Here are some reasons why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys, You get to visit many places like Greece, Europe, and China. People would also have a fun and relaxing time on the boat. Luke found time time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. Cowboys got to play baseball,volleyball games, They also did Table tennis turnoments, writing, fencing,boxing,reading and whittling. It was more than an adventure for Luke too It opened up the world for him. ''It made me aware of people and other contries and their needs.''Luke said. That awarness stayed with him too. It took about two weeks to get there but it will be a very fun trip to go to snd relax,play games and do many fun things like visiting places you have never been to before like,, Anceint Greece, the tempels there and many more fantatic places that you would enjoy plus there is things to do before you get there. You have read about Seagoing Cowboys this was mainley about Luke and what he did it would be a very fun exoeriment too. He does many things before he gets to get across the Atlantic Ocean but it was worth it it would be fun for family and friends The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy, he says. What helps you though before you go you can help yourself by gelping out around a farm becuase there are many animals on board you can prepare yourself for hard work with the animals. You watch the animals clean the animals, and feed the animals too. But you do have to watch out becuase when it gets dark and you cant see when the waves pick up it will push you around and so Luke broke one of his rib cages becuase he was being pushed around so he couldn' work and help out at all. | 1 |
Imagine if your online school computer could analize if you are understanding your lesson on exponents or not? This could one day be possible. Prof. Thomas Huang and his collegue Prof. Nicu Sebe, are working on a new software that can recogize your emotions. It may know if your happy or sad and by knowing how you feel it will read how you feel about the subject. This technology would be of an imense help in virtual classrooms. This technology could also analyse pictures and videos taken before to see how the person feels while at a public event, or in a old family picture.This technology could help many fields including the advertising industry, as it could tell how you feel from different ads, and change the type of ads you see as suggested by your reaction to them.
However how would the computer know if we are happy or sad? "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D model of all the face". In the 3-D model our muscles are copied exactly and the computer analyzes how we feel based on our expression. As if it scaned your face at a family reunion where you don't to be there, but your smiling for the picture. How does it know if your smiling for real, or if your smiling so you don't apear bored in the picture? " In a false smile, the mouth is streached sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorius... these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful."
In conclusion Prof. Thomas Huang and Prof. Nicu Sebe new technology is a inovation that could help many different fields in many different ways. It would help people really see how people feel about a certain topic or person. It could help stores know when a person is mad or annoyed at their products or staff. This new technology would be a great partner with facial recognition working side by side to know how each person feels. This new technology would be important to an online classroom as with an online course you never really truly
understand if a person is frustuated with the material, or if a person really feels motivated and understands what they are being taught. This New technology would be a great addition to the teaching field, and would help students learn to their fullest potential. | 2 |
Are you thinking about joing the Seagoing Cowbows? If you are I got plenty of reasons why you shoud and also what you do in this program. Think to yourself what would you do in Seagoing Cowboys.
I think that you should join the
Seagoing Cowboys because it will allow you to expeirence and visit many unique places.
When you are on board the ship you can find many things to do and many games to play. Sometimes after the animals were unloaded the would play baseball and volleyball. In
On the ship there is many things tod o. Some people have to take night watch to stay up and watch the animals. During the day you have to feed and water the animals three times. If someone on that boat didn then those animals would be useless.
Luke was a Seagoing Cowboy and he did a lo og these things i said. Luke took night watch to watch the animals, that noght after ruturning his report in he fell down stair towards an opening of the ocean, but he caught himeself. Luke broke ribs so he could not work for a while. Also when he broke his ribs he found to have fun on the boat and off the boat. They could play games in the animals pen when they got unloaded. Like I said they could play games like Volleyball and Baseball.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy need s confidence and strngth, you oculd get picked to do any job but you dont know what it is. When your on the boat it is to late to go back becasue you are in the middle of the sea.
Joining the Seagoing Cowboys is an oppertunity to have fun make friends and explore. You can also go see new counties and got o unique places.
Some people can take that to heart.
Sometimes goi ng to a different country is like seeing something that you loved the most that you havnt seen in a while. That place you visit could be where your family originated from. Joining the Seagoing
Cowboys would be an amzing thin to do. Yes you would hae your ups and downs but you can always get back up. Just think if you join the Seagoing Cowboys you can do a lot of the things that you thought you could not do. That would be amazing. If I got the oppertunity to be a Seagoing Cowboy I would say yes because I like to push my limmits. | 2 |
There are many differences in telling which is a geniune smile and which is a false smile, and technology can help with differentiating the true meaning of smiles. The professors in the article help show how computers can understand what people like and dislike. The professors in the article explain how computers can identify facial expressions and the result could be a long term effect. According to Professor Huang and Professor Sebe, a computer would be able to identify if someone is faking a smile or is geniunely happy in their life. A computer that can recognize facial expressions can greatly help people by showing if they are unhappy or depressed, and show advertisements that people are interested in.
Faking a smile can mean multiple emotions are present. If someone is faking a smile, then that person could be depressed. In paragraph eight, "in a false smile, the mouth is stretched sideways ... using a different muscle." Computers and facial experts can tell if someone is unhappy by examining the subject's face and deciding whether they used their zygomatic major and the risorius muscle to smile. The subject's life is affected by an expert or computer telling the person that they are unhappy, which can lead to the person getting help. Achieving better health could all be from the idea that a computer is able to tell if someone is unhappy and a result of that is the person seeking help. In paragraph nine, "moving [one's] facial muscles not only exresses emotions, but may also even help produce them." Computers can recognize if someone is making a facial expression and that works by making emotions for the person to feel any type of feeling. Because of computers recognizing what a person is feeling, computers should be able to communicate with a person and express to that person what they are feeling or experiencing.
Advertisements also help show emotions. In paragraph six, smiling when a Web ad appears, might make "a similar ad ... follow." Computers can tell if someone is enjoying the advertisements and might add another similar ad that could be enjoyable for that person again. Advertisements can add to the health of a person by allowing that person to experience happiness and adding another ad to the web is just increasing their health. However it is different for a person in a workplace or classroom, according to paragraph six, such as a classroom computer can "recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Boring ads can decrease a persons health by making that person have less motivation to do their job or work. Advertisements have an effect on people's health in which so adds to why computers should be able to communicate with people about their feelings.
Computers should be able to communicate with people about their feelings, because it can help people greatly in the aftermath. Computers can help by discovering if the person is unhappy in life or can increase their health by allowing that person to experience a happy moment. A person who discovers that they are depressed from a computer that tells them, can expect so much. A person can expect to achieve happiness by seeking help. Computers also increase a persons happiness level from the advertisements that pop up on a computer. What goes to show is that computers should be able to continue communicating with people about their feelings for it helps people recognize the greater meaning in life such as happiness. | 3 |
Cars may have some advantages, but the world, would be a better place if we limited car useage. The benifits of limiting our usage of cars is, it will help improve the enviornment, there are healthy alternitves, and not useing cars as much will decrease stress that people have.
Decreasing our car usage will emprove the environment. In the artical "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, he says " Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog..." In France they banned even numbered liscence plates from driving, for one day, and one day was all it took for the high levels of smog to decrease. In another Artical "The End of Car Culture" by Elisabeth Rosenthal it talks about the decrease usage of cars throught the years, paragraph 34 says " If the pattern persists-and many sociologists believe it will-it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment." If the people keep slowing down on using cars, which scientist believe it will, there will be better carbon e,issions in the air, and the air will be better. Limiting car usage will help make our environment better.
Walking, biking, and skateing are all excercises that help you stay fit, but they are also a healthy alternative to cars. A artical published in the
Seattle Times called "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky describes the day that is trending all over the world, the day cars are banned. People in these countries, in this case Colombia "hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work" Banning car usage enchourages people to get up and walk, run, or bike because they can't use their car. In the town Vauban, Germany a car free town, people walk everywhere, because the town has no cars. In the town "...where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor." The people in this town are walking and staying fit everyday.
One last benifit of limited car usage is it causes people less stress. Heidrun Walter , a mother of two who lives in Vauban, Germany, says " When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier now." Once Walter sold her car she was relived, she didn't have to worry about making her next car payment, when she would have to get gas again, or how much money gas was. Getting rid of her car relived her stress. Not using cars will decrease the amount of stress in society.
Over all, limiting are car usage would greatly benifit us, it will help keep the environment clean, keep our people healthy, and it will cause people less stress. | 3 |
Science. Scientific. Fact.
These are the words you should have going through your mind as you wonder about the Mars landform, found by NASA's
Viking 1; The face. The pharaoh. The man on Mars. However, there are some who...Wish to believe.
To these folks, it is also the face. The
Alien. Martian on mars. These, are the people who we call conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theorists are nothing more than mere people who wish to emphasize something and twist it up to make it, of course, a conspiracy. These said theorists want to change the perspective and point of view via others, and themselves as well.
However, fact cannot be contained.
When it comes to the face on Mars, as previously explained, there is indeed, fact over opinion. In many aspects, not to mention. Landforms, shadows, and shading galore. In pictures, the face seems to contain basic details to give t the "person" type of vibe off. However, there is just one problem.
With the face being known as looking human, there are details still missing. Such as, the rest of the body. There would possibly be an outline of something more around the face, or where a body may be. We cannot go down and literally dig on Mars, thereore pictures were, or are the nex t big thing.
There is a lot of shadowing going around on Mars. The thick clouds, the different angles of rays of light shoning through.
This leads us to our final conclusion. The face is a landform. With the precise shadowing and the shape of some sort of facial stucture, who would know what to think. Blaming conspiracy theorists is not a preferred move, however, the theorists may forget to use fact. I believe, fact is that the face is a mere landform. An artwork of space.
Some, however, wish to believe. Maybe, we should let them. | 2 |
The invention of driverless cars is a really good idea. The driverless cars have many developments and improvements. Driverless cars can alert drivers to when something bad is about to happen. The cars are eco friendly because they use half the fuel that taxis use today. With all of the improvements it has, these cars will be one of the safest cars on the road.
With all of the improvements on the driverless car the car will be safer. They have invented a track that sends signals to a reciever on the front end of the car. The reason for this is the senors to alert the driver. The senors tell the driver what is all around them. They have developed senors to help alert the driver whne something bad is about to happen. The senors have become more advanced, and are able to detect and respond to the danger of out of control skids or rollovers. The information from the senors can make the car apply the brakes on the individual wheels and reduce the engine's power. The most important piece of technology is the Dubbed LIDAR. It uses laser beams to scan 3-D images of the car constantly. This allows the car to have a better response and control than a human driver alone. General motors has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger. With all of the new technolgy being developed, these driverless cars will be safer.
The driverless cars will be a safer car. These cars have been driven more than half a million miles without a crash. The makers of these cars believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliably safe. The reason for this is the senors to alert the driver. The senors tell the driver what is all around them. Another reason these are good cars, is that they use less fuel than the average car, and it will have more flexibility than a bus.
Overall the driverless car is a safer car. It will have the new technology that the other cars do not have. The senors will help alert the driver when there is something behind them or to the side of them. The senors help make this car a safer car for all people. People all around would want this car because it is safe for children and other people. They should develope this car because it si safe for the environment and for other drivers. | 2 |
Have you ever thought you seen something and you look really close and it's something else? Or have you thought something was one thing but it was different? That's what they think happend with Mars. They think there is aliens and that aliens are making faces.
I think people are going crazy. People are watching to many cartoons and they are starting to think that aliens are real. People on talk shows, books, and magazines are talking about it. There is a face on mars and they think it's aliens creating them. I think they it just happend from natural landform. To me it looks like an Egyptian-style pyramid. I didn't see any aliens in the photograph. There aren't homes where they could live. At first scientists thought that it was a Martian mesa, because that is common around that area.
What do you think about the whole thing? I think that people need to go up to mars and really see what is going on. So, we can go and show everyone this there aren't any aliens, and they are just a myth. | 1 |
I would say that driverless cars could be dangerous in many cases.
There could be an accident if there was a driver just going across the road and the driverless car malfunctioned.
The driverless car could crash straight into the driver no matter how people see it.
The article stated that driverless cars can't see the road themselves but they can sense when something is coming near it.
Even if a driverless car sensed something near it; if the car was going at any type of speed like 25 mph it would probably hit somebody that it might not have sensed.
Anything bad could happen with these new generation of cars, sticking to how regular things are is better than taking a risk of someone getting hurt.
The moral of my essay is to tell people that even if people say there is no harm done by making these cars, the truth is anything could happen and it could malfunction anytime.
My answer would be no to having driverless cars even if they made it a bit safer that doesn't mean it wouldn't accidentally crash into someone.
Driverless cars would work better as a gps not as a car that could move on it's own. | 1 |
The use of cars has always affected society greatly. There are plans constantly being added to better the environment without the use of cars. Vauban, mentioned in Source 1, can be the start of the car-less world we want to live in. As this expiriment becomes noticed by the world, communities will realize how beneficial this experiment could be. Think about a world with no cars. There would be less pollution and less gasses being emitted into the air. For example, Pairs has just banned driving due to heavy smog. After about five days, car traffic was down 60 percent. Limiting car usage should be implemented heavily because of the greenhouse gas emissions and the happiness of the citizens of Vauban.
To begin with, cars cause many problems and the most important being the emissions of greenhouse gasses. As seen in Source 1, some of the car fillled cities of the United States suffer from up to 50 percect of greenhouse gas emissions. Well-populated cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago could be in great danger. A highly populated city in Colombia, has a "Car-Free" day. The goal of this is to allow people to open their eyes and realized how many alternative ways there are to go to work. The implimented a fee of 25 dollars to anyone who violated. I think that by adding a fee, the outcome would be greater and more people would participate. This is a great idea that would open people up to other options. For example, on the third year of the car free day, two other cities joined Bogota. Sometimes we have to open up the eyes of others to really see the change. Also, parks and recreational areas have opened up, uneven sidewalks have been referbished, and most importantly the city has less traffic.
Continuing with pollution, Paris had a near-record of pollution, seen in Source 2. This led to the ban of driving. The ban of driving could be refered to as the limiting of driving. They set up a plan in which cars with even-numbered license plates couldn't drive on Mondays. The same occured for the odd-numbered license plates on Tuesday. They heavily enforced this by implimenting a fine of 22 euros if they used their cars. This idea could work here in America. It would open up carpooling and lessen the amount of cars on the road.
People such as David Goldberg, mentioned in Source 1, are pushing for citites to be less dependent on cars. Mr. Goldberg mentions the hybrid car. Even though buying a hybrid does not reduce the amount of cars, it does reduce the amount of green house gas emissions.
Seeing the happiness and comfort that the people of Vauban allows us to see what our society could look like. We could live in a society just like theirs, filled with nature. In the United States, the number of licenses has been going down each year. Now, this does not automatically mean that American citizens want to "be green". It could be simply because of the fact that cars are expensive, and because we are living in a rough situation. In conclusion, I believe that we should limit car usage for the advantages of less pollution and less greenhouse gasses. | 3 |
The face on Mars could never be created by aliens if it had then NASA would
have seen an alien by now this proves that the face had to be a natural cause. Jim Garvin head cheif of science for NASA Mars Exploration Program explained that even he thought it was a natural cause like the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
The landform he is talking about is a lava dome that is an isolated mesa that has about the same length as the Face on Mars. Jim and his workers have made some success in getting some good photos the first time they tried it, it was winter time on Earth so Mars had been covered with wispy clouds that covered some of the face up. The scientists have worked hard but stopped taking photos after two years on April 8, 200l it was summer time so Mars had been the clearest it could have been.
They took the photos with a camera of absolute maximum resolution the pixels comparedto the 43 meters in 1976, they were 1.56 meters in 2001. The truth is, is that the Face on Mars is a natural cause on April 5,1998 was the first photos that the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia. Michael Malin's team took photos ten times sharper then the original Viking photos to prove a natural cause. From 1976 to 2001 the new photos prove with the help of there new 3D altimetry NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft revealed the Face on Mars was really a mesa. | 1 |
The electoral college is how america chooses its president. The electoral college should not be how you think voting works but the complete opposite. It is a process that consist of electors who count the electoral votes. When a citizen votes their vote does not go directly as a vote for the president but it goes for the electoral college in your state. If that state has more votes for one candidate than the other then that state votes for that for that candidate as a whole. If the person I vote for doesn't get the vote for my state then that defeats the purpose of me voting. The electoral college takes away my say in choosing a president, the fairness, and it might have been put in the Constitution by the founding fathers but it is outdated.
The first reason why the electoral college shouldn't be used is because it takes away voters say in the decision for the president. If I vote for someone and the state doesnt pick him, that would mean my vote didn't count. That means i would now mean no one would even care about my vote. My vote wont even help make it a closer race. It's like my vote just vanishes into the air and is never seen again. If there are millions in the country and only 538 votes count. This is unrational to voters.
The second reason why the electoral college shouldnt be used is because it isnt fair. It is especially unfair because of the winner take all system in each state. Candidates don't even waste time going to states they know they cant win but only focus on swing states, which for one takes away the priviledge for the others that want to vote for the candidate to see them. It also takes away from the smaller states who don't get to put out as many votes as California with 55 or Florida with 29. Alot of states only have three votes and even though it could win or lose a races it still isn't fair to the people.
The electoral college was put into the Constitution by the founding fathers but they are not always right. The Constitution says all men are created equal but we still have had slavery. The Constitution has given us freedom of speech but once we step on school property that rule is taken away. The Constitution is not always the right way to go for everything. The founding fathers were very smart men but they have to think of how the country feels now because they were alive a long time ago.
In, conclusion the electoral college should just be put out of work because it is not the best way to elect a candidate, it takes away my say in the decision,the fairness, it was made by the great founding fathers but is outdated by how the counrty is now. Everyones vote should be out into play with the elections. | 3 |
The reasons of joing the program is first you got to be a great swimer if your on the ocean. Another reasons is you got to be scared of nothing or brave. Also you have to be tough. Beause in A Cowboy Who Rode The Waves luck creaked his ribs beacuse he have to check on some animals and then he fell and he thought he was going overboard but metal stopped him and he was happy to be alive. If you love to travle and be on the sea then this is a perfect job for you. On the job you go to new plarts of the world.
why you shouldn't join is because you might fall overboard and noone might noice that you fell. Or the ship might fail at working and sink and you might not have a boat incase that might happen. What if the ship gets hit and you all start to sink.
Luke said being a cowboy is much more than a adverture for Luke Bombeger. Also being a cowboy opened the world to him and he is greatful for that opportunity of being a cowboy. He also said it make him more aware of people in countries and their needs. When they return home they play game that help them pass the time like baseball,volleyball,table-tennis,fencing,boxing,and reading. | 1 |
I think Drivless Cars would be useful. I feel like they could help alot especially with people that may be handicapt now maybe they can drive. Driveless Cars are the furture and in the future I feel as if anything is possible. If you are handicapt from the waste below and you can move your arms then the Driveless Car could be for them.
Just because they sre handicapt doesn't mean they shouldnt be alowed to drive a car. Driveless Cars could probably stop alot of accidents and prevent damage from being done to something or someone else.
Driveless cars drive on their own unless they need help like in construction sites and around accidents then thats when hat person can help out, but, other than that a handicapt person could drive. Drivelesscars may make everything easier on anyone and evryone. Make sure to stay alert just becuase you aren't completely driving doesn't mean you get to sleep at the wheel.
In conclusion I think that driveless cars would be very helpful and I don't think it wil make us lazy it's just a way to help. Like what if you are coming home from work and you are tired, the driveless car would help you out, but, just like in a normal car you can't fall asleep at the wheel. You never know when tyhr car might need yiour assistance in a situation. In 2020 Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves. | 1 |
Hello there people we are the seagoing Cowboys and we would like you to join us on the high stormy waves of the Alantic,Pafic,and dont forget the artic sea!
The people really need your help getting them back food,supplies,animails. We already have 44 nations that have njoind us on this quest to help these countrys that need our help.
Do you have what it takes to beat Lukes record. Its more than nine trips on the open sea. No you will not be fightring in the war but if you get hurt and dont want to come with us on this wonmderful journy to see other parts of the world then thats ok.
Luke had this insadent when he cracked his ribs during a storm on night when he was going to go report to the captin. Im sure you will be ok.
This is once in a lifetime thing so dont miss out. Just make sure that youjr parents are ok with it. We only take 12 to 21 year old so dont miss out. Are you ok with going out on the open seas and taking care of aniamuls. Well if you do then be a seagoing cowboy!
Dont worry you loving parents at home we will have fun activitys while the animals are off at thier new home. If you parents like you can donate some animals to the other countyrys arcross the world! It would be a pleasure if we could have your kid help us get the sullpies the other countrys need becuse they are in ruins and they need our help.
We understand is you dont want to see your child go for a few months but this is saving those other countrys that are in ruins and need our help. Join the seagoing Cowboys and also beat Lukews record of being a seagoing Cowboy. These countrys are really counting on us to help brighten there life into gods arms.
If we dont save therse countrys from starvation or sickness. Please be a seagoing cowboys and save the day for these ruined countrys. These 44 nations need more help themn what that have. We need more animals more suplies then what we got now. If you can come and be a Seagoing Cowboy ythen we understand. Parents please let your kids help thje countrys that lie in ruins from this god unforsaking war. When we first started witch was when Luke was with us it was trhe year 1945. And is only be 1 year since and these countrys still are depending on us Seagoing Cowboys to save the day. Everyone in the counterys are dieing every hour if we dont get there in time to save the day for this unforgiving war. If we dont help these people then who will? Thats right NOONE WILL.
People will die if we dont help them. Thats why we need your help. Luke has claimed "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing Acorpolis in Greece was special." Luke has also said "We arrived August 14 the day the Pacific war ended." He was a Seagoing Cowboy for more than 9 trips!
That is the challange that your captin will have given to you if you chose to be a Seagoing Cowboy. The trip will be hard possibly rainy but you get to see other citys towns or even new countrys! That is what it would be like to be a Seagoing Cowboy. You would have a little time to do boxing,fencing,reading,whittling,Tabble tennis tournaments,baseball, and vollyball! You would have a ton. Of this to do if you get bored with No animals on boared to take care of while you are sailing the open deep sea waves of the Alantic,Pacific,or Articx ocean.
Just remeber saftey first because one time Luke was a Watchman on sea and he was supossed to check on the animals and he was going to go tell the captin about the hourly cheack up onm the animals when the wet ladder he was climbing down. That was BAM he fell of the ladder be sqid he was glad to be alive in the very sacary moment and thast is why we keep pushing the fact that safetyu first for our Seagoing Cowboys. So if you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy that just come over to the loading docks of your nearest city or town by the ocean. aOr if you already are living by the ocean then come down by the loading docks and get ready.
All you have to doy is sign your name on a sheet of paoer and wait for the next day and you will get a knock at the door. | 2 |
Why should you join 'Seagoing Cowboys' because you get to cross the Alantic Ocean 16 times! Not just that only, you get to take care horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. Just like real cowboys, instead you get to be riding a ship while taking care of the animals.
Also, as a Seagoing Cowboy you don't just take care of animals, you can also help people that needs help. By doing their jobs for them. When cowbys are done putting animals that had been unloaded they get to do their fun games, like playing baseball and vollyball games!
When you get served as night watchman you get check on all the animals every hour but have to watch out where your going because you might slip or fall down during night time. You have to be calm and wait because it takes long days to arrive the place they have to go. Crossing Atlanic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States takes 2 weeks and a month to get to China.
For traveling you get to see new places you never seen before! Like Luke seen the side of Europe and China! In China you get to see the castle in Crete and marveld at the Panama Canal!
I think being a 'Seagoing Cowboy' is fun when getting do to these things.Visiting new places, taking care of animals, different jobs for 'Seagoing Cowboy'. Also helping people in other countries for their needs makes Luke happy. | 2 |
There have two sides to using this technology to read student's emotional expressions. Eckman has classified six basic emotions: happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness, and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit". New software has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others. The new emotion-recognition software tracks thewe facial movements. By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions. Moving your facial musclles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them. The facial expressions for each emotion are universal, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression. Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. In fact, these are the instructions for a face that looks happy. It's all about those muscular action units. They even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one. If using this technology to read, the people won't influence their negative feelings, and can manipulate the degree entirely. Each expression is compared against a neutral face. But the computer can't influence clearly the feelings because they have some feelings and emotionals are so hard to illustrate. And if not using that, the people can show their real emotion on their faces, to an expert, faces don't lie, these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful. In fact, we humans perform this same impressive "caculation" everyday, you can tell how a friend is feeling simply by look on their faces. Most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, surprise... A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. Studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do. The same technology can make computer animated faces more expressive. So computers need to understand that, too. We unconsciously imitate another person's facial expressions. Whoever thought that making faces could reveal so much about the science of emotions and developing better ways for human and computers to communicate. | 0 |
Studying Venus was more rather a hard task for explorer's to do. Not only what is contained in the planet but its features and its structure was very dangerous. Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. It being the 'shinning star' explorers might have thought knowing more aboutit in a closer distance would be much educative for them.
Venus being the closest planet to the sun it is assumed to be pretty hot and that answers why its' called the 'shinning star' and also why it can be seen and good distance from any point on earth. The tempertaure in there is "average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmopheric pressureis 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet."This information that they gave out here shows how dangerious it is to be out there especially at an environment our earthly body is not used to.
The studies of Venus have shown that even explorers are scared to venture ou there and have no choice but to look formachines to help them look out there and know how its like on Venus. THe danger that is out in Venus is not going to begiven up on and they are gooing to find other ways to go to Venus. | 1 |
With conditions far harsher than on Earth and anything humans have expirenced, one the closes planet to Earth, Venus is increadibly inhosbitable. Dispite those facts scientists are still fascinated by the planet do to it's increadible similarity to Earth, but the conditions have prevented scientists from investigating throughly. With all spacecraft sent to Venus being destroyed it is a suprise that we are still trying to study this planet, and the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" gives very little insight into why scientists are still attempting to study the planet.
To start off Venus is our sister planet with very similar density and size to Earth with similar features with mountains, valleys, and other rocky structures. The author states that many scientists think that Venus could have supported life long ago and may have been covered in ocean and if this is true we may get much insight as to why Venus would change to become an exteremly inhospitable planet. Though the author gives us very little as to what we will be able to do with this information or what other information we may get. The author also mentions space travel but states only that, "Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planetary visit, a crusial consideration given the long time frames of space travel" ("The Challenge of Exploring Venus" 4). Other than that small mention the author does not go into depth on this idea.
Though the thought of being able to explore and study one of the closes planets to us is great the author of "The Challenges of Exploring Venus" does not do to good of a job of informing us as to why we would attempt to weather such harsh conditions. With the temperature going over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure that could liquify metal its hard to reason why we should attempt to send probes to Venus let alone travaling there personaly and the author does not do a very good job covincing us that this is a good idea. They give us very little information as to what they will get from this and give us information that makes this sound crazy to attempt. | 2 |
My opinion on these new smart cars is that I feel the just shouldn't even create them. They could cause accidents, it could be pedestrians in the street, traffic lights messes up alot, and IT COULD JUST BE DANGEROUS period.
What if someone was traveling down the road in one of these new smart cars and they got so used to the smart driving and stirring itself and the driver falls asleep or something. Example, my dad for instents, he travels ALOT and he gets so tired of being the only one driving for hours and hours by himself, so he would feel like this is the perfect car for him, but me knowing him, he would just lean his seat back put his shades on and let the car do all the work, and ends up falling asleep or something, or get on his phone and misses his turn. Also the cars could most likely cause accidents because there is always alot of people on the road driving really SLOW in front of you and, and the smart car could be set to go an certain speed and hits the back of the car in front of you. Pedestrians can be in the street at the wrong time and the smart car is just still going and hits the pedestrian. Traffic lights stop working or acts funny also and out of no where you might think you have the right a way to go and the light could just red.
Point blank period there could be to many dangerous thigns that can happen with these cars, seriously. Would it be the driver in the smart car fault? No, because there not the ones driving, it would be GOOGLE'S fault. | 2 |
The Electoral college is unnecesary because the people of the United States do not always get to control what their state electors vote for. The state legislatures are the ones responsible for choosing the electors, not the people. Others may say that the electoral college works and that it should be here to stay. Many opinions are to be heard.
A reason that people may want the electoral college is stay in place would be that the electors would do all the dirty work for them and they won't have to cast two votes the year that the new president will be chosen. The electors also get benefits for representing the states vote. They may also want to take advantage that the electoral college is still running.
The main reason that the electoral college is unnecesary is because the voters do not get to choose who the candidates are for the electoral college, therefore not knowing who the electors are and also not knowing who the electors want to vote for. The reason that some electors choose the wrong president are because the people don't really get a say in who the electors will vote for. They may protest and make signs to show their state electors who they people want as their president and the electors might listen to them, but overall the decision is the electors. The state legislators are the ones responsibe for choosing the electors, not the people of the state. So the elector may be a democrat and the majority of the people in that particular state are republicans. Would that be fair that that state was to vote for the opposite person running for presidency when the people obviously want the other candidate?
Many people have a lot to say about this particular topic. some may say that the electoral college works. Some people may say that the electoral college is not worth the bother. Many opinions are out there about the electoral college. but i say that the electoral college is unfair,irrational, and outdated. | 1 |
He wanted to jion the program because it would be an opportunity of a life time for luke. He could travel the world see new things meet new people and make more friends when he goes to the program.
He wanted to jion the army service and help out so the told him to say in what he was doing and that he was on bored with the army. He helped take horses to greece on ship and that is hard to do with 335 horses on bored the ship,and he had to take care of them by feeding them,getting the poop up and out of there cage. When he was helping one night he almost fell off bored the ship and went into the dark Atlantic but lukly there was a melt bar that stopped he from falling off the edge of the ship.
When the horses got off the ship the men could play basketball,volleball,and table tennis with all the men on bored.
He started in 1945 with his friend from high school .When he left the army in 1947 he was glad to do all those things he had done to help all those people in need. He was als hapy that he got to travel to all the places he had always wanted to go to in the world to help people he didn't know that was in need that he got to know as a friend.
When he was done he went back home and did something new with his life again to see what he could learn about then.
My conclusion are that he was really happy for helping peopl in need. I think what made him the happy's was that he got to travel the world to help people. He went to China,Greece,and other cool place like that. | 0 |
The bacics of the Electoral College that you learn in middle school is that that's how they elect the president. They have this thing called thet popular vote which is the states mojority vote which is when they hold elections in the states. Then there is the vote in Congress which is congress making there vote and they use the popular vote to help decide. But this was all established by the founding fathers to be a compromise.
In the electoral college you have 538 electors and 270 is the majority of the votes required to elect the president. Your state has a certain amount electors to go when Congress has it's vote. your states running canidate has their own group of electors from there polotical party. states have laws on how they are selected to be in the canidates group and they also have a say in what their responsibilities are.
the president stays in office for four years then after those for years they hold a new election and the president can run again and can be elected back into office but they may only serve as president twice but once youhave elected your president you have everyone in state office that went in and voted in the congress vote. i think that the popular vote is much easier and that we shouoldnt have the state represenetives going to vote in the electoral college. the state oard of represenitives can vote along with the citezens that vote in with the popular vote.
to conclude the popular vote makes much more sense then having the electoral college. Now that I know more about it because I never actually knew that there was more to it then just going to the city hall and writing a name on a piece of paper the popular vote makes much more sense when the canidates compaign he will talk about "the people" not just the board of represenitives the peoplenon te board are citizens like us they can vote like us when you really think about it you are saying they are higher just because they got elected on the board that doesnt mean they do a good jod or they alwaysmake the right desision so if you base the vote mainly off of them that could be a total mistake they may just base their whole vote off of one miner detail and miss the big picture. | 0 |
To state senator : from :anonymous ....
I have an arguement in between keeping the Electoral college process or changing to election by popular vote for the U.S president. I debate on the behalf of Electoral college because,I think with the popular voting process way the only people who vote for you takes favor in you,which means if more people like you then the more votes you'll recieve,therefore you'll have a better shot of winning.....The reason I wrote this letter is to show you whether or not to keep the electoral process or dump it out and use the popular vote. Me personally think it's fine just the way it is,why because "I think the electoral process is a better solution because,the voting would not be based on just popularity but also on who's going to be better at what they do,or the person who's going to make the positive choices[desicions].There are so many positive things on why to keep the electoral process and I also make room for the errors of it so dont think im on a one man train,because im not. The electoral college consists of 538 electors which means a majority of 270 electoral votes are required to elect the president. Which ever state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation:which also means one for each member in the
H.O.R plus two for your senators...Most state's just have a winner take all...theres also some things thats wrong with the electoral college...1 : is that under the electoral college system,voters vote not for the president,but for a slate of electors, [Example]if you lived right in texas,and wanted to vote for (John) kerry,you'd vote for a slate of 34 Domocratic electors pledged to kerry. How ever the also are some great things on why we should keep the electoral college one is because,its is not liberal or conservative.
The electoral college requires a presidential candidate to have a transregional appeal.
With the popular vote system,theres not much consisderation tooken in on what should really be done. No matter on how it goes,I say we keep the electoral college system.....

The number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005. From there, it steadily dropped to, as of April 2013, nine percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. This decrease has had positive effcts, though. Limiting car usage saves time, improves safety, conserves resources, and causes more social interactions with people.
Recent studies suggest the Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. Still, in places like paris, cars are still causing polution. After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. On Monday, motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine. The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day. Because of this ban, congestion went dow 60 percent in the capital of France. By haveing fewer cars out on the streets, it lowers rates of traffic and the time it takes people to get to work. Also, in result of a decrease in traffic, there would be less accidents and less lives lost to motorvehicle collisions.
France's tax policy that favors diesel fuel over gasoline results in higher percent of people using diesel vehicles. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to 53.3 percent average of diesel engins in the rest of Western Europe. By cutting back on car usage, the world would save an astronomical amount of resources. If people stopped bying cars, there would be less production of them. Thus conserving the metal, as well as other materials, used to make the cars.
"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdent streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor. Sitting in a car to get to work, or any where in fact, restricts how much interaction you have with other people. By walking, or even taking public transportation, you get the chance to run into people you know or meet new people.
Time saving, improvement on safety, conservation of resources, and more social face-to-face interactions can be accomplished by limting car usage. The decrease in the percentage of miles driven in the United States from 2005 to 2013 proves that people are starting to understand this. If the pattern persists--and many sociologists believe it will--it will have benificial implications for carbon emissions and the enviornment as well. | 3 |
The "FACS"
or the Facial Action Coding System is going to be helpful
to the students in a classroom because they would start to feel the true depth of the picture of the person and how they really felt or if they were hiding something and didn't want anyone to know about.
In the text it states that we humans perfom this same calculations everyday with the peers that we are mostly around suck as co-workers friends and family. We can tell how one of our friends feel simply by the look of there face, but for other people it may not be as easy. This computer can be helpful in the classroom and scan the students to see if they are scared confused or bored that can help modify the lesson that the student is getting and help the instructor or teacher understand where they get confused on. This system can aslo be fooled by actors that make themselves imitate the emotional feelings like being happy or sad which can mess with the system and confuse it and the system can be wrong and tell you the wrong thing.
In conclusion the Facial Action Coding system can be a major break through when coming to solving the real emotions coming from the pictures that you can't really tell what the felling are or what the picture actually represents. It can also reveal so much about the human body and how it can reveal the real science of emotions | 2 |
Automakers are progressing closer and closer to bringing fantasy and reality together by creating the driverless car. Many people debate whether they should be legal, or if they even have any real use to the world. The driverless car is not a practical option for the world to turn to.
To allow technology to completely overrun our lives and to go on "auto-pilot" for the rest of one's life, would do much more harm than good. The driverless car will allow drivers to essentially ignore the road and their surroundings during their trip. Though the manufacturers may warn consumers to be alert during their ride, one must find it pointless to pay for an automatic car, when they may have a normal car that requires a slightly higher level of attention. One must fear that for going on "auto-pilot" for so long, the people may forget how to drive properly.
When these cars get in an accident, there will be a law suit between the driver and the manufacturer. If the car gets in an accident caused by the car itself, then the manufacturer will have "wrecked" it's reputation, and hopefully will be forced to recall every autonomous car of that model, which would be extremely expensive fpr the company to do. To add to that, these cars will be far too expensive for consumers to be worth all of the legal and insurance hassle that would be attached to it.
Finally, one should find that the automatic car would disconnect their emotional connection to their normal car. Tthe automatic car takes the fun out of driving, making the task seem to be a mundane way to get from point A to point B. The automatic car would steal one's confidence in having control over where their going, which also means drivers would do less "taking the long way home" and more "get me to where I'm going".
In conclusion, the automatic car is not going to become the future of driving. In American society, people have emotional relationships with their cars, and the automatic car would not fill in that gap. For the people that would go for the automatic car would become unaware of their surroundings, and frankly would be set on auto-pilot for so long, that one fears that they may forget how to drive properly. In the end, the automatic car may be good to some, but inpractical and inflexibole to many, but no one knows what the future may hold | 3 |
In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author, starts by talking about how Venus is part of our solar system and some facts about the planet. They try to support thier ideas on studying Venus as a worthy pursuit and dangers by first listing the similarities it has with our earth and then transitions toward thier topic. The author explains very well, many times by using examples and facts to support their idea about how Venus is a worthy pursuit in the scinece field, but at the same time they also counter with the many dangers that are eminent.
First, the author describes the dangers with facts and statistics about Venus and the amosphere and how dangerous and harmful it is. Like in paragraph three, they stated "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide" Which readers know is impossible for humans to survive under. Then they talk about the temperatures which is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The author does a really good job at then comparing the temperature on Venus with the temperature on earth by telling us that is is over 90 times greater than what is experienced on earth. Comparing is an effect way of making readers understand the difference and especially when it shows the numbers written all out. Then, they continue to support thier cause by talking about frequent natural disaster that cause havoc which some already excist on earth. This makes Venus looks so much more harmful and uninhabitable than it already did.
Later in the passage, they transition to the benefits of studying about Venus and it is a somewhat smooth transition since the aurthor has already set up thier claim in paragraph two by stating plenty of similarities between the earth and Venus so readers can get and understanding of Venus. So in paragraph four, when the author entered, it was very smooth with a question on why the scientists even bothered and they countered by answering the question which helped support the authors overall claim. Another thing that shows how well the author has supported the idea of Venus worth studying is they list more similarities like in paragraph four they talk about how Venus had similar features like "valleys, mountains, and craters." This gave readers a sense of imagery and later supports the imagery and landscape by giving a reason of why that is important like it is out nearest option for travel. This make the author sound much more credible.
Finally, in the article, the author supports both of thier ideas by talking about NASA and thier ideas on the space travel. Paragraph five and six help explain why traveling to Venus is so hard, but still so worthwhile. They state, that it is diffcult by listing the extreme conditions even if they were to get close and still survive. Then in paragraph six they list the risks and the sample and different pictures they could have taken but the dangers were too high. This helps show readers the real limit and possiblity at the same time.
Therfore, the author throughly explains thier idea and supported it very well with different techniques and different ways of explanation. The author has already done very well in adressing how traveling to Venus had its advantages but getting there and actually surviving the dangers is very hard. They did very well in explaining the dangers with facts and statistics. Then later also explained throughly with claims and backup information. This shows that this author was very prepared and supported thier idea exquisitely. | 4 |
In my english class, we are reading a book about outliers, and that is the first thing I think about when I think about driverless cars. Many people think that outliers in every situation is a good thing; not in this case. I do not believe that driverless cars is a good idea. I believe this because of false advertisement, reaction speed, and liability
When I think of driverless cars, the first thing that I think of is that this vehicle will get me from point A to point B without me having to worry about anything. That is where the false advertisement comes in." In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driveless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves but all are designed to notify the driver when the roads ahead need human skills"
If I am purchasing this car, I wanna be with out a care in the world. I want to know that im gonna be able to get to where I need to be.
I have had my license all of 3 months, and have experienced, getting cut off, rear ended, and much much more. These driverless cars will not react fast enough well to many decisions that a regualar person would still stuggle with. Imagine stopping at a red light; it turns green and you go. You look both ways while driving and see somebody run a red light who would of hit you if you werent more causious. " The google car simply anoounces when the driver should be prepared to take over." No one would be able to react quick enough to these risk, which is why driverless cars is not a good idea.
My last reason why driverless cars are not a good idea is because of liability.
"If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?" Breaking it down even more; what happens if the car gets recked in a accident? whos gonna have to pay for it? These questions need be resolved before the care is intoduced.
Cars are to complex of tool to be driverless, and can be proved by false advertisement, reaction speed, and liability. These cars need to be kept in the future. | 3 |
Hello reader I think that everyone should be a part Seagoing Cowboys program. There are limited spots on the team. We are reaching out just to you. Your pay would minimum wage but you get to see the world. We will supply the food on the trips. If you have any problem or questions send a letter back to us.
The pros are you get to go to places, you could discover new island, you see new animals that live in water. More pros you get to have a lot of time off from work. There are some cons but you may get sea sick, spend less time with your family, may not like our food we supply. One pro you can go fishing. An another pro become a better at drive ping a vessel. The final pro is how good Luke Bomberger life is now.
There are many pros for being a part Seagoing Cowboys program. The rele question is if you are going to be a part of are program. Remember if you have any questions send it by mail. There are limited amount of space on are team. We will be waiting for you. | 1 |
Voting time is here again and its time to cast your vote for the president, but do you know what really happenes when you vote? See the United States Constitution has this process set that the election of a president consists of the selection of electors and each state has electors based on population. Citizens vote for the electors canidate and the elecotrs take the majorety of the votes wheither it be Demicratic or Republican and all votes of that states electoral representatives vote for the states winning president. Crazy right? But is that the most effective way to this and if it is not the why shouldnt we chage it to something more fare and equal and not leave it up to some special elecorss. Leave it to the people to decide who we want for our president.
The United Staes is a fairly new country compared to others around our world yet we have some pretty advanced technologies and some really brilent ideas but when our founding fathers made the Constitution I dont think they made the best choice. Even some of our previous presidents like Nixon, Carter, Dole, Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO have said we need a better way to elect our presidents. In 2000 Al Gore had won the popular vote and was set on presidence but did not win thanks to this outragious system and lost the electoral vote and lost his shot at precendence. If you win the popular vote doesnt that mean your the fan favorate and the citezens want you to be president because the majority voted for you. During a pole shortly after Gore lost people were asked if we should keep the system we have now or chang and 60% of the people asked said that we should change. Cant you see the people are cying our for help and asking to change the system so someone like Gore doesnt get cheater again.
When campaining as a president shouldnt you try to visit every state to try and increase yo popularity? Well sadly it really doesnt work like that with this current system you see some presidents lets take Obama and Romney as and example. Some staes wont see the canidates at all because they "know" they will win the electoral votes. Obama in the 2012 election never visited some staes like Ohio or Romney and flordia because they knew that the majorety would vote for him and he would win that state. Now how is that fair. If it was up to just a popularity vote each president campaining would go to every stae trying to get as many voters as possible instead they say eh i will skip that state because I will get the majorety any ways. On top of the the electoral system makes smaller states less important because it is set up where more population means more votes. That to me is saying well you a small state so everyone in that stae you mean way less that this other state. California, Texas, and Flordia are the most campianed staes in the US because they have 55,38,29 votes respectivley. now places like Arizona, Ohio, north and south Dakota have six, three, three, and three respectivley. how is any of these people less important adn less aluable the the ones in California, Texas or Flordia.
I still cant find a reason why we should keep this sytem around and the more I think about it the more I want to get rid of it. The electoral college is taking our power as US citezens our of our hands and defies us from voting for the president and in turn makes us vote for special offece people. I say leave the electoral system and change to a popular vote wins presedency. This puts power where it should belong, in the hands of the citizens. Who else is with me on abanding the old way and taking a new step in the direction of power to the people. | 3 |
The author suggests that studying venus is worthy pursuit despite the dangers that it can represent. The author stated " Astronomers are fascinated by veus becuse it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." The Author also discribed venus as a really hot atmosphere. The text stated that " 97 percent
of venus have a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide" Venus has some good and some Pro's and Con's though it can be dangerous to live in venus. scientiest are still trying to discover more about and trying to figure how they can get closer and learn more with out having any harms done to them. It is challenging planet for humna to study and despite it's proximity to us Venus planet surface temperatures aversge is over 800 degrees farhrenheit, the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on out own planet. The conditions in venus are really extreme and dangerous for any humans encounter on Earth. | 0 |
I think the athor of this story did a good job explaining himself on why we should try to pursuit Venus. In the sencond paragragh he explained that Venus is the closest plant to earth in terms of density, size, and sometimes the clostest in distance. Then he explain some issue of landing on Venus because each previous mission was unmanned and the spacecraft could only survive for 2 hours. Then he started to talk about Venus thick atmosphere, clouds along with the temperatures and the atmospheric pressure. The reason saying all of this about Venus is a good idea becasue it gives the reader more information about why Venus would be hard to explore.
He also explains that Venus has the highest surface temperture of any the plants in our solar system. He also said that Venus geology and weather present additional dangers like erupting volcanoes, earthquakes and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on the surface. Then he starts tlaking about how Venus at a point could have looked like earth. Venus long ago could of had oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like earth. The plant has a surface of rocky terrian and includes familiar features like valleys, mountains, and craters.
All of this is why I think the author of this story did a good job of explaining why it would be a challage exploring it. He gave good facts about the plant and talking about what nasa is doing to try to explore the plant. | 2 |
Variouse forms of life, just like earth today, venus has some simliar stuff like earth it has valleys, moutains and craters and scientest think that venus was cover all in water like how earth was million years ago. Venus solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed earth levels,not easy condtions but survival for humans.
Nasa is also doing still doing studeis today and sending people over there to study the planet to see if the conditons are getting any better or worst so they can studie and any maybe someday the human beigns can live there in another decade once they say the venus is a safe place to visit and live there.
When you land of venus its dangerous, So people are creating ways that there makigng a ship that will hovering safley around ground condetions that cannot stad the dense of the ground of the atmosphere and rendering phitigraphhy and vidoeography and the most important they cant get smaples on rock,gas or anything else,In that case scientist are seeking to conduct missions on venus. | 0 |
Driveless Cars Coming Closer
Driveless cars are a very touched topic. Not only because we see these type of cars in movies ot Tv shows, but because we are in the future now. Even though these cars are able to steer, accelerate, and brake they are not all the way driveless. Driveless cars don't have common sense. Driveless cars should not be a part of the future we've been waiting for.
First of all, we see the future in movies and Tv shows, and we see things we like. For example; driveless cars, yeah, they are something humans have been talking for a long long time ago and we have been waiting for them since we first saw the on the big screen. but do we really want them to be a part of our future? We are in the future 2016 is now, good technology, smart people, and determination. We have those things to make the driveless cars but lets think about things that can happen because of these cars.
These cars can steer, accelerate, and brake, but they are made to tell the driver when to take over. Some have vibrating seats, others flashing lights. Would this be something someone would buy? If someone was in a car at night and they are trying to rest, they can easily press the, "self navigation" button and take a nap without wasting time. What we know is that these cars are not driveless completly and still need the driver to be alert.
Finally, driveless cars don't think like us. They are robots not humans. In the text it says, "most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers knows that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." Drivers that can think, not robots that will mostlikely have a problem within and could cause an accident.
In conclusion, driveless cars are being talked about a lot lately. We see these cars in movies, Tv shows, etc. These cars can accelerate, steer and brake by themselvesd but are not driveless completly, they still need a human driver to be alert. Driveless cars don't think, don't feel, the don't have the need to be driving around not knowing how to think. We need human drivers not robot drivers. Driveless cars should not be a part of our tomorrow. Would anyone want this in our childrens future? | 3 |
The "Face on Mars" can't be made by aliens. All these pictures from our spacecraft and your telling me, that "Face"was made by aliens?! This can't be true, this a "Huge Rock Formation!" Which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract to Mars.
The "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon. It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years! Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars-evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars. And so on April 5,1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Micheal Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Vikings photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing. . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.
What the picture actually shows is the Marian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West." It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho", says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars." | 2 |
Where I stand on this issue is that these cares should not be made because mankind is already lazy enough as is. I remember fro a song called In The Year 2525 the writer of the song is saying that in the future you wont need your eyes because nobody will look at you, and that you wont need your arms or your legs because some mechine is doing that for you. As is evidant with these test that it is mostly going all digital which I am also against. Yes i do agree it would help us in the the long run finacialy, as said in the first paragraph. And yes it does still require the driver to navigate through sticky situations, but the fact still remain that indepentant cars are not to be trusted by my standing point.
These cars do require constant maininace for upgrades and updates on existing roads and new roads to be put in its data base, which is just too epensive to be put to practical use as said in the third paragraph. These cars and be pregramed to do bad things just as if someone was driveing the car and can cause great issuesas i say about paragraph four.
So about this issue about if driverless cars should be out for everyone to use , I will have to say no, they should not make these cars. These cars can screw up at any time, parden my language. They cost too much and they can be programed to drive like an accual person is behind the wheel and can drive the passangers to their deaths. | 1 |
I trully believe driverless cars have the potental to be great and do great things,but on the other hand I don't think driverless cars are worth someones life.
First off there are already many flaws that could eventually lead to destruction or even worse death.Many semi-driverless cars now require drivers to be ready to take over in difficult situations like:navigating through accidents and work zones.What if the car demands the driver and the driver is unable to react fast enough?This could result in loss of control,and could even result in an accident;and anyone with a valid driver liscence knows that a crash in a work zone could end with death.
But even if they did fix these flaws,how would you get people to trust being driven by someone they cant even talk to,or talk back,or even see.Peorsonally I can only trust computers to wash my cloths,or tell me when my food is done.
How would the government see driverless cars?Would they be seen as a safer way to travel,or killer robots at heart.What if one malfunctiond and killed a person or people.In fact in most states it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars.Let allone drve you to work every morning.According to most traffic laws the only safe car has a human driver in controll at all times.
Are you really ready to put your life,or someone elses life on the line for overated technology.So why fight what we allready have.When our best technology is the one we use every day,the one that God gave us, our brain. | 2 |
Have you ever gotten bored during a lecture or lesson at school? Do some classes just seem like they don't fit you, or that you will never be very good at some subjects? Well this could be because of the way you are being taught, whether by a computer program or a teacher. What if a computer could detect when you are not understanding part of a lesson? What if it could alter the lesson, or repeat specific parts so that you know what is being taught? Well that's what Professor Thomas Huang and Professor Nicu Sebe have designed; a computer program that can change and adapt to your needs in school when you are bored or confused.
The computer starts by constructing a 3-D model of the face. Movement of one or more of the major 44 facial muscles is called an "action unit." Dr. Huang then uses the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman. Eckman created FACS, which is an acronym for Facial Action Coding System. He classified six main emotions that humans experience, and connected each of them with characteristic movements of the facial muscles.
Using video imagery the emotion-recognition software, that Dr. Huang has designed, can track your facial movements and detect your emotions. Dr. Huang believes that this software could be extremely useful in a classroom. "The classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."
But what would be better about an emotion-detecting computer than a great teacher? Well, the computer has the ability to tell the students' emotions to a much higher degree than any other human could. The two could even be used in tandem, with the teacher taking advantage of the information the computer outputs about his or her pupils' emotions. If the software is properly used and designed, it could become a great tool in any school. I think that if teacher's use this tool properly, teaching would be easier, and students would learn and retain more information. All this would inevitably lead to better test scores and higher overall GPA.
It might take many years, but I think that if the technology is perfected and used properly, this could be one of the most amazing innovations for years to come. For a teacher to know what his students are feeling and how he can convey information for them to better understand would change teaching as we know it. The Facial Action Coding System could be revolutionary in the classroom. It could make school more interesting for those that find it boring, or those that find it difficult. It could make harder subjects easier on some students. That is why I think we should use this technology to read students' emotional expressions. | 3 |
This special artifact that was found on Mars might have been created by aliens, or a Martian mesa. On May 24, 2001 NASA's Viking 1 was circling around mars. Something different happened that made TV, magazines, even Hollywood. Viking 1 captured a picture of a FACE on mars. At the time no one knew what made this but NASA did have plenty enough of ideas to figure it out sooner or later.
An argument would be is are aliens actually real or are they a mythical creature that people say is real. The man NASA is talking to would have to find out himself and so would NASA. NASA has plenty enough cameras in space to know if there are actually aliens up in space. This could have been created by a Martian mesa. The face might of had many weird, or unusual shadows.
The only problem would be is there aliens in different Galaxies, or on different planets like the ones in our Galaxy the Milkyway. The Aliens could have flew over and made a face on Mars, or carved it themselves. The problem with the Martian mesa is the shadow could have been created by the camer or ship that was flying around the planet Mars.
The was to prove them wrong though is, we have been studying and flying cameras out into space for awhile and have been searching for aliens the whole time. NASA's cameras are still in space and they are still searching. The Shadow was to large to be created by the ship or camera that was flying around mars. The shadow could have been around Cyndonia which is common. | 1 |
The author supports the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit by including many details that, despite the dangers of venus, we have ways in which we can get past those dangers to complete a fully devolped exploration of Venus. There are a few ways the author goes about doing this: telling us how venus couldve been like earth, how NASA has a few ideas on how to make the exploration safe and about the different technology they scientist would use to study venus.
Long ago venus couldve been considered another earth-like planet of life. in the text it states, " Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth". This would encourage any scientist to want to explore more into the planet to try and figure out what went wrong, even though it is close to the sun but still has earth like features, what is the problem? Venus still, to this day, has features of earth like mountains and valleys and rocky sediment, but is still not liveable on because of some conditions. In the end it could be like another planet we could visit because it is so close to earth, but we have to find some way to get there safely.
In order to do a successful research of venus, you have to first get there safely, and NASA has an idea to do that. The author introduces NASA's idea in paragraph 5 stating "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of
Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray." Just like our airplanes and jets, scientist would be able to float above the atmosphere of venus because of the risky temperatures and conditions. It would allow them to avoid unfiendly ground conditions and stay out of the way for anything to come. Even though it wouldn't protect you from every little hassle of Venus, the air pressure would still be close enough to that of earth and the conditions will still be survivable for humans.
Once you get there, you would need something to conduct your research or study with, so having durable equipment would help you get your job done. First of all, the author states in the text "Some siplified electronics made of silicone carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." This would allow scientist to conduct an expirement well enough to find out more about venus. They could use the electronics made of silicone carbide to help them make longer observations , than those of modern equipment that would melt rather quickly because of Venus's conditions. In adition to the silicone carbide, NASA has also been working on bringing back mechanical computers, used in WW II that use levers and gears to make calculations. Those computers are more resistant to heat and pressure.
And finally with the idea of how Venus could've been like earth, the different ways on how to make the exploration safe and the different technology that would be used to study venus, one can conclude that venus is not only worthy of a pursuit but is also a way of creating value and expansion. | 3 |
The author does a great job explaining how the study of the intense planet Venus is worth it in the long run. Using many examples and providing the readers with pleanty of facts that support his claim that ''the study of Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." The author states in paragraph 4 "if our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?" Dispite all the negitive aspects of this planet the scientists still want to undergo with the study of its surface and conditions. Stating that Venus might have been the most Earth-like planet years and years ago forming similar mountains and valleys. Possibly covored by oceans just the same as our home planet Earth.
Venus may never be habitable by humans because of the harsh conditions the surface goes through with a sitting temperature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit and a atmospheric pressure 90 times greater than the Earths. One of the reasons stated by scientists in paragraph 4 that make the study of venus so important is that "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration giventhe long time frames of space travel. This exploration of the planet is going to be different because old technology is going to be used to get information. The reasons for this is because the techology today is to delacate for the conditions on the planets surface.
Therefor the author provides the reader with facts about the risks of studying the planet venus. Dispite all the negitive aspects the author supports his claim with signifigent evedence and reasoning for the study of venus to be dubed worthy of further study. The harsh conditions are just one obstical that todays scientists are going to have to work to through to get the information they need about the misterious planet Venus. | 2 |
According to the passage of "Driverless Cars Are Coming" The are many pro's and Con's of the idea of having driverless cars. One of the pro's of Driverless cars would be it takes up less money, which means it saves yourself more money and you really wont have to spend all of your investments. Another pro about Driverless cars is that it will most likely fundementally change the world as we know it because if the manufactuers develop Driverless cars then you won't see pedestrians using the bus, train, or the regular automotive vehicle.
According to the passage "Driverless Cars Are Coming", there are also many con's or negative conotations concerning Driverless Cars. One of those con's are a individual might have to take control over the car if needed because if the car won't stop when it is suppoed to yield then that individual has to stop the car . Another "con" or negative connotation about Driverless Cars is that the Driverless car is not fully safe. To elaborate about what not safe means, it means it does not have the safety requirements a regular automotive vehicle has such as an emergency brake or turning signals. | 1 |
Limiting car usuage around the world will cause a beneficial improvement across our nation and other countries around the world. Transportation is the second largest source of America's emmisions, just behind power plants, if citizens reduce the amount of car usage then air pollution would slowly decrease across America. Countries around the world are participating in limiting car usage within a day.
Paris is banning driving due to the increase in smog within the city. "Congestion was down sixty percen tin the capital of France, after five days of intensifying smog...The smog rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world." Paris smog has increased to the point where typically the capital has more smog than any other European capital. Compared to Brussels adn Londin, Reuters found the micrograms of particulate matter increasinly high. Diesel fuel was the main problem, since France has a tax policy which favors diesel over gasoline.
In Bogota, Columbia millions of Columbians hiked, biked, or took buses to work or any destination during a car-free day. Thus, leaving the capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams. This program is set to spread in other countries. The goal is to promote alternative transportation and to reduce smog. (Violators could face around $25 fines.)
Carlos Arturo says, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."
Two other columbian cities, Cali amd Valledupar, joined the event. Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven sideways were replace with smoothed down sidewalks, and rush-hour restrictions dramatically cut traffic.
President Obama had a goal to curbs the United States' greenhouse gas emissions. recent studies show that Americans are buying fewer cars throughout the years passing by. Also the amount of licenses are reducing by the years. If the pattern persists (many sociologists believe it will) it will have beneficial implications for carbon emmisions and the enviroment.
The reduction on car usage will create a beneficial impact across America and other countries around the world. Citizens should participate in the car-free day programs to improve the Earth's atmosphere and reduce air pollution, such as smog. This is also a healthier program for citizens, with the reduction of cars that day, citizens could walk, hike, or bike around improving body health. So not only does limiting car usuage improve the environment, it also improves you. | 2 |
Imagine a life without cars. All those paved roads completely empty with no traffic and no honking horns. Sounds like a peaceful community to me. Limiting cars could be a huge advantage to our world. Reducing these big pieces of metal flying all over our roads could help our enviornment, save tons of money, and improve our saftey.
Recently, I've heard about all the well known car dealers pushing hybrid cars and trying to design a enviornment friendly vehicle. But in reality, the only big step to helping our planet is to reduce cars overall. Studies shown that green house gases are "... up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States". Not only is the green house gas rate going up, but pollution, carbon emissons, and smog are as well. In Paris, France they had to ban driving for a couple of days as the pollution produced smog. "[Last] week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London...". The numbers keep rising in Europe and the USA. Picture what our enviorment is going to be like in 20 years if we keep this pace up. Without these machienes we could reduce the number of micrograms, produce the harmful gases from affecting the enviroment, and stop polluting the air we breathe.
Everyone likes to save money, whether it's with coupons or getting the best prices possible. So how would you feel if you had the abilty to save thousands of dollars a year? With reducing cars, you can save your money by public transportation, not paying for a car insurance, and not paying for a car in general. Not getting a car may seem strange as you need to get to location A and B. But in Vauban, Germany cars are not allowed and they seem to be doing just fine. Reports say "Vauban, home to 5,500 residents [within a rectangular square mile] may be the most advanced experiment in low-car suburban life". Even though they aren't aloud personal cars, they can walk, bike, or take a tram anywhere they need to go! Also in most parts of America they now have car-pooling apps, public transportation, and shared vans! So instead of paying huge amounts of money for gas, a car, and car insurance, why not just tag along for a ride or get some excersize!
As you watch somebody drive off, dont you worry about their saftey? Every year there are more percentages of deaths and injuries in cars then there is in any other motor accident. We can prevent drunk driving, car crashes, and the amount of injures and deaths by reducing cars. I hate hearing those unbearable stories about teenagers getting behind the wheel under the influence causing crazy car wrecks. To avoid that we can allow public transportation, removing any crashes and improving the saftey of our generation. Also, the traffic jams that make people stressful and angry increase the crash rates as aggresive driving is very dangerous. To prevent that we can just walk, allowing us to enjoy our clean air and get excersize.
In conclusion, cars have changed our way of life for the good and the bad. Even though they help us get to our destination, they affect our enviornment, our money, and our saftey. If we reduce the amount of cars driven we can help our enviornment by lowering the rate of greenhouse gases, pollution, and carbon emissions. Also we save tons of money as we dont spend thousands of dollars on cars, and their needs. And finally, reducing cars saves tons of lifes as drunk driving and car crashes are avoided allowing the death and injury rates to decrease. So next time you're walking down the street, think about how your community would be without these machienes. | 4 |
Some people thought robots would take over the world someday.
This might be the start.
A new technology, Facial Action Coding System, allows a computer to read a humans emotions bassed on their facial expression.
The inventor thinks that this technology should be used in schools.
It would not valuable to have technology be able to read emotions of students in the classroom.
It would be helpful for students when they are confused, but that's the teachers job.
Teachers are there to help the students learn.
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" the author quotes "Then it could modify it's lesson, like an effective human instructor".
This quote shows that with the new technology, teachers won't be needed.
Why would we need the computer to change the lesson when students can just ask for help from the teacher.
This technology should be used somewhere else more effective like at an airport.
In an airport, the video camera could see if the people are confused and then the computer could tell an employer to go help them.
That would much more valuable and then robots still won't have the power to put people out of jobs.
To have technology be able to read students emotions in a classroom would not be valuable.
There is already someone who helps students in the classroom so schools don't need another.
This technology could be used somewhere else where it would be more efficent.
Robots/computers should always be helped by humans, not humans getting help from robots. | 2 |
The value for this technology to read students' emotional expressions is a bad idea. Because then we would be in there faces every day trying toget them to feel better and what if they don't want help.
An example i could use is the fact that what if they have a blank expression and the technology doen't work. Then what would happen if they're anrgy with you because you don't leave them alone. Also we don't need this technology to tell what is wrong with our friends, like whats it says in paragraph 5 it says "you can probably tell how a freind is feeling simply by the looking his or her face". And another thing we do not need the software to get in people faces with. Iust cause Dr. Huang can tell your facial expression by a certain way we smile doesn't mean his soft ware will always be right.
In conclusion I think this software is not a great idea to do any thing for the human enviorment. Because we are just fine without this software update. | 2 |
In 1976, a single image of Mars taken by a NASA spacecraft blew the world's mind. It depicted a gigantic face on Mars. Of course we understood that people would be shocked. In fact, we told the public that it was only a natural formation, and the conspiracy theorists came along with their new story. They accused us of hiding the fact that there was an alien civilization on the Red Planet, and that the picture is a monument. All we want to do here at NASA is inform skeptics that they are severely mistaken.
First of all, we revealed the information because we wanted the public to be informed, and we wanted to not hide anything. All the skeptics should stop and realize that us revealing partial information is just illogical. If we revealed the picture, it's because we wanted people to know about it. As we said earlier, the face-type shape is "formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." We gave you the full truth.
As well as us giving you full information, we actually would be glad to tell the public about ancient martian civilizations. NASA would benefit greatly from something like that. You see, we aren't getting funded as well as we would like. So something as interesting as alien life-forms would definitely get us more money to explore more. Simply put, the public's thirst for exciting information would drive the government to fund us. Unfortunately, the face is just a creation of nature, but we'll be more than glad to inform you if we ever find signs of alien life.
In addition to the fact that NASA is always glad to provide information, we took very clear pictures that show just a desolate mound of rock that is naturally made. We took three pictures of the face. One was in 1976, the next in 1998, and the last in 2001. Jim Garvin (of NASA) explained that the newest pictures would show things such as man-made pyramids and villages. Of course, those would prove the face to be man-made as well. However, such things aren't seen in any of the pictures.
Overall, we know that there will always be people that don't believe in the facts. However, there is solid evidence (such as witnesses and pictures) to back us up. They all point to the "face" being a natural formation. I hope that this essay has helped eliminate doubt in the public. Just remember, NASA is glad to inform you of any signs of alien life when we find it. | 3 |
Are you ready for an adventure?
Do you want to visit unique places while on the job?
If so, then joining the Seagoing Cowboys will quench your thirst for adventure and exploration.
The Seagoing Cowboys program changed my life forever.
I recommend anyone searching for an exciting time to join the program.
During my time participating in the program, I got to tend to cattle and have time to do recreational activities like playing baseball, volleyball, or even just simply reading.
However, this program is not for the soft, but for those who are willing to live and work on a boat for long periods of time.
I have gone on nine trips, the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.
I still remember those exhilirating adventures of traveling all over the world. Joining the Seagoing Cowboys is a great choice and something you won't regret.
I never look back and think of my time as a Seagoing Cowboy a waste of time.
Those years were my most exciting years of my entire life.Everyone should give this program a shot.
I strongly recommend this program to everyone.
Those are the reasons why I believe you should join the Seagoing Cowboys. | 2 |
The new technology called Facial Action Coding is valuable. Author said that it can detect your facail expression by using a 3-D computer model of the face. The computer must move 44 major muscles like a human muscles. Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System) has classified six basic emotions - happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. The use of this computer is very helpful for lots of people.
The software that is used in this computer can tell your emotion in a real face or in the painted face of Mono Lisa. It uses video imagery. It can tell the students emotion of how they feel. Even though the face weight different units it can also identify mixed emotions. The author said that "His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code". This software system will help show the expression of a student in a classroom. It can tell if the student is feeling happy or sad. If the computer can tell wheater the student is bored or happy it can change the impact of how the computer can change to make them happy. For example, when you smile when the web ad comes up, the similar one will pop up. But if you frown, the next ad will be different.
In the conclusion, now you know why the Facial Action Coding is valuable. It can tell different action of emotion of a student in class. You can tell if students are hiding there emotions. It was developed to improve accuracy in perceving the emotions of others such as students. | 1 |
These photo's that were taken by NASA are rock formations. These photos were taken in 1976, 1998, and in 2001. People thought that the formations were from other living things that are on Mars. Nasa took several pictures of these rock formations because they were shaped like humans. The rock formations starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows and even ended up in haunted grocery store checkot lines for 25 years.
Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa landforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. After taking several more photographs of these landforms people started to realize that they were natural landforms and not made by other living things.
NASA put the photots on JPL web sites so that people could see these pictures up close. Few cientisct thought that these artifacts were made by aliens. When NASA first took a picture of these faces they said that the face was staring back at the camera. They looked like Egyptian Pharaoh's.
There was no alien monument after all. The pictures actually show a butte or a mesa landforms comman aroiund the American West. These are natural landforms becuase scientitst say that there is no life on Mars. NASA took pictures in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size. If there were objects in the pictures like an airplane on the ground or an Egyptain style pyramid or even a small shak you could see what they were. | 1 |
This photo that viking1 took is just a natrual landfrom. Their is no way a green alien could had made this. It is a huge rock formation because mars has lots of rocks.How can their be aliens but there is any other aliens around. Their is no earth like subtance on mars no plants no nothing.
If we just think about it mars is located 41 degrees north MGS had to go through the wispy clouds just to see the face. I had to talk to Garvin about this and he said "it is not easy to target Cydonia". He had also said "it will take hard work". We explain that the planet like a machine in narrow2.5km-wide strips.
On image 3 times bigger than th pixel size. There is no ufo markeing not even foot prints. If the did have them you would see what was there. If it was acctually not a martain it was butte or messa. We see those to alot in the American west.
It is very hot on mars it could be fromed because of the volcaneo. It is crazy because we have the same figure on earth. So how can it be a alienit is nothing but rocks. pluse why are we focuseing on that one so called alien we should look around mars and see if there is any more.
Does it look like and alien or a rock you tell me. If you listen to what I say you will believe that it is a rock. If it is a alien should mars be a life plant like earth. | 1 |
A spacecraft was launched into outter space. Outerspace consists of many planets, including Mars. On the planet Mars, scientists have a discovered a face. The Face on Mars is a natural landform.
People say the Face was crafted by aliens. Because it was winter, the camera in the spacecraft had to look through clouds to see the Face. Due to the weather conditions, some people say that "alien markings" were hidden by fog.
Many details support that the Face on Mars is a natural landoform. Jim Garvin, a chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, states that if "alien markings" existed on Mars, they would have been discovered because the image of the Face was enlarged 3 times the pixel size. Also, the Face resembles a butte or mesa, common landforms around American West. In fact, Garvin also says, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." This is an "isolated mesa" that is almost the same height as the Face.
Proven with facts, the Face on Mars is just a natural landorm. Outerspace has many wonderful discoveries. With proper research and equipment,
Those discoveries can be made just like the Face. | 1 |
The war has affected the lives of hundreds maybe even thousands of people. I think we should help those people in need if you are with me sign up to be a seagoing cowboy. A seagoing cowboy is someone who takes care of animals that are shipped over sea. Then brings them to the people that need help since the war ruined their food supply or cattle.
It is kinda hard to care for the animals but its not to much of a challenge. I used to help out on my aunts farm all the time and that gave me some experience. It also is a little disgusting to clean the stalls the first time but I pulled through it and eventually I got used to it. My favorite part has to be traveling when i get some free time its fun to go sight seeing.
As a seagoing cowboy you go all around the world and visit amazing places but there are sad moments aswell. When I found out that people other than me are being affected by the war and some are suffering worse, that opened up my eyes. I thought to myself thats why I joined the seagoing cowboys after all not just because I wanted to see the world but also to help people in need.
Lastly being a seagoing cowboy isnt just an adventure its much more. Its part of our future. We need to help everyone in the world through this hard time. Being a seagoing cowboy will help do that. Please consider the offer and sign up. | 2 |
I think using the Facial action coding system in students in a classroom is not good and the same thime bad. The students shouldt be using that they dont know what can go wrong.
The technology in 2018 is getting bigger and smarter. The technology is taking over jobs and everything. The facil action coding can be use for some important hings like like they can use it in the police office or somewhere that they really need it. The students can choose to use it or not they wont do it if they dont want to thats like making u do it. Some students will be surpice and some afraid of what might happen to them if something goes wrong. The technology makes alot of great things to hellp us who needs it. Teachnology can end up with the world if bad people do bad things to technology. I just want to be safe and have technology that helps me do good in my life. I maybe use the facial action coding to see how my emotions are but not use it for fun every minute. The Facial Action coding should work just find so all students can use it if is lik e we trying to see if it works good then the students shouldt use it.
I think that the Facial Action Coding should only be use when that person wants to try it and is not scare of what would happen if sometimes goes wrong while checking her or his emotions. Techology sometimes is bad and good but more times is for the good ways to us. | 1 |
"Hello, I'm OTHER_PII, scientist at NASA. So tell us OTHER_PII, why you think that the Face was created by aliens."
"Well, no one knows for sure if aliens really live on Mars. Under those faces could be the homes of the aliens," OTHER_PII claims.
"Do you believe that the Face could just be part of mars creation," OTHER_PII questions OTHER_PII.
"No. I believe that all planets just existed, and aliens formed from particals of the space atmosphere, and humans from fish and plants on the earth. The Face has to be the home to the aliens." OTHER_PII strongly believes that the Face is home of the aliens and it wasn't formed naturally.
"Many people think that its the way the planet was made. Why do you, OTHER_PII believe differently?" OTHER_PII is stong in questioning OTHER_PII for his belief.
"I don't believe that because its how I was raised. The Earth and all other planets were already existing before people. Through my childhood people told me that my family was crazy for believeing it, but no matter what I will not stop. It's my belief and no one can change it. What i believe is what I think is true."

"Okay OTHER_PII, thank you so much for your time. There you have it folks, another believer that it was aliens who created the Face." | 0 |
On Mars we have discovered a landmark that seems to resemble a face. Some believe it was made by aliens. People believe this because of how much it resembles a human face. However they do not have evidence to back that up.
Scientists can prove that their claims are inaccurate. They can prove this because, there is landmarks like this in the Midwest of America. Scientists belive that it was just another Martian mesa. Martian mesas are common around Cydonia. The only difference was this one had unusual shadows which caused others to believe it was made by aliens.
Astronauts from NASA went back up again to get another picture. They had took a good picture. Although peoplethat believed it was made by aliens argued it was a cloudy picture. NASA sent another mission up into space to prove them wrong once again. They took a picture on a clear day and still found no proof that it was alien made. This time they used a better camera so people who believed could not say it was because of the picture this time.
In conclusion you can't prove that it was alien made. Scientists have proven again and again that aliens did not make the Mesa. It may look as if someone, or something has made it but that did not happen. It is just an odd shaped Mesa like the ones in the Midwest. | 2 |

Source 1
Elizabeth Rosenthal gives information on Germany's car-free cities and shows her support of the idea. I belive that a car-free day as shown in
Source 2 in Paris is a good idea for two reasons. First, a single day of no use of automobiles can be extremely beneficial to the ecosystem. Second, it is shown tobe less stressful and safer to those who participate in the event.
The benefits of a car-free day far outweigh the slight inconvenience that it may bring. In the event in paris they had a 60 percent decrease in traffic congestion and before the car-free day paris had 147 micrograms of pollution in the air and after the car-free day it had a measley 79.9 microgram count, thats impressive. not to mention this is only a 24-hour event everyone can sacrifice that ammount of time for a great cause like this.
Secondly, there are several records of people claiming that they feel less stressed like citizen of Vauban, Germany, like Hiedrun Walter. No automobiles means no traffic, no loud horns or loud engines in the middle of the street. Plus, you will be able to enjoy exercise and taking a train or Taxi to you're destination which allows for a more public and social experience for those who participate, and not to mention you could be fined if you dont participate.
In conclusion, I feel that it is highly beneficial to the ecosystem to limmit car usage even if only for a day. It's a slight sacrifice for a potentialy huge gain. It can also prove to cause less stress than every day transportation that were used to. | 2 |
Have you ever been able to understand what your face does when you are feeling something? It can read there feelings and find the best way for them to learn it. It can tell if they are really upset or if they are just faking it. It could explain to us why people make the faces that we make in every day life. This would be a good tool to use in the classroom.
This tool can help kids that kids that get bored easily to become more interactive. This program can show us what the child is thinking so we understand and can help them with this. This is a new program that definetly can help us in the future to understand peoples feeling. This could also be something physicatrist should use on there patients before they see them. Get a picture of there face and figure out how they are feeling.
This could also help teacher understand if a child is hiding something. This new program can show if the kids are truely smiling or faking it. This is another thing physicitrist could use on the people they are evalating to see if they are hiding behind an smile and help them find a way to come out of there shell. Since this is compared to a neutral face there will always be something on there mind and always will be a felling cordinatted with that. This could help help ad makers to make ads more exciting and to make more so they people will actually start buying some of the products and not just srolling past them and waiting on them to go away.
This could be a good new thing for people to use. This can help a lot of people to read others. This technology can be used for many different things. This can be good to people in certian professions to understand people more. This will be a helpful resource and a great tool for people and this will make understanding people reactions easier. | 2 |
I will say yes I think is a good idea to use the new technology "Facial Action Coding System. I think this new technology is great to use so we can find how the sudents are feeling while they are in the school with teachers or friends so thats why I think this new technology is going to be great if we used to see what are the feelings of other people while they are smiling or they using a fake smile in front of other people.
Like in this passage they are trying to make Mona Lisa smile, but I see she was not feeling really happy. What I read in this passage about how they were trying to make Mona Lisa to smile it was a good way to use the new technology. In paragraph 9 they said, "By the way, did making a happy fave in this experiment also make you feel slightly happy." another quote they use it was "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion. moving your facial muscles not only expresses amotions, but also may even help produce them in a good way."
Lastly, for these reason the new technology can do a lot for all the people. Because we can see what are they feelings and maybe we can try to help them. Another good reason this quotes can help us is because some of them explain what the "Facial Action Coding" is a good way to figure out and it is eassy to used with out hurting people or making them to feel wrong if they are making a fake smile while they are doing the process.
In conclusion what the author said it was Mona Lisa is only 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and only 2 percent angry. | 1 |
MAY 24, 2001 is when it all started something unusal landed on plant mars a head that was about 2 miles long from end to end.ALSO it showed shadows of a unusal face with a head a mouth eyes nose and whatever else.ON the day of
the strange unusal head falling on the plantet of mars its was very strange because it had unusal body parts.
Its says that there must have been a Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on mars thas when the scientist figured out that it just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia.only thing is that it made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh a few days later NASA unvieled the image for all to see. Caption noted a ''huge rock formation''... which resembles a human head ..... formed by shadows giving all illusion of eyes,nose,and mouth''. The author reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to mars.while discussing it with one of the the scientist it was very strange because alliens kept getting brought up in our conversation its was all seeming very strange to me.Then i finally discovered that what if its was brought down by alliens strange feeling i kept getting i didnt really want to believe what the scientist was saying to me abut the alliens.That next day i couldnt queit think well bout alliens was gettting brought up back to back in our conversation.
After all that we talked about it was just a natural landform silly me thinking what if alliens did bring it down but that couldnt seem true.my adive is that if u think something is strange and unusal discover it first you might find out all the information on it.Always keep in mind is you discover something and find out the truth you get a better feeling about yourself and other thing too. | 1 |
Are the students using the technology to read their emotional expressions? Is it good? Using the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because some new computer software that can recognize emotions, technology can make a smile to our face, and students can relax their stress by using technology. If students uses technology, they can get a lot of benefits from it.
Some new computer software that can recognize emotions because everybody has their emotion like happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness these are associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. If students was so confused, their mind will not recognize on their homework. They cannot be focus their education and they don't know what did they learn, how to do their homework. Using by technology like a looking funny videos, they can recognize their emotions.
Technology can make a smile to our face because how much technology can do by playing games, looking funny videos, and like a using facebook. Imagine a computer that knows when youre happy or sad. For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery that's why technology can make a smile to our face.
Students can relax their stress by using technology because when they were sad or confused, they can relax their stress on online. For example- playing video games, looking funny movies on facebook or youtube. So they would be laughing when they looked funny movies. If they want someting, the can buy that on the online shopping. It will be cool. Students have every classes' homework, sometimes they will bore and confuse if they don't know how to do it. So they can relax by using technology.
I agree students are using technology is great because it makes a smile on their faces. When they were bored or aloned, technology can makes a partner them. If students were seperated country each other, they can call video call and they can text messages by using technology texting apps so using technology is great. They can buy dresses, phones, makeup etc....by using technology that online shopping. They can play games and can watch funny movies when they were bored. Technology can help their mind will fresh and can make a smile on their face. | 3 |
I think that if technology could read students emotional expressions, it would make things easy to find out if someone is upset, mad, happy, and much more. So if someone was to be depressed and they do the best they could to hide it from many people even their family members or friends. So what im tying to say is that if technology could actually help detect those types emotions it could stop people from hurting them selfs. Because many people have comittide sucide due to depression or hate, so if the technology could read the students emotions or anyone one else's then it could prevent stuff like suicide or someone going after someone else. Technology could help people find ways to stop things like that from ever happening so I think the value of using technology like that could help many people out and save a life, a whole lot of lives.
Like in the article it talked about how they wanted know the emotions The Mona Lisa had, right? Well by havingn that type of technology, it could tell us all the emotions that The Mona Lise had. In the artical it even said that, by using all 44 major muscles in the model of a human like muscles a person has in real life it could help detect the emotions a person has and it would also tell about the emotions a painting could of had or does. It should be a very helpful pice of technology that could help change many things and help others give a smile to someone who is feeling sad or mad about something. | 1 |
Many places in the world, seem to be faceing similar problems; Traffic, pollution, and stress.
Some advantages to limiting the usage of cars; is to reduce stress, help the enviorment, and less traffic jams. In "Car-Free Cities" Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, stated "when i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Also in this new approach people are more accessible to public transportation. The United State's Enviromental Protection Agency has started promoting "car reduced" communities. This is a great benefit to the people and the enviorment.
Congestion in the streets of France seem to be a mayor problem. Also "smog" has occured in the air because of various motor vehicles. In Source Two: "Paris bans driving due to smog" after ordering people with even-numbered license plates to leave their cars at home the congestion of smog and traffic went down by 60 percent. Since cars with certain license plates weren't allowed on the street certain days people were given free public transportation,"public transit was free of charge from Friday to Moday". which has also reduced pollution.
In source three: "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" also demonstartes the positiveaspects of limited car usage. Even buissness man Carlos Arturo Plaza is talking about it, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Colombia's way to reduce pollution and the smog in the air is by promoting alternative transportation. If people decide to go against the day of no cars in the street, they will be faced with $25 fines. It was such a positive outcome that two more cities other than Bogota decided to join, Cali and Valledupar, joined the event. But throughout time Enrique Riera, the mayor of Asuncion,Paraguay commented "these people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders." This campaign began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. this event has dramatically cut traffic; and new restrants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up.
The advantages of limiting the car usage, helps the enviorment by not causing much pollution to the air, because of the motor vehicles. Causes less stress and tension to people that have a motorized vehicles,also causes less traffic collisions and more space. | 2 |
Luke took a trip with a friend and he went to may uneque places as a part of the
UNRRA AKA the united Nations
Relif and Rehabitation Administration. Would'nt you love to be on a cattle boat and sail to unique places and help people in need? In the passage Luke does exactally that. He sailed across to many places providing food, cattle and shelter for the people and animals lost there food and homes in the war. Just imagine how much you would others that had just experianced alot of pain ina war and had lost there homes and had no food to eat of no place to sleep and may have even lost friends and family.
In this passage Luke is also worryed about him having to go into the tmillitary because of his age and at the time you would often be shiped off to boot camps and millitary schools at the age of 18.
The main idea of this passage is a man and Luke going to sea to help others in need of food and shelter. One of the many places they went where New Orleans they arrived in New Orleans in 1945 where they where told to go to and take 335 horses and food items for the hoses so they didnt die on the way to New Orleans. | 1 |
Dear state senator,
The Electoral College is a process of choosing the United States president that was created when the Constitution was written. Electors from each state choose a candidate for their state based on the people's popular vote. Some people believe the Electoral College should be abolished while others want to keep the system. The Electoral College should be abolished in the United States and the president should be chosen by popular vote for several reasons.
Of course, there are many valid points why the Electoral College is still a good system and should be kept. "The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region (South, Northeast,etc.) has enough electoral votes to elect a president..." (Posner,19). This stops one specific region of the US, especially if the president is dominantly popular in that region, from being the main decision for president, so every state in every region has a fair chance in deciding the president. Also, "The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution..." (Posner,21). This gives larger states that have more voting citizens a bigger influence on the desision of the president than smaller states that have less voting citizens unlike how the Senate gives an equal number of representatives to each stater reguardless of the states size. However, all these arguments to keep it lack good logical reasoning and are outdated. So, we should abolish the Electoral College and give the choice of the election to the people through popular vote.
The first reason we should get rid of the Electoral College is the system is outdated and unfair. "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president..."(Plumer, 10). What this means is the electoral college is non-democratic in the fact that the people don't choose their leader, the electors do based on the peoples choice but in the end its all up to them. Also, a state with more electors will have a bigger impact on the choice than one with less so it doesn't really come down to the peoples' choice, it comes down to what state you live in. Another argument is "Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the 'swing' states..."(Plumer, 13). | 2 |
Limmiting car usage could be benificial to our scociety. Cars poulute our atmosphere and cause alot of deaths and damage. Furthermore cars cost a lot of money. Limmiting car usage would cause less car crashes, give us more exersise, and ease up on polution.
Cars cause alot of deaths in america. People get in car crashes all the time and most of the time they wind up dead. Cars also cause also cause infrastucture damage.
Cars cause alot of polution. Cars put out monoxide which is bad for the enviorement. Monoxide is the cause of global warming. plus cars use oil wich drainds our natural resources. And if the car crashes that oil leaks out into the envirorment.

During my life i have watched meny presidental elections on my telivision. To me the Electoral College on papper should work, Should being the key word. As I read the paragraphes on both why the Electoral College work and does not work I have decides the side with not haveing the Electoral College.
Historical evidence and evidence from this paragraph piont to not haveing a Electoral College. One reason for this was when Al Gore lost the presedency but won the populure vote nation wide as stated in Source 2. Anouther piont is that if the people have so munch power over who is voted to be presedent then how do we have a presedent that the people did not want the president but the person is still elected, its an outrage! One example of how the Electoral College chould be a distaster waiting to happen is that rthe votes are tied which may seem not likey at forstn glance but say if the votes are tied the presedency is thrown into the House of Representatives which lets face it, in the end the desision will not be approved by the people and the people will then barly have a say on who gets to be presedent or not. Another thing is the Electoral College can also be vary bisest towrdes one party or the other. This is evident because if a certine party got more electors than another party which whould led to a canedat from one party have more support then another.
Source 3 talks about how sure thats its posssable for their to be a tie in the Electoral College but its unlikey supports what im trying the say in my earlyer Paragraph, that even though a tie is unlikey it is still possible to happen the chance is still their. This paragraph also says the everyone is a president but if that is the case then why dose the poeple that "we" vote for the eclectoral College help vote for the presedent insted vote for the other canadate is an atrosidy on its own. The winner-take-all system is one that only afects the swing states because if thoughs states have already voted then the staes the already votes whould be for not because the numbers for who gets voted whould be already in favor of one state or another. The fact the larger states have a bigger say in who gets voted on is not fair. the is becuase if all the big states vote for someone and about 1/4 of the smaller states vote on one end of the scale and the other states vote towrdes the other end of the scale then the ballence whould be off and one side would overpower the other side by fact of shear numbers of votes compared to the other side.
After reading over my responce and the evidence that I have profided form the paragraph hear I have with great pride that i have argued my point across to you that the Electoral College in papper is good but in reality is only a crumbleing castle waiting to fall into the tiny bites and pieces that it should be. | 3 |
I think that that facial recognition is an okay thing. The reason im not totally against it is because i think it could help some people going into a career that needs to know how to read body language. The reason im not totally with it is because i think its weird. I dont think that a computer should know what a persons emotions are, or what you feel. I think there is no need for it.
Why would a computer need to tell you what someone is feeling... I think if you go to a therapist and they need a computer to tell you whats wrong you, thats just making the world more distant that is alreadly is. We already talk to people through computers, which makes you not leave the house. So if you have a computer tell you what someones emotions are then you are making them not talk to people, and people need human interactions.
I think it could help some people because some people cant talk, so you use it to tell what they are trying to say or feel. It could help people learn more about the human body and anatomy.
In conclusion it could go either way so it could be bad and it could be nice. Different people have different opinions on it. | 1 |
Technology is moving very quickly during this century. Having driverless cars is just amazing. You wouldn't have to worry about too many accidents on the road. I believe that future cars are going to be smarter than people.
First off human drivers do not keep their hands on the wheel the whole time they are driving. BMW has made cars with special touch sensors that make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel the whole time. This part of the technology will help a lot out with those reckless drivers. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires. GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object. Also the Google car announces when the driver should be prepared to take over. These special features in cars will help prevent road accident. Even though this driverless cars are fully driverless they will set a big mark in the vehicle industry. | 1 |
In this article, the author talks about how the Facial Action Coding system works by analyzing the movement of facial muscles to enterprate human emotion. This kind of technology would be useful in many situations, especially in a classroom setting. Schools can use this system to further understand the needs of students and find more effective ways to teach, based on the way a student feels. Kids that are too shy to speak their minds about a subject and ask for help could really benefit from this innovation. It allows for administrators and teachers to help out a child that looks confuzed in a subject.
The article states that "A classroom computer could recognized when a students is confuzed or bored". This allows for the computer program to modify the lesson in a way to create a more effective way of teaching.
Becuase it can detect when a student is bored, it could also make the lesson more fun for the kids. This creates a postive stigma towards learning new things which build confidence and motivation. If more schools started using this technology, we would see a rise in test scores and attendance. This is true because more kids would want to learn.if it means that they are having fun while doing it.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System is very useful in terms of creatng a better school environment for kids. It would detect things such as confusion or boredom which the schools can use to change the way kids learn for the better. | 2 |
Have you ever thought about what life would be like without cars? I bet you're thinking about all the cons but see no pros. Did you know that "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe . . . and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States"? Imagine how low those percentages would be if we stoped using cars. For the past years there has been efforts to try and make citites denser and better for walking. This would not only be good for our environment and ecosystem but also for ourselves. We could use the fresh air and excercise.
"In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting "Car reduced" communities, and legislators are starting to act, if cautiously. Many experts expect public tranport serving suburbs to play a much larger role in a new six-year federal transportation bill to be approved this year." "In pervious bills, 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport." In Paris, after an intense near-record of polution, they enforced a partial driving ban to try and clear the air of bad gasses. After a few days of doing so, they noticed that car traffic had lowered 60 percent after several days of intensifying smog. In BOGOTA, Colombia, they they created a program that's set to spread to other countries in hope for them to do the same and had a car-free day. Millions of Colombians participated and did everything possible to avoid traffic jams and leave the street empty. Their goal was to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. "It's a good apportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." All of these are many great advantages that are caused by limiting car usage. | 1 |
I think tecknology like this would most defintely help teachers understand whats going on with students. most students are good at hiding their true emotions they will come to school with a smile but really they are feeling depressed.
This tecknology would help teachers read their students better and be able to help with any issues. Why would this be good tecknology to have? It would be great because teachers then would be able to prevent fights allowing more students to be at school instead of suspended or expelled, Would make students open up more if teachers knew what kids were sad and which ones were happy.
I think this could be the answer to school bullying because the kids with the most anger are probably the blulliers and the kids who are felling sad or the ones who are felling fearful are the kids who are being bullied.
This tecknology would be very useful for schools, teachers, and students. with tecknology like this I dont see why every school could'nt be a safe happy enviornment where all kids feel safe and content, and even teachers would feel content cause they will understand how every student is feeling during that class. | 1 |
Driverless cars can sound like a wonderful idea to most people, knowing they won't have to drive themselves anywhere anymore. They may even think that since it's driverless they can just sit there and play on their phone, not paying attention to anything on the road. Is that really as safe as they say it will be? Yes, you won't have to drive anywhere, but does that mean we should really trust it?
In my opinion, driverless cars sound dangerous. There are many questions asked that haven't been answered, which makes me feel uneasy. The BMW Traffic Jam Assistant sounds like a great idea. If that were in every car you buy now, I dont think we would even need driverless cars. That little modification to a car can make a big difference. I feel as if that would be safer than a self driving car.
In the driverless cars, a system would be powering and driving your car. What if that system malfunctions and/or has a glitch? Would it be the individuals fault or the manfacturers fault? This question has many different answers from different individuals. My answer would be that it would be the cars fault. It's not the individuals fault that the car had a huge malfunction in the system, it's the company's fault. The individual wasn't even driving the car to begin with. Now, if they make it to where the person can still control the car while the system is driving it, that's a different story.
In conclusion, driverless cars can be very dangerous. I feel that people should just drive themselves where they want to go. It's not that hard to drive yourself. the driverless cars that have a malfunction in the system could be a big problem when driving. The Traffic Jam Assistant would be a great idea for regular cars that you drive yourself. It would help with many things drivers never pay attention to now-a-days. Driverless cars should not make an appearance in the world, just to keep everyone safe on the road. | 2 |
Luke should join the Seagoing Cowboys because Luke can help countries that need food and water. Luke can help animals that have to be shiped across the ocean. cattle boat trips can be unbelievable for people that live in a small town and never get to go on trips. Luke can like helping people, and Luke can do differnt jobs for the Seagoing Cowboys, he could be night watchman. Seagoing Cowboys can be more than an adventure.
Luke can help people that are in needed for water,and food,and they need homes. Luke can take animals like cow's and horses. If Luke had got the opportunity to do this. He could take bales of hay to the animals and bags of oats for the poeple. when Luke was child he had work with his aunt on a farm.
Sometimes being a Seagoing Cowboys can be bad but luke can handle it. Their could be apossablitty that you could get hurt and break a bone or break a rib. If you need anything to be clean Luke could do it. The only time it would be hard to work is when it is raining. Because if it was raining the ship could possable sink.
Luke would love to have the job it is once in a life opportunity to have the job. | 1 |
Voting for a president is one of the most important decisions you can make. This person you vote for will be changing the country for better, or for worse. Electoral colleges are a way to see what each of the states want, although some people don't seem to like it. However, I belive it is a good way to see the majorities of the states, which will take account for the majority of the country.
Some people say that electoral colleges aren't a good way to determine which president is good for the country. They say that it's non-democratic. (source #3) However, you are still voting for the person you want. The people are still making a great contribution to the decision. Because in the big picture, your vote really does count. It's a lot better than not being able to contribute at all. Of course things can be better, but the thing is; everything can be better in some way. Theres no such thing as something that can't be improved in some way. And there is obviously no way at all that you will be able to please everyone. So I think the electoral college is a good way to avarage up all the votes.
While there are a lot of variables in this system, it would be difficult to come up with a more solid way. The main complaint is that people think that this system is not a good way to show who the people really want. However, I think this is is not true. You are voting to get the electoral college votes for the president you think will do a better job guiding the country. Your vote truly does count. It adds more chance of the electoral college voting for your side. It shows that all the states are one, and the majority vote shows what side the people of the state want. And that seems like a nice idea to me.
Some of the counter arguements for electoral colleges is that the bigger states get more recignition. And this is true, but isn't that how it should be? Theres more people in the bigger states, so there will be more votes. However, they all count the same, so they don't really get any special advantage. The electoral college is a fair way to really show what the country wants, and some people don't like it, and I think this is a normal occurance.
The electoral college is a good way to show what all of the states want, by putting the majority vote into account to put electoral votes to show what president should be the leader of the country. There are admittedly some problems to it, but I think there would be even more problems with putting it to a popular individual vote. Every system has it's quirks, but overall, the electoral college is a great way to put all of the votes into account, and it's very more organized in the long run. It may not work for everyone, but honestly, nothing can. | 3 |
Many people believe that the landform on Mars was created by Aliens. Many Web sites, magizenes and people do not have enough information to correcty assume that the Face on Mars is an Alien monument or creation. Many people just guess without really having adiquite information. We do have enough information to know that when the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) flew over Mars and took pictures of the Face it was not Alien made.
We know for a fact that the Face on Mars is not an Alien creation. The first Mars Obiter Camera (MOC) or the Viking 1 took blurry photos of the Face on Mars and we could not clearly see the object. Twenty-five years later the MGS was sent to take better quality pictures of the Face and when it came back, the photos were ten times more sharper than the Viking 1´s. Now we could clearly speculate that the Face was just another Mars landform.
On Earth there are simialr landforms like the Snake River in Idaho. We have found that the Face is a lava dome under the surface of Mars. We understand how much of an influence the Media can have and you shouldn´t believe them. Again, they do not have as much information as we do on the Face on mars. Thanks to our new pictures from the MGS, we can safely say that there is no Alien temple or monument on Mars. | 2 |
Machines get smarter everyday. It's something most of us see, but may not take into consideration. Think about it. Your search history, your GPS destinations, even your Wifi hotspots. The machines gather information about us to make our lives easier. Most of the times, it's a good thing. They help us by reminding us of things and let us connect to the rest of the world with just a few keystrokes. However, this FACS, would have a major impact in the school system. It would be a terrible decision to implement FACS into the school system.
Don't get me wrong, I love technology. It's improved and become what many consider just a dream. It always us to do many things that we could not do physically. I'd go as far to say that they're smarter than us in a few ways. They give results and they learn more and more about us. To some, that's concerning. To think that machines are secretly learning about human behavior and plotting plans to take care of the world. Most don't care or don't mind. Either way, people have different views on this.
Which brings me to my new point, implimentation of the Facial Action Coding System in schools. The Facial Action Coding System, or FACS, is a profiler. Profilers monitor how a subject works, thinks, acts, and even feels. Scary, huh? Put that into a school system and you may just have found treasure trove of blackmail. Now, I know what some will say. "This system will help us help the students", or "FACS will help decrease school shootings". Those individuals make good points, but there's one thing you have to consider. Human behavior. People don't just cough up how they feel most of the time. To have an eye watching them and judging them will only make them hate it more. It may make people feel worse off than they originally were.
I'll end with this. Yes, the system could be beneficial, as long as it's in the right hands. Privacy is a critical part of people's lives and most like it not to be broken into. To have this system in the school system would be a bad call. Especially high schools. Those are some seriously tough times for some, and pushing those people could result in an event. A very bad event. | 2 |
Driverless cars have many advantages and disadvantages. A few advantages are easier transportation for older people, handicapped and mentally challanged, also there will less accidents once the cars are completely driverless. Some disadvantages are how expensive the cars are with all the new technology and mechanics all around will have to learn an entirely new method of fixing cars.
The transportation of older people, the handicapped and mentally challanged will be one of the greatest triumphs. Once a person gets old, their senses deteriorate causing them to drive slower and possibly cause accidents. With the handicapped it will give them the feeling of driving again, more so with people who have lost their ability to walk and can not transport themselves. Finally, with the mentally challanged, they will experiance driving themselves without causing danger to other people and will not have to completely rely on their parents or care taker to tote them around everywhere. With the driverless cars, the new technology will make it safer for these types of people to get around and still have others around be safe as well.
On the other side of the spectrum though, there are many disadvantages to having driverless cars. One being, the cars will be very expensive, they have so much new technology that goes into them and so many safety features. The price will set many back from trying to buy one and what would be the use if only the people who did not need them, had them? Next, many mechanics will have to learn a brand new method of fixing driverless cars, more so all the types of sensors and trackers. The learning process can take many months to someone who needs it fixed right now and will set many other from trying to be a mechanic.
To end off with, there will be fewer accidents once driverless cars are all around. The sensors will take away the need for the driver to stopgo and yeild to tother vehicles and pedestrians. This will be a big leap from how many accidents we have each year and revent untimely deaths. This is also big for people who text and drive or drink and drive. The risk for drinkers and texters is greatly reduced if not prevented from driverless cars.
Finally, the driverless cars has multiple advantages as well as multiple disadvantages. many advantages are old people, hanicapped, and mentally challanged have a way to get around and fewer accidents. The disadvantages are the cars will be very expensive and all the mecahnics learning a brand new way to fix a car. | 3 |
The face here at NASA is not created by aliens. Here at NASA Mars Global Survey spacecraft we have revealed that the Face on Mars for what it reallys is: A mesa.
Just like said in praragraph 7 " 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 then the original Viking photos". Here at NASA we have sent a lot of our people out to take pictures to prove others wrong that this Face wasn't created by aliens. "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the imagee appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform". After all there was no alien monument! People then told us that the camera had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. We had already proved to everyone that aliens hadn't created the Face.
At NASA we had proven that the picture actually shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa which is landforms common around the American West. After all there wasn't any aliens who created the picture and we proved that it was just a natural landform and that there was no alien monument after all! | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System is a new software that enables computers to identify human emotions. This software detects how other people are feeling even if they are trying to hide their emotions. Prof. Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute of Advanced Science at the University of Illinois, is the creator of this expectacular software. The use the Facial Action Coding System to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is helpful.
This computer software works with emotion algorithms. According to the passage, "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." Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's Renaissance painting, was tested with this software. A recent study shows that Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, 2 percent angry. The Facial Action Coding System uses video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements. The text also states that this software can even identify mixed emotions.
The Facial Action Coding System is helpful at schools. With the help of this software, teachers could know when a student is sad or angry. This computer software can also detect mixed emotions. This new software could even save lifes. For example, nowadays with the bullying's situation, a teacher would detect when a student is being bullyied or if the student is under a depression. The teacher could help him and prevent any type of accident. The software can help at schoosl in other ways. The text states, "'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Hung predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'"
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System has been developed that improves accuracy in perciving the emotions of others. Making faces reveal so much about the science of emotions. Becuase of this software, teachers could see when a student is sad or angry and the teacher could help him. The software could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. The use the Facial Action Coding System to read the emotion expressions of students in a classroom is helpful. | 2 |
Do you really think that there is a face on mars? Think about it, is that really logical? I am going to explain to you why this idea is not logical. I think that the face on mars is just the background for a couple of reasons. These are my reasons.
First, it is impossible for there to be aleins because there is no water. Every living organism needs water. Another reason why it cannot be aliens is that when they did a close up they didnt find anything. The camera was special because it caught even the smallest of things. For example, if there was some sort of shack, this camera's lens could spot it, as said in paragraph 11. Another reason why i think that this could just be a coincidence is that every planet has oddly shaped landmarks. For example, earth has rocks hat are all placed in a circle in Ireland.
In conclusion, this why I think that this face on mars is just a coincidence and a landmark. These reasons are why you should believe my theory. Thinking that it is some kind of alien landmark is a uneducated idea. These are my reasons. | 1 |
Driverless cars. Sounds great right? Just a relaxing drive without rush, seems grand. However to me, it doesn't seem rational. How does the idea of cars that are able to be used on it's own sound? As in the article, it states that driving laws want to keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe. If we go "smart" everything will be technology based. Which is just one reason for an internet crash and more technical problems. Driving without alert humans? How "smart" does that sound?
I understand the idea, and to me it sounds cool. But are we going to risk several other problems to look cool? Driverless cars might be useful; to the handicap, those without legs. They could also be used to those who aren't as good drivers. It notifies the driver when the car needs attention so it would seem okay to just watch what's going on. However, Driverless cars would be tempting for drivers to not pay attention. If they don't pay attention, it could cause wrecks, accidental turns, who knows? You might end up at the wrong place. Lawmakers themself even agree that safety is best achieved with alert drivers. Also, if we went driverless, it would give drunks an "ok" to drive because technically, they aren't driving.. which would cause a whole nother problem.
If we went driverless, it would look cool for awhile, but eventually everything would crash. The cars might not be programmed correctly, people would put the blame on the car and not themself, it would cost us a tremendous amount of more money. From the actual car itself; to all the problems it would cause. We would need to change all the roads and enable electrical cables. Requiring "massive upgardes to existing roads, something that is simply to expensive to be practical." The article states. If the google cars aren't truely driverless, people have to be alert in case of complicated traffic issues. Do you honestly think people would pay attention? Or will it become such a habit and easy to just sleep on the way to work at least one time. Should we take a risk to look cool and "change the world?" Or is it possible to improve technology in a differnet way that keeps drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe and happy. | 2 |
The use of technology that reads the emotional expressions of a student in a classroom would serve nothing more than to repress human emotions and negitivly effect students. If implimented the system would cause students to be disingenuous to how they truely feel, be innifective due to the faking of facial expressions, and could lead to the dehumanization of students.
First of all by having "a computer that knows when you're happy or sad," you encourage students to repress themselves. If a computer can know when your happy or sad some students may feel as if they need to be happy all the time in order to empress their instructors, and potentially recive a higher grade.
Second of all the very nature of the system is highly flawed. Human beings are exellant at deception and can fake facial expressios, the article dirrectly states this saying, "putting on a happy face actually works! A renowned drama coach, Constaintin Stanislavsky, had actors carefully reproduce smiline and frowing as a way of creating these emotions on stage." Students could simply learn how to fake expressions and decive the computer.
Third of all the presise monitoring of human emotions is detrimental to what it means to be Human. Human beings should not be analyzed and "compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion)." Humans are meant to be talked to and interacted with not monitored and watched by a machine.
If this system were to be implimented people would suffer, students would become more and more disingenous and be dehumanized by a system that doesnt even work. For all of these reasons and for the potential consequences thats students would face, this system should not be implimented. | 2 |
Dear state senator,
There has been some conterversy between whether we should keep the Electoral College or changing the election to popular vote for the president. There are pros and cons to each method of voting. The Electoral College has been around since the beginning of our country. Most of the time it is successful (there have been a few times problems have occured but rarely it happens). As time has passed and we enter a more modern age, people have started to feel that the Electoral College does not work and we should all switch to just a regular popular vote. However, even though there have been a few problems in the past about this system, the Electoral College is still the best method of voting.
It is hard to argue that there are some problems with the Electoral College. "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." (Bradford Plumer). The public is starting to not like that their vote is not directly going toward the presidential vote but towards a group of electors that decide the fate of the presidency. "the Electoral College method is not emocratic in a modern sense." (Richard A Posner). The public is also starting to feel that this is not a true Democracy with this system. "Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people." (Bradford Plumer). The public is starting to not like that feeling that the electors can just turn on the public and not vote for what some people want (and it has happened a few times in the past). "'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please." (Bradford Plumer). That is another worry of the public, no matter what party the elector belongs to, they can vote for anyone they want. "Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the elcetion would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president."(Bradford Plumer). The people are also not liking the fact that an elector representing a small amount of people has as much to say as an elector representing millions of people. All and all, it is hard to deny that there are a few problems with the electoral college and that this causes the public to worry come election time.
However, despite the worries and concerns that some people may have, the Electoral College is still the best method for voting. "The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote." (the Office of the Federal Register). People must remember that this system is a compromise for the election and that any change could lead to problems among the government again. The public must also remember that "each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee".(Richard A. Posner). This system also can often prevent disputes. "A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible...but it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. The reason is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share or the popular vote." (Richard A. Posner). Along with the fewer disputes, it also creates standards for the candidate. " The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal...This is a desirable result because a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president." (Richard A. Posner). Another benefit to this system is that it causes voters to pay closer attention to the election. "Voter in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign." (Richard A. Posner). Along with the more aware voters, the Electoral College is also very beneficial to the big states. "The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution." (Richard A. Posner). And lastly, the Electoral Collee helps avoid run-off elections. "There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast; that pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential election process, is reduced by the Electoral College, which invariably produces a clear winner." (Richard A. Posner). To sum it all up, there are many benefits to the Electoral College.
All and all, the Electoral College is the best way for voting. With this system, there are many benefits to the election process that people may not realize. With benefits like it avoids run-off elections and it makes the voters more aware, some people still beleive that a popular vote is still the best way. It is important to remember that there is a reason that we have certain methods, to benefit our country. And that is what the Electoral College is, a benefit to our country. So senator, and based on the evidence given, it is important to keep the Electoral College for all the benefits it brings and for the sake of our great nation that we live in. | 4 |
There are several advantages in limiting car usage. It helps the environment, lowers the chance of crashing, removes stress, and also congestion.
A reason why limiting car usage is beneficial is that it helps the environment. In source 2, France reached several days of "near-record pollution". This is mainly because of the substantial numbers of cars in France. Since France is dependent more on Diesel rather than gasoline, it emits more pollution causing smog to be more evident. In paragraph 14, it states, "...[The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world.". China has far more than triple the population of France. Yet, France is able to reach the same level of smog as China. If an abundant amount of people continue to drive cars as the way they do, every country is going to have the smog problem Beijing and France are having. Also possessing so much smog is a safety hazard being that it limits your ability to see from a distance.
In addition, limiting car usage can reduce stress. In source 1, Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, said " When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way.". In source 3, Carlos Artuto Plaza quotes " its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". It is not only one person who can vouch on the reduction of stress by limiting car usage. A woman in Germany and a man in Colombia can both agree on the idea that limting car usage reduces stress. When you dont drive a car as much you have less things to worry about. Like, Fearing the possibilty of crashing, running out of gas, dealing with traffic, and several more problems. If someone drives less you would have less stress (in theory). The idea of stress reduction is an amazing advantage someone recieves if they limit their car usage.
Reducing car usage can also lower congestion. In source 2, "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france, after 5 days of intensyfying smog...". The implication of limited car usage brought the congestion down 60 percent. That is a major advantage since there is a decrease in the number of cars on the streets. This reduces traffic and allows people to reach their destination sooner than they would if it was more congested. The drop in congestion means that there are less cars on the streets so there would be a lesser chance of crashing. This is a factor that can reduce stress. The reduction of congestion is a positive product of the limitation of car use.
In closing, the limitation of car usage gives the advantage of aiding the environment, reducing the likelihood of crashing, stress, and congestion. | 3 |
Is it challenging to explore new thing , or new planets? sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is challenging but it all depends on what your are going to do.
In this article I read about humans researching information about the planet venus. In venus the temperature it's really really different than our temperatures. the temperature in Venus is 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the pressure is 90 times greater than what we have experience in our planet. Venus has the hottest surface tempature of any planet in our solar system. in paragraph 3 it says "average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Also in paragraph 3 it says
"Venus has the hottest surface tempature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun. This is saying that Venus is hot even though Mercury is close to the sun, Venus shoudn't be to hot. The nasa people has sent people to explore Venus. In Paragraph 5 it states " The national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
has ... idea for sending humans to sudy Venus."
In conclusion i strongly believe that people should start to explore new things even though it might be challenging to keep exploring new thing. | 0 |
Cars Driving Themselves?
How efficient could a car be with nobody behind the wheel? Many automobile companies like, Gerneral Motors and Berkeley, are contemplating the creation of a driverless car. A driverless car would require no help accerlerating, steering, braking, or any other task. A prototype has been created by Google's cofounder, Sergey Brin, who hopes to reduce the use of taxis and busses. If driverless cars are created, disaster will be the only task achieved.
For starters, companies will spend far too much money on trying to create this dream car of theirs. According to paragraph 4 in the "Driverless Cars Are Coming" reading, these cars will require many sensors, which are not cheap. Wasting money on uncertain creations, like this one, will ruin the company's budget plan. Of course, sensors are nothing new, but the excessive amount of money needed for them is unbelievable. No company should risk their money and, possibly, their bussiness on pure hope.
People may argue that they will never need their own car again, if a driverless car could just take them anywhere, but those people never think about how much they would have to pay for this car to take them anywhere. Yes, without a car, one would never have to pay for insurance or gas, but once those fees for the driverless car start stacking up, paying for insurance and gas would not be so bad. These cars are basically an overpriced taxi without a driver.
Safety is also a key factor. When riding in a driverless car, one is giving a computer the responsibilty of their life. According to paragraph 9, it is illegal in most states to even test driverless cars because of how dangerous they can be. Accidents are also bound to happen in these new cars, so what if the driverless car causes a severe accident? Will the owner of the car or the manufacturer be liable for the damage done? With cars driving themselves, accidents will be more likely to occur. The only positive way to keep drivers and the people around them safe is to have a human being manually driving the car.
Automakers are still testing and trying to improve the flaws of the driverless car, but they should reconsider their priorities. Companies such as, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have driverless cars by the year of 2020. These companies are putting a lot of time and money into a dangerous creation. Developing a car that could have a strong possibility of failing should not overshadow the safety of citizens. Supporting driverless cars is the beginning of giving up control. | 3 |
A New Era
Times are changing, and changing fast. While the car may once have been the ideal accessory to a rapidly changing world, people have now found that the opposite is now true. Limiting car usage is cheaper, better for the enviorment, and is quickly becoming the "cool" thing to do. America's facination with the 1950's fords are over, and a new era is upon us.
Cutting down on car usage is much cheaper. Between the expensive vehicle itself and enormous gas bill, It's more fiscally responsible to carpool, use public transportation, or even walk. Places like Vauban in Germany are just the start of a quickly growing social trend to make cars more expensive. As stated in Source 1, "There are only two places to park-Large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home". Places like Paris have even been known to enact partial driving bans at times, with 22-euro fines enacted for those who failed to follow the ban. Driving, an already expensive task, is increasingly becoming a task only the rich can afford.
Removing some of our outrageous motor vehicle usage is also good for the enviorment. As mentioned in Source 2, Smog that was already prevalent in places like Beijing, China has found it's way into modern European cities like Paris, with more to follow if we do't cut back, and soon. Paris has known to have over 147 Micrograms of pariculate matter per cubic meter, with other cities like Brussels and London having 114 and 79.7 respectively. If that didn't seem bad enough, it's worse in other areas. In some areas of the United States, passenger cars are responsible for up to 50% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Having a lower dependence on cars isn't just good for the enviorment, it's now become "cool". The amount of driving done by young people has decresased by 23 percent between 2001 and 2009, and even big companies are starting to notice. As stated in Source 3, Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, acknowleged the growing change, and even offered suggestions to help. He proposed a better system to save time and resources while improving gas emissions and public safety. Meanwhile in Bogota Colombia, Millions of citizens in participated"Day Without Cars," A yearly program set up in the city.
While 10 years ago might have painted a different picture, the writing on the wall is clear. There's a global trend for decreasing dependency on cars, and it's not looking to stop anytime soon. A once needed tool is quickly becoming less and less relevent, due to cheaper costs, less strain on the enviorment, and the always prevalent "cool factor." It's not the golden age of cars anymore, and about time changes were made to match modern day thinking. | 3 |
Planing. Can the tecnologic read face of the emocion of human. Scientit are makeing computer to keeping growing u. The most comun expression is the paint of Mona Lisa Smile. This paint can be express the emotion of happy, sadness and same more. The computer can read your face with your own muscle.
"Dr. Huang and his collenge are experts at developing better ways for human and computers to communicate". The main computer are growing up to be able accepting human. In the past nobody know the real face of tecnologic. The scientits are proving evidents the human can comunite witha none human. In other way the expression to seem a emotion through a computer is complice to understand, but the reason to develop the tectologic is to understand the human.
"She'83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. It's the subject of leonardo de Vinci's Renaissance painting."This argument can be decription of Leanardo's paint. The Mona Lisa Smile can be dectetive by a computer too. The way to decribe the same way. The happyness of the paint can tranfer us. She is happy but the same way to be happy is afear to do a mistake . The computer are showing work to be able to do it. The paint is the best work of Leonedo because is showing the real face of the human.
"Yet Dr. Huang OBserves that artists such as da Vinci studies human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to covery specific emotions."That way to identifies a reason to able read your face is the muscle. The way in each part of your face have a muscle that crear a feelinf acceptable. The face have a lot of muscle. The most muscle able to express is the smile. "Empathy (feeling sameone else's emocional state) may happen because we unconsciously imitate another person;s facial expressions."The next or side of the smile can show where is happyness. The term to asomeone accep you. Is the way to understand them first.
In coclusion a computer are able to read your face. The computer are developing to a human understand themself. The first moment of your face can be good or bad. Well sametime are deficult ourself to able smeli or cry. To have affect is a great emotion to feel. | 0 |
In this essay i will be explaining the difference and similarities and the pros and cons of the electoral college and opposing it. I personally like the idea of having the people themselves vote because the electors could change their mind and because it makes more sense to just vote for who you think should be president. As of right now i dont really care if it changes or not because i dont vote for another 4 years.
First, "Whats wrong with electoral college". one reason to pick electors is because its less people to keep count of. Having these electors is another step in the voting procces but it keeps things going easier. In conlusion, i dont agree with this, there is almost nothing i can think of that is good about this, unfortunutely.
Secondly, The great points of having the people themselves vote (which i agree with). One reason, is that electors can change their mind and vote for whoever they want and it could completely change the election. Secondly, This requires the president to go to all states exculding no one! This way all states feel equal and they feel like all of their votes matter. Another great reason is that they focus more on toss up states where people tend to pay more attention. Another good reason, is that bigger states get more attention. This is important because he can reach out to more people rather than a smaller state.
In conclusion, I think having people do the elections themselves is the better option. I hope you can come to agree with me. | 1 |
The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration consists of,44 nations that came together to help countries recover their food supplies,animals and more.
They hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses,young cows,and mules that were shipped overseas.
Luke Bomberger and his friend Don Reist signed up.
Luke exclaimed that besides helping people,he got to see other countries,such as Greece,and Europe.
He also toured an excavated castle in Crete.
Luke had to take care of the animals daily,they had to be fed and watered two or three times a day.
Food and bales of hay had to be brought up from the lower holds of the ship,and stalls had to be cleaned.
Luke said that helping out on his aunt Katie's farm as a boy prepared him for hard work, but not for the dangers of the sea,on his second trip luke served as a watchman.
His job was to check on all of the animals every hour.
One time he said he slipped and fell on his backside and his heart raced as he shot feet first toward an opening side of the ship,thankfully a sharp peice of metal stopped his slide,or he would have flew overboard into the dark Atlantic.
He was happy to be alive,but he could not work for a couple of days due to cracked ribs.
Luke also found fun on board,especially on return trips.
When the animals had been unloaded,the cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments,fencing,boxing,reading,whittling,and games also helped pass the time.
In conclusion, he feels that being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure. Luke quotes,"I'm grateful for the oppurtunity,"he says. "It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs." Lukes example of being a "Seagoing Cowboy" shows how you today how,by being on a boat,can make a difference. | 0 |
In 1976, Viking 1 took a picture of what looked to be a a human face on Mars. A few days later the picture was reviealed to the public eye, and it was starred in hollywood film movies, books, magazines, and talks shows. But in 2001, new high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASA's Global Survey spacecraft revealed that it was only a mesa. Though there are many credible reasons to believe that it was only a mesa, some people still believe that is an alien artifact.
Yes, one might think that the mesa looks like a face from an egyptian Pharoh, but after closer examination, it was only a natural landform. We are able to prove this because on April 5,1998, when Mars Global Sureyor flew over for the first time, a picture was taken that was ten times sharper than the original Viking photos that showed only a natural landform. When the picture was unveiled to the public eye, it had a caption that told people it was a mesa that resembled a human face only because shadows that were on the rock gave an opticl illusion of eye,nose, and mouth. Also on April 8, 2001, Mars Global Surveyor drew close enogh for a second look and used the cameras absolute maximum resolution to take an even better picture that again showed that it was only a mesa. From these pictures alone you can tell that there wasn't a face on Mars and that there isn't any extraterrestial beings living on Mars.
in conclusion, the "face" on Mars is nothing more than a natural landform that you can probably see on Earth. Also if there were to actually be life on Mars, it would be a major break through that would help better fund NASA, so what would be the piont in trying to hide it from the public that funds our research? There would be no piont in doing so which means that there isn't any life on Mars and the face is only a mesa or butte. | 2 |
Driverless vehicles on the road.
To be completely honest, I personally dont believe that driverless vehicles should be okay to drive on the road. I only say that beacause what if something goes wrong with the car itself, and say u were sleeping because u were on a road trip. You have no idea that something is going wrong, and then boom!! Out of nowhere your dead because you crashed.
Yeah I dont think its a good idea. Only because you just never know if something will go wrong and then you crash or something. I mean yeah some people will think thats the coolest idea ever. Oh yeah yay I dont have to drive, I dont have to pay attention to the road because my car will do it for me.
So there is my reason i dont think driverless vehicles should be on the road. I just dont think its a very wise idea. But thats me, like I said, some people will think it the coolest thing ever. But not this guy.
So there ya go thats why i dont think driverless vehicles are a god idea Hope you enjoyed reading this. | 1 |
Have you ever heard of "the Face"?
The Face is something that is a landform on Mars that looks just like a face.
Some people think that the face was created by Aliens.
This isn't true.
There is much evidence that this is false.
It is a natural landform.
So question is what would you say if you were a scientist at NASA that knows that "the Face" is a natural landform and you were talking to someone that thinks that "the Face" was created by Aliens.
3 reasons that I would mention are that the face is made of rock, pictures show that it is a landform, and that it looks like landforms like a mesa or a butte.
"The" Face is made of rock.
The article "Unmaskng the Face on Mars" states that...
"A few days later NASA unvelied the image for all to see.
The caption noted a 'huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth.'"
Aliens didn't create rock.
And as the essay clearly shows "the Face is obviously made of rock.
So that is part of the proof that "the Face" is a landform.
You can also tell that the Face is a landform through pictures.
Another reason that "the Face" is a landform is that the pictures show that it is a landform.
The article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" shows pictures that show that "the Face" is clearly a landform.
In the pictures you can tell that this is a landform.
"The Face" also looks like a mesa or a butte.
They are so many reasons that "The Face is a landform.
Another one of the reasons is that "the Face" looks exactly like a mesa or a butte.
The article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" states that...
"What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West.
'It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,' says Garvin.
'That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.'"
This also definitely proves that "the Face" is a landform not something that Aliens created and left there for some reason.
God created everything the way it is and for a purpose.
He put that rock landform thing there for a reason to show us how powerful God is and that he can do anything.
God created the world just how it is and that is how he wants it with His "intelligent design"
We talked about how since "the Face" is made of rock, pictures show that it is a landform, and how it looks like landforms that it is a lanform.
This is what I would tell someone who thought that Aliens created "the Face".
Aliens didn't create "the Face".
God did for a purpose using His "intelligent design".
He did this to show us that He is very powerful and that He can do anything.
I hope that this will help strengthen a lot of people's Faith in God.
By writing this essay I hope to do more than just answer the prompt and get a good score.
I hope to also inform people about God and what He can do. | 2 |
Since 2009, google has been developing driverless cars. Cofounder of google, Sergey Brin, believes that with these cars it would "fundamentally change the world". More than a million people have droven the cars without any accidents but that driverless car isnt fully driverless it still requires the driver to take over at some points. I agree that driverless cars are the best new cars of the future that should be accepted.
Google should work to make this car available to the public around the world because this new generation depends on technology. This new technology also makes people feel safer while driving on the road. In the passage it says", Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors....The combination of all this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel(5)." The cars are programmed to go by human actions which may guarantee fewer accidents and crahes. Regardless,humans should still pay attention because the driveless car cant do everything. "....navigating through work zones and around accidents. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires"(7).DRiverless cars are still very dependable it makes driving alot easier.
Googles new creation of driverless cars is a gold mind. It's a great way to get consumers attention and more money for the company. Although the car cant do certain things, it can do most things that cars todya cant do." Sebastian Thrun, founder of the Google Car project, believes that technology has finally begun to catch up to the dream(6)." The new driveless car may change the future of cars. | 2 |
The Beginning Of A Car-Free World
Cars are an integral part of society today, from the hustling bustling cities to far out in the countryside, these machines can be found everywhere, but lately there has been a new trend spreading across the modern world: The limitations on cars.
The use of cars is steadily decreasing throughout the Americas and Western Europe. Germany home to the most advanced car-free suburban community VAUBAN. VAUBAN is the pinnacle of modern car-free suburban living, the new area lies just outside of Freiburg, providing a near complete self sufficient way of living, without relying on the use of cars. As the case with most suburban residences, getting to and from the urban cities is nessessary due to the need to restock food and get to work. In the case of this city it has significantly reduced the emitions from vehicles via public transport and the erection of several shops, just walking distance from the community.
Due to the smog caused by the rise of pollution by the emitions of vehicles, Paris made an attempt to ban cars from its streets, alternating between even numbered and odd numbered liscense plates. The ban sparked outrage among the citizens over the strictness of the ban, but the effects were worthwhile as the smog had cleared up enough for the ban to be lifted.
The limitations on carsare not just restricted to Europe, the Americas have also taken an intrest in reducing the pollution caused by cars. In 2002 BOGOTA, Colombia, for the third year in a row had a day completely devoid of cars. The participants, all of Bogota's 7 million citzens, used seperate means of transportation to cut the emitions released by cars, only permitting the use of buses and taxis as vehicular transportation.
In the U.S. the use of cars is on the decline, with the number of miles driven per person dropping 9% as of April 2013 to record lows scince January 1995. This decrease is caused in part by the recovering economy and the arrival of new methods of keeping in touch. The executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, Bill Ford, has proposed a plan to create a world where the personal ownership of a vehicle would be in his words "impractical and undesirable."
In this new age of awareness to the effects of pollution and the means to fight against them, these limitations may be the first steps on a long journey to the restoration of our planet. | 2 |
I think in the years to come that maybe, just maybe something like this could work, but it wont be anytime soon. First off this will obviously be overwehlmingly expensive and will be very time cosumming. Right now people should not be thinking about these expensive plans because roadways today are still atleast somewhat reliable. considering this will require many years of work, and ruin the routes for people making it unconvenient for some that have daily routines to get around to sum up their day.
The biggest problem that I see is money and how much something like this could very well cripple our economy, obviously the other problems are serious like getting the amount of people necessary to do something this bold. Dont get me wrong it can solve the shortage of jobs and could get people off the streets and give chances to those less fortunate and could also pay extremely well. At the same time aswell, what happens to the workers after they are done with the roads. They could possibly end up without more jobs after the fact and the prices in the economy in my mind will have shot up.
I also think its a bad idea because of where the money might be coming from. My biggest opinion is that it will possibly be coming out of the tax payers and this will bring a domino effect of poverty because the jobs people work for might not be able to keep up with the amount of money coming out of their employees checks. This could for sure bring a huge downfall in America's economy.
Time in my opinion will also not be on anybody side because it would be reguired for all streets, backroads, interstate highways, and country roads internationally to be remanufactured. Maybe even surrounding countries like Canada and Mexico might have to adapt to the big change in roads. This would also trickle down all the way into south america and maybe be impossible for some places to obtain the funds or resources to make these things happen.
These reasons in my opinion are very clear and understanable to most because of the situations countries go through on a daily baises. Money, time, materials, and man power are required for this huge plan and I dont think it will be provided anytime soon. This is something that really seems impossible, but nobody will never know exactly what the future holds for our roadways. | 2 |
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers by explaining what the planet has to offer. The author explain why humans are so interested and drawn toward the planet. He informs the readers how Venus has its up's and down's but is still worth discovering. "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system." Knowing this information is what is drawing people to make the decision of discovering Venus and its secrets.
Through out the story the author is telling the readers how Venus is a place worthy to explore no matter how dangerous because of what its was and could be. Venus can be discovered and be a place where humans could survive. The planet also is a place full of secrets that no one can seem to get to. Having something so close and not being able to understand it draws more interest into learning more about Venus
despie the dangers. "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." This evidence from the passage tells how Venus once was and how people would be encouraged to take their time to explore what could be and what was on this planet that is so close but the information about it is so close.
In conclusion, the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers very well. He include why people haven't been able to get much information from the planet to why people keep striving to learn more about the planet. He explained how to study the planet both safe and scientifically productive. "Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for the planetary visit, a crucial considerstion given the long time frames of space travel. The value of returning to Venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive?" The author made sure to put his knowing of the planets capablities of what the planet can offer humans in the long run.The planet Venus is a dangerous study but as the author stated "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." Meaning don't let the obstacle of fear and danger get in the way of great exploration. | 2 |
Have you ever thought about how the world would be if our cars drive for us? Inventers are trying to make that happen but driverless cars come with a lot of prons and cons. It can be a good thing but also a very bad thing in some situations.
Driverless cars can help us a lot. Such as if an person doesnt have legs but still want to get around and, doesnt always want to wait on someone to come get them. Driverless help so they can start to move around on there own more often. Another reason it can help is it takes half the fuel it does than the cars we have now. Also its more flexibility than a bus, you dont have worry about missing the bus or loosing you bus pass. You just have to get in your own car and go and come as you please. The driverless car can go more than half a million miles with no crash. And the car alerts you when its needed, during heavy traffic or pulling our drive ways and, going in reverse and navigating through roadwork or accidents.
Driveless cars also has its cons and could hurt humas. When the driveless car alerts the person to take over what if they cant? What if the person doesnt has legs to take over the car, what are the supposed to do ? Laws are written with the assumption that onlysafe car has a human driver in control at all times. Technology messes up all the time. And that can occur during a person driving and can cause them to be injured or death. If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- driver or the manufactuer? Sometimes its hard to debat that question which is another reason why its hard to pass the law for driverless cars. Driverless cars are going to make people think thats its okay to text while the car is driving , which takes there attention off the car. And It could be their time to take over they wouldn't know because they are texting. Also with the driverless car gives people to much freedom in the car such as, to move around more or look back and do make-up , everything but pay attention.
My position is that we should keep cars how they are now. I feel that if we made it this far with driving for ourselves our riding the bus why cant we just contuine? Driverless cars are dangerous and just a waste. If a person doesnt want to drive than they have the opition of riding the bus or riding in a taxi. I feel that driverless cars is going to make the work even more lazy than we already are being told.
Have you took deep thought until how the world would be with driverless cars? Driverless cars could be a big help in a lot of ways. Driverless cars can be a hurt in a lot of ways. | 3 |
