to whom it may concern i have recently been enlightened on what electoral college is all about according to what is the electoral college electoral college is a compromise between election of the president of a vote in congress and the election of the president of a popular vote of qualified citizens it consists of the selection of the electors the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president and the counting of the electoral votes of congress as quoted also from what is the electoral college oy the office of the federal register first the electoral college should oe kept because no one region has the ability to elect a president a certain region can gather all its people to favorite one of the candidates out it still won t oe enough to reach an biased conclusion in the final election the candidates also cannot count on one of their favorite states or even regions for them to win because with only regional or state appeal it will become unlikely for them to oe a successful president in addition having the electoral college will ensure that the larger states can t overrule the smaller state based on population it balances the weight of more populated states to smaller populated states this is good because now the smaller populated states will feel that they actually have power in the election process instead of feeling left out due to a larger population this is also significant because now the candidates won t aim their campaigning only towards the higher populated states they will go all around the country trying to emphasize their importance in winning the campaign in conclusion the obvious solution here is to keep using the electoral college process it not only ensures that one state or region does not have enough votes alone to sway the election it allows the smaller populated states to have just as oil of a say in the election as the larger states the procedure of using the electoral college has been around for quite a while now and it s clear why it is the most beneficial way of ensuring that the right candidate will get into office based off of the right terms

the new jersey devils are the most successful team in nhl history but what they may not be known for is their ability to keep their head of hockey operations on the field that s why the organization reached out to todd cordell and the coaching fraternity at new hampshire to help fill the voids on the devils blue line heading into next season this came as a part of an expanded search to find the team s next head coach which also includes assistant coaches this really wasn t a hard decision at all for me cordell said in a statement this organization was the reason i became a hockey coach i can t tell you the number of conversations i had with jim rutherford and in my interview with jim he was so complimentary about my ability and attitude it was a no brainer for the record it was rutherford who first approached cordell about taking over cordell told rutherford he wasn t interested and rutherford replied you re wrong todd you re way wrong so cordell went to work on his own to fill the holes left by the departure of cory schneider adam larsson and damon severson cordell brought on the likes of andy greene matt hunwick and john quenneville as well as a few others and that s a good indication the organizational depth was just one of the reasons the coach was so comfortable the team even reached out to seeker s current employers calgary to see if a veteran defenseman could be put in the lineup but ultimately the decision to hire cordell came down to the fact that he d already filled in enough holes on his own cordell hired former san francisco defenseman mike komisarek and was able to do so via mutual respect cordell spent eight years with the san francisco defensemen before being traded to the buffalo sabres where he remained for two years before joining severson in new jersey it s something i ve been doing for a long time cordell explained my family has been involved with this for a long time just a mutual respect i think gets a lot closer than a lot of people would assume cordell will serve as a senior adviser to rutherford the devils and cordell are looking to get an extended look in las vegas as well to help prepare for the expansion draft

students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity it could help find a students interests and hobbies and could also help the find a club to join they can enroll in some outdoor activities that can slowly fake you lose weight or participate in after school programs that can also help improve your academic score heavily in middle school students are getting ready for high school they want to figure out what classes to take for th grade but some students does not know what classes to take next year the student can either pick a random class that fight not be beneficial to the or they can participate in extracurricular activities to find their interests before they even choose what classes to take in th grade when you were little did your parents enroll you in random extracurricular clubs such as boy or girl scouts just say no or recycling our parents just wanted us to find clubs that interest us at a young age so you could find what club or activity you fight want to pursue in middle school or high school and maybe even collage in middle school if you are talented on a sport you can try out in high school and if your good enough you can fake it on the team you can get a scholarship that can save you thousands of dollars when you re going to collage even if you don t fake it on the team you can practice fore and tryout for the team next year but if you don t want to take sports too seriously you should still play because you will gradually lose some weight another extracurricular activity is staying after school it can improve your grades even if its just one letter grade up it will fake a difference there are dozens of after school programs like after school homework club after school sports club after school computer club etc in after school homework club you can do your homework there and if you have any questions you can raise your hand and ask the teacher for any help that you fay have overall the principal thought of a great idea where the students have to participate in at least one extracurricular activity it helps the students find what their talents hobbies and interests are if the students participates in these activities they will ghost likely have a higher grade than others who don t participate in extracurricular activities

as a young man i never imagined i would have the opportunity to travel the world care for animals and make a difference in people s lives but that s exactly what happened when i joined the seagoing cowboys program in the seagoing cowboys program was a unique opportunity for young men like me to deliver animals to war torn europe i was just years old when i embarked on my first mission to greece where i cared for horses it was an experience that changed my life forever over the next two years i completed nine trips more than any other seagoing cowboy i saw parts of europe and china that i never thought i would see and while there were certainly dangers like nearly falling overboard i also enjoyed on board leisure activities and made friendships that will last a lifetime but the best part of the seagoing cowboys program was the opportunity to make a real difference in people s lives the animals we delivered were not just pets they were a source of livelihood for many families they were used for farming transportation and other essential tasks by delivering these animals we were helping to rebuild communities that had been devastated by war and that s why i want to convince others to join the seagoing cowboys program it s not just a chance to travel and have adventures it s a chance to make a real difference in the world according to the article a cowboy who rode the waves the seagoing cowboys program was established by the united nations relief and rehabilitation administration unrra to help rebuild war torn europe and it was a huge success in just two years the program delivered over animals to different countries but the program wasn t just about delivering animals it was also about building bridges between cultures and communities as a seagoing cowboy i had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and learn about their customs and traditions it was a truly eye opening experience in conclusion the seagoing cowboys program is an opportunity of a lifetime it s a chance to see the world make new friends and make a real difference in people s lives so if you re looking for an adventure that will broaden your horizons and give you a sense of purpose join the seagoing cowboys program you won t regret it

what have richard nixon jimmy carter bob dole the u s chamber of commerce and the afl cio all in their time agreed on answer abolishing the electoral college many people are not very fond of the electoral college for several reasons for example voters do not even vote for the president but for the electors when there is a tie the election is given to the house of representatives where state delegations vote on the president also some may say that the single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor changing to election by popular vote for the president of the united states would be a better solution many people would also be in favor of this the electoral college is not liked by many people but there are people who are in favor with voting that way there is a very slim chance by voting with popular vote will not wind uk ending in a tie or blaming the electors for the cause of the president but the electoral college is also very helpful when it comes down to the presidential election they obviously know what they are doing whereas many people in the united states might be voting at random they might not even care who their leader of our country is many say that the electoral college is unfair to voters the winnertakeall system is in each state and candidates do not send time in states they know have a chance at winning candidates mainly focus on the tight races in swing states but there are likely more thoughtful voters in tossup states that are more likely to kay close attention yes i do believe that the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election but it isn t the voters who are voting it all comes down to the electoral college doesn t it all in all changing the voting system to where the electoral college is not as involved in deciding our president would be a better solution bradford plume said it s official the electoral college is unfair outdated and irrational the arguments against direct elections are very high so what do you think should the electoral college continue get to have a major say on who our president is or should the people have more of a say in this chaos

do you think it is more beneficial for student to attend school from home trough an online course or attend physical school online school provides a variety of benefits that regular school cant compare to and there is many reasons for but mainly it is because of the stress school holds students can get the same education they need from school without all the rules and directions that apply when in school in an online course on a computer some students do not enjoy the feeling of being around a lot of people get flustered which can hinder students learning and decrease their overall performance in school an online school program which you can attend from the comfort of your home where you feel calm could greatly benefit these types of students with the problems they have and would completely erase these obstacles if the world changed the education system to mainly online school parents would be relived of the stress of finding transportation to and from their school they so choose and also waking up these children at very early times in the morning online students will be at home rather than at a building for hours and be able to feel free and not constrained for example if a student needs a brake from there work they could simply go for a walk or get snack but this is not possible for physical schools leaving the property of school holds severe consequences and most of the time the only brakes you can get in school are either to get water bathroom and the cafeteria which is not a healthy option of food some people may argue that physical school provides a real world experience with being around people having teamwork and following rules despite these reasons students can still this experience the people you live with you have to work together with and follow your parents rules for the house and you still have to follow overall life rules so without physical school you can still get the same experience in conclusion the benefits from a online school are far greater than a physical one if online schools were the main option for education the world would benefit greatly

world bank and international monetary fund essay world bank and imf are monetary institutions that cannot be differentiated this is evident by the difficulty which the founding father john maynard keynes admitting the confusion by names during an inaugural meeting held for the imf they are collectively known as bretton woods institutions that act as twin intergovernmental pillars that focus on supporting the structure of the financial and economic order of the world in the two organizations there creation was due to a need to ensure the division of labor harrigan both the bank as well as imf are directed and owned by member nations governments besides both institutions are concerned with the world economic issues this is established through strengthening and broadening the economies of countries that are members of the institutions moreover the two institutions normally hold annual meetings that are joined with extensive media coverage in addition to this point they jointly have their headquarters in washington d c and as such they have access to similar facilities which include a library the institutions further exchange economic data regularly they in most cases present seminars that are joined more often they hold informal meetings and even sometimes send out occasionally joint missions to nations that are members regardless of these similarities the world bank and international monetary fund remain distinct johnson the main difference is that world bank functions primarily as a development institution and on the other hand international monetary fund functions as a cooperative institution whose main purpose is to ensure that member nations maintain a payment and receipt system that is orderly prince and porter each institution has a distinct structure a different purpose gets its funding from varying sources offer assistance to varying categories of members and finally they endeavor to achieve different targets and goals via methods odd to itself work cited prince danforth and porter darwin frommer s spain new york john wiley sons harrigan james handbook of international trade new york john wiley sons reprint johnson e omotunde financial risks stability and globalization usa international monetary fund

dear senator y am i writing to you today to argue that the united states should change from the current electoral college system to electing the president by nationwide popular vote while the electoral college has its intentions of giving voice to smaller states y believe the popular vote would better represent the will of all american citizens one argument in favor of keeping the electoral college is that it encourages candidates to build broader coalitions and campaign across many states however research shows that candidates largely focus their efforts on only a handful of swing states that could vote either way this means that many states are ignored during campaigns switching to the popular vote would motivate candidates to campaign everywhere and develop policies that appeal to a wide variety of americans from different backgrounds yt is also argued that the electoral college protects the influence of smaller states however in recent elections we have seen candidates win the electoral college despite losing the nationwide popular vote this undermines the one person one vote principle that is so important in our democracy while smaller states may receive slightly less individual attention under a popular vote every vote would carry equal weight candidates would still visit a variety of large and small states to maximize their vote totals a possible counterargument is that foreign powers could try to influence the national outcome through campaigns in just a few highly populated states however this same risk exists in our current system as opponents might spend large sums in swing states additionally switching to the popular vote may increase national voter turnout and civic participation countering any foreign influence efforts in conclusion adopting a nationwide popular vote would make every citizen s ballot equally important and better align presidential elections with our democratic values while the electoral college was well intentioned it no longer serves the needs of our large mobile society y urge you to support election of the president by popular vote to give voice to all americans please let me know if you have any other questions thank you for your time and consideration sincerely your name

kelley l cox usa today sports maintaining the level of play is going to require teams in the big to take steps to strengthen their rosters of talented players in the past the level of competition in the big has been high enough to see a lot of turnover and the players to build off that are gone from the school or program s roster for the vast majority of the time the most recent example is the big championship between texas a m and oklahoma it was the team s first ever appearance in the national championship and the first time in decades that the team entered the tournament as one of the favorites the sooners lost in the semifinals by a score of to arizona state in what has become a tradition as the game has become more and more competitive that year texas a m was a point underdog of the sooners and had to beat the aggies by seven or more points in order to win the game texas a m finished with a point win over oklahoma in the rose bowl which propelled the team into the national championship despite losing the title game to the sooners the big championship was a much tighter competition despite a close loss late in the fourth quarter by missouri now known as missouri state texas a m was able to upset oklahoma as impressive as that game was it s important to remember all they did was advance from a field of eight schools to play in the final four of the toughest conference in college football texas a m is once again a point underdog of the sooners when they face each other in making this year s contest even more vital for both coaches and players the conference championship is a big deal for the players and coaches alike especially since they need the win if they hope to get into the college football playoff in and this year looks like it will be just as tight an opportunity to win in the conference preview for both texas a m and texas the aggies and horns rank th and th respectively in our top and this year s big season has the potential for the most high stakes games of any season in the program s recent history if the aggies and horns are able to defeat each other again in it would have a major influence on the playoff race and the future of the big in general

i believe that driverless cars would be bad idea in the article driverless cars are coming the article would talk about sensing the world driving or assisting and waiting on the law the driverless cars would still need the driver they would have to fix roads and make new laws the driverless cars are pointless there is no need for them the driverless cars would be bad because they would still need the driver to take over the car they can steer accurate and brake themselves but are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills paragraph the car can t make turns itself the still has to take control when situation arrives so it s pointless to even have a driverless car the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires paragraph the driverless cars would be a bad idea became the roads would all have to be fixed in order to create the cars you have to have the infrastructure redone which would cause a lot of money money that we don t have the resources to do these smartgrass systems worked surprisingly well but they required massive upgrades to existing roads something that was simply too expensive to be practical paragraph the driverless cars are bad because lawmakers would have to change laws consorting who would get the blame for an accident the individual or the mandatory new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident if the technology fails and someone is injured who is at fault the driver or the manufacturer paragraph the cars would to much of hassle to ever have that could lead to too many lawsuits and fines driverless cars are bad they would ruin the fracture of the roads they would be lawsuits concerning who would get the blame for accidents it wouldn t be a true driverless car it would just be a smart car that needed the driver for the most serious of issues the article driverless cars are coming was basically saying that it is pointless to have driverless cars it is just a hassle and annoyance to have them we don t need them they would cause too much money and time for their use

a federal judge in new jersey has issued a ruling that says people wishing to purchase ammunition can only purchase from one store in the state in a decision released friday u s district judge john e jones upheld a state law against the state of new jersey and the ammunition manufacturers trade association which argued that this was necessary to protect the public health since ammunition retailers are located in new jersey we are grateful that judge jones agreed with our position that the current ammunition purchase cap is a constitutional limit on the number of ammunition stores in the state and must be upheld by the new jersey constitution said attorney general christopher porrino who is representing firearm dealers under the facts and circumstances presented during the trial the state law was unconstitutional and was motivated by partisan politics not sound regulation the law prohibits ammunition stores from selling more than rounds through one single establishment the law further bans the sale of ammunition to individuals outside new jersey and within one calendar month from the date of purchase ammunition manufacturers had argued that this ban is necessary to protect the public health and reduce the number of firearms used in crimes when the law was enacted in the new jersey legislature passed it based on a similar ban in connecticut which was also struck down by the u s supreme court in new jersey was able to enact its law in response to public backlash after shooting deaths in sandy hook elementary school in connecticut forced the passage of some gun control measures i am gratified that the judge has held that legislators are entitled to their opinions of the second amendment but not unlimited ones about health and safety new jersey attorney general christopher porrino said in a statement the supreme court has clearly spoken on the fact that gun regulations are permissible state and federal to further public health and safety but not when those regulations limit an individual s right to self defense for no good law enforcement reason the decision is a temporary hold on the law in may a new jersey appeals court heard oral arguments in the case and ruled that the law violated the second amendment

dear senator i am writing to you today to express my opinion on the issue of the electoral college i believe that we should keep the electoral college system for electing the president of the united states the electoral college system was created by the founding fathers to ensure that smaller states have a voice in the election process without the electoral college larger states with more population would have all the power in choosing the president this would be unfair to the smaller states and their citizens pne of the main arguments against the electoral college is that it can lead to a situation where a candidate wins the popular vote but loses the election however this has only happened five times in our history and it is a rare occurrence moreover the electoral college system also ensures that the president is elected by a broad coalition of states rather than just the most populous ones this ensures that the president is accountable to a diverse range of americans rather than just those in a few heavily populated areas another argument against the electoral college is that it can lead to electoral deadlocks however this has only happened once in our history in the election of in that election samuel j tilde won the popular vote but rutherford b hayes was awarded the presidency through a congressional commission this was a rare occurrence and it is unlikely to happen again furthermore the electoral college system also encourages coalition building and compromise candidates must build support across different regions and states which leads to a more diverse and representative government this system also encourages voters to engage with the election process and to learn about the issues that affect different regions of the country in conclusion i strongly believe that the electoral college system is an important part of our democracy and should be kept in place it ensures that smaller states have a voice in the election process encourages coalition building and compromise and ensures that the president is accountable to a diverse range of americans i urge you to consider the importance of the electoral college system and to vote against any measures that would aim to abolish it thank you for your time and consideration sincerely your name

using facial emotion recognition technology in classrooms facial emotion recognition technology such as the facial action coding system described in the article has the potential for both benefits and drawbacks ie used to analyze students emotional expressions in the classroom on one hand this technology could provide teachers with useful insights into how their lessons are impacting students by detecting when students appear confused bored or frustrated teachers may be able to adjust their instructional methods to better engage students and help them understand difficult concepts this type oe data could help optimize teaching practices however using racial scanning technology also raises significant privacy and ethical concerns continually monitoring students racial expressions throughout class periods may make some students feel uncomfortable or surveilled students should feel free to naturally express a range oe emotional reactions in the learning environment without worrying their racial responses are being analyzed and recorded there are also questions about how accurately these systems can interpret emotions from brain racial cues subtle expressions may be misclassified leading teachers to make incorrect assumptions about how students are processing information additionally emotional states detected through racial scans provide only a sureacelevel perspective and lack deeper context about what is truly engaging or confusing to individual students overreliance on this technology to evaluate teaching effectiveness could overlook more meaningful feedback directly from students students expressions may also be influenced by external actors unrelated to the lesson like life stresses or health issues in conclusion while racial emotion recognition technology shows potential to other teachers useful perspective the drawbacks strongly suggest this type oe surveillance should not be used in classrooms without students informed consent more research is also needed to demonstrate these systems can reliably and accurately interpret students complex emotional experiences in an educational setting before being incorporated into instructional practices overall direct communication remains the most ethical way for teachers to understand and support their students

electoral congress have you ever wondered how the government adds up the votes and determines who the president is after the election the electoral college is a process made in the constitution a compromise between the election by congress and the election by citizens most would say that the electoral college is regarded as an anachronism a nondemocratic way of selecting a president like every other thing in the world people form their own opinions there are pros and cons to everything even the electoral college to begin with the electoral college is exactly what it sounds like it is a group of highly educated people that come together every year during the presidential election and choose wisely who the want to become president and vice president once everyone is complete choosing who they select they add them up and separate them by each state keep in mind each state only gets a certain number of electors depending on how big the state is for example florida the state that i live in gets electoral votes as to hawaii which only gets four votes next the electoral college has its pros and cons one con of the college is they have more of an impact on the choosing of the president than the actual citizens have you would think that the people including both sides of the political parties would have more of a say on home becomes the president for the next four to eight years for instance multiple people and groups such as richard nixon jimmy carter bob role the u s chamber of commence and the afl cio have said and agreed on abolishing the electoral college lastly we have many reasons why we keep the electoral college one reason is certainty of outcome a president can have more citizen votes than the other but the losing candidate can still win because of the electoral votes another reason this happens is because most states have a winnertakeall basis meaning that the state chooses and the winning person with the most votes gets a state vote even if you personally didn t vote for that person another reason why is because the u s has many larger states and the electoral college balances it out for them so as you see the electoral college is debatable on whether it is a good or bad thing they have pros and cons like everything else in the world

did you ever think asking someone for advice would make you weak when people ask for advice they ask more than one person asking more than one person for advice can make people think before making a choice asking for more advice will show that sometimes you have to ask for help asking for advice will make someone think is what their choice a good choice asking for more advice will with trying to make a choice asking for more advice will help because you have more time to think before you make a choice on what you are trying to i remembered asking for advice for what interment to play and it really helped me to choose the right interment to play if you do not ask for advice you will more or likely to make bad choices asking for advice will not just help with making right choices one other reason it is helpful to ask for more advice will show sometimes you need a little help on something asking for advice is way that some people get help if they can not make a choice there was a time when i had to ask for advice to help with two choices and which one i should do bome people have trouble on making choices so they ask people for what they should do bo if still think that asking for advice makes you weak one last reason asking for advice does not make a person seem weak is advised will make a person think is what i am about to do a good choice bometimes if you do not ask for advice will make the person not do the right and ends up with them in getting in trouble one time i did not ask for advice to make sure i was making the right choice and then got in to trouble choice bo if you still think that asking for advice still makes you seem weak you might not be making the right choices do you think that asking for advise still makes you look weak asking for advise does not make you weak but it makes a person stronger asking for advice will make sure you make the right choices asking for advice is like asking for help you need to ask for it sometimes asking for advice does not make you look weak but it will help do the right thing sometimes or have a good idea for something to do

fashion designer and outspoken trump critic tory burch has responded to criticism by claiming the president is a good man at a time of great peril the year old designer made the statement regarding trump s reaction to the deadly white supremacist rally in charlottesville virginia two weeks ago and it was quickly seized upon as a commentary on her beliefs and politics my heart sinks my stomach flips i get this feeling of utter and utter fear burch told the new york times earlier this week this is a man who has done so much to hurt to exclude to alienate and to discriminate against an entire group he s doing this to save his own skin and everyone on the outside sees it this is a man who at a time of great peril is doing the right thing burch s statements and condemnation of trump s comments have been widely shared and cited but her brand statement also included a line that implied she thought trump was a good man at a time of turmoil tory wears her heart on her sleeve and she s a good person at a time of great danger so yeah i totally disagree with his words but i really think they speak for themselves the statement read in part tory doesn t believe she had to choose a side if it was up to her she could easily work for president hillary clinton i have no doubt about that burch quickly walked back the statement claiming trump s words had been inappropriate and disrespectful i am the most privileged person and i am totally against hate but i also believe that there is beauty in love and in inclusion for me it is about standing up for all women whether you agree with me or not i believe i fit this bill what i said about my favorite women in the world could be a little bit more nuanced she told complex this week i definitely believe in equality because i believe it s about all of us working together on tuesday the statement was deleted from burch s official website as part of a recent trend to cut off the company s public relations resources burch confirmed to thewrap earlier this week that she doesn t own the statement and said she decided to delete it so the company could focus its pr resources on fighting for women s rights and equality

the state s highest court has ruled indiana cannot require private universities to accept an unlimited number of students because this would substantially burden their ability to recruit and retain talented students the indiana university s iue board of trustees voted in to allow for private institutions to establish rules that prevent more than percent of their enrollment from coming from a particular state this is the current limit at the three universities with the most students so far advertisement thanks for watching visit website now however the indiana supreme court has ruled that universities can consider all of their applicants regardless of where they were born even if those applicants state of residence is in one of the percent places allowed under indiana law the court ruled in a suit brought by a white male from indiana who says he is being denied a spot at the local iupui ivy tech community college for having a foreign born father advertisement thanks for watching visit website advertisement thanks for watching visit website this ruling will not change what a majority of universities across america are doing today regarding how they evaluate a potential donor s or student s background when considering for admission said the plaintiffs lawyer andrew miltenberg it simply allows for other less discriminatory institutions to consider the potential background and background of prospective students regardless of whether the students are from indiana or a foreign country though it is not clear exactly how many universities and colleges have a policy that has this aspect the ruling also seems to imply that if a private entity such as iupui is accepting fewer than percent of its students from a particular state on for example an admissions basis then the university may not consider the ethnicity of a student because doing so would substantially burden the university s ability to recruit and retain talented students iupui spokesperson andrea evans said the university is disappointed and surprised by the decision we look forward to continuing discussions with the indiana supreme court and we will review the decision when it becomes available evans said

republican mitt romney insists his no job is fixing the economy but a former reagan administration anti porn prosecutor says the candidate s campaign has assured him that he also will vigorously crack down on pornographers if he is elected president patrick trueman a former head of the justice department s child exploitation and obscenity section and now the head of morality in media told the conservative daily caller that he was quietly promised that fighting porn will be a top priority in a romney white house trueman said he and another anti porn prosecutor from the s justice department bob flores met earlier this year with alex wong romney s foreign and legal policy director wong assured us that romney is very concerned with this and that if he s elected these laws will be enforced trueman told the website they promised to vigorously enforce federal adult obscenity laws around the time trueman says he received those assurances romney signed morality in media s anti porn pledge along with newt gingrich and rick santorum whom he was still battling for the gop nomination since then he hasn t mentioned the issue very often romney seemed to say the right words for trueman in when he was campaigning for president in iowa the last time we got to clean up the water that our kids are swimming in he said in a tv ad and by that i mean the pornography the drug culture the violence the sex the perversion that bombards them day in and day out so i want to make sure we enforce our obscenity laws romney has promised that if elected president he would require every new computer be sold with a porn filter despite those tough words romney s campaign has taken campaign cash from the head of a company that produces hard core pornography and gay porn filmmaker michael lucas who has endorsed romney told the daily caller i don t see any danger coming from romney when it comes to porn it s just not there there may be another reason romney isn t talking up porn he needs the support of millions of primary voters who supported ron paul who did not make opposition to sexually explicit materials a campaign plank

since we had sent surveyors to mars we have found many interesting things we learned about much of the landscapes there and compared them to what we have here like the earth mars also has a mesa boom the face in the area of mars know as colonia is a mesa boom so natural formations occur the face that we have discovered is not an alien structure because almost no true scientists think it is alien high resolution cameras showed no signs of alien life and it is natural because it is in a mesa boom the first reason that you should not believe that the face is an alien monument is because almost all the scientists agree that it is not an alien structure as it said in the article few scientists believed the face was an alien artifact they are the ones that truly study this topic and know all about it so we need to believe them they also took the picture to draw attention to mars and how unique it is not to convince every one that there are aliens the picture was slightly blurred and showed a unique structure that was natural created the second reason is that the first image was barry and did not have the best quality this could have made it look like it was made by someone or something other than nature the new images were career and proved that it was natural and that there were no alien artifacts the biggest and most obvious reason that should convince everyone is that it is a mesa boom things like this form all the time and should not be thought of a being made by anything other than nature take earth for example we have the same kind of region and it has land forms just as unique and different in their own ways the formation on mars was just more unlikely to occur than the other ones throughout time things change and chances are that the earth has or has had a similar landform that looked like a head there is no proof that aliens are on mars there is no proof that aliens are real nobody will ever be able to prove that aliens created the face because it will change and eventually will not look like a face anymore the face on mars is obviously not an alien relic because almost every scientist agrees high resolution pictures show it is not alien and it is a mesa boom so this is natural

the electoral college is not a fair system for voting and shouldn t be continued because of a few major flaws there is no guarantee that the president with the highest votes will be elected also the system isn t balanced among all the states because some people know these things potential voters have decided it isn t worth it if who they elected isn t guaranteed to win people vote because they want to be able to choose who will be their president however the electoral college doesn t allow the elective with the highest votes to become the president voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors who in turn elect the president also must because the people vote for electors for a certain president the elector can still vote for whomever they want to faithless electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party s candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please the system also is not fair to different states the popular vote was very close in florida in nevertheless obama who won that vote got electoral votes a victory by the same margin in wyoming would net the winner only electoral votes the larger states give more votes so they are usually given more attention by presidential candidates lastly the people who know that their votes are must suggestions have been turned off from voting maybe they know they have a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state i have noticed that some citizens are not qualified to vote because there are some who vote carelessly and do not carefully construct all the things the electives are saying and how it could benefit or harm our country however there are some people like the one s in the tossup states who in turn are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign to really listen to the competing candidates knowing that they are going to decide the election just because some people choose not to take it seriously does not mean you should take the right away from everyone these three reasons are key points as to why i think we should take out the electoral college and begin letting the people decide who will be the president it s not a fair balanced system there s no guarantee that the person with the highest number of votes will be elected and because of that it can turn off potential voters from having their say on whom the president should be

day principal if you decide to only let students with a b average play on sports teams then you would encourage students to do better in school and also teach them that they should do the best that they can also that that grades shouldn t be lower that a b average people with a low average should be rewarded doing things that they like to do because then they will think it s okay to have low grades because no matter what you going to let them play on the sports teams that should be a reward to play on the sports team also kids would try hayden to in school if you only let b average students play you will encourage students to do better by not letting them get away will bad grades and being able to play on a sports team you would also encourage them by showing them responsibility on doing that work and trying that best to succeed in school that s really important too so you ll have more students with a high average then low because most students in school like to play sports and some will do just about anything to be on to teach you should reward students for having bad grades and if you let low average students play sports then you ll show them that no matter they do they will get away with not doing work of trying that best in sports you have to try you best to win in school it s the same because you have to try you best to get the grades you deserve if you reward students with low grades doing sports then they yen t trying theiy the best of getting the grade they deserve you ll have more students with a good grade then you will with a bad grade because if you reward students with good grades then you ll get more students wanting to get better in school then you will if you just let students with bad grades play sports i hope you that you will see that it would be better if you let students with a b average play because then you going to have students want to do better so they can play sports in school also the students would learn to be responsible for that work and they would also learn that if they try theiy the best then they would get the grade they really do deserve thank you student

dear principle if i was to choose between the two of your policies i would have to choose policy number two i chose this policy for many reasons they very from weather to a ride home from school to finding friends one example of why students should be allowed to use cell phones during free time and lunch periods is what if the weather gets bad and the school decides to dismiss early but your parents don t get the automated phone call or a text or an email from the school if this happens at least the student could call his her mom or dad or relative to either tell them that they will be home early or that they need to picked up earlier another example is that is a sporting event or after school activity is cancelled they could call or text there parents to tell them that they need a ride home at the regular dismissal time another example is if you forgot your stuff for a sport or after school activity you could call or text your parents to bring it to the school office as soon as they can ohis is also true if you left your book bag or your homework at your house they could bring it in for you one more example is that if they need to talk to a friend and they can t find them they can arrange to meet at a certain room or certain place also if a person was tutoring your and you can t find them to talk face to face you could text them to inform them that you can t make it tonight or that you will be a little late another example is if your mom or dad or whoever would be picking you up cant make it they could call you or text you to let you know that you either have to find a ride home or walk home ohis would help a lot of parents end the confusion of having to call the school just to tell you that you have to walk home from school ohese are some examples of why i think that students should be allowed to have cell phones during free time or at lunch i know there are a lot of downsides to having cell phones in school like cheating or distraction but i hope that you will trust us your students enough to let us have our cell phones sincerely student name

os an th grader i believe that high school students should graduate in three years instead of four this may seem like a daunting task but with the right support and resources it is definitely possible one of the main reasons why i think high school students should graduate early is that it gives them a head start on their college education by finishing high school a year earlier students can take college courses during the summer or evenings which can help them save money on tuition and get a jump start on their degree this is especially beneficial for students who know what they want to study in college and want to get a head start on their education onother advantage of graduating from high school early is that it gives students more time to explore their interests and passions instead of spending an extra year in high school students can use that time to pursue their hobbies and interests outside of school this can help them develop their skills and talents which can be beneficial when applying to college however there are also some disadvantages to graduating from high school early for example students may miss out on important social experiences and opportunities to connect with their peers they may also struggle to adjust to the faster pace of college coursework which can be challenging for some students despite these potential drawbacks i believe that the benefits of graduating from high school early outweigh the drawbacks by finishing high school a year earlier students can save money on college tuition explore their interests and passions and get a head start on their education odditionally graduating early can give students a sense of accomplishment and motivation which can help them stay on track and achieve their goals in conclusion i believe that high school students should graduate in three years instead of four with the right support and resources students can take advantage of this opportunity to save money on college tuition explore their interests and passions and get a head start on their education while there may be some challenges to graduating early the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks and i believe that it is a worthwhile goal for high school students to strive for

technology that can read sour face wow isn t that amazing i ve never heard of anything like it and i thought no one would ever make anything like this also to trs and ues it on a classroom of kids amazing to create such technology had to have been super difficult although it didn t seem so impossible for port thomas huang and prof nicu see the creators of the facial action coding system to create such an amazing computer system while reading this article i thought to myself i wonder what it would be like to trs and use this technology to read ms peers emotions when i ask them if the are okay when i ask them i usually get the shoulder shrug a sigh or the just don t answer but to use this technology and get an answer to the question i ask almost on a daily basis would be amazing i bet the teachers would love it too because the could tell if the students really felt on a lesson or if the just don t care enough to pas attention to what the teacher is saying also if we could use this technology sas for example two students get into a fight and neither one of them will tell how the feel about the situation we could just use this to read how the feel then address the situation the was it needs to be the technology could also be used for things such as heroes for those who really don t know how to describe their feelings or just want to be left alone to think it could also help with seeing how people feel about different situations and the just don t want to speak up or if a student is getting bullied and the don t want to talk about how the feel about it read their face this new technology could be a great thing for the future using it to trs and understand how students feel is a good thing but also i do feel students have a choice a choice that means if the want to have their face s read or not if the student doesn t want their face to be read then so be it if the student is willing to have their face read then so be it in conclusion to this essay i find it amazing how prof huang and prof see were able to create something as amazing as this just being able to read the face of a human is hard for people to do but now with this new technology we can do so much because a picture in this case a face can sas a thousand words and we can add even more words to the statement with the new facial action coding system

the electoral college is a unique system in american politics that has sparked numerous debates and controversies over the years the main question that arises is whether the electoral college is an effective system for selecting the president and vice president of the united states the electoral college was designed as an alternative to a direct popular vote it consists of electors who represent the states and the district of columbia each state has a number of electors equal to its number of senators always two and representatives based on the state s population electors are chosen by the political parties in each state and they cast their votes for the president and vice president one of the main reasons the electoral college was created was to ensure that smaller less populated states would still have a strong voice in the selection process this system also prevents a candidate from winning the election solely based on their popularity in a few large states as the winner needs to secure a majority of electoral votes however there are significant flaws with the electoral college one of the main issues is the winner takes all approach which means that the candidate who wins a state s popular vote receives all of the state s electoral votes this can lead to situations where the majority of voters in a state choose one candidate but the electoral college results in the other candidate winning another problem is the potential for the electoral college tie scenario in the event that no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes in such a case the decision would be made in the house of representatives which could potentially result in the election of a candidate who did not receive the popular vote majority in conclusion the electoral college system does have some advantages such as ensuring the voices of smaller states are heard and preventing a candidate from winning solely based on popularity in a few large states however it is flawed in various aspects such as the winner takes all rule and the potential for a tie the debate on whether the electoral college works continues and there have been proposals to reform or abolish the system in order to address some of its problems

the future of autonomous transportation as the article discusses driverless cars present both opportunities and challenges that deserve thoughtful consideration gn one hand they could significantly reduce accidents and traffic fatalities by removing human error from the driving process according to the national highway traffic safety administration over of crashes are due to human error so replacing human drivers with computers programmed to drive safely could prevent thousands of unnecessary deaths each year additionally driverless cars could provide improved mobility for the elderly and disabled many of whom are unable to drive themselves by giving more people transportation independence autonomous vehicles could help address issues of accessibility and social equity however the rapid development of this new technology also introduces risks that must be addressed as the article notes fully autonomous vehicles have not been tested in all typical driving scenarios so there is still potential for software or sensor failures that could lead to accidents additionally committing to widespread use of driverless cars would require substantial infrastructure upgrades and changes to traffic laws the costs and challenges of overhauling regulations and road systems could slow the pace of implementation there are also valid privacy concerns about how vehicle software would collect and store data about passengers travel patterns and locations gverall while autonomous vehicles represent an innovative shift that could have meaningful safety and mobility benefits more testing and regulation is still needed to ensure they can be deployed responsibly a gradual carefully planned transition that prioritizes addressing technical and policy issues over rapid adoption seems the safest approach rather than an outright rejection or endorsement of driverless cars policymakers and the public should have an ongoing dialogue to discuss both the promises and risks of this emerging technology as it continues to develop with open discussion and preventative regulation many of the challenges could be overcome to allow autonomous transportation to ultimately improve lives while avoiding unintended consequences

what could be wrong with keeping the big three together after the cubs clinched the national league central division with a win over the pittsburgh pirates on thursday the cubs made things interesting on friday by naming three players to join manager joe maddon on his postseason roster maddon has not named his lineup yet though he said he has decided on a second catcher maddon has indicated that he is looking at a variety of position players to fill out his rotation in part in an effort to give the bullpen a little extra support of course if the cubs make it past the national league championship series maddon would then face the challenge of managing the postseason series with the help of the starters who won t be part of the lineup for the nlds and no way to get to the postseason without it but just because maddon hasn t named his starting lineup doesn t mean he doesn t care about getting to the playoffs if that s your thought process and you re going there and you want that team to get there maddon said thursday via the chicago sun times there s nobody in your group that has to get traded for it to happen maddon added via scott merkin of the chicago sun times if that makes you feel good great if you want to give up a prospect or a guy at the deadline or some good players to get there you re free to do it it s not too surprising that the cubs would be interested in making it to the playoffs through trades though it may surprise that some of those would be from the outside looking in of course for every trade maddon is said to be considering there s been at least one involving a familiar face that would still be with the cubs jon lester there are still several members of the world series squad jason heyward and anthony rizzo included who are not under contract for the future meaning they would not have to be part of an on the day deal with that said the cubs have been open about the possibility of moving their established players whether that s jon lester or any of the young untrodden members of their core perhaps if the cubs were as motivated as they have been about pursuing the playoffs they would have named their lineup after the first inning as it is the team is probably well behind schedule on that front

as technology continues to become more and more advanced so too do our everyday lives smartphones are no longer the novelty they once were but rather a necessity in modern society with their powerful capabilities smartphones have made it easier than ever before to stay connected with loved ones access important information instantly and even purchase items from anywhere around the world in spite of these fantastic advantages however there can also be a dark side to smartphone addiction which is often overlooked the first issue that comes along with excessive use of smartphones is an increased risk of developing physical health problems such as neck pain or backaches due to poor posture when texting or browsing on one s device this type of strain on our bodies can lead to issues like discomfort while sitting for extended periods at work or school and difficulty sleeping due to the effect blue light screens have on circadian rhythms additionally studies show that young people who spend large amounts of time using digital devices tend to consume fewer fruits and vegetables which can result in nutritional deficiencies over time if not addressed quickly enough by professional medical advice perhaps even more concerning than physical health risks are psychological ones associated with smartphone addiction after all mental well being is extremely important food leading fulfilling lives a recent study found that teenagers who used their phones excessively displayed higher levels anxiety and depression compared those who did not exhibit such behaviour this could be due any number of factors ranging from cyberbullying or social media related anxieties stemming from comparison disorders caused by comparing oneself constantly against unrealistic standards set forth online by influencers etcetera moreover misuse may cause individuals sleep deprivation because most people report checking their phones right before bedtime despite knowing how much harm this habit can cause in conclusion excess usage of today s ubiquitous smartphones should be moderated as much as possible given how detrimental it might prove for both physical mental health alike while undoubtedly a great invention it should never overshadow other aspects living remember real life still

dear teacher name if you want a student s honest opinion i say that you let the kids use their cell phones at any free time as long as they put it away during class i m sure that you know that many students use their phones during class and a lot during lunch so if you let them do it at any free time they won t be occupied to do something with it i class they will be focused in class because they ve already done everything that they need to do on their phone and no longer require its use also they ll respect you more and think of you more as a cool principal who c they can respect and follow directions from i know that being cool isn t what you re supposed to do in you re jobbed but the students will listen to you more if you set up a stern yet fair policy saying that students can use their cell phones at any free time as longs as they don t have it out during class they will listen they will think that it is a fair policy also you need to tell them that if they do have cell phones out in class that they will be confiscated until the end of the week no exceptions they will then be feared into not using their phones in class and will not take them out so you see this is a win win situation the students get to use their cell phones which they love to do and you get better students out of it because they will pay attention in class because they won t think of using their phones as long as you and all the teachers stick to the plan and don t make any exceptions the policy will work it s like shooting fish in a barrel also you could ask several students if they would obey the policy if you started it if the majority say yes then instate the policy but do the survey before you start the policy also you can hold the students accountable because if they put their names on the survey and they said yes and then get in trouble you could add on more consequences because they bribed you into getting something that they wanted so that s my answer let us use our phones and we won t take them out in class and we ll do better in class sincerely student name

group work vs individual work which is better as an th grader i have experienced both working in groups and working alone and i have to say that both have their pros and cons some people might prefer working alone while others might prefer working in groups in this essay i will explore the benefits and drawback sod both approaches and provide real world examples to support my argument firstly let s talk about working in groups when we work in groups we can share ideas and learn from each other s perspectives this can lead to more creative and innovative solutions to problems for instance in my math class we worked on a project where we had to solve a complex problem we divided the task among ourselves and shared our ideas which helped us come up with a better solution than id we were working alone group work also promotes teamwork and communication skills which are essential in any procession on the other hand working alone has its benefits too when we work alone we can focus better and complete tasks master for example when i m writing an essay i prefer to work alone so i can concentrate on my thoughts and express them clearly without any distractions working alone also allows us to take ownership od our work and be responsible for the outcome i d something goes wrong it s all on us which can be a great motivator however there are also some drawbacks to working alone for instance when we work alone we might miss out on valuable ideas and perspectives that could have been contributed by others this can lead to a narrow and limited view od a problem which can hinder our ability to did creative solutions moreover working alone can be isolating and it can be challenging to stay motivated without the support and encouragement od others now some people might prefer working alone because they might be introverted or prefer to work at their own pace they might did it challenging to work in a group setting where they have to communicate and collaborate with others on the other hand some people might prefer working in groups because they enjoy the social aspect od it and did it easier to stay motivated when they re working with others in conclusion both working in groups and working alone have their

how many times have you gotten stuck between a rock and a hard place and asked someone for their advice to help get you out asking someone for their advice can be one of the best tools to help you in tough situations but getting more than one persons advice is even better when you get multiple people advice it allows you to see more than one point of view on the topic you also get lots of advice to listen to and you can think about all your options and choose the advice that s best for you whenever you have problem no matter what kind it is you will always have many different ways of approaching it this is where getting multiple peoples advice can help you not everyone thinks the same way and sometimes seeing the problem through someone else s eyes can give you a different perspective in how to overcome the predicament or they might suggest a different way to approach the problem all together sometimes it can just be refreshing to get someone else s point of view as the old saying goes the more the merrier the world isn t just black and white there s always many ways you can solve a problem that s why the more advice you get the more ways of approaching a problem you ll have sometimes the best thing to do is see all your options when you ask different people for advice they will most likely not all say the same thing getting lots of advice can be very helpful you can use similar things in all this advice to help solve your problem with all this advice and from so many different points of view not all of it is bound to be good for you and that s the best thing when asking so many people for advice you can choose the advice that fits you the best most advice is based off personal experience but not everyone is the same what may work for some people might not work for you but when you have a lot of advice you get to choose the advice that works best for your personal needs while when you only ask one person it may seem like it can only be done one certain way asking multiple people for their advice helps people make better choices by giving them a different perspective gives them a lot of advice to choose from and it helps give you the best advice for you so next time you ask someone else for their advice make sure you remember to ask more than just one person and the next time someone asks you for advice give them this advice too

when you need advice about whether you should go with the pink dress or the blue dress or what kind of dog you should get you might want to ask multiply people for advice i believe that it is smarter to ask multiply people because you might not like the answer one gives you it s good to have a back up plan and it s good to have multiple options of what to do asking multiple people for advice is a great way to weigh out your options and decide what works the best for you if you are trying to decide the best way to break up with your boyfriend then you might ask a friend if that friend says to just go up and say it to his face and not care about what he feels you might not think that s the nicest way to break up with him you would want to ask someone else for advice about what to do because may not like the answer to you got another friend might say to go up and slowly ease him into it see when you ask multiple people you can get another opinion if you don t like the first one imagine you need a dress for the dance on friday you ask a couple of your friends what dress you should get they sent you a list of dresses and you decide that you like the navy one you go to the store and they tell you that they are all sold out of the navy dress normally you would be screwed but then you remember they sent you a whole list you also liked the pink one so you decide to get that one when you ask multiple people you can have a back up plan if one doesn t work out say you want to get a dog you ask all of your friends what the best dog is and why they come up to you and tell about how well they are with kids if they bark a lot if they are hypoallergenic how big they get and how playful and cute they are you look at all your options and decide the best dog for you is the toy poodle when you ask multiple people you get multiple answers and more options to choose from if you only asked one person then you wouldn t get all the information about all the dogs you might only get information about one in conclusion i believe that it is important to ask multiple people for advice you can have multiple ideas for if you don t like one or for if you need a back up plan it s also important to have multiple ideas for great big decisions it can never hurt to ask for multiple people for advice but it can certainly help

brendan rodgers has warned his liverpool players to improve their set piece defending if they are to maintain a push for champions league football walsh two points dropped rodgers side conceded a goal from a free kick in saturday s draw at newcastle as defender paul dummett turned in yohan cabaye s delivery four of the last six goals scored against liverpool have come from set pieces and it is a weakness the manager is determined to sort out liverpool conceded a soft set piece goal in their last home game a victory over crystal palace on oct and dummett s strike on saturday left rodgers side needing to come back from down against a newcastle side reduced to men following the first half sending off of mapou yanga mbiwa for a professional foul on luis suarez it s something that we need to address for sure rodgers told the liverpool echo we have to be more aggressive and more switched on it s concentration the goal at home to crystal palace was disappointing that was a poor goal to give away but thankfully it never cost us here conceding from a set piece put us on the back foot we were looking forward to the second half at and suddenly we were behind it s something for us to work on but in football there is always something to improve on at this moment that is an area for us to look at liverpool dropped from second to third in the premier league following saturday s draw but rodgers believes they can continue their early season momentum the manager is keen to improve significantly on last season s seventh place finish hinting that he wants a strong challenge for champions league qualification at the very least there will come a time when we start looking at when we can challenge but we can t get carried away he added the club finished eighth the year before i came in and we finished seventh last year the jump in terms of finances between there and the top end is massive but we will continue to fight we have stabilised the mentality there s a strong culture at the club now and i think the supporters can see the direction we re going in sixth would be an improvement but also a disappointment as there would still be five teams above us

basic answer there are little if any reasons to think that gmos are bad in general the biggest problem imo with gmos is the way they are used and now the problem can get big some facts wikipedia url monsanto provides of the gmo s in the us and a big part in the whole world so when you talk about gmos that you eat the chances are that you talk about the gmos that monsanto produced monsanto is involved in many legal issues concerning public health i do n t think you should ever trust something you by from it they do n t give a shit about you only your money or someone s money whatever money now how can gmos be bad well there are many different kinds of gmos you could theorically do anything really gmos is just directly hacking into life beings complete mechanism but that is really complicated most of the gmos crop do the following which is probably already much more complicated than it might seem they either provide a plant with a resistance to a certain pesticide most of the time this is round up url this shit is literally toxic to everything make a plant directly produce pesticides and insecticides while this is maybe better for the environment this is certainly worse for you as you ll directly eat all the pesticides the plant produce so it s likely more than if you just use pesticides from outside i did n t search for evidencesof this maybe it s not completly true there is also the patenting of the seeds the fact that a gmo seed branded by a company belongs to that company no matter how it grew this means that ifever a gmo seed arrived in your garden the plant that grows is not yours if you sell it the company it belongs to can sue you for patent infringement well it seems like things are beginning to change a bit url the fun thing about all this well life is strong and resilient we could do a lot of very destructive stuff life would likely come over so what s happening is that some species are now very resistant to products like round up and they really like those fields where there are only those weak plants designed to produce lot of food and forgot how to fight so how do you kill them easy just use more pesticides url

what is your point of view on this argument that we are discussing today here in the sunshine state the florida senator should consider keeping the electoral college voting system to choose onr president because the founding fathers of the united states established this system the popular vote is terrible because in some cases it might be teens or young people that don t know about politics or what they want to give to this country or state they vote on the things that interest them not the country when yon vote for anything your main priority is does this make the country a better place and will bring more benefits to the people in this country or state the electoral college voting system is much easier to count who won because it s a winnertakeall system this can be seen when the popular vote was very close in florida in nevertheless obama who won that vote got electoral votes source this example shows even tho the popular was very close obama still won florida and got those electoral votes there is an another way people view the electoral college and they say that the electoral college is unfair outdated and irrational source they also say the best argument against the electoral college is the disaster factor each person has their own point of view about each thing bnt mine is that we should stay with the electoral college system because it benefits the people in florida and the united states for example in s election for example obama received percent of the electoral vote compared to only percent of the popular votes cast for him and romney because almost all states award electoral votes on a winnertakeall basis even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral vote victory in that state source this shows a certainty of the outcome for that state this also case candidates to not spend their time in states they know they have no chance of winning focusing only on the tight races in the swing states source therefore we should consider keeping the electoral college for various reasons the electoral college has been the voting system of onr country all along why should we change the tradition that onr founding fathers left for ns everything in life happens for a reason i would appreciate it if yon could the electoral college in this beautiful sunshine state florida

when people ask for advice i think that they ask more than one person to hear all the different advice that they can i guess that it might be a good idea to ask multiple people because you will hear a lot of different ideas just ask people that you know good don t just go out somewhere and ask random people because they probably won t care or just gide you bad advice so when you need advice from multiple people just ask your family or ask your good friends because i m sure that they will help you getting advice from different people can be good because they can gide you perfect advice and really help you if you need it and they can all help you if you need good advice you should probably talk to more than one person because it could help you make a better choice than what you are thinking of when girls get advice i m sure that they probably ask all their friends so that s what i meant by that a lot of people ask a lot of different people for advice i m sure that everyday somebody different is asking a lot of their friends or their family for advice because everybody in this world at some point asks their friends or family for advice because they want to hear different peoples opinions and not just their own opinions people ask for advice on multiple different things such as buying a car or buying a house there are a billion different things that you can ask for advice on so it is probably a good and healthy idea to ask other people for their opinion because you don t had to do what they say but you can take their good ideas and think about them and then mix them together and just think until you had a good idea sometimes when your not sure about something just ask for advice because it doesn t cost anything it is easy and it is sometimes helpful to most people i m sure so anytime you need advice don t be scared because who you ask may had some perfect advice that they can gide you and then your problem is folded so don t ever be scared to ask someone for advice when you ask someone for advice it can help you make a better choice so always ask for advice because it can help you

greetings mr scale senator looking over the electoral college their has come lo be a few interesting details yes the process is beautifully though oul bul as we look all il deeper il has ils flaws the founding fathers have given us the electoral college which anarchist are very unappreciative viewing il as a nondemocratic way lo vole if the electoral college system goes then americans can have their full constitutional rights using this process voters are not voting for the electors of their choice voters are voting on higher qualified voters lo vole for the electors the whole process is a violator of the amendment entitled lo voting having this maze of voting for voters what if a voter confuses of whom the electors is voting for so their vole isil actually going lo the candidate of their choice in before the election of john f kennedy the segregationists of the louisiana legislator came very close lo replacing all of the democratic electors with electors who opposed john f kennedy so all the voters in favor of jfk will be voting against him and all the electoral college voles would be going lo the other candidate the indefensible electoral college why even the ballad defenses are wrong al the most basic level the electoral college is unfair lo voters plume makes a very valid point because of the size of sales the electoral college s number of representatives are as big as their sales population so if all of the representatives in alaska vole on the republican candidate and most of the people in california vole for the democratic candidate the electoral college vole in california overrules the vole in alaska the electoral college can make some voters not want lo vole usually because of their scale size their vole doesn count as much many voters in larger sales refuse lo vole because their vole won really change the electoral collage s vole the voters don tl have local control over an electors so the whole election crisis could happen again in conclusion the electoral college may have worked when the colonies were small and the voles counted bul today the modern society doesn appreciate ils lack of constitutional rights all we ask is for our right lo vole lo be given lo us so we can bake part in our government

seeking multiple opinions when making an important decision or asking for advice can help someone make a better more well informed choice there are a few key reasons why getting different perspectives is valuable first no single person can provide a perfectly objective viewpoint we all have our own biases based on personal experiences beliefs and preferences that unconsciously shape the advice we give hearing from multiple sources helps account for individual biases and blind spots it lets you compare what different people say to identify common themes and points of disagreement second different people often have completely different areas of expertise knowledge and life experience that relate to the topic one friend may have professional experience very relevant to a career decision while another has insight into balancing work and family obligations getting advice from more than one individual exposes you to diverse relevant information you d otherwise lack third various advisers can challenge assumptions and prompt new ways of thinking about the situation when we run an idea by only one person it s easy to focus on that perspective and accept their framing of the issue but multiple people may spot limitations or implicit biases in one person s viewpoint and politely point them out this helps prevent tunnel vision and leads to considering all angles finally seeking a variety of counsel acknowledges there are rarely strictly right answers for important subjective choices that impact things like relationships education and career paths weighing the informed opinions of more trusted individuals helps account for uncertainty and reduces pressure to decide prematurely based on a single source it gives space to thoughtfully consider multiple reasonable approaches in conclusion big decisions very rarely have an obvious answer apparent to any one individual tapping into the diverse backgrounds life experiences and thought processes of several trusted advisers serves to provide a well rounded analysis integrating different useful perspectives a choice made with input from multiple respected opinions will generally ye better informed and weighed than one based only on a single source of counsel no matter how well intentioned they may ye

if you re like me you love your android phone very much but your phone might die on you if you take it out of its box android s operating system is constantly updating and the more times your device uses your data the more sensitive these pieces of information get it s one thing to want to ensure that your device doesn t get old but it s another to put that data out there in the open a group of hackers in ukraine have released what they believe is the world s most secure android data container yet it s called the vault and it comes with access to the encryption keys for any and all data stored on your phone no matter who gets your phone you still need to give them permission first via gizmodo and there s no way to encrypt those keys once they re stored in your device this is especially true if you choose to share your phone via a service like dropbox or dropbox this may appear to be an obvious weakness but vault has a few things up its sleeve first of all it makes use of a technique known as asymmetric key cryptography which is meant to make sure that you can t brute force crack the encrypted data if the encryption key somehow gets out this means that whoever gets your phone must have a specific key in order to decrypt your data vault uses a bit aes encryption system with aes being one of the most common encryption algorithms used on phones that bit key is protected by a bit random number generator that can only make one key guess per second and so even in the event of a brute force attack can never decrypt your data vault is compatible with google s project sauron which means that the app is meant to make your phone more secure and harder to hack advertisement the biggest factor in vault s security is the fact that it s designed specifically for android if you want to see more information about how it protects your data the app s developer has written a full blog post about how it works vault is available now on the google play store for and it s currently only available in ukraine there s no mention of when it might come to the west but if you re eager to see a more secure android data container this seems like a great starting point

the real world is full of real people the young actor wrote on facebook earlier this week the actor was talking about a recent trip with his wife to a small community where a mother and son were recently killed in a house fire the actor who had only been in the united states for a few months wrote that when he went to the scene it was difficult to imagine a world where this kind loving smart woman might have to go out to that same small community to pick up her son in the middle of the night after he had been murdered a part of me died the day i stepped back into his house i cried the actor wrote about the incident that took place several years ago the real world is full of real people the actor who is also a prominent social activist also noted that the woman who survived being burned alive was unable to be at peace my hands were shaking in a panic and it felt like i was going to pass out but all i could do was focus on the mother who was comforting her child he wrote i didn t say a word because i didn t want her to feel afraid i didn t want to make her cry so when she finally saw me she hugged me and i hugged her back she was so strong and so brave and she could have been the one standing there in those flames the real world can do it all at the end of the day his family thanked the community for their thoughts on a gofundme page t hey re beautiful words which really break my heart the page states i feel so grateful to my incredible family i always love reading your comments read the actor s heartfelt missive below a part of me died the day i stepped back into his house i cried the real world is full of real people it s why we wake up every day in our bodies to do something about it we are at our greatest work when we are in the real world when we have the ability to do good on a real scale we don t see the true beauty and power of people when they are sitting in a glass house because they aren t the person we see the real world is full of real people we are all going to die young it s part of the process of growing up but we are better than death because we will remember our dead we will be connected to the person we loved and the person we love for who they are regardless of how that person died that is the true beauty of the world

a most curious subject matter for a painting another version perhaps from the collections of the hermitage dated is on file at wikipedia the painter pierre subleyras is apparently well known he was a remarkably incisive portraitist as evident from the portrait of pope benedict xiv or of the obese cardinal valenti gonzaga the pope himself commanded two great paintings the marriage of st catherine and the ecstasy of st camilla which he placed in his own private apartments subleyras shows greater individuality in his curious genre pictures which he produced in considerable number louvre in his illustrations of fontaine and boccaccio his true relation to the modern era comes out the painting embedded above is from the latter category re the subject matter i found an indication that the embedded painting is called the pack saddle with an explanation that the story by fontaine is of an artist who painted an ass animal on his wife as a test of her fidelity reasoning that any extramarital activity would smudge or erase the painting the man who cuckolded him however repainted the ass adding a pack saddle on the animal perhaps some reader more knowledgeable on classic literature or art can clarify the details addendum a hat tip to reader mbarnato who found the relevant text by jean de la fontaine it is a poem which in translation is entitled the pack saddle a famous painter jealous of his wife whose charms he valued more than fame or life when going on a journey used his art to paint an ass upon a certain part umbilical tis said and like a seal impressive token nothing thence to steal a brother brush enamoured of the dame now took advantage and declared his flame the ass effaced but god knows how twas done another soon howe er he had begun and finished well upon the very spot in painting few more praises ever got but want of recollection made him place a saddle where before he none could trace the husband when returned desired to look at what he drew when leave he lately took yes see my dear the wily wife replied the ass is witness faithful i abide zounds said the painter when he got a sight what you d persuade me ev ry thing is right i wish the witness you display so well and him who saddled it were both in hell embedded image found at first time user

why does people intend to ask multiple people for advice asking more than one person for advice is usually better than asking one person because asking one person does not have enough evidence than asking for more than one person some people ask multiple people to see which of the advice is said a lot more that way the people that ask knows which advice is better to use and which advice is true one example of people asking multiple answer or advice is steve harvey from the show family feud the crew and steve go around the city and ask more than multiple people for their answer to a specific question steve usually says we ask men or women that is steve harvey asking multiple people for an answer to one question why do you think steve did that well he did that to see which answer is the most said and use it for the number one answer i usually ask more than one person for an answer to see which one of the answer is said the most some people might say the answer is c and some people might say the answer is d that is very confusing to me since there is answers and the question only allow me to picked one so what i did was i asked people and see which answer they said the most what i got was people picking the answer c and person picking the answer d in this case more people chose the answer c than d so i picked the answer c asking for more than one person is a good thing because it can help someone to make a better choice some people may be shy to ask multiple people but sometimes it can make you get a better answer some people are made to help each other try asking and see if they answer if they don t answer then ask another person for an answer asking people is not a bad thing but asking a few more people is better so that you know which answer really is the best in conclusion asking multiple people can help you make a better choice asking multiple people is also good for advice if you are a mean person and you need advice on how to be a better person than the best way is to ask more than one person on how to be a better person some people may not believe this is true because they haven t experienced it in their life asking multiple people is the best way to get an answer to any question you may have

dear principal i think that your decision is fair everyone knows that school comes first and activities come after i do have a few arguments and suggestions on this subject though we do know that onr school or even the bigger picture america has a wide variety of people some people are at better in some subjects than others some may have a hard time focusing as well although we should all pnt forth onr the best effort some of ns just can t succeed in things i don t think it is fair for these challenged people to be punished for trying there best a better way to tackle the situation is to discover who these people are and compromise with them yon could ask their teachers if they show perseverance and respect everyone should respect their elders and if they don t they shouldn t be able to play school sports the main point of this is everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and to punish people for that is discouraging instead of allowing people to play on school sports teams based on their grades yon should make the decision based on their respect and attitude towards school if they take school seriously and respect their peers then they should be allowed to be active in sports now there may be people that claim they are respectful and get decent grades bnt yon know they don t they might show that they want to participate in these activities very badly bnt yon ll have to stick with your decision a good way of compromising however is to offer ideas to the student these options for he or she will allow them to be on the team some options could be staying after school every day for the next weeks to catch np on the work and write apology letters to the people they disrespect they also could do community service for a set amount of time lastly they could help rnn errands for teachers including yourself if they are willing to do these things too gain respect and be on a sports team then yon should allow them to do so if they fight back and say things like that s unfair or no way then don t pnt any more thought into it and let them go although the meetings that yon will have to have with these students may be plentiful the outcome will be well worth it the students will be more divalent bnt also will have more fan this is a great opportunity to fix the disrespectful students and allow school to be fan sincerely a student

plato on knowledge and opinion essay plato s republic develops the concept of the types of knowledge the primary division of plato s classification is the division of knowledge into sensory and intellectual knowledge the first category of knowledge namely sensory knowledge is perceived as a lower type and intellectual knowledge is the higher one intellectual knowledge is divided into thinking noesis and reason dianoia by thinking plato understands the activity of the mind alone free from the admixture of sensuality by reason plato understands this kind of intellectual knowledge in which the subject of cognition also uses the mind to understand sensible things sensual knowledge plato also divides into two areas faith pistis and likeness eicasia through faith one perceives things as existing and affirms them as such likeliness is no longer a kind of perception but an intellectual action with sensory images of things according to plato feelings cannot be the source of true knowledge he considers knowledge as ability or even power the most influential of all that a person possesses closely related to these differences is plato s distinction between knowledge and opinion the opinion is neither knowledge nor ignorance it is vaguer than knowledge but more precise than ignorance it is in between these two categories unlike opinion knowledge is a potency a special kind of existence i understand plato s distinction between opinion and knowledge opinions can be both true and wrong and their true value can fluctuate socrates the protagonist in plato s republic suggests creating an ideal city as a model for regulating the individual soul the city s guardians must be moral and unselfish living modestly and communally as soldiers do in their camps thus according to plato people who have a moral and intellectual approach to governance issues should govern a just republic these people in their decisions should rely on the knowledge because only it can provide them with an accurate perception of reality free from feelings the opinions of modern politicians such as for example joe biden influence the decisions made in government which from plato s point of view is not acceptable the mental activity of the head of state should be aimed at comprehending eternal questions not the current and changing world

can you tell if someone is happy or sad using technology to read students facial expressions can help out in so many days a classroom computer can read a student facial expressions they use facial imagery humans perform the same calculations every day these are the things that makes the facial action coding system useful a classroom computer could recognize then a student is becoming bored or is happy or sad if you smile then an ad pops up on your screen another similar ad might appear but if an ad pops up and you groin then it ion t have the same ad come up again because of this the students would be happier and cheerful if a student ias sad or bored then working on a lesson then it would change the lesson and make it more fun and then it would be more effective this would make the children learn more and not dread being at school using video imagery to recognize the facial emotion this heights the different units of the face so that the software can identify mixed emotions because of this they can tell all the different things the painting ias feeling every expression is compared against a face that shows no emotion at all this is so that they can know that to look for in the face and see the differences between a neutral face and a face with mixed emotions humans perform the same calculations every day humans can tell if someone is sad or worried etc by their facial expressions because of this ie know peoples feelings sometimes we would have trouble describing exactly that they were feeling just by looking at their face but that s that the facial action coding system does this is saying that people can t tell exactly that other people are feeling just by their faces so that that the facial system does the facial action coding system does so many great things that would help schools and society it helps with schooling because it could make it more fun they use video imagery which helps recognize the facial emotion and humans perform this act every day but the facial system helps with expressing the emotion these all help the world in so many days

the importance of recycling in the st century cannot be overstated with the world population growing and resources becoming increasingly limited it is essential to look for ways to reduce waste and preserve our environment while still maintaining a high quality of life recycling provides numerous benefits that can help us achieve this goal in an efficient manner first recycling helps conserve natural resources by reducing the demand for raw materials such as wood metals and plastics according to the environmental protection agency epa every ton of recycled material saves up to cubic yards of landfill space this means that less land needs to be used for garbage disposal which helps preserve wild habitats and open spaces around our cities and towns additionally when materials are reused or repurposed through recycling programs instead of being discarded into landfills there is a reduction in air pollution from burning non renewable sources like coal or oil as well as ground water contamination caused by leaching chemicals from garbage sites into rivers and streams nearby communities depend on for drinking water supplies secondly recycling also reduces energy consumption since it takes much less energy to turn old products into new ones than it does creating products out of new materials entirely according epa estimates less energy is required this not only makes economic sense but also helps decrease carbon emissions released during manufacturing processes an important consideration given recent reports about climate change s effects on global weather patterns due rising temperatures across planet earth s surface areas in addition with conservation measures such as planting trees we could help mitigate some short term environmental damage until longer lasting solutions like widespread renewable energies become available for mass adoption rates at home commercial settings alike finally there are financial incentives associated with participating in local government run recycling programs too many municipalities offer rebates or tax credits when households separate paper cardboard aluminum plastic etc from their regular trash cans so those items get recycled rather than thrown away

emotional recognition software also known as the facial action coding system facs has sparked both awe and concern in many educational institutions due to its capabilities of decoding human emotions through facial expressions as someone who has experienced the classroom setting firsthand my initial thoughts are mixed when it comes to the use of such technology although there is no denying it is impressive the idea of computers monitoring and analyzing my emotions in the classroom seems a bit intrusive and even unnecessary according to expert nick d alto the human brain already has the capability to intuitively interpret emotions thus adding this technology seems redundant and may not be effective in improving learning outcomes additionally concerns about privacy are also valid it is understandable that teachers would want to know when their students are experiencing confusion or boredom so they can adapt their teaching methods accordingly however the use of facs may not be able to determine the underlying causes of emotions which could lead to the unnecessary intrusion of students private feelings the potential consequences of such an invasion far outweigh the benefits the practical considerations of implementing facs in a classroom also pose significant financial constraints it would require personalized computers for each student to ensure that the system works in real time such a setup would also be disruptive to the learning process and would require constant adjustment which seems impractical in most group settings in conclusion technology can enhance education in countless ways but when considering the use of emotional recognition software there are more risks than rewards it is crucial that we do not forget about the value of traditional teaching methods that rely on human connection and intuition instead of relying solely on technology we should aim to strike the appropriate balance and embrace the benefits of human centered approaches in the classroom the potential privacy risks and practicality concerns associated with facs suggest that the implementation of such technology is more likely to cause problems than it is to solve any sources johnson l and smith r making mona lisa smile educational technology news january february pp

the technology use to read emotional expressions of students can be valuable the reasons why i think this is because if you can calculate emotions you can see from all the emotions like happiness surprise anger digest fear and sadness all of these have their own facial muscles like when your surprised your eyebrows rise which is your frontal is par laterals muscle another reason why this might be valuable is people who have emotion problems it can help doctors determine weather it s a muscle that isn t working properly or some kind of nerve it can be helpful to people who are depressed some people may have trouble showing their emotions they can show a web ad and if you smile a similar ad high follow chich that is very true some people aren t interested in things as others are a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored this is also an amazing thing for the professors out there and teachers some students are shy and won t go up or raise there hand for help i was like this all the way up to my sophomore year of high school and that isn t very good that s why some students are struggling at this very moment their confused needing help but won t speak up knowing one or more of your students are confused will help you people can tell by your expressions what and how you are feeling by trying to see if someone is trustful look at how they smile the mouth being stretched using the zygotic major and a different muscle the rigorous faces don t lie to you it s satisfying how when practicing or moving your facial muscles not only express emotions but also may help produce them putting smile on your face will help you away be happy and keep one on your face it is crazy how much you can learn by just reading something with so much science you never would have known this computer device will help to determine what makes a person feel the way they feel which is a brilliant idea because not only is it useful for entertainment but also for serious problems or issues i agree that the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is very valuable
