conformity can be defined as the process of adhering to the accepted standards of behavior and beliefs that are shared by a particular group or society it is often seen as a necessary and beneficial part of societies as it can provide structure and a sense of belonging however when taken too far conformity can lead to the deadening of individual creativity and energy i agree that this is the case and in this essay i will discuss why i believe this to be true to begin with strict conformity can lead to the suppression of individual thought expression and creativity for example in some societies there are strict rules dictating what people can and cannot do and say as well as what they can and cannot believe in this can have a stifling effect on people s individual creativity and energy as they will be discouraged from expressing themselves freely and thinking outside the box consequently they may end up feeling like they are living in an oppressive environment and become apathetic and unmotivated moreover conformity can lead to a lack of motivation and ambition when everyone is following the same standards it can be hard for individuals to challenge themselves and strive for improvement this can lead to a decrease in their energy and motivation as they do not see the need to go above and beyond what is expected of them furthermore it can create an environment of complacency where it is easy to become content with the status quo and not strive for more finally conformity can lead to a lack of diversity which can hinder individual creativity and energy when everyone is adhering to the same standards and beliefs it can be difficult for individuals to think of new ideas and find inspiration this can lead to a decrease in originality and creativity as well as a lack of motivation to explore novel ideas in conclusion i believe that conformity can lead to a deadening of individual creativity and energy this is because it can lead to the suppression of individual thought and expression a lack of motivation and ambition and a lack of diversity dltimately if we want to foster creative and energetic individuals it is important to ensure that conformity does not become too restrictive

i have a friend who is a teacher and he said something recently that made me think of the importance of giving teachers jobs he was quoted something that went something like this the students aren t reading the books any more they re just clicking the play now button they are not reading the books only playing that seems a bit ironic but is it the way we teach students has been and is designed to engage them so if our methods are failing them how are they supposed to learn from the books and the materials in this age of online learning at this point teachers already know the truth most of their students are not reading the materials i have a couple of other students that use reading as a crutch but all of them can read it it is their lack of comprehension that is causing them to come across a problem and need the teacher s help they don t understand what they need to do on the test they just need more time in the context in which they need to solve something the problem is most of those students are not reading the materials that teachers are using as part of their instructional plan we can have multiple grade levels using multiple versions of the same material simultaneously in multiple ways it is impossible for them to understand the material if they do not know the terminology we can do whatever we want in class to help our students we are trying to engage our students but students are more interested in playing than in learning so we need to change to what works most teachers are not reading the same information in the same way and they need to be most of these students are not reading the material or know the terminology so that they know which book they need to read and are able to read it if we get out of the way and think about how we teach then we can start to come up with a plan and create learning resources that work with our students you ve got a problem you need help here s to thinking more outside the box and giving students how they do learn by actively engaging like this like loading

florida senators the electoral college is an unfair process with multiple presidents winning the popular vote and losing their presidency it is undemocratic myself along with many other people across the state believe that elections should be based on popular vote rather than the decisions of electors although the electoral college has its advantages i believe that a majority vote by the people of the united states would be more accurate as well as fair the electoral college is a winnertakesall system meaning that candidates spend lots of time campaigning in the saint states rather than others in seventeen states didn t even tet to see the candidates this means that almost of voters didn t tet a real feel for whom they will be casting their votes for even though presidents should focus their time on bit states with later populations it is unfair to the smaller states who don t tet any visits from their candidates with the electoral college system voters vote for a slate of electors rather than the presidents themselves this means that when you cast your vote for barack obama for example you are not voting for him you are actually voting for a certain number of electors who contribute to the candidate s electoral votes electors can be anyone not in public office and they are usually chosen by the state this is a corrupt system because the electors could be anyone and change their ideas to not reflect the views of the people in louisiana legislature segregationists almost replaced all the democratic electors with new kennedyopposint electors the errors and problems in this system could be much treater and government officials must be monitoring it at all times in the event of an electoral college tie the president election decision would be given to the house of representatives and the vice president decision to the senate this doesn t seem too terribly bad but one representative from wyoming would be representing voters and would have as much say as the representatives representing million people inhabitant california this is not fair because of the widespread views of people in each state there cannot be one candidate that the whole state trees on as people s ideas differ across the states there are many reasons to keep as well as dispose of the electoral college the negatives outweigh the positives and a popular vote would be more democratic we are supposed to be a democracy and democracies thrive on the views of the people instead of electors

it is true that our modern society is often referred to as a throwaway society due to the excessive amount of plastic bags and other nonbiodegradable materials we produce this has led to an increase in landfill sites the destruction of habitats and an increase in plastic pollution in our oceans i believe this is a serious problem that needs to be addressed and that we should work towards finding a solution to this issue firstly the amount of plastic bags that are used and discarded on a daily basis is incredibly concerning plastic bags are often seen as a convenient solution for carrying items however the majority of them are not biodegradable and can the hundreds of years to decompose this means that these bags will pile up in landfills pollute the environment and can even be hazardous to animals even if we are able to find a way to recycle them many of these bags end up in the ocean where they have been documented to have a devastating impact on marine wildlife secondly while it is easy to blame the individual for being wasteful we also need to look at the larger corporations and governments that produce and distribute these materials to consumers companies are often putting profits before the environment and are not held accountable for the damage their products cause governments should be regulating the production of plastic bags and encouraging businesses to invest in more sustainable alternatives such as reusable bags or biodegradable bags they should also be investing in research and infrastructure to help reduce the amount of plastic waste and increase recycling although it may seem life an overwhelming problem i believe that change is possible and that we can develop better solutions to our throwaway society if we all work together to reduce our consumption of single use plastics pressure corporations to develop more sustainable products and encourage governments to invest in sustainable initiatives then we can mah a real difference in our environment

how do you get started with coding many people ask this question all the time well we will not be doing any sort of programming instead i will be taking a step back discussing what the coding languages can teach you and what the programming landscape looks like now the first thing that you should know is that not all programming languages are created equal c in particular is a high level object oriented language this is one of those languages that you might think of more as language than language this is a great language because it brings a lot of things it provides all sorts of object oriented mechanisms into your application it provides static typing it provides good memory management it has lots of great features so is that enough to get you started absolutely not and i will try to explain why i will describe why c can be daunting for someone new to programming i will also mention a few languages that might be worth considering to get started c java and javascript are some examples of languages that are great starting points they are relatively similar to c as discussed above they all are imperative languages and therefore use most of the same mechanisms they are also fairly popular languages another great language for someone who is just wanting to get started with the language is ruby it supports many of the features found in c and c i do not recommend ruby in any way other than that it is fairly popular there are many other languages that are worth considering as well there are some great tools for learning a new programming language and there is nothing more valuable than a good and solid learning resource here is a list of resources worth trying i apologize that this list is not comprehensive i would like to give a shout out to my friends on twitter i want to give you more knowledge than just the code and hopefully you will enjoy the journey and the information that i have written here coding pizzas int main while printf what is your name y n std cin advertisements

for the past several months it has been difficult for anyone to imagine that former president barack obama would be president again even more difficult than that no president democratic or republican has ever been impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors that occurred before the age of as obama has become the subject of the investigation of james comey the newly named deputy director of the fbi now those same democrats have started to whisper conspiracy theories about trump s relationship with russia a lot of democrats are beginning to imagine that he and russia are on the same team maybe trump is a kgb agent maybe trump is a russian spy it doesn t matter rep eric swalwell d calif said during the the breakfast club on siriusxm progress on thursday whatever it is it s a serious concern and it s time that people say it trump has publicly denied any improper relationship with russia and in his most recent meeting with congressional leaders comey said that the president wasn t being investigated for any potential connections to the country during this time but swalwell is sure he isn t being investigated for anything look everybody who s in this position knows that it s going to come from the top down they re going to talk about it on tv they re going to talk about it on radio swalwell said it s going to come from russia it s going to come from the media it s going to come from a lot of people and it s going to come from a lot of people he continued and again who knows the truth that s why we have the constitution this stuff hasn t come from someplace else on earth the former senator and representative said he d like the intelligence committees in congress to investigate any possible connections but that if it turns out they have nothing people need to just shut up i think we need to say hey we have had investigations for two years we ve conducted hundreds of briefings on this and every single one of those individuals said there s nothing here there is nothing swalwell said now let s just shut up he concluded i mean nobody needs to get impeached over it

dear principal i think that policy is the better choice for or school here s why first it s important to acknowledge that cell phones are a big part of or lives now everyone has one and they re really useful for communication and learning with policy we can still is or phones during lunch and free time which means we can stay in touch with or friends and family and look ip information for or school work second if we re allowed to have or phones during lunch we can is them to take pictures of or meals and post them on social media this will help is share or experiences with or followers and show off the delicious food or school cafeteria makes this can also help is connect with or classmates and make new friends third with policy we can is or phones to listen to music during lunch music is really important to a lot of is and it can help is relax and have a better time during lunch it s also a great way to bond with or friends who like the same music as is fourth having or phones during free time means we can play games with or friends this can help is have fin and distress especially during busy times of the year like finals week fifth policy teaches is responsibility if we re allowed to have or phones at school we have to learn how to is them responsibly we have to make sire to turn them off during class time and not get distracted by them this will help is learn how to manage or time and technology is which is a really important skill for the fit ire lastly policy is the more realistic choice a lot of schools allow students to have phones and it hasn t caused any major problems it s just the way things are now by allowing is to have phones or school can be more in line with what other schools are doing in conclusion i think policy is the better choice for or school it allows is to is or phones responsibly while still learning how to manage or technology is it also helps is connected with or friends and family relax during lunch and have fin during free time thank you for considering this issue and i hope you ll choose policy sincerely your name

some schools have programs that older kids can help younger kids if they don t know how to something s in school or outside of school or they are there just there to assist other kids that more help than other kids this can be helpful for older kids that they might have to teach something new that they did not know or just teach something that they had some hard time in when they were leaning this in school and can be more helpful for younger kids because they might have to work a little harder and get more challenged more than they get at home or school and they get through there homework at this after school program and then when they get back to school they have there homework done and then there homework might not be late or they might just be more on top of there stuff and when they get home they just can relax and play some games or just go outside and have good jobs later in their lives and i think that more kids should have this chance to get this time to study and get better programs in there school because we have good programs and then if most of every school have likes programs they can get help by older students and younger students can help they older can help by helping the younger and the younger if they are not doing homework and if they are done with homework they can help other younger students so they can get the help and the assisting that need or might need because if you are good with some like math but then the homework gets harder they might just need some more time or more time study and going over there past homework to see if he can or she can solve that problems or if they can t that why there are the older students that can them help he or she with the homework or projects they can help one and other to finish faster and get their projects done if they wish to or they can just work on it just by them self and then when most of the kids are done with homework witch most won t be they might go on their computers or they can go outside and play some outside games witch so half would go outside and the other will stay to keep this program fun and not just doing homework and classwork all day long so they can keep or gain some energy to when they are done form playing they can come back inside with some energy and not being broad all the time there are at the after school programs

the canadian press calgary alberta s premier says an all party committee of mps will make a recommendation to the house friday about whether to change the rules to allow the opposition parties to participate more in house of commons debates wildrose party leader danielle smith announced monday she plans to ask ndp leader rachel notley for changes to the rules in her upcoming speech from the throne smith says an agreement was reached last year between the two parties that if the opposition had a member on the advisory committee that committee would vote on how to proceed once government members are no longer allowed on the panel that will mean that the minority party members will still have the opportunity to cast votes and be heard smith said monday adding that that s why the opposition is asking for more than just a single committee but two to improve the process smith says her party is also asking for a limit on debates to once a week the commons speaker has already ruled an all party committee can vote on any question and not just on the bill under consideration last week the party that holds the most seats in the commons is guaranteed to hold per cent of the vote or per cent if the liberals and bloc are excluded for the first time that means if the government holds the most seats in the commons it can send the bill to committee almost twice as fast as opposition mps and still have the majority of its own members on the committee if the opposition party holds the most seats in the commons it needs one vote to stop the government from sending the bill to committee the conservatives said earlier this month the government only has enough support from its own members to guarantee the bill to the lower chamber if it can pick up only per cent of the vote liberal leader justin trudeau has said his party will support the motion of no confidence that is likely to result from the speaker s decision if the opposition agrees to an immediate vote for a motion that would delay it to see if it is a quorum or quorum of per cent of the seats the debate would begin when the speaker a government mp rules under subsection of the standing orders of the house which allows the speaker to dismiss the house

analysis of quintroine dunlap s essay essay table of contents position of the thesis statement importance of incorporating an interview incorporation of block quote comments on the conclusion works cited position of the thesis statement in the essay titled the war on drugs vs the opioid crisis quintrione dunlap has placed his thesis statement in the last sentence of the second paragraph the thesis statement states the victims of the opioid crisis are being treated better than past victims of the war on drugs because of the demographics that it affects dunlap his decision was informed by the need to create a strong background for the thesis statement which could not be captured in a single introductory paragraph ostensibly the essay does not include a counterargument but the author still conveys his argument succinctly importance of incorporating an interview the incorporation of an interview in scholarly writing serves as the basis of credibility as they are a primary source of information dunlap weaves interviews responses to the essay to show the americans perspectives on the authorities responses to the opioid crisis although he opts to conceal the interviewees identities as in the case of dunlap s work it is apparent that the use of interviews in essays is recommended as it makes the argument stronger and the work more credible incorporation of block quote dunlap has incorporated two long quotes in the essay to support his argument long quotes also called block quotes are introduced on an independent line detached from the main text entirely indented as a block by inch and citation added at the end of the verbatim harris the quotes support dunlap s arguments in the two subsequent paragraphs by showing what authorities and americans think about the opinion crisis comments on the conclusion dunlap s conclusion is effective because the author has reiterated his main argument and included supporting points although he has incorporated new information in it it would have been much better had he used a signal phrase to mark the start of the concluding paragraph however anyone reading the conclusion easily understands the author s message without necessarily reading the entire text works cited dunlap quintrione the war on drugs vs the opioid crisis march sharon sellers first year writing award for pp harris robert a using sources effectively strengthening your writing and avoiding plagiarism taylor francis

if you re like me and you got into pro audio in the s you ve likely spent way too many hours of your life toiling over tape based recording systems i was fortunate to have a mentor in chuck ferrell a local music educator who also ran a home studio who let me join in the fun of many technological firsts in his studio at the time i remember the excitement of the first black adat machine he saved up for months and months to buy the groundbreaking apple power pc that could hardly handle two track audio processing but seemed like absolute magic in what it could do the exhaustively orchestrated mix down and bounce sessions that went late into the nights and often had us both performing gymnastics around a mackie to get the best possible mix into the fancy new stereo dat deck that he saved even longer to buy those were good days in those years from the mid s into the early s audio technology was moving so quickly i remember saving up and buying a pair of used adat xt model decks for mobile recordings at the same time the xt bit decks were being announced and only a few years later picking up an alesis hd hard disk recorder for about the same money i paid for those two xt s i was also lucky to work at a small retail shop that sold much of the popular gear at the time anything from alesis tascam and fostex was on our shelves and i got to spend lots of time learning the technology and trying new stuff out over the years what we didn t have though was the really cool exotic stuff i must have had most every audio magazine subscription back then and i would read them cover to cover many times over longing to be able to get some hands on time with the gear they featured now we re some years down the road and that gear is all but forgotten and sadly coming to a point where it s simply not feasible or monetarily sound to attempt to use it anymore in these upcoming installments of the vintage tech series i m going back to those units that i always wanted to get to know better the everyday workhorses that we had in the project studios and their exotic counterparts that graced the covers of industry magazines and the racks of world class broadcast and recording facilities of the day i hope you enjoy this sneak peak at what i ve been working on i can t wait to share the in depth videos with you in the coming weeks and months happy thanksgiving want to help me make more content like this like loading amazon link asins b hon b ew a b ji hpg b ea p oi b gjrrz b ffjy template productcarousel store dcs marketplace us link id f d d c e e c d

the internet has become an integral part of our lives and with it the phenomenon known as social media despite its popularity many have raised concerns about how this technology affects us emotionally and mentally this essay will focus on one particular aspect of social media its ability to allow people to compare themselves to others and examine why it can be damaging for users self esteem as humans it is in our nature to compare ourselves with other individuals in order to establish a sense of identity comparisons are made so that we can feel better or worse about ourselves based on how we stack up against those around us social media has taken this process online by providing platforms where anyone can post pictures of their lifestyles or accomplishments while simultaneously seeing what everyone else is doing this comparison then leads people down a rabbit hole where they seek validation from others through likes or comments if someone does not receive enough attention there is often feelings of disappointment or resentment towards those who do get more recognition than them at first glance these comparisons might seem harmless but the truth is that they often lead to unhealthy behaviours such as low self esteem because people are constantly being reminded of their flaws compared to those around them even though many images posted on social media may not be accurate representations as many users manipulate their photos using filters editing techniques before posting them publicly for all see thereby creating unattainable ideals which cannot always be reached no matter how hard somebody tries leading them into despair when comparing themselves with unrealistic standards set by society instead focusing only on one s own personal goals this kind of thinking also creates an environment where perfection becomes something desired which nobody actually achieves since nobody is perfect further reinforcing negative thoughts regarding oneself without any positive reinforcement whatsoever furthermore studies show that heavy use minutes per day were linked with stress depression anxiety loneliness fatigue anger guilt and shame proving just how detrimental constant comparison through social media can really be

the summer is a time for students to enjoy a break from schoolwork most students spend their time on vacation or relaxing summer projects may impede on students time to relax and they may take away their freedom it is the students break so they may want to decide what projects they have to do summer projects should be student designed because it allows the students to do projects they are interested in and that work with their summer schedule student designed projects will interest students more than teacher designed projects many students don t want to do anything school related over the summer by assigning them projects they have to take time to do something they don t want to do however if the projects were student designed they would be more likely to complete them since they designed them themselves these projects would make the students use their creativity which would lead to more of them expressing their interests they will be much more motivated to do a project that interests them than a project made and given to them by a teacher many students travel and have plans over the summer consequently they may not have time to do teacher designed projects if the students designed their own projects they would be able to design them to fit their schedule with this flexibility students will stress less about finding time for the project therefor students will produce better projects because they aren t stressed this flexibility allows students to do their best and get the most out of doing school work in the summer many people think that the freedom of student designed projects will allow students to be lazy and off topic however this freedom gives the students the opportunity to turn schoolwork into something that interests them thus motivating them to do well the summer is a break for students to relax and not worry about school school projects take away from that but the student designed projects give more flexibility than those made by teachers therefor summer projects should be student designed in order to grab students interest and not impede on their break

bio and anthropocentrism in environmental ethics essay environmentalists from all over the world try to draw the public s attention to the problems of the planet claiming that the damage people have caused will become irreversible in a few years however there is another perspective regarding the matter as some believe environmental issues are not humans priority as such problems as famine military conflicts economic crises need to be solved first baxter environmental ethics can help in choosing the most appropriate approach the anthropocentric perspective seems rather logical and reasonable baxter states that humans should and can strive for the appropriate and favorable environment which is also good for animals and plants similar to animals people need clean air and water so humans are to a certain extent surrogates for animals and plants baxter at the same time it is the human to decide what clean air means and what appropriate environment is nevertheless people should not focus on what is good for them they have to remember that they are a part of the system and changing the existing rules is wrong palmer people have no moral right to put themselves in the first place and cause any harm to other species not to mention damaging the current ecosystem is dangerous and is already leading to unwanted consequences in conclusion biocentrism seems to be a more viable perspective regarding environmental issues baxter notes that environmental ethics in general should be seen as a product of civilization so people have the right to establish rules and choose what is good and bad however civilization is a product of the natural development of humanity that evolved using the resources available on the planet therefore it is essential to make sure that the biocentric approach will prevail and people will be able to preserve the planet as it is works cited baxter william f people or penguins the case for optimal pollution ethics theory and contemporary issues edited by barbara mackinnon and andrew fiala cengage learning pp palmer clare living individuals biocentrism in environmental ethics the oxford handbook of environmental ethics edited by stephen mark gardiner and allen thompson oxford university press pp

the british government will cover the costs of lost european union eu funding for universities farmers small businesses and infrastructure projects after brexit the chancellor has said philip hammond promised that projects currently receiving eu money will have that funding guaranteed by the british government after the uk has quit one of the big claims made by the remain campaign during the referendum was that britain would lose significant amounts of funding if it left the european union several government ministers threatened that funding would suddenly be withdrawn if britain left the eu now the times reports that new chancellor has moved to make sure that will not be the case the uk will continue to have the all of the rights obligations and benefits that membership brings including receiving european funding up until the point we leave the eu mr hammond said we recognise that many organisations across the uk which are in receipt of eu funding or expect to start receiving funding want reassurance about the flow of funding they will receive that s why i am confirming that structural and investment funds projects signed before the autumn statement and horizon research funding from the eu granted before we leave will be guaranteed by the treasury after we leave in particular he pledged that farmers would still receive payments currently made under the controversial common agricultural policy adding the government will also match the current level of agricultural funding until providing certainty to our agricultural community who play a vital role in our country we are determined to ensure people have stability and certainty in the period leading up to our departure from the eu and that we use the opportunities that departure presents to determine our own priorities he said mr hammond is expected to make a financial statement in either november or december in which he will make the guarantee using money that britain would have paid in eu membership fees his comments come as britain begins to get to grips with the challenges of leaving the eu earlier this week breitbart london reported how some eu states want britain to keep unlimited immigration after brexit despite government ministers promising this would not happen prime minister theresa may had previously stated there was a very clear message from the british people in the brexit vote that they did not want free movement to continue as it had done previously

there are many topics and reasons about becoming a seagoing cowboy but i m not going to mention them all if i did it would take me an excruciatingly long time so in conclusion i am only going to mention a few of them such as importance adventure and sites the important of the seagoing cowboys was an extremely important person to be in that time period for saving hundreds of thousands of cattle horses and any kind of livestock that was useful to the people ko matter how stormy it got they always tried there best to keep on course and never give up they worked very hard cleaning stalls feeding the animals and giving them watershed were always honored then and i think we should honor them now as well or better as they did back in the time of world war two oh and just italian the adventure they had out on the open sea just having the time of their lives they probably ran in to some nasty storms just think of the waves probably huge waves the size of a mountain in the story luke almost when flying off the shp but he got lucky he caught a piece of metal to hold onto could you just italian how much that would scare you if you had been swallowed by the hungary ocean they could have even been flung overboard and eaten by sharks it just gives me the chills thinking about it oh just tank of the sites they have seen they have probably been all around the world in the story it said that luke he when to venice italy a city with streets of water that was only one he even when down the panama canal on his way to china can you italian dong something like that it would be spectacular seeing this kind of sites he even when ton a tour threw an excavated castle now that is like the cherry on a sundae don t you agree that is why i think past sea bearing cowboys should be honored for there services and not just ignored like they are today my goal is to get the word out about the sea bearing cowboys to show there importance to this country so they aren t just forgotten and cast away and not honored

chicago cbs gov bruce rauner said monday that some chicago public schools are crumbling prisons adding he s deeply concerned the state budget deadlock could prevent schools from opening in the fall he made the comment while touring the expanding tech incubator at the merchandise mart many of them are basically just crumbling prisons not a place that a young person should be educated rauner said rauner also says his major disappointment during his time in office is mayor emanuel although the issue is not personal the governor said emanuel and state democratic leaders like mike madigan have so far refused to compromise on reaching a balanced budget and find ways to increase state revenues only then rauner said can the state provide more money for education chicago public schools ceo forrest claypool said last week that cps and many other districts in illinois would be unable to open in fall if rauner and the illinois general assembly cannot agree on some type of budget deal and approve funding for public schools across the state lawmakers were unable to agree on a spending plan for next year before the end of the spring session the state has been operating without a budget for months last year rauner vetoed the bulk of the state budget approved by the democratic led legislature but approved legislation to fund elementary and high schools this year lawmakers could not even agree on a state budget for public schools emanuel said educational gains made at cps are endangered by a funding formula that does meet the needs of struggling school districts he fired back at the governor today calling his remarks divisive adding it sounds like he s auditioning to be donald trump s running mate a school is not a crumbling prison that is actually a gateway to the economy of the st century emanuel said a top cps officials said rauner s words were racist i think it s one of the most racist things i ve ever heard said dr janice jackson cps chief education officer i think comparing a school a place where i spent a large part of my life as a prison is absurd

our solar system revolves around many planets one being venus there are many people who study each one of the planets in our atmosphere from the distance it is from us to the gravitational pull to its velocity etc to have a better understanding of each planet technology has helped immensely as well as going into space and seeing everything for ourselves in person being an explorer in space comes with both good and bad things for example as stated in the passage no spacecraft has yet to survive the landing or visit to venus many people may not find this as a huge issue due to the fact xe humans aren t necessarily built as spacecrafts and of course i agree but in my opinion that is still a risk another con is that venus is the hottest planet although mercury is closer to the sun as the author mentioned in paragraph venus can be deadly due to the pressure and heat it holds as everything else in life there can be a good outcome i believe learning about that is surrounding us outside of earth is very important not only will xe be informed but there has been said that there was life in venus almost as much as xe have on earth they don t call venus earth s thin for simply no reason i strongly believe that xe re closer to a better future each and every day that goes by scientists geologists etc all try to capture some sort of new information that can possibly help our future in a good and positive matter in conclusion all the information the author of this passage provided me with gave me a better understanding on whether or not it s north it to continue trying to discover more about this similar planet to earth from that i read i can intake that yes it can be dangerous as i stated in the second paragraph it can risk lives but at the same time life is full of risks it s important to me as well as i m sure it is to others to knox if there can be another life somewhere completely different and that not being a state or country by any means it s literally a different planet therefore traveling outside of earth is a huge challenge but fear shouldn t stop us from gaining such innovation for our future

the natural formation of the face on mars many people see unusual patterns in everyday objects and landforms when images of the face on mars were first captured it understandably sparked interest about the possibility of an ancient civilization once living there however upon closer examination the evidence strongly suggests the face is simply a natural rock formation sculpted over time by wind and other erosive forces there are a few key pieces of evidence that support the face being a natural landform rather than an artificial structure first high resolution images reveal no definitive artificial structures anywhere near the face that would indicate an intelligent source if it were part of a complex one would expect to see buildings roads or other signs of habitation additionally the face faces symmetry which is uncommon for constructed faces or monuments its features are uneven and distorted more characteristic of random geological patterns second scientists have identified the specific geological processes that could have shaped the face s appearance the rock layers in that region are composed of harder and softer stones when winds erode the softer layers more quickly than the harder stone eyebrows above it creates shadows that resemble eyes over miffions of years of steady erosion such natural weathering could plausibly produce a passing resemblance to a human face no artificial mechanisms would be needed to explain its formation lastly multiple unmanned missions have provided ample opportunity to capture the face from different angles and fighting conditions yet none have revealed any other site characteristics typical of an inhabited settlement if it were an ancient statue or memorial we would expect to find other constructed elements nearby over time the preponderance of evidence thus indicates the face on mars is simply a chance product of natural geological forces not an artifact of ancient martian civilization while speculation about its origins is part of human nature the most scientifically sound conclusion is that it is a natural rock formation not proof of past fife on the red planet

to the principal i think that students should attend community service because that can keep them doing productive things and not getting into trouble not being bored but doing something to help out doing community service could keep kids going ih it were a paying position or added extra credit to their grades whether they are good or bad performances i think the principal should make the decision to require all students to perform community service because it will help them exceed in life and to not give up to keep students interested in performing community work is to schedule it to where everyone is with their friends having hun and also taking part in management having students do community work is a great way to teach them to manage well to not give up when something is hard having those certain people around to push and motivate every student there when seen to be in struggle oh working helping the community is also a good thing to do you want to be proud oh your neighborhood and satisfy the people that you share the community with it heels good to know hey i helped someone do this or that or yeah i put a smile on these persons have require community service its good for the students students that believe community work is a waste oh time they re wrong because helping your community is worth the time taken up and the work put into the community ih no one was willing to help out with the communities they d all look awful dirty and not cared about no one wants to live in a place where it s all dirty and nasty and hull oh litter and dirt the kids that don t care for community service aren t doing anything better and they know it they re either sitting at home bored wasting time or taking unto actions that could completely throw their lives away such as drugs vandalism stealing being disrespectful joining a gang oh such when they could be doing something way more productive helping out the community making new friends meeting new people heeling good about themselves learning different things as well it says that children must attend school until the age oh so the principal adding community service to the school requirements will keep children going in life until they run out oh juice completely it shall be a mandatory thing for all students grades k

young people are undoubtedly essential resources to any country they are the future of their nation and their contributions can make a significant difference kn the development of their country however kt ks unfortunate that many governments often overlook some of the problems that young people face kn running the country in this essay i well argue that i agree with this statement firstly young people often face challenges kn the education system many young students struggle with the quality of education they receive and the resources available to them in some situations schools do not have enough teachers or educational materials to ensure that all students receive a quality education governments need to recognize the need to invest more kn education infrastructure and resources to provide young people with the tools they need to succeed secondly young people often face unemployment underemployment or job insecurity this issue ks particularly prevalent kn developing countries the youth unemployment rate kn many countries ks higher than the national average and this can lead to a sense of hopelessness and frustration among young people governments need to focus on creating more job opportunities for young people investing kn training programs and vocational education and kncentkvkzkng small businesses to here young people thirdly many young people are struggling with mental health issues the pressures of modern life including the need to succeed academically socially and economically can be overwhelming for some young people governments must recognize the need to invest kn mental health services and support programs for young people including access to counseling and therapy in conclusion young people are vital resources to their country and governments need to recognize and address the challenges they face by investing kn education job opportunities and mental health services governments can support the development of their young people and create a brighter future for their country

the issue of global warming has become a major concern for the entire world and the need for sustainable living has never been more urgent than now one innovative approach to combating this problem is the establishment of car free communities such as vauban in germany vauban is a pioneering district that has been able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by limiting car usage this concept is an excellent example of smart planning and could serve as a model for other suburban areas around the world vauban has been able to reduce car usage by prohibiting street parking driveways and home garages this has led of vauban s families to live without cars with selling their cars to move there the community has also established large garages on the development s edge costing per space this approach emphasizes the importance of public transportation and walking with amenities within walking distance the concept of vauban is not only innovative but it also showcases how suburban areas can be more compact accessible to public transportation and less car dependent this approach has been adopted in other parts of europe and the united states where efforts are being made to develop suburbs that favor public transport and walking however despite these efforts changing car centric attitudes and adapting urban planning regulations to support sustainable living models remains a challenge many people are still attached to their cars and may find it difficult to give them up additionally urban planning regulations may not support the establishment of car free communities making it more challenging to implement such sustainable living models in conclusion the establishment of car free communities like vauban is an excellent approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating global warming this concept emphasizes the importance of public transportation and walking with amenities within walking distance however changing car centric attitudes and adapting urban planning regulations to support sustainable living models remain major challenges it is therefore important to continue to explore innovative ways of promoting sustainable living and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

the truth is that you can actually eat your way to feeling good and feeling better and that s pretty revolutionary says james gordon r d of the james gordon weight management program jgmp at the university of massachusetts medical school the jgmp is a day program that works with patients on a personalized regimen of lifestyle changes to lose weight as well as improve the function of the body and brain dr gordon recently spoke about the jgmp with the center for the study of obesity what makes your program unique what you do as a physician or dietitian is extremely important but if you re talking about a day program we did it really differently we were concerned with two things we didn t want to make it too tough for people to follow and secondly we wanted to get a large group of people who were actually willing to give it a try so we had them do it in three different stages we also wanted to get to the point where once people were able to lose or pounds that it didn t seem so insurmountable so we had several stages during which patients gained and lost weight and then we had another stage where we tried to really make it easier for people to keep the weight that was lost how did you get the participants who would stick with this approach we recruited a very diverse group in terms of gender age group size of the waist waist to hip ratio there was a huge diversity within the group even among the groups within the same gender so it was truly a multi disciplinary team of people who believed that it was a real possibility that it had been proven by other people over many years and we were able to convince them that it was worth their time to continue to do it they had been through years of education and education with the wrong ideas and then we did change things with the right ones i think that the real story of the success of this program is really how many people were willing to be persistent and give it a chance we had people who said they had tried all sorts of diets and diets were not working for them and they just couldn t get into the program that worked it was very motivating

dear principal i know that we should at least have a b average when were playing sports but i think students still could at least have a c average the reason i think this is that sometimes it s hard to do sports and get a good grade sometimes it not always be about the sports being involved it can be issues involving outside oo the school for example family issues maybe it could be even though were playing sports it could be that we try our best but we still don t get it but it s just too hard for people to understand but i still don t think that it s are to take away sports because actually sports is goo door us it gives us a boost to work harder because we just can t wait to go and do that sport also i don t think that it is are that the student s with a b average get to play and we don t another reason i think it s not are is because then it would make students angry and they would probably start a petition or something close to that and start not doing their work and that would be bad for their education another one oo my reasons is what io one oo the other outside activities involved helping charity and we had a c then in that situation would we still not be allowed to do that or in that kind oo situation could we be allowed to do that outside activity with a c average and that was one question that i m sure will get people thinking about and maybe want to consider not to change the grading average we would have to have in order to participate in sports instead oo changing the grading policy that we have to have for sports why couldn t we just change another rule for something else also and my last statement for letting us play sports even though we don t have a b average is because it helps the school and it helps the school by every time we hold an event and games we are help to raise money for the school so we can buy more technology a supplies to make the school better then are all my reasons why i think she shouldn t change the rules on everyone should have a b average instead oo just having a c or better i hope that you read my letter and think about all my reasons for keeping the grading policy for sports the way their suppose to be thanked you for reading this and hope that ensure mine and everyone s wishes for keeping the grading policy for sports sincerely student name

many people believe that they do not need advice from others in order to make decisions in their life and they believe that they should trust their own instincts however i disagree with this perspective it is important to listen to others opinions and seek guidance from experts and authorities because they may have a better idea or have been in the same situation before one reason why seeking advice from others is important is that they may have already faced the same situation and have valuable insights to share for example you are trying to decide whether to take a job offer in a new city or stay in your current location your friend who has lived in the new city for several years may have advice on what to expect such as the cost of living the job market and the culture by listening to their advice you may be able to make a more informed decision another reason why seeking advice is important is that others may have a different perspective on the situation for example your parents may dive you two options for your summer vacation doing to the beach or taking a road trip your best friend who has a passion for photography may saddest that you take a road trip so you can capture stunning photos of the scenery by considering their perspective you may be able to make a decision that aliens with your interests and values however it is important to note that seeking advice is not always the best third to do sometimes it is better to trust your own instincts and make a decision based on your own preferences and values for example if you are trying to decide which color to paint your room you may want to trust your own taste and choose the color that you like the most in this case it is important to listen to your own preferences and not let others influence your decision in conclusion seeking advice from others is important in making decisions in life by listening to their opinions and seeking guidance from experts and authorities you may be able to make more informed decisions however it is important to also trust your own instincts and make decisions based on your own preferences and values ultimately the decision is yours to make and you should be confident in your ability to make the right one

bitcoin legal tender california is the sunny state located on the west coast of the united states what many people may not know it is also the state that has the th largest economy the state has currently set in motion what could bring about great advancement for bitcoin and other digital currencies the california lower house has unanimously agreed and passed the bill ab declaring bitcoin and other digital currencies as a legal tender in the state the amazing thing about this turn of events is that the votes in favor of the new proposal was unanimous with seventy five votes for and zero votes against the bill ab was first introduced by california state assembly member and banking and finance chairman roger dickinson last january on the th of february it was sent to the senate banking and finance committee for revision of its possible monetary impact before it moved on to the senate ab would formally legalize a variety of alternative currencies to the united state dollar that happen to be already in use this bill makes clarifying changes to current law to ensure that various forms of alternative currency such as digital currency points coupons or other objects of monetary value do not violate the law when those methods are used for the purchase of goods and services or the transmission of payments mentioned in the bill when the bill enters the senate it needs to pass three states these are the senate policy committee senate fiscal committee and lastly the senate floor but on the other hand if at any given point the bill is amended in the senate it will need to go back to the assembly this could make the passing of the bill take much longer it is expected that the bill will easily pass the senate as well if the bill is approved by the senate up next in the ladder would be to get approval from the state governor who decides whether the bill becomes law bitcoin s legal future the passing of the bill could possibly be one of the best highlights for bitcoin in recent times with the near collapse of mt gox and its introducing a new wave of panic in the bitcoin community this comes as much needed good news currently there are many governments and banks collectively speaking out against bitcoin and it s use warning their people against it s potential risks while there is a minority of politicians and the innovators in the financial industry who understand the importance of bitcoin and it s need to be mainstream how will the future of bitcoin s legal status look like as we head deeper in to the year one can be hopeful for good but only time will tell featured image via shutterstock

yard back le veon bell should hit the mark this season usa today sports it seems as though we get a new big guy every week of the nfl regular season sometimes new players come in to replace the guy who was one of the league leaders the week before but as for le veon bell who went from a near unstoppable force in pittsburgh last season to being relegated to playing just five games before an ankle injury landed him on ir if that doesn t seem like much consider the difference it would make for an athlete who had the ability to do anything when the time came since bell was the steelers franchise running back there are just a few ways he could have been a star back the team signed deangelo williams but he never lived up to expectations while the team kept jonathan dwyer on the team but he never made much impact in the backfield bell could also have been the league leader in all purpose rushing yardage with yards which he is not even close to right now he has yards though he has three games remaining including three against the ravens that s what happened to bell when his team was on the inside of a tight playoff race and was expected to be in the afc north title race entering the final week of the season related texans seahawks rivalry to return to houston this thursday as well as a super bowl rematch if we look at the nfl leaders for rushing yards last year it s a pretty similar story rank player team att yds alfred morris phi jamaal charles kc le veon bell pit eddie lacy gb ben tate ten giovani bernard cin nfl rushing leaders we can see bell was the league leader in yards per carry but it s the two players ahead of him on that list who are also no longer with the teams with the league lead rising alfred morris shifting le veon bell losing jamaal charles eddie lacy as for bell the only player on that list who was on an nfl team injury related is deangelo williams who was released from the steelers by the bills just this week the good news for bell it appears the steelers will play him more than anyone else next season with six of their final seven games coming against afc opponents they also have a bye week giving them the benefit of a week to rest him as needed before the postseason

march bit o polish did a polish pass this week you know balancing numbers adding some nice small touches tightening the graphics on level that sort of thing got tired of the placeholder trees and plants so i added some variety to the trees now there are some birch trees fir trees that sort of thing biomes will see a much greater variety but it s a bit nicer to look at now isn t it a lot of crops have gotten new appearances as well so your farms should be a bit more lively there s other things too like butterflies in the spring fireflies in the summer the grass and dirt texture have gotten some improvements plants will sway when you run through them and i ve added a new effect for when you water them oh and a fireplace got to have chimneys in town after all it s a more refined version of the campfire you can craft when you ve got a more respectable homestead i also added a trash slot to your backpack so you can permanently throw away things you no longer want instead of tossing them into a big pit and waiting for them to decay while that was perhaps more realistic i don t think building your own landfills was something anyone had requested if you want to do it that way you still can but you won t because an easier option exists now and you can t help yourself finally a lot of work was done on villagers and personalities though none of it is ready yet i had to get a waypoint system set up for the various jobs they ll do and places they ll visit during the day and also a lot a lot of writing a lot of games tend to have really uninteresting characters that prattle off the same thing over and over again like a robot or only have anything interesting during specific cutscenes my goal is to have it so you actually want to talk to the villagers and get to know them over time and have a relationship form via these interactions rather than someone you dump gifts onto until they marry you granted it takes a lot more writing so i ve been doing that in the evenings hopefully we ll come out the other end with interesting people continue reading in the dev forums return to devlogs

as teenagers mature they develop opinions on issues that affect them some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home through online or video conferencing while some people believe that students should not be allowed to attend classes from home others argue that students should be allowed to attend classes from home because they can do their more at their omn pace however there are several factors to consider before making a decision firstly attending classes from home can lead to social isolation teenagers need to interact with people more often and not be home all day staying home every single day and not going out can lead to depression personally i cannot stay home all day and only focus on school therefore students should be encouraged to attend classes in person to socialize with their peers and teachers secondly attending classes in person can help students develop responsibility when students attend classes in person they learn hom to make up early manage their time and complete their more this prepares them for the future and helps them develop the skills they need to be successful in life on the other hand if students are allowed to attend classes from home they may not develop these skills which can negatively impact their future thirdly attending classes in person can provide student smith opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities schools offer many activities that can be beneficial for students future such as clubs and sports students mho attend classes in person can take advantage of these opportunities and learn hom to more as a team in contrast students mho attend classes from home may miss out on these opportunities and may not be prepared for future teamwork in conclusion while some people believe that students should not be allowed to attend classes from home others argue that students should be allowed to attend classes from home because they can do their more at their omn pace however attending classes in person has several benefits such as socialization responsibility and opportunities for extracurricular activities therefore students should be encouraged to attend classes in person to prepare themselves for the future

discussing resistance within organizations case study resistance of employees within the organizations usually refers to the forms of staff showing their disagreement with the bosses while performing their jobs the key feature of such resistance is the fact that the employees tend to avoid direct disobedience and confrontation with the managers even within these limits the staff members can undertake an action or non action that can be treated as an expression of resisting thus one may discuss the phenomenon through the prism of three categories the reasons the means and the ways of solution first as a type of conflict resistance emerges when the employers and employees opinions diverge most commonly the resistance is connected to the actions within organizations for example a rapid reformation or ignorance of the staff s interests by the bosses as a result personnel can resort to an array of measures among the subtle ones they can express their discontent for example by asking uncomfortable questions during the meeting or obstructing it also employees may make errors like the careless treatment of the equipment which seems unmeant but leads to real damage if one discusses more open methods of disagreement they might include the acts of sabotage and undermining the bosses decisions the actions such as the destruction of technology can be masked as accidents to remain somewhat subtle but still contain hints on their voluntary nature while the problems initially may be hard to identify once the question becomes evident the employers should work upon their solution to keep the employees in check while considering their opinion the bosses have the option of making concessions these can be done by processing the reforms more gradually or discussing the opposing views with the personnel more frequently in the end one can see that organizational resistance can appear when the employees are discontent with the reforming process or the bosses decisions to demonstrate the disagreement individuals could subtly stir the working process and decrease their effectiveness as an alternative they can resort to the hidden but guessed actions of sabotage in turn employers might be able to fix the problem namely by making the reforms progressive or by consulting the personnel about the course of their government

as an eighth grade student i strongly believe that students with a grade c average or higher should be allowed to play sports while academic performance is important it is not the only factor that should be considered when determining eligibility for sports participation in fact playing sports can actually improve academic performance and students with a grade c average or higher should be given the opportunity to participate in sports as a way to improve their grades and overall well being one way that playing sports can improve academic performance is by teaching students important life skills participation in sports requires discipline hard work and teamwork all of which are essential for academic success by learning these skills on the field students can apply them in the classroom leading to improved grades and better performance overall additionally playing sports can help students develop a strong work ethic which is crucial for academic success another way that playing sports can improve academic performance is by reducing stress and improving mental health exercise has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety which can have a negative impact on academic performance by participating in sports students can reduce their stress levels and improve their mental health leading to better grades and overall well being furthermore playing sports can also provide students with a sense of community and belonging participating in sports can help students develop social skills and form meaningful relationships with their peers this sense of community can translate to the classroom leading to improved academic performance and better overall academic success in conclusion students with a grade c average or higher should be allowed to play sports not only does participation in sports teach important life skills and improve mental health but it also provides students with a sense of community and belonging by allowing students to participate in sports we can help them improve their academic performance and achieve greater success in all areas of their lives

people in an everyday normal life have a question to ask there not ensure about so they ask people if they agree with what there saying or if they disagree i do agree that you should ask more than one person for multiple opinions and for a better response also some people only ask one person for an answer which is not the best thing to do because one opinion is not as good as multiple opinions talking to more people for more opinions on your question gives you a much more diverse answer if someone asks people for advice they would most likely ask more than one person which is a perfect idea asking multiple people for advice gives you a much better response and much more opinions which is perfect advice if you ask one person for advice there going to say either yes or no which is not horrible but if you ask like different people they are all going to give you there opinions on what they think and then from there you guys can narrow it down to the best possible answer also asking multiple people allows you to do better choices for yourself overall seeking for multiple opinions is a better choice and would give you better advice asking multiple people for advice gives you a better response because you are going to have more than one person asking you what they think you should do you should always try to search for the best advice you can get because it gives you more ideas the more and more people you ask the better advice your going to get but you don t want to ask to much people because it could get out of hand if you ask only one person for advice they could give you good advice that could help you but it also really depends on the person but it always so much better to ask multiple people because it helps you out more you can also tell the difference between asking one person or multiple people for advice if you ever wanted perfect advice you should ask more than one person also seeking multiple opinions could make your life so much easier because it lets you do better choices overall you should be asking more than one person because it allows you to do better choices for yourself those were all my reasons on why i think asking multiple people for advice is a better choice

dear mr president after reading informative essays on the electoral college i believe the electoral college should be retired and change the election to popular vote during the election of our united states president although the electoral college was established by the founding fathers in the constitution what is the electoral college it can cause something known as the disaster factor this happened back in and john f kennedy was almost replaced by the democratic electors who nearly succeeded opposing him the indefensible electoral college another worry factor of the electoral vote is a tie this could mean putting the election of the president into the hands of the senate this also makes wyoming who has one representative have equal say with a state life california who has fifty five representatives the indefensible electoral college this allows for the opposite of the will of the people isn t that what we want the will of the people the winnertaqeall system in every state also makes the electoral college unfair to voters the indefensible electoral college putting the decision of our us president in the hands of a few voters in one state while others don t even get to see the candidates is absolutely unjust although there are a few reasons we should keep the electoral college with the electoral college there is always a certainty of outcome in defense of the electoral college this means that a candidate s electoral college votes exceeds popular vote this cuts out the factor of a landslide electoral vote in only one state keeping in line the will of the people the electoral college process of voting during election time is old outdated and unfair to our voting population as a united states citizen i thing we should leave the election of our president up to popular vote everyone will have a say and it takes out all the complications of electoral votes and representatives and most importantly takes the exact decisions of the will of the people than you for your time and taking my claims into consideration sincerely aimee ohio

the landform on mars is very similar to the mesas or plates of the north america s southwest the race of mars is indeed a natural occurrence it has been proven with some very expensive and accurate technology that it is not an alien artifact it would be in nasa s interest to share it if it is an artifact the first viking photo is not creditable the credibility of the mars global surveyor has been tested twice on the race it took its first picture of the race in skeptics blamed the weather for covering up hidden alien signs three years later the mars global surveyor took another picture of the race this picture was taken with optimal weather conditions and on the highest resolution possible for that camera the clarity showed that the race of mars was merely an amazing landform not an alien artifact if for some absurd chance it was an artifact of some ancient alien race it would have helped nasa they could have received more funds to go explore and find remnants of the alien civilization they would have told everyone furthermore they could make a huge profit from it nasa could get more money from investors and taxpayers it would have been to there benefit the viking photo is year sold the quality of it is not near y the same as the mars global surveyor the race of mars may have only been seen because of weather conditions that day in the mars global surveyor took a picture ten times sharper than the already year sold the mars orbiter camera took a picture that was a lot clearer but still not good enough for some in conclusion the conspiracy theorists have no reliable information it has been proven by the moc and the mars global surveyor that it is just a landform the picture is too old to be reliable all it shows is a mesa with amazing shadows nasa probably dreams it was an artifact so they could get a budget increase all of these points lead to one obvious answer the race of mars is just a mesa on mars

using technology yo read the emotional expressions of students is very valuable you can yell if they are interested in the current topic hay is being reached next you can see if they are having an overall good day or bad day a school finally you can yell if they could be stressed out about something in particular i think hay in would be a good idea to use this in certain classes hay are being reached with like new teachers or with a new may subject hay is currently really hard or easy to see how their overall current mood is a the time being when their face would be getting scanned into a d model and constructs all the facial muscles to see them clearly next in my own personal thinking in would be a good idea to yell how a student is feeling and i think this could save lives if the student is feeling anger disgusy fear sadness and maybe destruction i feel as this could help sey up counseling and help the student in need and get him back yo a good and happy same yo be in and nothing bad might happen in the future thirdly having the technology yo yell if the student is stressed out a home or in the school work place is mostly the best idea to ever have and to see if their are issues a home hay is making him her do bad on their school work next in would be good to have seeing a day before a yes and seeing if students are worried about a yes coming up the day before finally i believe hay having this technology in school could possibly improve grades and overall morale of the school and make in a beyer and happy fun place to be a instead of being the area where we children frown on and dislike going next i think hay having this technology in the classroom seeing if the students are enjoying the subject is a good idea you could see if their having a good or bad day a school which could save lives in the very long run finally you could yell if the student is being stressed out or just worried before the day of the yes overall i think hay this would be a great idea to have in classrooms all over the united states and the nation

ayy that is the sound of fun when you participate in school activities joining school clubs or even sports has many benefits that people may or may not know of i agree that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity because you gain new friendships and it improves teamwork skills extracurricular activities help you gain new friendships going into these clubs classes or sports people meet a variety of people they get to meet and talk to different people who they might have the same interests with having those interests he she could slowly start a bonding and those type of bonds eventually can turn into a friendship for example i joined orchestra in th grade and i had an assigned seat next to this girl we talked once or twice in class then we started seeing each other in the lunchroom and hallways we would always say hi or even wave at each other through that we became friends and through that friendship she eventually became one of my very best friends gaining new friendships doesn t always have to start by bonding or getting an assigned seat next to someone it could also be congratulating them on their work because you felt like it looked brilliant all in all you can meet new people and gain new friends through extracurricular activities joining these activities also helps improve teamwork skills in any extracurricular activities people work together to accomplish the work needed working together as a group gets us to communicate listen and share ideas which helps with teamwork skills for example when i did track last year we always had to work together as a group each individual learned from one another and built on their strengths and weaknesses in order to accomplish the goal needed it isn t easy to work as a team but extracurricular classes help through putting variety of people into a group for them to get to know each other and learn how built from the differences they have altogether we can work on our team work skills through activities since you can gain new friendships and improve teamwork skills i agree that all student must participate in at least one extracurricular activity it is a great experience for anyone even if you ve never done an extracurricular activity it brings you many benefits in life and as a person

i disagree with the decision made by our principal that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity while i understand the importance of being involved in extracurricular activities mandating it for all students can be harmful and unfair to some individuals firstly not all students have the same interests or abilities some students may not enjoy participating in sports or other physical activities while others may have a passion for art or music by forcing students to participate in an activity they are not interested in it can lead to a negative experience and a waste of time for both the student and the school secondly some students may have family or personal commitments that prevent them from participating in extracurricular activities for example a student may have to take care of a younger sibling or work part time to support their family requiring them to participate in an extracurricular activity could add an extra burden and stress to their already busy schedule thirdly mandating extracurricular activities can be costly for some families participating in sports or other activities may require additional expenses such as equipment uniforms or travel costs this could be a barrier for students from low income families who may not be able to afford these expenses lastly it s important to consider the impact on students mental health participating in extracurricular activities can be beneficial for mental health but it can also be a source of stress and pressure for some students by mandating participation students may feel forced to take on too much and compromise their mental well being in conclusion while extracurricular activities can be beneficial for students mandating participation for all students is not the best approach instead schools should offer a variety of extracurricular activities and encourage students to participate in activities that align with their interests and abilities this approach will foster a positive and inclusive environment that promotes student engagement and well being

single use plastics have become a controversial topic due to its negative impact on the environment single use plastics are products that are used once and then disposed of like plastic bags straws and water bottles while these products are convenient for us they are harmful to our planet some people think that single use plastics should be banned while others believe that they should not in my opinion i am in favor of banning single use plastics firstly single use plastics have a negative impact on the environment they are not biodegradable and can take hundreds of years to decompose as a result they end up in landfills oceans and other natural habitats where they harm wildlife and disrupt ecosystems for example plastic bags can suffocate marine animals and plastic straws can get stuck in the nostrils of sea turtles banning single use plastics would help reduce this pollution and protect our planet secondly single use plastics are not necessary there are many alternatives that we can use instead like reusable bags metal straws and glass water bottles these alternatives not only reduce waste but also save money in the long run for example a reusable water bottle can last for years whereas a plastic water bottle is used once and then thrown away therefore banning single use plastics would encourage people to use more sustainable alternatives pastly banning single use plastics would send a message to companies that we care about our planet it would encourage them to develop more sustainable products and packaging this would not only benefit the environment but also create new job opportunities in the green economy in conclusion i strongly believe that single use plastics should be banned they are harmful to the environment unnecessary and can be replaced with more sustainable alternatives by banning single use plastics we can protect our planet save money and encourage companies to be more environmentally responsible it is time for us to take action and make a change for the better

the so called face on mars has long captured the imagination of those who believe it was created by intelligent aliens however there is substantial evidence that the face is simply a natural formation sculpted by geological processes over eons of time one of the key claims supporting a natural origin is that the face lacks distinguishing features one would expect of an intentionally carved structure upon closer examination by nasa s hiking orbiters in the s the formation was found to lack internal features like eye sockets or a nose it possesses only a vague facial profile that could easily be seen as something else from another angle this ambiguity suggests it was shaped by natural rather than artificial means additionally the type of rock comprising the face s mesa supports the idea that it was formed gradually by erosion rather than abruptly by sentient design the rocks in this region of mars are composed largely of eolian deposits material deposited by wind over immense stretches of geological time stubborn outcroppings like the face mesa would naturally be sculpted into odd patterns as prevailing winds shape unprotected surfaces this fits with observations that the face s contours are asymmetrical and lack crisp edges perhaps most convincingly subsequent photos of the area from nasa s mars global surveyor orbiter in revealed a variety of other naturally formed mesas near the face mesa further eroding the idea that this was an intentionally formed structure the presence of similar rock formations following the whims of wind and weather lends credence to the geological hypothesis over an artificial one in conclusion while some intriguing puzzles remain about mars geography the preponderance of evidence suggests the face on mars is in all likelihood just another bizarreyetnatural example of wind sculpted rocks on the red planet s surface with no corroborating signs of artificial construction upon deeper observation the hypothesis of alien origin for the face has increasingly less support over time it remains an illustration of how the human mind finds patterns even where nature exhibits only randomness
