In The Challenge of Exploring Venus the pursuit despite the danger the author include that thar are almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide is on venus and the temperes average over 800 dergrees fahrenheit. NASA is telling us like how it not liveabul on venus. venus has the hottest suface temperature of any plantet in our solar system. NASA has been sening thing to Venus but the hostile conditions on the surface of venus is bad so NASA idea for sending thing to venus is having vehicl hovering 30 or so mile above the roiling landscape. having vehicl hovering over the landscape of venus.
The text also state even a vehicl will have so much time to hovering over venus because the light can't penetrate the dense atmosphere. More importantly resher can't take anything because it is dense atmosphere. Fot them to seeking any info thay would have to get up close and personal despite the risks. Having knowledge fo venus meney researcher are working on some simplifed electronice.
The National Aeronautis and space Administration have a idea for sending humans with haveing bad condush. At Venus temperatures would be around 170 degrees fahrenheit. Stat frome the text researchers are working on innvations that would alloe our mechines to last longer enought to contribute meningfully to our knowedge of Venus. NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. | 0 |
Throughout the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author gives background information on Venus and the many dangers of travelling to the planet for exploration. While the author explains the dangers very well, he does not thoroughly explain why scientists should travel there despite all of the risks.
In the article, the author explains the many assorted dangers of travelling to Venus. He states that everything from the "thick atmosphere" of carbon dioxide to the "clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid" make it difficult to even get into the planet's atmosphere. Once scientists finally are able to get down to the surface, where the most important research can be done, they are faced with average temperatures "over 800 degrees Fahrenheit" and an "atmospheric pressure 90 times greater" than what it is here on Earth. These conditions severely limit the possibilities for any kind of exploration because most materials, which would be used for ships and measuring instruments, wouldn't make it through the atmosphere, let alone to the surface where they'd likely be crushed or melted.
Despite the terrible conditions, the author says "the value of returning to Venus seems indisputable," but does not thoroughly support this point. The main point he gives toward the reasoning for why scientists should continue to strive for the exploration of Venus is that "it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet," and because of this there is a need to try and discover what casued it to change into the terribly dangerous planet it is now. While it may be very important to discover why Venus has become the way it is now, this reasoning does not very well support the dangers that are currently faced with our modern trechnologies. He also says that we should not only explore because of the "insight to be gained," but also because the nature of human curiosity will likely lead to even more chalenging endeavors in the future. While it is very possible, and most likely, for there to be even more challenging endeavors forthe human race to find and crave to explore, one cannot simply say that the reasons we should send scientists to another planet, until there has been safe equipment made, are for exploration and the likelihood of future missions.
Human curiosity has casued many dangerous missions to be taken before, Magellan's circumnavigation, Louis and Clark's cross-country expedition, and even the first trip to the moon; each trip had its own dangers and as many of them were addressed as possible, but that does not mean scientists should throw astronauts into space to a dangerous planet without ensuring they have the safest possible trip, and currently that is simply not possible. The author does try to explain that exploration, despite all of the possible dangers, is important but only provides one valid argument for this, that it is necessary, which quite frankly is simply not enough. | 3 |
First announced in 2009, as the article stated "google has had cars that could drive independently under sprcific conditions. Many car factories to make this dream come true. Many used different methods. General motors from the article that create a test track for a car to run on. the track uses an electric cable and send radio signals. The track is way too expensice to make.
Fot that, manufacturers turned to smart cars. Its need a lot of sensor to GPS to mak it work. Sebastian Thrun, formal of google car project, believe that the technology has finally begun to catch up to the dream in the articl driceless car are coming. In 2013, BMW announce the creation of a smart car that can go up to 25mhp. So far, non of the cars devekoped so far are completly driver less. Dr.Werner Huber a BMW project manager driver stated "won't driver get bored waiting for their turn to drive.
Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrian safe. These safery are best achieved my alart drivers. In most states, it is illegal even to test computer-drivven cars. if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer, stated the article.tesla has a project that will be released soon. A can that can drive auto 90% of the time.Nissan plan to have a cars that can drive themselves by 2020. The road to driverless is near and we are getting sloser to it every day. | 0 |
Dear Senator,
We should abolish the electoral college. It nakes voting unfair and is dangerous to the American society. It corrupts the soul of all Americans and makes people unhappy. If we want our society to live, we should end the electoral college.
The electoral college is extremely biased on the canditates and the voters have only a miniscule chance to elect the right voter. The chance is so miniscule that even an atom couldn't fit through it. On the counterclaim that it could be a tie, which has a higher percentage rate to tie, all of America, or 0.00000001% of the population of America? The canditates dont even focus on the states that aren't swing states, such as Wyoming or Alaska. If a president is from California, he/she already has 20% of the vote in his/her pocket. To make things worse, half of the states are not even into the campaign, voting canditates "they" think is best, not voting the canditates their state thinks is best.
To top it off, people are just so wooed by the canditate's ad, or their wealth, or their eyes, that they don't stop to think what the canditate could do for them. Just two years ago, I found myself talking to a women who needed Obamacare for her ill son, yet she was going to vote for Romney. People are just too dazzled by how things may seem, when it's just a huge marketing scam.
A large state gets more attention than a smaller state does... Is that what we really want in our country? After all these years of black equality and women's rights, we have decided to just completely ruin our entire form of government by being prejuice to other states. Yes, they may have a lesser population, but that doesn't mean anything. It just means that we are not giving people the right of suffrage.
Apparently, the electoral college elects a "clear winner", when the popular vote coiuld do that just fine on its own. Why do you think we have voting day for? I'm sure its so that the president that they didn't vote for was chosen by the elctoral college. Here's some logic, lets choose a selected number of people to vote for president instead of all of America. Isn't that a great idea.
"Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election...." Really, is that why people vote? So you are saying that people vote just because they prefer, or like, the person other another candidate. So going back to my earlier point, people are just so amazed at their "something", that they just decide to take the effort to vote for them. No, people, that's not why, it's because they think they can make a change in the everyday world.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's all a game of cruel manipulation, Republicans manipulating the government so they get less taxes, Democrats manipulating the government to achieve free healthcare. It's a dangerous game, but the puppeteer who pulls the strings better than the last is the one who always wins. | 3 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author argues the point that exploring Venus is worth the effort and risks exhibited. The author claims that, despite the harsh conditions and deadly atmosphere, this planet is worth travelling to and observing, due to its being the "nearest option for a planetary visit". While the author does list a few good reasons for Venus exploration, it is my belief that they also include many reasons not to explore this dangerous planet. This inclusion of the "cons" of exploration hurts the thesis more than it helps it, and damages the authors argument.
From the beginning of their argument, the author states that "no spacecraft survived the landing [on Venus] for more than a few hours" and that "not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades". The usage of these statements creates a negative image, which can lead readers to believe that the exploration of Venus is too dangerous to enagage in. Furthermore, the author uses facts intended to continue to convince readers that Venus is dangerous, when this is exactly the opposite of what the author is arguing for. Making statements which invoke fear or apprehension only pushes the reader away from the topic, instead of influencing him or her to gain interest in it. For instance, when the author uses phrases with negative connotations, such as "thick atmosphere", "corosive sulfuric acid", "800 degrees Fahrenheit", and "extreme", they influence readers negatively as well.
Similarly, the author provides little reasoning behind the belief that humanity should explore the planet Venus. Despite claiming that "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit", there is little evidence given that exploring and observing Venus would be of much benefit. In fact, the author seems to have found more evidence against Venus exploration, as the prior paragraph (which listed reasons that Venus was dangerous) was much more explicit and detailed than paragraph 3. The negatives of exploring Venus (such as death and wasted money or time) seem to far outweigh the positives.
As the author continues with their argument, readers become increasingly aware that Venus is likely not as beneficial as the author intends to make it seem. With an unlivable biome and dangerous atmospheric conditions, Venus is likely far too hazardous to explore at this time in history, and I believe that the author of this article unwittingly proved so. For these reasons, I believe that the author of this article failed to support their thesis with thorough evidence or detail. | 4 |
Venus and Earth are very similiar and somtimes Venus is just right around the corner from Earth. The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" supports the idea of studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because he provides sufficient evidence.
Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because of the similarities with Earth. The Author explains that "Today, Venus still some features that are analogous to those on Earth" (4). Analogous means the outside has changed but the inside or function are similiar to that pf something else. If Venus still has valleys and mountains similiar to the of Earth then if we studied those features we could find out what happened to Venus decades ago. The Author also states, "Venus can somtimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit" (4). Launching space crafts to other planets is very expensive and even more so for a planet light year away, but if we can send space crafts to Venus when it is closest to us then it will Americans hundreds in tax dollars and we will learn a great deal from Venus.
In conclusion, Venus is worthy to be explored because there is so much we do not know about it yet and we could find something on that planet that we mever thought exsisted before. | 2 |
The Face on Mars is not a legitimate face or a creation of aliens. Conspiracy theorists seem to think it really is. The landform is comparable to the multitude or butte or mesa landforms found here on Earth. The picture taken in 2001 has three times the pixels sizes compared to the pixels in '76, also if this Martian landform was indeed crafted by aliens it would benefit NASA a lot.
The Face on Mars can be compared to the lot of landforms in the Western America. One scientists, Garvin, recalled "it reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River in the Snake RIver Plain of Idaho." This can also be a reminder of other landforms, such as the Appilachian Mountain or Old Faithful- the water geyser at Yosemite National Park. In Cydonia, there are also quite a few odd landforms. The Face is just another one of the many unexplainable formations on Mars.
The day the picture of the Face was taken, the people in the spacecraft had to go through many misty clouds. That day was a cloudy day on Mars. The picture taken had three times the pixels than the picture taken in April of 1998.The picture was clearer and one could see that the shadows that creates the parts
of the face are just only shadows. The only unusual thing about it was that it looked "like an Egyptian Pharoh."
The main reason conspiracy theorists would believe the Face in an alien craft is because it is an unusual landform. NASA scientists wanted more attention toward Mars and they wish there really was an Ancient Martian colony. It would benefit NASA and its funding.
One now can come to the conclusion that the Face on Mars is just a natural landform. The Martian landform is quite similar to the ones found in western America. The original picture taken in '76 had less pixels making the picture appear odd, and if this was a formation created by aliens, NASA would use it as a benefit. | 2 |
Everyone should join the Seagoing Cowboys. The Seagoing Cowboys help a lot of people from when they were injured during World War Two. This oppertunity will help you see the real world and helping others just like you want help sometimes. I think it is so fun that I've been on the trip 18 times. If you're in the military, this will show how you serve others and help them. In this great job in which you will also get to travel the high seas! There might be a lot of dangerous stuff that will happen because your in the ocean, like the time that I cracked my ribs and I couldn't go on some trips for a while but it was an an adventure. I was scared after that but I knew that all that matters is if you have a good time and you get to see the great work you're doing. You also get to stop places and get to sightsee places that you might have never seen before, it's a blast. So come join and have a blast as you join the seagoing pirates and help the people that have been injured in other countries from World War Two. | 1 |
Driving a car is one of the hardest thing to do for the reason that you need to learn how to drive, you need to know what are the rules in driving and what are the traffic regulations in order to prevent conflicts such as accident. With all these problems Google had come with an idea on creating a driverless cars which could drive independently. Google's idea might be the smartest decision that they've had but the question is, are driverless cars helpful or harmful?
When we look back on the past there were companies that made a smart-road systems like the General Motors and surprisingly it worked well, but the problem is, it required massive upgrade to existing roads which is an expensive thing to do. With the result of smart-road system which didn't really succeed, manufacturers think of a greater idea--to create driverless cars which could really help a lot of people especially those who doesn't want driving. One of Google's modified Toyota Prius uses a lot of sensors like position-estimating sensors, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver and an inertial motion sensor. All of those material are used to make sure that driverless cars are safe to use, can detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers, and can handle itself and do its task properly. Those are just the helps that driverless cars can do. When we look on the other side, driverless cars are not comepletely driverless, which means the drivers need to remain alert and focused all the time.
And so the main problem is-- if the driver is not focused when the car gives alert then the passenger's safety will be at risk. Also, when an accident happen with the use of driverless car, will the driver be at fault or the manufacturer?
In conclusion, driverless cars have both positive and negative side. The decision of a person if he will use this car is on his own responsibility. When someone wants to use driverless cars he should be a responsible driver because scenarios such as accidents can still happen even you're using a driverless car. | 2 |
Have you ever wanted to travel around the world and help people and animals at the same time? Well you can if you join the Seagoing Cowboys program. The Seagoing Cowboys program is an excellent program to join because of the experience, jobs you could do, and the cost.
Most people have a great time on this trip because they can visit many places and sight-see while they are helping others and animals near you. I have visited places like Greece and Italy. I got to ride a gondola in Venice and visit an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal when I was on my way to China. When we were dropping off animals, we had time to play games like baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling. One night, I was on the boat and I got the job of being a night watchman for the boat and the crew. Since the boat was full of animals, I had to check up on them every hour for the entire night.
To be in this program, there aren't many requirements to get accepted. The requirements are that you have to have a diploma from the high school you went to and you have to be devoted to helping animals and humans around you. You also have to show respect to the captain and our crew members and you must show good character toward many others.
Luckily, there isn't any cost to be included in this amazing program. I was working two part-time jobs which were a grocer and a banker before my friend, Don Reist, invited me to travel the world with him in a cattle boat. The boat I got boarded on was the SS Charles W. Wooster and we were heading to Greece and 335 horses and hay were on board. It was obviously an interesting and marvelous experience.
To sum up my thoughts, boarding the SS Charles W. Wooster and signing up for the Seagoing Cowboys program was the best decision I have ever made and it was the best thing that has happened to me in my entire life. With the experience, cost, and job options you have on the cargo ship, it is an excellent choice to make. I'd suggest that you sign up for the Seagoing Cowboys program in the future. | 2 |
All of our development since world war II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change. Do you know what are some of the risks of car-intesive areas? Well, passenger cars are the responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in europe... And up to 50 percent in some car-intesive areas in the United States.
There's many ways to reduce car pollution, for example as is said in Source 2: Paris bans driving due to smog, congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France (Paris) after days of near-record polllution because Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. but Pasris isn't is the only one who's making a change, as it shows in Source 3: Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota, Bogota has given a new beginning with the implementation of a program "The day without cars" in which cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for. In both cities the weather spread out in good changes and reduce drastically car pollution.
But, why is limited car usage important? Well, there is many reasons to get benefits beause of it, for instance, suburbs are becoming more compact and more accessible to public transportation, also in this new aproach, stores are placed a walk away, on main streets, rather than in malls along some distant highway.
Therefore, pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources,lower emissions and improve safety, so remember driving is a vanity not a priority. | 1 |
limiting car usage is an advantage for many reasons, for example, the pollution will become less of a problem, people will be less tense, and we will be devoid of traffis jams, which means less car accidents. To me cars are just something to get you to point A to B, but now that I have read these articles I realize that cars are alot wrose for the enviroment then i thought, and that i should try using of ways of transportation.
In the passage it states "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." The pollution was out of control and for the most part it was because of the huge amount of car usage. The effect of banning car usage was resulting in an amazing outcome, less pollution, which is healthier for the commuitty. The advantage of limiting car usage can effect a whole commuitty and one way is less pollution. Bogota, Colombia had the same idea but they were not banning the car usage they have one day called the car-free day to show that its an advantage not to use cars all the time.
Limiting car usage can even make you less tense, as said in the article," "When I had a car I was always tense. Im much happier this way,"said Heidrum Walter, a media trainerand mother of two, as she walker verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering childern drown out the occasional distant motor." Everything is better when car usage is limited it, makes you less tense and less pollution." " Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife."
When there is less cars on the road there is less possiblity of car accidents or traffic jams." ... leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams." During the one day of no car usage, the streets were left of no traffic jams or accidents. The world is a better place with limited car usage. " Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."
To conclude, the limited car usage is a great way to reduce the amount of pollution, become less tense , and creat less possibility to have car accidents or road jams. After reading these article I have realized that taking othe transportations like bicycle or on foot could have huge impacts on the enviroment and my own well being. | 3 |
The use of this technology is not valuable because ,it will not always be accurate .You can't tell from a 400 year old painting that Mona Lisa was 83 percent happy ,9 percent disgusted ,6 percent fearful ,and 2 percent angry .That just doesn't make any sense .You can usually tell what kind of emotion a person is feeling .Just by looking at a persons facial expression you can tell if someone is happy ,sad ,or mad .
On the other hand though this kind of technolgy could be useful .Here is how this program works .A computer constucts a 3-D model of the face ; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human msucles .The movement of one or more muscle is called an action unit .The computer detects 6 emotions happiness ,suprise ,anger ,disgust ,fear ,and sadness .
In everday life you can tell how a person is doing .Like if my friend walked up to me with his head down ,I can most likley tell ,that he is sad or angry .You can also tell persons emotion by looking at body movements something a computer can't do .
There is another benefit to this computer .If you are in class and you just have a blank stare the computer can tell if you are confused or bored .Then it could also modify the lesson .Another example is for online advertisment .If I see an ad that I like and I smile ,then I scroll down and see a similar ad ,but I frown ,it will change the ad just becuase I frowned .This is the same technology used in video games and video surgery .
In my opinion i dont think this kind technology would be valuable .It might not be accurate all the time and it would cost a lot of money .Instead of using this you can just look at a person and see there emotion . | 2 |
Dear Florida state senator,
In few words, the United States should keep the Electoral Collage. Although the people may not depend on them, it does not mean that they are dependable either. The United States may have a long process of voting for a president for the country that in which only they can choose rather than the people, but it still is being done for the good of the countries' future.
The process for gaining a president may be long and not allow the peoples' voices to matter, but the future of the country cannot be placed on their unreliable descisions. Not all of the people are experienced on the ways of the government as the Electoral College or the House of Representatives are. In truth, you may never know that if a certified member of any one of the states is actually on the side for the greater good of the country. An enemy country may pay for any large number of citizens to elect a certain candidate that could be working for them. This could happen with the Electoral Collage. They may be paid by an organization working against the U.S. or by one of the candidates themselves for personal gain. But even if it did happen, as it claims in Source 1, by the Office of the Federal Registar, there would be the House of Representatives to also give the last vote if there were to be a tie. Source 3 states that there is an equal number of electors which gives every state a chance of getting in the matter of equally electing a candidate for president.
Many things could happen while there is a new president to be elected. As I said before: the Electoral College may be paid to pick one candidate for president over the other. Source 2, by Bradford Plumer, states that the Electoral College has its defenses. Some of its members may be replaced in a state for that states' personal gain in the matter. Even so, it would be hard to tell. For the most part, it is the unfairness of not counting the peoples thoughts and opinions. It is their country as well!
All in all, it is very unreliable to put trust in the people, or anyone, for voting a president. Not many people may like the Electoral College, or their final descision, but even then it is the best way of getting a fair vote on a president. They will be there to select the new future of the country, besides being their job to do so, as opposed to the American people having duties elsewhere. They may want a candidate over the other, but even then by the end of the day, they would be in the same square they were on even before there was to be a new president elected. Even so, if there is a change in their style of living that they frown upon, they can always alert Congress. | 3 |
Are self-driving car the next advancement in car technology? Self-driving cars are the future of transportation. Self-driving cars can be easier for the driver, safer for the passengers and pedestrians, and make smarter choices for drivers.
Self-driving cars easier on the drivers. When somebody drivers for long periods of times it puts strain on the eyes and mind. With this strain on the driver they could not be as sharp or fast reacting as they should be while driving. A self-driving car would take the strain off of their eyes and mind keeping them alert and focused when the time to drive comes. Like a GPS the self-driving car could choose the fasted path to when you want to go. The car would recieve information as a GPS or phone would and take the path with the least time spent driving.
These cars would be able to make smarter choices for drivers. The car would be able to detect crashes or other road hazard and stop or avoid these things.
The car would also warn the driver when there are hazards ahead that they may not be able to see with their eyes. When an ambulance or police car is coming these cars would know to move out of the way to make room for them before the driver even knows that they are coming.
These new cars would be safer. If somebody tried to hijack a persons car the car
could stop or freeze similar to a kill switch so they couldnt steal it. Without the humans driving most of the time there would be no human error such as going too fast or not seeing an animal, human, or an exit. Depending on the terrain the car could judge how fast to go when to brake or where different hazards are in the road that the human could not see.
Yes, there are several drawbacks to the car. It could malfunction on the operator and not work how its supposed to. There are many risks to this but there is a risk in anyhting we do. Before the car is realsed to the pulbic there would be many tests it would go through to work out most of the errors in the system. The cost is another factor to consider, but like any new product the price will drop over time and be more affordable to the public.
Self-driving cars are the future. They are safer for everybody. They have the ability to make smart choices that the driver could not make. They are even easier to use than your traditional car. Overall yes, self-driving cars are good and can be benificial to every day life for drivers and even other people not in the car. | 3 |
In retrospect, people use to be able to live a happy carefree life before cars were invented. Cars were just something people used to be able to get to places quicker, and to be able to leave when ever we wanted to. A car used to be a luxary item, and now a car is a nessecity for most humans. Some countries are helping"But America's love affair with its vehicles seems to be cooling,"(Source #4) the cause. The benefits of limiting car usage are it will help the environment, it will reduce most citzens stress levels, and it will regulate money in different way.
The benefits of limiting car usage is that the evvironment will be a lot healthier. According to experts "[Automobiles are] a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tail pipes,"(Source #1). The environment is very important to keep healthy. Cars are very polutefull "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city," (Source #2) towards the environment.
Also connecting to the benefits of limiting car usage helps relieve stress. According to Heirun Walter, a media trainer "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"(Source #1). Without cars more Colombians "In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a care-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily deviod of traffic jams,"(Source #3) were more active. When you exericise it helps you to relive stress.
To most people money is very important. Now without having cars our money get regulated thru a public bus or subways. Losing revenue is not a bad thing "Delivery companies complained of lost of revenue, while expectations were made for plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers,"(Source #2) for everyone. Overviewing it "It was the thrid straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the day without cars in this capital city of 7 million. The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violators faced $25 fines,"(Source #3) we could make more money off of violators.
Cars are very umbigitious in most countries. Cars are not a neccesity of life. Acccording to recent studies "Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by,"(Source #4). Citzens who used their car less were saving money, less stresed out and were more evironmentaly considerate. The benefits of limiting car usage are it will help the environment, it will reduce most citzens stress levels, and it will regulate money in different way. | 3 |
The NASA was very happy to find out something. It is about time they found something there. It wouldn't have a shocked that they found it. They have problaby found other things but they just don't talk about it. NASA is apart of everything that is how we have a earth.
They usely don't find stuff like this. They always have someone go up there to check one everything for about a year. It is every hard to look after asternots. They get sick and hurt or killed all the time. Sometime people just want to go up their just to be a fun exsperament.
It would be evry hard to do that. I know I could go up to NASA. Some people don't care about anything about the atmosphere.You would have to have alot of guts to go up there. I would be a hard thing to do because you have life and death seasions.
I wouldn't have guts to go up their because it would be to much to handle. I wouldn't be able to take it. I would be afaid of dying or something. I have a long life ahead of me so why do something stupid like that. I would be risking my whole future. It is hard to believe that someone would be that stupid to do that.
I would want to leave life in the earth not in the outer space because you don't know what could happen. It would take a lot of training to be able to go up their. I would have a hardatake if I went up their. Peope are kinda smart that go up their. I wouldn't be that smart to go up their. | 0 |
The advantage of limiting car usage is beneficial to helping the enviroment, improvement in America and citizens. Which all lead a happier healthier life, and may also improve our realtionship with other country's around the world.
However, even though their are many different advantages to limiting car usage, one of the most important one is helping the enviroment. The amount of green house gas emission is unbelievable, "and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States" compared to "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emmison in Europe". Citizens if we limit our car usage our surronding's would be a healthier place. "as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter pf wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor". With cars not being allowed in this community, it create's a safer enviroment for their community. "pedestrians, bicycle, private cars, commmercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety" which are more examples of helping th enviroment.
Furthermore, another advantage of limiting car usage is improvement of social and also awarness of other transportation. ""All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." said David Goldberg, and official of Transportation for America, a fast growinh coaltion of hundreds of groups in the United States... who are promotiong new communities that are less dependent on cars." with new kinds of transportation we could get places quicker and improver our lives. Their are many other places doing car free day which seems to be helping, they put rules in place like getting fined oif you use your car. Those country's have seen results. If we do this in America we can see many new results too. "The turnout was large, despite gray clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on Bogste. "The rain hasn't stopped people from particapting" with this kind of determination it can help build character in citizens.
Concludingly, their are many if not thousands of advantages to limiting car usage, you just have to be a willing particapant. As a citizen of America ask yourself, do you want to improve the world your living in by just taking a very simple step of limiting car usage. | 2 |
Cars are becoming a must in today's society. In some places, people live and survive without a motorized vehical. People don't have to stop using cars altogether, but should be able to limit themselves to save of world from pollution creating a better environment to live in.
Some people don't understand the severity of pollution and how much cars contribute to that. Pollution is said to become Earths demise, whith cars producing and letting out so much smog, it seems as if the Earths demise could be near. According to Robert Duffer, Paris has "enfored a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." This evidence of Paris giving a partial ban shows how detrimental cars can have on Earth environment. Further examination reveals, a situtation where Bogota has even issued a " car-free day" stated by Andrew Selsky. This source shows us that with even one day without using a car could be a useful plan for all places. People of today don't need to not use their cars, just use their cars either less per day or per week.
Although some may say, we need cars to get to work or to go to the grocery store, they can always just use public transportation. Buses are already running even if you are in a car so why not use them instead of polluting the air even more. In Bogota, when they have their car-free day, most people either "hiked","biked", "skated" or "took buses" as a mean of transportation. More evidence shows a senario where the Environmental Protection Agency is encouraging a "car reduced" community, stated by Elisabeth Rosenthal. Resources such as this one shows that if the United States Evironmental Protection Agency is concerned about our pollution rate why shouldn't we? If we cut down on our use of cars, pollution rate can drop extremley down causing a better living environment.
When you stop to think why cars have become so prevelant, there is no exact reasoning. If we don't even know our exact reasoning for having a car, in a case that we can't rely on buses or our own two legs to provided why are we risking the safty of our Earth in order to use them? Cars aren't the slighest bit the problem, how and how often we use them is becoming the problem, if we limit our use of cars our advantage would be the single best thing in live, happiness and peace of life. | 3 |
I am against the driverless cars cars for many reasons and how it would affect us humas when driving or assisting the car. I am against the driverless cars becaus it will take the things or places that humans would want to do on their own instead of a car taking them there by itself. It also would get us fustrsted because we wouldn't know when to control the car or if when controling it every other time while driving. Driverless cars could also make humans not want to have the car anymore because we would want to start driving by ourselves. Also it would make us teenagers wanting the car because we aren't driving it and we dont even knwo how to control or dive a car. We don't have our license or permit yet. It would lead to the teenagers turn to drive and they don't know how to use the car which would to either a car accident or the death of a teenager because of the driverless car.
The affects of haveing this car is a lot. One affect of having this driverless car is that it would need a lot of gas just for one car. Another affect is that the car it self could lose control and something bad could happen to the driver. It would also need multiple battery changes because the car driving by itself takes a lot of battery juice from the car. The driverless car could also affect us because there could be times that we would want to drive on our own and the car want let us. The car could shut down on us while it's driving. It requres massive upgrades to existing roads, as it say's in the paragraph 3 sentence 5. It also needs alot of sensors and when those sensors are in they could brake or die and it cost more money to get them and fix them then any ther normal car.
When having these cars there are many reasons why we should'nt have them. Looking at the reasons ahead would at least help people realize that we don't need a driverless car in the car. As it in paragraph 9 it say's '' if the technology fails and someone gets hurt who is at fault the car or the maufacture. Driverless cars are good ideas but there dangerous to us humans. | 1 |
"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is a paper that sets out to support that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. After analyzing the paper, I am prepared to make the claim that the author fails to do so. He/she presents a vast array of information on the dangers of exploring Venus, as well as the challenges of doing so, but forgets almost entirely to argue that studying Venus is still is worthy pursuit. The majority of the essay focuses on setbacks, not rewards.
The author begins by explaining how spacecraft cannot survive on Venus long, and that previous missions have been short for that very reason. The pessimistic tone is continued in Paragraph 3, where the author describes the formidable heat, pressure, geology, and weather of Venus, and how such intense conditions would complicate research efforts. It states, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of hihgly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere." In paragraphs 5 and 7, possible ways to combat these road blocks are discussed. Left out of the conversation is the "why?" The author describes NASA's efforts to bipass Venus's problems (like designing a hovering device or considering the use of mechanical computers) but doesn't fill readers in on why such pursuits would even be worth the effort. The question, "We can, but why should we?" is not answered.
To say that the author was not successful in vouching for rearch of the planet Venus is not to say that attempts were not made. Paragraphs 4 and 8 make a few attempts at telling readers why researching is still a good idea. The author informs readers that Venus is of-interest to scientists because it is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Mentioned also is that Venus is sometimes the closest option for planetary visitation, making its exploration a more economical choice than other planets. Paragraph 8, the conclusion, says, "Striving to meet he challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." Here the author is saying that Venus should be studied because we can gather information, and humans are curious. This is not science or fact-based, and is not strong because it is common knowledge, not argumentative material. If addressing why researching Venus is a worthy pursuit is supposedly one of the focal points of the 8-paragraph paper, evidence supporting it should be found in more than two places.
In conclusion, "The Challlenge of Supporting Venus" did not do a good job of supporting the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. In fact 6 out of the 8 paragraphs talk mostly about what a struggle exploration would be, and the work it would require. It focused more on giving the reader facts and figures about why studying Venus would be difficult, nearly impossible, even, but it did not thoroughly explain why such difficulties should be worked through, or why researching Venus is a fruitful and worthwhile endeavor. | 4 |
Have you ever wanted to know what it feels like to liev another planted? well I cant blaim you. Knowning we have other plantes that are surrounding us amd there are probaly a lot of cool things we can do out there, does sound pretty fun and cool. Most people would ask, when we get there wont we die or not even make it? Well
I´m going to chnage your mind and tell you why should vistit venus and discover all the things there,and maybe later you can think about visting he rest of the solor system.
As we all know venus is pretty close to earth. They even sometimes call it our ¨Evening star¨ or even the ¨twin¨ of earth. They feature a lot earths density and size. They really only deffer in speed ¨sometimes we are closer to mars and other times we are closer to Venus, because Venus is soetimes right around the corner¨. In my option venus is like another sun, it has the brighest points in the sky and is a very hard plantet to even look at because of its brigtness.
I´m sure we have we have all seen picture Venus or have heard story about what venus looks like or even the solor system. The pictures we have seen are sometimes close but not all the way, I´m sure there is way more background to what we know than what sciecntist know or have discovered over the last years. Astronomers are fascienated by Venus out of all plantes because¨long ago Venus may looked just like earth today.¨ Some say that Venus was probaly just like out plant, filled with water, liek a ocean type form or even have some features to our way of life. On the other hand we all know that´s not what Venus looks like today. Some say Venus still has have some features that is like earth but learning from NASA¨the plantet is like a rocky sediemnt but also have some cool feathures like valleys, mountains and maybe even creaters.¨
Finally we should just meet any imaginations that is bring upon us, even if we know we shouldn´t or it can put us in some type of ¨danger¨, you only live once so u might as well take a chance and do what you can. Even through it might take years for it to happen its worth seeing new things outside of earth. sceinctists says that we ¨cant take samples of rocks, gas or anything esle, from distance¨ hopefully they can find a way we can so if we do send people to Venus they can bring back things for us to look at. More likely I´m sure they are having resecahers working on things to allow people to go on a long lasting mission. Scienctist have thought about bringing back old technology called ¨mechincail computers, they played a important role¨.
That´s how we know and got all the info we got till this day.
Now you have all the info or cool things about how Venus is like a baby version on Earth, how venus formlooks are like and the imagination of things. We plan to hope we can learn all or se more things about Venus than what we just know | 2 |
It isn't fair to let someoe vote for someoe and then for said someone that that they voted for swing and vote for someone else that the person didn't lean to vote for. In my own opinion, we should get rid of the Electoral College, because we sometimes do not get what we voted for.
Why have electoral votes that may not get the president you want? In paragraph nine of Source Two it states how over sixty percent would prefer a direct election. So the question is, why not do it? Sixty out of one hudred percent would prefer it, so why not atleast give it a try? Having a whole state have to decide what party to choose from doesn't seem fair. Ifwe had a direct election, then the President with the most votes out of the whole country would be the rightful President. It seems as if the Electoral College isn't quite acurate.
Getting rid of the Electoral College would change the U.S. a lot. It hopefully would be a good change. If it was gone, we could all hope that we would get whom we wated in office by a direct election. In paragrapgh four-teen, Source Two, it says that "The Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational." The outdated part of that sentence is true. The electoral College was enforced in 1888 and has since been used by voters today. It's time for a change and a direct election should be that change. What is so bad that could happen?
The Winner-Take-All method would be gone. Voting in an Electoral College is like voting for your vote to have the most votes, like in school, you want to pick what game you play so you vote and whatever has the most, you play. Except in voting for Presidency your vote goes to whatever your state has the most of. Which seems unfair. You basically just vote to vote, so It's only a big win for you if what party you voted for is what your state goes with.
The staes determine who is the President during an election. The electoral votes have an effect on the state. 538 electors throughout the whole country. A majority of 270 electoral votes are required to elect the president. According to Source One, your state is entilted to how many members in cogress you have, plus two for each senator. So you the voter have no say on what party they all decide to lean towards. But in a direct election, your vote counts.
To conclude, we should all consider to try and make direct election happen. It would help your chance of the candidate the you vote for become President. | 2 |
i am all against driverless cars because there are many problems with this and there always will be, but for example cars will be more like trains. Yeah the cars will use half as much fuel as todays taxis, but I mean how would you drive to a secrect camping spot or something and there wouldnt be any more movies where a car crashes into a wearhouse because the car brakes as soon as it senses the wearhouse, and how would you out run the cops or some maniac in a car chase? you wouldnt. Our knowlegde on how to drive will change and there will be a generation that doesnt know how to drive manually for example it the article it says that and it would be pretty sad. The best way i can put it is it would be sad that it would be like we are losing or free will or our right to drive how we want. | 1 |
Its not a alien its just how the landform was growing It started growing in a weired way and it kept going. Its just a landform there are many landforms on mars but this one is a little different from the rest of the landform this one looks more like like a face and the rest are just plane landforms. But if there was aliens On mare why would they just make one landform that looks like a face if there was aliens on mars im sure they wouldnt just make one that looks like a face and dont make anymore. They would make more and more till they got tired of making them..But its a landform growing in a shape of a face if there was different landforms that grew the same way it would be the same way as this landform. Or there coud have bind so bad weather and it could have did this and made the face. | 1 |
Venus is a planet in space, that is the second planet from the sun and the closest plant to Earth density and size wise. Venus has a "thick atmosphere of almost 97 carbon dioxide" which makes it a very toxic place and top of the "clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere." Other dangerous conditions are such as the temperatures that "average 800 degrees Fahrenheit."
The author suggets that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it presents. It is a worthy pursuit because researchers can explore new types of rocks, gas, and etc. Because Venus is such as harsh planet, it makes everything on the planet that much rare. Despite the conditions, when things on the planet are discovered it can make a huge impact on the history of space and scientists.
"NASA's possible soultion to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float ablove fray." The author presents an idea that would allow humans to be able to observe the planet despite the dangers it presents. | 1 |
If I was a scientist at NASA, and I was discussing the Face with someone whos belifs were that the face was created by an anilen, I would tell them it was created by a landform because, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, the MOC team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos, and it was just a natural landform, A person part of the MOC said that when he saw the Face, it reminded him of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho and, when scientists first saw the Face, they figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia.
First, when the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, they snapped a picture that was ten times sharper then the orginail photos from the Viking, and it turned out just to be a natural landform. But people were not satisfied, they were saying that the camera on board had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face, maybe the alien markings were hidden by haze. So they looked again, Its not easy to target Cydonia, says Garvin. In fact, its hard work.'' said Gavin, but on a cloudless day, they looked again and found nothing but the landform again.
Second, When Gavin travled out to Mars he said that the landform reminded him of a natural landform in the American West. In the article, Gavin said It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. Gavin looked at the face many times, even during the cloudly days and the cloudless days and he sees the Face as a landform, and there are pictures from a advanced camera to prove it.
Lastly, when the scientists at NASA first saw the Face they figured it was just another Martian mesa, which are common around the Cydonia area. Once the scientists released the photo of the Face to the world for all to see, thats when the problems started coming in. People and a few scientists were starting to believe it was actually a alien face, but most since the Martian mesa are really common around that area then why are people worrying? Its just a landform, not only did the Viking air shuttle take the pictures but also an advanced camera did.
I feel that the Face is just a landform, because scintists are proving that it is a landform with the advanced cameras that they are using, Scientists that are going out into Mars to look at the Face are saying that it reminded them of a landform that is known in America, and when the photo was first found by the Viking air shuttle the scientists first reaction to the picture that it was a landform, not an alien face. | 3 |
Everyone shows emotion at some point in their lives. Whether it be joy, sorrow, or even anger everyone has expressed their emotions in one way or another. Now there is a computer software that can recognize six emotions. Reading the emotional expressions of students in a classroom using this technology is valuable because it could tell the instructor when a student is confused, it could modify the lesson, and it could help people feel more empathy for each other.
Students can become confused very quickly when an instructor is teaching about something. This computer software could stop this from happening and overall help students have a better experience at school when trying to learn. In paragraph six Dr. Huang talks about how this could revolutionize a classroom, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." This would overall help a teacher know when someone is confused so they can help them after class or talk to them more in-depth about the lesson. This invention could hep out many of students that find lessons to be very hard and don't know how to do whatever the instructor is teaching. This software could also modify the lesson that an instructor is teaching so that it is easier for a student to grasp.
Many teachers present day don't necessarily care if the students are learning what they are teaching, but just the fact that they are teaching it gives them a clear concious. This computer program could give the teachers an alert saying that someone isn't getting the lesson because they are confused with a certain topic that the teacher talked about during the class. They could then modify their lesson so that it is easier for everyone to learn. An example of evidence from the text of this is when Dr. Huang talks about how using this technology teachers could modify their lesson so that it would be easier for their students to learn, "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." This helps point to the fact that it could help everyday teachers know when their students aren't completely grasping the lesson that they are teaching. This technology could also help people have more empathy for each other.
People present day are always talking about how nobody has any empathy for each other. This software could fix this especially in the classroom. A student would know when their fellow student would be sad and they would be able to talk to them and help them overcome the sadness. Another reason empathy may happen would because we unconciously imitate other people's facial expressions. Here is a quote from this article where the author, Nick D'Alto is talking about how this technology could cause empathy, "Empathy may happen because we unconciously imitate another person's facial expressions." This would help people show more empathy for each other. Overall this would be a great addition to the classroom.
Having this software in a classroom setting would stop students from becoming confused from a lesson, help modify the lesson so that an instructor could make the lesson more understandable for students, and give people more empathy. These reason give evidence that having this computer software in a classroom would not only benefit the students but benefit the teachers as well by giving them that peace of mind that their students get the lesson that they are teaching. | 5 |
The authors idea of Venus was a good article, he explains how Venus despite the the volcanoes, earthquakes and the frequent lighting, Venus would still be a good place to study and learn from for are future. I like this idea because we really dont look at other planets like how we study ours and Mars. In the article it explains how Venus has metals and rocks, having different metals and different rocks can help out with things we might need. Having new types of metals could help us make stronger things like, weapons, cars, airplanes and towers. Venus also is a planet that is closer to the sun then we are so we might find something that could help us in the long run. We could maybe find new life and study it for future things. But there is a problem with studing venus....ITS TOO HOT, Venus is close to the sun making it hot like hotter then earth on its hottest day. But NASA came up with a idea. In the article it says that "Imagine a blimp like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape" that would help alot becuase then we wouldnt have to send a human t get the information that we need to pull from Venus. So this is why the authors suggests was a great article. | 1 |
If car usage is limited like it is in Vauban we would have malls on a walk away off a main street and not by distant highways. New communities that are less dependent on cars are being developed. The EPA in the US is promoting "car reduced" communities and legislators are starting to act cautiously.
In Paris they have such a high population which is near record they enforced a partial driving ban to let the air clear up.
On Monday people with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their car at home or suffer a 22 euro fine in American currency $31 and the next it applied for the odd numbered license plates. 4,000 drivers suffered the fine and 27 had their vehicals impounded for the way they reacted to getting the fine. Because so many people live in Beijing China and use vehicals it became known as one of the worlds most polluted cities would you want that happening to your city. Due to the warm days and cold nights the car emmisions were trapped in the air. Diesel fuel was blamed for the pollution.
In Colombia a program was set that one day was to be car free and they would use other modes of transportation such as buses, bikes, etc... it was the 3rd straight year in a row they did it and people who refused faced $25 fines. A businessman named Carlos Arturo Plazza states that "it`s a good opportunity to take stress away and lower air pillution." and for the first time ever 2 more citties in Colombia joined the event. Municipal authorities from other countries came to Bogota and were enthusiastic to see the event. This campign began in Bogota in the mid 1990s. Which has lead to the developement of 118 miles of bike paths in Bogota. Also parks and sports centers bloomed throughout the city and new upscale shopping districts as well.
Finally in the US president Obama had goals to curb the US` greenhouse gas emissions were unveild. Recent studies in America show that fewer Americans are buying cars and get fewer licenses as each year goes by. The US having broad expanses and suburban ideals had long been on of the world`s prime car cultures. It`s the birth place of the first ever model T in Detroit. The rate of car ownerships per household and per person slowly began to decrease withing 3 years. If the patteren persists and many beleve it will it will have benificial implications for the US` carbon emissions and the environment. transportation is the 2nd largest source behind power plants. It would have a negative implication for the car industry. ther has been a large drop in percentage of 16-39 years old getting their licenses.
These are some reasons why people should limit their car usage so we can keep the positive trend in the car for our enviroment and make breathing healthier to people and lower our pollution. So keep it up and our enviroment will start to recover from the years of pollution we have caused. | 1 |
Did you know the face on mars is and always has been a natural land formation and nothing more so. Even though people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on mars it is actualy a Butte, land forms that are common in american west. The face on mars is not eny type of ancent martion civalization land mark and has been proven, by NASA, to be a natural land formation.
The face on mars is thing more but a land formtion known as butte. In April 5, 1998 Global Surveyor took pictures of the Face and had raviled a natural land formation. thn again in April 8, 2001 an even more clearer shot af the face was taken again for to prove it was only a land formation and was then proven to a butte, land formations that are coomon in the American West.
People that belive that the face is profe of a national land mark are only seeing what they belive from films, books, magazines, and radio talk shows. normaly these people don't have the means to acually inspect the face and aren't acual scientist and astronimasts that make a living from studying it. Don't take the fact from a person how only talks about what he wants it to but a person who atualy knows what they are talking about.
The face has been proven to be a natural land formation in 199, but people still belive it's an anchent martion civalization. The picture that was taken in 1998 was taken on a foggy day on mars so people still think it could be a profe to life on mars. In 2001 another picture that was not fogged was tooken and put an end to the entire fuss.
Take the facts from the people that studyed the face and don't listen to thoughs who don't know what they are talking about. The face is and always has been a butte. | 2 |
Dear Mr. Senator,
Around my community, there has been a lot of talk about how the president should be elected into office. Whether it is from the electorial college or by popular vote. This is a very important matter to me because it can change how our country is. In my opinion, it should be by the electorial college. I'm not saying the elctorial college is the right way but I would really like if you can look into it.
My question to you Mr. senator is why you wouldnt want to take the process of the electorial college to pick a president? All of the pieces seem to fall into place. So isnt it the obvious choice? See, the person who gets the most ammount of votes gets to be the president. Thats as simple as it can get. And in my opinion, it is as fair as it gets. It is also not a democratic method of selecting the next person in office.
So Mr. Senator, all i want you to do is look into the elctoral college. It is obviously the right choice. So please, make the whole community happier and use the better way. Be fair to our country and make us happy to live in the best country in then world. The United States of America. | 1 |
This could be very vaulable. It could change the way things are being taught in class, when a student is bored the computer could pick up on it and find a way to make it more fun, also while letting teacher's know how their student's are feeling so they can find ways to make the class more upbeat and fun to learn in.
This techonlogy could be very useful to teacher's and students alike.
Teacher's could understand how their student's are feeling and find way to help them and figure out what it is they need, and how soon they need it.
Some student's are not very open, with their emotions or even their home life, this could help teacher's help student's that may be in need of social servies and such. With that being said, yes this could be very useful to other's and provide how student's feel in a class room on a daily bases. Even though, some may think that, that is the most stupiest thing ever to be told. Nobody in this day and age is very open with each other, they all feel the need to be one man for himself, nobody cares about how anyone else might feel, not even younger teachers, they think that because they are older they are more vauble and whatever they do is correct, if soemone who truly cared about their job, had techonogly like this. I feel they would be all means use this in the best way possible. Student's would have more fun and interesting school days, they would have more to come home and tell their parent's about all the cool and intresting stuff they learned that week and how their teacher's made them feel very welcomed and at home. Instead in 2018, almost every student is tested and made to feel dumb because all of these test, that are pushed on them, they won't remember tomorrow because it won't be something that's important.
In conclusion, school doesn't come easy to everyone. Some students really struggle but won't speak up because some teacher's and other student's make them feel stupid and that, they shouldn't be there. I think this techonogly would further help teachers, maybe, just maybe understand their own student's. If they cared enough to pay attetion to them and actually do what they get paid to do, which is help children learn, and love to learn to pass on to the next generation. | 2 |
Venus id the closes planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distamce too. Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other times to Venis. Bacause Venus is somentimes right atound the corner- in space terms-humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world.
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 armosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures averga over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times grater than what we experience on our own planet.
The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Furhermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames os space travel.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has one particularle compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus.
More impotantntly, researchers cannot take samples of rock,gas, or anyrhing else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges.
NASA is working on other aproaches to studying Venus, For example, some simplified electronics the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during world war ll. Modern computers are enormouslt powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicated when it phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin.
Strivind to meet the callenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself. 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. | 0 |
cars have many flaws nd and in this day and age some are trying to get rid of them. in sime ways that could be the answer to our polution problem but cars or still too important to get rid of. limiting are car usage could be the answer. thats good cuz it gets u time to exercise,decreases our polution problem,and gives us a chance to enjoy life better instead of speeding through life withy cars.
cars today is one of our leading problems of polution and global woarming. the decrease of car usage will help the enviorment. we fill our cars with deisel fuel wich make up 67percent in a city such as paris,france with a great population. after days of near record polution, paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city.
exercise is raelly good for your health. such as walking,riding a bike, or even jogging. anything instead of using a car maybe instead of taking your car to work how about walking to the nearest bus stop. instead of taking ur child to school let them ride the bike to school. | 1 |
Dear, To whom ever it may concern I here am writing this this letter to tell you guys about the Electoral College or changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. The Electoral college process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of electorals votes by Congress. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Under the 23rd Amendmentof the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purposesof the Electoral College.
Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of Electors.I know the electors are generally chosen by the candidate's politicail party, but state law vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are .. Also the Presidential election is geld every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

I personally agree and disagree with this idea. First, i agree because it seems like a really good idea, it will make driving more fun and exicting. Not all people like to drive all the time so why not have a car do your job in driving for you? Its a cool thing to show off, Lots of people are fasinated with this car. Their cars has driven half a million miles without a crash, but you can never be sure when one is bound to happen. It would change the world though. People wil be facscinated with this car and would want to try it out.
I also disagree because, this can be a very dangerous thing to do. You never know what could happen having the car drive itself. It could mess up without warning and bad things could happen such as crashes and wrong turns. The sensor they put inside the car could lose itsself and not see people walking across the street, then now you have an accident. You always want to make sure you and your peers or pedestrians are safe. You just cannot make sure of that with a driver-less car. If a negative thing would happen while driving this car, it would create a bad look on the people who made the cars because, they've said so many positive things about the effects of this car, what it can and cant do, so people are depending on the manufactures to keep their word.
I just disagree because, the world is crazy and you never know what could happen. People could get hurt such as pedestrians, other drivers could lose their car due to accidents, manufacturers could lose their job due to an unhappy customer. It seem too dangerous. This car has its pro's and con's. It could be a fun entertaining thing to do, but you should also worry about your safety. | 2 |
This article talks about "Making Mona Lisa Smile,". In this article we learn about a machine that can that detects or identifies your emotions, whether sad, happy, angry, confused, or surprised this machine does it all.
This machine found out that she was 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. This software is the latest innovation from Prof. Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. This software actually calculates peoples emotions like a math homework. The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles, Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit".
Dr. Huang observes that facial expression for each emotions are universal even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression. Using video imagery, the new emotion recognition software tracks these facial movements in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting he different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions as in da Vinci's masterpiece.
In fact, we human perform this same impressive calculation everyday. For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried and so on. Yet Dr huang obsereves that artists such as Da vinvi studied human anatomy to help paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anaomical information as electronic code.
I think this machine could be very useful in different situations like in offices, classrooms and even in personal homes. I would like it in classroom because it could tell whether students have a problem with something. I think this software could be a great thing for a classroom. Imagine a classroom computer that knows when you are happy or sad. For exapmle, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen a similar ad might follow it. But if you frown, the next ad will be something different.
A classroom computer could recognize when a student s becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify a lesson, like an effective human instructor. The same technology can make computer animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery. I think if a computer is able to do this it will make boring or less interesting classes more interactive, fun and understandable which makes students more willing to learn and will understands things better.
I think this new upcoming software will help make class more interesting and fun for students because if this software can read someone's emotions it wil surely know when a students is getting bored or if a student is confused. I think the will make students learn more. | 2 |
With the technology that we are capable of using to create a spaceship to have astronomers study Venus from a distance and gather information is a massive jump leading to a future where more than likely NASA could get a better understanding on our sister planet.
With deeper knowledge of a planet so similar to earth, it could really boost us and lead to bigger andvancements such as creating rovers or spaceships that can sustain Venus' enviorment for more than just a couple of weeks. With an ability to have rovers or spaceships that can sustain the enviorment, NASA can get a better understanding and get more evidance so that deeper, and more complex studies on Venus can be taken part in. With an advancement in technology in spacecrafts, scientists can achieve better understanding of the planet and its atmospere, Scientist can get more complex answers and evidance on the age of the planet, and its atmospheric pressure. Due to so little data or lack of technology to get more advanced studies of the planet, it has been difficult to get more answers than what we already have.
In conclusion, although the trips to study gather information on our sister planet, Venus, more information and evidance on the planet could let sicentists find a find a way to maybe inhabit Venus or if not, just get deeper knowledge on it. | 1 |
Driverless cars are indeed a very complex subject. In the article "Driverless Cars are Coming", The text states that the car he forsees would use half the fuel of todays taxis and offer more felxability than a bus, Which would actually come to be very helpful in some ways. By using half the fuel of todays taxis the car would save alot of money for he who has it. Transportation as in busses and taxis, would not get as much business although it may seem like a good idea, Alot of the men and women who drive these public trsnportation devices would be losing their jobs if people decide to not use them anymore becasue there is self sufficiant cars and they would complt to being forced to try to find another job which they might not be able to get.
The Driverless Cars are built very complex. They use a ton of sensors all around the car which most likely takes alot of money to put into building, Money that is poribably taken from taxes the government collects from the people, Alot of people would be losing money to build something that isnt 100% sure that it would even work. The article says that these self sufficiant cars have been tested to drive millions of miles without crashing, and still would need some assistants to park and back up out of parking spots.
"We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way.", or so the article says in passage Eight. Some maufacturers hope to do that by bringing in car entertainment and information systems that use head on displays. Which can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over, But by doing this the driver would be very distracted by the displays and if the driver needed to "take over", they would be too distracted to do so in a life saving manner.
It is illegal to even test computer driven cars, not all states are willing to follow through with allowing it. It would take a long time to try and get all states on board with the situation. If the traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accciden, which will also take even more time to come up with those laws and get them passed. Even though the passages state that the Driverless Cars would in the long run be less money, It will be more money to construct the whole thing and make sure they all are trust worthy. So the quesion is, can we really trust "Driverless Cars"? | 3 |
Are dreiverless cars a good idea for the future? There are many pros and cons to these cars.
One down side to these cars are the price. Making the driverless cost more due to the amount of gadgets that they need to perfect it. Although, it cost less for gas because it does not use as much. Because there is not an owner of these cars, the gas prices do not benefit anybody. The only benefit is that gas is reserved for a longer period and slows the use of it tremendously.
There are many car accidents that are caused by human error and these type of cars may reduce the number of injuries or deaths for some period of time. However, technology is yet to prove that it can last forever without malfunctioning. This may cause accidents that could have been prevented.
Another down side is the time of travel. If these cars are used as taxis, then they may not take you wherever it is you need to go right away. It may make several stops before you are at your own destination.
There are other resolutions to the problems of modern day transpirtation. These are less expensive resolutions. If the reasoning for driverless cars is due to the amount of gass it uses, then that can be resolved by electric cars. If the issue is safety, then people need to be more careful. It is acceptable to add new features to a modern day car for safety purposes, but there is no need to re-make cars to be automatic.
In conclusion, driverless cars are not needed and are unessicary. The only aspect of transpirtaion that needs majorly improved is the intellegence of modern day drivers. There are more cons than there are pros for the driverless cars, therefore they should be prevented. | 2 |
What are the advantages of limitng car usage? Well ther are some causes of the use of car which is polllution. like it says in the passage, "Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower pollution" (source 3). Pollution can be really bad for the people. " The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violateros wil be fine twenty five dollars" (source 3). In bogota they have had a change with limiting car usage. "It was third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without Cars in this capital city of seven million" (source 3).
People have been affected by this cause. Bogota has inpired many others to do this. Two Colombian cities has joine with them , Cali, and Valledupar. Bogota are "generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders" (source 3). Bogota just had one thing on their mind, which was to reduce smog. Ther are many other places with this king of cause. Paris has been the one most affected. " Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals" ( source 2). There has been four thousand drivers fined, and twenty seven had their car impounded for their reaction of the fine. " After days of near-recorded pollution, Paris enfourced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city" (source 2).
The United States has been doing some reserach and turns out that, " Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. The United States has been " one of the worls prime car cultures" (source 4). The united states have had the highest population growth of mile driven in two-thousand five and dropped down afterwards. The miles driven was nine percent lower than it was in two-thousand five. Car pullution has been affectig people. This is why they are reducing car usage. Its for their own good.
Pollution has been stopped with limiting the use of cars. People have been riding bikes, walking, etc, to places they have to go. They have sacrificed the use of car but has advanced their lifestyle. The have made a commitment to decrease the population of pollution. There have been talks to start inventing plug-in-cars, hybrids, and car carrying three or more passengers. There are going to find a way to stop pollution.
In Conclusion, pollution has been affecting people lives. They have done everything possible to stop pollution. There are limiting the use of cars, they are begining to transport themselves by bikes, or they walkThere goals are to " promote alternative transportation and reduce smog" (source 3). "The turnout was large despite the grey clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on Bogota" (source 3). All that smog goes up into the air and affects us. The limited car usage is really a good thing for your health and later on in your life. | 2 |
In this article reguarding the chances of humans living or visiting Venus, the author in the does a good job of telling the reader that Venus may have a chance of humans visiting the planet, but not living there because it is too hot. Venus has a lot of Earth like sructures such as mountains, valleys, and oceans. If I was a scientist i would want to study and maybe even see it from outer space because of all its unique features it has. The planet is very closely related to Earth and would be liveable on if it was not so hot there. Venus has storms just like Earth does, like tornadoes earthquakes and thunderstorms. Venus also has very large mountains and craters to go along with them. These features give the planet one of our nearest options to visit, given among the frames of space travel.
Venus can be seen from humans on Earth because of it being the closest planet to Earth and because of how red and bright it is. The planet may not be as big as Earth, but the brightness of the planet makes the planet seem much bigger than it actually is. Scientists from NASA are coming up with an idea to send humans to study Venus. The author states that the scientists' solution is that they will allow these scientists to float above and survey since they would not be allowed to land on the planet because of how hot it is. They could take videos and pictures of the planet circling around it.
Scientists are stiving to try and study Venus and all the value it has. Not just because it has gained insight on itself, but because of all the curiosity that scientists have on the planet. Scientists should not be worried about all the dangers that come with the challenges of visiting or researching the planet from outer space because scientists shoulf expand and meet their expectations of their imagination innovation. | 1 |
Wyat Gibson, former scientist from NASA, 1976. Today, spacecraft one has captured a image to what looks to appear as a face. Scientist figured it was just another Martain mesa. "Only this one photo had unusaul shadows that made it look like an Egyptain Pharoh." I predicted that it must have a degree of surpise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion lab when the face appeared on the monitiors.
Some other scientist belived the face was an alien artfact. I snapped a picture ten times sharper than the oraginal Viking photos. I have done lots of reaserch, and revealed a natural landform. I reasched the photo a lot more. After a lot of rearch, I decoved that there was no alien monument after all.
We decieded that we still did not have enough evedience. Perhaps, alien markings were hidden by haze. Still there is no evedience as we continued. After more and more reasch. There is still no alien monument.
We decovered that the picture is acually the Martian of a butte or mesa. They are landforms common around the American West. It's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about that same height as the face on mars. In the end, there was not evedience of alien lifeform or artcraft. What we predicted might not be right, but it's defenitly not a sign of alien life. | 2 |
I believe you should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. This can be a great opportunity for you. You can visit places and experience new adventures you haven't experienced before.
If you like helping others this program is great for you. You are going to be helping. take care of the animials that are going to be shipped overseas. You also have a chance of seeing some of the views of other countries you might not have seen before.
You will be busy taking care of the animals. You would have to water and feed the animals two or three time a day. Also the "bales of hay and bags of oats had to be pulled up from the lower holds of the ship." The stalls also have to be cleaned.
Once the animals are unloaded, you can have more fun. Hang out with friend you made during the program. You'll have a lot of time on board since are going to be unloaded. The trip is long. The program could be like a break, to relax a bit. Playing games in the empty holds on the way back home, can help time pass by.
This program is a opportunity, you could learn some thing during this program. You are helping countries that were left in ruins. This program is about helping the countries that were destructed during World War II.
Signing up with a friend of mine is opportunity we had. I'm grateful we got to experience this opportunity. I am now more aware of the people needs that other countries have. This program is a opportunity and you should consider participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 2 |
When curcling around mars the aircraft had taken pictures with they had captured a face on mars. this got back to the people wich made them belive that there was some kind of alien or life form on Mars.When having more photos the scientist had noticed that the face came from clounds which had made it look like a face,but while taking more photos the face was actually rocks in mars.In the passage it states the face had came a pop icon, it was in 'Hollywood films', it was even in 'haunted grocery stores' the face was used for 25 years.The face was also used to attract attention to Mars and which it did.
After reviewing some more photos the monumit was not an alien artifact after all.The face looked like Egyptain pharaoh because of the shadows. On earth tit was common sighting in the American West,also over the years the face was starting to fade so sayin gif it was an alien artifact the face would have not disapear or start to fade away and they could oly see it when it was very sunny on Mars or when it was very cloudy.
To make sure they sent Mars Global Surveyor to take more photos and the photos came out ten times better so they could see the photo. Also there is a 'lave dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars', and revealing that there was mo alien momunment after all. | 1 |
Hello readers my name is PROPER_NAME and, today I'm gonna dicuss the new technology called the Facial Action Coding System created by Dr. Paul Eckman that enables computers to indentify human emotions. Also I'm gonna support this claim about the new human emotions technology,and I'm gonna use details from the story to back up this claim so you readers know "this new" technology is legit. So now let's get to it shall we you readers out there.
A Renaissance painting by artist Leonardo da Vinci called Mona Lisa was studied by a scientist named Prof. Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois who innovated some new computer software that can recognize human emtions, working alongside with Prof. Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. Dr Huang and his colleague were developing a better way for humans and humans to communicate with each other.I agree with this claim, you wanna why? Because technlogy in general has come a long way, and the fact it's taken to the next step is phenomenal. Like it might be a chance that a computer software can determine how we feel and not just humans in genreal, but even old paintings so long ago isn't that incredible. But in part of the story i feel like tihs software could actually work out was that it said that the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one oe more muscles is an "action unit." which means that they need to scan the face of a human like features in order to scan the face. When works on thigns like this he normally relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, he is the creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Edwin has classified six emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the muscles. For instance when you raise your eyebrows you're surprised, but when you raise your eyebrows down by your mouth you're angry.
Another good reason why i think this technology is really good and it can help is.That when facial expressions for each emotion are universal, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression. Use videp imagery, the new emotion-recogntion software tracks these facial movements- from a real face such as Mona Lisa. If u weigh the different units' the software can even identify mixed emotions. So cool that just shows you how advanced technology can be. Also each expression is cmpared against a neutral face.
My final defense to back this claim up is that computers got so advanced over the years it's kinda like it knows who to set up your mood of what you wanna see. For instance, if you smile when a Web ad appears on oyur screen, a smilar ad might follow. But if you frown , the next ad will be different. Hell a classroom computer could even detect when a student is becoming confused or bored. Well in that case it could vhelp modify lesson for the student to make them become more intertested in the assignment.
Well thank you readers i feel like i backed up my case with tih claim, we know computers or even technology in general might've changed in a jurrasic way but we will wonder what the future has in stored for us. We just gotta find out what's next in technology. My name is PROPER_NAME and this is my claim for FACS. | 1 |
scientist wanna learn more about the planet venus to see how it is and if it really is the closest planet to earth there is in this solar system.
The planet Venus is a difficult planet to search because earth has sent multiple missions for it unmanned because no spacecraft survied the landing more than a few hours. A spaceship has not touched down into Venus in more than three decades. The reason why its hard is because venus atmosphere is very thick, its 97% carbon dioxide. Also the clouds of venus have sulfuric acid in venus atmosphere. The average temperature in venus is usually 800 degrees Fahrenheit. the pressure of the atmosphere is 90 times greater than what we have in our own planet, that type of pressure could crush anything.
the reason they wanna know more about venus is because astronomers wanna learn more about the planet. the reason they are so curious is because its the closest earth like planet in our solar system. They say that long ago venus had an ocean and could have had various forms of life in it. the way astronomers wanna learn more about it is by using a blimp like vehicle that hovers around 30 miles floating above the venus landscape. But most forms of like cannot penetrate venus thick atmosphere. | 0 |
Cars have been used as the main means of transportation for a long time now, but just because we have counted on it for such a long time doesnt mean there are not better ways. There are a ton of advatages for limiting car usage. Lower emissions, conserving resources, and it make us more healthier are just some of the reaons ways that limiting car usage will improve our daily lifestyles.
To begin with, one of the advantages of limting car usage is improved emissions. Today cities all around are poisioning people with toxic air, cars being the main contributers. But it doesnt have to be this way, some cities are doing things to change. In Paris, after days of near-record pollution, the city enforced a partial driving ban to clear up the global city. Also in Bogota, Columbia has made a difference by incorporating a yearly Day Without Cars. One day out of the entire year is not going to clear up the global air quality but it does opens peoples eyes up to alternative ways of getting around without the use of cars. A businessman even reported that it is a good opportunity to take aways stresses. For the first time, two other Columbian cities have joined in on the event. All of this just proves that cars arent the only way.
In addition to lowering emissions, another advantage of limiting car usage is it would conserve resources. Think about how many cars are in the world. THERE ARE ALOT! So every car in the world uses resources to keep it running, even electric and hybrid cars eventhough they are a great alternative. But most use fossil fuels. The world doesnt have a unlimited supply of fossil fuels. It took millions of years t make the gas we put in our cars. So eventually we will run out and when we do it will take a very long time to get it back. Also think about the generation of people after us. What will we leave behind for them?
Lastly, limiting the use of cars will improve our heath. Before the invention of cars most of the population who walk. Eventhough it would take longer to get from place to place it will benifit use also. American, sadly, is probally the laziest county in the world. You rarely see people walking or riding a bike to and form work on a daily basis eventhough in real busy cities you probally would get to and from work faster cause you wouldnt have to wait in the morning or evening rush hour. Its also ceeper than using your cars, you are going to spend a rediculous amount of money on gas in a year, so think it will help the environment and your wallet.
A study last year has showed that driving by young people has decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. Maybe we are the generation to make the change to other ways of getting around, advantages being lower emissions, conservation of resources, and a healthier you. So just remember the next time you have ot go to the store, just take a bike. | 3 |
The author claims that exploring Venus despite the dangers is a worthy pursuit. Which it may or may not be. They tell us about the dangers in pressure and heat on the surface of Venus and how it may stop us from getting to there physically. The author also explains how we could explore our sister-planet, Venus in a couple ways and tries to put it into perspective for us.
The author starts with talking about previous missions to reach Venus that ended unsuccessful due to Its harsh surface and atmosphere. The atmosphere of Venus is almost 97% carbon dioxide and to add onto that the clouds carry highly corrosive sulfuric acid. Making it difficult already to get a human or anything really through just the atmosphere living. The surface of Venus can average over 800 degrees farenheit along with the atmospheric pressure that is 90 times greater than our own. These conditions are far too much for a human to make it to the surface of Venus which can set back this exploration of Venus.
Moving on further the author states "If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?" He/She answers this question with the thought that long ago Venus may have been just like the earth we live on now. Covered in stable land and oceans, supporting many lifeforms, and maybe vegetation. Reason for thinking this is even today Venus has some features that are similiar to Earth. The rocky sediment surface, valleys, mountains, craters all show similiarity between Venus and earth. The author seems to want a return to Venus because we may be able to find more clues for this thought.
The author sees a return to Venus as indisputable, but questions, "What are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive." They answer this question by proposing an idea by NASA to send humans to Venus. This idea would be a possible solution to avoid the hostile conditions of the surface of Venus. A blimp-like vehicle that hovers over the surface of Venus keeping them from the harsh conditions. An idea like this may work but it still seems like it would still be almost too hot for a person to be safe in. Even 30 miles above the surface of mars the temperature is still about 170 degrees farenheit. Looking down at the surface of Venus from a hovering ship may not be worth it all because you are limited on sight due to the lack of light able to penetrate the atmosphere. I do not think this idea would be worth the time and effort it would take to get there.
In conclusion the author states a few good suggestions that could get us to Venus for exploration but there are also many ways that make this impossible to get a person there. The atmoshpere and surface of Venus just seem too harsh to get an manned aircraft there safely. Not only that I think that even if we did safely get a manned spacecraft to hover the surface of Venus, it would come out as not worth it over all to the lack of exploration that would be completed. I think that we should pursuit studying Venus through unmanned spacecraft simply because it would be too difficult with our technology now to get a person there and back safely. | 3 |
Cars are not widly choosed over walking because things are to close and with less people driving less co2 emissions with is cutting back on the green house effect. 12% of co2 emissions are from cars and passenger vehicals. David Goldberg says '' since world war II transportation id growing quickly. Do to cars and there emissons pair has put a ban on them till the smog they have created clears up. Cold nights and warm days cause the emissions to get trapped in the air. Obama wants to put curb on the cor emissons and all the pollution that its causes. The united syates has long been the prime culture for cars do the birth place of the model T was in Detroit. Cars seem to be the big thing in the united states. Number of miles driven have grew scence 2005. Resources are getting closer and closer every day having none. The united states leads in car emissions. | 0 |
To me driverless cars are just the newest fad. I don't think that they are going to be as great as they are made out to be. If anything, they are counterproductive, and we are going to be taking steps backwards. They are a solid idea in concept, but doesn't mean that pertains when it's actually created.
As a whole, humans have progressively become more dependent on technology. Whether with computers, iPhones, or just in general we are allowing machines to do the work for us. As a result, we as humans have lost our ability to function by ourselves, and are dependent on the things we've created. Driverless cars are just a step closer to complete reliance on technology. And they are closer to being developed and sold now more than ever. Car manufacturers are already making prototypes and test-driving.
If driverless cars take over, where's the fun in having a car? The author even argues, "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn’t drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?","Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays."(Section 8)
The whole point of buying one is to drive it around and show it off. If can't even use it for its purpose, then there's really no difference between a self-driving car, and taking public transportation. Either way, you're not in control of the automobile.
At the moment, driverless cars are still dependent on a person to take over in certain situations. "The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. "(Section 7) This means that while the majority of the work is done by the car, the driver still has to be alert while driving, and pay attention to when they need to take over. I personally think that that's as far as "driverless cars", or just cars in general should go. I don't see the upside to not having to focus on the road other than pure laziness and dependence on technology.
Whether this is the next big thing or not, driverless cars concern me. They don't seem like the right approach to driving. People are already texting and driving because they can't bare to part with their technology. All driverless cars are going to do is promote this dependence on technology, both because texting and driving will no longer be a problem, so people can stay on their phones longer, and because they will no longer have to drive for themselvs. Technological advances in some fields are better than in others. Everything in moderation. Even the best things. | 3 |
This is the 21st century and technology is developing. The future cars and hoverboards may just be around the corner. Dr. Huang and his colleague have developed a new way for computers to communicate with humans. They can now read our face expressions.This is great because we can use it in our everyday lives. We can use it to tell how are friends and family are really doing, If a student understands what is going on in the classroom or not, and for video games.
Family and friends are something that is very close to us and we are always trying to look out for them. Sometimes we just can't figure out what is wrong with them or how they are feeling. Now the computer can help us figure out what is wrong. It would be much easier to just have a computer tell you how they are because of their face expressions then to have a hard time figuring out what is exactly wrong with your friend or family.
This computer can also be used in a classroom. Say a teacher is teahcing the class something new. There is always a kid that doesn't understand but doesn't wnat to say anything because they might get made fun of. Instead, they just sit there and try to undertsand but never do. That's where the computer comes in. The computer would be able to read the student's facial expressions and would be able to change the way that the lesson is being teached so that hte student would be able to understand exactly what is going on.
This computer could also be used for video games. With this computer, you could make the video game expressions more realistic. This would be amazing to do because it makes the game look like it is happening in real life. Video games have came a long way in history and they are still developing. This would be a huge step for video games and I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be the last.
So because of you being able to tell how your family and friends are doing, and because it can help with students being confused in the classroom and because it would help develope video games, the computer should be able to read our facial expressions. | 2 |
Exploring a new planet could be as hard as exploring any planets. Planets have many differences from things we're used to on earth.
In the passage "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author suggest studying venus is a worthy pursuit. Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because Venus is a very close planet to us and is known as the "sister planet" which, means it is close and could be an alternative if something happens to earth. In the passage the author explains how we could adapt if people were to go there "systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." The author also states "Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." Not only mechanical parts and machines, alot of things could be made for people to be able to adapt to Venus.
In conclusion exploring Venus would not be a bad move for NASA because of the possibilities of what could be there and what we could do to adapt there if we had to. Theres alot of things we could do for it to be ok for people to be there and could be an alternative planet. | 1 |
On earth people have gotten so comfortable in their skin but imagine being able to explore a different planet and see the similarites and differences. We would be able to understand a differnt planet and how it corilates to earth. Studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Venus is a worthy persuit because people can study Venus from the closes view and still surivive, trying to sciencefically figure out what Venus has on their planet and how it is like the earth, and lastly that machines to discover what is really happening on Venus despite the conditions.
Studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because people can discover what is happening on Venus and discover something new. The text states, " 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans"(Paragraph 5). The author is stating that there is a way that they can still discover what is really on the planet witout being on the planet to find out. Another reason it is a worthy persuite is because they want to study the planet to find out the similarites and differences. " 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"(Paragraph 4). This quote shows that they want to discover what is going on in Venus because they want to find out if it is really similiar or differnt to Earth. Lastly scientist are trying to make a machine that can withstand the the conditions on the planet Venus. The text states, " Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces"(Paragraph 7). The author shows that these machines are going to be able to withstand the weather and the atomoshpere with the right materials. Without the right materials it is not going to be able to stand on Venus and get information.
Learning about Venus and how it works is worth it depise the dangers it can bring on to it. People can survive seeing Venus by not being so close to the planet, study Venus to figure out the similarties and differences between the Earth, and lastly using machines that have proper material to study Venus in that condition. Venus could bring a lot of history towards us and figure out if its similar to the Earth like they are saying to end the investigation. | 2 |
When it comes to reducing the amount of cars, in any given area, there is multiple advantages. There are many up sides to it, it has a few downsides such as not being able to car far distances...but thats exactly where public transportation comes in. One great advantage to limited car usage is the reduced amount of obesity. When you dont have a car your only other options would be to walk, bike, skate, etc. which helps you lose weight. Not only that, but more parks and sport centers are being constructed. What about traffic? No one likes traffic, so by reducing the amount of cars in a given area, there will be close too no traffic at all. You'd be able to get to work or school on time, not have to worry about finding a parking spot, and generally get to where you need to be in a quicker amount of time. Pollution is as big of a problem as traffic, if not bigger. Many people claim that cars are the main source of air pollution along side with plants. Well, by taking away cars our air will be much fresher and more pleasant to breathe. | 1 |
What exactly is the facial action coding system? Well it enables computers to identify human emotions and expressions. This is an interesting way to understand a indivuals emotional expressions. Children in this mordern day have a tendency of hiding some deep emotions and expressional feelings from their peers,friends,and family. Being able to figure out some of their emotions could save a lot of problems long term.
The worst thing a person can do is hide their emotions from people. This can really lead to a bad depression or other sad emotional syndromes. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto it stated that "Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy,worried, etc." This shows that a person understanding someone emotions is very diffucult. People can hide their feelings really well especially students when even they are having their worst day.
Facial action coding system can really help adults to understand the true emotions of a student. The story says that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human insturctor." This by far is an excellent idea. In the US in today's world a lot of students homework is online. Not even just homework at school but in everyday life it has something to do with technology.
By being said the students that can't comprehend the lesson, there can be an alternative assignment that they can to so at least they are learning something. Doing something that you kind of know and bettering yourself at that is way more benefical then doing something you have no knowledge of. A lot of students don't ask for help when they are struggling with a assignment. Most of the time they either skip it or copy down answer without getting the full structure of the material. If the students are not understanding something in a lesson the material is only going to get way harder for them without any help.
In the end, the facial coding system is a great creation and will be very benefical toward students. Teachers a very educated and have the Knowledge to help the students. If they don't know who is struggling though at all times they can't help every student. | 3 |
Dear State Senitor,
The Electoral College is an ineffeciant way to cast presidential votes. We the people vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. If we were to change to election by popular vote then the elecions would be truly fair. After all, it was said by our founding fathers that we the people are who change the government and the face of our nation. It would lead to more voters and an overall better quality of said electee.
The Electoral college voting system is flawed in many different aspects, such as the chance we take of electing electors that may be biased as much as to betray their pledge and vote for a presidential canidate that you did not vote for them to vote for. Voters cannot control whom their electors vote for.
The Electoral college is unfair to voters and irration in all. It is anachronial and non reliable and should be abolished and replaced. | 1 |
Dear Senator,
I think it would be best to keep the Electoral College process instead of changing it to popular demand. The reason why I think that is because I would rather have political experts who study the two candidates based on the speeches they give prior to election day make the decision on who should be our president rather than random voters across the United States. I personally think that if we keep the whole Electoral College process our country will improve a lot. On the other hand, if we were to use the popular demand process than voters could discriminate against one candidate and choose the other one. On top of that when you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of candidates. So even if one candidate gets picked over the other, their is still a lot of voting left to be done. I think the Electoral College process would be better for the United States as a whole. I also think if we were to use the Electoral College process it would decrease a lot of arguments and controversy across the United States. If we were to use the popular demand process their could easily end up being a tie, where as if we were to use the Electoral College process they judges could come to an agreement as to who won the election entirely. Also, if we were to use the Electoral College process their would be no such thing as a run-off election anymore. Usually when you use the popular demand process one state might get more attention then another state, where as Electoral College process will treat each and every state equally. When using the Electoral College process it would be easier to count up the votes because you only have so many voters, where as with the popular demand process there would have to be over 2 million votes counted up. There are many other reasons why the Electoral College should be used over the popular demand process. So it shouldnt be hard for you to decide on what process should be used during the Presidential elections. That is why I think the Electoral College process should be used. I hope i made your decision a little easier then it was before.
Sincerely, PROPER_NAME | 2 |
The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" pulls the reader in by making them curious about what the planet has to offer. The reader would think, after reading the first one and a half paragraphs, that humans need to do further research and consider the benefits. However, the author unintentionally goes against the arguemen and proceeds to list why this should not happen.
The beginning of the article shows the parallels between Earth and Venus. In paragraph one, the author says, "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and ocasionally the closest in distance too." This makes the reader believe the author makes a compelling argument. Then in the end, just like the beginning, the author circles back to a motivational and positive tone that is not necessarily seen throughout the rest of the article. This is because, in between, there are multiple paragraphs (one of the first containing information about failed spacecraft missions) full of reasons why traveling to Venus would prove dangerous and non-beneficial.
The author seems to list these reasons on and on until the reader seems to forget what the article is about. The benefits illustrated in previous paragaphs are gone and only the difficulties of traveling to Venus remain. The most prominent example is in paragraph 3, when the author states, "[Venus's] conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth..." The author then goes on to explain NASA's point of view and what they are doing to get more research on Venus.
NASA, as the article says, would like to send "scientists to float above the fray." Although the conditions are not as favorable, they seem to be the best option, however, the author tells the reader that there are more difficulties. They explain that the state of the planet makes it hard to see what is actually on the surface. This contradicts the little hope the reader may have that NASA can explore Venus well. Besides the many other ways they are trying to.
After the author lists the final few reasons why exploring Venus is still a viable option, and explaining new and old technological options, they seem to redeem themselves. By the end of the article, the reader gains a sort of fear of traveling to Venus. Instead of the author listing the benefits, like they appeared to want to do in the beginning, the challenges are unveiled, thus explaining why the article is titled, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" and just why it may not, in fact, be a great idea after all. | 4 |
Firstly I thought that the author did a good job writing this essay. Studying Venus is a worthy and risky thing. Scientist know how dangerous the planet is because of how close the planet is to the sun. The reason that I said the planet is so dangerous is because in paragraph 3 it states that "Additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on it's surface". That's a reason of why it's so dangerous to the human studying, like i said it's worthy or risky task to do. Although our planet Earth is be compared to planet Venus in the article, both planets are about the same size and density wise.
Secondly I don't think anybody would survive in such harsh environment planet Venus is in. There are horrible conditions scientist have to think about before exploring it. In paragraph 3 it states that" A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus". Basically it's saying that there's like a shield covering most of the planet covered in carbon dioxide. The temperature in planet Venus is so horrific that suns hottness could burn an entire submarine even when it's in the deepest part of the oceans.
Nasa could be working on other approaches considering to study planet Venus despite the dangers it could bring. Electronics are being made to help such a dangerous exploration. Nasa are making heavy electronics to help guide scientist. They are making them in good heavy armored materials. There are many challenges they have to go through because like I said its a worthy or risky task for Nasa and scientist.
Lastly I think that this type of work should involve like the government and military. Theres literally no way someone could survive in such enviornment or such dangerous weather, like come on in paragraph 5 it states that "At thirty plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Eath". In my opinion I don't think that going to explore a planet such like Venus it wouldn't really be worth it because of how dangerous it could be. The scientist are onlu fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth like planet in our solar system.
In conclusion I don't ever think that the scientist will ever go to the planet. Even if Nasa does and try to create something in the future. The planet is too dangerous anyways. We've seen and read and heard of what that planet has in store for us, the best thing to do is to stay away and work on something else rather than trying to pursuit a dangerous exploration to such a dangerous to such a crazy planet such as planet Venus. | 3 |
m-beleve or not belive e- some people tend to base things on opinions instead of real facts like how people might say ' well how can you be so sure that aliens didn't make the face ' my rebundal would be 'the image first apperared on jpl website revealing ... a natural landform there was no landform . there was no alien monument after all.
l- i can connect this by simply looking at the picture and back couple years and to now how scientist reported no life for is on mars you will be boiled to death because it's also no oxygen so how can an alien create a face when no life form have been found yet.
con- in concluision i want to to say dont always go with assuptions they never always go the way you planned and also dont belive a tall tell ask the person if they have real science based facts if they check out then believe or not belive. | 1 |
Dear mr. senator i think that we should keep the electoral college eclections. I believe the electoral college is a better system than any other. Some of my reasoning is it is the easiest way to elect someone. Second reason is it is very fast quick to elect. Final reason is it work fine. My mom always tells me you dont fix whats not broke. This method has worked for a very long time.
If a method like this has worked thid long i think we should keep it until it doesnt work. Then when it stops working we could start a new type of election. Many people have used this type of election the whole life and we still use it today so i think we should keep this way of our elections. The first reason is it one of the easiest ways to elcet. In the story it says the "electoral college process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors is where they vote for the president and vice president , and the counting of the electoral votes by congress.
My second reason is it is very fast. They get the electoral votes in and start counting. Within a couple of hours they have tha answer. they can find out who wins in just a couple of weeks. My final reason is it works good. If it didn't work good it still wouldn't be around today. in the story it says that the electoral college was established by our founding fathers. So i think this is the process we should use to elect our people even if it is still an old way of doing things. | 1 |
I think that the new software, the Facial Action Coding System, is actually amazing and wierd at the same time. It can be interesting towards some people and not to other because it can make people feel uncomfortable.
Read peoples emotions without the persons consent might make them feel quite vulnerable or uncomfortable. Dr, Eckman has only classified six basic emotions. Happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness were the six emotions. I think that are more than just six basic emotions that need to be taken into consideration. I do agree when Dr. Haung said, "Even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression." Caculating the extent of someones real emotion or expression is very difficult for trained professionals to actually get how a person might be feeling, so how can a computer know? I think just by measuring the persons muscles on their face it can just be a fake smile just looking like a real smile. Using this technology in different locations and settings could be very helpful. If the prodect accuratly can measure exactly how a person might be feeling. They could use it in law inforcment to caculate sadness, happiness, being suprised, or being nervous. When the article says, "While looking in the mirror," it made me imagian myself looking in the mirror and trying the steps. Reading through paragraph nine and seeing, ("Putting on a happy face" actually work!) I completely agree with that statment because acting like you are hapy can actually help you be happy. I know that from personal experience. When I look at other people and see they are sad, I get sad or if I look at people that are excited i get excited.
This new technology can be very effective if it can actually tell the emotions of a person, not just the expression. This invention can help a lot of people understand one another. Understanding one another and ones emotions can lead to more peace in the world. | 2 |
The picture that was tooken by nasa was carefully looked through.
They took a picture of it 10 times to try and get a perfect shot of it.
Although it was it was hard to get because of the blurr that was in the way from Nasa spacecraft.
Nasa first released the photograph to the public on the JPL website. They explanied that the picture was had no alien markings.
Nasa had stated that how could it be an alien if there was no alien mounuments found after all.
After going and getting a picture they tried again when it was summer time so it would be easier to find. The photograph was took in a ditigal image so if anything like airplans or stuff of that short you could see what they are.
Nasa was convinced that it had nothing to do with aliens. On the other hand the public though nasa was trying to lie and cover it up.
What the picture really was just A martian eqivalent of a butte or mesa landforms.
That was very common around the American west. Some people think it mostly reminds them of middle Butte in the snake River Plain of idaho.
There is a lava dome in that spot that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on mars.
The face on mars was clearly a natural landform.
We have over dozens of explainations for it.
All of the explaintions make logocal sense to how the landform of the face was created. | 2 |
Our world had been "centered on the car, and that will have to change" and europe is taking a stand on this subject. europe takes a stand and tryed and experioment on a new suburb and influnses paris to partake in car-free week and all is a rage and influnces colombia to try.
Europe is taking a stand to the enviromenting harm that cars are causing by conducting an experiment. They have now made rules and regulation abut the Parking of cars in the suburban. An artical writen by Elisabeth Rosenthal states " street parking, drivewaysand home garages are generaly forbidden in this experomental new district on the out skirts of Freiburg... Vauban's streets are completly "car free". this is forcing people tio complie and live with a car. Heidrun Walter a media trainer and mothere of two telles the writer " when i had a car i was always tense. i'm much happier thid way". she belive that a car is not nessacery to make her happy and now that her carless she coulf never be greatful.
Car are a handy tool to have but the damage that they are causing our environment is unrelistic. "
paris bans driving due to smo g" by robert duffer enlightens us that " Paris typically has more smog then other european capitals...[last]week paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (pm) per cubic meter comp[ared with 114 in brussela and 79.7 in london". this is a very dis heartining thig that is being caused to our enviroment. luckly people are relizing the damage thate they are causing for generations about ahead of us and trying to solve the problem. paris awhated to try to sovlve the smog issue. paris plan of action was " Public transit was free of charge from friday to monday... the smog cleared enough monday for the fuli9ng french party to rescind the band of odd numberes plates on tuesday". this experiment did not please alot of people but did show the dramaptic effect that not driving for a five day period can positivly hgave an affect on out enviroment.
In corosponding to hearing about all of the enviromantal news for europe. BOGOTA, Colombia decided to participate in this movevment about cars and had a "car-free day"This fananium has spred liek wild fire and is having millions of people participating. andrew selsky tells us " millions of colobians hiked, bicked ,skated or took the buses to work during a car-free day." People are wuilling to suffer with incovelents to help or enviroment for the generations to come. this car-free move ment is not only for the enviroment. Carlos Arturo rode his two seated bick with is wife and told us " it's a good opportunity to takeaway stress and lower air pollution".
These countrys and people are taking steps and leading other epeople in the right direction and creating a better enviroment by participatin in car-free week. | 2 |
There are many advantages of limiting car usage, such as it saves gas and it helps relieve stress. "Its a ood opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"(Car free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota) says a business man that goes by the name Carl Arturo Plaza. There are amny different ways to get from point A to point B and Back to point A in a safe, and helpful way. Such as taking the bus, taxi, carpooling, bike riding, or even skating.
Limiting car usage saves gas because you can use someonjes elses gas instead of your own and you can conserve yur gas when ever you really need to use it to go to the store or get something that you really need later on tin the day when you get bac to point A and see and use your car. "Diesel fuel was blamed, since France has a tax policy that favors diesel overs gasoline. Diesel makes up 67% of vehciles in France,m compared to a 53.3% average of diesel engines in the rest of the western Europ, according to Reuters." (Paris bans driving due to smog)
Limiting car usage also relieves stress for some stressful people. Some people that i know get really flustered ehen they drive and they have road rage, and they have to take pohone calls and get distracted from the road and sometimes some people just need to have someone else take the wheel and they neeed to get themselves together and take a moment and reliEze that. na dnoone needs a stressed driver that just makes all of us nervous.
In conclusion limited car usage is good because it save sgas and is tgood for reliving stress. | 2 |
The Seagoing Program provides many sights and fun times. Luke Bomberger enjoyed the trip very much. Reasons and details of what will be happening on the trip will be in the next couple paragraphs.
What many people may be thinking is there are no reasons. A reason to come is you can see very many exciting sights. Also its a one in a lifetime thing. If you are a sports fan then this is a thing fro you. They play baseball and voleyball.
Now its not done yet because someone out there is probably wondering what kinds of sights. A very facinating sight is the Pacific Ocean. Thats right when entering the Seagoing Program a sight you get to see is the Pacific Ocean. You also cross the Adlantic Ocean.
People are probably just wanting to know a little bit about the program. It is a very long program but it is enjoyable. There are also animals on the ship and if you are chosen to night wachman you have to check on the animals every hour. If its someone that likes animals then that person might enjoy the job.
The Seagoing Program is worth taking part is even if it is a long time. Now that people know a bit more about it more people may take part in it. There are reasons. There are also facts and details about it. | 1 |
Venus, the planet right next to us, but the planet that can never be settled on. Throughout the article ''The Challenge of Exlporing Venus'' The author expresses the dangers and reasons why humans on earth have not been able to explore our neighboring planet. With that fact, the author still advocates for studying Venus and sites evidence for why this is needed. Overall, the author supports the study of the planet Venus because it's studies could inrich new knowledge about it to Earth. He supports this idea by stating Venus is similar to Earth, The study of Venis may allow fetaure pathways to increase it's study, and items learned form the experiment could lead to human settlement on the planet.
The author's claim of studying Venis could inrich new knowledge to Earth is supported through the two planets being so similar to each other. This is so because according to the author the two planets at one time shared similar charcterisics ''The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountins and craters.'' (The Challenge of Exploring Venus, Paragrpah 5) This evidence is relevent to the claim because the author proved that Venis and Earth are alike. Just like Venis, Earth has valleys, mountins and craters. The author's goal is to use this information to better know what this planet is, why it's important, gaining better human knowledge about the panet.
Futhermore the study of Venis is useful according to the author is because the planet could help NASA and other space comapnies in discovering the rest of outerspace. The author belives in if comapnies like NASA study space it would lead to better ways of getting more knowledge about the planet, '' Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribue meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.'' (The Challenge of Exploring Venus, Paragraph 6).
This is meaningful information because it supports inovation in space and what the author invesions of the future. The author's claim is support Venis can be a steepingstone into humans futher knowledge of space. This suports inriching new knowledge to Earth
Finally the author's call for the study of Venus could inrich knowledge to earth because there is a chance that humans could settle on the planet. This can be said because the explorations of Venus could be survivable for humans, ''Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans.'' (The Challenge of Exploring Venis, Paragraph 5) This information that the author gives is motivation for humans to discover the planet Venus because humans in the future could settle on the planet. This would support the claim because in the future if earth continues to have issues with climate change and globle warming there might be exploration to other planets. Having more knowledge about Venus could gives humans a chance in the distant future to inhabit a new planet.
Overall the author suppirts inhabbiting Venus because he or she belives that humans on earth can benufit from it. The author sites in the article that the Earth and Venis are similar planets, increases in techonolgy could go along with the exploration and the study could give humans in the distant future to inhabbit Venus. So the aiuthor looks upright. | 4 |
If you think about it, going on a ship could be dangerous. You could end up risking your life. Do you know how many ship wrecks there have been. That could be bad when you only graduating in high school. You still have, 70 more years of your life to explore, discover, try, and build.
And maybe he could do it but sleeping on a boat? Won't that be uncofortable. I've never slept on a boat but going through all the waves, the boat moving side to side, the sound of waves hitting the boat. You wouldn't get some good sleep.
Some people get sick on the boats. And you have to go through that every single day. The article said it took about two weeks to get across the pacific ocean from the eastern coast of the united states and a month to get to China. That's like sitting in vomet for a month.
What would you have to eat every day. You can't keep food on a boat for a month. The boat would only be filled with food. Unless your going to have the same thing every day. That would be boring. I wouldn't do that!
There had to be a rainy day or even a storm at one point in that month. What would you do all day? You have no internet, you can't really play unless your playing cards. If its raining then it's going to be very slippery. So you would have to stay in place for a while. And when the rain stops, you still need to be cautios that you don't slip
It says in this article that, Luke had to serve the night watching for animals. Will you get any sleep? Will you fall asleep on the job. What i'm trying to say is you need sleep. I couldn't stay up all night and then stay up all day. I would have to take a nap.
Now the reasons I would join the ship. It says that Luke had fun on the boat, the cowboys played volleyball games. They also had table tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling,and games also helped pass the time.
If I had the choice to become a Seagoing Cowboy, I wouldn't go. I would miss all my friends and family. And yes you would have a lot of fun but, you couldn't see your friends. You couldn't see the people you wanted to see. And i'm happy where I live and where I go to school. I never want to leave. But for Luke it was something I guess he wanated to do. He said, he knew its was a opportunity of a life time. Luke cound not say no. | 1 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Often referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. For years and years NASA has been trying to study Venus and despite their pursuits they have failed because of the risks that have occured. Venus should still be studied despite the dangers it presents because one day when Earth becomes overpopulated Venus could possibly be our only option due to how similar the planets are, our travels should go beyond Earth, and although it is dangerous it still needs to be studied.
Years from now Earth will become overpopulated and might be inhapitable; therefore, Venus could be our only option. In the article it says that, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth. The planet has a surface of rockky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetay visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel." Venus should still be studied due to how similar it is to Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy condtions, but survivable for humans.
Our travels must go beyond Earth;although, it has been challenging to study Venus, there will always be risks that come along with studying new things; such as, the planets in our solar system. In the text it states, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has no value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiousity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us. There has been numerous spacecraft sent to land on this cloud-draped world. Although each previous mission was unmanned and no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours does not mean that Venus should no longer be studied. Any planet will have their own dangers, causing there to be obsticles in our path of researching a potential, habitable planet.
Studying Venus will come will dangers and risks; but, our planet got this far because the people in it never gave up on pursuing a new study even if it had dangers of it's own. Venus should still be studied because our travels should go beyond earth regardless of the dangers, one day Earth won't be habitable and it's sister planet will be our only option, and new studies will come with their dangers they still need to be studied. | 3 |
The author starts by giving us examples how Earth and Venus are similar to eah other and giving us information how Venus could be a planet were they used to be life before. He or she was explaning the diffrences how the degrees are diffrent and their higher on Venus but he came to the conclusion that how it could be a livible planet. So on paragrah 5 the author says that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that they have the idea of sending people to explore it so this menas they are actually serious about this. The author explains how they are some bad stuff before sending people so they are comimg up with ideas how the mission can be complete with no failures so this mens that we have the knowledge but we dont have the right things to complete this mission. On paragraph 8 it blow my mind that hes actually right about how we are curios about anything we cant reach with our hands so we try harder to obtain the impossible, we have a huge universe but we will never be satisfy until we reach a dead end. | 0 |
Many studnets use computers in class but ther is also a large portion that do not on a day to day basiss. The thought of computers being able to read expressions is pretty fasinating, however seem unnessisary. Like hummans computers make mistakes; the Facial Action Coding System could inaccutartly change a lesson plan, missread an expression, or not pick up an expression .
At school students do get bored, but the teacher does not change the lesson plan so why should the computer. All the evidence is a prediction with no hard evidience backing it; "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts". In class students ask questions or go to a teacher when they do not get it so a computer would not be much of a help unless it was for kids who did online school and did not have a teacher helping them through the lessons.
Most students are not nessisarly excited about school so they quite regularly wear a bored expression throughout the day. Not to mention "each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no expression)". Some kids just do not show emotion especialy older kids who just want to get what needs to be done finished. What if a kid is genuinly confussed and the computre missreads the expression. that could either cause more confussion as the lesson goes on or make the lesson too easy.
Computers make errors all the time they are no where near perfection. What if the computer does not have the sennsors to pick up expression. It is not like every school or home schooled student is going to go out and buy a computer that can do the same thing a parent or teacher can do. This invention "stores similar anatomical information as electronic code". The Facial Action Coding System is amazing to show expressions in art work, but not for students.
While coputres do aid us at many things there are somethings that should just be left to us to do. Students get confused and bored by many things but that can all be fixed by a little bit of help. If the student is really that confused then maybe that program is not for them. As well as if the student does not show emtion while doing work on the computer. It is a neat idea but it should not be brought into the classroom. Its more trouble than what it is worth. | 3 |
The author states at the very end of the passage, "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". That is powerful. He is explaining that just because we do stuff here on Earth, or just because we find something out does not mean that we stop there. It means we strive and conquer our mission to do more, and here's why.
The scientists want samples, however, that would be very risky. Despite the risks, scientists would have to get up close and personal with Venus. They personally know that there are a lot of risks getting close to Venus. They mentioned that it could melt a spacecraft in a matter of a couple hours. However, they are determined. The author mentioned Venus had a lot of "value", he also stated, "not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors". This has meaning, and what it means is that not only do the scientists want to know about Venus and their ideas may lead to exploring Venus , but human curiosity will also take over and other people will want to know about Venus as well.
In conclusion, Scientists want to know and explore Venus, and normal people are going to want to understand and learn about Venus as well. The scientists need this information to further the progression of learning and experimenting with Venus. They are probably going to do whatever it takes to learn about Venus, despite the dangers and fatal risks of going there. They will more than likely one day get there, but there will probably be a lot of trial and error along the way. | 1 |
My argument for the driverless cars would be against them. I feel like it would be alot that comes with having one of those cars. There are alot of things you would have to do and know in order to stay more cautious then a car you would normally drive yourself.The driverless could also be dangerous in the most simplest ways. There are also alot of things you have to watch out for. All easy ways to get out of somethings are not always the safest.
I feel as if alot would come with the cars because you have to really make sure you know what your doing and keep your eyes on the rode at all times although you should already do that. I also feel like parts for the car would be way more expensive considering it drives on its on. It will eventually become a headache to some who thought it would be easier to just hop in a car that goes on its on , not knowing everything that comes along with the car. Sometimes you have to think about what you really getting before you just hop in it and go. Thats why i said i feel like its alot to come with those cars.
When buying a car like that there are alot of things you need to understand. You will have to have patience and structure. I say that because even though it drives on its own it still needs a human hands on the wheel at certain points and times of the day. Even though the driverless car drives on its own most the time , a human still has to take over when coming upon a construction zone or coming upon a pedestrian maybe even alot of traffic. Its only so much a car can do automatically.
The car could be dangerous because by it not being able to go through certain things it can lead into yourself or somebody else getting hurt. It also can lead into somethings even getting damaged. When driving a automated car you have to be more catious then what you would be driving a regular car. Not all easy ways are the safest ways out of situations especially when dealing with a car. Cars can be a dangerous thing to choose , thats why when you do get a car you should choose wisely and make sure its good for future refferences.
So once again i am against driverless cars. I feel they are not say for people to just drive as an everyday car. I feel as if somebody get one it should only be used for fun in like an empty parking lot or brung out at night when there is really nothing going on. I only say that because not only do i want the person that has one to be safe i want everyone around them to be safe as well. So no driveless cars should not come. | 2 |
Luke Bombeger was a cowboy and also about Luke he crossed so many ocean he can't harley remeber 1 but he did in fact to he remember that some ocean was Pacific and Atlantic and he remember that it was 2 that he crossed those ocean and he said it was affcted with world was 2 and when he said it would also affected with his high school gradulation.
Luke said it was about in august 1945 And he said he did arrived at augest 14 and it was in new orleans
when they arrived.Luke did turned 18 before arriving greece and luke had said he had made at least 9 trips and he said maybe even more trips but he couldnt remember when he couldn't remember when they discharded him in 1947.
He said it took about two weeks about trying to get to atlantic oncan and prafict oncan and he said he fed him self and waterd about 2 time a die and he said so he could be in the war.and he said to his family that you might not see him for not all the time i will be gone for a coulped of years and he has rised the ships and he check out if the family was ok with it.
The family have not agreed with so he deos not want to go but they said what ever you want to do you can do it so he said goodbye before he left to go to the world war two and let them deside if he sould be a gunman and first he set sail and he for got to check if anything was good on this ship and he saw alot of gun powder and he found him self with a bunch of food and water and he said to himself that he was grateful.
So he have made it to the shooting range to test his shooting so he could be in but he was stungling but and then he remember about the book he read about world was 2 when he was a kid and they said not to shake it just check for ammo in it and just take the pull and take it back and you should see if he saw any ammo but he did so he pulled the trigger and went kaboom and he was a good shot and he has went to the world was two sence he did it right in the middle and he was so exitted for passing the shooting range with the 1st bullet and going to the war.
Luke Says That he was going to do good at the world war two and also and he was sending cards everyweek to his family and he says Hello Family i have lerend about alot of stuff about running,shooting,hiding and even made some few friends and some of them helped me shooting mosley and i hope you are not worried because if have been stronger and faster and i lerned how to slide my gun and keep them hostage so they dont shoot me and some of my people died but i am not done giving up yet but im still standing on my feet so from you 18 year old Luke Bomberger And also they give luke some postcards and they do it after he does it. | 0 |
Dear state senator,
I believe we should change the election process. You should change it to an election of popular vote and give the people power to decide not on the electors for the candidates, but just on the candidates themselves. It would be a much easier process, and at the same time, a much less expensive way of electing presidents.
There was a Gallup poll in 2000 that even states that 60% of the population of voters prefered a direct election instead of using the electoral college. That year, Al Gore won the popular vote, but, thanks to the electoral college, he lost the presidency.
Also, the electoral college is an unreliable way to elect the president because the people can't know for sure who chose the electors. Anyone could have chosen them!
This is why we should change the election process to an election of popular vote and let the people decide on the candidates themselves. It would save money by not having so many people in the electoral college to pay and it would be a much easier and fair process. | 1 |
This object on Mars has been theorized to be a face, but there is no way this could represent life on Mars. There are many pictures of Mars and nothing else showed that there could be life. There are many reasons why this is not a factor that shows that there is life on Mars. There is not enough resources, it was shown to be a natural landform after better technology was used, and it is similar to the Middle Butte in Idaho as mentioned in the article.
My first reason, is that there is not enough resources to be able to have life on Mars. There is barely any water except for ice on Mars. There are no plants to create oxygen. There have been no signs of any thing to provide life other than the frozen water as previously mentioned. Most of all Mars is too cold to be able to have life on it. The only way for something to live on Mars is if something somehow adapted to that type of enviroment.
Another reason, is that it was shown to be a mesa type lanform. The first picture was similar to a face because technology was not advanced enough to take a clearer picture. After we made better technology we were able to get a better and clearer picture that shows it was just a landform.
My third and final reason, is that it is very similar to landforms on our planet. We have mesas amd buttes all over our planet. The one that is most similar is in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. Many pictures shown that the "face on Mars" is not real.
All of these reasons show that there is no way that this is a sign of life on Mars. As I mentioned there is not enough resources, it was shown to be a landform, and that it is similar to landforms here on Earth. So there is no way that this is a sign of another form of life other than the life on our planet. | 2 |
I think the value of using this technology to read students' emotional expressions would be a good idea because "imagine being able to detect exactly how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions." You would be able to tell if the are mad, happy, or upset just by using the Facial Action Coding System. With this new technology you will always be able to tell how a person feels instead of assuming or them lying about it. Instead it's just one scan and there now u know their emotions.
For example people have always wondered what Mona Lisas emotions were in her painting but according to computer soft wear she is "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." With the Facial Action ACcording System you will always be able to tell by a person feels. Now the technology is able to calculate how you feel yes "calculate" emotions-like math." Just by using a computer of a 3-D model face it is able to move 44 major muscles similar to human muscles. According to Eckman each person has about six basic emotion happiness, surpised, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.
Dr. Huang says "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression". Another thing Dr. Huang said is "the facial expressions for each emotion are universal" in the painting of Mona Lisa the software was able to identify the mixed emotions. Do you know how you can just look at a friend and know how they are feeling? Well that's basically how the Facial Action Coding System works it is able to tell a person emotion just by scaning their face.
It's a little strange to know that a computer is able to tell your emotions when your happy, mad, or upset. According to Dr. Huang the Facial Action Coding System could be a good thing because " a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Also that "most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication." With this new technology I think it could be very usefull and helpfull for teachers and other jobs as well. | 2 |
It would be unfair to disregard this opportunity from civilians as the right to vote and not give them the chance to prove themselves on whats right for them. This actually improves presidential votes,meaning that electors are recommended to do the responsibilities that the state laws vary. It improves the presidential election and taking it away will cause chaos among electors and presidential candidates. As stated in source three, paragraph one ,"The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral college method is not democratic in a modern sense ... it is the electors who elect the president, not the people." The meaning in this is that people vote for the people who vote people. I see no reason to take away this oppportunity though people are still voting in favor of getting the presidential candidate oneself voted for.
In my point of view i see no reason why you would cancel something without a reason in mind. The states depend on the electors to help out the president during president elections. Civilians demand to take charge on whats right for them or what will be in charge of them throughout the next four years. "Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election....", said richard A. posner in source three.
Though the senator may be right about one thing, some electors become opponents to the presidential candidates and oppose or defy the will of people. The electors will refuse to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote or whomever they please, as stated in source two paragraph 11.
I on the other hand depend on electoral college to proceed and do as they please because they have the right to vote for whomever they please. | 2 |
Venus is worthy pursit despite the damage it presents. Venus is worthy pursit despite the damage it presents because it was once the earths like planet in the solar system. Another reason is because Venus was once covered by oceans. The last reason is because they want to understand why no spaceship has ever made it to Venus to actually try to get samples and other stuff to study it.
Venus was once the earths like plante in the solar system. Scientists want to study venuse even though it dangers to see why its not like it use to be. The old venus was just like earth years ago but then it started changing with the years. In the passage it said that " Astronomers are fascinatesx by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earths-like planet in out solar system" (Paragraph 4, Sentence 2). This means that they are really into the thing that Venus was once like Earth. They want to keep studying it until they have something to compareit to Earth with.
Venus was once covered by oceans years ago. Another reason why sciantists want to study Venus is because Venus was once covered with bodies of water and want to see why that changed. In the passage it said that " Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth" (paragraph 4, sentence 3). This means that they are really fasinated by the way that Venus just went from being bodies of water to having eruptions of volcanoes all the time and earthquakes, and lightning strikes. All these stuff have changed Venus completly and they want to figure out why.
Scientists want to understand why not one single spaceship has made it to Venus without falling apart. In the passage it says that " Not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades" (Passage 2, Sentance 6). This means that they have not been able to make any spaceship land on Venus. Maybe it could be the 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets Venus has or the acid in the atmosphere that Venus has. All the spaceships have not survived the landing for more than a few hours. NASA is also working on other stuff so they can approach Venus such as electronics made of silicon carbide and has lasted for three weeks.
In conclusion people think that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it presents. One reason for that is because it was once the earths like planet in the solar system. Another reason is because Venus was once covered by oceans. The last reason is because they want to understand why no spaceship has ever made it to Venus to actually try to get samples and other stuff to study it. | 3 |
I really enjoyed being a Seagoing Cowboy. It was a really good experience for me and I learned a lot along the way. I think anyone in for an adventure would be an amazing Seagoing Cowboy. You should really be a Seagoing Cowboy for these reasons.
One thing that made it really enjoyable was playing games with the other cowboys after we droped off the animals. We played things such as volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, baseball, and boxing. We also had a lot of extra time to whittle and read. Another thing that we had fun doing was seeing the amazing sights. I have been to an excavted castle in Crete, and the marvolous Panama Canal when I was on my way to China. The place that was most special for me to visit was the Acropolis in Greece. Another thing that was really special was taking a, "gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with steets of water." All of things are a really good experience for people. The last thing that was really interesting was working with the animals. I had some experience from helping my aunt Katie at her farm when I was a child. On the ship we have to feed the animals, give them plenty of drinking water, and clean the stalls three times a day.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is a really fun job to have. I had a lot of good experiences along the way. Being a Seagoing Cowboy " made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs." | 2 |
Driverless cars can be seen as an advantage or a shipwreck waiting to happen. Yes, humans have dreamed of this technology for generations, but is it truly what we need? Honestly, driverless cars could potentially cause more harm than good. They even sound scary: if a person, not in their right mind, can't drive a car functioanlly, then why can a computer? A super being that can't even think for themself? I am against the developement of these cars because they're too expensive to manufacture at a good rate, they require a driver at some point in time, and they're illegal in various areas of the United States.
As explained in the article, two seperate companies already came up with patents for driverless vehicles. They used electrical cables/ magnents within the road to create a path that the automobile could follow. As said in paragraph three, these ideas worked surprisingly well, yet they were too expensive to be practical. This idea was invented decades ago; everything was cheaper back then. Now a days, this idea also seems inpractical. the cost for these "smart cars" will remain insanely costly. the manufacturors will be out money because the people won't be able to afford these high priced gadgets.
I, for one, love car rides when I can't sleep at night. They help me drift off into sleep so easily and in a such a fast manor. Hundreds of people across the globe fall asleep at the wheel of an aoutmobile every week. Even with all the distractions of driving, they can't resist falling alseep. So imagine, having no distractions at all, how easy it would be to doze into that comfortable state of mind. In the article it states that drivers are occasionally needed when the car is faced with a difficult task. If driver drifted off to sleep, a wreck is bound to happen. I also feel as though too many people will put too much faith into their vehicle that they'll become unaware and uncareful about what's going on in particular scenarios that they are needed in, and they'll find themselves in a fateal accident.
What good if a car in a round country trip if it's illegal to drive in certain states? What are people supposed to do if they cross the boarder into a state that disapproves of these new and "improved" vehicles? Just turn around and take another route? It's pointless to have a vehicle you can't take everywhere with you. Laws aren't just made for no reason; they're there to keep the community safe. If it's supposedly dangerous to ride in an un-manned vehicle, then why do it? In paragraph nine, it states that presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. I believe in this law wholey and completely.
In my opinion, driverless cars are unsafe. There are many statistics and facts stating that safety is a huge risk with these vehicles and it's very true. A computer cannot possibly predict how a human mind will act or what a person will do unconciously; these vehicles won't be able to have last minute reactions.
I am against the developement of these cars because they're too expensive to manufacture at a good rate, they do require a driver at some point in time, and they're illegal in various areas of the United States. Driverless cars are thought to be the future; I want no part in such a dangerous place. | 4 |
Join The Seagoing Cowboys! by Xander
Huge waves crashing and hundreds of scared cattle. This is my job as a seagoing cowboy. I want you to join the Seagoing Cowboys because you get to visit exotic locations, you can have fun with other Seagoing Cowboys, and you get to help people and animals.
First, you get to visit exotic locations and see places that you probaly wouldn't see any other time. You can see places like Greece or China. You can see historical places like the Acropolis. These places can be dangerous though because of the war going on so you can possibly injured or worse, killed.
Second, you can have fun with other Seagoing Cowboys or by yourself. You can play sports like volleyball or baseball and many other sports. You can also do fun things by yourself like whittling. The trips to get the animals can be very long and boring and you won't get that much free time only on return trips do you get free time.
And third, you get to help many people and animals. You help hundreds of people get their cattle back. You help save hundreds of cattle from getting killed. You have to clean the animal's stalls and be in very dangerous storms.
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys because You get to tour many exotic locations, You can have fun with other Seagoing Cowboys, and you get to help many people and their cattle. You can help hundreds of people get their cattle back. So join the Seagoing Cowboys today! | 2 |
The author think its a good idea but bad idea at the same time. The author said that it would be a good idea becuase it would help with drivers when they are not paying attention. It is also a good idea becuase it has a sensor on the car that stops the car when the owner doesnt see whats going on. There are also some reasons why it wouldnt be a good idea because the car could one day act up or could stop working and something bad could happen to the person. I personally think its a good idea because it will help with drunk drivers. It also has a GPS systme that helps people find where they need to go instead of having to use their cell phones.
The only thing i would worry about is if it stop working while i was driving. For example, if a car were backing out of the driveway and i didnt see it i could get into a car accident. If the brakes stopped working and i wasnt able to stop at a stop sign or stop l ight i could aslo get into a car accident that way. It aslo would help save money, because you wouldnt have to pay for gas. They can steer by themselves and they can also accelerate by themselves. There is a camer on the back of the car and it would help people if they were backing out of the drive way see if anyone is coming or not. It is also compuer controlled.
It alerts the driver if there is a road block ahead or an accident. their cars have been driven and their cars have yet to get in an accident. They alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues.General motors created a concept car that could run on tracsk that were embedded with an eletrical cable that sent radio signals to a reciever on the front end of the car. Toyota Prius made a camera with a sensor that helped with being able to see behind you. There are also anilock brakes and driver assistnace. In 2013 BMW made a car that can handle speeds up to 25 miles an hour.
There are also sensor on the wheel of the BMW to make sure the driver has theor hands on the wheel. Laws are focusing on keeping drivers safe and also pedestrians. In most states like California, Nevada, Florida, and the district Columbia it is illegal even to test computer controlled cars.Tesla is releasing a computer controlled car in 2016. I also think it will help with our future and how it will become. | 3 |
The new techonology tht is called Facial Action Coding System is beinng use to identify human emotions. If this were to be used in a classroom some kids might not want to be scanned and have there emotions known. So I honestly think that this machine or new piece of techonology should not be used in classrooms and heres why.
To start it off I can already tell that some kids will not want there emotions to be known. That's something that the kid is able to keep a secret. If the kids doesn't want there emotions to be known then he or she has the right to not let them be known. Now in paragraph 6 a quote from Dr. Huang "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Now although it is true that some kids may need help for the work that there doing. They may not understand it and that's where the computer comes in. But the teacher can't just scan the kids face and have the computer do all the work. The teacher has to also know when a kid is having troube with the material. Obviously it's almost impossible to know how every student is doing but if you see a kid getting bad grades on the material then the teacher should help the student out. That goes back to if the student actually wants to be scanned to identify his or her emotions.
A quote from Dr. Huang " The facial expressions for each emotion are universal, even though individuals often show carying degrees of expression." That's is also another thing that I want to talk about. The teacher really has to care for his or her students. It's the teachers job to make sure that a kid is doing good in school. I do understand that there are some kids that just don't even try. Those kids are difficult to make them succeed. But for the other students the teacher has to know if he or she is having a bad day. You could ask whats wrong and if the student doesn't want to tell you then they don't have to. But the teachers have to make sure that the student knows that the teacher is there to help. Now although some kids hide there expressions really well I guess that's
when you would want the maching to scan there face. But as I keep saying only if they want to. The teacher might have a problem on knowing how a kid feels and knowing there emotion. But if the student doesn't want there emotion to be known thats what the kid wants. In many ways we don't need a maching to help with human proteries. Thats why humans talk to humans anout there emotions not humans talk to machines.
I hope that this new techonology is going towards high schools. In this day and age so many high schcoolers are going through alot. It doen't take a rocket scientist to know how a student feels when it's finals week. There are situations where the teacher doesn't need to know how a student is feeling. The only time where a student needs to be scanned is when that student is having trouble on a material and if the student actually wants to be scanned by the Facial Acton Coding System. I want to talk about this quote from paragraph 6 from Dr. Huang "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." The fact that a computer needs to explain the work to a student is just wrong and dumb. That is why a teacher is in the classroom. That's why the teacher went to college to get her degree and work with students. We all know that there are bad teachers in this world. The teachers where all they do is give you a packet and ask for it finished tomorrow. The teachers where they do a horible job at explaining the material. Then and only then will I be good with having the Facial Action Coding System scan the kids faces. Thats is when the computer will help out the students and teach them the material that the teacher can't do. That is the only time I think that is okay to use.
So there are
my thoughts on why this should not be able to scan the kids faces when in a classroom. I honestly feel that the kid has the right if they want to be scanned even if the kid is having trouble in the class and if the kids emotions are easy to be seen that's is when a teacher comes and helps.So no this should not be in classrooms. But I do think that it could be used in other better ways. Like in a police forece where they scan the person who did the crime to get information. But not in a classroom. | 3 |
I say that the auther did do really good supporties his idea .Somethings he says about venus being a worthy persuit despite the dangers is that venius is the closest plannet to the earth in the terms of its density and the size of venus.Venus iand mars orbit the sun a diffrent speeds witch means that we are either closer to mars at times ands closer to venus were not always just closest to
one of them.It
says that " humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world".So that shows that we have sent thing up there.But each of the missions have been unmanned ,and they say it was for good reasons.
They put into detail that "Venus's reputation as a challenging planet fir humans to study,despite its proximity to us". They state that it is challenging to study venus but they have been trying there best and they are getting there.Slowly but there getting there.They know that the atmosphere of almost 97 percent of carbion dioxide is over venus.What dosent help with sending spacecraft up there is the thick clouds that vinus has.and that is is 800 degrees up there also.The auther alos states that the pressuer on venus is 90 times greatee that what we have experience on out plannet. The author also states that "that the conditions are far more exstreme than anything humans have encounter on earth on earth". Venus is the hottest surface tempature out of any of the plannets i the universe.(NASA) wants to send a humans up
there to study venus.They thimk if they can get them to just float
above the fray they should be fine.And be able to study venus without getting hurt. | 1 |
Dear State Senator,
The Electoral College should be kept despite it's lack of giving people a chance to speak up. Although, the Electoral College is a "non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner.. it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for a presidential canidate you're actually voting for a state of electors." Yes this may be true but, have you thought that they created the Electoral College to help citizens live better? What if, someone with no education comes to vote and chooses someone who wants to take away government funds away from school's? Wouldn't that affect us? In other words, you want to ruin school's life by taking away funds and it doesn't really have to be school it can be anything just beacuse, you had no idea who you were voting for? The Electoral College does allow us to vote, but they make sure we aren't choosing someone who can affect the United States drasticly.
"The Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potiential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state, knowing that their vote will have no effect but of course no voter's vote swings a national election, and voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election."(Source 3) Brings me back to one of my claims, yeah you do want to vote, but what if you don't have no education but you want to vote just for the hell of it? Without the Elecoral College your vote will count, as well as others and the group of senators won't be there to make sure you don't choose whomever and make a horrible decision. Although the Electoral College makes it seem like your vote won't count believe it or not, the Electoral College atually makes the most suitable decison for us, the people. Without the Electoral College, we'd have probably different world.. meaning they fix our choices dumb or not, they come together and they choose what's best for us whether we,the people have an effect on it or not.
Despite the fact, our voice may not be heard as loudly as the state of electors, we still have an impact, and without the Electoral College it may be a drastic impact. The Electoral College should be kept, and not changed into the most popular vote wins. You don't just vote once and hallieluja, there is a process and that's where the Electoral Colleg takes hand and make sure we choose someone mosly suitable. The Electoral College should be kept, it is very helpful despite it's cons...

Some reasons why being a sea cowboy is a good idea. It is very occupational, working the stables and feeding the animals makes the trip seem less long. There are very many sights to see, such as, taking relaxing gondola rides in Venice, touring excavated sites like the elegant castles in Crete, seeing the famous Acropolis in Greece. There are many more exotic and beautiful structures to be seen as a Seagoing Cowboy. Along the way gift shops and antique stores that can be visited and bought from.
Places like China are availible to visit and see. The program has all of these offers as well as delivering all of the animals that are on board with you. This is an even greater opportunity to young men who have just come out of high school, it can open things up for them. Help them realize and be aware, that there are other people who have needs in other countries. After it's all over, you can take another trip if you wish to.
Being a sea cowboy means more than just moving animals from place to place. It helps others in need, people who have nearly nothing. Being a Seagoing Cowboy can make all the difference. That is why being part of the Seagoing Cowboys program is a good career choice. | 2 |
First things first, I cannot actually picture this type of technology in schools, let alone actualy working. People including me can easliy be feeling happy or sad or any other emotion without showing signs of it in their face. Not that I do it on purpose but it is hard to crack a smile unless I'm laughing which is rarely. Most of the time I will just have a blank face untouched by emotions so how would a computer be able to read how I'm feeling? Half the time I don't even know how I'm feeling myself. I can see this technology being installed in schools and other places only for it to wrongly tell me or others such as teachers how I'm feeling. I can picture it now, I'm sitting in silence writing an essay over something stupid such as the one I'm doing now and all of a sudden my teacher is alerted that I'm confused or bored maybe even sad a little only to have to argue that I'm in fact all right and fine. Sounds like a pain to me.
Chapter 6, line 6-8 states 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." I see a point here and it would be very interesting to see if this worked on a class but I'm still unfazed. What if the computer did do just that but unknowingly to it the kids were in fact not bored or confused in the slightest? Then the lesson once taught would be changed making it harder for the kids to learn and get the knowlede they need.
Another example is in chapter 6, line 10-12 said by Dr. Huang "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," "So computers need to understand that, too." I'm no doctor but Huang is so he probably does have a point here. Most human communication is nonverbal and that might be true to a lot of people but do computers really need to understand our emotions because of it? I for one do communicate verbally I don't understand how else you could communicate. If i'm feeling a certain way I'll speak it if approprate. Computers don't need to know your emotions for any reason it is a computer not your significent other. If someone is on a computer they are probably working on something or killing time and goofing around none of which call for the device to read how you are feeling.
In conclusion I find the new technology quite useless and not worth the time. As interesting as it is and I would like to see it in person and test it myself, I think computers are computers and don't need to know how I am feeling. Why should it know? It's my emotions not its and I can't see it actually being able to read how I am feeling when I don't even know how I am feeling. Therefore I am against it. | 3 |
The Facial Action Coding System is very valuable for classrooms because if it is able to tell if students are confused or bored it could help students learn better and make school better for them. The system can check and see if the student's face muscles are a certain way which lets the system know how the student is feeling at that point. It describes Leonardo da Vinci's painting Mona Lisa as "83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry."
The Facial Action Coding System uses video imagery to track the facial movements. Dr. Huang's new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, and then it could modify the lesson,like an effective human instructor." It says that "Your regular home PC couldn't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile."
The Facial Action Coding System can even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a real smile. To tell if it is a genuine smile it says "the zygomatic majors lift the corners of your mouth, and meanwhile, the muscles called orbicularis oculi pars palpabraeus make crow's-feet around your eyes." This could be very helpful in a classroom to tell if students need help or if they need some more things to do if they are bored. | 2 |
The Face is not created by aliens but is a natural landform.
Many people may think that the aliens created it to show their is life on mars.
Sadly we have discovered that it was just a natural landform.
The face like I said was just a natural landeform.
In the text it says, "Thousands of anxious web surferes were waiting when the image first appeared on
JPL web site, revealing . . .a natural landform.
There was no alien monument after all."
On the webstie the image appeared just to be a landform that was not man-made.
The text also says, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a mutte or mesa-landforms common around the American West."
A scientist named with the last name of Garvin said, "Thats's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same hight as the Face on Mars."
These statistics in the last paragraph should show that this
Face was not created by aliens but are natural landforms.
To conclude the Face is, ". . .a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa. . .".
Aliens may exist but the Face did not have anything to do with them. | 1 |
The story I read is called Unmasking The Face on Mars. I will conveince people that it was not created by aliens. That it was a natural land form amd mothing else.
The face on Mars is a natural land form that is just rocks and the shadows that made it look like a face. The way the rocks were fromed they made it look like a face when it really was not. The shadows from the planet also played a part in the story. It gave an illusion that the eyes, nose, and mouth peolpe just wanted to make a big deal of nothing.
The way the people tried to make it bigger than what it is that makes people more hype and they are going to think that it life on Mars. There is nothing on Mars like an other life froms. It was just a crazy story that somebody made up to get people to panic or take intrest in nothing. All they did was make free addvirstivement for NASA thats really all they did.They was all over the place they was in magazines, books, Hollywood films and haunted grocery store checkout.
Some of the scientist wanted it to be a alien artifact but they knew it was not. If it was aliens it could have been big for the NASA funding. They could have had a lot of money to buy more stuff to get more on the face. It had to shoot threw clouds to see the face so the clouds could have made it look like a face. It was also winter time so that could have played an important part in the Mars face story. If thier're is any thing there you would have saw it in the image three times bigger than the pixel size. If there was a plane on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even a small shack, you could see what they were.
Thats why there is no aliens on Mars I think it would never be any life in Mars. If there ever was any life on the Red Planet it would have been found. There will never be life on Mars as I am concerned. | 2 |
A life filled to the brim of better days is what we all want, and limiting car usage has some of these advantages. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,' said Heidrun Walter. The sound of children outside of the pollution free community is much more satisfying then getting somewhere with dangers involved. A life without cars is less stressful and more free to explore in safety. Driving tends to make drivers uneasy for fear or crash or being late to work from traffic.
"Mr. Sivak's son lives in San Francisco and has a car but takes Bay Area Rapid Transit, when he can, even though that often takes longer than driving." Clearly being late to work and stressed is not something people favor espically when getting to work for free is possible. "Public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday, according to the BBC." Instead of spending thousands of dollars expecting an easier lifestyle your neck rests on the chopping block with the blade ever silently above until it completes is mission. Having this ability feels like freedom but it's actually just a fear inducing, death causing machine. A simple healthier life on a bike seems more enjoyable, and even more so when it promotes good health and your life.
"In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway." Not one person can really enjoy a twenty or fourty minute drive to a mall or anywhere for that matter. It's a waste of time, money, and life. Taking a 5 minute walk to a mall is much more beneficial to your body and health than adding gas to your lungs, and it's quicker too. "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." Children playing outside instead of inside on their new tablet could be our future again. Parents don't have enough time to spend thirty minutes driving to a park when their child seems content on their fancy iPhone 6. Shopping is also a favorite anywhere, but it seems to be drifting online. Taking five minutes to walk to the mall and save money on not buying a car or spending money on shipping will give more money to buy stuff! A bonus is no more wrong clothing sizes or ordering a lotion that smells like toliet water. Ease of lifestyle is a desire that can be fulfilled when waving goodbye to miles of road and hello to a new jeans that fit for once.
Pollution is a horrible topic that everyone wants to stop, however everyone is ignoring one of its sources. "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." It sounds like Earth is becoming like the movie Wall-E, and next stop is a ship in space leaving this trashed planet behind. Paris is setting a great example at trying to remove pollution for healthier living and a better environment. The United States has clearly been challanged and in its effort to be the best it followed suit, "...It will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the evironment." It is hard to imagine a healthy ecosystem with flourishing plant and animal life in our current situation. With Paris and the United States assisting in the idea of other transpot methods not only will animals have a better chance at not becoming extinct but so will the human race. Dying of pollution will no longer be a concern and money spent on poison can go to lifes other pleasures.
Happiness, fast travel, no pollution, and more new stuff sounds like owning a car right? Carlos Arturo has a taste of the sweet life, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Sadly this is not what a car provides because in fact it only reverses these good things. Despair sets in with fourty minutes waiting in traffic while clouds of gray swirl into the sky returning a shirt that didn't fit. Reconsidering the advantages of having a car and considering the advantages of limiting car usage is the right way to live a perfect life. | 4 |
Driverless cars sound like a really good deal, right? A person doesn't have to drive all the time, they don't have to use up all their money on gas, and they don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a car because the driverless car is a form of public transportation. The development of driverless cars should be a good beginning to the future.
The making of driverless cars isn't for a person to buy it, though it could be possible. The driverless car is a form of public transportation for everyone to use and be a part of. The car is loaded with sensors that will know when and where to be on the side roads, highway, and main roads to get the passenger to their destination in a safe and effeciant manner. Also, in the driverless car, a passenger will have a bit more privacy than on a public bus or in a taxi. The car does have a camera for saftey reasons, but they aren't distracted by lots of other people.
Another useful part of the driverless car is it will use half the fuel to run than public transportation does today. Using less fuel is not only environment friendly, but it saves money. This means the driverless car doesnt have to stop as often for gas as a normal car would. The "driver" of the car also doesn't have to drive all the time. Although, the driver does have to be alert the entire time just to be sure that there arent any difficulties. The driverless care will notify the driver if there is a difficulty like "pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues."
The driverless car is not perfect, though. If there is a wreck in a driverless car, whose fault is it? Would it be the driver or the car? Do you have to switch to a different driverless car if you want to go a certain distance? These questions are still awaiting to be answered. An accident in a driverless car can be from the driver missing an alert or the car malfuntioning and not alerting the driver at the correct time. There could be different types of driverless cars, like a certain type for the highway and one for in a city. These questions are not yet answered in certainty but will be soon.
Although the driverless car can have son setbacks, it is still a postive impact for the future of the world and the way we will live. The driverless car is the start of a new world. They are in the near future for us and could help virtually everyone who is a part of it. | 3 |
Personally, I feel that the technology called the Facial Action Coding System is not valuable. It may seem interesting that a computer can tell what emoitons someone one is feeling, but it doesn't make it valuable. We can also tell what emotions people feel too.
This technology that they are using only calculates what emotions they feel. For example, in the first paragraph it says, "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." They've used a computer to analyze what the Mona Lisa was feeling in the portrait. The computer predicted but is not all accurate. She might have felt more fearful than happy. Most facial expressions are universal. That meaning, that if someone smiles you can't think right off the bat that they are happy. They may feel hurt therefore not so happy as you thought.
What's the point of the technology if us humans can tell how a friend is feeling, based on the look of their face. We may not be 100 percent accurate, but we may know how they feel. For example, say you've known someone for a while now, you would probably know what their expressions look like. The only thing you won't know what their thinking but you will know what they feel. Another thing we have an advantage on, is the way our friend speaks. Emotion isn't just based on our looks, it can be based off of the way we speak too.
On the other hand, I also feel that the technology can useful too. I feel that it can be well used in painting espically in a portrait. I say that because it can be difficult to see what a person felt in the portrait. The technology that they use can be used to scan the portrait and tell us what they might have felt. It can go though a deep scan and could scan the 40 major muscles that we have on our face that shows our expression.
In conclusion, I personally feel that the technology called the Facial Action Coding System is not valuable. Eventhough we can't fully tell what somone is feeling we can still predict. The technology that they use is also predicting. It's just more accurate. Therefore it's not all that useful to us. | 2 |
This is a vey informative article but i would like to list most of the key ideas inside of it. i would like to inform of the positive and negatives
In the article there are many diffrent forms of evidence towards using this new technology in the classroom but i feel that some stick out more than others. In parargraph 6 the author told of the technology using our facial expressions to calculate whether we are bored or confused and i feel that,that is a very good idea. As a high school student i can relate to the lesson getting boring, confusing, or just too fast pace. I feel that if this machine was used to help make an ideal lesson plan for each student the percentage of students passing would increase. I would love to have something as inovative as this technology inside of my schools classrooms.
I do support this but ; however, there is some things about this that do concern me as a student. Some students could be angered by the use of this new technology and want their old lesson plans back. Some students like the fast paced lesson plan and will get bored of the change. in some communitys this would not be avaliable due to money problems. For the time being i think we should leave the schools how they are until we can finally bring this in for students in the future when its more avalible to everyone.
In conclusion i feel that we should just leave everything as it is in our schools. i feel that the lesson plans have worked for over 60 years and they will continue working. i like the idea but i feel that its too ahead of some schools with low money. | 2 |
I am against of using the new technology software to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because I think it doesn't really matter to know how the students' emotions are unless they are getting work done and participating then its fine but other than that I disagree on having this technology to be used on students to know there emotions. If a student is feeling down you would really notice by their participation in the classroom and their facial expression if the student is into anything but if not why is it so important to just look real quick on the software of how the students emotional expression is? This new software thing is really cool and interesting in some way because its great how someone is able to create technology software to see how someone really feels when they are taking a picture if their " happy, sad,angry,exhausted" that's very interesting to find out,but i only think its not really a big of a deal to even to study it on students. So I strongly disagree to this option. I also would like to add I think it would be interesting for students to use as an essay in class for like a history class to do a project like this for any assignment because its very interesting to see examples as Mona Lisa really felt the day they took these photographs that made the picture so famous:how did they really feel. It would be a very enjoyable assignment for students to do. | 1 |
The planet, Cydonia was discoved to have a face-shaped figure that stretched two miles long! Although some people believe that alien-life or some life-form has occurred or is still occurring to this day. I believe that the face figure is just another natural formed landmass like several we have on earth. For instance the Middle Butte found in the Snake River Plain of Idaho has a lava dome which takes form of a messa.
In paragraph eleven of "Unmasking the Face on Mars", Garvin says, "As a thumbs rule, you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger then the pixel size, So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what there were!" This explains that there is no way of showing or providing any evidence of aliens or lifeform on Mars.
The author also mentions that Garvin says, "It;s not easy to target Cydonia. In fact, it's hard work." In this paragraph nine it also consentrates about the angle it is looked apon. I feel like if it was hard to find the perfect angle and measurements to take a closer look at the face, there could have been mistakes made without realization.
Even though no one knows whether or not if there was or life on Mars or if there still is. The likelyhood of this theory is very low. There would have to be a water supply, nutrients to feed off of, sunlight, shelter, etc. for any living organisms to survive.
Everyone should be allowed to have their own beliefs, but sometimes people believe in things that are hardly believeable. This could help save time and convience for in the future whenever NASA finds solid evidence that there is no evidence of aliens on planet Mars. Even if NASA would like the fundings for finding existance of lifeform, it would also be a great discovery that there isn't because they could narrow the list of safe planets us ,humans, could live on if there was any kind of diaster to happen to our planet. | 2 |
Driverless cars. Once yesterday's dream is slowly becoming reality. Driverless cars are on the horizon. There's certainly good reason to be excited, but these unpiloted vechicles are still a good while off, if they are to live up to the first word in their name, "driverless". Driverless cars should only be used if the car itself can handle the vast majority of the problems it would face on the road.
Truly driverless cars are driverless, not requiring a driver at all. Today's driverless cars can only perform under few conditions, one being able to handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 miles per hour. Certainly not ideal in today's society. They need to notify the driver when the road requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. Driverless cars should only be used if the car can handle 95% or above of the driving functions. Getting the driver's attention constantly would be very annoying to the driver, who bought the car so they wouldn't have to do any driving in the first place. Some situations are understandable, I'm sure most drivers would agree, but I would not want a "driverless car" if it can't drive itself. The people interested in these types of cars would want entertainment so they don't have to just stare out the windshield the whole ride, so entertainment options should be available while not sacrificing safety. An added bonus of appealing to a larger market would be to have the option to turn off the artificial driving, and control the car yourself. Not only could it be deadly if something went wrong, but totally relying on the car doing the driving for you, after some time, would ensure that your driving skills are low, thus even more danger if the car malfunctions. Traffic laws currently are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. Those laws will change if driverless cars can prove themselves to handle situations on the road, safely. On the issue of liability, we should let laws be put in place before the cars are released to the general public. That way, there is no question who's falt it is if someone's driverless car hits a driver controlled car, one with no option of being driverless or vice versa.
In conclusion, driverless cars should only be released if they meet the safety standards necessary to meet government regulations, while providing the consumer with entertainment, that can easily be turned off by the car if there is a rare situation the car cannot meet. These cars are the cars of the future. Why not make them the best that they can be? | 3 |
