is available
im sure it will be very succesful around the world and i suggest my school to use this . | 2 |
This computer system is something that could change alot of things including how students and other people feel about their emotions. This could change the lives of a lot of people and a lot of people could use it like poice officers or somebody in the FBI to figure out an investigation or even a doctor could use it to see if somebody is really in the mood they seem to tell the doctor they are in.
This type of coding in a computer could be good for people who are making ads for the people that are browsing the internet and they could be posting ads that people would look at while they are in a bad mood or a good mood. This Facial Action Coding System is gonna be very useful for analyzing paintings like the Mona Lisa painting by showing the expression of face it has on it. By looking at the expression of face on the Mona Lisa painting, we could see what mood the painter was in at the time of the painting and by the story it looks like he put a bunch of effort and detail into that painting, almost like he wanted to use it for this new software. I think that using this on students in a classroom would be very rewarding for the students because the teacher could use it to tell if the students are bored and then the teacher could change up the lesson and make the students follow along more. Yes I do think this is a very valuable software towards students and teachers in a classroom.
This could be the future of teaching, the teachers would stop having boring lessons, and the students would be more productive and they would listen so much better to the lesson the teacher is teaching.
This is where basically the software is determined to be valuable or not valuable. I think the software would be an excellent thing to have and start it off in all schools, they could use it when visitors buzz in, they could use it to analyze their faces and it would let the staff know if the visitor was nervous, mad, or happy. This would be excellent for schools and then it could be spread around to other places, like the local police station and other places like that. This is a very valuable piece of work, or software and it would be great to use on students in a classroom. | 2 |
I, Luke Bomberger, think that it would be wonderful if you participated in the Seagoing Cowboys program. I have three great reasons why you should participate. You would be able to take care of horses, young cows, and mules. You would get to sail overseas. You would be able to have free time on your way.
When I say that You would be able to take care of horses, young cows, and mules I mean that there would be 335 for all the types of animals. You would also get to have the chance to sail over the seas and have fun because you would be able to sign up with your buddy and travel together. The last reason is that you would be able to have free time to see things that people may never get to see in their lifetime.
After reading these reasons that I stated I hope that you consider joing the Seagoing Cowboys. These are the reasons why I think that you should join. You would get to take care of horses, young cows, and mules. You would also get to sail over the seas with you buddy or even by yourself if you want. The final reason is that you would get free time along the way to see things that people may never get to see in their lifetime. | 1 |
Venus is presented as a valid candidate for exploration in the near future. The author presents evidence to support that it could be possible one, but is it worth it? As well as many positives of exploring Venus, there are just as many, if not more, negatives to this expedition. This mission seems very dangerous considering what would be taken from this research. Venus may have been like Earth in the past, but now there are too many dangers in exolring. The author does not give a convincing argument that going to Venus is worth the risk considering the dangers that are present.
One of the main risks of going to Venus is the high pressure and temperature. At a temperature of 800 degrees farenheit and a pressure that would crush a submarine, it's safe to say that traveling to Venus could be an extreme risk. The only evidence given to argue that a visit to Venus would be worth it, is the evidence that Venus used to be most like Earth and it is close by. With the evidence given there is not a strong enough argument there to convince anyone that tackling these dangers to venture to Venus would be worth it.
For the good of science and research, yes a trip to Venus would be extraordinary. However with the dangers presented in this article, there is just not a great need to put people at risk for it. Venus may be an interesting point of research for mankind and maybe it will happen one day, but right now it shouldn't be an option. The author has valid evidence that show that these obstacles can be overcome, but there is no evidence to support that these efforts are worth the risk. | 3 |
Would having car free cities be easier for everyone, or would it make a huge impact on our society? It could go from commuting executuve or fewer soccer moms. Driveways, home garages, and street parking and forbidden in the experiment of the outskirts on the nee district. In a place called Vauban's streets are completly "Car-free". The only places that are not car free are downtown near the tram. You can only have two places to park and those two places are home, and large garages only at the edge of the developement it costs $40,000. Fifty-seven percent sold a car to move here, and seventy percent of families do not own a car. They say "When I had a car i was always tense. Immuch happier this way". Suburbs have linchpin called automobiles. Up to fifty percent in some car- intensive areas in the U.S.. and up to twelve percent of green house gas emissions in Europe. A home to 5,500 residents withing a rectangular square mile, it may be the most advanced experiment in a low-car suburban life. They say " All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change". A fast-growing coalition of hundreds of groups in the U.S. are promoting new communities that are less dependent on cars. The EPA is promoting a "car reduced" communities, and legislatrors are acting cautiously.
Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city, after days of near-record pollution. Odd and even numbered plates were threatened to keep there cars home or forced to lay of fine of $31. Just about 4,000 drivers were fined. Sixety percent of congestion was down. China is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. Taax policy favors Diesels over gasoline. Sixty-seven percent of diesels make up vehiclals, compared to 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in Wetern Europe. There is typically more smog in Paris. There were one hundred and forty seven micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter, and this is compared to one hundred and fourteen and 79.7 reuters found. According the the BBC, public transit was free of charge from friday to monday. The smog had cleared enought monday for the ruling french party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday.
Millions of Colonbians hiked, skated, biked, or took busses to work during a car free day yesterday. Cars have been banned for 3 years now in colombia, there are only taxis, and busses left there a seven million people in that city. The goal was to promote alternitive transportation and reduce smog, violatoors faced a tenty five dollar fine. They said "The rain hasnt stopped people from participating". "It;s a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". Cali and Valledupar, had joined the event. "These people are generating a revolutionary change". It has been seen to see one hundred and eighteen miles of bicycle paths. New restaurants and upscale shopping districts have ctopped up. Parks ans sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city. Rush hour restrictions have dramaticlly cut traffice. Uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks.
This is what i think should happen with out society. Car-free days would be a new thing for everyone. We have some pretty l;azy people in the world. | 1 |
Hi in luke and i want to tell and try to convince you of seagoing when you go out to sea you get to travel the world,go sight seeing ,and do the things you never did before because when I went sight seeing we did lots of stuff like played table-tennis,fencing,boxing ,whittling and lots more of fun stuff u get to travekl all over the world to places like,China, greece, and lots more,but there are some good and bad parts of traveling like there are lots of animals, it takes along time to get there and also there would be lots of dangers.
But there are some imorpartant things like you get to help other countries with their needs because after World War 2 euroupe was left with great disasters like it`s citys where ruined lots of people died and lots of fammilys lot`s their homes and to help these countries to recover. You woyuld help them with their food supply,and animals,But we weren`t alone 44 other nations joined together to form the (The United States Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) and to join the Sea going cow boy you would be doing these countries a huge favor because whaty if we had a Worl War 3
the people would count on you to help them with this. This is opportunity of a lifetime.
And I hope you`ve considerd joining seagoing cowboys. | 1 |
This article is about the unmasking the face on Mars. So the people went to Mars were Garvin and his other friend that went. They took pictures and they seen a face.
Now Garvins' friend said it was a alien that had done this. But there were no proof that aliens did this. They saw no movement on planet Mars. So they called it Martian mesa. On the red planet name as Cydonia. That's where it happened. The face looked like an Egytain Pharaoh. Something funny happened to Mars around/about 25 years ago. Now if I was up there I would start researching this object. Knowing what this was. Where it came from and other things that are important to the shape figure.
So now we know that the people up in space looking at this object are saying it was something that has been there for 25 years, they don't know who done this. All the NASA knows is that they probably know where it came from and things they aren't just saying the full information. So this was about unmasking face on Mars. | 1 |
Honestly, who would think there is "Alien Form" on Mars, I mean some of the people are just plain stupid, and some have facts and details. I think that these so called aliens are just Fallen Angels, because I read the Bible. These are simply just natural lanforms.
When you take a look at this structure it does look like a humans face. Then again, I dont think it is an alien monument because, from how far you look at it and how far they took pictures from it. I don't think aliens could have made a face a couple miles long, it would have to take years to do this. Anyhow, I do believe there was life on the planet, I know there was water, because they have lots of craters, canyons, and mountains.
My conclusion is, they were formed by natural occurances. As in the passage they compared the face to some features in the American West such as, Middle Butte, and Snake River Plain of Idaho in the West. These conlusions matched the face up to natural formation. The face formation is known as a messa or a plataeu. | 0 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring venus,"the author suggests that studing venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it present"because venus was probably covered largely with oceans and cloud have supported various forms of life, just like earth. Today, venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters.
The National Aeronautics and space Administration has one particularly 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 velicle hovering over venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way.
Therefore striving to meet the challlenge presented by venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself,but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. | 1 |
Why should you join the Seagoing Cowboys program? Well, there are many reasons. Firstly, you have many chances of adventure. Who knows what could happen, but it could be worth the risk. Another reason you should consider being apart of the great program is the exprience. This could be a once in a lifetime offer that may never apear again. Furthermore, the learning oppurtunities are endless, and maybe even fun.
The places you could go. It almost seems like a dream when thinking about the many chances and oppurtunities that may stand with an open door. You could meet some great, new people. See some great new places. Luke stated from the passage ,"Besides helping people, I has the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special." You have the life-changing chance to not only help the needy, but to see things some don't have the chance to. Not only see, but exprience.
Expriencing new things can be terryifying, but can be something incredible as well. You can visit museums, ride bikes through the city, dine at the fanciest restaraunts with some new-found friends. Not only can you do all of those things, you can become close with the animals and other workers while on the journey. You may be busy throughout, but think of the job you are doing for so many in need, It's all worth the work. Expriencing is also learning.
Learning new things is like having money in your pocket. You may need all that you learn one day, and you need to be prepared for whatever life throws at you. One of the many things for you to learn while being a Seagoing Cowboy is how to care for animals. Animals have needs like humans. They need food, water and sometimes shelter to survive life's harsh ways. Another thing you may need to learn is how to communicate in other languages, or maybe how to speak in that language. You may also need to learn how to cook different foods, or how to live in harsher conditions like some do in other countries. The possibilities are endless whe it comes to learning new things, sometimes they are as simple as doing the dishes. But we can agree that there is more fun things to do rather than doing the dishes.
Stated in paragraph 8, "Luke also found time to have fun on board, esprecially on return trips after the animals have been unloaded. The cowboys played baseball and vollyeball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading and games also helped pass the time." Finding ways to entertain yourself doesn't seem to be hard when you have many crew members who would eargerly accecpt the oppurtunity to play a good game of catch.
In conclusion, being a Seagoing Cowboy seems to be a great oppurtunity for many to exprience. The many fun activites, the great cultures, the amazing people, and new things to learn should be enough to convince someone to become a Seagoing Cowboy and do some outstanding things for those in need. | 3 |
People over the years that have been talking about cars that drive themselves have found this topic very interesting because of the phrase" Cars that drive themselves". Yes it sounds interesting and very cool and far into the future but there are downsides to this idea and there are some good sides. It depends on the people that you ask because some could say oh no way! Then there are some that could say oh yes way! Then you have to think of it this way, are these futuristic cars even safe for humans to be in?
Driverless cars do sound really cool to me because then you don't really need to do anything but sit back and watch. Then again I just don't think that I would want a car that drives itself only because of the dangers it kind of puts you in. For example, in the passage it states that these cars have all of these sensors on it that can keep you safe while you're driving it, well what do you do if while that car is driving and one of the sensors malfunctions and there is a car running a stop sign while it's your turn to go what do you do? You won't even see the car coming from the side of you and that sensor malfunctioned so it can't alert the car then you get smacked into by the other vehicle. These cars do come with very dangerous factors and possibilities that can happen at any given moment. So yes these cars are cool but I would never get one for myself.
In paragraph two when it talks about how television and movies have been fascinated with cars that drive themselves, I think it can be a bad thing for them doing that. That's because the way movies and TV portray the driverless cars is so unreal but others who don't understand that well, they could be in a good amount of danger. For example in the movie Transformers, every single one of those cars drive themselves. They steer themselves, they can open their own doors, they can do all of this stuff and someone who actually believes that that is what these manufacturers are coming out with, then they are wrong because they think that it will be able to do that stuff and while they're distracted BOOM! They just got t- boned by another driver because the person wasn't paying attention. These cars could really cause a lot of danger to society.
Driverless cars are way too dangerous to me, I feel like people would be irrisponsible with them and cause harm to the community. I'm against cars that drive themselves for right now until they can proove to me that these cars are 100% safe. Like we all know today there are crazy drivers out thtere and with them on the road with a car like this, that could put a ton of people in danger. To help prove my whole point in paragraph 9 it says that "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer"? Well here is the thing, it said if the technology fails. That means that there is a chance of the technology failing and causing harm, just like a lot of other technology can do. For example, some sort of saw to cut wood or metal. If one of those things malfunctions and a blade goes flying it could hit someone and easily kill them. Not all technology is 100% fool proof so that is why I wouldn't trust this driverless car.
So once again I do not support the creation of one of these driverless vehicles because of a safety issue. Even if this car does have all of these sensors on it that doesn't mean that it is totally safe because you still have all of these other crazy drivers on the road that could potentially smack into if they aren't paying attention or even if you aren't paying attention. Yes in the movies these cars do look really cool but I don't think that they need to be created and brought into real life. I say that we just stick to what we already do. That's having actual people drive the car instead of having a computer programmed into the car driving it. Now I know people don't drive 100% either but what if the technology fails and someone dies in a crash? Then what do you do? You definitely can't blame the person for something that a company made malfunctioning. We the people just need to stop and think about what all could happen if you let a computer drive your two to three ton vehicle. | 4 |
Driverless cars have seem to have made a name for themselves throughout history. Not only have you seen some driverless cars on movies, they are actually being tested for human use! Even though it seemed to be some kind of fantasy, it is coming, and coming fast. Driverless cars should be created for humans to not only avoid accidents but for other uses.
The most common use for a driverless car is safety. Humans are fond of making mistakes, its nature. Sooner or later, driverless cars will take care of accidents for you. Some are being tested by Google, BMW, and GM. Though, none have been released for public use, many have been able to test with some driverless cars.
The convenience of driverless cars can be a full list. People who have jobs one day will run late. If so, that one day can be taken care of by a driverless cars, not only getting ready in your car is a convenience but a blessing. It could and might just save you your job! Many laws are enlightened to keep both your hands on the wheel, but with driverless cars you don't need any. Just think of the things you could do in a car driven by a computer.
Safety has seemed to be a problem with the cars being built lately. Some driverless cars have had malfunctions here and there. Cameras have been installed inside and outside of cars to see where many occur. The side of the car is the most dangerous to get hit by. Creators of these cars have made the car resond to computer-based brakes. These special brakes not only are more powerful but also much more quick.
Driverless cars will be out before you know it, and maybe some day everyone in the world will own one. The world is changing in many ways to reassure safety and innovation. Creators of these cars are very optimistic when it comes to the statistics for the cars. Not only will innovation be powerful but a key point to the future of these cars. Driverless cars will be the future of cars someday. | 2 |
This artical is telling us how Venus get called " Evening Star." Venus is a planet in our solar system not everyone knows that because some people don't care.
But what people didn't know about Venus is that humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to Venus. The thing about Venus is that everytime we send a spacecraft is only lasts for a few hours. They're going to try sending more spacecrafts because "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limitdating endeavors"
When they called Venus "Evening Star" beacause during the evening you could see Venus so clear. The reason why you could seen Venus not just because how bright Venus was but also because Venus is closer to us then you think. BUt the point of the nickname is because Venus is a misleading panet in our solar system.
We say that Earth and Venus are twins because Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. People might think that when we say twins they might think that everything is the say on Venus but nobody know how Venus looks like because everytime we send the spacecraft in only last for a few hours. Never enough hours or days to see everything we want to see and view. The speed of Venus "means orbit the sun at different speeds." This probably mean why not spaceship don't last for very long in Venus.
"The atmosphere on Earth 97 percent dioxide blankets Venus." Which makes that it's going to be more hard than we thought. Even though it might be more complicated we're still going to find a way. We want to know everything on Venus
So what are going to try doing is keep sending spacecrafts because" Our travels on Earth and beyond should not intimedating endeavors" what they mean by this is that they aren't going to stop untiul they find a way to be on Venus longer than a few hours. | 1 |
The Electorial College should be abbolished. Paragraph nine of The Indefensible Electoral Collede by Bradford Plumer states all the reasoning you would need."According to the Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore-thanks yo the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now." The Electoral College is not fair and we do not like it. we should have the right to have our oppinion out there and not tweaked around by people we dont even know.
Why you ask do i feel this way? Well my answer would be in paragraph ten of Bradfords section. "under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Thats not fair! As an american Citicin i have the right to vote and if my vote is not counted for, well thats just not right. If i do everything im suppose to but yet dont get to voice my opinion whats the point? That is why!
To sum it all up i will give you one final reason why the Electoral College should be abolished. Paragraph 13 of The Indefensible Electoral Cllege. "At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-takes-all system in each state, candidates don`t spend time in states they know they have no chnace of winning, focusing only on the tight race in the "swing" states." If i dont even get the chance to see who im voting for why should i even vote? If my opinion dosen`t even matter why should I care? The Electoral College is irrational. It`s unfair, outdated, and it needs to be brought to an end.
So can you explain to me how this is fair? Do you really thing that its okay to treat the american people like this? We are all equal through our freedon, tharefore we should be treated that way in every way. Thank you for your time. | 2 |
"Venus is the closest planet to earths in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." The author is sayin sinse venus is basicly another copy of earth will extra extreme features, we should still look into it. Venus are acid rain, 800 defrees fahrenheit and has only 3% of oxygen and 97% carbon dioxide. "Astronomers are fasinated by venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in out solar system. Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth." The aurthor explains why people are so interested in venus and why they want to study and look more into the planet and its possabilities. Now people know that venus is not fit for life forms now. Even people who have gotten close anough to venus couldnt get even close to study the surface of venus. They dont get a whole lot of time to look at venus because of its light and how bright it is, if people attempted to take a photo of venus it would not come out how they wanted. They only way we get any idea of venus and its surface is from the human eye. We are never able to get close anough for samples because we would need to get extremely close and we cant because of its heat, gases. Venus could easily burn through most metals from earth, but astronomers think using old technology or a mechanical computer could help figure out more on venus. The mechanical computer actually doesnt involve electronical equipment. Thats how the parts to the mechanical computer is made, is by heat, pressure and other types of forces. People think just because its dangerous to go to venus, doesnt mean we cant attempt it. They also say, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." Telling us that its not possible and if you think about it, it could happen and can be possible to travel to venus. NASA has been thinking of ways to build a ship that could with stand venus and its heat an pressure, and how to make it safe anough to be able to get there and collect supplies and leave without being in any type of harm. | 1 |
Dear State Senator,
Every four years, the time rolls around to elect a new president of the United States. Surprisingly, the president is actually not elected by popular vote. Instead we have something called the Electoral College. The Electoral College is a board of electors who vote directly for the President. In source 1, paragraph 1, the Office of the Federal Register informs us that "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress." Seems unfair doesn't it? The Electoral College needs to be eliminated because of the risk of a tie and the unfairness to voters.
Although a tie seems unlikely, we have had some very close calls in history. In source 3, paragraph 18, Posner reveals that "A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538-is an even number..." If there was a tie, the election would be given to the House of Representatives to decide, in which each state gets one vote. In source 2, paragraph 12, Plumer shares that "Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyonming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters." So, in the case of a tie, the outcome would be largely favoring small states over big ones.
The next reason why the Electoral College needs to be eliminated is because of the unfairness to voters. In source 2, paragraph 9, Plumer tells "...according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now." This is an example of why the electoral college is unfair. The majority of the people voted for Al Gore, but he still lost he election because of the votes in the electoral college. This is stated again in source 3, paragraph 16 by Posner-"...however, it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote."
Nevertheless, I do recognize that the electoral college does have some benefits to it. For example, the electoral college prevents the problem of neither party recieving the majority of votes. In source 3, paragraph 22, Posner explains "...Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent purality of the popular votes..." Another benefit of the electoral college is the winner-take-all method. This causes candidates to focus their efforts on the toss-up states; voters in these states are more likely to pay close attention and make the most thoughtful decisions about who is the best leader of our country.
The best choice to ensure the future sucess of the United States is to get rid of the electoral college. Even though it does have some benefits, the cons out weigh the pros. This system is unfair and old, and the majority of the people have agreed that it needs to go.
Sincerely,
Maggie Lyons | 3 |
Do you own a car? Have you ever driven one? Many people would answer yes to these questions, and would agree that cars , in fact, are very useful. But have you ever thought of the adavantages that would occur if we limited car usage? While cars are very useful, they also have lots of negative side affects that come along with it. Cars accumulate lots of pollution in the enviroment and stress to humans. Also less cars, results in less traffic, which means you will be wasting less of you're life waiting to get somewhere and actually being there in the moment. Whether you realize it or not Americans are already starting to cut down on car uasge. In the article "The End of Car Culture" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, it even states "recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by."
The world has been struggling with pollution for quite some time now and has been trying to come up with ways to cut it down. So why not start with where it derives from the most? Cars. Pollution by cars got so bad in Paris that they had to use license plate numbers to decide what cars could drive on certain days! But what did happen was "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog." (Duffer). That is amazing! Just five days of less car usage and the smog went down 60 precent. Pollution would drop in great precentages if we just cut down car usage a bit. Pollution will always be harmful to the world, but steps should be taken to harm the world as little as possible.
Stress is something everyone experiences, but it is safe to say that everyone could do with less of it. Cars cause lots of stress to humans. A city in Germany does not allow cars and a women from the city says "When I had a car I was always tense." (Rosenthal). She is much more relaxed now and does not need to worry about all the stress that comes along with owning a car. Another person from Bogota, Columbia, where they have a car-free day, says "Its a good opportunity to take away stress..." (Selsky). People all around the world are reporting that their lives are a lot less stress free when they do not own cars. Stress is something that can be very damaging to a human when in large amounts and just cutting down on driving takes away lots of that stress.
Everyone has been stuck in traffic from time to time, and for some people in small cities, five minutes could be a long time to be stuck in traffic. But for some people in big cities like New York City and Los Angelos, people waste hours stuck in traffic! When you accumulate all those hours stuck in traffic, that is a lot of your time wasted in just waiting to get from desitination A, to destination B. Those hours could be spent on actually being there in the moment at the destination you want to be at. "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009....." (Rosenthal), many people now-a-days just want to get to the place that they are going to, as fast as possible; whether that be by car-pooling, taking the bus, or biking. Car usage is already decreasing, but that advantage should be taken that people want to live in the moment more and car usage should be even more cut down.
Car usage may never be completely taken away, but it defintley can be lowered. The advantages and benefits of just less car usage is astonishing. Less pollution to help the world, less stress to help the people, and letting people live life in the moment more are all advantages the derive from cutting down on the usage of cars. It may be diffcult to let go of something many people hold on to so dearest, but it is a change the will benefit us. While cars may have its pros, its cons outweigh it in the end. | 4 |
Say there is a student in your class who is good but dosnt focous enough in class, you wish you knew what was wrong with him but he hides he is quiet. I believe the use of this technology to read the expressions of students is valuble. this can support teachers on helping understands students by how they truely feel and act when unseen. This shows what the teacher personally can do to help the student at their goals and focus in class at all times. It may also be a way to get to know each student because most students dont focus because they dont like the teacher. This is what i believe it would be valuable.
This will help teachers to help students when bored confused. Most teachers dont know when most students are bored or confused. Most teacher will just guess by seeing if their paying attention to the topic in the classroom. In the article, it explains a computer can figure out when a student is bored or confused said doctor Huang predicts This could help students in and teachers for a long period of time.
It help teachers gives their students to focus on work by seeing the real
facial expressions and when not faking it. Most teacher dont know what student facial expression means but with the facial action coding system the teacher will understand how their feeling and when your not faking it. In the article it says That your mouth is turned sideways when its faced sideways. This can also show when celebertys or politicians are lying.
Some will say emotions dosnt matter or not, what matters is students appearing to school and completing their task. This is false in my opinion. Teachers should want to understand students feelings because this will make students like the teacher more and help the students. This can go a long way in helping students face many problems. If this would to happen This must be in the schools.
Now with this you can finally figure out the problems of the students by their expression. This is my opinion on this argument. This will go a long way for teachers in my opinions. Do you think this can help many folks, I do.

Dear other Americans, I whish you to be a participant in the Seagoing Cowboys program. Unlike other jobs or programs, this program offers you to see the world while also helping others.
A nation like ourselves should not be lazy and do nothing while others in the other countries are suffering. We need to treat others as ourselves and take a stand for each other.
Now that World War 2 is over, we need to fix the mess Germany has made. Some families have cousins or even brothers there. We need to come together and fix this mess. Because when we all come together as one nation, we can achieve anything! From then on we must hope this does not happen again.
Now all I ask is for you to come join me and my colliges as we sail the seas. Maybe you can just take a ship to England to help there. But all we need to do is come together to clean up a mess.
Once you join you will not regret your decision. You will feel like you have achieved something, and you will get to see the world. This mighty journey is not for the faint of heart. Who among you are strong enough and smart enough to take this journey?
The Atlantic is quite an ocean, it will throw everything it has at you. Women are welcome to come to help on land, but the men are the only ones who should be on the sea.
Men are still allowed to help on land if they would like. When the journey starts we need a spotter, a few animal keepers, and a capitain. All of which are open to anyone whom may want it.
We will also have much fun on our way back home. You can play games in the lower decks such as, Table Tennis, Boxing, Whittling, and more. So in conclusion, are you coming with me? | 1 |
I honestly think that we don't need driverless cars. My reasoning for that is if the younger generation of people grow up on driveless cars how will they ever learn what it was like to grow up on cars that you had to drive yourself . All the research that these people are doing to try and make driverless cars actually work is extremely outragous.
They are using special designed tracks for the cars. GM used a track that was embedded with an electrical cable that sent radio signals to a receiver on the front end of the car. Engineers at a university tried something similar, but they used magnets with alternating polarity which can read the positive and negative polarity as messages.
With all of that It requires massive upgrades to existing road. It would also make the driver very bored behind the wheel. Most states make it illegal to drive cars like that. Some states on hte other hand like California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars.
Honestly I feel it is a waste of the manufactures time trying to create a car like that. For example if the car had a malfuntion and somebody got injured The company that sold them the car can be suid just as well as the manufactures. That is why I don't think that they should a driverless car. | 1 |
The face you see in the photos is merely an illusion to you. The face is a huge rock formation which resembles a head formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, mouth, nose, etc. There has been three photos taken of this rock formation since 1976, since the 1976 photo the camera resolution, meaning the focus of the camera, has improved. Since the resolution of these cameras have improved you can see clearly that there is not actually a face on the surface of Mars. It is just merely a large buldge of rocks.
The face you may have once saw is only a shadow of a rock formation. NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet to look for its sister ships possible landing sight when they found the rock formation, then they snapped pictures of the rocks. Remember the camera resolution was not as clear in this time period.
Due to the scientific studies and the fact of the camera resolutions we have found that there is not an alien life force on the surface of Mars. The only thing we've found are rock formations. The most recent picture taken was at least tens times sharper than the ones before, revealing it is just a natural land form. | 1 |
Should we the people allow driverless cars to be sold and manufactured? Yes, yes they should be manufactured and sold to the public because of how much easier and less hectic and stressed life would be in the future. Driverless cars should be allowed to be built and 'driven' in every state in the United States of America.
Driverless cars have a lot more pros than cons. With driverless cars that google cofounder Sergey Brin has designed and envisioned, these cars can go miles and miles with out needing to fill up with gas. Also they can get through tight situatuions since they'd be much more flexible than a bus. As Brin says, "[cars such as these] would fundamentaly change the world.". Google has modified a Toyota Prius and tested it's driverless skills; it has gone farther than half of a million miles with zero crashes.
The facts stand, driverless cars are simpler, smarter, and easier to use that we've ever thought before. This is the future; why stop it when you can embrace the change and hold on for the long run? Driverless cars must be made legal in the United States so that Americans can have peace of mind when going on long trips or even just driving to town. Make the peoples lives easier and all around better; give them driverless cars. | 1 |
Luke was a very nice man. He would always do anything for his friends. Luke had a long friend who had came by his place and asked if he wanted to go to Europe , and he said "yes I would love to come with you".
By the time they (Luke and Don) got there they discovered that World war 2 was going on . Everything there was destroyed .
They got asked by men if they would volenteer on helping them with the animals , and they said "yes".
They seen a flier about a job wanted and they deccided to sign up for it.
*Raining* When they started the job Luke was doing his work and he happened to slip down ladders and he fell down and broke a couple of his rib , and that caused him not to work for 2 whole weeks.
And he talked about all his fun times he had like, returning animals, and playing games.
And before he left he gratefully greeted them for the opportunity of the job. And he also made a speech that was said * Luke voice* "It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs". | 0 |
Studying Venus, while that sounds unsafe and a waste of time it's not. Venus has many things similar to Earth, and is speculated to once harbor life just like earth. "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." is an example of this.
Landing on Venus with humans is impossible, because of the amount of gasses and solar radiation along with the extremely hot tempatures. However, NASA is working on an idea to let astronauts survey the planet up close without actually landing on it. NASA has the idea to make a blimp like spacecraft that would fly thirty miles above Venuses ground leaving humans in an area that is barely survivable. "Venus has the hottest surface tempature of any planet in our solar system." and " The National Aeronautics and Space Administraition (NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus." are both claims from the article.
In conclusion The authors support of the idea studying Venus, while dangerous is worthwile. there are many dangers, but there are also areas for surviveable conditions. Although there is no way for humans to set foot on venus that doesn't mean there is not a way for people to get as close as possible. | 2 |
Studying Venus
Planets are a very interesting, Earth, Mars , Venus, and others are all planets in the solar system. Venus is an interesting one, and one that not much is known about. This is why Venus must be explored and have discoveries made. Venus is a planet that is worhty of being studied and there are reasonable factors as to why that is. The planet Venus would save time while visiting it, it is much like Earth, and if it was researched many important discoveries about the weather could be made.
Venus is worth being studied because it is one of the closer planets to Earth. It is a planetary neighbor to earth. In the article ,"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it states," Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel" (Par. 4).Because Venus is a closer planet to Earth time could be saved and there would not be a worry about time being lost as if traveling to a different planet.
Secondly, Venus has similarties to Earth, "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters" (Par. 4). Just like on Earth Venus also includes the same quality land features. Going to Venus and discovering the way the land features form would be a magnificent thing to discover and being able to see how the earthquakes and natural disasters appeasr.
Lastly, while exploring Venus, reasoning for the temperatures and dangers of Venus could possibly be prevented. If someone was to discover how to prevent the dangerous factors then maybe there would not be a problem to land on Venus. Making that discovery is important and would help scientists learn more about Venus. The article states," On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Farenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth"(Par. 3). Taking time to discover Venus could be a great thing.
Although Venus is a dangerous Planet with crucial temperatures, exploring the planet could be very beneficial to scientists and multiple discoveries could be made. Venus is a planet that is worhty of being studied and there are reasonable factors as to why it is. The planet Venus would save time when visiting it, it is much like Earth, and if it was researched many important discoveries about the weather could be made. Contributing to the study of Venus may be challenging, but in the end would be quite beneficial and would make a difference. | 2 |
New innovative technologies are being created time after time. One of these technologies are the driverless cars. These cars create mixed feelings for most people. Either they like it or they do not. For me I do not mind it. So I support the development of the driverless cars.
If you think about it, it really is not that bad of an idea. In the article it says that the cofounder of Google can imagine a time when no one would have the need to buy cars because there would be driverless public transports. I believe this would never happen because people have the need to own thier own things and not share with others because they may think others are annoying. Even so, these driverless cars or at least computer driven cars have been an idea of the past at around the mid 20th century. In the article it talks about how in the late 1950s, General Motors tried to develop a car that used radio signals as a type of sensor. Now, with all the new technologies today, that can perform the task of sensing what is around the car more effectively. So effective that it may reduce the amounts of accidents. In the article it talks about how Google had cars out since 2009 that have driven for more than half a million miles without a crash.
For those who are not really good a driving and are afraid of getting in crashes, these driverless cars are the way to go. These driverless cars can help with breaking if you get to close to an object. These cars do not fully drive independently so you have to be on alert. In the article, it says that these driverless cars can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills. Which I think is a good thing because it gives you the chance to practice your driving skills instead of letting the car do everything by itself and your driving skills decline to a point where you may forget how to drive. Other technologies within the cars may also help you drive too.
From a vibrating seat to the car speaking to you, there is nothing you can overcome. Other applications mentioned in the article are flashing lights on the windshield, cameras watching the driver to ensure he or she is focused on the road, and heads up displays. All which helps you make sure your driving experiences are safe. In the article, it says that these options may be turned off if you feel the need to take on the wheel yourself if you have the confidence.
These technologies for the driverless cars are not ending here. Many car manufacturers such as Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan are coming up with much more ways to implament their ideas of the perfect driverless cars. So because of this, I and supporting the developments of these driverless cars. | 3 |
Do you think that you can tell people face expressions? Well if you can't right now i'm going to help you figure it out by the end of the essay. I think that it is good to use the technology to read the emotoinal expressioins on someones face. The reason i think this is beacuse maybe one student is sad and no one call tell that but maybe you can make them go from sad to happy just by talking to them. I can sometimes tell if someone is not felling happy or sad or just having a bad day.
In the start of paragraph four it says that we huamns perform this impressive "calulation" every day. I think that is very true about what it says. I think also that maby not everone can think that it is true but i belive it. The Mona Lisa demonstration it did bring a small smile on my face. Another good reason to have this is like what Huang said that it would recoginze someones face and it should tell the teacher if they are confused about that question.
I think that every thing that we use in this world that uses technology should be able to read your face emotional expression. In paragraph seven I think that its true that my home computer shouldn't be able to handle it. Also in paragraph seven it tell you to do face expressions and when i did it worked i was mad and then i was happy.
Everyone should try doing that and see if they like doing that.
So do you fell like you could tell someones emotions by me explanning it? I know that i fell like I can tell someones emotions right of the bat. I hope at least some of you know how to tell someone face expressions but if not its fine. did you have fun reading this. That is my support with doing it. | 1 |
Seagoing Cowboys, a great program. It is quit an adviture. You should go take a look for your self. See all the cool trips we take. See all the fun advitures we go on. How we meet new people. Come along and you will see.
The Seagoing Cowboys is a fun a way to learn about Eroup and about the end of World War II. On the trips you take you see amazing things. When I went I had the chance to see Europe and China. As you go on this trip it does not just teach you about that country it also teaches you about hard work. You can also find a way to have a good time and meet new people. On thins ttrip you will find it is a good way to learn about how people had to live and how it was hard in 1945 for many people to live and have food, as compared to now when everyone is walking around with a iphone 6 and drinking starbucks with lots of food and money. It will show you that you have to work hard for what you want. That back then nothing was handed to you on a silver plater. If you go on the trip Seagoing Cowboys you will find that it may take a lot of hard work but it can also be fun. Mostly when you are returing form trips and there are not animals on deck with you. Evryone playes Baseball and Volleyball games in the mptey stalls where the amimals sleep and stay on the trips.
What I think is that everyone should get this cool opertunity to be able to go and have fun and see what life was like back in 1945. It would be a fun and cool trip to see what you had to do and how you had to work. If you take my advice you sould go on this trip and go live in 1945 for a little ad have some fun, meet new people, and see some new places. | 2 |
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is an amazing thing to do. You get to do all kinds of stuff on the sea. You get to do stuff you don't even think of doing. Here are some reasons why I think you should join us and become a Seagoing Cowboy.
One of my reasons why I think you should become a Seagoing Cowboy is because you get to have so much fun on the boat or other places you stop. You get to help animals, find new people, and when you drop the animals off at the location, you can even play games in the stalls where they were held. Another fun thing you get to do while being a Seagoing Cowboy is going over-seas. Going over-seas is an awesome experience. I crossed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and the Pacific twice.
The second reason I think you should become a Seagoing Cowboy is, because of the sightseeing. When you see those amazing sculptures or ruins of what you know what they were, you can take pictures in your head and tell people stories of what yoiu saw. A couple of the sights that I got to see were, the Acropolis in Greece, I got to see China, and I also got to see Europe. Seeing these things changed my life completely.
My last but certainly not least reason is that you get to be with animals the whole ride. Sure they "cost" some responsibility but they can be fun to play with. Animals are amazing creatures and getting to spend along time with them will make you never wanna let go. When you're on the ship, and you're heading to your destination, you can sometimes get lonesome. But don't forget you have animals to keep you not bored and get your responsibility up.
Seagoing Cowboys are amazing jobs that you can do. Even if you don't like adventures this is still an amazing job. People need more adventures so if you're olne of those peopled, join the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 3 |
Driverless cars are not safe they are not safe because the car is driving it's self, but a human still has to be holding the wheel. There could be more accidents like this then normal. People are not going to be able to drive if it comes to the point where all cars are driverless some people would agree, and some would disagree like in this story. The cars can only handle driving functions up to 25mph how it says in paragrapgh seven. Some states also dont like the fact that there are driverless cars.
In some of the states it is illegal to do a computer test on the cars this is stated in paragraph nine. Some of the cars have been driverless since 2009, but not all the way. If there's an accident it would be the technology, technology is always not correct. This is not a good idea some of the people would get bored how Dr. Werner Huber said.
Driverless cars would change the world how it's stated in the first paragraph. Why drive then? Why not ride a taxi, bus, or train instead of having a car that you can not drive. They should not make every car this way just some, and leave the rest how they are. That way there won't be arguments with other people. | 1 |
We should keep our method of chosing a president even though many dont agree because of a few reasons. One, big states. Two, avoid run off eclections. Finnaly, to determide the certainty of outcome.
First, the issue of big states. States are put in two catogories, big states and small states, accoring to population. Presidential candidates give more of their attention during the campain to the larger states. As a result of electral college the big states have more elctors and thus more votes. For example, in Forida, the popular vote was extermly close in 2012, Obama who won, got 29 electoral votes. If obama had spent that time in Wyoming, he would have only had gotten 3 electoral votes.
Second, to avoid run off elections. Using the eectoral college we avoid the problem of elections where no candidate receives a majority. the electoral college can procuce a clear winner rather than pressure when no canidate wins majority and complications of the process. Two examples of this in 1968 and 1992 with president Nixan and president Clinton. They both had 43 percent pluarlity of popular vote, while winning a majority of elcetoral college.
Finnally, to determine Certainty of outcome. Since, almost all states have electoral votes on a winner takes all basis, even the slightest pluarlity in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in tht state. Although, it is possible to have a dispoute over the outcome of an electoral colege, for instance in 20000, it is much less likley than a dispute over the popualr vote. And even though a tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes is an even number of 538, it is extremly unlikey to happen.
You could argue that the method of slecting a president through Electoral college may turn off potential voters for a canidate that has no hope if carrying their state, knowing their vote will have no effect. Then they might have less incentive to pay attention to the campaingn. But being realisic, no voters one vote swings a natioal electon, and about one half of the eligable American population did vote in 2012's election.
In conclution, the reasons we shoud kee our current method of chosng the countroies president is becuause of big states, to avoid run off elections, and to determine he certainty of outcome. Even though some dont agree it has been working for us in the past an can contiue working for us to chose our president in the future. | 3 |
The face on mars was not made by aliens or anything else. The details from from the old camera made it look like a face because it was blurry. They told people about the face and showed to help make money for Nasa. it was made naturally from volcanoes and other things like sand storms. It would be impossible for aliens to do it from this distance and make it look that much like it from a bad camera.
The detail from the camera made it look that way because we didnt have the best technology back then than we do now. Also, each year we got better technology and it started to make it look less like a face each time. In the story before paragraph one it show pictures of each year they took a pic of it and it slowly became less of a face. Once we got better technology it made stuff much easier for us to see and tell if it was made or it was just a coincidence.
Next, nasa told everyone about there discover and that made a lot of new movies and magizines come out from it. they wanted money so in paragraph five they talk all about it and about how they wanted stuff to happen. People thought they were trying to hide somethings about aliens making the faces as proof. The people wanted know a lot about this and waited for the pictures to come up on a website and many was disappointed.
After, that face is made out of it sand and mostly rock from volcanos when they burst into flames and creates land forms. The wierd shadowing is comeing from all the sand around them and makes slight shadowing on the face to make it look like a face. it took many years for them to find something like this and then they realized it was just a landform. The only way for smoething like that to happen is by luck not aliens because aliens didnt do anything here or on mars. the sun was a big helper in making the face because nothing could cause that shadowing to happen on mars.
I know that some people beleive that aliens are real and some people don't beleive in aliens. I kind of get why people think that in the first place because what possibly can creat such huge thing that looks like an humans face. All you have to do is think about it because it is impossible for there to be aliens around us. We are to far away from other life to be found by aliens; there are trillions of trillions of stars with more planets by them. The possability of them finding us so fast is merely unbelievably impossible in my opinion. So aliens did not make the pyramids on earth and they did not make the face on mars .
Lastly, the face on mars did not get created by aliens; it was created by nature. The only reason we thought we saw a face is because of the old camera that couldn't see it without blurring stuff out. the main reason they told people about the face is just to make some money for nasa in the first place. The face is not made out of metal or some alien material because all it is made out of is rock and the red sand that is on that planet. That is why aliens didn't make it because they couldn't of because they aren't real. | 3 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because Venus is a challenging planet to study. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system.
Venus is a challening planet to study because of the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. The temperature's average is over 800 degree fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater then Earth. In the article it says, "not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." This means that no human can survive the landing for more than a few hours because Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. The weather on Venus can cause for volcanoes to erupt and powerful earthquakes to occur. This shows how Venus is a dangerous planet to visit.
Venus is a worthy planet to visit because Venus still has some features that are analogus to those on earth. It has a surface of rocky sediment and includes features like valleys, mountains, and craters. In the article it says, "Venus has been the most earth-like planet in our solar system." Venus was covered with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. This is why Venus is like Earth's twin. NASA has an idea for humans to study and visit Venus in a safe way by going in jet airplanes. The jet airplanes would travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms. A vehicle would avoid the ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. The temperature would still be high about 170 degrees fahrenheit but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on earth. This can help humans survive. This would be a safe way for humans to visit Venus.
In conclusion, the author suggets that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because it explains how Venus is a dangerous planet to visit but humans still continue to study it. | 3 |
The discovery of the Face on the surface of Mars was thrilling for the public. As a scientest working for NASA, I am constantly debating with others whether or not the Martian mesa commonly referred to as the Face was created by aliens. Many people think that it was created by aliens. However, I disagree with the fact that the Face might have been created by aliens. It is simply another Martian mesa located in the region known as Cydonia.
One of the main reasons the Face was not created by aliens is because there are multiple Martian mesas throughout Cydonia. Martian mesas are commonly found throughout Cydonia, and it would be logical to think that the Face is just another Martian mesa. The only difference between the Face and other Martian mesas is that the Face contains unusual shadows making it look like an actual human face.
Not only are Martian mesas commonly found in Cydonia, pictures taken by spacecrafts have proven that the Martian mesa does not look like a face. Although many people have said that the photo taken by the Viking 1 in 1976 resembles a face, unusual shadows made the Martian mesa take the appearance of a human face. Also, the photo taken in 1976 by the Viking 1 does not have very good resolution. In order to see the Face, the photo taken in 1998 by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) had to be taken through wispy clouds which has led some skeptics to believe that the alien marking were hidden by haze. However, the photos taken in 2001 by the Mars Global Surveyor are much clearer and have much better resolution. These photos reveal the truth about the Face; it is just another Martian Mesa.
In addition to the fact that the photos reveal the truth, it would be illogical for NASA to keep life on Mars a secret. If NASA was to announce to the public that life on Mars has been found, it would significantly help NASA. More people would support NASA and hope more would be discovered about the life found on Mars and would encourage the government to provide NASA with large amounts of money to learn even more about life on Mars.
Although it would have been cool to know that the Face was created by aliens, there is too much proof to support the fact that it is just another Martian mesa. With such advanced technology in use today, NASA will hopefully make huge discoveries in the near future. | 3 |
There are a lot of advantages on why we should limit car usage. Limiting car usage to save money will help alot of families out because you dont always have to spend your money on buying a new car everytime it brakes down haveing to buy a car when it stops woking is a lot of money like $40,000. You can be using that money to buy food for your house or buying new parts for your car. Plus you would probably have to find a place that you can put your car like a garage at work or a parking lot that will have to fit millions of cars at a time.
In Vauban,Germany 70% of the people do not own cars and 57% sold a car just so that they can move to Germany. They have only sold them because in Germany there isnt alot of room thats why they have to descrease the usage of cars too. In the united states some people dont have cars because of the gas price or because they cant really aford a car. In Bogota,Colombia millions of colombians either have hiked,biked,or took buses on a car-free day to aviod traffic jams. There for car usage should be limited. It is also a good way to take away stress and air pollution tyo help the earth out. Also not a lot of people care about getting a listens because they find it better to walk or car pool with friend or use public transpotation so that is really helping out our planet because on less person means less on polluting the earth. But the only bad thing is that when they have children they are going to have to buy cars so they can beable to take their children were they need to get to like school or some kind of sports practice. So limiting car usage is good for the community and pedestrians, bicycle can be a good way to get places it saves time , lowers emissions and improves safety so there are no more traffic jams. | 2 |
After reading the article " Unmastking the Face on Mars" the
Face on Mars is not created by aliens it is just a natural landform.
If the face on Mars was created by aliens that is "Evidence that NASA would father hide..." other wise "authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." and "It certantly did!" after that they used the face everywhere it was a pop icon as the articale says. " it starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows--evern haunted grocery store checkout lines for twentyfive years."
Mars Global Surveyor went and took another look at the face and got ten times better pictures than the Vikings did " Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meeters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1979 Viking photo. As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digiral image three times bigger than pixel size..." meaning " you could see what they were!"
People were not satisfied so skeptics says that alien markings were hidden by haze but on the other hand "Thousands of anxiuos web surfers were waiting when the image fist appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.
Therefore the face on Mars is and could not be created by aliens at any point if it was NASA would want to keep that evidence hidden and would not have let everyone see the face. | 1 |
Technology has come a long way throughout the years. Technology has helped humans in many ways such as with work, studying, entertainment, etc. Technology has come so far that technology now has the ability to read peoples emotions. A new software, the "Facial Action Coding System," is the new technology that is able to tell peoples emotions. This technology has many benefits that it should be allowed in schools. Therefore, the Facial Action Coding System would be valuable and should be allowed to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom.
The Facial Action Coding System is able to read six basic emotions. These emotions are happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. The article, "Making Mona Lisa Smile," explains how this new technology works. It states, "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit." The technology works by making a model of a persons face and all 44 major muscles must be able to move like a human. In addition to, the text also states that, "For example, your frontalis pars lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises your eyebrow when you're surprised; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger." Therefore, the technology is able to read basic emotions humans have.
In a classroom, however, using the technology will be very helpful. For example, people are able to tell what another person is feeling due to the facial expressions seen on their face. However, people are able to lie about how they really feel, including students. The technology is able to sense when someone is confused. According to Dr. Huang, in the article he states, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Therefore, if a student is feeling confused, the teacher will be able to be sure that the child is confused and be able to aid the student.
The technology can even be able to help students if they don't understand a certain lesson. According to Dr. Huang, after he informed that the technology is able to read when a student is feeling confused or bored, he says, "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Every student learns differently and understand things in different way. Some students may not like how their instructor teaches and will need to seek help someway. The technology will be able to assist the student the way the student wishes to be assisted.
Students could really use this valuable tecnhology to aid them to success. Whether the student is bored or confused, students can count on technology to support them. Having technology that can read peoples emotions is insane. However, it is able to do many terrific things with students across the world. Therefore, the Facial Action Coding System should be allowed in a classroom to read students emotional expressions. | 3 |
In this generation we live in, a large number of people depend on cars. Cars are a huge help in society. They can cool you down on a hot summer day, or heat you up on a cold winter night. A place that would normally take a day to walk, a car can get you there in hours. It seems that these cars are the most helpful thing that has been invented, besides silverwear. However They are also very dangerous. They let out toxic chemicals that are slowly hurting the Earth. Thats why They're some citys that are trying to boycot cars. One example is Vauban, a city in Germany. The community is has giving up driving cars. Driveways and garages are forbidden in this district and if you look at the streets they are empty of cars. All of this goes to the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars tailpipes.
In the United States, the Envionmental Protection Agency is promoting car reduced communites and A few people are starting to act. Even President Obam's has ambitious goals to curb the United States Greenhouse gas emissions. The United States is the world's prime car cultures. However America's obsession with vehicles is starting to decrease. The number of miles driven in the united states peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily. Also as of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak. Difernt things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift. Is it possible a recovery is underway? The next years will tell. | 1 |
Cars, they are a part of alot of peoples everyday life. They alow you to get around easly whenever you need to, but what would you do without them. Some communitys are giving up cars like in "[Vauban] Germany [where]...[s]treet parking, driveways and home garages are generaly forbiden" (source 1). This may sound crazy but "57 percent [of Vauban's families] sold a car to move [there]" and "70 percent [] do not own cars' (source 1). One of the reson pepole do this is to reduce there emisions to help the enviroment.
Emisions can ahave a drastic effect on citys because, many people driving in a small area can lock the gases in the city causing smog. In Paris "[a]fter days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air ... On Monday motorist with even-numbered licence plates were ordered to leave their cars at home... the same would apply to the odds the next day" (source2). In places like this people don't like having days where they can't use there car, as shown by the "4,000 drivers [that] were fined" (source 2) But, in other places people like having a day without their car.
Places like Bagota, Colombia "cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permited for the Day Without Cars" (source 3), where people enthuaicticly use alternitive transportation to get to work. For some people not driving relives stress, a bussnes man living in Bagota says "[the day without cars is] a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" (source 3).
Even though cars may seem like an important part of out society today, a cultural shift may be leading america away from cars. "The number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter" (source 4) so even though you may depend on youer car every day in a couple of years cars may not be the main transportation for the US. So you may want to start thinking about using other forms of transport because the age of the poluting cars is coming to an end. | 2 |
This invention was desighed for computers to tell a persons emotion just by reading their face. Human are already able to do that today but these computers are about to tell how much percentage your emotions are.
'Making Mona Lisa Smile',is a great way to tell how students feel based on their looks. In the text it states,'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored.'Another good thing about this computer software is that,it can tell how a students feels about a lesson in a classroom. In the text it states,'Then it can modify the lesson,like an effective human instuctor.'This lets the teacher know if the class really understands the lesson given.
In this case face expressions and emotions are easier to distinguish. Not only will it help understand how a student feels about the lesson it can tell if they need more help as to being confused. This is a great way to make sure all students understand and keep them all on the same track. | 1 |
This Facial Action Coding System is weird. Why would anyone want to know what someone else is feeling or how their emotions are? To me that is personal information that I would want to myself. Plus I doubt that there would be a whoe lot a people who would put money into this to just see what emotion they are. That is just me though. What do you think about this idea? Would you spend time and money on it to just see your emotions and what mood you were in? I wouldn't.
If you keep reading from now on I am going to argue why this is a bad idea, because it is. I mean who would spend any type of time, effort, or money on this just to see what your emotions are or how you are feeling. Honestly who wants to know what facial expressions to use to show that you are happy, I think we already know how to be happy. We dont need a machine to tell us how to look happy. Obviously when someone is happy something great has happened to them or in their lives and they have a great big smile on their face. We also know when someone is mad, obviously when someone is mad they don't like to talk very much, and usually look like they are about to punch you in the face. For example in the text it shows you step by step what expression on your face we need to use to make us look happy, like no I know how to look happy or sad or mad, I don't need a machine to tell me how to do that.
So why do we need a machine to tell us these things when we already know them. Our world is just spending money on useless things and inventing usless things that our world today doesn't need. There is literally no point to the invention. Plus I don't think strangers would want us to calculate their emotions and how they are feeling right now. I mean those things are personal we don't know what their life is like or what they have been through.
To me this is what I am thinking. Is this really what they are spending our money on. The taxes we pay and all the bills we have to pay and they are speding it on these types of silly, usless inventions. Why? Just think, out of the whole world how many of us are going to use this? How many of us have the money to use it? How many of us would think its a great idea? Probably very, very, very few of us in the whole world would use this invention.
That is my take on this Facial Action Coding System. I dont like the idea of it. I think it it useless and would very seldom be used. What do you think? Do you agree with me, or not with me? Would you use it? Would you spend the money on it? Would you want someone to know how you are feeling and the emotions you are going through? | 2 |
Luke Bomberger was join to the program because his friend invine to go to Europe on cattle boat Luke could not say no because they are best friend and if he say no his friend would be sad.

In this essay, I will be discussing the non-existence of ancient Martians that theorists claim to be real because of a land formation that lots of people so passionately call "the Face". First and formost, Martians have been wafting around the population; because of the amount of time it has been around and all of the conspiracy, this has lead many conspirarists to go to extremes to prove that anything that anyone can believe in is real. For instance, now people are starting to prove that aliens are real because of a big face-shaped mountain on Mars. This is, of course, completely absurd to say the very least, due to the lack of evidence they have in corrispondence to the large amount of evidence that we at NASA already have. Really though-- all they have are sci-fi movies, fiction novels, and talk-shows-- when we have already proven that it is obviously just an odd formation (that with shadows, angles, and imagination) just looks like a face. After the Mars Global Surveyor flew by Cydonia one day in April, it was completely proven to be just your average land formation. Afterwards, skeptics still were not satisfied, even with the incontroversial evidence that all it was was a rock formation. So, we flew by AGAIN, just to prove that that was all it was. So, that was the complete and utter proof that this so-called "Face" was just a big rock in the end. | 1 |
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the auhtor did not make enough evidence and information on why it would be of great value to explore our twin planet, Venus. Most the article was relaying challenges, or risks, as some might say, and probable solutions to those risks. The part in the article on why it would be of great value to study Venus does not give us a lot of reason why.
For most of the articel the author was giving was reasons why there unmanned missons to visit and why a single spaceship has not touched down on Venus in more than three decades. One reason as he explain was Venus's atmosphere. Another was the enivornment of our neighboring planet Venus.
Mostly the other part of the article was soltuions to Venus's challenges. He talk about how NASA had an idea to use an blimp-like trasnportation to avoid Venus's harsh enivorment. He also explained NASA's othe plan to use mechanical computers some modern technology wouldn't burn up and melt due to Venus very humid temperatures.
At the end of the article, in the last paragraph, is where the author briefly gave he reason for why studying Venus would be a good idea. He brings up recieveing insight on the planet. Also he brings up the hunger human curiosity and that it will lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
Based on the information explained in this essay, the reason is now known why the author did not do a good job supporting why explorating Venus would be of great value. He mainly just explains the challenges and solutions to explore Venus. Hardly anything is say on why the value of studying Venus would be of great use. | 2 |
Online school lessons are not always the most exciting, nor uplifting. Students groan and moan about how boring or useless they are to their general knowledge. There could be a way to fix the boredom and overall spirit of learning. Nick D'Alto has written an article stating the positives of using new technology to find the emotions a face can hide. The usage of technology to read students' emotional expressions is a positive and efficient way to help them because it can prevent inefficiency, make students happier, and has the ability to cater to the emotions of the students.
D'Alto gives examples that reducing boredom can create a more efficent classroom. Dr. Huang of his article suggests that lessons could be motified in the benefit of students. He states, "'A classroom computor could recognize when a student is becoming confused of bored...'" Dr. Huang later states that, "'Then it could modify the lesson, like and effective human instructor.'" New technology can create a better lesson plan that in individualized for each student, making classrooms more efficient.
Classroom learning is not always happy or fun. Students are often prone to sleeping, procrastinating, and obstaining from the work because it is not interesting enough. The new technology D'Alto studied could make happier to learn or quicker to finish assignments. The text states that the emotion scanning technology could, ..."know when you're happy or sad."..."Then it could modify"..."like an effective human". These new lessons created by the technology could make more interesting or fun topics for students. Dr. Huang states, "'The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video cames or video sugery.'" This shows that the rise of new technology could potentially create a happier more efficient classroom.
Everyone knows students are a melting pot of knowledge. Each student has
strengths and weaknesses in learning. The processes of each teacher may not be able to efficiently cater to each students' needs. Nick D'Alto's article states, "'Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication.'"..."'So computers need to understand that, too.'" This note, by Dr. Huang in in response to his opinion on the modification of lessons for students. The new technology is stated to easily cater to the needs of each student by changing lessons and learning processes.
New technology is everywhere. Students and teachers may be able to utilize a new kind of technology that can increase the quality of lessons and learning. Nick D'Alto covers the topic of emotion reading technology that may become a great way to learn. New emotion scannning technology used to read students' emotional expressions is a positive and efficient way to help them because it can prevent inefficiency, make students happier, and has the ability to cater to the emotions of the students. | 3 |
Dear, State Senator I would for you to change the way presidents get elected to the United States of America. The reason for this is becuase, it would be much easier for the president, it would be easier on the states who have racial problems, and states who might cheat.
To back up my arguement, It would be much easier to abolish the electoral college. If the college was to be abolished then presidents themselves would be easily elected. Instead of electing 34 democratic electors. It would be fair to do that so that everything goes smoothly and better for everyone especially for presidents.
Next, it would go easier on states who have a bit of a racial issues. On some states it is diffcult to get elected because of racial issues. For instance, in Arizona there is a huge racial problem there and it would be difficult to elect different types of democractic electors. Thus making it difficult for Arizona to elect a president. In other staes it would also be the samething, just voting for the president would be easier.
My last reason, to abolish the electoral college is because of some states who might cheat. During election it is a diffiucult time because of every state wanting their president to one. That mabe the state would cheat the votes into elect those 34 democratic electors that will do anything to cheat. Another example, is in 1960 segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose popular John F. Kennedy.
In Conclusion, the Electoral college needs to be abolish because it would be easier to vote for presidents, also it would be easier for states who have racial issues, and for states who are unfaithful. | 2 |
