"A cowboy who rode the waves" is a story where there is so much going on with so many people.
The main character in the story is "Luke Bomberger" he works two part-time jobs one at the Grocery Store and the other at the Bank. He has a friend named Don
Reist whom asked Luke to go to Europe with him. They would be riding on a cattle boat with 335 horses only. The reason they had to ride on a cattle boat was because World War 2 just ended and most people animals and buildings got destroyed. They were shipping animals over to Europe so that they could have their animals back. He just turned 18 before they left so he was old enough to help out. Since they had all of the horses he helped out with taking care of them they each had to be fed and watered two or three times a day. He was really good at taking care of all the horses because he used to help out on his aunt's farm with all of the animals. He had trouble sometimes when the storms would be super bad and it would make the boat rock with the bad waves. One time he was going to report back to the captin with the news on how the animals were doing because he was on nightwatch and he slipped and fell off of his ladder. When the boat started tilting he went slididng down the deck of the boat and amost went off board. He didn't go off board luckily because a metal bar stopped him from going two far but he did suffer from broken ribs and have to take some time off. On the trips back to go get more animals the people he was with would play games with him and they also got to see amazing sights on their way there and back sometimes even on the way there is they weren't too busy.
Most of the time this is what happens but his story is really interesting. Most people think it is a horrible idea to do this but I think it's a great one because you get to help people. It is nice to do something like that because most people are less fortunet and things that happened in Europe can happen to them and maybe even you when you don't ever expect it. | 1 |
Why Facial Action Coding System is a valuable resource for students?
Scientists now have new advanced technology that can identify the emotions of paintings that date back to hundreds of years ago. Scientists can create 3D models of the facial construction of the paintings features using computer models that scan the facial features of the person in the painting.
Scientists state that there are six basic emotions that are associated with the paiting person. For example Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Surprise, Anger and Disgust. The new technology software of the 3D models of the person are loaded into a computer and emotion-recognition starts its role as taking the expressions of the paitings and putting them into movements that will show what and how the person is feeling in that era of time.
Scientists now are trying to put facial recognition computers into classrooms so that the teachers can get a better understanding about how their students are understanding information and how they are feeling.
Human behavior analysists have been studying the emotional behavior of humans for generations now and have come to a conclusion. This conclusion is that you can sometimes understand how your friend is feeling but is that their true emotion showing or is that a facade that is disguised. This conclusion is to show how valuable a facial recognition computer is and how it can be useful to a classroom enviroment.
By studing the facial features of humans scientists have been able to create steps that show the exact emotion of a painting of a person. This is also valuable information because we can have a theory about what times were like in paintings that date back to thousands of years ago.
Think about this if we took the acient egyptian hieroglyphs and took their paitings about what it was like to live in that era and translated it using the facial technology we have today we can figure out how the egyptians felt back in their time and possibly how the acted and reacted to the situations around them. This information plays a key role in history today that can help us conclude the situations of the past lifes of famous paintings. This is also a new step in history that can reveal so much about eras that we know nothing about and this can lead us to discovery of so much more.
Emotions are what make us human. Without emotions what would we be? Think of this if we lived in a society where emotions or feeling anything was banned and that we couldnt feel anything. That honestly would be the downfall in society because there wouldnt be anything to do and we would be bland. It also would mark the end of history because nothing would happen.
I believe it is a cool study to figure out the emotions of paintings and the people in them. I personally am a complete fanatic about egyptian time and the greek gods and godesses time and being bale to figure out the facial features and the emotions and feelings of the paitings of those people is completely awaesome. Its like time travel to me. Being able to study the history of those paintings of people and figuring out what they felt during that time period is like being there with the person and going through the same feelings with them.
I believe it is a great idea to put these types of facial recognition computers into classrooms because it will benefit for the teachers. The benefits of these computers is that teachers can have a better understanding of how they are teaching and how that information is being comprehended by the students. This is also a valuable source for teachers too because they can figure out how their students are feeling and if something is wrong with the students by understanding their facial recognitions.
In conclusion it would be a benefitial source for classrooms to have facial recognition computers for teachers and students. | 3 |
The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" writes about about the many problems us humans have with exploring venus. But he also throws in there reasons why we should support the studying of Venus, and I agree with them on it and here's why.
First we need to out what claims the author made that support the idea of exploring and studying Venus. Firstly, the author points out that long ago Venus was most likely like Earth in the fact that it probably had water and lifeforms on it's surface. And they also point out that Venus is the closet option for a planetary visit. Here's my problem with the authors claims, and that is that they have no hard proof or that they don't go into detail. For example, the author theorizes that there were lifeforms and water on venus, but we have no proof for either of those statements. The author also claims that the value of returning to venus is indisputable even though the problems with returning outnumber the benefits.
I believe that we should look into returning to Venus, however I don't believe that it's a high priority mission or goal that we need to accomplish, because of the problems we are currently facing on our own planet. | 1 |
i disgress using value of technology to read students emotional expresstion ,in the modern the technology its very prosperity,the social devemplmant well, we can invent something using we life to be the convenience, its also confine the someing. like the article.
and i think the facial actial action coding system maybe good maybe bad.
from the "makig mona lisa smile" we can read to 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry, that it is we want,i think it is very precise,maybe we can find than more expressions but l think taht not we want ,the famous drawed it syomby the history, i think the author drawing this he never this can have so many emotion, further say the emotional expression to value for person the emotional it is not very good , we dont prohibition this technology just for the student its is not very.
i read to the paragraph 6, i read to the dr. huang say a" classroom computer could recogize when a student is becoming confused or bored"that good we can using the technology to the good way ,is not demolition the classic,we can using to home pc to convenience,like we can down some simple insttructions that"encode"different emotions,fact its a good idea,they difference between a genuine smile and a forced one,lift the corners of your mouth.
for the 9 say "we unconsciously imitate another person facil expressions. i greass it.
so i this system have benfitie and bay way just lets we hao to use it | 0 |
Did you know Venus is often referred to as Earth's "twin"? Venus is the closest planet to Earth in size and it is also one of the closest planets to us in distance. However, we haven't been able to explore Venus because of its hostile environment. Venus is a challenging planet for humans to study even though it close prximity to us. Exploring Venus is a worthy pursuit because it is our nearest option for a planetary visit, it would further our knowledge of the planet, and it would help us prepare for the furure.
First, exploring Venus is a worthy pursuit is it is our nearest option for a planetary visit. It is the closest planet to Earth in density and in size. In the text it states, "It may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This shows that Venus may have been a hospitable planet a long time ago. If scientist could explore Venus they could find evidence that Venus was once like Earth.
Second, we should explore Venus is it would further our knowledge of the planet. Venus is one of the closest planets to us yet we do not know much about it. The article states, "Scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks." This means even though there are risks to exploring Venus it would be a worthy pursuit because we would learn more to understand Venus. Despite the dangers of going to Venus it would help scientist learn more about why Venus is so inhospitable.
Finally, studying Venus would be a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because it would help us prepare for the furure. Gaining insight on Venus would be a challenage due to it harsh environment, but the challenge could push our limits. It cause us to create a new way of getting through the harshest of environments. The author states, "The insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." This shows us that creating a way to explore Venus now will likely help us to explore something with just as much challenge in the furture. Exporing Venus has dangers but it could help prepare for the furture.
In conclusion, exploring Venus is a worthy pursuit because it is our nearest option for a planetary visit, it would further our knowledge of the planet, and it would help us prepare for the furure. Venus is one of the closest planets to us we should explore it and learn more about it. It could have been very similar to Earth a long time ago but why is it so inhospitable now. Exploring it could help us in the furture for other challenges. | 3 |
Dear state senator,
Many people do not think that the Electoral College is not fair, or exact. In fact, people wanted to boycott it in 2000. I suggest that we change it to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. It is fair to the candidates and to the people of our country, and we should be able to choose our president, not the electors. Also, if we keep the Electoral College, voting will be unfair and it only makes people want to stop voting. I will explain to you the details of these reasons why we should change it in the rest of my letter.
To begin with, we should change to popular voting because it is fair to everyone. The people want a fair election. Presidents can be chosen wisely by the people, and candidates will be chosen fairly. People want a safe election, so that they can feel safe and protected with the president that we all chose together. It is only unfair to not let us have the advantage of expressing our own opinions. That is a reason why we should change the Electoral College to election by popular voting for the president .
The second reason why we should change to popular voting is because we, as in the people of the United States, should have the advantage of voting for our own president, not the electors. The people know what they want and need to vote for the candidate based on their own opinions. Electors have different opinions, which is not fair at all since we are not really voting. They are only changing our votes and not agreeing with the votes of the people. That is the second reason why the government should change the Electoral College to election by popular voting for the president.
A disadvantage of keeping the Electoral College is that it is unfair and it makes less people want to vote for a president. In 2012, only half of the whole United States voted for a president. They did not think voting was really necessary anymore, since we are not really voting. It also makes the people feel worthless since their votes do not really count anymore. We basically do not have a say in our own country, and that is not fair to us or the government. That is why keeping the Electoral College is a bad idea, and we should change it.
This is why you should reconsider changing to popular vote, for the good of our country. It is honestly a much better process for our country , the citizens, and especially for the candidates that want to make a great difference in the place we live in. Popular voting is fair to candidates and people, we should choose our president, not electors, and the Electoral College is unfair and makes less people want to vote. Thank you for reading and listening to my letter. Have a great day. | 3 |
The Seagoing Cowboys help many people after Worl War 2. Contries were left in ruins and need supplies such as food and clothing. Luke Bomberger joined after his high shool graduation. He crossed the Alantic Ocean 16 times and the Pacific twice. Becoming a Seagoing Cowboy was the best thing that ever happened to him. That could be the same for you!
Yes,you'd be helping people and their ruined countries,but you'd be on an adventure! Luke went to Europe,Greece,China,and other exotic places. He toured castles and took fun rides on rivers or canals. He got to interact with animals to and from the places he went to. He also ofcourse got to interact with the people of these far away lands.
Now it's not just a bunch of fun and games. You have to do a lot of work. You would have many farm animals to take care of. Horses,cows,pigs,and goats. They need to be groomed,fed,watered,and watched over. Sometimes you'd have to stay up all night to watch over the animals.
I'm not saying you won't have any time to yourself on the boat. when you go to pick up the animals you can read,play baseball,or tennis in a lower deck or you could take long cat naps.
My point is you would be doing a good deedfor many people. You'd be serveing your country. You'd also have a gran adventure and have fun! | 2 |
The story talks about how computer can recognize emotions by on our face. Dr. Huang made a computer that recognize Mona Lisa's face that she is mostly happy. People can recognize emotions but not guarateed while computer is guarateed. In next paragraph I will put few edivence to support the claim.
"The process begins when then computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." "For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc. Yet, Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code." ""A classroom compter could recognize when student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts."
Therefore, compter can recognize people when they are happy or sad. Even people can hide their emotions from people but not computer. I think it will help us to make others feel better when they are sad and they won't admit that they are sad. | 1 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers presented to humans. Throughout the article, the author uses multiple scientific facts to support their idea. While the facts may be persuasive and hard to dispute, the author seems to lack good enough reasoning as to why humans should visit Venus.
The main strategy the author uses to support their claim is scientific facts and evidence to prove how dangerous Venus is. This is a strong way to persuade people because facts are proven to be true and they are undisputable. Paragraph three is full of statements that inform the reader how dangerous Venus is. The author states that "temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." These pieces of information give the reader a sense of what Venus is like in terms of numbers and statistics. In case those were not enough, the author gives a shocking fact to prove their point about how inhospitable Venus truly is: "...such and environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals." This statement puts the dangers of Venus into perspective for the reader. It allows the reader to comprehend just how dangerous Venus is by explaining what would happen if something from Earth were to endure the environment on Venus. After reading the many statisctics and shocking facts, the reader can easily understand just how risky traveling to Venus would be.
Even though facts are a good way to support the claim, the author fails to provide the reader with strong reasons about why going to Venus would benefit humans. In paragraph four the author states that "astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." While this may be true, the average reader would not become convinced that that's a good enough reason to endure the journey to Venus, possibly wasting money, time, and lives. To some scientists or others interested in space, curiosity and the mysteriousness of Venus are good enough reasons to risk it all, but to the average person there needs to be more logical reasoning. The reasoning is still not quite strong enough in paragraph eight when the author writes, "striving to meet the challenge by Venus has value...because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." Again, this statement is true, but it is not nearly convincing enough. Because the author described to the reader how dangerous Venus really is, they need to give very strong reasons why it would be a good idea to venture there. With that being said, the author's reasoning to journey to Venus is very broad and not nearly concinving enough to the average reader.
Overall, the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" does not adequately support their idea that studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. They provide the reader with amazing pieces of information about Venus and how dangerous it is, but fail to give enough reasoning as to why the journey would be worth these drastic risks. After reading the article, it is most likely that readers feel well informed about Venus and its mysteries, but unconvinced that the pursuit is worth the dangers. | 4 |
The Seagoing Cowboys are boys are poeple who help others out. When countries fall they're there to pick them right back up. There are three reasons why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys. The reasons are one its a good way to help out others, two its a good opportunity to see the world, and three you are litterally saving people lifes and dont even know it yet.
Reason one is becasue the job is just a really nice way to help out those around you. You can help the enviroment by replacing animals and even buildings. You help out the poeple that werent as lucky as you. Some people could be suffering out there in the cold, but you helped them rebuild their houses,and rebuild their lifes. Poeple will be greatful for your kindness.
Another thing i noticed was that It gives you a good oddortunity to see the world. Luke
Got to see a bunch of beatiful things on his way to other countries. He Got to see things from New Orleans. To China. He got to see things you wouldnt normaly see just going through your normal life. You have the chance to see stunning things if you were a Seagoing Cowboy.
Last but not least. The Last thing i noticed was that you are litterally saving poeple's life. Poeple could be out their starving and you could be the one to fix it. Some poeple would rather just care for their own family, but you have to power to give poeple food. They will have homes to sleep in becasue of you. Poeple will be snuggled in beds at night becasue you choose or not if you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy.
Some poeple may think that it would take away their time, but what are you really losing. All your doing is helping poeple out? Is that not enough? u | 2 |
There is talk on how there will one day be driverless cars. Companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Nissan have taken interest in these type of cars. Tesla has also created a 2016 release car that autopilot can be used for ninety percent of the time. There are many supporters of driverless cars, but there are also people who completely disagree with the idea. At least three states have made it illegal to test out computerdriven cars. I do not agree with the idea of driverless cars because there are more cons than pros.
There actually are positive outcomes when talki8ng about driverless cars. The car would just take over and you would not have to do much work at all. Driverless cars have been claimed that the touch sensors that control steering, acceleration, and brakes would have more control over the car then a human. A project manager driver from BMW has stated that they are trying to make driving and car rides more enjoyable. He plans on creating in-car entertainment and placing in systems that would keep the driver and passengers more aware of their surroundings.
Although there are a few positives outcomes with driverless cars, there are more cons than pros. The cars are said to be driverless, but they still require the "driver" to be fully aware of what the car is doing. When the car would approach work zones, traffic jams, or working around accidents. This requires more functions that the car needs to have to be able to get the attention of the driver. Also, to have the car excel to become completely driverless is too expensive. The companies looking into driverless cars have come to realize that they can create a car that runs on a special test track that has sensors to communicate between the road and the car. They then realized that it was impractical to think that all of their problems would be solved by sensors.
Another con would be that the car would be running off of technology, which is not always one hundred percent reliable. At any given moment the car could have a malfunction and could create a dangerous situation. The car could cause a crash, which would lead to another con. If something happens to a driver and any passengers while in the car, who will be blamed? There could start to be some disputes with the auto companies about why their cars are malfunctioning or why their vehicles are losing control. This then makes the situation dangerous and it will cause more harm then it is helping.
With all of the pros and cons in mind, I remain against driverless cars. I feel as if there are more cons then pros, so it is doing more harm then it is helping. The idea is fun and some people will still support it for different reasons, such as being lazy or wanting to try something new. In my opinion, the car is far too risky and could possibly put people in a tremendous amount of danger. Safety is the main priority and I do not feel as if this meets the requirements of safe. | 3 |
He's convincing people to be a seagoing by saying you can go to nice places. He said that one time he went to a place with streets of water. He also said it is an opportunity of a lifetime to be a seagoing. He is saying you should join the seagoings, becouse it is very nice to go to places all the way from the other side of the U.S.
He's also saying if you like taking care of animals then you should join. He talks about how his ant and him worked on a farm so that helped him out of taking care of animals, but then he says that it did not help him with the dangers of the sea. He also talks about how he gets he's ribs broken. He also says that you work for them you sometimes have to check on the animals hourly.
He tells you that his friend tolled him that he should work there, so he could not say no, because he knew it would be a life time opportunity. He tells you he would find his self having fun on borad, especially on the return trips after they droped off the anamals. He says he play baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where the animals had been housed. They also played table-tennis touraments, fencing, boxing, reading. whittling, and games also helped pass the time.
He said being a seagoing was more then just an adventure. He said it open the world up for him. He said he was happy to help people by giving them animals and food. He said that he was prepared for the hard work. He also talks about how he all most falls in to the dark Atlantic. He says on he 2ed trip he was a night wachman wich means yous have to cheak on the animals every hour.
He tells you how long it toke to get to a few places. It toke about 2 weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States, and it toke about a mouth to get to China. Caring for the animals kept Luke busy over travling. That's how Luke is trying to convincing you to be a seagoing. | 1 |
Prof. Thomas Huang, Prof. Nicu Sabe, and Dr. Paul Eckman have come up with a techonlogy that can know exaclty what and how many emotions a person has right now.
This technology is called the Facial Action Coding System, or FACS. Students would benefit from this technology because the FACS would know if they were bored or confused, modify the lesson like a real teacher, and help the student understand the lesson better and earn a good grade as a result.
The FACS would know if the student was bored or confused because it constructs a detailed 3D image of the face with all 44 major muscles.
It then compares the image to the image of a neutral face with no emotion and looks at certain muscles.
The computer looks at the "zygomatic major," for example, to see if you are smiling genuinally becasue the corners of your mouth would be pulled back.
It would also look for your "frontalis pars lateralis" to tell if you are suprised by something because your eyebrows would be raised.
The FACS would also be able to measure exactly how many emotions you have because the technology "weighs different units."
If a student was bored or confused the FACS would be able to modify the lesson; therefore, helping the student understand the lesson more.
The computer now would not know if the student was having trouble becasue it can not see what the student's face look like.
But with the help of the FACS, the computer knows what the student is feeliing and can change what the lesson is about to help the student.
Just like a real teacher, the FACS would know what the student was thinking and be able to change how the lesson was worded to hopefully help the student understand what it was saying.
The Faical Action Coding System would be able to modify the lesson just like an experienced and effective teacher would.
With the Facial Action Coding System modifying the lesson, the student would earn a better grade as a result than if the lesson was not modified.
The student would most likely do better on both the homework and the test because the lesson was reworded in a much more impactful way than it was originally.
If the student does better on the homework and test, then the overall grade would increase, as well as the percentage of passing grades for the class.
The FACS would modify the lesson; thereby increasing the amount of passing students and helping the school earn a better grade from the Department of Education.
The FACS would be able to see if a student was confused or bored, and if he or she is bored or confused, modify the lesson accordingly; therefore, increasing the overall grade the student received.
The Facial Action Coding System would be able to help the student if he or she was confused by rewording the lesson iin the way the student would understand better.
The FACS would be a great addition to a classroom because it would help the students understand what the lesson was saying. | 3 |
Earth as we know it has been striving for many years but our population is growing rapidly due to everyone havng children and deaths. We can only do so much one day this planet we call earth will be like the rest of the planets. Not being able to live on because of bad conditions. Nasa has been doing other approaches to studying venus. they tried to send a couple space crafts to venus but the rough and cloudy planet made the spacecrafts fail due to the enviroment. Nasa has been doing test to figure out something that can stand the venus enviroment. They haven't sent a spacecraft to venus in three decades. ''The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familir features such as valleys, mountains and craters.'' Venus is the nearest option for us. Venus was probably covered largely with oceans so it probaly could support human life but we still have to take the risks. how would we live on a planet that doesnt even have what we need to survive. A thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide blankets Venus. would we be wearing suits around all day the averge temperture on venus is roughly 800 degress fahrenheit, we dont get past 105 degress fahrenheit. Yes the planet sounds to good to be true but if that is what we have that is atleast like earth we should give it a try. considering the fact of life on another planet is fascinating. We can make the trip to venus but you cant even see it you will by flying over dense clouds and if you go under the clouds it's very hot. In conclusion Venus is like earths sister and if we can find a way to make it liveable to humans we should try it. | 1 |
Who wouldnt want to have a car? Thats a reason we get from desination A to destination B. Vauban, Germany they are gicing up their cars, like why would you give a object that gets you places faster than walking. Thats not smart. People that had cars have to give their car away in order to live in Germany. Vauban's streets are completely " car-free". 70 percent of Vauban's families do not have cars. Which mean the kids would have to walk everywhere they go, also the parents when you have jobs..what if you dont get to work on time?
Paris enforced a partical driving ban to clear the airr of the global ci ty. If they didnt leave their cars at home they would have been fined for $31.
Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-years of intensifying smog. China is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world . But paris typically has more smog than other European capitals.. Last week paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter .
President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gasemissions, unveiled last week will get a fortuitous assist from an incipient shift in American behavior.
With all these changes, people who stopped car commuting asa result of the recession may find less reasons to resume the habit | 0 |
In the real world of today, many people crave for the technologies of the future and one of those technologies are driverless cars. Humans have always looked to the future where cars would one day be able save us in more accidents. We also want cars to use less fuel and could be able to drive us anywhere. However, we never truly look on at what it takes to build a driverless car, until we do. However, not only do driverless cars take time to make, once driverless cars are complete, there is more responsiblity that comes with the product. Driverless cars a great thing for our future because the cars can save us in moments where humans can fail, each of them will use less fuel, and drive us anywhere.
Even today, there are driverless cars andregular cars present the ability so prevent accidents to some extent. In each of today's cars, there are sensors and other gadgets that send information to the car's computer. Processing this information, cars can apply brakes to certain tires and cut the engine in faster time than humans could, if the time ever came up for it. One such car, Google's modified Toyota Prius runs such sensors, video cameras, and gps recievers to run driverless car software.
Another reason, driverless cars will help the gas prices lower all around the world. Gas prices constantly rise as more demand for it arises and the supply of it lowers. The driverless cars of the future will need as less as half the amount of fuel or lower. With cars needing less fuel, the prices will lower due to it being affordable to give to everyone. And with more fuel, cars can travel farther and to more places.
With this in mind, the driverless cars of the future will drive humans to any place needed. Some may think it impossible, but Google cofounder Sergey Brin belives otherwise. He believes the cars in the future could be used as a public transportation system, with fleets of driverless cars as public-transport taxis. He believes it can be great.
However, for a driveless car to be the greatest it can be, it first has to be driverless. The driverless cars that are currently existing today cannot claim the title of driverless. Each car will drive to the destination as required but will alert the human to stay awake and alert such that one can take over the car when nearing accidents or work zones. So that raises the question, how can we make this car truly driverless?
The technology and cars of today are not driverless yet but in time they could be. These future cars will drive humans to any destination without human assistance. Each car will run on less fuel, effectively lowering gas prices. And with its software, the car and the human will witness less accidents. Due to special software, the cars will prevent accidents,burn less fuel, and drive to any destination. | 3 |
Facial Action Coding Systems can be a really good addition to the classroom. This technology can help teachers and staff see what a student is going through and if they need help. This could also help students show a teacher or staff memeber if they need help but don't know how to ask.
Facial Action Coding Systems is a program that lets a computer read human emotion and can show statistics of how you are feeling this is support by the quote, "She's eighty-three percent happy, nine percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and two percent angry. No, that's not your science teacher,grading your latest lab assignment. Its the subject of Leonardo da Vinci's Renaissance painting, Mona Lisa at least according to some new computer software that can recognize emotion." The software can help teachers actually help students with mental health instead of writing them a slip and just saying you are fine. Also teachers can tell you how to coop with certain stresses bust by scaning you with a computer program. This can also help teachers find the student that caused trouble if they are not cooperating, because the program can tell if the subject is lying or not. This claim is supported by the following quote. " To an expert, faces dont lie; these muscle clies are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" polictician or celebrity isn't being truthful." The program can also help schools by seeing if a student is under a lot of pressure and needs help right away.
The overall claim is that I believe that Facial Action Coding System program can really improve mental stability with students and solve disputes between them. The system can really help teachers find out what students need help if they are afraid to reach out. The Facial Action Coding System program could be a really good addition to classrooms. | 2 |
My opinion on driverless cars, i think it would be a stupid idea because i love to drive and im sure there are alot of other people who love to drive. Driverless cars could be a big problem, what if a driverless car had a malfunction and could wreck and kill somebody. Im sure the goverment would disagree with this idea because they love to make money, and all the money to make driverless cars would be outrageous, and that could make the goverment go in dept and it could ruin alot of things.
No details support my position because im against it, like i said i love to drive and i wanna be able to go wherever i want in the future and not have to worry about not having my own car because driverless cars just sound stupid. What if these driverless cars have a malfunction and just took off on its own i wanna be able to have my own car and drive on my own, because what if i end p getting a audi gr im sure ill be the one wanting to drive by myself and like i said everyone loves driving so i really dont like the idea.
These people who make the driverless cars such as nissan and audi, how do they know they can even make these cars to where it wont wreck on its own, or get us to where we need to go, the only thing i think would be cool about it is if i am tired and im driving and i need to go to sleep and the car could drive on its own, but what if a deer jumped in front of the car and the car is going 60 mph the car isnt just going to stop your going to wreck. If they really wanna make these cars they need to have good protection like a tank or sometin because that would be safe. Im still against it but it would be pretty cool to see what they can really do in the future. | 1 |
Hi my name is Rashaad, Do you ever wonder what seeing venus whould look like? Or is it a worthy pursuit of dangers? Well today im going to tell you but first i am going to give you some backup information about our lovely twin venus. Venus is one of the brightest ponits of light in the night sky. Venus also has an nickname becuase of its brightness which is called the evening star. Venus is often refferd to as the earths twin becuase of its terms of density and size and sometimes the closest. But venus tempatures average over 800 degrees farherint and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than on earth. That is some background information so you can get an idea of what venus is.
But the real problem is that venus has a worthy pursuite of dangers heres why as in the text it says that,¨Humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on this cloud draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned,and for good reason,since no spacecraft surivived the landing for more than a few hours.¨ This shows that venus is very dangerrous not even a space craft chould land on it. Now lets find out why. The reason why venus is so dangerous becuase A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent of carbon dixoide blankets venus. Also on the planet´s surface averages about 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure is like 90 times grater than on earth. This is problay why not a single spaceship has touched down on venus in more than three decades.
The author uses great detail to back up why studying venus is a worthy pursuit of dangers. becuase in the text he shows use the dangers that are already on venus and how it is super hot and that the weather is very diffrent from earth i can support this becuase in the text it states that,¨Beyond high pressure and heat,Venusian geology and weather present additional impdeiments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earhquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. this shows that he is giving us proper details to show why studying venus chould be worthy of being dangerous .But thats not all The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has one compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. In My opionon that is a sucide mission becuase we don´t even have that good of technolgy for humans to barley even have any oxygen to breath on there.
But the study of all this may not be left behind becuase humans want to explore all of the planets one day so this is good but dangerous trying to study Venus. But im going to give you some more information about the studying of exploring venus. So there solution to try an test this study out is to have a blimp like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the rolling venusian landscape. But they say it whould still be hot it whould at least be 170 degrees Fahrenheit. But a vehicle hovering over venus whould avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by stying up and out of their way as it says in the text. But NASA is working on other approaches to studying venus. But they have tired lots of exermeints as it says in the text like this one we it said that, Some simplified electronics made of sillicone carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus´s surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions.
But the moral of this essay is to show you that the author had some good detail to show that studying venus is dangerous and a good thing if we find some things out. but all of this like the weather one day we are going to find out how we can fix all of that and how we are going to get better technolgy to fix all of this up so we chould land on mars safely one day. Also don´t forget that NASA is still doing some research on the planet so problay later in the future we might have alot of things to problay to help us with alot of things in the future. | 3 |
the colleg now has votes for vice presidant and there are 538 electors but 270 electors are what we are suppos to have 3 were picked by the state they have a presadent election for evry for years if you run for president you get your own group and you get alot of responsibilities and it is held evry tuseday and first monday and the winner takes it all and they have other cannidates to worrie about and the govener prepares for the presidans election and there are about 60% of voters if your the presidant you need to defened your titel back in 1960's in lousiana we almost succeeded but then they hired other electors to go agianst John F Kennedy and then evrybody was faithlessand now their are 500,000 voters and it has increased drasticly and we half to make a congress if your presidant 35,000,000 go to just pick a presidant 41,971 are in deadlock in 1976 there were about 5,559 elections back then there are 25,000 media markets texas hade the most voters in 1987 and all of are presadents have at least 2,000 or more canadates bush hade the least votes sence 1888 61.5% of votes was compared to a voteing persentage of 51.3% and that was in the north and south 2012 they have boosted their companie and their attinstion by ads and some build boards 29 elctoral votes 3 were passed through their were 301 votes now there are 370 votes and this all happened in 1992 and there are more dimacrats in texas than there are in florida there are 20 in florida and 33 in texas and all of the elections are nation wide and voters do half of the work for just voteing and the pepole are going through the votes to see hew there new presidant is for the new year and all the votes came from Electrol colleg and all of the campains are in the small states and in texas they have turned off votes in texas and now there is less attenstion in the compainey and they do politicl votes and the pepole think that the voters should be the ones to decid the election and up state voters pay close attention to see hew wins. | 0 |
Everything is not what it seems!
Everything is not always what it seems!People often make the mistake of misunderstanding what things actually are!They really dont see the big picture!
They only care about the significance of the object, or believes something entirely different!
On May 24,2001,an amusing discovery was made!While NASA's Viking 1 space craft was circling the planet Mars, it spotted shadowy likeness of a humanface!This was spotted from a region of Mars called Cydonia.This has been around since 1976, it was also another picture taken by a Viking 1.
A little while later, NASA chose to reveal the image for everyone to see!They called the image huge rock formation" because they believed that's what it was and how it formed.Soon after, the image began attracting attention. The image became a pop icon it has been included in a Hollywood film,in ,magazines,radio talk shows,and grocery stores!
Some people think and say that this "Face" is bona fide evidence that there is life on Mars.These people are conspiracy theorists.Few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact, that's when Cydonia became a priority for NASA.On April 5,1988, when Mars Global surveyor flew over Cydonia, the team snappe da picture ten times better than the other Viking images.The conclusions were no aliens at all!What the picture actually shows is the Martain equivalent of a butte or mesa,which are landforms common around the America West.
In conclusion, the "face" on Mars are just rock formations with illusions and shadows. If the image was really an alien artifact NASA would have been doing more research on the planet plus, they send all types of robots, or ships, and surveyors! | 2 |
In our technological advancements today, the idea of withholding a laptop that has the ability to read your emotions is mindblowing. Using this type of technology could potentionally put smiles of faces to people all around the world. The use of the Facial Action Coding system would greatly benefit the students' views for technology, the students' view for themselves, and most importantly the way that students' view their peers.
The Facial Action Coding Sytem has the power to change technology as we know it. It would forever change the way we use and percieve technology in our day to day routine. According to Making Mona Lisa Smile by Nick D'Alto, "Imagine a computer that knows when you're happy or sad....'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored'" (D'Alto). This would bring a whole new light into classrooms. You would find students more engaged and intrested in their studies. Just as D'Alto metions, teachers will be able to critique themselves and better their teaching skills.
If we had the acces to this type of technology on our home desktop or laptop, it would help the user and the laptop or desktop to learn more about what the prefer and what they dont prefere. According to Making Mona Lisa Smile by Nick D'Alto,"...if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a smililar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different"(D'Alto). These simple tasks can make technology smarter and bring smiles onto any individuals face.
Lastly, the most important reason why withholding this type of technology would be the benefits of teachers and students knowing the emotions of their students/peers. According to Making Mona Lisa Smile by Nick D'Alto,"'The facial expressions for each emotion are universal,' observes Dr Huang, 'even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression'...'Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication...'" (D'Alto). Since facial expressions are universal, being aware of others emotions will bring people together and could bring about new or stronger relationships between students and or other students or student to teacher.
The use of the Facial Action Coding System would bring many benefits of the use of our day to day technology, and bring students to pay more attention to themselves, their peers, and their teachers.The technological advancement is very out of sight, considering the reaping benefits brings us to have second thoughts. | 3 |
Are you a person who wants to help people you don't even know? If you are, join the Seagoing Cowboys program. They help people who were in the World War 2 that lost their homes, and everything they own. Reasons why you should join are; many cities were left in ruins, and they need help to fix it.
Also, after a long trip, fun and games are availble. And, you joining could save lives. You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
First off, many cities were left in ruins, and they need help to fix it because of the World War 2. Lot of cities were destroyed during the war, and some people, need our help to rebiuld.
Next, Fun and Games are availble. After all of the supplies are taken to the location where they dropped off, the place is nearly empty. The people made ways to have fun by plating Volleyball, Baseball, and other sports. Life with the Seagoing Cowboys would be very exciting.
All in all, Life as an Seagoing Cowboys would be amazing. | 1 |
The author of this artical wants us to expand our research of venus even knowing the danger that comes with trying to go more in dept about this research.Nasa has already tried to study this planet even considering to send people up there to study it first hand but due to terrible terrian can not send rovers or any tpye of equipment.
Nasa knows that neptune is like the earths twin in a way these two planets are extremely close and we think its just that easy to study the planet but its not if we were to send people to venus it would go so good because venus temputure averages to 800 degrees fahrebheit and the human body can not handle that.Also not metion that venus has a thick atmosphereof 97 percent carbon dioxidblankets venus.
We do have supicion that there might some kind of life form living there due to the fact the venus is coverd largely with ocean which can suppot some kind of life form.But there is a reansonable
way we might be able to study the planet whith having to land on it or send rovers Nasa has found a new way by sending a "blimp" hover 30 or so miles above venus a comparason is like a jet flying high altitude.
If this plan does go through it wont be as bad but still pretty hot at a wopping 170 degrees fahrenhiet.But researchers can not take samples of rocks or gas or anything else.Recently Nasa has conducted an expierment they have made a chamber simulation the chaos of venus's surface and have lasteed a week so it might be posible after all .
Venus has a lot of value not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself.The author is a outgoing person wanting to discovery new life study a planet that is very difficult to study based on it radition and temputure.In conclusion the author has a good reason why he wantrs to study venus but its going to take a lot of technoligy and stratagy. | 3 |
While driving, a person must put all of his focus on the road. If his focus is not on the road he will most likely get hurt or hurt others. Driverless cars may help keep the people safe and aware of their surrondings but, they encourage people to not pay atention to the road. The driverless cars could put people in danger, could make people careless, and could cause chaos to the laws of the road.
The driverless cars could put people in danger. The writter states, ¨They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves¨ . They are computors that do everything for us. What if they are all programed by the government? What if they are controlling you and you dont even know it? There are situations that are dangerous. Some that computor in a car could not identify it as well as a human could.
If a person is not paying attention to the car, they would put not only themselves into danger but also the people around them.
The driverless cars could make people careless. Many people trust technology too much. GM is even installing the following,
¨driver´s seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object¨.When people rely on technology they tend to not care what happens becuase it was not thier fault. What if a person always relied on those seats to tell them if they were close to an object and one time the techonology failed them. Driverless cars would encourage people to be more careless. People think ¨The car is all under control¨ so they dont pay any attention. Driverless cars will make people feel too secure and they will be careless with their actions.
Driverless cars could cause chaos with the laws of the roads. If people decide to buy a driverless car, they would have to learn the new laws of the road. The writter states, ¨new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accicent¨. There would be choas because some people may still have the driver in the car. There would be so many people following different rules and they all are trying to go their destination. The BMVs will be busy that is for sure. Driverless cars could cause chaos with the laws of the road.
To conclude, businesses like GM and Google realize that they are making money from this idea. But what they dont realize is that driverless cars could put people in danger, could make people more carless than they already are, and could cause chaos with the laws of the road. | 3 |
The author of " The challenge of Exploring Venus" suggest that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author did not support the idea of that. The author gives information on how Venus is a dangerous place to got to, for humans, but not so much on why it is not dangerous and it being a worthy pursuit. As said in paragraph 1 " While Venus is simple to see from the distance but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely". The author gave information on why pursuiting Venus would be not worthy.
In paragraph 2 the author stated " Each previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for mor than a few hours". That statements is supporting that Venus is not worthy of pursuiting, where the author does not support his claim. The author gave information on the dangers of Venus and not the good things that'll take place by visiting Venus. Also stated in paragraph 3 " These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth..." stated by the author. The author gave more information onto why pursuiting Venus is dangerous, the conditons on Venus is moe dangerous compared to the ones on earth. The author is not supporting his claim in that statement eitheir, he is opposing it.
My claim is the author is not supporting his caim onto why Venus is worthy of pursuiting, the author is saying why its not. " Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itslef, but
also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors". As stated by the author, the author is saying that trying to meet the challenge that Venus is presenting is dangerous. So in conclusion the author of " The Challenge of Exploring Venus" did not support his claim, that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 1 |
I am against driverless cars because the fact that people like to be in control. People who drive them will not know as much or have much experence behind the wheel of a car. If the car had happened to stop working properly then who would be to blame if there was an accident on the road? People driving would want the ones who manufactured the car or created it to take responsiblity for the scene that was caused. It could take many lives and cause much damage to the community if there were something that had went wrong with the driverless cars. A lot of the people's money would have to go into the accidents caused,like hospital bills and damages of the car. I would prefer driving because of the fact that you would have something to do, it's something people can learn about. Once people think that the cars can drive on its own and need little effort in driving they will not pay as much attention to what is happening on the road. Also another concern of mine is cost, most people can not afford something like this so up to date in technology. Would there still be cars that don't need someone to drive them? I just think that it would cost to much for the people and cause problems involving with technology and community. Is this really what we want in the near future? | 1 |
Well, I do know that Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and that its a very challenging place to examine. I thought that Venus was one of the warmest/coldest planets in the galaxy, but it just so happens that its neither.
I know that Neptune is the most freezing planet. It's the type of planet that people don't want to examine or not even explore. Even though,Venus is really simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth for the ones that like to stargaze.
The article mainly talks about on how others would see the planet "Venus," I see the "Evening Star " as a the brighest of the planets of the whole entire galaxy along with the Sun(Itself).
To me, I also thought that the Sun was just another type of planet,but it wasn't. Turns out the Sun was the "Biggest Star of the Galaxy."
Let's not forget that Venus is often referred to as the Earth's "twin."
Because Venus is after all the closest to the Planet Earth. The author would probably describe as the 2nd planet on the right, but I would describe/define it as the planet with the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it very simple for the stargazers. | 0 |
To whom this may concern,
The "winner takes all" system we've been using doesn't work. Less power is essentially being given to the people, and, some are even being ignored.
In cases such as Al Gore's, the people said yes, and the College said no. And, voters didn't like this. According to a Gallup poll in 2000, after Al Gore lost the race, "over 60% of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now", meaning, Mr. Senator, it's time for change. In addition, this system easily allows for a tie. In this event, the results of the race would be decided by the House of Representatives, which we all know would swiftly put in a vote for the Republican canidate. And, since the Senate has also been recently dominated by Republicans, they too would choose one of their own, resulting in two branches of the government dominated by one political party.
Moreover, with this faulty system, many people are being ignored. As you may recall (or not), "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the canidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad."(Source 2, Paragraph 13) [(Although not seeing the ads might not have been a bad thing. (I'm just kidding.)] Why is this important? Because the people need to see and meet their canidates, but due to the electoral collage, people are being ignored. If the majority of the votes are known to be going to one canidate or the other, they will most likely not be visited by either side, because whom that state's electoral votes are going to are essentially locked in. The only states that recieve any attention are the "Swing states" (Source 2, Paragraph 13) that are pretty equal on both sides and can be easily swayed to pick one canidate or the other.
The only evidence to refute my claim would be that "Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of proportional representation" (Source 1, Paragraph 7), which actually might work; however, this would require all the states to change their policies, which we all know won't happen very easily.
So, in summary, Mr. Senator, the way things work is going to need to change, we are being ignored and elections are being thrown. If you don't help us change this, the power of electing the president is going to remain with our, faulty, college.
I hope you consider this,

This essay will be about how i think my fellow citizensyou relly thinkk about how much the relly use there cars. i think if every one walk it would make the world a better place an better your self. i think that if every day was a car-free day everyone would be so shock on how good lif would be with out cars.
if you relly think about how there is a car free day in bogota you would think tht they are vary smart. couse once a year there will be less camicals in the air an also or people will be way more athletice that day. An not only that they are smart enogh to make this car free day up they aslo are makeing monye cuss for the poeple that dont wwant to walk they still let only taxi cars an buses still run. if i was the president i would make this a event once a mouth. an just like the artical says "it's a good opportunity to take stress away and lower air pollution".
In the artical of"the end of car culture it says that "recent studies suggest that americans are buying fewer cars,driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by". I think that is great couse i want to see more people riding there bikes an injoing there selfs an taking family bike rides. An another main reason y ithink it would be a good idea to limite cars is that there will be more monye in your pocket couse you would not have to go to the gas station every othere day. an not only that you wouldent hae to buy a car couse those are relly exspinsive to. If you think about if your car breaks down you would have to do all kindes of things an pay all typesb of money to get it fix. more people would be more welthy if cars was never brout around the earth.
There are sme parts of the states an citys that you probly dont need a car. Say im in new your the city i woud never need a car there are subways taxies other ways to get around an just amgin having a car in the big apple the trafic is relly bad an all traficdose is cpouse acsidents if there was no cars fewer people would die in car acsadints an there would be more peole alive in 2015. If we go back to 2000 an we add up all the people that died in car cidents an how mant acidents there were im sure everyone would drive less an alot safer. Im sure if every one was car less the wourld would be a better place
Im sure if i was the presdint i would start a car free day once a mounth an see how that goes. but if it goes well i would try to work on car free day but for a day for weeks an i think if everyone stop using cars for 1 year the air would be very fresh an everyone would be alot hethyer an im sure in the futer there would be no more cars but in cuccsin i think that the wourld shout limmit the amout of time we use cars. | 2 |
The electrol college system is an unfair system, people don't have the right to select their own president, they dont have the right to select a president. Because, when people vote they are technically voting for the electors for a candited. That candidate can be a democratic or a republican. In source two it states that electors can choose there opposing candidate. Which declines the the whole voting process. Why do we vote? we vote to select a leader who will defend this coutry and make america a place of oppurtunity. The most important reason why the electrol cllege is unfair because of the " winners it take all" rule.
We as american people cannot choose their own goverment, as it says in source two, that when voters vote they are voting for the canditates electors. Each state gets one vote and then the electors can choose who they want for president. In source two it states that the electoral college consists of 538 electors and the most amont of elecrtoral votes is 270, in order to pick an president. Also in source two it states that the number of electors we have equals to the amount of members of congress we have. I propose a new system by only letting the American people select our president by votes counted all up by each state, for example if we didn't have have electoral college, then it would be a fair vote because people votes would count the number that adds up with all votes for one candidates that will oppose another candidates and there would be technically no tie it would either ,more or less, but if we still had the electoral college then the vote would not be equally fair becuse if the majority of a state for examlpe chose republican candidate, then that would be vague becuse some people choose democratic and there vote did not really count. but without the electoral collge, than everyones vote counts and each candidates gets vote from every one, not only electoral.
In source two it says that electorals who have been select by the state can choose their opposing candidtade, which is more disatvantgeing to the american people and america's future. for example if one state candidate was choosen for republican and they were "faithless" as it says in source two, and chose the democratic party it would be very unfortunate for the republicans because than there would be no point of the votes the republican supporters have voted for. It only comes once every four years, this is very important to the american people, on choosing who they want for the future of america.
In source two and three it states the rule " winner take it all" . The votes the other lose the, winning can take it all, that vote that they take from the losing does not count Because the people really didnt mean to vote for the candidate they don't want or the candidate they dont support, its like your money fell on the floor and someone just took it knowing its yours.
In conclusion, the state senators should eliminate the electoral collge because they count the majorty votes, and don't count other votes that is not popular as the other candidates vote. also because they can decide vote on an canditate they want based on their opinions and beliefs. and lastly because of the winner takes it all system which is bascially taking the losing candidates electoral votes. | 3 |
There are many reasons why I think that the face on Mars just a natral land formation. One reason is that where the face is formed there are ofther Martian mesa. That is what made the land look like a face and the shadowing was just right and it makes the eyes, nose and mouth.
My second argument is this. After the MGS had taken the first photo of the face they still needed better pictures. So there was a picture taken on April 5, 1998 that was ten times sharper than the origonal picture. Revealeing that the face is a natural landform. There is no connection of aliens to the face. People still did not want to belive it isn't a real face. This brings me to my final argument about the Mars face.
My last argument is proof. The MGS got close enough to take a second picture. This time the team used the camaras absolute maximum resolution. Which means that you can see pretty much anything that would be around the face. Things like airplains on the ground, shacks, buildings, pyramids, etc. What the picture actully showed was that the face is a landformation. It showed that the face was an equivalent of a butte or mesa. These are a few reasons why I think that the Mars face is just a landformation. | 2 |
In the passage "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author suggests that studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents and I belive he proves that very well of being true. As it stated in paragragh one Venus is the brighest point in the night sky that even a amateur stargazer could spot out, but its not a star it is our sister planet. Venus "may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was proably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." (stated in paragraph four) Also said in paragraph four it says, "Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." So in my opion I belive we should continue to explore Venus because like it says in paragraph five NASA is working on some new ways to make some of those dangers disapear. As of right now NASA is coming up with a way to "allow scientists to float above the fray"
also stated in paragrah five. Yes the temputues will still be toasty but the air pressure wouldn't be as bad. Now with this type of tecgnology the scientists would only be able to provide limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cant penetrate the dense atmosphere, they also wouldnt be able to take rock samples or anything of the sort from a distance. (said in paragrapg six) NASA is now working on some more techology that will help us on all these setbacks. Now if the mission of exploring Venus was is so dangerous why are scientist even discussing further visits to its surface. Now i understand where some people are coming from because in paragraph two its says that "no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours."
Still all together i belive if we develop the right technology we could manage landing a man on this so called dangurous sister planet of ours just
paragraph eight says "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has valuse, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into equally intimidating endeavors. Our traveks on Earht and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." So lets not let the feeling of fear strike us out of seeing what is outside of our comfert zone, but lets take the giant leap and see what else is out there because you never know untill you see for yourself. | 2 |
I feel that this could be very usefull in the class room. It could help teaches see what the students are thinking via their emotions they might not think are showing, but their facial mucles are. You could read a whole crowd of people if you where in a lecture teaching about the complex system of the worlds goverments which I am sure every one loves (not) you could see this and change your approach. It would greatly help teachers all around the world I feel if they could get their hands on this technology.
Now imagine if you are teaching a class and all your students where not paying any attintion to the way you are teaching. You could change that if only you knew this complex system of facial mucles better to tell if what they where feeling about your teaching. Then you could change your teaching style in a way that they prefered to learn so they are not so board. Now there is a computer system that can read emotions by looking at what facial mucles are being used. This would help you reach your students better. "In fact, we humans preform this same impressive "calculation" every day." said Nick D'Alto. He even goes on later to say " Yet Dr. Hyang observes that artist such as da Vinci studied human anatomu to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emtions. His new computer software stores similar anatomicl information as electronic code." This shows how largly it would help us keep in connection with eachother if we knew what they felt about a certian subject becasuse we are only human and can only handle so much.
Yet this is sadly still not at the point where every if any teachers can have this beacuse "your home PC can't handle the complex algorithims" said Dr. Huang. So it wil be a while untill we each have powerfull enough softwhere to use it or they can simplify it down to be downloaded on a regualr PC which most Americans own. We can however look forward to the day that this kind of tecnology is avalable to the masses to use to further society and possibly save trroubled lives and reach all students. This is why this could be usefull to help teachers teach better to further our society and make sure that every one has the information our teachers work so hard for to get our students to grasp. This is why we need this. | 3 |
Today many students often get bored in their classrooms while going through a lesson or just by simply doing their work. These students may often resort to using their cellular device or any other electronics to keep them pre-occupied. I feel as if bringing in a more advanced peice of technology that can read the expressions of these children can make a better learing enviorment for them and make their studies more enjoyable and it doesnt only have to be used for students it could be benifical to others such as professors, doctors, animators and many more.
Everyday a person is able to detect wether or not how a person is feeling just by the look that they have on their face. Some of these expressions may convey happiness, worried, sad and much more. But sometimes it may be difficult to decifer wether or not those are the emotions that they are actually feeling at the time.Yet Dr. Huang's new computer software,"stores similar anatomical information as an electronic code." " Prehaps Dr. Huang's emotional algorithms are a different sort of "Da Vinci code."
Using this computer may also help students by, knowing wether you feel happy or sad. Or wether your confused or bored. The computer will "modify its lesson, like an effective human instuctor." Which may advocate a better learning enviornment. This new technology may improve the attendance of students and hopefully make them more willingly to be more involved in their education. This may also increse graduation rates as well as college acceptance rates.
Finally, using Dr. Huang's new computer software program, may make it eaiser for surgeons who have difficulties planning out more extencive and more invasive surgeries, use a more advanced form of "video surgery". This new software may also be benifcial to video game disigners and animators by " making computor-animated faces more expressive." As mentioned in the article "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. So computors need to understand that, too". Meaning that understanding how humans already communicate their algorithms will not be similar those to a regular PC.
As one may be able to see, using Dr. Huang's new software program may be benifical to students, doctors, animators and many more just by being able to recognize the emotions not only displayed on the outside but using the muscles in your face to differenciate the ones you feel in the inside.to create a more intresting enviornment to the area around them. | 3 |
State senator I ask that you favor the idea of keeping the Electoral College instead of changing it to election by popular vote for the president of the United States.
Even though the Electoral College is a despised method for choosing the president it has it's reasons. I'll show you why I am in defense of the Electoral College.
We need a president that would regard all of our interests and concerns. Someone can't just appeal to one region and expect to win because ".. a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a succesful president."(source 3) due to no region having the amount to guarantee the electoral votes to elect a president. Dealing with votes it is a problem to have a run-off election. One of the concerns with Electoral College is that ".. voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." stated in source 2. But the Electoral College simplifies that problem with the electoral votes. Remarked in source 3 it says "For example, Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Electoral College (301 and 370 electoral votes, respectively.)" without the Electoral College it would have complicated the election procces but thanks to the Electoral College reduces the complication and produces a clear winner.
To win, the majority of the states have a system that gives all the electors votes to the winning candidate except Maine and Nebraska having their own way of proportional representation which is explained in source 1. This gives the certainty of a result, for example in source 3 it says that ".. even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landside electoral-vote victory in that state" this makes it highly unlikely for a tie. The Electoral College gives political balance to large states (population wise) higher the population the more problems, concerns ,or interests is needed to be attend to. Like how source 3 says " .. a large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state does..."
To me all these reasons should prove to you that even though the Electoral College has its problems it's benefits outweigh it. So being in favor of keeping the Electoral College is the right choice don't you think so too? | 3 |
First of all, the Electoral College is regarrded as a non-democratic method of selecting a president that should be over powered by declaring the canidate who gets the most popular votes the winner. The Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense, it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution.
So, other things being equal, a large state gets more attention from presidential canidates in a campaign than a small state does. Most people vote for a presidant just because everyone else did, his/her race, his/her gender, and other things like that. Voting for that presidant with no knowlage about them or what they are capable of. But people tend to vote for that president out of majority because if 50% of the largest state voted "yes" for this president then we vote for him and then he/she is now president and is not doing anything right and they think that if you take away this or you do that it will solve the problem. But it won't, it'll only make things worse and upset a lot of people.
Under the electoral college system, voters vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and Kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors ? They can be anyome not holding public office. Sometimes statee conversations, sometimes the presidential candidates themsleves. The single best argument against the electoral college is that we might call the disaster factor. | 0 |
Using technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable because I don´t think we need social media to tell us how we feel in a classroom setting because as students we know what are facial expressions are like. For example, happiness is one of the expressions that people use everyday without this technology telling us if we are happy or not which I would argue is against this think it is unreliable. According to the text it states that ´´moving our facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them. Another reason why I think using this technology to read emotional expression to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable because I just don´t see it as helpful really and everybody has different emotions happy, sad, mad, or proud. So that is why I don´t think this technology can help figure out emotions in a classroom.
The technology that we use to determine emotions in a classroom can be through social media and how I think that it is not helpful at all. For example, a lie detector is a tool to tell whether you are lying or telling the truth which I can see is helpful but really not that helpful at all that´s what we got courts to go to and if somebody did something in the classroom to attract facial expression we can tell by the look on their face and how they reacted to the situation which is why we got counselors to talk to when we are faced with personal issues or just having one of those days. Another reason why the the technology like FACS according to the text wouldn´t be helpful for students in a classroom setting is because all though technology can determine facial expressions when used in the reak world I don´t think it can determine emotional feelings students have in a classroom. According to the text it states that ´´a classroom computer could recognize´´ when a student is becoming confused or bored´´, Dr. Huang predicts´´. While that may sound good I just think it´s bias and would never be used because we can determine as humans if students are confused or bored by how the class is or questions on an assignment.
In the classroom technology I don´t think could handle what we feel as students emotionally on the inside and outside in a classroom whether it be the whole day of school or the last day of school. This brings me back to my point about the students being confused or bored in a classroom really because if a classmate is bored their expression would be mad because a teacher would talk a lot or a student might take a lot of time with a presentation by talking for a lot of minutes, or another way might be yawning or sighing. Technology wouldn´t help the cause of emotional emotions when a studet loss a loved one and a student would have to miss a day because they had to go to a funeral for the person that died, and anytime students here that they grieve and start crying. That is another reason why technology would not be valuable to read certain emotions.
Using this technology like FACS could not read certain emotions because number 1 it wouldn´t be able to tell what students are feeling in the classroom. Number two I don´t think it would be as resourceful when describing emotional feelings inside and outside of a particular student in a classroom environment. And the last one would be that it wouldn´t be able to tell if a person is confused or bored. I just don´t see the value of technology proving anything to us about how students feel in a classroom. That´s why technology wouldn´t be valued as a reliable tool.
In conclusion, I am against the value of using this technology to read students emotional expressions in a classroom because it wouldn´t be helpful. It wouldn´t be valued as the greatest thing to help determine students facial expressions like happy, sad, bored, confused, or mad. It would be a waste of time just using the technology for that particular situation with students in a classroom. This technology would fail and not meet the requirements or standards of facial expression. I would advise people to go against the people that are for technology being valued as a way to read facial expressions. | 3 |
Dear State Senator,
Have you ever noticed when you look at the votes, The popular votes is more accutate and used more than the Elector college votes?
When you gather up all the populare votes, Usally one canidate has more popular votes,
But when it came time for the election , The canidate that had the most popular votes didn't win at all.
Like in 2000, When Gore had more popular votes than Bush, Yet fewer electoral votes,
But that was the first time since 1888.
(pgh 2 lines 4 of In Defense of the Electoral College)
You have to think when the people vote, Their not the ones who are really making a choice in the electoral college.
It is the electors who elect the president, Not the people.
When you vote for a presidental candidate you're actully voting for a slate if electors.
(pgh 1 lines 3 In Defense of the Electoral College)
Yes some people are aware that the Electoral College was established by our founding fathers but they also state the constitution ect. can be changed as the country grows and changes.
Whith elector college Each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors.
(pgh 5 lines 1 in what is the electoral college)
Meaning all the people in your state which is usally alot, all those votes are only represented by a couple of electors from your state vs. that with all the people of your state with indiviual votes.
sounds pretty rediculas.
Most states have a "winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidental candidate.
(pgh 7 lines 1 in Wat is the electoral college)
Which some times isn't the best idea.
Ober 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now.
This year voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidencey.
And yet, the electoral college still has its defenders. what gives?...
(pgh 1 lines3-5 in why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong)
Whats wrong with electoral college system is voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors , who in turn elect the president.
Again the people sadly do not have a choice indiviually for who they want.
Alot of times voters get confused in this and just give up voting all together.
Some people ask, Can voters control whom their electors vote for?
Not always.
Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate?
Some times,Because they get really confused with how things are.
People have been arguing this situation for a long time now yet electoral college is still in place.
Who knows maybe you and the other senators might decied to try to go with the popular vote some say.
Thank you for your time.

Self driving cars should be encouraged. this coulld be the future of all transportation. Where would this country be without taking risks in new technology. Worst case scenario, if the cars do turn out to be more dangerous than the normal cars, all you have to do is wait for them to improve the model. And when it comes to the laws being written, just make the people sign a contract at the dealership that says the company takes no resposibility over injury.
The first reason i think this should happen is because it could be the future of all transportation, imagine all of the people that would be able to go places because now they dont have to drive.Take drunk drivers for example. in todays society people who arwe drunk arent allow to drive, but if the car drove its self, they would be able to get home safely.People with impare dvision or other sorts of disabilities could also get around without have to depend on someone else.
The second reason as to why i think self driving cars should be produced is because being scared of what ifs isnt going to help this country evolve technology wise. If we wouldnt have taken a risk we wouldnt even have cars. and if we did create something dangerous , all we did was give it to the military.
The third and final reason i think self driving cars should exist is that virtually and problem you can think of can be fixed over time. If the car goes too fast or too slow or has problems turning, all you would have to do is "update it". If certain new laws have to be made, fine. If people cant decide who to blame for a accident, make the buyer sign a contract that says the company isnt responsible for an damages to vehicles or people.
In conclusion, ithink that seld driving cars should exist because they are the future of transportation, we need to take risks to advance, and all of the problems would be easily solvable. | 2 |
Hello there, my name is Luke Bomberger. I have been part of the Seagoing Cowboys for five years. I have crossed the Atlantic Ocean sixteen times, and the Pacific Ocean twice, all through the Seagoing Cowboys program.
Here is a little information on this wonderful program. The Seagoing Coyboys is an exquisit program that has allowed me to experience wonderful adventures and visit many swell and unique places. Now I asume that you are reading this because you would like to know what the Seagoing Cowboys promgram is or would like to participate in it. If you would like to know what it is or how to join, just keep on reading. The Seagoing Cowbows program is a program that allows you to help the people that have been affected by World War II. Have you been affected by that war? Do you know somebody who has been affected by that war? How did you or they feel? I am going to asume that you (or they) were not the happiest person then, but if you would like to make someone as happy as they ever will be, join the Seagoing Cowboys today!
When you sign up you will be helping the Seagoing Cowboys program, and the people who have been affected by World War II across the Atlantic Ocean.
Please participate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program. Your time and effort will be greatly valued to those who have lost so much! This paragraph explains to you why you should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. I Hope to see you soon with the Seagoing Cowboys! | 1 |
A driverless car seems so cool and nobody would never have to really do anything. But, there are consequences that comes with that project. Well one if a person is going to buy one of those driverless would really have to think about it like do i really need it or what will happen while i have this car. A driverless is alright but what if the manufactures made it that the driver could still have control when ever they want. Without the car alerting them its time to take over whenever the driver gets tired of driving they would just hit a button and the will drive on its own.
What if the driver gets into a(n) accident? Who would pay for the damaged car because it wouldn't be right for the driver to pay. The manufactures were the ones who made the car. So, therefore they shoul have thought like if the car startsto not function right it is the vechiles fought not the driver. It wouldn't make sense for the driver to pay. The manufactures would really have to be the ones to apy for the damaged. If were the driver that had to pay they were the ones that wanted the car but on the other hand it's not the drivers fault for the carnot functioning right.
Why would anyone want to have a driverless car that still needs a driver. Wouldn't drivers get bored of just sitting there. What is the whole point of have a driverless car when the driver obvislously still needs to drive it. Then might as well is not have a driverlesss car. Having a driverless car is a very dangerous thing because not only would the car be movineon it's own but the driver would get distracted. either, by his/her phone or thier kids in the back not acting right. The driver would either text and drive. Also, thedriver would take anvantage of it like they could be drinking and driving because they are not controling the car.
So, honestly in my opinon it is not right to have a driverless car because of safety reasons and money situations as in the driver would have to pay because the car was not functioning right. And also texting and driving , drinking etc. | 1 |
Can you imagine a world with free personal transportation? A world where there's not a need to own a car,becsuse the public tansporation is free and reliable. Public transportation such as the city bus is a common mode of travel within the city,but replacing independent driving with automatic cars is a controversial subject.
In my opinion,driverless cars are a wonderful invention. As it is commonly known,there is a ridiculous amount of c02 polluting out air. I think that lower amounts cars out driving would improve the air quality and the health of wildlife in the area. Drivers may become bored more easily when driving because they are not focusing on driving but in my opinion even this is a positive factor. I say that its a positive factor, because people tend to get distracted while driving which could cause crashes. Car wrecks are completely avoidable,and I think should make changes in technology to prevent occurences like that.
All in all,I think that self driven cars are a positive innovation. I hope to see them on the road soon. | 1 |
You should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program, because the Seagoing Cowboys program you take lots of trips, and you will be able to visit new countries and states. In the program you will take lots of cattle-boat trips. When you take trip you will be fed and watered. Seagoing Cowboys had to take care of animals in World War ll. That is a good thing to help animals when people are in war, so they don't die. You have to serve night watchman. When look was on the ship he almost went overboard, but a small strip of metal kept him from going overboard. That is the only thing i want like about being a Seagoing Cowboy. He was happy to be alive. but being on a ship when it's stormy, you can get cracked ribs or injured, because the ship was out of controll and it was very stormy. When you have return trips, you can have lots of fun when you are a Seagoing Cowboy. When you are done being a Seagoing Cowboy, it will make you aware of people needs in other countries. Awareness will stay with you, after you learn about people needs in other countries. That is why the Seagoing Cowboys program is a great program for everyone in this world. | 1 |
In the future computers might be able to respond to how you feel. Thanks to new computer software that can now determine your emotions it might just happen. I feel that this software could be very useful for students and teachers.
I think that Facial Action Coding Systems could be useful for students because the computer could read your emotions and make changes just like a real teacher. For example, in the passage it says, "a classroom computer could recognize when a student is feeling confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." This means that a computer lesson could change if the computer determined that you were bored. It could also explain more fully if it determined you were confused. This software could be very useful in school computers.
Facial Action Coding Systems could also help teachers by showing how the kids are feeling. The software could alert teachers if a student was confused, upset, bored, ect. In the passage it says, "Eckman has classified six basic emotions-happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness-and then associated each with a characteristic movements of the facial muscles. This means that the software is acurate and could help teachers determine how a kid is feeling. This could help teachers because the teacher could then react to how the kid is feeling. If a kid was sad the teacher could comfort them and if the kid was mad the teacher could talk with them. This could help teachers out very much and could decrease school violence.
Facial action coding systems could be very useful to students and teachers. It could help students that are taking online classes because the computer could respond like an actual teacher. This software could help teachers by showing the kids emotions. Then the teacher could react to how the student is feeling. For these reasons I think Facial Action Coding Systems could be very useful to teachers and students in schools. | 2 |
Hi! Thanks for reading by Artical! I hope you like it! In this artical i will sow you reasons to join the Seagoing Cowboys program. It is a very good program and you should join!
The Seagoing Cowboys program is a progam where you have to take horses ALL over the world. It could be France, Germany, or even Africa! I know some reasons that might get you to want to join the Seagoing Cowboys. First, you get to see many places! They can be very buitiful, or very nasty. The mystery is what i like about that reason. Second, you can help people in need, like people in africa need food and you can help them get it and you can help plant crops and ots of other stuff! Last, Just HORSES! Who doesn't like horses?! You can take care of them, and you can feed them, and you can pet them, and all sorts of stuff! You also get extra time and you can play games!
Thanks for coming all ths way! I hope you cn get time to read some more about this stuff. If you want to join this than YAY! If you don't want to join it, (No Comment) Lol thanks for readinng. See ya 'Round the sea! | 1 |
The reason others should join the Seagoing Coboys is ,because you would be be able to expolore the world.
I say this ,because in paragrah four ,and five Luke Bomberger whent on 9 diffrent trips. luke had been to Europe,china,Acropolis: greece,and Venice:italy .
Also if you love the ocean a Seagoing Cowboy is the job for you. A Seagoing Cowboy gets to see lots of the ocean. luke went across the paccific ocean twice. He also when across the the alantic ocean 16times. I found this information in the introduction obove the black line of paragrah 1.
Also if you fasinated ,and would like working with animals being a Seagoing Cowboy might be a job of your intreset.
I found in paragrah 2 that the(the united nations relief and rehabilitation administration)
URRA hired '' Seagoing Cowboys'' to take care of the horses, young cows,and mules that were shipped overseas.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is much more than the adventures its about being aware of the people and contries in need. This in luke Bomberger eyes is what is means to be a true Seegoing Cowboy. Information stated in paragrah 9. | 1 |
First, I think the Face that was found in Mars was just a natural landform. I think that because there is nothing out there in the space that would make a random planet looks like it has a face. The Face was a huge rock formation which resembles a human head but people aren't sure what it really is. According to the article,"The caption noted a 'huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth.' " (Unmasking the Face on Mars,1) Just because it looks like a human face with human creatures, doesn't mean we should come up with a conclusion.
Next, it is true that the Face looks like a human's face, but there is no prove yet. It might be other rocks in space that caused the face. If you think the Face was created by aliens, you will first need a prove of aliens existance. First, we don't know if aliens really exist. If we don't know about existance of aliens, that would make it harder for people to believe the Face was created by aliens. Also, it says over the year, the Face gets sharper. The article states, "And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos." (Unmasking the Face on Mars,1) and the article also states, "Nevertheless, on April 8, 2001- a cloudless summer day in Cydonia-Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. 'We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view,' said Garvin. 'Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximun resolution.' Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." (Unmasking the Face on Mars,1) Does this means, aliens had been creating the Face more sharper and clearer for humans to discover over the few years?
They should also learn more about the natural landforms of the space to know more about what could create a mysterious face on Mars. I think we should think or look more further into the article for the conclusion to imerge.
In a conclusion, I think the Face isn't created by the aliens. Even the article says it was not an alien who did this. The article states, "There was no alien monument after all." (Unmasking the Face on Mars,1) If you think the Face was created by aliens, you should look further into it, to make your statement come true. For all these reasons, I strongly believed that the Face wasn't created by an alien. | 2 |
Automobiles are the key essential to people's everyday life. It allows them to get from point A to point B. But the outcome from the rise of these machines, are the amount of pollution they had cause. Limiting there usage seems the right action to do. Our specimen has been living for thousands of year without automobilies. What's the point of using them if their risking the life of our enviroment.
An advantage of limiting cars could be that it lowers the amount of air pollution, which causes global warming. From Beijing to France, being as the most polluted cities in the world. Imagine the amount of smog and intensity that the people have to face, having gasoline being spewed on you. On the contrary, the city of Vauban being built in 2006. It has been a prime example of a glorious city without the needs of automobiles. Kids to adults living an prosperic life, riding bicycles or just taking a stroll down the sidewalk. The store is only a few blocks away, basically all you need is a pair of legs. The whole fault in our system is due to our lack of judgement. Having our malls or stores being built nearly miles away from homes, on paved roadways or highways. Obviously an automobile is needed, but this will only cause the major destruction of our enviroment. Limited transportation is when we really can tell if were able to stop this rapid growth of pollution.
Our generation of kids and adults, thinks that a car is mandatory. But in reality, not every individual should own a car. From 2001 to 2009, the decrease of teens from the age sixteen to twenty one obtaining driver's license. Has dramatically declined, due to the realization of the amount of money they could save. From taking public transportation or car-pooling with friends. It could help them save money, rather than spending money on gas. Which could range from $1.50 to $4.20, depending on the circumstances. These kids or adults could use that amount of money saved for future plans. Their are more pros than cons when limiting the usage of cars. The people of Bogota, Colombia celebrate a day without any vehicles. All you can see, is the broad smiles of the people's faces and utterly shocking the most, is that the streets are busy with people rather than automobiles. Imagine if were able to do such a thing, the amount of stress that would vanish. Dealing with traffic or pondering your mind to the amount of gas you need. It would simply just vanish in a blink of an eye.
If we were able to create vast systems of high tech highways to subways. Then we can manage to build programs or new forms of transportation. Without the hassle of using a vehicle, to spawning industrial factories where they are made from. An prime example is New York's recent bike-sharing programs and its skyrocketing tunnel tolls. The main priority of this creation is to lower the usage of cars. Being one of the America's highly populated and dense cities. The scale or outcome of this program of limiting cars, could decide the factor if changes are possible. Then if so, then this new system can be an advantage or an example of what we can do to lower our usage of cars. That creates the majority of air pollution across the entire face of this planet.
In the end, the advantages of limiting cars or any form of transportation. Could lower the amount of air pollution, and the oncoming production of resources that affects our enviroment. But mainly create an atmosphere that will all humans alike to every single organism, to be able to live a prosperic life. Without the haze of dense smog, and stress of traffic jams. Thus, we can make or generate of new era of internal happiness. | 3 |
Have you ever looked in a telescope and seen the Face on Mars? Many people believe the The Face on Mars was created by aliens, but it is a natural landform. The Face on Mars is a natural landform because images from a JPL website showed the Face was a natural landform, the Face looks like Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, and if there was an ancient civilization on Mars NASA would benefit from it.
First, on April 5, 1998 Mars Global Surveyor flew over the Face for the first time. "Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos." (7) When a JPL website revealed the photo many anxious waiters were astounished that the Cydonia was a natural landform.
Secondly,
Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASAs Mars Exploration Program, confirmed the Face was a of a butte or mesa. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, (12) Mr. Garvin also claimed Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. (12) Which means that the Face on Mars is very similar to a lave dome, butte, or mesa.
Next, if there was an ancient civilization on Mars and they made the Face then NASA would benefit from it. "Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Marsevidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." (5) This quote is explaining that if NASA knew there was an ancient civilization on Mars then they would benefit from the civilization. Why would NASA keep an ancient civilization on Mars a secret if they could benefit from the situation?
Finally, the Face on Mars is a natural landform because images from a JPL web site showed the Face was a natural landform, the Face looks like Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, and if there was an ancient civilization on Mars NASA would benefit from it. Now do you believe the Face on Mars was created by aliens? | 2 |
Once upon a time in a galaxy far far far far away there was a head. The head of an unknowen thing. NASA has discovered a head and they do not no how it got there or where it came from."My name is Rick and today I will interview Mr H"."Mr H is a astro physist and has been studing this mystoruis face for ten years". "Mr H thinks that the head was created by aliens. "Good afternoon Mr H how are you today". "Im just fine Rick lets get to the topic of the head". "So Mr H why do you think the aliens created the head and why do you think it is on mars". "Well the reason i believe the aliens made the head is so that everyone would be taking about it and the reason its on mars is because the planet they live on is one light year away so thats where they put it". "Mr H let me ask you this for one thing where are you getting your infromation from about this head". "Thats a good question Rick you and I are friends and you work at NASA i got some infromation from you my other source is what i've been hearing on the news they alaways talk about the head". "Mr H that is quiet true what you have told me about your infromation". "Mr H but why do you think they put it on mars". " well Rick the reason i think they put it on mars is because for one they are only one light year away from mars and a spaceship could reach mars and NASA could go up and snap pitcures of it to analize it and find out what is it". "Thanks mr H for this infromation and have a great day see you soon".

In order to detect human emotions these students are saying thrie computer can do it. I dont believe this and i'll tell you why.
Computers can tell you how u fell on the outside but can't tell you about the inside. Emotions are not based on facial expressions. I can smile through pain but the computer won't tell you that. Many people cause decive you with there emotions. The person who created this only uses six basic emotions that can decive you on the outside.
Explaining human emotions are very difficult because you cant actually tell how they feel on the inside. The emotions the show on the outside could decive how you see things. You should take the time to ask the person how they really feel after you get the results to see how accurate the computer really is. This computer cause not actually help these researchers.
Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional coomunication. With this being said i do not believe any computer in the 21st century is advanced enough to read true human emotion. Maybe one day somebody will invent the greatest computer ever. But as of right now emotion truly can't be read unless the person themselves actually tells you. | 1 |
In the article "The Challenge of exploring Venus" the author describes why humans should continue to explore Venus. The Author of the article makes several convincing claims throughout said article.
One example is in paragraph four it states that long ago Venus was very Earth like in the fact that it was largly covered in ocean. As most of us have been taught that water is essential for all life to be able to survive. Venus also has many geological features similar to Earth in that it has valleys,mountains,and craters. These similarities make us curious and what to ask the question if Venus was so Earth like then did it ever contain living organisms? Also we must ask ourselves could it ever sustain life.
Another factor that makes humanity so curious about Venus as it states in paragraph four as well that Venus is one of our nearest options for a planetary visit. Imagine looking up at clear stary night and along with the pale face of the moon and the twinkling of the stars. You would see a shining glow in the distance wondering what could it be what is going on there and can I visit it. For Venus it is entirely possible to do so.
Though one might say that the author gave too many negative factors to visiting Venus. Yes he does but these are but challenges in the way of human curiosity. Yes the air might be ninety-seven percent carbon dioxide yes the surface might temperature might be eight hundred degrees. Can these challenges stand in the way of human injanuity and our will to discover the unkown. No nothing can stand in the way of human curiosity. For eaxample in Pragraph seven it states that NASA is working on other approaches such as simplified electronics made of silicon carbide. This invention has even been tested by the simulated chaos of Venus and it lasted for three weeks.
Though we might not be ready yet for our long awaited visit to Venus it will adventualy be possible. I might not live to see it but in the wake of human curiosity and the will to discover the unkown nothing can stand in our way. Nothing will stop us from reaching for the stars. | 3 |
Now that technology is advancing greatly from the twenty-first century, topics such as driverless cars are now becoming an option. While there may be positive aspects of having driverless cars, in personal preference the negative out-weigh the positive.
For starters in the beginning paragraph the author of this passage is trying to persuade people to imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore. The sentence is in a way contradicting because there most likely will not come a time when no one will buy a car, they will always be around, just more efiicient and improved. Secondly in paragraph two sentence three it states that the car still alerts the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents. The point of having driverless cars is so that the "driver" does not have to do any work, so by the driver having to be alerted whenever a problem happens is not so efficient as it may seem.
In paragrpah four and five the author seems to talk a lot about how the car will need a lot of this and that; such as needing "a whole lot of sensors." By needing all these supplies like video cameras being mounted near the rearview mirror. Right there is an error, if at any given time an accident or something were to happen and the driver needed to take over, how would she or he be able drive and look at the mirror or cars in the way if there is a camera in their way? The author also claims that the most important bit of technology in the system if the spinning sensor, and how it uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroudnings, and the combination is necessary for the driverless cars to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel. While this may sound "cool" the author and creators of driverless cars forgot to mention how much money it would cost to make a driverless car, let alone for one, but over millions of cars? It would just be more efficient to make regular cars as they are made now, and save money.
Some people may argue that using regular cars just wastes gas, and etc, but people have already made cars using electricity rather than oil. Again in paragraph five the author says that "Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." Well if people allow cars to drive on their own and have all these sensors and wires that would "mimic" the skills of a human driver, won't disfunctions go wrong somewhere along the way? Even today with technology it can't always be trusted, because something can always go wrong, and if you have a family in a driverless car and something were to malfunction... Not a great situation to be apart of. Yes it would take a lot of trying and the end result could be amazing and superficial, but it's not worth it.
In paragraph six when it is stated that no way before 2000 would anyone be able to make something intersting, and devices such as sensors, computers, and maping weren't there. That is completely agreeable with, but is making driverless cars the most efficient way to use those resources that we do have? Yet again there would be so many malfunctions that would occurr. Paragraph seven it is said that the car can handle driving functions up to 25 mph. That's not very helpful or useful for people who need to get places. Many driving signs are over 25 mph. Not very efficient there.
If someone was in a driverless car he or she would not want to have to worry about anything. "This means the human driver MUST remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." (paragraph 7) The whole point of being in a driverless car is to not have to worry about anything, and staying alert is the last thing someone would want to do. It is as if that person is driving a car, so he or she might as well be driving. One thing that is mentioned which has botha positive and negative outlook on it is how GM developed seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger. Thar is a positive, yet one option is to have flashing lights on the windshield. Wouldn't having distracting lights on a windshield distract other people who could be potentially driving? That could then cause an accident and more problems.
This article does present the positive and negative views. Paragraph eight specifically states "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver?" The point that has been trying to be made across the entire time. Safety is a big concern, which is agreed, but having displays that signal when the driver needs to drive is not that great.
The idea of having driverless cars is magnificent and might come true as time and technology advances even more, but it is believed that it is too soon to have driverless cars. | 4 |
A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves is a program where you get to go on many adventures and visit unique places, but you also get to help those in need. Many countries were left in ruins after World War II, and to help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, nations joined together to form UNRRA. You sign up and can help take care of horses, young cows, and mules.
A good reason to join this program is if you like helping people in need. The countries were left in ruins and lots of their supplies and animals were gone. You would get to help recover all of these things and help take care of animals.
Another reason to join is that you are allowed to experience many adventures and travel across oceans. Some of the Seagoing Cowboys had the benefit of seeing Europe and China. You would get to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States and make your way to China. There are many other countries to visit, one including Italy.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy can be more than just an adventure. Sure you get to tour many great countries, but you also get the benefit of getting to help all those that were affected by World War II. | 2 |
I most defintely agree with the scientists behind the Facial Action Coding System. By having the ability to read a student's emotions the world of education could make huge strides. By simply altering a lesson to fit a child's personality, the lesson could become more enjoyable and less challenging for the child.
Dr. Huang predicts that, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor." If Dr. Huang is in fact right about his technology's potential, children all over the world could become better educated. From my own personal experience I know that when the lesson deals with something I am less interested in I become bored, but if the lesson metions something I enjoy, then it becomes ten times easier.
Dr. Huang also says that, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication." This is one of the most important lines in the article. By saying this, Dr. Huang opens up a world of oppurtunities for his technology. Many teachers around the world would agree that their students when talking, commuicate more with their emotions than physical words. These teachers would be able to know how their entire class was feeling as soon as they walked in. This would enhance the teacher's teaching style for the day ,and increase the students learning oppurtunity.
Dr. Huang's final arguement is also very important. He says when reffering to nonverbal human communications that, "Computers need to understand that to." Dr. Huang believes that computers must learn to read the human emotions, and I agree. This generation is becoming more and more about technology, and most schools have converted completely to technology based schooling. If every school had the ability to use the Facial Action Coding System, the intelligence of this generation and generations to come would continue to grow exponentialy.
The Facial Action Coding System, is a huge new technology that would make huge improvements to classrooms. Its ability to recognize emotions would not only benefit students, but would benefit the teachers of those students. The intelligence of our generation and genrations that preceed us will continue to grow with the use of FACS. | 3 |
The author think that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because astronomers are fascinated by it. And also Venus is the hottest
planet in our Solar System. It brings curiosity to humans, just because its dangerous doesn't mean it should be limited. The body paragraph will get into all the texual evidence.
The text states, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus becasue it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system." And since Venus is the closest planet to earth that makes humans want to visit even more. But also the text also states, "At thirty-plus miles above the surface, tempatures would still be toasty at around 10 degrees fahrenheit." That proves that even though you could be so far from the surface it is still very hot to us humans, which is very dangerous but can survive. "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."Which is why we should study Venus despite the dangers.
In conclusion, i think that although Venus is basically the most dangerous planet in our solar system. I think that it shouldn't stop us but should want to make us study the planet even more. But find safe ways for us to do so. | 1 |
I am for the devlopment of these cars . Why , because in the articele it says that the cars a being created to be more smarter . Such as having senors to tell people and when not to stop and go . Or when they turn at the wrong time it sensors them to stop . They are becoming more safer , as a car . Also for the people driving the car .
Aslo . it says that Google has had cars that could drive independently , under specific conditions since the year 2009 . Cars have driven mopre than half a million miles , without crashing as it states in parapgraph two . The google cars aren't techinally driverless . But, they still alert the driver when to pull out the drive way or dealing with any trafic issues , like roadworks or other car accients or accidents periods .
Since they had no option for smarter roads , they turned to smarter cars as it states in paragraph two . In paragraph two it also says that they used sensors and other technology such as : sensors on the left rear wheel , a roatatinf sensor on the roof , a video camera mounted near the rerview , and etc . With all of those pieces of technology the driverless car can mimic the skill of a human at the wheel .
Senors are nothing new to the world of course . In the 80s it states in paragraph 5 that , " auntomakers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation on antilock brakes " . Over the years the sensors for cars just got more ,and more advanced . As they got more advanced within the 10 years , they have been used to dectect and respond to the danger and out on control skids and rollovers . In paragraph 5 it says that if they're futher more improvements in the sensors and computer hardware and software for making driving safer then there will be leading cars that can handle more and more driving task on their own .
In conclusion , i agree with the devolpment for cars . There is so much information that I've seen in the article .It tells me how safe cars have been and will be in the future if they make any more improvents for the sensors on the cars and etc . They have more techinally other than the senosor , for the car to be more safe . It says in the article that their have been fewer accidents since the senor has been improved . | 2 |
Why does NASA consider the "Face of Mars" to be a natural landform? They claim that the "face" is the Martian equivalent to a butte or mesa. There are multiple points of evidence that support this claim.
Firstly, NASA has traveled to the location multiple times, and photographed it extensively. In the passage, it is stated that NASA sent two different spacecraft to photograph the formation three different times. While Viking I's camera appears to capture a face-like structure, this is not the case. In the passage, it is said that to confirm that this was a natural occurence, NASA sent the Mars Global surveyor to capture another image. This image was much sharper, and appeared to favor the idea that the site was natural. Some people were not satisified due to a claimed "haze" that hid the structure during the cloudy, windy period on Mars. The Global Surveyor was sent back a second time, and this time, it captured clear, still images that are at the absolute maximum resolution. (About 1.5 meters per pixel.) This was more than enough to capture an image of any structures on the site, but none were found.
In addition, NASA has no reason to keep the public misinformed about the so-called "alien face." Quite the opposite actually, as NASA would benefit immensely from the funds that could be acquired using the publicity. If there was conclusive evidence supporting the claim the "alien face" was a monument constructed by ancient Martian civilizations and not just a natural formation on the planet, NASA would advertise the claim and it's evidence in an attempt to receive more funding.
On the other hand, I can see how some people could be fooled into believing that there was once a civilization on Mars. In the passage, NASA uses a caption that says the structure "resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."
However, now that NASA has investigated the site and taken multiple photos confirming the site as a rock formation, the structure should be regarded as a regular Martian mesa that posseses an uncanny resemblance to a human face.
In conclusion, the "Face of Mars" has been proven to be little more than a large rock formation that simply bore an unnatural resemblance to a human face. The belief that it is otherwise a structure of ancient alien origin is unsubstantiated and incorrect. | 3 |
NASA has gotten so many questions about this face on mars. Is it created by aliens , is it a sign ? So many question unanswered to world about this face made about the unknown. People have wanted answers and
I'm a NASA scientist will give it to them as truthful as I can.
First question , Is this face made by aliens ? Most common question of all , NASA isn't really for sure if aliens made this becuase we still don't have proof of alien life or life on Mars. We haven't went to down on Mars to detect it or scan it . See if it was a rock formed by Mars itself or was it just there before and we haven't noticed it .
Next question, Is this an sign by the unknown and if it is what would earth do
or NASA ? NASA has already think that
this face remind this of a natural landform on earth but we are not sure if this is an sign from what you may call it the unknown. If is was an sign from the unknow , we would probably go check it out and see if there any life on Mars form this to appear.
Finally question , Do you NASA scientist believe that Mars made this on it own ? Mars could have made this on it own, but we are going with that thorie until we go check it out scan it , run test the whole nine yard before we go with something we are not sure about . Mars have made rock own it own before or it can be just an meator land then and made it. | 0 |
By the year 2020, I am sure we will have multiple car dealers with driverless cars. Many people think that the self driving car is dangerous, and is putting the driver and everyone else at risk. In some cases those people are right, but when you level out the pros and cons, the pros overrule.
I am for self driving cars because when on the road, so many distractions can accur inside one's car. Maybe the driver is putting on makeup, eating, or even on the phone. These actions occur everyday whether one is in a self driving car or not. Having a self driving car will eliminate the accidents caused by putting on makeup, eating, or talking on the phone. However, if at any point the car can not control the road conditions, the driver must be ready to take over. It may come as a surprise to the drivers when they are in the middle of putting on makeup and suddenly they have to steer through road construction. It can get exhausting when one is sitting behind the wheel waiting for their turn to drive, but the driver must always be alert. The driver should do whatever they can to stay focused and not get too distracted so that when the time comes they are ready to drive.
Legally many teenagers get their license at age sixteen. Some of those teenagers are not comfortable or are not confident in driving in the open road just yet. With the self driving car, one can gain back that confidence and let the car take them wherever they want. Now other drivers do not have to worry about young drivers getting in accidents because the self driving car will prevent the child from danger. However when the time comes to drive itself, the young driver must be able to take control and not get scared. Many accidetns today happen because people are not paying attention or they get nervous and do not know how to act on the situation. Teenagers especially, with little experience, have no clue what to do when faced with an obstacle. They panic and do not stay calm and handle the situation.
Those who have injuries are restricted to their driving. It depends on how severe the injury is, but the driver will be notified if driving is safe for them. With the self driving car, the driver can sit back and relax knowing that the car will do everything for them. When one is injured it is hard to stay at home and not get things done. With the self driving car, the driver can still get around town and get things done without the injury being a conflict.
Yes the self driving car is fantastic and benefits many, but it does not mean that the driver should slack off and not pay attention. The driver is still at risk for any accident that may occur while on the road. No excuses will be tolerated because the driver knows that if at any time they should take over. The driver's focus should always stay on the raod and be alert to anything that may harm or become an obstacle of the car. I look forward to 2020 when the self driving car is made known. I hope that the rate of accidents goes down with the assistance of driverless cars. As technology grows everyday, I look forward to when life is made simpler. | 3 |
I honestly think driverless cars are an excellent idea. They could help drivers out a lot and possibly change transportation forever. There are a couple reasons why I believe driverless cars should happen. The first one is that driverless cars will make it easier to travel long distances. That reason is followed by the fact it'd be easier to drive if you have small children in the vehicle. And the last reason I have on why driverless cars should become popular is that there will be a lot less accidents.
The first reason I believe driverless cars should become popular is that it could make traveling long distances a lot easier than it always has been. With a driverless car, you wouldn't have to stop and take breaks due to you being tired. This would reduce the time it took to reach your destination. With the car being able to drive itself, you also wouldn't have to stop and sleep. The car could work on getting you to where you'd like to go and you could get back in control after you were well rested. I know these things seem dangerous and impossible, but I'm sure driverless car companies could come up with things to alert you if need be. Vibrating seats or a loud announcement would be good ideas on how to wake a driver if they are needed.
Another reason I'm convinced driverless cars are great is because it would be a lot easier to drive with small children. While the car is operating itself, you could look back and check on the kids a couple times. If the children were in absolute need of anything, you could take care of it while the car took care of all of you. If, by chance, you're needed to drive while your attention is focused on the children, the car could let you know. Like I said previously, vibrating seats or a loud announcement would work perfectly to get your attention but flashing lights or something like that could work as well.
The last reason I strongly believe that driverless cars are incredible is that there would be a huge decrease in traffic accidents. The driverless cars will always obey traffic laws, (proper steering, accleration, braking). People won't have to worry about drunk drivers as much either, with the car doing most of the work the driver won't be doing anything really. There's also no possible way for a car to be drunk. The last reason I have on why driverless cars would prevent accidents is that you wouldn't have to worry about bad weather unless the car needed you to navigate. Thick snow, rain, sleet or foggy windshields would no longer be an issue if cars could drive themselves.
I firmly believe in driverless cars changing the ways of transportation for good. Driverless cars can make it easier to travel long distances, uncomplicate driving with small children, and prevent vehicular accidents. Without the complications of driving when it isn't the best choice, transportation will be more simple for everyone. | 3 |
Since our beautiful country was born we've always used the Electoral College system to elect our presidents. It's time that we modify this old rule and change it to the popular vote, because it's simply unfair to all the hardworking people that leave work early and have to wait in line for hours to fill out a little white paper. The Electoral does not allow for everyone's voice to be heard. Clearly, the Electoral college must change to the popular vote because of the winner take all method, & the confusion.
To begin with, the Electoral college is outdated because of the winner take all system. Even if the votes are off by one, whichever partygets the most popular votes gets all of the electoral votes; the United States are basically saying everybody else's voice that voted doesn't matter. This winner takes all system also deals with population, the bigger the state the more electoral votes. This ancient system is clearly stating the citizens of the smaller states votes do not matter. Although, the winner take all method induces the candidates to focus on the toss up states, it's still unfair to everyone.
In addition, the Electoral college is irrational because of all of the confusion and trust issues. Many of the citizens in our country don't even know what an electoral college is! Plus the fact that most people think they're voting for the president, but in reality they're voting for the slate of electors. It's also possible the electors that represent your party votes for the other candidate! Another major reason the Electoral college must be abolished is because the citizens do not even get to choose their very own electors! It's like buying a new car while being blindfolded and believing the dealer the car runs fine. Everyone's going to have skepticism so they should at least let the citizens choose their own electors. Then again, the Electoral college avoids run off elections.
In conclusion, the Electoral college was once a good idea for a starting country, but we now live in a elite dynasty that must have a few modifications on how the citizens elect their leader. | 3 |
Driverless cars are on the rise in the U.S. Lots of different car companies are trying to continue the development of driverless cars. I personally think that they are a great idea, and their are many reasons why i think that. A computer driving the car is safer than a human, if a plane can go on autopilot why can't cars, and last but not least, the human in the car can take over any time.
I think that if all computers were controlling cars on the road it would be much safer than all humans controlling cars, and this is why. People get distracted on the road all the time. Other people in the car, their phones, things happening outside while they're driving and some people even drive drunk! The computer will never get distracted by the surroundings, giving it ultimate focus on the road. All the human has to do is stay alert and make sure they're ready to take over when they need to use their human skills.
Planes are put on autopilot all the time, and the people that make driving laws think driverless cars aren't safe. If that's the case, everybody should be scared for their lives when they get on a plane. Planes are put into autopilot a lot, and have no problems. Sometimes, autopilot flies the plane smoother than the pilot. The driving laws think that people will not pay attention to the road with a computer controlling the car, but even when they're driving people still dont pay attenion to the road 24/7. So with a computer driving it, you atleast know something is watching the road.
The last thing i have to say is that when the computer can't handle a situation, the driver can take over at any time. When the person needs to take over, the car quickly alerts the driver so they can handle the situation. GM developed a seat vibrator for when the car is about to back up into something. Other options are flashing windshield lights and even the cars having cameras so they can watch the driver while the driver watches the road. So work zones and accidents wont be a problem,
The three things i have said: Autopilot, a computer driving is safer, and the fact that a human can take over any time are just a few of the reasons they should allow driverless cars. Soon they will be a big thing in the U.S and around the world. Automakers are continuing the development of them and soon they will be on the road. I know i'll be getting one. | 3 |
The Seagoing Cowboys were great heroes to other country's because they transported food and horses for people who didn't have food or any transportation. Just think how good you would feel if you knew that you saved people lives just by giving them food. Well i'm going to tell you what it would feel like and why you should become a Seagoing Cowboy.
Just think of becoming a true life hero, you could become a soldier,nurse,doctor, or a Seagoing Cowboy! Seagoing Cowboys were people (men) who transported Cows, Mules, and Horses. They transported them from America to Europe,Greece,and China. Europe was left in ruins after World War || was over, so people signed up to become a Seagoing Cowboy. They would get on ships with 300+ horses, cows, and mues and enough hay and oats to feed them. A Seagoing Cowboy would check up on them every hour to make sure the animals were alright. Wow what a job.
This story is mainly about how great Seagoing Cowboys are and what they bring to other countries. They transported animals to other countries who didn't have food or transportation. Seagoing Cowboys were true heroes, they cared for animals and people. They had kind hearts for both of them. | 1 |
The face on mars is just a natural landform because when NASA captured a face on mars the scientist had figured out that it was just another Martian mesa.in the passage paragraph 2 it states that "there must have been a degree of suprise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when it appeared on the monitors".in
other words the scientist are saying that it is common enough around the planet.
in the passage paragraph 3 describes the picture on mars . they said that "it resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose,and mouth."
some people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on mars . "Although few scientist believed the face was an alien artifact Micheal Mailn and his Mars Orbiter camera team snapped a picture ten times shrper than the original Viking photos."
in the
story it says that thousands of people anxious were waiting revealiong a natural landform. there was no alien momument at all."so if there were objects in the picture like airplanes,Egyptian - style pyramids or even a small shacks ,you could see what there are" said Malin.
What the picture actually shows is the martian equvalent of a butte or mesa thats the lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on mars .
inconclusion the face on mars is a natural landform because of the camera snapping,and researches.inconclusion the face on mars is a natural landform because of the site evedidence are researches and photos wiyh better technoligy that can be better than the Viking. | 1 |
This idea could be good because students could get there lesson a diffrent way that makes them learn better. Another way is could be good is because the comuter would tell the teacher if you are confused or bored with the lesson they are teaching. It could also help the teacher and telling you if you are happy or sad.This system could be the solution come kids were looking for.
This would be a good idea to have in classrooms because it will be a different way of learning. In paragraph 6 it talks about how the computer could modify the lesson so it will be like a actual teacher. This will be good because some people dont learn the way there techer teaches and if they had this it will make learning easier for those kids. Also those kids wont be bored by the way there teacher teaches. The wll be more interested in there topic they are learning about.
Next, another way this will be good is it will tell the teacher if you are confused or bored with the way he or she is teaching and it will modify your lesson so it will help you learn the best way that is for you. In paragraph 6 it says " A classroom computer could reognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" this is good because the teacher could try and change the way she is teaching. This will make it better for the students because if the teacher changes then there attitudes will. The student will actually enjoy the lesson and not be bored or confused. Another way the system will help is it will tell you if you are happy or sad. If it tells the teacher if your happy or sad then they will know what to do to help you.
Lastly, In paragraph 6 it says "Imagine a computer that knows when you're happy or sad" If the system could do that then the teacher will know not to give you a hard time. If the computer knows that then they will know to give you some time to cool of and gain composure. If all schools had computers like tihs kids will have better grades and not be so bored and confused in class like so kids are now. The teachers could use it to show if they are not having a good mood or if they need to chage the way they teaching there students.
Having a computer like this in school could be a good idea because it will tell if you need to learn a different way, it will tell you if you are confused or bored on what the teacher is teaching about, and it will tell the teachers if there students are happy or sad. Some people need this so they can have better grades and days at school. | 3 |
Rosenthal writes that residents are "suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before...". Now, few people would equate soccer moms to such pioneers as Lewis and Clark but in their own way, they kind of are. In many European cities and suburbs, people have almost completely given up driving and cars. As hard as it is to imagine a sprawling city without drive ways and street parking, it is almost forbidden in the cities participating in this experiment.
Everyone knows that cars emit greenhouse gases and it's oh so bad for the environment and blah blah blah, and we all care. We really do. But do we care enough to give up our cars? Most likely not. But we could all stand to limit our driving, and it's easy enough. If the grocery store is only a few blocks away how about riding your bike or walking? You'll get a little exercise and a little less pollution. And while you're taking this walk, imagine the silence you would hear if everybody else was also doing this and the streets were empty. "The swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor." (Source 1). Aside from just the noise pollution our buzzing motors give us, the air pollution is much worse. Cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gases in Europe and fifty percent in some North American cities (Source 1). Beijing, China, the most polluted city in the world (Source 2) which is known for its intense smog, was almost shown up by the capital of France. Since Paris' government favors diesel over gasoline, they know exactly what was to blame. Closer to home, America's second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is due to the transportation industry (Source 4).
On the topic of big cities and driving the first picture that comes to mind is a big highway filled with honking cars and irritated drivers. Traffic. Los Angeles and New York City are only a few prime examples. Heidrun Walter, a mother in the car-less city of Vauban said, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," (Source 1). The stress that driving through congested roads, or even just driving at all can causes a lot of problems such as accidents. Businessman, Carlos Arturo Plaza, who rides a two-seated bike with his wife says, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress...". In cities with little to no car usage traffic has been dramatically cut down and with it pollution and stress levels. The two day car ban in Paris, France not only cleared smog but brought down congestion, or car traffic. Bogota, Colombia has a population of seven million people who participate in the Day Without Cars to "promote alternative transportation and reduce smog" (Source 3). Regardless of the rainy weather, the decrease in use of cars has sparked the construction of bike paths and new sidewalks.
Minimizing to eradicating car usage would drastically decrease resource use, wasted time and pollution outputs while steadily increasing our own safety. Maybe next time you're ready to jump right in your car, consider another method of transportation. | 2 |
Mr Senator,
After being informed of the United State's combination othe the electoral college and election by popular vote, I was asked wether or not we should keep the electoral college or change the election to just a popular vote. I thought about this for a while and I believe the electoral college is beneficial to the results of the election.
We are Americans. We can be innovative and change the world but we can also be lazy and uneducated. While most Americans are informed about the election and who is running, Mickey Mouse is still the most popular write-in on the ballot. Why not have a group of citizens who represent our state and party have a say in who should be president? "..each party slects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee" (Source 3). The electoral college is a group of sofisticated men and women who do this as their job. While the average American is tending to family, working or watching tv, their electors are learning the viewpoints of the presidential nominees and deciding wich one they think would be the best leader of our country. Why would it be anything but harmful to our country if we got rid of it?
I understand that you might be saying that voters don't vote for the president and electors overrule the popular vote. Electors are just an easier and more equal way of distributing the votes and electing a president. Only in rare cases has the electoral vote overruled the popular vote. Have you ever thought there might be a reason behind that though? Assuming the government isn't majorly corrupt and the elections are fixed, wouldnt you think that the slate you voted for should be trusted? Maybe they know something you don't or have witnessed the candidates actions in the past that could've swayed their vote. Citizens are keen but they do not know everything that goes on behind the scenes.
The Electoral College makes sure that there is a transregional appeal. Not one area can overrule the other votes. This is very important because it evens out the votes and reduces risks of a split country who doesn't want to follow a president elected by the South. Popular vote alone doesn't do this. If we just go by who was the most votes from citizens then If there is ever a great divide in which party want which president it could also lead to a divide in the country itsself. This could even lead to a civil war and make these 50 states not-so united. The fact that we have a system to keep order doesn't mean that we should get rid of it just because people want their write-in ballot of a cartoon character to mean more.
Keeping the Electoral College is necessary for the unity of our country. We should trust our slate of electors to vote the way we want them to. If they don't, the blame shouldn't automatically be put upon them. Since we elected the trustworthy slate, shouldn't we believe they have the best interest of the country and their party in mind? The Electoral College should stay as it is. This system keeps order, balances votes, and 99% of the time it works.
Sincerely,
High school student | 4 |
The author supports his theory of going to venus is a worthy pursuit by having creative ideas and sources that supply him with evidence to back up his claim.
Venus has earth like features, its extremely hot and its 97% carbon dioxide.
In the article the author claims that venus has earth-like features "Astronomers are fascinathed by venus because it my well once have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." this statment gives details on how venus my have looked like earth a long time ago.
In the article the author claims that venus is very hot "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything human encounter on earth;such an environment would crash even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals." in this statment the author gives many specific details on how venus has the hottest surface tempature than any other planet in our solar system.
In the article the author claims that venus is 97% carbon dioxide " A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of higly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere."in this statment the author explains venus's atmosphere.
in conclusion the author did a very good job explaining and education on how venus is a good planet to study despite the many dangers it has. | 2 |
Dear, state senator we should keep the Electoral College because its better and its unique. Its better because the Electoral College consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for Presdident and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors.
The Electoral College is really a progress. Its also better because you can help choose your your state's electors when you vote for President becuse when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors. They are generally chosen by the candidate's political party. Its better in alot of ways.
The Electoral College is unique in many ways. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a Compromise between election of the President by a vote for President and Vice Preident, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the preident, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. | 1 |
Have you ever heard somone talk about the "Face on Mars" in books, films, tv, or haunted grocery store checkout lines? Well, in 1976, NASA discovered what looked like an Egyptian face on Mar's suface. Many have thought of this to be the work of aleins because the pictures look like there are pyramids and shacks located in the area, but NASA has proven that to be false.
This Egyptian face was, in fact, not made by aliens like many have believed. The "Face of Mars" is actually a lava dome that formed like a butte/mesa roughly the same height as Mar's surface. A butte ot mesa is a landform that is common around the American West. "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." (p.2) Therefore the "face" we see is shadows casting over the butte/mesa shaped lava dome creating the image of a human face. "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars," says Garvin. (p.12)
In conclusion, the "Face of Mars" was not the work of aliens, but only a lava dome at the surface of the Red Planet. There are many who would still disagree, but NASA has researched and proven the "Face" was not made by aliens. | 2 |
May i just say that i love the way our we vote and how the Electoral College chooses our prseident and vice president for us. I know that we aren't actually voting for the president our electors of our states do that. They may consider our votes but in the end they decide who our state chooses for president. The canidates have to have a majority of 270 electoral votes to win the right to be president. In reality, the people should be the ones to vote for the president not the Electoral College. We should be able to decide who we want to be the president of the United States to be.
"The electoral college process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president."(source 1 paragraph 2, the office of the federal register). See we don't actually chose our president even though we should be able too. We are the people of the United States and it's a free country, we shouldn't rely on the electors for our state to chose who the president will be. We shouldn't have to worry if the Electoral College will chose the right person for our country. We should be able to make the right decision and not rely on other people to make the choice for us.
Abolishing the Electoral College is a good thing because we Americans dont deserve to come second. "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."(source 2 paragraph 10, Bradford Plumer).The electoral college could make a mistake and choose the wrong person to be our president but we Americans know whats 's best for our country, but sometimes we don't always get what we want. We don't decide who the president and that is wrong, but sometimes we have to deal with things we don't like.
Many people will argue with my decision of abolishing the Electoral College. "The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have a tran-regional appeal."( source 3 paragraph 19, Richard A. Posner). Apparently the Electoral College restores weight back in to the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment.
Yes there may be very good arguements about keeping the Electoral College but we should be able to vote for our president. We should have someone we dont even know vote for our president, we love our country and we want what's best for it. What is best for our country is allowing the people vote for the president not the Electoral College. | 2 |
Driverless cars are coming to the present day and there are many concerns as to whether they will be good for society or not. The development of driverless cars are big and it can lead to even more discoveries that can help the world we live in now. Technology is getting smarter and more efficient, therefore it is becoming more trustworthy and reliant. The handicaped will be aided in transportation from location A to location B. The roads will be a lot safer with cars that are programmed to drive on them. Also, public transportation will be more efficient. These points are why I believe driverless cars would be a grat development to society, but only if they are entirely safe.
Driverless cars would be a great aid to those who are handicapped in one way or another . For those who may have lost a leg, they dont have to worry about pressing the gas or brakes too hard or soft. If they lost an arm or two they have no need to worry about steering the car because it can drive on its own. Driverless cars would be great help in getting people from location A to location B safely.
Cars that do not require a driver will make roads a lot safer. The cars would have the ability to sense its surroundings, and it would have already been programmed to withstand driving conditions. They could reduce the use of oil if they were powered by electricity too. If it reduces the amount of oil being used then that means that they would also help the atmosphere and reduce the effects of global warming.
New developments lead to smarter technology. Smarter technology means its safer to use and it does a lot more than previous technology. Smarter technology leads to new discoveries which means better living. We'll learn more about our surroundings by improving our technology. We can also achieve greater acomplishments and improve life by creating new inventions and improving those inventions.
Driverless cars could in the end really help our society. We can develop further than what we already have. Transportation will be a lot easier. Life could become better. So if cars that were driverless were completely safe then we should work towards perfecting the\ driverless car. | 3 |
State Senator,
The Electoral College is outdated, and is commonly viewed as anachronism. In this system voters, instead of voting for a president, vote for a slate of electors. The slate of electors if chosen for the statewide election, would go to Congress. At Congress, they would then vote for the President. For many people, it seems understandably unfair.
First off, voters cannot control who their electors vote for. At this point in time, voters have no more of a say in which President is elected - they can only hope that the elected candidate shares the same views they do. Most of the times, this is the wrong case.
Second off, many times voters will get confused in who they're voting for. They'll pick out a candidate without knowing much information about them, or what their views are. A random candidate will be chosen for their vote, and most times this tends to come to an unhappy ending. Many times, voters will be disappointed and frustrated with how the election turns out.
People claim this tends to be due to the Electoral College.
It would, in terms, be much simpler to change the election to go by popular vote. This would have many benefits on the difficulty of the systems selecting a President, to how people react. By choosing a popular vote, time of the election would be cut slimmer. People wouldn't have to focus on choosing an elector, or their worries that their state electors didn't share their views. It would give our people the chance to vote for the President they want.
In the end, the Electoral College should be abolished and thrown out. It doesn't make sense to keep continuing on this way, when the votes should be up to the people - not random electors. | 3 |
Exploring Venus will be a good idea. It is the closets plant to Earth astronomers have found, even though Venus is a very challenging planet to examine because the planet is dangerous and unstable. In the article," A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere" (3). Exploring Venus might give NASA a reason to believe how the planet is so closely related to Earth. Therefore, despite the dangers Venus produces it was once just like Earth, the planet had charcteristics and life forms that are similar to Earth, now the planet still has some of those characteristics but is dangerous.
The author stated, "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary vist" (4), with all NASA's visits into space Venus would be the closet plant to Earth resoulting to where astronoauts don't have to make a long trip, but how will the get on the planet? NASA has been trying to create a safe but effective way to study the planet so they can travel on the planet safety despite the dangers it holds. NASA has been working on complicated technology and has been going back to WWll technology to help with ways to get onto the planet with out losing a person.
Finding ways to explore Venus despite its dangers may be benificial to Earth explaining what might have happened to the planet. Was it always dangerous? What if something abnormal happened to Venus resoulting in why the planet is so dangerous. Studying Venus wll open our minds and answer all our questions and putting people onto that dangerous planet might give us hope, hope that if we can study Venus then that is saying how we are evolving and that we could find a way to get onto any planet despite the challenges we might encounter. | 2 |
You get upearly on November 6, 2012 ready to vote, because every vote counts! But does it really? Instead of your vote going directly towards who you want as president, it goes towards the electoral collge and then they decide who really wins the presidency. The Electoral College ia a system where instead of the people vote for the president, a group of electors choose the next leader of the free world. I fervently believe that we should abolish the Eletoral College sytem, and change the election of popular ovte because it is an injustice, outdated, and irrational.
The Electoral College system is highly unfair. The voters wnat to elect the president that they would like, and in order to do that their vote should be significant. Although the Electoral Collge system is at times efficent, it still does not satisify the voters. The people aren't even the ones who get an actual say on who their next president will be. Even the people who are in defense of the Electoral College System agree, "It is the electors who elect the president, not the people" (15), says Richard A. Posner author of "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five Reasons to keep our despised method of choosing president." In the 2000 elections, candidate Al Gore received more individual votes than George W. Bush, and won the popular vote, but did not win the electoral college vote so he lost the presidency. If this is supposedly a "free" country with a democratic system, then shouldn't the citizens have the right to pick the individual that will be running their country for the next four years?
Some electors may not even vote with the majority. Voters can't control who their electors vote for. The electors are even sometimes picked by the presidential candidate running for office, how does it seem fair that a group of people that hold the fate of our country in their hands is chosen by soemone who would be highly affected by their decision.
It is also an injustce because of the way the votes count. If you live in a state with a higher population, your state gets more electoral votes. The amount of electors depends on the amount of senators and representatives your state has. There is one elector per representative, and two per senator. There is a total of 538 electors, and to win presidency the candidate mst have at least 270 or higher. For example sya you live in Iowa, where there are only four electors, the vote doesn't count as much as the votes in California or Florida. The system is completely outdated too. The Electoral College system has been around for hundreds of yars,a dn it is not up to date with our modern times, so it is a complete waste to use it. | 4 |
In the article "The challenge of Exploring Venus" the author suggests that studying venus is a worthy pursuit depite the danger it present by sending
poeple up into space to study venus and facing the danger and the challenges of exploring venus. In the article they have proved a very challenging place to examine venus more closely.
In the article they have sent numerous of spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. They have send alot of spacecraft and none of them survied the landing for more than a few hour. The National Aeronautics and Space Administation has one particularly complelling idea for sending humans to study venus. NASA have a possible solution to hostile conditions on the surface of venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. In the article in pargraph 5 states that " solar power would be pletiful, and radiation would not exceed earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." Scientists have a safety way for humans including the scientists to go up into venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely however, they can only provide only limited insight on ground conditon because, most form of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere.
The challenges of exploring venus is diffucult astronomers are fascinated by venus becasue it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in out solar system. Since scientist want to take humans up to space to explore venus it also be dangerous because, It cannot take anything for example they can't take rocks, gas, or anything else from a distance. Therefore, scientists are finding another way. In paragraph 3 it states " on the planet surface,
temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet". These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth. It is dangrous for humans to go up their especially, if we are not use to that type of weather.
The challanges of facing the danger to explore venus and to send human up into space is a big challage. The author have claim that it is possible to send human into space but it going to be a challange without any danger to anyone. | 2 |
You may think that the landform that resembles a human face is proof that there is alien life on Mars, but it actually does not prove anything. There are many reasons that the mesa could be there, and alien life is the least likely. Mesas are common around the area that the face was found, and recent pictures have proved that it is just a landform. Even taking the picture on a cloudless, sunny day proved nothing. It is simply a landform, and nothing more.
You might argue that it is unlikely that the landform is a mesa because it isn't natural, or that it looks unnatural. While it does look unnatrual, they are actually very common around the area that the face was found. Saying that it can't be a mesa because mesas aren't common simply isn't true. Cydonia has many mesas, the face included. There are plenty of mountains on Earth, and we all know that those aren't man-made. No one talks about one certain mountain that is man-made, while the rest aren't. Why should Mars be any different? They are all natural landforms, there isn't one that's just man made.
You may also argue that the first picture was taken on a day that was cloudy, or that the picture was unclear. You would be correct, which is why NASA went back eighteen years later and took the photo again on a cloudless, clear and sunny day. The picture was taken in summer, which is generally pretty cloudless in Mars. There was practically nothing that might obstruct the view of the "face", and what did we find? Nothing. We found a landform, just like we had found eighteen years earlier. There was nothing to obstruct the view. That means that when we did look and find nothing, that there was nothing there.
You still might not be convinced. You might say that we simply weren't close enough to find any strange alien markings, or that camera's quality wasn't good enough to see any of the strange alien markings, but that would also be correct. We took a picture of the mysterious "face" three times. Once in 1976, once in 1998, and finaly in 2001. Each time the picture was taken, the camera's quality was better. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to the 43 meters in the 1976 photo. With the image being that detailed, we would have been able to spot things as small as shacks next to the mysterious "face". We didn't, however. We found nothing except for the landmark, which proves that it is nothing more than an unusual landmark.
In conclusion, there is countless proof that the "face" on Mars is nothing more than an unusal mesa. Mesas are common in Cydonia, which is where the landmark was spotted. We have taken three photos, the quality better with each, and each time nothing other than the landmark was spotted. We even went back to take the photo on a cloudless, clear and sunny day with our best camera yet, and we still found nothing. That is all the proof that I need, and it's all the proof you need. There is nothing on Mars other than an unusual landmark, that happens to look like a face. | 4 |
Dear state senator,
It is the utmost respect that I ask for the method for presidental election be changed from the electoral college to something more suitable for the opinion of the people. The electoral college is an unfair system to the people, it can allow for individuals to decide what to do with the votes, not by the people of the United States of America.
Revising the electoral college system may seem like a bad idea but the good that could come of it overlies the bad. If the election of a president was based directly by the voters , then candidates could promise money to the people who vote for him/her. There could also be other propblems with direct democracy such as what would happen in the chance of a tie? Who would break the tie? And how would it be decided fairly. The electoral college shouldn't be removed, but should definitely be revised.
The electoral college permits the power of the electoral votes to go to whoever the choose. The electoral college is unfair to voters due to the winner-take-all system, whichh causes candidates to focus only on states the are "swing" states. In the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see candidates at all. The electoral college is an out-of-date system and either needs to be replaced or revised.
When running for president, the candidate has a group of electors. With each candidate habving their own group of electors, it provides without having to visit each state to nget their vote. The only thing the president is required to do is to wait. In reality, the preisdent doesn't even need to campaign, since the electors in the college votes are what matter. So, the candidate could just bribe the electors for certain states and he/she has that states' vote.
The voters do not vote for the candidates, but vote for the slate of electors. The electors are picked at state conventions, the state party's central comittee and sometime the presidential candidates themselves. The biggest issue with the electoral college is the disaster factor. The diaster factor are the potental problems with the system, such as back in 1960 when segregationists in louisiana legisllayture nearly succeeded in replacing the democratic electors with new electors who opposed John F. Kennedy.
The electoral college is an outdated way of elections. The electoral college puts the power into indivduals' hands not the people. It was created back before the eduaction was nothing close to what it is now. Therefore, the method of voting on representitives who then vote for the presdient is obsolete. | 3 |
I am both against and for this new techonology device. It has both good and bad things to it and I will explain both why I think its a good idea and why I think its a bad idea, Here is why I think its a good idea. It can be a good idea for the guidance office of a school if a student is there for help. They can tell if the student is happy, sad, angry, or disgusted. It can help them understand what kind of emotions that practicular student is feeling, It also can be good with the example the author provided where if you smile on your computer a web ad appears but if you frown the next ad will be different. These examples are great ideas of why this technology device can be a great and helpful device.
This technology device could also be a bad idea and here is why, The device could be used on a student that doesn't really feel comfortable about giving their emotions to another person. If students have so much freedom with this device to read anyones emotions it could result in someone getting uncomfortable. Not everyone is going to want their emotions to be exposed. So if you give this device to some people they could easily humilate someone by exposing their emotions at the wrong time. For example, it could go wrong if a boyfriend was to use it on his girlfriend without the girlfriends permission and could ruin their relationship just like that.
In conclusion to these arguments supporting the technology and going against it. The device should be used in hands that are supposed to have it. Someone who has experience with the device and not anyone who is new. Someone who is mature enough to use it with polite manners, Not someone who is going to use it on each and every person they see. But use it with permission and not without someones consent. | 2 |
This article
is talking about
Venus where the author suggests that studying this planet is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. In this article you can see the description
of Venus , its has a nickname
called the "Evening Star" ,
is a place to examine more closely , which is a vantage for the scientists.We have numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a
challenging planet
for human to study .But its a planet with
diferents things that make it
a planet diferent to our planet , but interesting .
A point that the author used to support
the idea to study Venus was that Venus is closest planet to Earth, and has similar things as the author said " Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and
occasionally the closest in distance
too. "
But its has diferences
like the temperature , in Venus is 90 times greater than our planet and the author said " These conditions
see more far extreme than anything humans encounter onEarth."
The author
make a questiosn
himself that says " if our sister planet is so inhospitable , why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface ?", so what that's mean ,its mean that the Venus planet it's not a good place where humans can be survive
about the temperature and the health in this planet .But Venus was probably covered largely with oceans
as the Earth .
We have the NASA's ideas about sending humans to study Venus ."NASA's possible solutions
to the hostile conditions on the surfac of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray ."
they said too
that the solar power
would be pentiful and radiation
would
not exceed erath levels , not easy conditions , but survivable for human . NASA work on approaches to study Venus
like electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulation the chaos Venus's surface .
In conclusion Venus a planet interest to the scientists , beacuse Venus has many similituds and diferences about the temperature , few life and others
and with the NASA's ideas its most interesting . this challenge to study Venus has value , not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet
itself , but also beacuse human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors , thats mean it can be a good work and study for humans in
our planet , because Venus is a interesting place
that make us imagination and importance for more imformation . | 2 |
I stand behind the development of driveless cars. I think they could be a great improvement to transportation and commute.
As Google cofounder Sergey Brin envisions in the article, there could be a public transportation system composed of driveless taxis that I think would be greatly beneficial as transportation. They would conserve fuel, which is good for the environment, and offer more flexibility for people who need to commute. Plus, if this system is made true as a public transportation system, it might reduce spending for people who use it and normally might spend more paying for fuel for their car, and/or car maintenance. People spend a lot on making sure their cars are working fine; with driveless taxis as a mode of transportation, you wouldn't have to worry about mechanic and/or fuel costs. A driveless taxi system could be dependable enought that you wouldn't even have to learn to drive or get a car, which could save you not only the cost of a car, but also time.
Driveless cars could also reduce accidents. Currently, they're only programmed mainly to assist, and do basic driving, letting a human cut in when there are road or traffic issues and accidents. But, if one day, driveless cars were to be the main mode of transportation, and there were enough of them in circulation within an area, they could reduce accidents in that area with their smart-driving programming. Just assisting, as they mainly do now, is still a great improvement
- they're programmed to drive safely and smartly, and likely would not be the cause or part of an accident. Current traffic laws assume that the only safe cars have human drivers, but I think driveless cars could be entrusted with keeping safety standards for these reasons. After all, it's humans that cause accidents - I don't think driveless cars could be programmed to be so reckless.
Driveless cars are a great innovation. They would be useful and beneficial to so many people, and could reduce many risks that are issues with human driving today. | 2 |
The author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. Sergey Brin envisions a future with a pulbic transportation system where fleets of driverless cars form a public-transport taxi system. Television and movies have been fascinated with cars that could drive by themselves. Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions. I would be against the development of driverless cars because it would be expensive, would need more improve technology, and would need to make new laws for driverless cars.
Driverless cars can drive by themselves without a driver. It would fundamentally change the world. You can travel without handling the wheel at all.There are alot of technology that will help the car be driverless. In movies the criverless cars have been driven more than half a million miles without crashing. The founder of the Google Car project believes that the technology can make driverless taxi cabss to take them whereever they desire.
It would be to expensive to make the driverless cars come true. With the technology on the car, it would have cost a lot of money. The radar for the cars cost two hundred million dollars if theer are no sensors, no computers, and no mapping. There are sensors that helps control the car. The combination of all the sensors would be necessary fro the driverless car to mimic the skills of a human at the wheel. It would be expensive because of all the technology that the driverless cars needs for it to drive on its own.
It would need more improve technology to function the driverless car. Google's modifed Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor to mimic a human at the wheel. You could build smart-roads systems, but they will require massive upgrades to the existing roads. Automakers used speed sensors at the wheel in the creation of the antilock brakes. It would take that much technology to make the driverless car to work.
It would need new laws to keep the driver safe. The lawmakers would try to make laws that are safe for for drivers, passengers, and pedestrains safe. The lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alerted drivers. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in conmtrol at all times. Most states say it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars. If the traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liabiblity in case of an accident.
In conclusion, driverless cars are not safe to drive and risk the driver in danger.It takes lots of technology to control a driverless car.I do not agree with driverless cars because they are expensive, they would need more improve technology, and they would need to make more laws that would make the citizens safe. Some people said that it is possible to make driverless cars in hte future. I think that if we made driverless cars, we would not be sure that everyone will be safe. | 3 |
Driverless cars are about to be the future. Google cofounder, Sergey Brin, has a dreams of a future with public transportation system where driverless cars form a public-transport taxi system. In my opinion, driverless cars are going to be brilliant. I believe just like Sergey that driverless cars can change the world. And google is making sure it is all safe.
The cars that Sergey imagines would use half the fuel of today's taxis. That is absolutly great way to save money on gas. The driverless cars would offer way more flexibility than any bus.
Google has already had cars that could drive independently since 2009. Those cars have passed many tests for saftey. The cars have also driven more than half a million miles without crashing. Google's cars still alert the driver to take over when pulling in or out of a driveway, and dealing with complicated traffic. For example passing an accident or going through roadwork.
To improve these smart cars they needed a whole lot of senors. The car google modified was a Toyota Prius. Google put postion-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor. The most important piece google put on the car was the spinning sensor on the roof. The spinning sensor on the roof uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the cars surrondings. All these senors google is using is necessary for the driverless car to mimic a human and the wheel.
Sensors were invented in the 1980's. Sensors have improved so much they can detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers. Sensors can get information too cause the car to apply braked on individual wheels. Sensors can also reduce the power from the engine, which is far more that was a human can do from the wheel. Even with all the things sensors can do they still will keep improving.
In 2013, BMW developed the "Traffic Jam Assistant". The car will be able to handle speeds up tp 25 mile per hour, but the senors from "Traffic Jam Assistant" will make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. The car can steer, brake, and accelerate themselves. But are designed to notify the drive when the road ahead requires human skills. For example going through a work zone or arounf accidents. The human must stay alert and be ready to take over when needed. GM has also developed the driver seat to viberate when they are in danger. Other options they have is flashing lights on the windsheild. Manufacturers are also considering using cameras to watch the drivers remaining focused on the road.
Google is making sure all the driverless cars will be on the safe side. I believe driverless cars will change the world. In my opinion driverless cars need to be created for the future. If all the tests goes right there should be no problem. Sergey Brin has a dream for public transportation to be better. Driverless cars are about to be the future. | 3 |
some of the advantages we get from limiting the uses of cars are, we make cities denser, and safer and better to walk. Without cars people could walk the streets and not have to worry about someone running into them, or they wouldnt have to pay attetion to their kids as much as we do today. if we didnt use cars today, we would have less drinking and driving accidents cause if u didnt have a vehicle u wouldnt be able to drive drunk. in the passage heidrun walter said they were happier without a vehicle when they had a vehicle they were always tense 70 percent of vaubans families do not owncars and 57 percent sold there vehicles so they could move.
cars today have mufflers that blow out smoke to pullute the air paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. if u drove any vehicle in paris the officers would stop u and u would get a fine for 31 dollars. almost 4,000 drivers were fined. 27 people had there vehicles impounded just because of there reaction the fine that they were given. congestion was down to 60 percent in france they had to suffer 5 days of smog china and beijing was the number one polluted cities in the world. deisel was the blame for 67 percent of pollution in france.
paris has more smog than other cities paris had 147 micrograms of particulte matter per cubic meter compared to 114 in brussels and 79 in london. on the third straight year that cars have been banned with only buses and taxis for 7 million people. the goal was to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. if u didnt obey the rules violators were faced with a 25 dollar fine. soon california and valledupar joined te no car event. when othe countries came to see about the event tey were enthusiastic these people are generating a revolutionary chang and this is crossing borders said enrique riera.
ameria has been apidly dropping the rat of driving the united states peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily in 2013 the number of miles driven per person was 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in january in 1995. since transportation is the second largest source of americas emissions just behind the power plants. but it could have negative implications for the car industry. companys like ford and mercedes are already rebranding themselves mobility companies with a brader product range eond the personal vehicle.
new york has a ike sharing program and it is skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorities as do a proliferation of car sharing programs across the nation. a stud show that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. | 2 |
I really think that driverless cars are a good idea and a bad one I think many accedints would happen with driverless cars because humans wouldn't have control over the cars.
Im against driverless cars although its a very cool idea. I wouldn't mind driverless cars because of the fact of how cool it would be to have a car that drives on its own in the future. Im against it because I think it would cause many accedents. People would get injured. Google says that there driverless cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash. This is a good thing that they have driven this much without getting into a crash but i would still need more information to convince me that this car is safe.
I would personally prefer the old steering wheel because i would like to have full control and because I dont know if i could trust a car that drives on its own. I think many of the laws would have to be strict. If the driverless car who would be responsible the car manufacturer or the person in the car.
This driverless car in the future should not be allowed in my opinion its just not safe to have them around because no one is in control of the car. So i would not buy this car i would stick to the steering wheel where i will have control of me vehicle. | 1 |
I believe that driverless cars could become a normal thing within the next 10 to 15 years. Before 2000 this was just a dream. Now it is becoming a reality. As stated in the article, the sensors, computer technology, and the mapping was not available before 2000.
There is an up side and down side to driverless cars. There is quite a few up sides to them, and not as many downfalls. The Google Car has drove over a half of a million miles without a crash. These cars are not completely driverless which kind of defeats the purpose of having a driverless car. And honestly I myself would not drive one of these cars because I enjoy driving.
The legal side of driverless cars is going to be the hard part. The companies that make the cars would have to pay millions of dollars to people who got injured because of electronic malfunctions. On the flip side of things, they would make millions off of these cars. The laws on who could have these cars and where they can be driven is going to be a tough discussion as well. BMW claims their car can drive its self up to 25 mph, but I feel like there would be a lot of testing and using of the car before changing these laws. | 1 |
Dear state senator i am writing to you because i would like to try a different way to select the president by using the popular. most states have a "winner-take-all" that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. the electoral college is just a process where election of the president by vote in congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. the electoral college process consists of the selction of the electors the meetin of the electors where tey vote for president and vice president and the counting of the electoral votes by congress.
when using the electoral college system to vote you voters vote not for president,but for a slate of electors who in turn elect the president. the single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor, the american people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century ; the system allows for much worse. at the most basic level the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state. the electoral college is unfair,outdated, and irrational. the most basic arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. and the arguments agianst direct elections are spurious at best. its hard to say this but bob dole was right :abolish the electoral college!
The electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism, | 1 |
One hundred years ago inovators wouldn't have dreamed of inventing driverless cars. The very thought of an automobile being able to drive itself would have been a feet only the gods could do. In the twentieth century, though, technology has advanced more and more each day and that includes this mind boggling idea. Many would say that driverless cars are unsafe and would needlessly use up time and energy but the truth of the matter is, driverless cars are our doorway to another world of inventions that could not only benefit our daily lives but save others as well.
Inovators around the globe agree that self-driving cars are, at least, a great accomplishment for humanity. Until 2009 cars, such as these, did not even exist; because of the brillant minds of many amazing inovators, we can now say that humans are one step closer to a new type of world that doesn't have to involve death because of irresponsible and reckless drivers. In the passage "Driverless Car are Coming" the author even states that "The in-car system is actually a safety feature, and safety is a big concern." Of course the author is right, but what about all the sensors cars like these would come equipped with? Many say that these cars would lead to disaster and countless car accidents but, in fact, these cars are safer than any other we have seen before.
Although we are not quite ready for driverless cars to be driven around town, inventions, such as these, are what make our civilization so unique. Self-driving cars are not only impressive because of how complicated they are, but the idea that someone could have to think that these cars could be made possible. Driverles cars are safe and might include back-up options in case something goes wrong and the driver needs to steer. Law-makers feel these automobiles cannot be safely driven around other individuals but they have obviously not looked into how able these cars actually are. These cars are what gives us a chance at other inventions that we cannot even fathom down the road. These automobiles are what will insure that our futures may be just a bit brighter because of these self-abled cars. | 2 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus"the author persents the topic on how the study of Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it persents.
There are lots of thing to be leared about Venus so many things to elopre and discover. But there are aloso losts of dangers as well. For examlpe in the text it raeds,"Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any of the planets in our solar system", high heats in extermily dagerous thats one of the aine reasons Venus is hard to explore and have so many dificultys trying to learn more bout the plant its self. Another example as to why the study of Venus is difficault is its living coditions for examle in the text it states,"a thick atmosphereof almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blnkets Venus"this making it hard to even try to have a living thing on Venus. another exaple is in the text it states,"Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfric acid in Venus's atomophere"this adding on the the reasons as to why its difficult to even get close to evaluate data.
All though there are many more reasons and exaples on to why Venu is a worthy peruit despite the dangers it presents these are a few of the exampls and resons. | 1 |
Driverless cars are another one of the world's technological marvels, that not only take away the prevalent nuisance of driving for long periods of time, but in terms of safety and efficiency, prevail. When flexibility increases, prices decrease, and the safety of consumers is protected, then there is no reason that semi-autonomous cars should not replace the commercial vehicles that we see today.
One of the key issues that consumers have today in terms of purchasing a vehicle is the fuel consumption. Sergey Brin, the cofounder of Google, provides evidence that suggests that these vehichles would use around half of the fuel that the vehicles today consume. Not only that, but Brin continues to state that the flexibility is increased as well, surpassing that of a bus.
Safety is also increased as a result of these vehicles. The fact that these vehicles are semi-autonomous and not completely autonomous enables a human driver to take control whenever they deem it necessary to do so. For example, Google's semi-autonomous creations are "not truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways and when other complicated traffic issues arise."
Sensors are what enable these vehicles to perform the tasks that astonish many to this day. Due to the fact that sensors have been used since the 1980s, vast improvements and tests have been conducted over the years to ensure that the safety of the consumer and those around he/she are preserved. The article even states that "Within 10 years, those sensors [from the 1980s] had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers." These vehicles allow for the potential decrease in drunk driving, which further emphasizes that safety is not only preserved with semi-autonomous cars, but is heavily increased.
There is a common misconception that by implementing the production of these vehicles, drivers will "get bored of waiting for their turn to drive." Although this is an issue that many psychologists are considering, some manufacturers are working to eliminate this issue. For example, the article suggests that there are a few car manufacturers that are hoping to rid of this anxiety by bringing in-car diplays and information systems that use heads-up displays. Not only is it a source of entertainment, but also an additional safety feature, which is also a major concern that is alleviated with semi-autonomous cars.
The fact that so many automobile companies, such as Tesla, BMW, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, are striving to integrate the idea of semi-autonomous vehicles into their production vehicles, provides even further assurance that the benefits undoubtedly outweigh the harms. Furthermore, this article explicitly states that, as a nation based on progression and safety, semi-autonomous vehicles are the means of achieving the road to a truly autonomous car, and a road to a dramatic increase in safety. | 3 |
Vauban, Germany, the motorless city. Vauban is an upscale community, yet they have one difference than any other, they have given up cars. When you visit this motorless city, you don't see driveways, garages or any other home accessory that invloves parking, or storing your car. When you think of a city like this, you think that there is no way a town can survive without automobile transportation, well, you thought wrong. Unlike most towns, Vauban has located all the necessary stores and shops on a main street, where it is easily found and just a walk away.
Vauban is also a happier place, as suggested by Heidrun Walter, mother of two and media trainer. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." When she walks the street she sees young children playing and chatting and people riding their bicycles, but best of all, she doesn't hear that awful noise of a running motor.
Automobiles are a detriment to the ecosystem. "Automobiles are the linchpin of suburbs, where middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tend to make their homes. And that, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gass emissions from tailpipes..." Did you know that passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. And, up to 50% in some car-intensive areas in the United States.
Back to Vauban, the home of 5,500 residents within a rectangular square mile. This town may be the most advanced experiment in low-car suburban lifestyle. "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change," said David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America. This group promotes new communities that are less dependent on cars.
In the United States, "car-reduced" communities are being promotedby thr Enviornmental Protection Agency, and legislators are beginning to act, if cautiously. "Many experts expect public transport serving suburbs to play a much larger role in a new 6-year federal transportation bill to be approved this year," Mr. Goldberg has said. | 2 |
The develompement of smart cars can have many plus but also plenty of negatives , for example the rate of car recks could very well go up. The cars cant full handle not having a driver. That could lead to problems not only for the driver of the driverless car but also, for the manufacturer. Also, on another hand Driverless cars could help save alot of time and money for many citizens.
Since therer cant be an option of smarter roads there have be opurtunies to develop smarter cars. There's cars that can park themselves, and other aspects known as cruise control. Still cars cant driover thru construction zones and car recks, not being able to do these task and drive up to one of these two incedints could throw the car out of whack and something mofunction and causes a wreck could be very dangerous. There has been upgrades that help gets the drivers attention when apporaching these incedents. With these cars will be new laws some benifit these driverless cars others help protect. What if theres an accident of the technology fails, who is to be blame for this the driver or the manufacturer.
Even with driverless cars there is still some of the same acciodent to think about as if you had a regular car. Prices on the cars would probably go up. Even if who have an accident who is to blame. You forbuying a driverless car of the manufacturer. | 1 |
Dear State Senator,
I understand there has been some contreversy between keeping or changing the Electoral College by popular vote for the president of the United States, But We need to Keep the Electoral College, and these are the reasons why.
First things first, the Electoral College is a process,not a place. Also it consists of 538 electors but a majority of electoral votes needs to be 270 votes in order to elect a president. So each Canident has a 50/50 chance of winning or losing. The elctors are chosen by the political parties, which i can see how people would have a problem with that,but if they dodnt choose the canadents for us we probably would even know which person to elect as a canadent.
The presidental election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, giving the citizens more than enough time to decide if they are happy with the president they have or if they should elect a new one, usually there happy with the president they elected which means that the Electoral College process is working.
Although the electorla college system is for the voters to vote for a slate of electors to elect the president the citizens still get a say in the election towards there president of choice. if the citizens could just elect a president from there personal votes then they would probably make the wrong decsion on who to choose, they might be fooled by the flashy ads on tv promising change when in reality, there promises are lies. Thats why having a slate of electors help to vote for a president if so important because they know how to point out there lies and know what there true intentions are.
Some say that the Electoral College system is 'Unfair' to the people but i strongly disagree. Infact, the Electoral College helper the people choose the right president for our country | 2 |
The face of mars has been intresting photo taken in the 1976 times. This specific picture has been causing a stir amoungst theorists and people for over 20 years. It seemed as though the face was to ressemble a human face. NASA has thought this could mean alien life on mars.
The picture taken in 1976 caused the stir in social networking. It was taken in low resolution but at the same time it was a high resolution in it's time of the late 1900's. The reason why this was so intresting to the people, was that you wouldn't see a face on a natural structure. However, some people thought it was just some structure that was natural in its own shape or form comparing it to other natural structures we have on our planet.
The spacecrafts returned back and returned with the photos taken on mars. It seemed now that NASA wanted to take priority of going to Cydonia which was another red planet far away. This was because they had observed the face theorizing that it was facing directly toward this red planet. When the news stirred, NASA had needed to come back to mars to take a better glimpse of the photo 20 years later with a better camera. It seemed when they had come back to mars that the face was no longer alien but some kind of volcanic crator. Some believe that it was just a natural structure that was made in some way or form and others still believed that this was still alien.
Theorists believed multiple reasonings as to why | 1 |
Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.
Dear state senator we should get rid of the Electoral College for many reasons.
One reason is that small states do not get any attention from the upcoming presidents because their electoral votes for the small states are to small like Alaska only has 3 electoral votes unlike California which has 55 electoral votes so the upcoming presidents can just not even think about the small states and go for bigger states like Florida, Texas, and California.
People say "The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational" and Bob Dole said "Abolish the electoral college." Many things can go wrong in the electoral college like their can be a tie in the sytem where is would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president.
Another reason is what some people call the disaster factor, consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. who would vote for some one to not listen to them and do what they want? then the electoral college is useless in the sense of voting for who you want.
people say that the electoral college avoids run-off elections, however the electoral college is unfair to voters, because of the winner-take-all system in each state. | 2 |
Say No to Driverless Cars
More than 50% of the population in the United States say yes to driverless cars. They want the future to come for them, without even thinking about the effects these cars can leave for them in the future. Driverless cars are a "cool" concept that movies introduced to us many years ago, leaving people wandering if it could really happen one day. Now that there is a possiblity that these cars could actually happen, these people are going crazy and supporting this idea. Supporting the development of driverless cars should not happen because of the dangers that can some with them if they were to malfunction, leaving a bigger disaster for us than what we started with.
In the article, it states that driverless cars now, can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves but they are designed to notify the driver when it requires human assistance. All cars need human assistance instead of a computer telling it what to do, otherwise it will not be as safe. A person always needs to have eyes on the road, especially if a computer is the one driving because there are possibilities that something could go wrong. Computers do not compare to the human brain, for example there are instances where a person needs to decide what is best to be safe in the road. A computer will not be able to do that because they are programmed and do not have a sense of feeling or emotions.
If there are laws that make even testing computer-driven cars illegal, that states that maybe the whole development of these cars is not a good idea. Laws are there for a reason, and that is to keep the drivers, passangers, and pedestrians safe. Even though there are a few states like California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia, that approve the use of semi-autonomous cars, it is only a matter of time before a disaster happens. With computer driven cars, there is no garantee that the people will be safe. Because there is no safe way to know if driverless cars are a good and safe idea, it is better if they are just not produced at all.
The number of technological parts that is used in the Toyota Prius is astonishing! It uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor. All of these sensors and parts must be extremely expensive to make and include in the car. Billions and billions of dollars would go into making this possiblitly real. That is not even including the specially designed roads that are going to be needed in order for the driverless cars to even work. The amount of money needed in order to produce these cars is extremely high, and if it will cost a lot to make, the amount of money needed to buy these cars will surely be the same.
Safety should be every drivers first priority. These cars will not provide much safety for anyone on the road. Driverless cars are not even important or necessary, because us humans can drive just fine and not worry about being safe. Peope are just becoming lazier as years go buy and if this continues, before we know it we will be in a bigger problem than what we began with. Driverless cars sound amazingly cool and futuristic, but they are just not safe and should not be developed because of the endless possiblites that could go wrong. | 4 |
The reasons you should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program is because you see unique places, travel and lots there are lots of oppertunities. You can have lots of fun in this program. It almost becomes like its not a job because there are so many things you can enjoy.
In this program you get to see so many unique and beautiful places. I got to see the Acropolis in Greece which was very special. I also got to see a couple more which are, Panama Canal in china, and a excavated castle in Crete. I think anybody would want to see those places. As you see these you will never forget and make great memories like I did.
Also in this program you get to travel to so many marvoules places. I got to go across the Atlantic Ocean 16 times! Thats crazy! I also went across the Pacific Ocean twice. I also got to go to some different countrys. Right before I turned Eight teen I went to Greece. I also got to see Europe and China. Guess what, I went to even more places! I got to go to Venice, Italy and Crete to. This is a great program for you if you like traveling.
Finally there are so many oppertunities in the Seagoing Cowboys program. You get to see so many places, and see things so many things, and do things you never thought you would as a little kid. It could also change how you act and show respect. After you go through this progam you will be a totally different person. In a good way. It can show you how to be respectful, and whatever else you need.
In conclusion chose the Seagoing Cowboys program. You get to see things you never thought of seeing. You also get to travel all over the world. Don't forget all the oppertunities this program can offer. Come to this program if you want to help our world. Chose Seagoing Cowboys. | 2 |
Sometimes you don't need a car to go some place, you have choices like take the bus, or use your bike, but sometimes you need a car to go some place far away. I will discuss about the advantages of limiting car usage. I feel that the cars are important but we can live without the because we have others sources to transportated and don't expent to much money.
First of all, commercial and public transportation are woven through a connection of network to save time, to conserve resources, lower emissions and to improve safety. Theres a lot of accidents that people commit because a car, sometimes they are tired and don't pay attention to the road, they get distracted by something, and sometimes theres no parking lad for a car. A car is a responsability. When you have a car you can get tense because, you have to expent you money filling the tank of gas, and repair something if is broken, but sometimes you don't have the money for do that and you take the bus or the subway because is less expensive. People have their cars impounded fot their reaction to the fine, cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. Pleople sometimes said that they can't live without a car, if you get to think, they're sometime wrong because there's many public transportations.
In Adittion, if people don't have a car it would be a impact to pleople because everybody would be on the streets, and everything would be full of people, but without a car we can get to safe more the atmosphere. Sometimes we have car-free days to save the environment of our world, it's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution and the turnout was large. The day without cars is part of an improvement campaing. parks and sports centers also have bloomed thoughout the city, pitted sidewalks have beed replaced bye broas, smooth sidewalks, arush-hour restrctions have dramatically cut traffic, and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up. The united states, with its broad expanses and suburban ideals, had long been one of the world's prime car culture. With all these canges, people who stopped car commuting as a result of the recessin may find less reasons to resume the habit.
In Conclusion, have a car it's a responsability that people have to have, we don't need a car sometimes, but sometimes we do. I feel that the cars are importants, its fine that we get to save the environment but without a car we don't get to go to place we want to go everytime we want. | 3 |
