ebc0784 | One day in the lab two people were arguing over the face of the natural landform. Tthe one said spacecraft normally looks straight down. Alien markings were hidden by a haze. A surveyor is a mapping spacecraft that normally looks straight down. mars golobal surveyor drew close enough for a second look. The face on mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude were it was winter in april 98 a cloudy time of year on the red planet. The camera on board had to peer through wispy clouds to see the face. malin team captured an extraordinary photo using the cameras absolute maximum resolution. As a rule of thumb you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size he added. There were objects in this picture like airplans on the ground or egyptian style pyramids or even small shacks you could see what they were. each one finly decided on the ones dicesion. | 01 |
b47efae | i think it is very valuable because it knows if youre happy or or sad which helps in a lot of ways. another intresting example would be "a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored."and the technology is so good it can make computer animated faces more expressive accroding to the text and can too for surgery videos. and the computer may not detect your emotional communication but noted dr. huang said "so computers need to understand that too.
"The proccess begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face" and all 44 important muscles in the model must move like human muscles."it also says that we may some times not really know what is wrong with our friends and sometimes we can becaus of there facial expresion. or just behavior in general but sometimes they dont want to show that emotion or what is in them the computer can detect all of that.
so i personally think it would be great because some people are usually shy and wouldnt really express there selfs to the class as if they were with there friends. so all we would have to do is just by a sinlge glimpes on the computer we can tell what is going on maybe something happend. and she doesnt really know what to do so she seeks help from a counceler and she just checks what is going on with her and just by that maybe her whole life could change by checking the computer. tech is advancing a lot and is helping the sociatey positivley and yet negativlily but hopefully one day it will all come down to nothing but potive stuff. | 12 |
1b3fba8 | Dear Mr. Senator,
There are many ways to go about elections of any kind, as you may know vey well seeing that you have been in one or more yourself. This country is about the will of the people supported by their government to excel and achieve the various goals they may very well have. Voting is one of those insintives people revieve, and how it is set up is an important part of that. We should keep relying on the Electoral College to succeed in keeping our country a democracy.
Having the Electoral College is a safe way to ensure that all people in every state get to voice their opinion while still keeping in mind the majority as a priority. As stated by author Richard A. Posner, people vote for a slate of electors, not the president, whom are entrusted to vote for the presidential candidate they represent. The number of electors is determined by the population of the state, which basically means the number of members in that state's House of Representatives and two for the Senate, as stated in Source 1: What Is the Electoral College? This ultimately would provide fair numbers for the overall count without making the smaller states feel insignificant.
Even with the smaller states being fairly included people argue that candidates do not pay attention to them and disreguard their overallvotes so we should switch to popular votes. These accusations may be true in a sense but what is to be expected if they dont account for as much or maybe they are already accounted for as "decided", as stated by Richard P. Would you campaign in a place like that? Especially since having elections be decided by popular votes could result in run-off elections to which no clear winner is evident, they would result in a tie, as included by Richard A. Posner. Having a tied election would end up giving the HOR overall election power, as presented in Source 1: What Is the Electoral College, so their arguement is not considerate of all possibly outcomes.
All in all, sticking with the Electoral College seems to be the best bet for our democratic country. Electors are trustworthy, with few faults, and the system is set up in a way that is fair to all. Keeping this system just making elections easy, fair, and helps to prevent ties and future headaches for all whom are involved | 23 |
9a08fed | Hey! The names Luke Bomberger,And it's really "cool" to be a Seagoing Cowboy,How bout' you be one to? When your a Seaging Cowboy you can go and explore places that look interesting to you,oh...and I went to Veince,And I guessed it was pretty intersting and also,Italy and China. I "graduated" in highschool and I had two part jobs until someone offered me a job as a Seagoing Cowboy,Well..I couldn't resist,but to say yes.
Anyways....
Theres also different reasons to join the Seagoing Cowboys,its not all about exploring new things if you already knew, You can learn play stuff like "sports" or learn values or get some pointers of working as a Seagoing Cowboy.
Will you ever help someone,So we can make it seem like were "useful hard workers"? Hope so.. :|
But....
Im glad to be a "Seagoing Cowboy",And I hope join us and we can do lots of things together to help eachother out,remeber im Luke Bomberger and Im a Seagoing Cowboy!
Bye Bye :P | 12 |
4455bef | Hello,I am an astronomer at NASA. I am here to discuss that the "face" discovored in Mars is FAKE.
My reason that the "face" discovered in Mars is fake because the area where the "face" was discovored (Cydonia) has stroms their a lot and snow. So, there is a possibility that it was huge landform and the weather wore off the the landform to the point where it was a face. About a month ago we have released the picture in a JPL web site, revealing that the "face" is just another landform.
As of right now we are trying to look at the "face" to look and conclude it is another Landform and not "aliens". we have also found that the landmass is the bottleneck of a volcano so maybe in a few years it will erupt and prove that it's not a face.
Yes, we have made history by taking one little picture that we can't even look at it. If you wanna look at the "face" just look up these coordinates. 41 degrees north martian latitude. maybe you will see it as a landform and not a face.
This the astronomer at NASA, and this me proving that this landform is not a "face". thank you for your time to reading this and goodbye. By the way it is a mesa. | 23 |
7d4b0c4 | "What's the matter bud?" Thomas says to his best friend, Charlie, as he doesn't carry his huge smile today as usual.
"Oh it's nothing." replies Charlie who's obviously not as happy as he always is. Thomas would sure like to know how is friend is feeling; but he can't because there's no humanly way possible to if Charlie doesn't want him to know right? Well actually he can. There's a new kind of technology called Facial Action Coding System, or FACS, which enables computers to identify human emotions. The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is very valuable. Like in "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, it could be used to show when a kid is becoming bored and let the teacher know so that the instructor could switch the lesson up to grab the kid's attention. Another effective was it could be used would be for it to show how some kids are feeling to limit them getting into any kinds of trouble. And finally it could be used to detect if one student just isn't grasping the matter of the subject that everyone else is getting with no problem. There are endless ways this technology could be used to better a classroom and this technology should be used in a classroom with students.
In the article, Nick D'Alto used a quote from Dr. Huang which was "'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'" In the sense that kids often time get bored in class, hence the reason they have a bad grade or get in trouble in that class, something has to change. Maybe it's the child's fault, but your traditional lesson isn't the most fun. If the instructor could find out what's boring the child and change the lesson to keep the child entertained then maybe the child wouldn't get into so much trouble with that teacher or maybe the child's grade in the class would take a huge leap. Who says learning can't be fun? With FACS learning could be something kids like to do.
In addition to keeping everyone awake, FACS could be used to keep people who aren't feeling too good get better. Everyone deals with things that others probably don't know about. With FACS a student could come into class like Charlie and no one knows about his frustrations so they try to do their normal jokes and games with him. If a student ever comes into class not feeling the best or not wanting to be bothered, FACS could sense that and instead of people messing with that kid or having that kid be bothered, that child could have the option of being away from everyone while the child cools down. That could stop the child from being involved in a physical altercation or any altercations at that.
Finally, everyone knows that all children learn at their own speed. FACS could be used to find out whose stuck on someting that everyone is flying through.
When the teacher is teaching something that everyone but one student understands and the teacher stops for questions, that one student may feel too embarrassed to ask a question so the lesson would go on and only get more difficult as time goes by. Instead of that happening, FACS would let the teacher know what kid that is so that the teacher could reach out to the kid and give them extra practice or even a little tutoring if they need it, that could really be a huge help to children that don't learn as fast as others. Usong FACS to determine that could really translate for the great or good of the grades of students everywhere.
In order to make the classroom a more happy place, a better place, FACS should be used with students. FACS could detect bordem so that no kid is bored enough to drift into space or sleep and miss valuable work time. FACS would be good for keeping kids that are dealing with things away from people that'll trigger them. Also FACS can be used to show weather or not children have questions and need help but are embarrassed to say so. The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is very valuable. | 45 |
93ba20a | This article is about a small town near the french and swiss borders its name is Vauban. Vauban ha a unique community they have no cars!. yeah thats right no cars there is a no automobile law in this small town which makes a lot of people like the mother of two ms. Heidrun walter. she says that she is "much happier this way because when i had a car i was always tense". people could walk down the street and not worry about wether or not a person is going to lose control of their car and smash into them or even worse.
In 2006 the united states and other areas started to try these things and they called it "smart planning". car ownership is allowed but there are only two parking areas-large garages at the edge of the development where a car-owner buys a space for $40,000, along with a home. vauban, home to 5,500 residents within a rectangular square mile, is the most advanced experiment in low car suburban life. "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change," said david goldberg. | 01 |
f36b244 | Today I was having an agument with my buddy. This argument was about "The Face on Mars". We both had our own opinions on what we thought it was. We weere sitting in my living room on the tan couch with the television on. My friend was tall with blonde hair and skinny. I had brown hair and was average height. I worked for Nasa so I had seen pictures of what it was and had proof that it was only a mesa and it was an illusion to the human eye.
Zeke thought it was an artifact on once living life on Mars. He thought Nasa was going to say it was something else so people wouldn't truly know what it was. He thought Nasa was trying to keep it in the dark so noone would try and travel there to get closer looks on it and steal there idea. Zeke thought we needed to run further studies to truely figure out what this was.
I told Zeke that it was only a landform on Mars and not some alien artifact. I told him that it was a mesa which was common in this area of Mars. I also explained how shadows made it look like a face and how it was all an illusion that was visible to the human eye. They said that this landform was nothing more than a landorm on Mars that wasnt what it had appered to be.
Zeke, who was a man of what he said, did not believe me and wouldn't take my word for it. Once he got an idea in his head it wasn't going to move for anything. It did not matter what proof you showed him he wouldn't believe as single word. He argued with me about if or hours until finally we decided that we wouldn't argue about it anymore. He still told me he thought his idea was right and I was completly wrong.
I told Zeke i worked for Nasa so I would know way more than he does an I insured him it was not an alien artifact and it was just a mesa which looked to be something it wasn't and that he shouldn't be so stubborn about it and just believe me. Knowing Zeke I didn't thnk he would even budge. Of course i was right and Zeke didn't sway his answer at all.
I offered to show him prove. I had pictures of the event and so I showed him. He finally could see what we saw. He decided that he needed to look closer into the pictures. He came back the next morining and we sat down and ate donuts and drank some coffe. He gave me back the pictures and he said "You know I think those pictures didn't help change my mind at all" | 12 |
c4deb2e | Limit Of Car Usage
When you think about limiting car usage you might think "Well how am I supposed to get there. Theres no way i'm able to get to my destination without a car." Yes, I'm pretty sure we all would'nt want to walk five thousand miles to visit a friend three hours away, but here me out. Doesnt a car make you all tired? Knowing you have to pay a bill every month, or getting gas four times a week. Just imagine a world where thats not a problem.
In Vauban Germany they are most of the time a car free zone. Owners of cars aren't allowed to have cars in there garage or in the streets or wherever a car would normally be. They have to keep there cars in a space they buy at the edge of the community for $40,000 plus the paying for their homes. Now I wouldnt want to pay all this money to park my car. Most people in suburban homes sold their vehicles so that they could live there without a problem. Heidren Walter said," When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." She says as she's walking down the street she can actual listen to the communtity of children playing and not be drown out from the loud motor in the car.
Now, limiting car usage doesnt mean we all have to walk to our destinations. We could start using bicycles more often and actually get a benifit of working out. Sure it might make you all sweaty and gross. But make a plan to get up a little earlier and then wash up at wherever it is you are to be. And limiting cars doesnt mean every single one of us need to give up our cars. Instead we can find a friend who lives near to us or a fellow co-worker and car pool. Instead of all two hundred employes lugging their cars on the road and getting stuck in torturous traffic. make a plan to get five people in a car and instead of two hundred cars on their way to work, there would only be about fourty cars going to the same place. That would clear up our roads and ruduce traffic. In France Congestion was down sixty percent after reducing cars.
"Diesel makes up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Westurn Europe.." ,according to Robert Duffer. People today are now worrying to much on their cars and how much it will cost them. Not worrying about jobs and insurance. The invention of the car was not to see who can get the most miles or whos car gets better horse power. It was about helping people get from A to B, and we can do just that.
There are many people out here who will think that limiting car use is a waste of time and like to keep things the same. But we can be the generation who changes that. If we could go down to one car a family and start car pooling with one another, or even start using bikes to go to places with our friends, we can help make the community a better place. One day just try. Try walking to the super market. Instead of making your mom drive you and your friends to the mall, try making a plan to all ride your bikes there. It doesnt hurt to try, so try to start. | 45 |
50d3e20 | Some people are better at hiding emotions than others, but with a recent innovation from Thomas Huang, a professer at the Bechman Institute for Advanced Science, hiding emotions may no longer be so easy. With the software that was recently created, computers can read emotions off of somebody's face. This information is discussed in Nick D'Alto's article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," which talks about many of the aspects of what the Facial Action Coding System can do. Though there can be some cons with this software, they are out-weighed by all of the pros, especially ones found in classrooms. In classrooms if a computer can sense confusion, boredom, or even anger then a teacher can help the student with whatever barriers they are facing.
Classrooms contain various emotions, including anywhere from sadness to rage. According to D'Alto, "...the software can even identify mixed emotions..." That can be very valuable for classrooms so the software can read whether the student may be upset and confused, or bored and uninterested. Once the teacher gets ahold of that information then they will be able to help the student and tend to them by their needs. If a student is confused then the teacher will be more likely to be sympathetic and helpful, while if a student is bored then the teacher might give them more challenging work. Although some people may think that the Facial Action Coding System is a phony, it is proven to be otherwise. In fact, it is very well developed and the article states, "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." Not only has this software been tested many times, it has been constructed so it can read facial muscles and destinguish the emotions well.
Along with the fact that the Facial Action Coding System can help teachers figure out how students are feeling about certain lessons, it also gives teachers more one on one time with students who need the help. D'Alto says that the software, "could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." When the software does that, it can make a lesson harder for the people who need it or easier for others. Since the lesson can modify itself to the needs of students, that gives the teacher to go around and give help to those in need. Not only can a student get help from their computer, but they can get help from their teacher if needed to. That allows for a student to get two times the amount of help that they could get without the Facial Action Coding System. Some people may disagree with this and think that a computer does not have all of the resources that students need to understand a lesson. Though some people may think that face-to-face learning is more effective, it does not always work that way. In the article Dr. Huang says "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication... So computers needd to understand that, too." Every student is different and learns differently. Many times communication is nonverbal and is just by facial expressions. If a computer can understand that as well a teacher does, there is no problem with computers helping out students.
Another reason why the Facial Action Coding System can help students is because if the students know others are confused as well, then they can help each other out. Dr. Huang says that, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal." If students start to understand how others are feeling about certain concepts then they might not feel as alone. Some students tend to think that it is only them that do not understand a certain subject or unit, but if computers track and show that even though some people might not look worried and they are, students might feel more united. If they are united then that can help each other out and maybe even build friendships. People may disagree with that and say that not all facial expressions are the same, but, "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression," they are still universal. While one student might be stressing himself out and have wide eyes, a student next to him might just have his eyebrows furrowed. If the computers identify the differences in actions but similarities in emotions, that can really help students.
The Facial Action Coding System is a huge leap in the computer world, and also the education system. If schools took this software into consideration and allowed students to use it, it woud be very beneficial for everyone around them. Kids would get work that suited their abilities and they could get one on one time with the teacher if needed. If the teacher was busy, if the students were able to identify others' emotions from around them, maybe they would not feel so scared to go up to a classmate and ask for help. The Facial Coding System holds many beneficial factors that could help grow the education system and help individual students grow. | 56 |
5c0dcf4 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile", it describes how this new technology called the "Facial Action Coding System" can identify human emotions and how it's is a very useful piece of technology. I have to agree, this new technology can be very helpful to many people.
For example, in paragraph six line six to eight it says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" (Dr. Huang predicts). "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor". This not only can know how students are feeling about a certain lesson or problem in class, but can also ajust it's way of learning to a way that is best understandable for the students. Once sadisfied, and the computer reads that the student is "happy" with it, they'll finally be able to learn more and get a lot of their work done. Not only is this a really spectacular piece of technology, but a very useful one at that.
Reads a persons emotions, modified lessons to fit a student's understanding; once satisfied or "feeling happy" with it, a student can then work easier along with getting a lot more work done. I mean, does this not sound very useful and benificial to many people, to many students. This new piece of technology is going to help many students, and I for one would love to use the "Facial Action Coding System". | 12 |
c680658 | You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. This would be a great opportunity to see diffrent parts if the world. I think for the most part it would be a great time and a good experens for people.
Oneof the reasons for this you would be able to see new shights and see new thangs. Now whould that be fun to see new thangs that you never seen before. Think about that for a second thank about all of the monuments great things that in your every day life you whould mot get to see. Luke said " it was a great adveture."
There is outher reasons to here is one more reason. You whould get be on sea and see the ocean every day. Now you tell me whould that be nice just to wake up and see and smell the ocean. Luke said" he loved being on the ocean. Maybe if you were you whould get to see a whale on while on the ocean you know.
Here is one more reason to tie it all up animals you would get to take care of animals. Now i'll tell you this if I got to wake up to an animal happy to see me. Whould that make you happy. So in conclution whould you like this job cause I know Luke did.
So whould you agree whith me would you like this job. Or do you not it's all up to it's not my choice its your. If you want to know my apinon I whould take the job it sounds fun. It whould be fun. | 23 |
6ef257d | The Facial Action Coding System is an impressive creation.
It shows advancements in technology that could potentially make everyday activities much simpler.
There is a place and time when this sort of technology could be useful.
However, I feel that this technology is not for everyone.
The Facial Action Coding System is not valuable in valuable for students in a classroom, because it takes away peoples privacy, it is expensive, and students can reach out to teachers if needed.
The first reason why I think that the Facial Action Coding System is uneccessary, is that it takes away people's privacy.
We live in a world that technology controls most of our life.
Sometimes this is useful and it makes our lives much easier. However, when personal information given out on the internet gets into the hands of the wrong people, bad things happen.
The Facial Acting Coding System might make people feel uncomfotable, especially since you are giving away what you look like to the device.
Students might not want to have to be obligated to use this sort of technology, and they shouldn't have to be.
The second reason why I think that the Facial Action Coding System is uneccessary, is that it's expensive.
A lot of money goes into paying for the technology that we use in schools.
Some students get school laptops, which is essential for some of the homework that we are assigned.
Some teachers get electronic whiteboards in the classroom to further enhance the teaching that they do.
However, a Facial Action Coding System is not needed for the amount of money that would go into it.
Most highschools have a lot of classrooms, ours has three floors, and the price we'd pay to put this device in each room would not be worth it.
The final reason why I think that the Facial Action Coding System is uneccessary, is that students can reach out to their teachers if needed.
There are students who struggle with subjects they learn in school.
I happen to struggle learning socail studies since I was in fifth grade.
The biggest mistake I've made that could have lead to this, is that I did'nt reach out to my teachers.
I was getting a D in social studies in fifth grade and it came to the point where my mother made me reach out to not only my teacher, but the principal.
I sat in a room and my mother, my teacher, and the principal all discussed with me why I was going off track and they gave me a chance to improve.
I did not need a Facial Action Coding System to tell me what was going wrong.
Students just need to talk with their teacher if they confused.
The teacher should not have to modify their lesson all the time because students are becoming bored of their class.
There may be a place in time that the Facial Action Coding System is useful, like to detect if a politician isn't being truthful, as stated in the article.
However, this technology just is not fitted for a classroom, because it takes away people's privacy, it is expensive, and students can reach out to their teacher if needed.
The classroom is a place where students learn, not become subjects of distracting technology. | 34 |
c11c0f6 | The Face on Mars is just a natural landform. Many people think that the Face was created by aliens, but this is not correct. There is no proof that shows that the face was created by aliens, but there is much information to back up the fact that the Face is just a natural landform.
In the passage, Garvin says, "'As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size,' he added. 'So, if there were objects in the picture like airplanes on the gorund or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!'" This shows that even when people from NASA zoomed in on the face to get a better look at it, they couldn't find any sign of alien life which means that there is a very low possibility that there are aliens that could've done this.
Another reason that shows that aliens couldn't have done this is when the passage says, "Thousands of anxious web surfurs were waiting when the image first apperared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." If scientists at NASA have studied this face and taken many pictures but still can't find any type of alien life, then there isn't any.
The last piece of evidence that shows that aliens didn't make the Face is when the text says, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. 'It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,' says Gavin. 'That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.'" Many scientists would let the public know if they were any signs of aliens making the Face to keep us informed so the people wouldn't constantly be thinking and talking about it every day.
There is much information to back up the fact that the Face is just a landform. The public started to make up theories that made other people talk about it constantly, but scientists from NASA proved them wrong by showing them pictures on the Internet that there are no traces of aliens on or around the Face. | 34 |
2fb6d78 | My name is Luke and I'm going to tell you a couple reasons you should join the Seagoing Cowboys progam. It allows you to go to different places around the world. For example, you could go to Greece and see the Acropolis. I turned 18 before we arrived at Greece, which ment I could be drafted for military service. They told me to just keep working on the cattle boat, and that would count as my service.
Joining the Seagoing Cowboys program means you also get to work with animals. Some of the animals you get to work with are horses, young cows, and mules. It can take a while to get to our destination. It took two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States, and a month to get to China!
The Seagoing Cowboys program can be very fun. Sometimes, the cowboys play games, such as, baseball, volleyball, and table tennis. Being a Seagoing Cowboy can be fun, but it can be dangerous at times. On my second trip across the Atlantic Ocean as a cowboy, I was a night watchman. I was supposed to check on the animals every hour. One rainy night, after making my hourly report, I slipped down a ladder. My feet shot toward an opening on the side of the ship.
If there wasn't a strip of metal that caught my side, I wouldn't be here today. I couldn't work for a while because i broke a few ribs. I thought that was fine, because I was still alive. I'm very grateful for the opporrtunity, because it made me aware of people in other countries and their needs. Its a wonderful expierence helping someone in need. See their face light up when you help them makes you feel amazing. I'm proud to be a Seagoing Cowboy. | 23 |
1b0676e | I agree with the claim against the value of using this technology to read student's emotional expressions. First off, we perform these calcutions everyday, as we can tell if our friend is happy or sad by looking at their face most of the time. Also, video imagery tells us that the facial emotions for each emotion are universal. Another big reason is that we really don't know just how much computers can do, it can be where computers detect whether you're happy or sad.
Performing this calculation every day, we would have trouble describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc. However, we can also use human anatomy to help paint precisely enough to convey specific emotions. New computer software has anatomical information as electronic code. Video imagery which is the new emotion-recognition software which tracks these facial movements in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa. The software can detect mixed emotions by weighing the different units. We really don't know how much the computer can do, it can detect if you're happy or sad, and make computer-animated faces.
In a whole, this is a lot to disagree with, since computers are taking over our world now so I believe this is a great idea. Reason being is that we have video imagery, the amazing and undiscovered knowledge of a computer, and our own brains because we calculate expressions on our own every day. These our all major factors that align with the fact that I believe technology should be able to read students' emotional expressions. | 12 |
3978930 | My thoughts on the " Facial Action Coding Sytems" is that it may work but it also may not work cause we can't always count on technology to tell us if it's right or wrong, or true or false. The " Facial Action Coding System" is supposed to tell the reader how you feel with percentages on happiness, sadness, madness and even fear and depression.
We dont really need this machine cause it can put out false information to see how you really feel. Say you are actually really happy and you arent sad at all but then you go to the machine and it tells you that you are 70% mad, 15% sad 10% fearful, and 5% happy. That is putting out false information on how you really feel because you feel happy.
When you look at someone you can usually tell how someone is feeling by there facial gestures. We don't need the "Facial Action Coding System" to tell us how someone is really feeling and most of the time if you ask how someone is feeling they will tell you they will be straight up with you. They will behappy that someone actually cares enough to know how they feel.
Personally i don't think we need the "Facial Action Coding System" because that is a waste of money and research. Why would we do research on something that we can go up to someone and ask them how they are feeling we dont need percentages or anything to wild we just need a simple answer like "i'm fine how about you?" or " I'm good how about yourself?" or " I'm fantastic, How are you feeling on this wonderful day?"
I think it is a waste of money to do research on something we can do in person when we ask someone how they are feelig today. You just have to ne polite and nice when you ask someone on how they are feeling. Just cause the " Facial Action Coding System" tells you the persentages on how you fell doesnt mean anything because for all we know it can be false and it can produce false information on how you are feeling so to end this off i don't think we need the " Facial Action Coding System". | 23 |
c9ba6e8 | Being a Seagoing Cowboy is good in may ways. It is an opportunity of a lifetime. I was able to exprince new things, play games, and help out families.
I was able to exprince things that I could never see. When we were on our way to China, they stopped to let us excavated caslte in Crete. Also, on our way they let us stop to ride in a Venice in Italy. I could have never image that. The people on the ship did something very special for us. They let me see Acropolis in Greece. Not only did I see new things, I got to go to Italy, Greece, Crete, and Chine. Four countries in two weeks.
When we made it to China we were able to relax. I was able to play Volleybal, fencing, baseball, and boxing. Before we left we had a Table Tennis tournament. When I was done play, I sat down and had a silent moment of reading. This things help the time pass bye.
Through all of this I was able to help out familes. I help out the familes by taking care of the animals. So that they don't have to worry about it. It makes me feel good that I am helpping people out.
In conclusion, I would no trade this job for nothing. Even though I broke one of my ribs. It is all worth it in the long run. I have made new friends. It is an opportunity that I wouldn't take for grandted. | 23 |
97c3868 | The article talks about the pros and cons of the driverless cars. The article gives people reasons to like and dislike the idea of driverless cars and I like the idea. I like the idea because its a way to help our economy grow more advanced and stronger. I also feel that in a way it will help with reducing our wreck percentage to. I'm not saying that their won't be flaws to the devices, but if we don't give them a chance we won't be able to figure them out and fix them so they won't happen again. I think we should imbrace these driverless cars and use them to our advantage instead of not giving them a chance and possibly missing out on something that can alture our future for the good it would really suck if we missed out on something big just because we didn't like the sound of it or how it worked. When we just change it to were we like it, and who knows maybe it becomes one of the best things that ever happens to man kind. | 12 |
1eccede | Throughout time, pollution has been known to be a huge environmental problem. The excessive amount of individual car owners driving down streets is in no way helping this issue. Efforts to diminish the number of cars we see on our roads have been taking place in order to help the environment and therefore citizens as well.
It is no news that passenger cars are harmful to the environment. They release gases that pollute the air we breathe affecting not only us but the environment as a whole. Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of green house gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some areas in the United States (Source 1). This realization has led to the promotion of "car-reduced" communites by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (Source 1). But the problem is more widespread than that. Paris has acknowledged the importance of this issue after witnessing smog that rivaled Beijing, China, known as one of the most polluted cities in the world (Source 2). Paris's solution was to enforce a driving ban in order to help clear its air. Due to this ban, congestion was down 60 percent shortly after the intensifying smog (Source 2). It is a known fact that transportation is America's second largest source of emissions, therefore, limiting passenger car usage can greatly benefit the environment as well as citizens' everyday lives.
Limiting car usage has not only proven to be helpful towards the environment but towards citizens as well. With a decrease in car usage comes new benefits not just to individual citizens but to communities. Less cars means less time in irritating traffic. Usually, car traffic and traffic jams leads to huge amounts of stress. This is because the idea of not getting to work is stressful; not getting to work means losing money. Losing money adds even more stress. But when limiting car usage, losing money is not an issue one has to think about. Carlos Arturo Plaza agrees by stating that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress..." (Source 3). Rush-hour restrictions and other efforts towards limiting car usage have cut traffic making it easier for citizens to get to their jobs (Source 4). Those who choose other forms of transportation that are less harmful to the environment have even less of a problem and appear to be much happier. Heldrun Walter states that when she had a car she was always tense but now she is much happier (Source 1). The evidence has proven that limiting car usage is benefical to not only the environment but to citizens' daily life as well.
Keeping a clean environment is something of major importance. If one does not take care of the environment there will seize to be a healthy environment in which to live in. Limiting car usage is a big step when it comes to keeping the environment free of pollution. Not only is it beneficial to the environment but it helps citizens live a much happier life lessening the causes of stress. Limiting car usage helps the air needed to breathe, the money coming into your pockets, and one's overall happiness. | 45 |

imiting car usage is a great and helpful action if we do it together. It also has many benefits,, it prevents car congestion, leaves the amount of pollution in the air,. Overall , limiting car usage is healthy for you . It allows you to walk and get to where u need to go. There are many other great reasons to why limitng car usage is good and important but these are just a few.
One reason why"limiting car usage" is a big deal is because it reduces car congestion and car congestion leads to pollution little by little. For example in Source 2 ,Duffer states that Paris has more polluted air than any other European capitals, it had "147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter"; meanwhile other cities had less than 120 . Car congestion also minimizes movement throughout the city.
Limiting car usage also slowly diminishes pollution in the air .Whenever the air that we breathe in is polluted , we are welcoming so many toxins into our body .Polluted air is very dangerous , especially for the little ones that breathe it in . It also can cause health problems. Air pollution also kills many of the living things on earth that we need to survive such as plants , etc.
Last but not least "limiting your car usage " is healthy for you , it allows you to walk and get where you need to go without relying on a vehicle. Also wlaking is good for you it helps you run better and work better. Also sometimes when using other means of transportation you get to where you need to go faster .
In conclusion there are many reasons why "limiting car usage is important . Its not only important for you but also for the environment and those around you. And who knows walking probably is better . | 23 |
0b568f9 | "Seagoing Cowboys"
Imagine always being out in the seas where theirs beautiful scenery. Imagine actually looking foward to helping animals and hear the noises of the wind blowing you across the Atlantic Ocean on a boat. Well thats what Luke Bomberger had to look forward to everyday. Its called being a '"Seagoing Cowboy". Here are some reasons why you should become a seagoing cowboy. First, Seagoing Cowboys take care of horses,cows, and mule that are shipped here. Second, caring for animal keeps you busy. Lastly, on free time cowboys play fun games like baseball.
Some people think that being a seagoing cowboy is boring but most people think its pretty cool. when you take care of horses, cows, and mule it actually teaches you some life lessons like what to exactly do with those exotic animals.
Caring for animals is time consuming it takes up a ton of your free time but its all worth every single bit of you're time to learn from it.
When cowboys play fun games its usually at times when the animals have been unloaded off the ship and when everything has been cleaned and ready for more animals.
From attending to every need of the animal and letting horses,cows,and mule fill your free time to. Later playing a game on the ship when you did all that work it really makes you hapy and ready for more challenges that life gives you. So sign up to become a "Seagoing Cowboy" today! | 23 |
ec2f115 | First I would explain
to them that that martian mesas are common around cydonia,I would probably research important facts to support my claim. I would explain that the "face" is really pilled up rocks that give off the illusion of a person features, eyes,mouth, nose, things like that. In the passage it says "What the picture actully shows is the martian eqivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the american west.A lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa is about the same height as the face, through all the years of research and the uncovering of rocks people started to realize that the face really wasnt there. Scientist took pictures during the years 1976, 1998, and 2001 to give show us what we thught was a face was really a natural landform. On april 5,1998, when mars global surveyor flew over cydonia for the first time, michael malin and his mars obiter camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the origianl photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waitig when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing a natural landform not a face or a alien monument after all. I feel like everyone should look at the facts and lab researchs to fully understand what they thought they sawbecause they were obviously mistaken. | 12 |
c423068 | Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers.
First studying Venus is very challenging because of the temperatures and the atmosphere. In paragraph 3 the author says " A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxided blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the cloud of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Veus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything hmans encounter on Earth;.." (Paragraph 3). This is important because is telling us how Venus conditions are far more extreme than anything humans can encounter.
Another important point that makes Venus hard to study is the weather. In paragraph 3 the author says "Beyong hig pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequesnt lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface" (Paragraph 3). This is important because Venus having earthquakes, volcanoes and frequent lightning strikes makes it very hard for someone to go there to study it.
Lastly studying Venus is challenging because researchers can't take any samples of Venus from a distance. In paragraph 6 the author says " Rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges." (Paragraph 6). This is important because not being able to take samples of rocks, gas or anything from Venus makes it very hard on scientists to find out forms of getting to Venus without having anyone in danger.
Finally, exploring Venus is challenging and dangerous. | 23 |
44eb982 | Twenty-five years ago, NASA found what looked like a human face on the planet of Mars. Early in the discovery, scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa. A few days later, NASA presented the image to the public. The picture definitely attracted attention to Mars, which is what NASA wanted. Soon after, the public was let down being told it was just a natural landform and that it wasn't an alien landform after all. However, some people would beg to differ.
There is always possibilities about aliens and what they do in space, but this is not one of them. The face is nothing but a natural landform. On April 8, 2001, Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look at the face. The text states that Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo with the camera's absolute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the image spans 1.56 meters. This proved that all this landform was was something similar to a butte or mesa which is common around the American West. Garvin states, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Overall, these two landforms are about the same.
Along with the picture of the face, if anything else was on Mars, we would've seen them with the high quality image. The text stated, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size." If any sign of martians was on Mars, we would've been able to see it. Objects such as airplanes on the ground, Egyptian-style pyramids, or even small shacks would have been able to be identified.
Although, martians could still possibly be out in our universe, this face on Mars will not prove that. Many would like to believe this is a martian mesa but it is nothing but a natural landform. Landforms like this can be found even in places on Earth. The mystery of martians still continues, but the mystery of the face on Mars has finally been a "case closed". | 23 |
759d361 | Almost everywhere where there is a human population, there is a major usage of cars. Cars and other vechiles are used one a day to day basis and are one of the reason most people have jobs. But what if cars could get better, cheaper, and usable for all including the disabled. This is the the future of cars; the driverless car.
In the modern world, people that are poor tend to stuggle to get a job. One of the reason this happens is because they don't have a way of getting to work on time. Sure buses and subways are the best public way of travel but they tend to take a while to arrive at your stop. not to mention the crowd of the people who also need to be on the transport. Whith driverless cars, there is a way people with small income can go to places with wait and owning a car. Google cofounder Sergey brin says that a public-transport taxi system could become reality and would use half the amount of fuel today's taxis use. Meaning the price for fair would also decrease and be easier for the wallet.
Driverless taxis will not only help the poor but also the disabled too. People who are bind or have other handicaps that would stop them from getting from place to place alone could now be able to move around freely in the driverless taxis. The cars could also have a customer service opition so if anyone needs help, they can have a person help them.
Since the cars would have a 3-D modle the surroundings, by using LIDAR, the passenger wouldn't have to worry about driving or being in danger. This would also improve the life of the police and other rescue agencies that need to speed through traffic by stopping all cars in the area or slowing them down. The whole city would be safer since most people would be using the driverless cars instead of regular ones.
In the future, the people will be safer, spend less money, and live better if driverless become reality. So far though, all attemps are not successful since a driver is still needed to do things the car can't, like navigating through work sites or accidents. But with given time and research, the idea of the driverless car will become a great improvement to the lives of many people. | 34 |
8c39899 | Have you ever wanted to go to cool towns,city, etc. and help people at the same time?

Helping them fix up there town . You will fix many towns by being an seagoing cowboy. By joining you will also learn about people of other countries and their needs.
In conclusion this paragraph was about why you should join the seagoing cowboys and how it would help so many people . What you would get out of being an seagoing cowboy. How being an seagoing cowboy is awesome. | 23 |
cadfa0a | The advancement of technology has helped humanity a lot in several ways, such as comuters,phones or even, planes to travel the world. These advancements could help students to learn in school. The facial recognition mentioned in this article is amazing for the following reasons: it could give students an easier time understanding material, it could introduce new ideas into peoples minds about career oppurtunities, and it could draw students focus into their work.
This facial recognition could help students understand their material better by molding the lesson if the student is confused or bored or possible even distracted. This would be immensely helpful for students who may have trouble comprehending certain subjects like math or English. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson,like an effective humn instructor."
By shaping the lesson around the student it makes it more possible for a student to pass a class and graduate from highschool or college. If the student seems confused the lesson can slow down and work through the problem with them. If the student seems happy then the lesson can speed up and throw harder work at them.
Technology such as facial recognition in an acedemic situation could take the slowing down of harder classes and us that to drive new ideas of new technology into peoples heads. These programs could take calculus and make it to appleal to students with a mind for working with computers. This would open job oppurtunities for millions of people in the United States alone. It could take biology and slow the lesson to then advance it into so many different branches of biology.
Students get distracted; it's a thing that happens. what if it wasn't as easy to be distracted. what if your lesson shaped itsel ito something you liked because you undersood it, because you could make sense of what the lesson was about, and pllied it to real world situations. A lot of the reasons students get distracted is because they dont understand their subject or it's too hard so they stop to take abreak and dont come back to it baecause they know that they'll be just as confused when they come back to it as they were when they left. If your lesson slows down to incorporate your confused look or your stares of boredom it could mke the lesson easier to help you understand it which will in turn capture your attention again. I know multiple people who would love to have tis tech, myself included.
This would be an amazing advancemement in the acedemic worl but it's very far off. When this becomes widespread it would boost the economy of its country by a lot. I believe this technology would be beneficial for the following reasons: it would help students undertsand their material, it could introduce new ideas into peoples minds about career oppurtunities, and it could draw students focus into their work. | 34 |
02a7cff | Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions and how easy is for humans identify emotions from another person face to face.
Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions because is a new system that is been using with anatomical information to make it easy to identify every single people just looking at some exactly angles on their face. In the text it states, "...studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code." The text also states, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang. So comouters need to understand that, too." The text finally states, "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for videogames or video surgery." Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotion because humans uses nonverbal communication every single moment like, if they saw something that they don't like or they don't prefer there face use to make some gestures that even the person don't even know that make that face that had express his/her emotions. The coding that this new computers have his so amazing because demostrates how technology had been make and evolution in so many people and not only people also around the world. But this kind of techology also is not the best because it put your identity in danger because the emotions that you make the computer stores all the emotional expressions and maybe with the time another people will have or find access to this archives.
Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions because the face is something that reveals how humans feel just looking at your ayes or your mouth, the face cannot hide nothing. In the text it states, "It's allabout those muscular action units. They even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one." The text also states." According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." The text finally states, " To an expert, faces dont't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human expressions because sometimes people likes to be alone when they feel sad, so they likes like to text with other people but the only thing they are looking at is the computer. The computer may been seen how the person is feeling because looks at some exactly angles on their faces to identify they real emotinal expressions of that moment when nobody is looking at them and may stores them so the computer have and example how the person faces looks like when is sad, happy or angry and also when the person is smiling and the smile is force because when a smile is forces always will look like very diferent because the muscles are making other movement, very different when the smile is spontaneousand real.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System can be able to identify human emotions because have the carateristics that make it unique to identify emotionals expressions and that will be not possible if the help of science will not be there to support this new technology and give some advices to make this possible and valuable for the scientists and the people that are using it to take advantage or for something really helpful witch may be the case for some people that hide their emotions, this technology can be a treatment for them that can show they are not the only ones and with that problem and it is normal but they have to be happy with this new technology that can help them. | 12 |
0509d92 | In addition to, the story people think that the Face was created by aliens. In this essay i will be talking about, Whether or not people have proof or evidence that the Face was created by aliens?, What would make people think that the Face was created by aliens?, and How do you think this if you just found out about the Face?.
With that being said, Do you think these people that thought the Face was created by aliens have proof or any type of evidence?... I don't think they had proof or any type of evidence because it was on Mars people csn not go around assuming that it was created by aliens if they have no proof. People would have to go to Mars and see for theirselves. Just because it was founded on Mars doesn't neccesarly means that it was created by aliens.
Next, What makes people think that the Face was created by aliens?. Is it because they knew that it came from Mars?... I strongly believe it is because all these people knew that it came from Mars, i'll tell you why i think this. I think this because it appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, and even haunted grocery stores as stated in paragraph 5. So, because it appeared in so many places people started to make assumtions, and really believed that the Face was created and made by aliens.
Futhermore, How does people think this if they just recently found out about the Face?. Well, people think this just because it it was the most popular story or myth going on at the time and since it came from Mars that it was created by aliens because they know people doesn't live on Mars.. But, that doesn't mean human beings do not visit to see what it is like in person.
In my opinion, last but not least, people should not make any assumtions before they don't know the full story or the truth behind it all and to ask people who was it created it by and stop always thinking they know everything and making a lot of assuming statements, to where it makes a huge rumor around the world. | 34 |
2305032 | From small town suburbs to largely populated cities, car usage can drastically affect a community. In developed worlds, personal automobiles are an increasingly popular trend, and help people go about their day to day business. Many would rather drive down the street to a grocery store of job instead of walking there even though it is common knowledge that the pollution and other harmful emissions cars create is bad for the enviroment and the people living there. The question remains, what are the advantages of limiting car usage?
Many believe that automobiles, especially the very popular "car", can be very bad for the enviroment. According to the article, "Paris bans driving due to smog", it explains how near-record pollution within Paris caused a partial driving ban. This was to help clean the smog infested air in the dense city. Although many delivery companies complained about lost revenue, congestion within the capitcal lowered by 60 percent. By Monday that week, "the smog cleared enough for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on tuesday". In another article called "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota", this one tells how Bogota, Columbia has also banned cars to promote alternate transportation and reduce smog. The ban is only for one day a year (called The Day Without Cars), but it's helped cause the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, new, smoot sidewalks, less traffic, and new restaurants and shopping areas. Business man, Carlos Plaza claims "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Both of these articles explain how limiting car usage in a city can be benificial to both the city and its residents.
In addition, the United States in partaking in this quest for less cars as well. Article "The End of Car Culture" by Elizabeth Rosenthal shows us that "recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." It is possible that this is partially because of the recession; many Americans could not afford cars. Also, more center cities have made the "suburbs less appealing and has drawn the empty nesters back in". If this goes on, scientists believe carbon emissions could greatly reduce and this will be extremely benifical for the enviroment. According to the Mr. Sivak's research, less and less people between the age of 16-39 have been getting licenses. More studies have concluded the same results, but only time will tell in this trend will continue. No matter the reason behind it, this example also demonstrates how limited car usage is benificial.
On the other hand, some believe that less cars is NOT benificial. In source four, it claims that the lowered amount of people driving automobiles will be harmful to the profits of the car industry. To further explain, "companies like Ford and Mercedes are already rebranding themselves 'mobility' companies with a broader product range beyond the personal vehicle". This, without a doubt, is to combat the loss of sales and encourage people to continue buying their products. However, thos is pretty much all there is on the negative side of limited car usage. For the rest of the community, this doesn't affect them and is in fact quite benificial.
Cars, both the rose and the thorns in a community and enviroment, can be both benificial and harmful to people, depending on who you are. For most regular pedeastrians and citizens within a city, less cars means less pollution, traffic, and stress. Unless you are a business owner of a car dealership or working for a delivery company, limited car usage means very postive things for social relationships, health, the enviroment, and general living conditions of a busy city. The less harmful emissions of gases from cars could greatly affect the outcome of our clean, energy efficient future. | 45 |
1e1d55f | Dear Florida Senator,
Would you like to vote, or do you feel obligated to vote? I personally want my vote to make a difference. I would want to keep the Electoral College because it expess others to vote and to have freedom of speech of knowing which candidate would be better to control our world of which we live in. If you are willing to vote, choose carefully and be percise with your answer. Don't let others get in your way, it's your choice and time, so express a political preference rather than deciding an election.
First of all, voting is all about the candidates, try to understand and know the candidates before voting. "Voters sometimes get confused about the elctors and vote for the wrong candidate." If you didn't know the candidates and voted the wrong candidate, then your vote may make a difference and you would have to wait patiently for four years intill your able to vote again for a different candidate.
Secondly, If you don't want to waste your time and thinking that your vote would not make a difference, then I'm sure others feel the same way. "A large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state does." Every state should get the equal amount of attention then any other state, and it should all be about the electors by sharing their own opinions.
Thirdly, Candidates should think about their electors and keeping this world safe and sercure for us rather than just wanting to be in the white house. "Candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the swing states." It's great that the candidates are appreciative by the electors and wanting our vote to count.
In conclusion, we cannot control electors who wants to vote for a candidate that others may dissagree on, but we can control our own vote.
It's your decision whether to vote or not and who do you approve for. Your vote can make a difference and every bit counts. So there is a reason to have the Electoral College. | 01 |
cdf420a | If you think the face in mars was created by aliens your wrong. Am about to tell you why your wrong. Am also going to convince you that the face is just a natural landform.
First of all the first picture was blury but we took new ones and they are better.''Michael malin and his mars orbiter camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the orinal viking photos''.The camera also can see anything if ther was life down ther. Michael malin also said ''as a rule of thumb you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size,''he added.''So if ther were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks,you could see what they were!"
In the passage it says that the face is nothing but a land scape form"what the picture actually shows is the martian equivalent of butte or mesa-landforms common around the american west. This also happens on earth sometimes. "It reminds me most of middle butte in the snake river plain of idaho"says Garvin.
So if you still think that the martian land form, as it should be called,was created by aliens, than think twice because thats all the information i need to prove you wrong. | 23 |
bc882fe | VENUS
venus is a planet and venus is brightest point of the night sky, sometimes they called venus "evening star" ,Venus is the closest palnet to the Earth by density,size and by distance:
Venus atmosphere is verry different between our atmosphere, venus have a thick atmosphore 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets the planet and a highly corrosive of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Venus atmosphere is 90 times greater than the Earth atmosphere ,a average of more than 800 degrees fahrenheit , we know that the closer planet to the sun is mercury,but venus is hottest planet in the solar system.
the challenge of exploring Venus is because venus have a dense atmostpher most forms of lights cannot penetrate to it, and research is hard to make on venus. the researchers cannot take anything with them samples rock,gas etc.. from a certain distance. the scientists seeking to coducts a thjorough mission to undertand venus have to get up close to and personal to dispite the risks.
The national Aeronautics and space Administration (NASA) is working to find some other way to studying venus. to see how they can go through venus. | 12 |
bac389a | I had no idea that becoming a seagoing cowboy would impact my life that much. There are many reasons that seagoing cowboys are amazing. I will be sharing 3 reasons why I think becoming a seagoing cowboy is an amazing opportunity. Maybe you will want to become one to.
One of the reasons I think becoming a seagoing cowboy is a amazing chance is because, there are so many amazing site to see. In paragraph 5 it says "'The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small town boy," he says. 'Besides help people I had the benefit of seeing Europe and China. BUt seeking Acropolis in Greece was specail' he says. 'So was taking a gondola ride in my Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water.' Luke also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China." This shows he really did enjoy seeing the sites.
Another reasons why I think you should become a seagoing cowboy is because you are helping people. In paragraph 2 it says "UNRRA hired 'Seagoing Cowboys' to take care of horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas." This program helped people that are depending on livestock get what they need over seas.
My last reason why I think you should become a "Seagoing Cowboy" is that we have a lot of fun on board. In paragraph 8 it says "Luke also found time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. The cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped to pass the time." It is very enjoy able to play with friends on the way back.
There are many reasons why being a "Seagoing Cowboy" is fun. There are many sites to see and they are all so beautiful, You are help people that depend on livestock, and it is very fun on board playing baseball and volleyball. I think being a "Seagoing Cowboy" is a opportunity that you should take if you get the chance ever in your life time. | 23 |
cfdf3f2 | Cars fading into the past!
Transportation is the one thing many have all depended on since they can remember. The major transportation system many use more than others is cars. What would happen if people failed to use these cars, and whent with a more alternative way to go from point A to point B. Some people from Germany, France, Colombia, and even here in america are transitioning to this "alternative trasportation" age.
Europe the land of open skys, great land, and smog. As seen in source 2: "paris bans driving due to smog" " On Monday motorists with even-numberd license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31)..." even though 4,000 drivers where fined that day, congestion was down around 60 percent in the general capital area of france. Smog " formed by vehicle emissions (mainly from Diesel Fuel) gets traped under a warmer layer of air due to cold nights and warm to hot days. paris itself generally has more smog than most european citys."Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter(PM) per cubic meter..." The smog was erradicated so much that the ruling french party decided to do the same for odd-numberd cars the next day. In Source3 : " car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" The "car-free day" idea spreaded to places like Bogota, Colombia and other bib places that even smaller cities joined in. " In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, of took buses to work during a car-free day..." even in the rain people still participated.
Source 4: "The end of car culture" says " That has left researchers pondering a fundamental question: Has america passed peak driving?" even though america is known for muscle cars, trucks , and even the Model T, most americans bettween the general ages of 16 years to 30 years first priority is not having a licence or a vehicle of their own. And this trend of getting a ride or walking is accelerating surprizingly quick."MIne (19 and 21) have not bothered to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where it could come in handy. " A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009..." even this act of alternative transportation in a country thats the most developed, rich, and drivable people still dont drive.
driving is becoming obsolite, literally, and people are sharing the idea that the world might be cleaner, people might be more happy and, the need and fix to drive somewhere is not preasent any more in todays modern society. so in the end cars are faded into the past , and happyness into the future. | 23 |
b858c9d | i think this should be a thing because it would help people work when on a computer. it would help people becasue it would make them more enjoyable for the person that is working. it would help because if th user is not satisified by the way a lession is performing the computer would know that an change the application to make it more interesting to the spicific user. also it would be diffrent for everybody and everyone has a diffrent way of learning certain things. doing this would make studfence preform better because th appilication that they are using conforms to them specifically. the only bad thing about this is that some people would say that it is invading peoples thoughts and that it should not be able to know everything down to emotions in a person. the othe rthing wrong with this is that we dont have the capeability to have that in the common computers that we have today , simply because they would have to be way bigger just to have the space to hold all the facial recognition codes for every emotion. those are the reasons i think that facial recognition in a school computer would be helpful. | 12 |
dedd8ba | The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by explaining the similarities between the Earth and how we can overcome our differences as well.
The author believes it is worthy of a shot because of the ways to avoid major problems, such as flying at a high altitude to evade the extreme pressure of the atmosphere and dangerous sulfuric acid clouds. The text states, "Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." This piece of evidence shows how clever the author is willing to get to investigate Venus and just how possible this may actually be. The text also states, "...not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equallty intimidating endeavors." This evidence goes to show that not he is not interested in exploring the planet to purely learn about the planet itself, but it is also human curiosity that pushes us as a race to adventure and discorver things that are of the unknown.
In conclusion the author strongly supports the idea of pursuiting the exploration of Venus despite the dangers it presents. Although as the author stated, it is better to think of these "dangers" as challenges, as we can overcome them and reach our goal. We have the potential and technology to get there, we just need to put our heads together and do it. | 23 |
b535764 | Venus, the planet right next to us, but the planet that can never be settled on. Throughout the article ''The Challenge of Exlporing Venus'' The author expresses the dangers and reasons why humans on earth have not been able to explore our neighboring planet. With that fact, the author still advocates for studying Venus and sites evidence for why this is needed. Overall, the author supports the study of the planet Venus because it's studies could inrich new knowledge about it to Earth. He supports this idea by stating Venus is similar to Earth, The study of Venis may allow fetaure pathways to increase it's study, and items learned form the experiment could lead to human settlement on the planet.
The author's claim of studying Venis could inrich new knowledge to Earth is supported through the two planets being so similar to each other. This is so because according to the author the two planets at one time shared similar charcterisics ''The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountins and craters.'' (The Challenge of Exploring Venus, Paragrpah 5) This evidence is relevent to the claim because the author proved that Venis and Earth are alike. Just like Venis, Earth has valleys, mountins and craters. The author's goal is to use this information to better know what this planet is, why it's important, gaining better human knowledge about the panet.
Futhermore the study of Venis is useful according to the author is because the planet could help NASA and other space comapnies in discovering the rest of outerspace. The author belives in if comapnies like NASA study space it would lead to better ways of getting more knowledge about the planet, '' Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribue meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.'' (The Challenge of Exploring Venus, Paragraph 6).
This is meaningful information because it supports inovation in space and what the author invesions of the future. The author's claim is support Venis can be a steepingstone into humans futher knowledge of space. This suports inriching new knowledge to Earth
Finally the author's call for the study of Venus could inrich knowledge to earth because there is a chance that humans could settle on the planet. This can be said because the explorations of Venus could be survivable for humans, ''Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans.'' (The Challenge of Exploring Venis, Paragraph 5) This information that the author gives is motivation for humans to discover the planet Venus because humans in the future could settle on the planet. This would support the claim because in the future if earth continues to have issues with climate change and globle warming there might be exploration to other planets. Having more knowledge about Venus could gives humans a chance in the distant future to inhabit a new planet.
Overall the author suppirts inhabbiting Venus because he or she belives that humans on earth can benufit from it. The author sites in the article that the Earth and Venis are similar planets, increases in techonolgy could go along with the exploration and the study could give humans in the distant future to inhabbit Venus. So the aiuthor looks upright. | 45 |
c8bf57b | The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," suggests that Venus is a pursuit worth while to the dangers the planet enviorment presents, and he is right. Venus is known as the Earth's "twin" Because of how simliar it is to our planet. The reason why Venus is called Earth's twin is because astronomers are mostly fascinated because as stated in paragraph four, "once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." The author continues on paragraph four on how
Venus was mostly "covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth." Which hints in where the author is going with this. In paragraph five the author goes on how NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration.) Has a "compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus." By sending a bimp-like vechicle hovering "30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape."
Letting scientists float above the fray and hostile conditions. But even a vechicle hovering above the atmosphere would not be enough because nothing can penetrate the brightness of the light making videography and photography "ineffective." Also scientists can't just take rock samples they would need to get up close. The author then goes on that rather see them as huge risks we should "think of them as challenges." While that the author continues on in paragraph seven that NASA has been working on numerous other approaches that affective for the studying of Venus. They've been testing electroinics made out "silicon carbide" Have been tested many times in a chamber simulating "The chaos of Venus' surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." Later NASA tested on more older technology dating way back. They are called "mechanical computers." and were used during the 1800s and during World War ll. The difference is that this old technology doesn't require eletronics at all. It is mostly geared up by levers and gears. The author goes on in pargraph seven on how modern computers need to be more "delicate" when it comes to very extreme weather. The author then goes on and compares how the modern technology wouldn't be able to uphold the phyiscal challenges compared to the mechanical parts which are more effective and more resitant to the heat,pressure, and numberous other forces. By the end, human curiositly would most likely beat the challenges Venus' atomsphere, and many others. Dangers shouldn't limit the imagination many scientists try to make a reality. | 12 |
666d674 | The use of this new technology to read the emotional expressions of students is valuable. If we can read the emotional expressiions of students in the classroom then we might be able to use that to determine if they are understanding the work that has been given to them.
Just like they did with the Mona Lisa we could do the same in the classrooms. They determined her emotions in the picture so we could determine the emotions of a student to see if they understand what they are working on. If they are confused or dont understand some5thing then the teacher could help them and get them to better understand the work given to them.
If the student does understand the work given to them then there is nothing to worry about. When the student undrstands the work that is given to them, then the teacher doesnt have to work with that student one on one to give extra help. If the student undrstands it very well then they might be able to help another student that doesnt understand it as much, then the teacher won't have to work with that certain student one on one.
With all that being said there is no reason that we shouldnt use this technology in classrooms. This technology cant harm us. This technology is going to help us in the classrooms. If we dont understand something and dont let the teacher know then how can he/she help us. If we use this technology and see that they dont understand something then we can work with them so that they can better understand the work. | 23 |
47697bd | Aliens couldn't have created this! If it is formed by some kind of rock that is placed on mars, how could a alien create this? This "Face on Mars" is a natural landform. Most of the pictures that were taken of this landform were compared to other landforms that are on Earth. The "Face on Mars" was compared to landforms such as, The Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Both landforms are about the same height.
In the photos, there is no signs of any alien artifact. There isn't any monuments, pyramids, or symbols found around this landform. Other than a shadow that looked like an Egyptian Pharoah, wasn't anything else found to suspect aliens made "The face on Mars." If there was an ancient civilization on Mars, it would help us figure out how this was made.
So... Until you can give a good explanation or opinion that aliens have made this, it is a natural landform. | 12 |
fd2bd08 | Many years ago there was said to be a face on mars. Research since have proved that the so called face was just a natural landform. There are such landforms like a mesa that the scientists think is what the face really is. People today still do not believe scientists that the so called face is just a landform. I think people should believe that its a natural landform, because scientists have improved their cameras, scientists know more on the topic then civilians do, and people assumed and over exaggerated too quickly.
Scientists have improved there pictures since the Viking 1 took the photo. They have better quality and have done some more research. The aricle says that there cameras have improved and been upgraded. The scientists say that there are several options that the mound could be. Two options are a mesa and a butte.
The people do not know as much as the scientists do. The scientists have done research and gone to school over this type of thing. They can identify it easily. In the article one said that the landfrom looks common to some in the American West. They compared it to the Snake River Plain of Idaho. This shows that the people have less knowledge in this area then scientists do.
People over exaggerated it when they first found out anyway. They weren't positive that it was what they thought it was. The aritcle stated that right away people made movies, stories, and articles about it. The picture shows on the Viking 1 that it was just shadows. The newer pictures were shown to not really show facial features. Yes people could see the figure of a face, but its outrageous to think that an alien formed such thing.
These facts show that it is highly unlikely to have an alien form such thing. There is more proof that it is a natural landform. But would you want people getting all excited and happy because they THOUGHT an alien existed. Its also just a way to get children to believe foolish things and maybe even give them nightmares. | 34 |
f3ac428 | Mistaken for a star, the planet, Venus is the second planet from our sun and nearly Earth's twin sister. Look more closely, it has proven to be a very challenging place to study closely. Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents, because It is Earth's twin, life used to be on it, and it is making scientist curious and wanting to get on Venus.
It is said that the planet, Venus, is Earth's twin. Venus is the closest planet to Earth by denisty and size, it is occasionally the closest in distance too. The close planets, Venus, Earth, and Mars orbit the sun at different speeds. Earth is sometimes closer to Mars and sometimes closer to Venus. The Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like eripting volcaneos, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes just like Earth has.
The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and creaters. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to stufy Venus. Their possible solution to the hostole conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Our jet airplanes would travel at a higher altitude to fly over many stroms. 30-plus miles above the surface, the tempertures would still be really hot at around 170 degrees, but the air pressure would be close to the sea level on Eath. Radiation would not exceed Earth levels and Solar power would be plentiful. These are not easy condititons for a human but survivable.
Humans have sent countless spacecrafts to land on Venus, which none of them survived the landing for more than a few hours. No humans were ever aboard. Venus's has a thick atomosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets and there are clouds od highly corrosive sulfuri acid in the atmostphere. Venus has the hottest furface tempture of any planet in our solar system.
Dispite the dangers Earth's twin brings, Venus is still worth Exploring and having a chance to be explored. This planet has a lot of challenges but NASA is already finding a way past them, making it to where humanity still has a chance. | 23 |
d204dcb | The article is write about the exploring of the Venus. Venus, here is a nick name call "Evening Star", it is the brightest point of light when you see on the surface. In the solar sysyem, Venus is the second planet from the sun, and it is the cosest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and lot of thing too, its referred like "twin" as Earth.
In space terms, there is no singal spaceship has touched down Venus in more than three decades, because of the each previous misson was unmanned and since no spacecraft survived the landing for a few time. there is one reason is because of the Venus atmosphere is thick and it almost 97 percent carbon dioxide, so that would be a challenging to the human.
Also, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in solar system with out Sun. Either the Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking on Venus surface. Solar power not would be plentiful. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans.
The challenge of meet to Venus has value, because of the human curiosity will likely lead human into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be danger and doubts. | 12 |
a889edc | I agree driverless cares should be used because it is useful and can be stress free. The driverless cars can reduce fast speed racers and crinimals that drive away. The driverless car can do many thing to help the environment.The car would stop crime, follow the speed limit and can reduce stress. The car can do many things but those were the main ones.
The driverless cars can stop crime becuase when you look at the news there are people driving away in high speed races and crashing evrywhere. If we had driverless cars this would'nt happen at all. The car would only go at a specific rate of speed and this way this can reduce car crashes. People tend to drive fats where they arn't suppose to and later on get killed in a car crash.This car there isn't a way you can get in a crash.
The car itself can follow the speed limit. Some people ignore the speed limit and it can cause major injuries. The driver would always want to speed up and not pay attention but the car it will react faster and go slower. In the text it says, "That only the driver can have control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars". Driverless cars can be tested but it would be difficult becuase you need to put all the road rules in the cars system. This can helop and cause some issues.
The driverless cars can reduce stress to the driver on the wheel. If an important call happens adn thier in the highway she cant answer it becuase she would get it into a crash. If she had the driverless caar the car can go on autopilot and drive itself so she can answer the phone. If the driver has somehting wrong with him while he's driving the car,the car will drive itself by just a pushing button. In the text it says," 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 fualt the driver or the manufacturer". People would think anything will go wrong but no one will now until we try it.
Driverless cars can really be benificial in people's lives. They can be trust worthy and reliable. It can stop fast speed cars, follow the law more often and reduce stress on the driver. The driverless car can be the next big thing if it works. Most likely it would work becuase of the technology we have today. People sometimes dont wanna drive and this can help with that. Let just for say the people int hecar were drunk.The car would drive them home no one would go to jail. | 34 |
e27de1f | The new technology which is called Facial Action Coding System should be banned because let's see if your sad or angry, you wouldnt want other people to know how you feel instead of just telling them by your own. It sometimes can be use for just certain things and if that person gives you permission to look at the Site, then yeah it can be used to determine how they are feeling. Some people may think this new technology may be an awesome technology but some other people may also think that is just as same as other technology. For example, "If you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." This means that this technology mostly works only when your smile like it said on the text. Yeah it may be awesome to other people but like i said it should be banned because there is no point on having that techology if that person tells you how they are felling. Clearly, this technology should be banned because it is not used correclty and every person who uses it is, it's using it too much and that's not how it works. | 12 |
bd968ac | Limiting the usage of car's would have many good outcomes. There would be less polution in our air, it would lower the usage of our fossil fuels and People would live heathier lives without all the smog in the air to cause illnesses.
If all areas of the united states banned or limited the vehile uses here it could greatly reduce the polution in our air. Which would in a long term result cause for better health conditions in people, but we'd sooner realize better health in young childern and the elderly. We would all have cleaner safer air to breath. But it would also help with the enviroment, the number of plants an animals harmed by polution would begin to decrease until the was just a fraction of the amount there is in this time now.
Also limiting the usage of cars will lower our use an burning of precious fossil fuels that once we use them up they are gone. Which this would also save us mass amounts of money that we we could use to keep this country out of debt. Limiting the use of cars will also stop us from having to get our fosssil fuel (oil) from other countries an having debts and money issues with all these other contries. We need to realixe that the usage of fossil fuels all these cars we have is draining our planet which is our home, what are we going to do when its a waste land after we suck all its nature fossil fuels an resources out of it.
Lastly the limiting of cars in the united astates would eventually cause for better health conditions in everyone but we'd sooner realize it in young childern an elderly adults. They wouldn't have such hard times breathing that they do have now causes by all of the polution in our air now. It would take some time but eventaully we'd have cleaner fresher air to breath and this would help decrease the amount of smog an decrease the amount of people with respatory health issues.
These are all things we need to be thinking about when we go into a discussion of limiting car usage these are not the only reasons there are many many more that can be used to help push the movement of limited car use. | 23 |
29fa6eb | Not driving cars sounds like a crazy idea; How will soccer moms get their kids to soccer practice; How will commuting executives get to their offices? Although driving a car is an easier way of getting around, the amount of pollution a car throws out into the atmosphere just isn't worth it. When people stop driving cars, they start to drastically reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that's being sent out through a car's tailpipes, reduces traffic congestion, and is satisfying a lot of people world wide.
Europe alone is responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, following the United States' 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, in some car-intensive areas. Paris, the capital of France that champions the use of diesel fuels typically has more smog than other European capitals, having 147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared to 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London. Although the bans on cars may receive complaints for delivery companies, there are exceptions such as; Plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more people.
As a result of Paris's partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city, almost 4,000 drivers were fined, and some even had their cars impounded. This partial ban led 60% decrease in traffic congestion. In Bogota, Colombia, millions of Colombians hiked,biked,skated, or took buses to work during a car-free day, leaving the streets of the capital city devoid of traffic jams. Rush-hour restrictions in Bogota have also dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have sprung up.
The reactions towards the idea of limiting car usage has been taken with great satisfaction and support. In the city of Bogota,Colombia, a city of 7 million people, millions of colombians participated in a car-free day by either skating,biking, or even hiking to work. Althought it rained, Mayor Antanas Mockus of Bogota explains, "The rain hasn't stopped people from participating". Mayor Antanas's quote just shows what people are willing to do, rather than taking the easier, and lazier way of simply taking their cars to work; In a sense, it shows dedication to the event. Even a high-society man like Carlos Arturo Plaza, a business man from Bogota describes this event as a, "Good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". This idea; the idea of limiting the usage of cars can be excersized by any class of society, be it poor, middle class, upper class, even rich, can participate, anyone can participate.
In the end, the advantages of limiting car usage includes, reducing the amount of greenhouse gases, reducing traffic congestion, and satisfaction. | 23 |
1c45114 | in this passage it gives many examples on why driverless cars are good and it also gives many reasons why it is not. Honestly im on the no go side. There are a few reasons why. there is that when there are no drivers that means you dont get to enjoy family time. Another reason is that what would happen if something glitched and went out of control and killed someone who would get blamed for that the manufacture or the owner. the third reason is kids my age wouldnt get to enjoy driving for the first time or getting their permit. Those are the reasons why I dont think driverless cars are a good idea.
What I mean when I say family time is that when my family and I go on a trip we try to have fun playing the license plate game where you try to find the alphabet by going in order from a to z on peoples license plates. I would think that there wouldnt be as much fun if there was someone driving. another thing is everyone would get tired of eachother if no one was driving because everyone would be looking at eachother playing games and after a while it gets boring. If there was a driver the people that are getting annoyed with eachother can switch with the driver and then problem solved until someone needs to switch again.
I think that it would not be smart to get driverless cars cause of malfunctions glitches and other problems with electronics. Imagine that you are in your awesome new driverless car and you put your desination in and it goes, so your just sitting there and a malfunction happens and you hit a family thats on a walk would you be the one to blame for it or the manufacture. That would be something that would be a lot of trouble for the person who hit the family if they were driving there would be no malfunction or glitch that would happen. I understand the reason people want driverless cars but what happens if stuff like that happens how would the people with that car feel. People buying the cars have to think of all the posibilities that could happen if something in the car goes wrong.
I'm not sure how other kids feel about driving and getting their permit but I know I love driving anytime I can I will because the fact that I am so close to be able to drive around on my own, not having to ask people to take me places it makes me feel independent. If driverless cars come into play then kids wont get to feel that rush and the feeling of being independent cause it's going to go back to you asking your car to take you places not people. I know that not all teens my age want to drive or even like driving but the teens my age who do will miss out on it and it will suck and how will they feel if something goes wrong with the car.
All of the reasons I mentioned are because its all true just think on all the things it would take away from our society today. Kids wouldnt have as good of personalities as they do. Malfunctions would happen people could die and it would take tolls on the people who owned the car. The other kids my age wouldnt get to feel the rush of driving on their own. These reasons would change the society for the worse I think its better to have cars run on electricity not gas but not to where it drives on its own. | 23 |
18560d1 | The face seen on Mars is just a landform and we have proof. Most people think that it is an alien built machine but they would be wrong. It is just a messa. Using the evolution of technology and cameras we have taken multiple pictures to prove what it is. Here I will explain what we did to take pictures of this mysterious thing.. We will also explain why people believed us to be wrong.
In 1976 the Viking 1 took pictures so we could find a good landing spot for the sister ship The Viking 2. That is when the pictures the ship took were sent back to us to examine. That is when we first saw the 2 mile long face for the first time. The suprise was short lived however as we soon relised what it was,a messa. People were sure it was more than that. They believed it to be a space craft.
In 1998 we sent a different ship,the Mars Global Surveyor, back there to locate the face and to take better pictures of the face. People were still not impressed with the finding of the MGS. There was fog in the picture as the area the face is in is always foggy. They said the fog was obsurring the photo. They also belived that aliens were using fog to hide it and some alien space crafts they belived was surrounding the face. They picture without the fog to beleive what we saw.
In 2001 we again sent the MGS to take pictures of the face. We went on a clear summer day when there was no fog presant and we had to tilt the camera 25 degress to get the picture right on. This picture had the face bigger than a thum compared to the pixel sized faces before it. It was exacly the picture they need to prove it was a messa.
As you can see in the photos it is a messa on a different plant. Comparring it to Earth it would be just like the Snake River Plain of Idaho. The eyes nose and mouth were just shadows being casted onto it which is why the other pictures have the feature while the new one does not . After 25 years of people talking and theorizing about it on the new and on the radio we can finally put an end to this mystery. | 23 |
cb35509 | Have you ever sat back in thought to yourself how would the world be with or without Driverless cars? well if you have been thinking about the driveless cars that is a good thing because driverless cars will be amazing we should have driveless cars we need to start to investing into driveless cars it will be great. These cars will change the world. Driveless cars will help make the world a better place. I say this because it can really help people out. When you have a long day at work late night on your way home you are tired you are ready to go to sleep you have eat you are just done if you had a Driveless car it can help you solve that problem because it will do all the work for you and you wouldnt have to really worry about driving are falling alseep on the road a driveless car will take care of that
If we have driveless cars we can really help out mom who was a new born in the car while they are driving . when the mom is driving she has to be focus on the road she cant turn to the back in see whats going on with the baby because she is driving but if she had a driveless car she can turn back in make sure the baby isnt crying and he/she is fine because the driveless car will take care of the road and she can do what ever she needs to do to make sure the babys doing fine on the car ride
Also if we had a driveless road trips wouldnt be so borning and so long because drveless car will do all the work that a human will have to do on a road trip you can take you mind off the road and let the car do most of the work well thats what driveless cars are made to help make driving more easy and fun for the people who are on the road alot take your mind off the road for a few and relax while you are driving
Driveless cars will make the road more safer i only say this because some people text and drive that isnt safe at all but if you have driveless car you can text and drive because the driveless car is driving you can send those messege or emails without putting anyones on the road life on the line also driveless cars is great to have when you are running late for a big meeting and you didnt have time to get all the way dress you havent put your shirt on yet you can put your shirt on in the car you dont have to worry about a thing everyone in the world should get a driveless car it will help you out with drving and alot more you can relax whilr driving talk on the phonw when driving put a shirt on drving how cool is that get a driveless car you everyone is getting on dont miss out on the greatness | 12 |
d0dfc29 | This article main idea is about the advantages of limiting the car usage. This doesn't just benefict the enviorment but it also beneficts us in health and many other way like economy. The way that we can limit the car use to do a day-free car use world wide,like there already doing in Colombia,Europe and Paraguay, it wouldnt be everyday but once a month would still help out in so much.
The advantages of limiting car use help in so many reason. This experiment have been done in the outside of freigburg, near the French and Swiss borders in the new districts, what they do is, forbid street parking, driveways, and home garage . A 57 percenct of families that move to this expiremtal district, have said "when i had a car i was always tense. i am much happier this way. This proves not this expirement is not a lost cause , it can be solve many things: save every penny you would have to spend in gas, help the ecosystem, and the robbery of cars one less worry. In Colombia they be spending there car-free day hiking, or in there bikes. It has been the thrid year straight cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for does who dont follow the rule the $25 fine. This movement hasnt stop , what has done is giving peolpe conciusness and now not only Europe (PARIS) and Colombia , now the next country to follow this step is Paraguay. This all beging in the mid-1990 in Colombia (bogota), with this came the constrution of 118 miles of bycicle paths, more than the any other Latin american city. In the United States car lover has decrease sense 2005 according to a study made . It has been major causes that made the car buying decrease like for example not all of the peple involve in a car-crash / accident can afford a new or even use car , others just perferd moving somewhere they have it all close from there job, and home , most people just see as a way of working out and maintaing there physical health .
The limiting of cars can sure help out the ecosytem but not every one lives in a city, state , country that everything is close by . One major reason out of many others is that you may live somewhere that you'll have cross, by suburn neigthbordhood that can be implicated with drugss or even arms dealers. With this idea of limiting cars most peolpe are not even going to care to get there license.
This can many more car accident it wouldnt be a resposable thing to do. sense you have a daugther , son or memmber of you family does , think about the possability of one of them in this type of situation. Every year everywhere in the world they create thousands of cars imagine if we just decided stop using them how many would be dissaemploy , not just that all the materials that they will be losing, all the time they lost , and most important the money they spend in materials, and payckecks to every singul one of the industrial employes.
A car is a space that keeps you safe from the outside when you're in the road , just imagine you're self on your way ready to go to work and in the way it starts raining, you have find a place where to wait until it stops raining mean while , you're paycheck is decrease due to the cause that you're not in you're work , sure you can explain it to your boss but is he/her going to lett you off that easy. The weather is just one of does things that you can't controll or predict , so by take the risk . With out a car you're saving you money but with a car you're protecting you'rself , familiy and others. The car is one of the eays ways to transport not just you're self groceries,shopping items and many others things . If the plan is to help the ecosystem lett me tell you that electric cars exist , the technology is evolving is creating new ways to live better safer life .
With the evidence just given to you . We can say that the experiment that everyday is evolving , expanding. The limintinf of car is one excellent way to contribute with the ecosystem and all that have given us. All the evidence is there the reason and cause , when you analys it no can agree with this essay that the idea liminting car is a great idea that can solve many things to many peolpe it does'nt mean that it has to be a measure to everyone but does that are on board shoul considate more and spread it out into the people . | 23 |
1763449 | "Unmasking the AFace on Mar's"
Many people beleive there is other life forms on Mars. Recently NASA Found an odd landform on Mars in the region Cydonia. The landform looks exactly like a human's face. People claim that this Face looks like a great Egyption Pharoh, and that the Face was created by other life forms or "aliens." But, Cydonia is a region known for its various mesa's and landforms. Still the Face caught many veiwers attention.
Since, Cydonia has various landforms it led NASA to beleive that the Face was just some other natural landform. Garvin says in paragraph 12,"What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West." "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." This peice of evidence proves that the landform could very easilly be natural. For Earth has hundreds of natural landforms.
So, when the Face hit Hollywood people went wild and decided that it must be aliens. Conspiracy theorists claim,"Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars--evidence that NASA would rather hide." This claim makes people even more skeptical of how the Face was actually formed. The Face began to show up in magazines and movies. People sharing how they beleive the Face actually formed. Even though many people wanted to beleive there was life on Mars(including NASA) they had to stick to the evidence.
On April 8, 2001 the Mars Global Surveyor was nearing the Face. It was a cloudless day and Garvin and his team were hard at work adjusting the Spacecraft so it would center the Face in the camera for a clear photo. When it came time,"Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution." The clear photo helped prove that the Face was actually just a natural landform. That was caused by an isolated mesa.
Although, many people want to beleive that alien's created this odd landform called the Face. A lot of evidence proves other wise. Cydonia is a place known for mesa's and Earth has hundreds of odd landforms that seem to be Alien. Think that one day you could visit the Face of Mars istead of The Man in the Moon! | 23 |
5ba51c8 | I never thought that I would end up being a Seagoing Cowboy, but I am and I'm glad. In this writing I'm gonna tell you why you should try to be a Seagoing Cowboy.
The first reason why I think you should join is because you get to help people. Going to those different countries made it so much more clear of their needs. Their country was left in ruins. They need everything that we do or more.
The second reason why you should join the program is because you get to take care of animals. When I got asigned to that job it kind of reminded me of my aunt Katie's farm. I would go over there when I was a boy and help out.
The last reason I think you should join the program is because you get to travel! Yeah there are some dangers like when the captain slide down a slippery ladder and cracked his ribs but the sights make up for it. I remeber when I got to see Europe and China, so pretty. I also saw the Acropolis in Greece and that topped it all.
That's why I think whoever is reading this should join the program and become a Seagoing Cowboy. You get to help people, see the world, and take care of loving animals. Just think maybe you'll see me there. | 23 |
572e210 | The Facial Action Coding System is a system that enables computers to identify the human emotions. I think this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because in the article it says "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles" Which means they can tell what your emotionals is by the movement of the muscles or by the look on your face. Eckman has classified six basic emotions which are happy, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with your characteristic movement of the facial muscle. If you're mad your orbicularis oris tightens your lips to show anger, your muscles on your face shows the computer what you're feeling. Dr.Huand new system can even identify mixed emotions because each expression is compared against a neutral face. That's why I think Facial Action Coding System is valuble becuase the computer constructs on a 3-D computer model of the face and it can tell mixed emotions and it has six basic emotions, If it can tell a dead person mood it can tell an alive person mood. | 12 |
db21ca7 | Don't some things sound too good to be true? Well, this is one of many. NASA scientists have found a "face" on Mars. This has been solved to be just a landform, but some people still believe that the "face", was created by aliens. Here are some facts to prove that this is a natural landform.
First of, in 1976, pictures were not the best back then. We were still working on them to make the outcome look better. With the digital images being 3 times bigger than the pixals, you are bound to find something that is not what it seems to be. Also, the "face" is located 41 degrees north martian laditude. This is a more foggy area of the planet. This could explain why the picture looks like a "face". Also, there were other objects around the "face" that casted shadows on the landform, making it look like it has eyes, a nose, and a mouth. This landform is very similer to landforms in the West of the U.S. This would be called a mesa. Finally, the scans of the "face" can only go so far. Plus, the camera doesn't go over the face often either.
Even since cameras have been upgraded for a better picture, NASA can prove that this is not an alien made "face", but a natural landform on Mars. | 23 |
c5345d9 | Do you think that the FACE was created by aliens ? Well i think the face is just a land form but thats how i feel about it , I don't believe that aliens are real . On the other hand you might think they are real and i don't blame you because when i was little i thought they was real to ... by all of the movies i was watching about aliens taking over ect .
Although , few scientists believed the face was an alien artifact photographing . So they photographed the face as soon as they could get a good shot at it . On April 8, 2001 a cloudless summer day in cydonia Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look . When they had did they a pixel in the 2001 image spams 1.56 meters , they image was not a face anymore it was really Martain equivalent of a butte or masa . It reminds me of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," says Garvin. "
Finally, now you see that there were no aliens on mars and they aliens are not real . It was just the Martian equivalent of butte or mesa landforms . so now with all this information i just gave you, you should believe me now . | 12 |
374b731 | Driverless cars have many postiive and negative effects and ideas that they could have on our world.
The driverless car that Google cofounder Sergey Brin invisions "would use half the fuel of today's taxis." (P1)
This would allow for the United States to purchase less fuel and in the end prevent us from spending so much money.
These kind of cars would be a great help to anyone making a long distance trip.
You could begin your trip one day and fall asleep and have driven several hours.
The idea has been tested by many different companies and is still being developed to this day.
Driverless cars would be a great benefit to the people of America, it would allow for people to save money on gas, and not have to worry about crashing because the car would drive itself.
With all of the sensors and other driverless cars, it would seem that the manufacturers could prevent accidents.
I believe that driverless cars could be a great benefit to this country, but they cannot replace all cars with them.
We still need fire trucks and police vehicles to keep people safe, but they would have a great impact on our nation.
One way that some companies are making driverless cars is by using "smarter roads." (P3)
General Motors for expample designed a concept car that could run on a special test track.
This track would send radio signals to the front end of the car.
Another way that some companies are trying to make driverless cars are by using sensors.
Google modified a Toyota Prius with "position-estimating sensors, a rotating sensor, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor." (P4)
Google used all of these sensors in different ways to begin to develop their own version of the driverless car.
The driverless car has been attempted by many different companies and each one has their own version with their own flaws.
Driverless cars seem to be a thing of the future, but in reality it could be here before we know it.
With all the different technology and all the money some of these big companies have it is a wonder the driverless car is not invented already.
The different companies have designed driverless cars now that still require the assistance of a driver.
The cars can brake, accelerate, and stop by themselves.
"All are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." (P7)
This allows for some people to argue that driverless cars are not reliable, and it is not that at all.
Driverless cars have no way of knowing what to do in a situation like that.
The smart thing is to have the driver take over in that spot and would prevent a potential accident.
The problem with this is that the car needs some way of notifying the driver if he falls asleep.
Some designers have thought to use a vibration in the seat to alert the driver.
The Google car for example has a voice that announces when the driver needs to take over.
"Other options under consideration are flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays." (P7)
One big argument when it comes to driverless cars is the potential for an accident.
The worry is that if the technology in the car quits working and the car crashes, who do you blame?
To me it seems like the manufacturer should be blames since they designed the car with the technology that failed.
The driver had no control over the technology, he just had to wait until the car needed his assistance.
This argument is one of many when it comes to driverless cars and it is an important one.
If the car crashes somedbody has to get blamed and if the driver is not actually driving why would he get blamed.
This could be one debate that pushes back the release of the driverless car until someone comes up with a compromise.
In conclusion, I believe that driverless cars would be a great benefit to our country as a whole.
I assume and hope that a company will release a driverless car in the next few years to allow me to experience such a thing.
It would be like a roller coaster.
You do not know how you are going to get where you are going and do not know how bumpy the ride will be but it will be an adventure.
That is what intrigues me the most about driverless cars, the adventure that is coming.
"Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time.
Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020." (P10)
This just makes me even more excited for the release of driverless cars, it could happen in the next 4 years.
A driverless car would be a great invention and would allow the United States to make money if they were able to produce it and sell it.
Driverless cars are coming to us soon and they are going to excite many people because of the technology put into it, and also the seemingly magic wayt hat it drives you.
"The road to the truly autonomous car stretches on ahead of us, but we grow closer to the destination every day." (P10) | 23 |
7aaa76f | Some think that the Face on Mars was made my aliens. Some think that its a natural landform. Some even think that the similar earth landforms were formed by aliens.
I believe that the Face is a natural landform. The large landform on Mars is very similar and naturally made like landforms on earth and even more specifically the American West. A very good example of this is the Middle Butte in the Snack River Plain of Idaho.
The landforms such as the Middle Butte in the Snack River Plain of Idaho are made from a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. Knowing how the formation in Idaho is formed increases the evidence showing how easy it would be for Mars to have a similar landform. it is very well a natural landform, just on a different planet. Mars is such a similar planet to earth that the lantural landforms could be, and in this case are, very similar.
No matter what you believe, rather it is a natural formation or made by an ancient life form or aliens, all the evidence and proof points to, and proves, that the Face on Mars is in fact, just a natural landform that is most likely an equivalent of a bette or mesa. | 12 |
84ce1a3 | Dear Senator,
The topic of the Electoral college is a hot one, and the idea of whether of not to adjust it is contravercial. Many citizen disagree with the process while many are in favor. What should we do? We should change the Electoral College. The voting is based more on quantity instead of quality, and the voting is not coming from the citizen's directly, making the risk of an unfaithful candidate too high and the actual voting less popular and more electoral. When one state-or even one person- could change the whole ball game that is the Presidential Election, then what does that mean for our democracy?
While many will argue that it is a fair way to vote, the Electoral College has many flaws. First off, the candidates are focusing on more power and higher tallying states to get them through the election than everyone as a whole. For example, if you were a presidential candidate would you spend more time trying to sway California, with its whopping 55 electoral votes, or Montanna, with a teeny tiny 3 electoral votes? The candidates are not being considerate of ALL the American citizens, but instead the ones that they think will lead them to victory. This is not what the election is all about. The election is more focused on the popular vote of few states with many inhabitants than it is on many states with few citizens.
"Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." (As stated in
"The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong"
). Being that this true, why do we call it the "Presidential Election" instead of the "Electors Election?" Electors claim to be faithful to their candidates but sometimes this is not the case. If a member of the group is unfaithful to their candidate, it could unsettle the whole election, meaning that the United States as a whole would have to pay for the electors actions. This is not how voting was meant to be. Our slogan is "We the People," not "We the Electors."
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Why would we change this system? It is already established and has worked for many years." In order to move forward as a nation we as a whole need to make changes sometimes. Just think what it would be like today if segregation-an established rule and law- was not questioned. Or even if the settlers of the United States had not questioned our former mother country and broke away. We would not even be the establishment we are today if we did not question established rules or traditions. The Electoral College is nothing more than a system that needs to be reevaluated, putting the popularity if the candidate in clearer perspective.
To recap, The Electoral College does not include the popularity of the candidates over official influences. The states are not being counted equally and electors control the electon overall. In order to have a more successful government and a more included population, the Electoral College simply needs to be reevaluated and changed to meet the popularity standards of our country if we are to ever advance. | 45 |
df1b408 | Most citizens do not realize that even though it may be easier and does not require a large amount of energy to operate, cars pollute the air that we breathe and it becomes tainted. Citizens may have their own personal reasons why they ride bicycles, walk or take the bus. If everyone takes part in not driving a car, the society would dramatically improve. For one the amount of tracffic would decrease. The text states "congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France after five days of intensifying smog...". In other words this is saying that the fog was so intense that people driving were not able to operate their vehicles. Since no one was driving or on the road, traffic went down 60 percent due to the amount of smog. In addition to the amount of traffic being lowered, certain car lots would have an significant increase in business. Article two states "exceptions were made for plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers". In other words car dealer ships their profits and their makings would sky rocket due to the increase of people purchasing this particular type of vehicles in an attempt to make the Earth greener.
Adding on to the fact that not only will car dealer ships that sell these types and models of cars profit increase drastically, the citizens will either have electric vehicles or they will have the type of vehicles that can occupy more than three passengers per trip or outing. So then the amount of exhaust coming from cars and going into the air will be reduced. Electric cars do not produce exhaust and if more people drove cars that can seat more than three people, then exhaust will still be going into the air but the amount would be less than it usually is. Not only will reducing car usuage prevent air pollution, it brings people together and helps them relax. Article three states "it's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." In other words this is saying that banning cars allowed the citizens to just relieve stress. | 23 |
cf6c1cf | Venus is a interesting planet cause of its Evening star which it a bright light and is a second planet of the sun when you look at Venus the density , size and distance gets the attention till where you want to discover the parts and ideas of it. the diferences about a spacecraft is that people wanted spacecraft to land on earth but it didn't work due to no survival that couldn't land more than a few hours thats why this planet is challenging for humans to study the reputations want people to be confused and get the meaning of this. Atmosphere is thick 97 percent carbon dioxide so temperatures goes up 800 degrees F and on earth the atomsphere is 90 times greater.
Sister Planet and Venus are the same thing its the better planet in the solar system which used to be covered in oceans and could supported peoples life just like the Earth. its rocky sediment and has features which are valleys, mountains, and craters.
NASA is working on venus the samples of rock, gas etc. are not working to take the samples its rough so a scienctist knows thay venus needs to be close to do their own vperonsal depsite risk for it to last. NASA working to get other people to study this and have advice. | 01 |
44512d0 | You may belive that it was aliens that created this "face" on mars, Where is your proof to support that eveidence? The face could just be a natural landform like many other things like we have found out about. Whats your proof that its aliens, Becasue when we have circled the rest of the planet we have not found civilizations or colonies of alien life. For instensts a metior could have just hit the planet in that spot leaving a mark that looked like a human face leaving you to belive this. There could be aliens out there but there is no proof that we have them in our universe yet, There are many diffrent reasons why there could be natrual causes as to why it would look like there is a face on the planet.
Mars has clouds around its planet and other planets do that may be where aliens hide and have there villiages. You beliveing in them could be correct but also wrong at the same time. We just dont know what could have caused that face on mars aliens, natural formation, crator. You maybe belive this because even the scientist have gotten the false imput that they were real and that this was a aien artifact. We jsut have no evidence proveing wether or not this is an alien artifact or its just a natual landform. | 12 |
f628167 | Computers have come a long way in the past few decades. Coming from computers that filled up an entire roomonly having so much as 2 gigabytes (GB) or smaller for memoryto having a computer that is smaller than your torso and can contain as much as 128 GB (or more) of memory. However, we have only started scratching the surface on the technology of facial recognition. Believe it or not, there is now software that canfor the most partread your emotions!
The software is the latest creation made by Prof. Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois, who works in collaboration with Prof. Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. (1) Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologist Dr. Paul Eckman who is "the creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System)" (3).
How the computer works is that it creates a 3-D computer model of the face that incorporates all 44 major muscles of the human face into the model. Eckman has classfied these six basic emotions into the software: happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. (3) Each emotion is associated with characteristic action units to differentiate between emotions. (3) Video imagery (4) is used to capture these action units. For example the text says: "frontalis pars lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises your eyebrows when youre surprised;..." (3). The computer captures all of that.
This advancement of technology is truly fascinating, however it can be harshly criticised by the public if it comes out to classrooms now. It's new and can only capture so much; they only considered using emotional features from six basic and distinct emotions that Eckman ensued into this innovation. (3)
It can also be compatible with one computer, so it wouldn't be practical or create a state of financial stability if a school had to buy one for each student. Even if it were software it could probably slow down a less-compatible device and could hinder the work process in a school for a machine whose sole purpose is to capture how a student scorns during a math lesson.
If the tech were to be efficient in speed and usage in a classroom or any other setting, then it should be a necessity in school. However, with programs such as Google, the computer just would not be necessary. In the text it says: "Imagine a computer that knows when youre happy or sad. For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." (6) Google does that by taking information you search publicly in your own Google accounts.
As for identifying how students feel during class, as said in the text in paragraph six: " 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr Huang predicts." (6) Teachers are able to get a public opinion by using a program by Google Classroom to send a poll out to their students, or just by being amicable and approachable enough to let students ask questions about confusing material.
If the previous information can be proved wrong, then it would be good to have in a classroom. But how can a computer capture someone's emotions if they have their hand over their face or their head down? They simply can't help that type of situation. Also, humans are very complex creatures. People can act like they seem happy outwardly, even if they aren't. Some people can be born with facial deformities. Deformities in people's faces can be very unitelligable to the eyes of society, in some cases, or just stoic due to a chronic disease that causes muscle tissue to be stiff. The program would not be able to read people's emotions if they can't express it like most people can due to their conditions. Again, the program was designed for an average human face and only 6 emotions as a base. (3)
As a civilization, we are moving forward. It would not be a surprise if in a decade or two, every classroom has an emotion-reading computer that works efficiently for everyone. However, as of now, we are only merely scraping what is FACS tech and how to modify it into our everyday lives. Releasing this innovation to the public mow wouldn't be practical due to how new it is. But it would be cool to have something that works that way with little error. | 34 |
6bc585a | A boy named luke that graduated for high school and had worked two part time jobs in a grocery store . His friend had ask him if he wanted to go to Europe on a cattle boat ,luke said yes he said he couldnt have said no beacuse he doesnt like saying no to people. And he also said that it was a oportunity of a lifetime. It was 1945, world war ll was over in Europe, and many countries were left in runis . And too hope that those familys recover on food and animals. Then there were sign ups for a UNRRA Seagoing Cowboy and so Luke and Don sign up for it .In August 14,1945 ,'' Luke said , the day the Pacific war ended.'' they got their seaman's paper and boarded the SS Charles W. Wooster , headed for Greece- with a cargo of 335 ho rsees plus enough hay and oats feed them . L uke turned 18 before arriving in Greeece , which meant he he could be draft ed gfor military service.
When my draft board learned that i was on a cattle- boat trip , they h ad told me to just keep doing t hat for my service . 'by the time he was discharged in 1947 , Luke had mde trips - the mast of any saegoing cowboy. The cattle boat trip were an unbelivable oppportunity fo ra smalll towm boy,; he said , besides helping people , I had the side benefit of seein of seeeing Eurpe and China.
Then time past and Luke found time to hhave fun on board , especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded . The cowboys played baseball and they aslo had played volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournament, facing , boxing, reading , whittling , and games als help pass the time . But being a Seagoing Cowboys was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger. it opened up the world to Luke e. '' i'm grateful for the opportunity'', he says . its made me more aware of people of other counties and their needs.'' And that aareness stays with him leading his familly to host a number of international students and exchange wisitersfor many years. | 01 |
c1b8377 | In the passage, "Driverless Cars Are Coming", they talk about the existence of cars that drive on their own. They also include their functions and how they work. The debate that this situation causes is whether or not should these driverless cars should continue to be developed. Driverless cars should not continue to be developed because they can be expensive to make and repair, and new laws will need to be created for safety matters.
Driverless cars can come with a high cost. Not only will it be a big price to pay to make these cars, imagine the cost of getting it repaired if it gets broken. "Google's modified....uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever.." These cars include a lot of technology and different sensors, the repair of a sensor can cost someone a lot of money. Also, not only will people be needing a smart car, but the country will also need to be prepared with smart roads. The smart roads will help the electric cars by sending radio signals to it. "These smart-road systems worked.....but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." The roads can be another cost, this time not only for the people, but for the country. Upgrading the roads just for these cars will just be too much. The driverless cars will do nothing but bring us mroe into debt.
Electric cars can be a safety issue to the community and the drivers themselves. Different states already have all their driving rules set out to keep everyone safe. With these new driverless cars new laws will be needed. "if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault?" That will be another responsibility that is in the hands of someone. We will need laws for who's to be held responsible, for what actions need to be taken when something goes wrong, and others to keep pedestrians from getting hurt as well. Although the electric cars alert drivers when to take control, you never know when it could fail to inform you and it could be too late. Some states don't even allow the testing of self driven cars.
In conclusion, driverless cars should be discontinued. Their developement and repair can be costy to people. They aren't proven to be 100% safe to either the drivers or pedestrians nearby. You never know when a sensor can be damaged and you will have to take action right away. Also, there will need to be new laws created to continue to protect the drivers and others who could get hurt. We should stick to our original vehicles. | 34 |
45fcc6d | Have you ever wondered if driverless cars would actually work? Or if you would be safe in them? I believe that driverless cars would work and would be safe to an extent. I also believe that the taxis are going to go up a little to build more of these cars.
In the text it says that Google cars had worked in specfic conditions since 2009, but they also won't work in certain conditions such as construction zones,etc. The cars will have the driver take over while in construction zones or by accidents. The cars, majority of the time, are driverless which would make the driver lazy and not have to worry as much as he/she would if they were manually driving the car.
The article says that their cars have driven over than half a million miles without a crash, but what if they do? What if they dont alert the driver in time to take over and they crash? No one can be certain that they won't crash eventually. Another thing that the article said was that the Google car would use half the fuel of today's taxis, which is good, but what about the cars that aren't driverless? And aren't the taxis going to go up if we decide to make more driverless cars for everyone?
So do we know if they'll work properly or if they are safe enough yet? No we don't really know. No matter what we build or do the taxes are going to go up, and I still believe that we don't know if they're completely safe or not. I do see our society increasing towards more and more technology each day, and it would'nt surprise me if we do have driverless cars someday. Right now would not be a good time or even a few years from now wouldn't be a good time. So I guess the question is, What do you think about having a driverless car in the future? | 23 |
3cbc0e6 | "Unmasking the Face on Mars" some scientist says it was created by aliens. I think that it wasn't created by aliens because no one has proof that aliens are real. Also because they haven't checked the other planets to see if there was faces on them. If the face on Mars was created by aliens, did they go on Mars to check for alien footprints? Did they go onto Mars and looked closley at the face? If it was an artifact made by aliens what did they make the face out of.
The scientist sya the face looks like an Egptian but in 2001 it doesn't look like an Egptian anymore.
The scientist used a machine that can see if there were any objects, like airplanes in the picture you would see it cause of the machine. The face on Mars could just be an uncommon landform. Its probably not an artifact made by aliens because the face wasn't showing that much in 1976. In 1998 the face was getting clear but in 2001 the face was disappearing beacause of the cracks on the face. If it was made by aliens why wasn't the face clear enough if it was an artifact sign for the aliens. if there were aliens on Mars why wanst there any bones of aliens found. So maybe the Face of Mars could just be a landform. | 12 |
ec9ef19 | All over the world people have different ways to limiting car usage. They have a lot of pollution so why not do it? Many do car-free day where no cars are used. Others do a bike program. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."
There are some ways where people shouldn't use their car. If not you'll get a fine of $31 if you have even numbers on your license plate one day and the next day odd numbers. Private cars owned by middle class are choking cities. Heidrun Walter, mother of two and a media trainer was always tense when she had a car.
Vauban is making a new approach. Stores are being placed a walk away. In New York thay have a new bike-sharing program. Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work, leaving the streets devoid of traffic jam. Even Mr. Sivak's son which lives in San Francisco has a car but takes Bay Area Rapid Transit, when he can. Knowing it takes him longer than driving.
It's a whole lot of new experiences and people can stay active. "Pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety." | 12 |
9d44f80 | Driverless cars is a really bad idea. There are so many outcomes that could happen when the car is drving itself. It could malfunction and crash. The driver might not be paying attention and when they do have to take over, they don't and crash. And lastly there would be many people losing lots of money from sueings because people wouldnt know who was at fault, the driver or the manufacturer.
There are some positives to the driverless cars. For example people who just "have" to text can finally do that and when needed to drive can surely put there phone down for five minutesto help the car out. Also, less use of gas will help our world out with global warming, and the decrease of fossil fuels in the world. Finally, there would be a decrease in crashes across the nation, but many would not know who to blame.
Driverless cars should not be aloud for may differnet reasons. First, if the driver is tired and is not doing anything but watching the road waiting for it to say for them to take over, they could fall alseep and not see the warning sign. Second, It would have possiblely more drunk driving accindents, becuase they would think the car would just take them home insted of them having to worry about it.
Driverless cars are a bad thing and should not become a thing in the U.S. They wouldd lead to many dissagreements in court, people would take advantage of them. Lastly, people would dissrespect he car and what has been given to them from technology and think it is just a toy now! | 23 |
f3ada95 | Why explore Venus? Is it not dangerous, and scary, and hot? What could it possibly have that Earth has not already given us? Well, Venus is much more like Earth than most people like to think. And personally, between you and I, I think they are scared of the opportunity to leave their comfortable homes and Cheetos. Venus could be crucial for Earth, and we are about to find out why.
Here is a hypothetical scenario. Tomorrow, we find out it is too late to stop global warming, and we have twenty years to evacuate the planet, or we die with it. Scientists everywhere panic! 'Oh no! We don't have anywhere to go!' Then, NASA steps in, like a really protective dad, 'fear not, children. We can be safe on Venus.' Everyone responds happily, until they process the situation. 'Wait, did you say Venus?! We would never last in such a desolate, violent place!' Well, you're wrong buddy. And science can vouch for me. Venus isn't so different from Earth. At least, it didn't used to be. Scientists who have made successful missions to Venus with droids have found traces of oceans, valleys, mountains, you name it! There have been many, many signs on Venus of Earth-like conditions! The article states that Astronomers have reason to believe Venus was actually more Earth-like than Mars! It amazes and confuses them! On top of Venus being just like us, it would be easily acessible. After all, it is just a few light years away.
Venus, while very desolate, and violent, has also shown signs of possibly being able to support life as we know it. Scientists would like to keep their manned missions above the violent weather conditions, making it easy for them to study the surface of the small planet. The traces of water and weather left behind provide a sense of comfort for humans, knowing that if Venus was a last resort, they would be safe and secure.
Now, in order for Venus to truly be acessable, in those hypothetical twenty years, we would have to make major technological advances. We would need transportation, protection, shelter, amongst many other things. However, Venus does provide some of the things we need, or keeps us safe from what we should avoid. Venus provides a close position to the sun, which, while still very hot, leaves plenty of wiggle room for solar energy, utilized by us! Not only would that power us, but it would also keep us from ruining another planet! The air pressure in the atmosphere is similar to that of sea level on Earth, which would be ideal for the young, and the old. Additionally, Venus provides protection from harmful radiation, much like Earth! What's not to love about avoiding radiation?
Venus is a strong, beautiful, powerful and incredible planet. It can protect us, serve us, and make us feelm safe. While there are some disadvantages, I'd argue that there are more advantages. Who wouldn't? Humans act on their curiosity, with no regard for danger or doubts. In this growing age of technology, how could we? I'd keep an open mind on space exploration. After all, we might be just lightyears from our new home. | 34 |
b1bceaf | The Electoral college process consists of the selections of our electors. The electors get together and vote for presidents, and vice presidents. I think that the poeple of the united states should have all the power with voting. We should be able to vote for the electors. This would get rid of all the people that ruin our country or are corrupt. The voting system should have 2 finalists for each branch of the gorverment. They should add up all the vote and see who has the most. they're should not be two parties. I feel like this would make the voting more equal and fair. The candidate's running for president should not have they're own group of electors. They should speak the truth on how they will help this counrty out, and should trust that the people make the right vote.
The electoral college is looked at as a non-democratic way of selecting the president . When you vote, you're not voting for the presdient, you're voting for electors that will choose who is president. This means the people don't really have a say in the electoral college voting system
In my opinion, i think people should have all the power in voting, this would make the process alot smoother. The people would elect who they feel would do best for this counrty. This would also create new community groups and councils for voting. People would open up voting centers and meetings. It would employ more jobs and build a stronger relationship. Most inportenlty, a good president | 12 |
78c07e9 | The use of the Facial Action Coding System can be valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because we can know how that person is feeling at the time. Would you like to know if a person is feeling sad,happy,bored, or even angry? Of course,not only do we know how they feel but we can also take a step futher on helping them. If a person is depressed we can talk to someone close from them and explain what they are going through, or advice them for that person to take therapy.
The Facial Action Coding System is also a great start to poeple who are new to school or even to sports. If a person feels sad because they arent doing as good as their other teamates, The coach should use the software because it will let him/her know why that person isnt really trying in the sport. Another reason why im for it is because teachers really dont know when you are bored or confused. Especially if you are one of those shy prsons that dont like raising their hand. By using this software teachers can go up to you and explain you with what you are having trouble. If a student is bored with what the what teacher is teaching, she should probably try something new to get the students attention. This technology can also show us when someone has a fake smile for example if you think that you have a friend that really isnt your friend and you talk to her she might be giving you a fake smile because she probably doesnt like you.
The use of this software can determine if you are having problems in your house,the expressions that will show would be sadness and probably anger. In todays world you may be going through a lot but people may not know and they would treat you like garbage. This would then cause you depression and probably then commiting suicide. Having this technology "Facial Action Coding System" in hands can help you stop somone from danger.
having this technology can ressolve a lot of problems with putting yourself into it. Every perosn has a falling action and a resolution to their story. With just a facial expression it can change realtionships and friendships."Making people smile" is what we need with Facial Action Coding System! | 34 |
6874fe9 | The author supports his idea by describing Venus in a very well way. In the text the author tell us about Venus and he tell us about how Venus could be, He also says that Venus could be just like Earth. Venus is the most dangerous planet because it has very high temperatures, is the hosttest planet but this p[lanet is important at the same time because is our planet sister. What this means is that Venus and Earth look alike but Venus a more Dangerous and it has differences too.
One reason why Venus is dangerous is because is the hottest planet. In the firts paragraph the author says how bright Venus is, he says that is bright because is closets to the sun, and that it also has a nickname. In the text he says '' Venus sometimes called the ''Evening Star'', is one of the brightest points in the night sky.'' This shows us that he is telling how bright Venus is. The author also says that Venus is actually a planet. In the text it says '' In our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun.'' This show us that Venus is a planet, and also how he descibe Venus.
Another reason why on how the author describes Venus is that Venus looks just like Earth. In the second paragraph the author says ''Venus is often referred to as Earth's twin, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionlly the closest in distance too.'' This show us how the author is comparing Venus to Earth and also how he describe Venus in a very well way. Venus is a danger because is the closest planets to the sun which means that is very hot and it can burned, and damage person very in a bad way or a person could die because of how hot is Venus. In the text the author says '' Since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spacecraft has touched down on Venus in more than three decades.'' This show us that Venus is a hard planet to study because of how hot it is the planet.
In conclusion, Venus has almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide and it has clouds of corrosive acid in the atmosphere. In the text it says '' A trick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus, even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere.'' This show the danger that is in Venus planet. Venus was a very high temperatures. In the text it says '' On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greather than what we experience on our own planets.'' This is show us that a human wouldn't be able to survive in Venus because of the high temperatures. If it 90 times greather then the temperature we experience in our planet then i cannot imagine a human, it would literally kill the person. Venus has the hottest surface of any other planet even tho the closest one to the sun is Mercury. Venusn is also our sister planet. | 23 |
f8d4a7b | Im going to tellin you some positive and some neative ways that smart cars could be great and dangous first. Driverless Car are comin thers some postitive and negative ways. First here some positive ways first it could help stop all these wrecks that are happeni. Cause these smart cars will have antilock brakes that will come more advanced and detected and respond to the danger out of control skids and rollovers and the sensors will have the car apply these antilocking breaks at anycrashing moments.That will apply brakes on indivual wheels and reduce power from the engine that will make the car slow down even a top speeds. It also allowing way better response and control than a human driver can manage. Further improvements in sensors and computers hardware that make the car handle more
and more driving task on there own that also making drivin safer. At Last they can also help you know whre road blocks and contruction is at and takes you to a diffrent route that will make u take iver the wheel. Now heres some negative ways of havin smart cars would be a not so great idea. Fisrt cause what if car accidents happen and people get hurt who are you going to blame for the hurt people and the messed up cars who gets blamed the manufracturers or the owner.Next new law wo8uld have to be made up for the smart cars cause these law for the old regular cars would work the same. also why would people want a driveless car that needs a driver drivers would get board waitin on there turn to drive.Also That means drunk drivers could still drive and it would be more easier for them to go and get them some achol and get drunk and turn and that turns into violence. Then these cars parts would be outragous expensive for one part and be out all kinds of money on one part.These are my opinion on why smart cars would be great and why they wouldnt be good this i why. | 12 |
8de1ffb | Do you smell that? Its the smell of gasoline and exaust fumes. Cars are taking over suburban areas. Spewing out polution and contaminating the air. There are solutions, and cities across the world are trying them.
One city that has impacted many is the city of Vauban in Germany, this city has car free streets. They were able to acomplish this by making stores and buisnesses walking distance. Apariently people are happier without cars, Heidrun Walter (citizen of Vauban) while she was walking the streets of Vauban said," When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way.". Furthermore having car free streets is also benificial to the fitness of the citizens. Without a car you are forced to walk or ride a bike which is a form of exercise.
Vehicles are terrible for cities. Cars spew exaust fumes that rise into the air and polute the cities. In Paris they almost hit record high polution levels. Cars were banned untill the polution level went down, smog covered the cities. The polution got trapped in the layers of the smog. The smpog levels rivaled Beijing, which is the most poluted city in the world. The only way to cut down on polution is to stop using cars, or switch to hybrids and plug in cars.
Some cities are taking it days at a time. In the city Bogata, Columbia there is a day where no one is alowed to drive. In Bogata they have this one day where no one is alowed to drive, they have this day to cut down polution levels and clear the streets. Other cities have started doing the same thing. This day is very benificial to the cities It helps decrease polution and smog levels and traffic jams. More people are riding bikes, going to parks and since more people are walking they have made broad, smooth sidewalks.
These movements are changing cities and making them healthier. Soon there will be less cars clean air and happier cities. So, are you ready to change. | 23 |
39a9978 | I think the Seagoing Cowboys program should be broght back because it helps people around the world. It gives the Seagoing Cowboys the chance to learn diffrent languges. It also gives the Seagoing Cowboys the chance to foster exchange students.
It helps people around the world by giving them food. It gives them food by the cattle that the Seagoing Cowboys bring to them after a atacke or a war has hapened. Plus the Seagoing Cowboys have to learn to take care of the cattle that helps them. It helps the loackels with the damage. That was the first reason
The secand reason. It gives the Seagoing Cowboys a chance to lern diffrent langes. It dose this by when the Seagoing Cowboys travel to many diffrent countreis the may pickup on the langeuse. If the go to China the might pick up on Chinases. If they go to France they might pickup italan. If they go to spain they might pickup Spansish.
The third reason. It gives Seagoing Cowboys the chance to foster exchange stundets. It dose this by you traviling all over the globe and just fall in love with the kids. so when they come over during the school year you just foster them because you love them. It gives the kids a chance to have a proper eductian.
Weshould bring back the Seegoing Copwboys program because it is fun exciting and a lot more. But most inportinal it is helping the worlds people. It helps the people by giving them food. Fostering there kids whale they are here for a prpoer eaductain. And it helps the Seagoing Cowboys be good at heart. So therfor we should breing back the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 23 |
e9c5831 | "Making Mona Lisa Smile" is about a computer hat can tell our emotions.
Today technology is really big and and has gotten better over the years, they made a computer to read peoples emotions by the way their face looks.
If school had this computor in the class rooms to read when people is confused or happy or sad may be helpful to the teacher. Some people don't like expresing there feelings because they see it as an attion graber. If they had this computor the tacher will know when the person doesn't understand something.
I honestly dont know how good it will work becuse some people can fake like if they understnd things and how they are happy but they really dont or aren't. If Dr. Huang and his college experts think it will work i think we should all give it a try and see how it works. If you arent undertsnding something it will change your paragraph so maybe you will understand so i think it will help alot of people out. | 12 |
2548fcc | In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming." it talks about how its expected to have cars that drive theirselves very soon. Humanity has always dreamed of seeing self driven cars or flying cars. It has been portrayed in movies and television shows, but is it really a safe thing for humans? In the artice the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. Driverless cars should not be developed because, they do not really drive on their own, people would get bored of these driverless cars, and new laws would have to be developed.
There really is no such thing as a "Driverless Car". In the article it states that in 2013 BMW announced that they developed something called "Traffic Jam Assistant", which means that the car can manage driving itself to speeds up to 25 mph. Except they can't really continue driving theirselves all the time. The author states that "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." If the car is still notifiying the driver to take charge at times then the care isn't really a driverless car. The author also says "This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires. This necessitates the car being ready to quickly get the drivers attention". A driverless car should not have to get the drivers attention if it is suppose to drive by itself, the driver should be able to remain safe and calm in a driverless car.
Another reason why driverless cars should not be developed is because people would get bored of not being able to drive their own car. Yes the driverless car would relieve a lot of the stress that you get knowing you have to drive but not driving at all seems boring. In the article it says "'The psychological aspects of automation are really a challenge,' admits Dr.Werner Huber, a BMW project manages driver. 'We have to interpret the driving in a new fun way.'" This shows that even the ones manufacturing the driverless cars beleive it would be boring for people to not drive all the time.
Next reason to why driverless cars are not good for being developed is because new laws would have to be developed. The development of new laws is not easy and according to laws now its only safe when an a actual person is driving the car. In the article it states that "traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer driven cars." This shows that if driverless cars are developed then new laws would have to be developed and some laws would have to be changed too. It is possible that it could change safety laws aswell.
In conclusion driverless cars should not be developed because, they do not really drive on their own, people would get bored of these driverless cars, and new laws would have to be developed. Although it sounds like a fun thing the outcome of driverless cars is never known. These autonomous cars could change the world in a negative way. The old fashion driving we all know wouldn't be the same. | 34 |
6410f68 | This article is talking about the the planetary neighbors of the Earth. on this article explains how others planets move around the sun and the earth,how are thir differences between the speed of this planets. Also explains why the humans never visit this planets, and how are their enviorment.
Venus, somethimes called the "Evenig Star" is the closest planet to Earth. this planets have differents such as, the size between their, the speed that they move around the sun, this speed mean tht sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus.
The big question here is, why humans never visited this planets in more l tha three decades. Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, no since no spacecraft survived the landing for more that a few hours. Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us.
A thick atmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide blankets Venus. On the planet's surface temperatures average oner 800 degrees Fathrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Also notable, Venus has the hottest sufrace temperature of any planet of solar system, wheather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, and powerful earthquakes.
The National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) has one particulary idea for sending humans to study Venus, Venus would aviod the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up andout of their way, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit. No easy conditions, but survivable for humans.
However, Venus can provide only limited insinght on ground conditions because most forms on light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere. Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.
For now humans can't go to explore others planes as Venus, but I think with the step of the time, humans are going to envolving more on their technologies. Something that everyone know clearly, both planets as Mars and Venus have a lot of differences between our planet. Can humans can go to others planes in next close years?

8100b68 | This technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable, in my opinion. Why? I feel like we dont need such thing to show our emotions we know exactly how we feel why should a computer have to identify that? Maybe others dont want to show the comlete emotion they are showing. It's genius how people come up with things, but it shouldn't be nesseccary to show how I feel.
According to this article, On paragraph 6.. "A classroom cumputer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" This is why we ask questions why we stay after school for extra circular/circulum assignments extra help period. We shouldn't have to go an extra mile to detict how I feel.
Paragraph 4 the author says "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recongtion software tracks these facial movements-- in a real face or in a painted face of Mona Lisa." Do we honestly think a computer could identify how we feel? we at times don't know how we feel we don't always know how the body works or the mind. Everything is based off conculsions, We have therapitst for such things as not knowing our emotions we have people in the world that study the brain and the body. A computer is just expensive and an unesseccary thing.
Some people dont like to express themselves and for a computer to just automatically submit to how I feel is insane! Also indentify the emotion going on in a picture... No way! That is histaricle. Technology is used for so many things but the actual things we need. Can't you trick your body into thinking you're something you are not? would the computer give me false information then?
Paragraph 9.. " Had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage."
I simply say this is unvaulable you would think taking some blood and doing tests or something would show my emotions, but a computer? I disagree, it just scans my face and automatically shows how I feel. It's a waste of time, and not a good source. I know myself more than anything, i know my emotions. | 23 |
129f4b5 | What a time to be alive, we have many new inventions that have changed our lifes for the good and for the fun of it. There is one new technological advancement that could change our lives entirely, the self driving car. The self driving car is a car that well does what it sounds like, it drives its self. Although there are many positive aspects for this new invention im here to talk about the bad. This new technological advancement should not be develped because, the driver would still have to be alert, if the technology fails who is to blame, and it is just to pricey.
It would suck if you were in a car that can drive itself but you still had to be there alert. The self driving cars requires you to be there constantly holding the wheel. If you are at the wheel aready why shouldnt you just drive the car yourself? Plus the car can only move no faster than 25mph. We tend to go faster than that so you might as well do it yourself. Also it would be like your waiting for your turn to drive. You would only be getting the car to drive in risky or dangerous situations. Lastly it would get boring waiting there in your car with your hands on the wheel.
Say you got into a crash, who is it to blame? You take your eyes off the road for a split secong and bang, your self driving car just crashed into another car. Is the fault yours or was it the cars? See if we make these cars we would have to make new laws on whos to blame. Also it wouldnt be safe for pedestrians and you. If the systems fail you could go crashing into something or someone without a warning. The best way to ensure someones safety is with a human driver behind the wheel.
Most people wouldnt even be able to afford a self driving car in the first place. If and when these cars come out, the average american wouldnt be able to afford it. With all that technology on and in the car it would most likely double the price of cars if not increase it drasticly. Also it will cost a lot of money to send up satillites in space to map our cities and countries. The money to send these up comes form us.
These are some of the reasons why we shouldnt make self driving cars, you would still have to be there sitting at the wheel alert in case something happens, who's fault would it be if you crashed, yours or the cars? Lastly the price to make, sell, and send up satillites in space would be to much. Also the best way to ensure someones safety is with a human driver behind the wheel not a computers. | 34 |
7503043 | In the past years companys have been working for and settings goals that would allow us to have driverless cars. Cars that drive themselves, seems like a dream. But haveing driverless cars wouldnt be all good. They are dangerous, the allow for people to become less alert while driving, and lets be real computer tech does fail. And what about accidents? Who is to balme for those. Driverless cars may seem like a dream but in reality they will just end up becomeing a nigthtmare.
A main problem with driverless cars is the failer with computer tech. Say there is a network crash, what will happen there. Thousands or Millions of cars will fail and how many people will die because of that. And like the artical said dirvers wil still have to be alert when driving because they arent complety driver free, the driver must be ready to take over at any point so truly there is no point. Companies should be working to make cars safer and install warning systems that will allow the driver to see things coming. And another problem, the cars would be run by computers and computers are hackable. Anyone who wanted to hurt a large amout of people would have yet another way to do it. Hack the system and kill with even more ease.
Like the essay said "who would be at fault?" Who can we hold reponsible for a computers mistake? As a human race we need justice, it is how we are programmed to work. So who will we make take reposiblilty, is it the owner of the driverless car or the company? What if a person who dosent have a driverless car hits someone with one? How will a driverless car predict that? A human driver dosent communicte through a computer, the computer will have no way of knowing. Seems like an easy solution though, just have everyone get a driverless car, But how much will that cost? What about families that can barly afford their used 1998 model, let alone a driverless car.
In the end driverless cars are going to be more trouble then they are worth. How can we even think about spendign so mucg money on something that is going to hurt us rather then help us. Humans are capable of driving themselves so why do we need to find yet another way of "taking the easy way out". Cars are computers and computers do fail, we dont have a good way of setting up faults and over all it is just not realistic. | 23 |
40a9a69 | In the world, there are people who believe in aliens or supernatural beings, while some do not. The face on Mars is an example of an occurance that causes people to believe in aliens or supernatural beings. Even though this is true, there are still many people who think the landform is a natural occurance. There are ways to prove that this theory for the landform is true. Reasons such as the landform being compared to natural, earth landforms and it has similar characteristics as earth lanforms help prove this is true.
The landform was compared to a butte or a messa. This means it is quite similar to earthly landforms and may have occured due to something that happened on Mars. The face on Mars is comapared one main earth landform that was mentioned. The landform is Middle Butte, which is located in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. It was a lava dome that took the form of an isolated mesa.
The face on Mars had the same look and height as a Earth landform, a mesa. It is true that there is an unusual shape to the face on Mars, there are similar occurances that happen on Earth. Though this happens on Earth, people don't say that these Earth landforms were made by aliens.
This landform is just like other occurances on seperate planets that resemble Earth landforms. Even though the landform resembles a human face, it doesn't mean the landform is an alien's doing. Just like landforms on Earth, there are more ways than one to prove the reason or the starting place of a landform. | 23 |
a572f95 | All over the world people have been limiting there amount of car usage. In Source 4 labled
The End of Car Culture in paragraph 29 states that "President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions unveled last week, will get a fortuitous assist from the incipient...". The United States is trying to do as well as the other countries who have already started this movement. The countries that have started are VAUBAN, Germany, Paris, and BOGOTA, Colombia. The way these countries have started this movement is amazing.
First off in Vauban, Germany the streets are completely car free. They have a tram that runs from downtown Freiburg to the main thoroughfare. In section 1 paragraph 3 " As a result, 70 perecent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 perecent sold a car to move here." Car ownshipd are allowed, but you can only park in two places. In 2006 Vanuban, completed a growing trend in Europe. They are calling the movement "smart planning".
Second in Paris after days of record breaking pollution Paris ban driving for a little while to clear the air of the city. Sectin 2 paragraph 14 "Congestion was down 60 perecent in the capital of France, after 5 days of intensifying smog...". Diesal fuel was to blam since almost all of Frances cars run on Diesel instead of gasoline. The smog finally cleared up Monday for them to take the banned off of driving.
Last in Bogota, Colombia they statred a program that spread to other countries. This is the thrid striaght year that cars have been banned. So instead of driving cars they hike, bike, skate or take the bus. if you drive a car there you are faced with a $25 dollar fine. In section 3 paragraph 27 "The day without car is part of an improvment campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s.".
All of these countries have come up with some amazing ways to stop the use of cars in there countries. From Colombia, to Germany, and Paris they have made it easier for there citizens to stop using cars and take another way that won't pollot the air or make "smog" as some countries call it. So lets see if America can be the next countrie to join the movement, it could be by riding bikes, walking or car pooling! | 23 |
da53428 | Venus is worth studying, you never no when we would poosibly need a new planet.
The author is trying to explain what it is like on venus how hot it is and how much it is different from earth but also have a few things they have in common like they are really close in size. Only a few aircrafts landed on Venus but were destroyed in the matter of a few hours. Venus has a surface temperature of over 800 f .Venus has an thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets. To top it off are clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus atmosphere. NASA is working on approaches to study venus safely, NASA is using the weather that Venus would have agains a silicon carbide container and lasted for 3 weeks in the chamber.
So that is why it would be a great idea to learn more about our galaxy. | 01 |
0b551ad | Have you ever wanted to participate in the Seagoing Cowboy program? In the seagoing program you help many people and animals. You also get to go on many adventures. Do you want to have a chance to see what it would be like?
In the Seagoing Cowboy program you get the chance to help people and animals in need. You help people and animals in many different tragidease. I have already been in Europe and china to help with World War II. In 1945 we got to go to New Orleans. After that we headed to greece with cargo of 335 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them. The Seagoing Cowboy program is fun and you help people and animals.
Not only do you help animals, but you also go on adventures. I have crossed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and the Pacific Ocean 2 times. I have also toured a castle in Crete, and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China. Lastly I have also taken a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. Do want in on all these fun trips?
Would you want to be in the Seagoing Cowboy program? You help tons of people and animals. You also have lots of fun. Decide to come join me. | 23 |
3643a55 | In movie's robots are shown to have less emotion then a brick. However what if we could change that and make them not only capable of expressing emotion, but also reading it! That is why I am for this idea, this is easily the next step to creating a robot that acts like a human! The sheer amount of other possible uses are nearly endless!
Tired of watching and seeing the same add you don't like? This can fix the problem! the platform running the video (for example, youtube) could find out how much you liked the add before and after, using this information, they can write an algorithem to see what ads you like and don't like and see. Running a school filled with computers? Have the lesson teach itself by keeping the student entertained! As said by dr. Huang "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor".
Hospitals could use emotion to check how a patient is feeling. if they're sad the camera will tell them. are they in pain? the camera can tell them. The knowledge of emotion just by seeing the patient's face in a camera reduces the need for nurses and allows a hospitel to hold more patients. maybe in the far future, we could have medical assistants, like baymax from big hero six, who could act as an automated doctor or nurse. need an example? in december of 2017 the flu broke out killing more then 500 people, if hospitals would've had more room, it could saved 80% of the people who died from the flu that year.
The sheer amount of uses are too vast! Ads could finnally maintain revelancy. Teachers could be replaced by good programmers, hospitals could save more lives than ever! I feel that the downsides, if any, Are complete obsolete when compared to the upside. I think we all should focus on the study of emotion and learn how much it can help. | 23 |
8ad36ea | In today's world driving a car is a daily thing. People drive cars everyday either to get to work or run arrnes and do many other things. Cars should be put to limited usage becuase cars are a leading factor in air pollution. Also limited car usage is helpful because it can help you stay healthy and in shape.
Cars should be put to limited usage because cars are a leading factor in air pollution.
Like it says in source 1 "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe . . . and up to 50 percent in some car-intense areas in the United States." Cars release gases into the air which cause pollution. The pollution is bad for the enviroment and for civilians health. Like this one time in Paris the pollution form cars got so bad it created a smog over the city. After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced driving ban to clear the area of the global city. Citezens of Paris were fined if they were seen driving during the ban, only some cars were abke to be driving on specific days. Just after a few days of this ban the smog cleared enough for a vehicles were able allowed to drive. To reduce this we must do what a few cities around the world do. Some small cities around the world are reducing car usage by creating more accesible public transportation methods, with less parking space. Also the stores are placed on a walk way, on a main street rather than in malls which are far away.
Also, cars should be put to limited usage because it can help you stay healthy and in shape. If you dont use cars you be forced to walk or to ride a bike. Doing this will be physical activity and help you stay in shape. You wont have to sit in a car and just press a pedal to move. That will get you lazy and fat. If you ride a bike instead or walk you are moving and naking your body work, keeping yourself from being fat and staying healthy.
In conclusion, car usage should be limited becuase cars are a leading factor in air pollution and also limited car usage is helpful because it can help you stay healthy and in shape. | 23 |
df8563d | The author starts off by talking about how Venus is the closest planet to earth. Although Earth has made it a challening place to examine more closely. But since Venus is right around the corner,they have sent numerous spacecrafts. The spacecrafts failed to survive the landing for more than a few hours. In the article it says " Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging plant for humans to study despite its proximity to us" This shows how challening it is. The author goes on to say how life is on venus in the article it says " clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere". The article also says ' surface temperatures average over 800 degrees". This shows how author decribes life on Venus. The author then talks about how astronomers still want to know more about Venus. In the article it says " Astronmers are fanscinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system". This shows why atronomers are drawn to Venus. The author talks about how it is human curiosity. In the article it says " our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innvation'. This shows that even if Venus is dangerous they still want to travel and know more about this plant. | 12 |
2b237a3 | Driverless cars are coming there are both pros and cons about these new cars. Theres many saftey rules we should worry about which make it a con. On the other hand some pros are that the cars woudl more advanced and luxurious. For example they can be driven on there own, they can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves. With new driverless cars would have to be a change of laws and to alert drivers with there very new system.
My positon on driverless cars is that people should not trust technology to much. A technology error could happen that could even
cause someones death just for these cars. As a result it's illegal to even test computer driven cars in many states. There would be a massive change in are drivng industry it would be like having robots all over are nation. There should more precution about the driverless cars and to think about the cons that can happen even though since 2009 they've had something similiar to a driverless car.
Many people seem to be facinated by television and movies with cars that could drive themselfes. Entertainment is an easy way to fullfill people about getting or even thinking that they can make driverless cars. Whenever people see this on TV they don't think about all the risks there putting them selfs in. Everything isnt sured that it will work which my opinion that driverless cars should not take it farther then what it has been.
Tesla has projected that Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Niassan plan to have cars that can drive themselvles by 2020. This companies are taking things to fast this should be thouht over and over a millions times. I think with the driverless cars pepople are getting to excited about it and that not taking precaution. Everyone of the buyers should be more open minded about all the troubles that could go on to buying such an expensive car.
Overall I think that the manafacturer should be more cautious in what there exposing to people. If the technology fails and someones get injured who's fault would it be the driver or manufactor? Yes exactly manufactures make it seem like driverless cars are going to be fully well safe. Manufactuers even believe that moer states will follow as soon as cars are proves more reliably safe. Which i think is outrages because a human should not trust computer technologized cars for all the many things that could go wrong. | 23 |
6688c12 | The Facial Action Coding System could and could not be useful in classrooms. It could be useful because if the student is upset, and the computer recognizes that, then it could bring up something to brighten the students mood. If the student is bored, then the computer can bring up something not so boring. This may not work for everybody though. This may cause the student to be distracted on what is on the screen, rather than do what they are supposed to do.
Say a student is sitting in a classroom on a computer. The student is upset about something that has happened. The computer could bring up something to maybe, hopefully, brighten the students mood. This might put the student in a better mood. If the student is bored, and they don't want to do what they were assigned, the computer can bring up something to bring the student mind off of what they were doing. Or the computer can bring up something to make their work not so boring. If the computer detects the student is confused, then it could bring up something to help the student.
This could be useful but it might not work for everybody. If the computer detects the student is upset, and it brings up somethig to make them happy, it might not work. They might think it is stupid or they don't care. They might think there is nothing that can cheer them up. This might work for little kids, for when they do something on the computer. This may not work for older kids though. Some would think it's stupid. They might stop using the computer if it distracts them.
Kids are easily distracted. Even older kids and adults can be easily distracted. If there were computers in the classroom to do this thing, it will cause the students to become more distracted. If the computer brings up something to make the student happier, the student will be distracted on what just pulled up rather than do their work. If they are in the middle of a test, and the computer brings up a game or something so the student isn't bored, the student would rather sit there and play the game rather than take the test. Then the student would get in trouble because they were playing a game, when they were supposed to take the test.
People may take advantage of it. If the students is told to get on the computer, and do something, and they don't want to do it, they will pretend like they are bored so the computer will bring up a game for them to play. If they are taking a test, they will pretend like they are confused so the computer brings up something to help them, rather than do it themselves.
So there are many ways it could be useful in a classroom. Such as make a student happier, make whatever it is not so boring, or help a student. There are also ways it could not be so useful. Such as when people think it is stupid, or they don't care, or when they stop using the computer because it distracts them too much. Parents and teacher also may not like this idea. | 34 |
cb15b48 | Limiting car usage has many advantages, from saving money, from helping save the planet. We spend tons and tons of dollars on a simple fossil fuel just so we can get around. Although, having a car may be nice, but also you may need to think about the long term consequences that are yet to come. For example, driving around while fun, is dangerous, you are facing the threats of drunk drivers, people not paying attention or something in general going wonky with your car, or how incredibly expensive cars are, you must buy the gas fill it up almost every two days, you will have to pay for any damages and also for the tune ups. Cars arent just expensive but they also do loads of damage to the environment. Cars, create fumes that are let out into the atmosphere that contributes to global warming. Sure, it may be nice to fdrive a big bubba truck with huge tires, some smoke stacks and to be able to "roll coal" but also think about what that does to the earth, it helps melt glaciers causing polar bears to be hot and hungry.
Driving a car may be convenient, but when something is convenient something else has to suffer. This something else would be the environent, there is less and less clean air for us to breathe, everything is getting hotter and everyone is suffering. Smog is one of the most relavent and visible issues, especially in bigger cities. Smog is a mixture of smoke, and fog, this smoke coming from vehicles and mostly factories. Going into a major city like New York City may be fun but while your there look around and notice the thick layer of smog. You are breathing all of that through out your body. While New York City may not be the smoggiest city around such as Beijing (Source 2: Paris bans driving due to smog, Line 14) but it is still an on going issue everywhere.
All in all, leaving your car at home and taking a bike to work instead can have many health benefits but also many environmental benifits, so next time you think about bringing your car to work, think of the polar bears and the future of the environment. | 34 |
21f7c6a | Dear State Senator,
Im going to tell you why im in favor of keeping the Electoral College. I will give you a few reasons why we should keep the Electoral College and don't worry I will also tell you some stuff, that's not really good to keeping it.
Lets start off with the first reason why we should keep the Electoral College. The first reason is the big states. I probably have confused you but let me explain to you what I mean. The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution. For example, in 2012 the popular vote was really close in Florida; nevertheless Obama, who won that vote. In other words, other things being equal, a large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state does.
The second reason why is, avoiding run-off elections. The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. For example, Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Electoral College. There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast; which would highly complicate the presidential election, which is reduced by the Electoral College. It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state; for example, Democrats in Texas or Republicans in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election.
Next reason is swing states. The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidate, as we saw in 2012's election. The voter who are in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign, really listening to the competing candidates. They are likely to be the most thoughtful voters (and for the further reason that they will have received the most information and attention from the candidates), the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election.
Now im going to tell you something bad about keeping the Electoral College. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. Let me ask you a few questions, who are the electors? They can be anyone not holding for public office. Who picks the electors in the first place? Well, sometimes state conventions, or state party's central committee, or the presidential candidates themselves. Did you know the single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states.
I'll admit that the Electoral College is a bit unfair and irrational...but there is also some really good reasons to keep it. No matter how hard it is to decide, I have stated my reasons why we should keep the Electoral College. To me I believe that Bob Dole was wrong when he said, ''Abolish the Electoral College!" We should not abolish the Electoral College but instead, keep it and maybe make it better. | 45 |
30a5a3d | Venus, sometimes called the "Evening star" it is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky that is amazing. Well Venus is actually a planet.
Venus is called the "Evening star" is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. In our solar system Venus is the second planet from our sun. While Venus is simple from the distant but safe vantage point of earth it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closley. Often referred to as Earth"twin" Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size and occcasionally the closest in distance too. Earth, Venus, and Marsour other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds. These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times in Venus. Maybe this is issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than threendecades. Numerous factors contribute to Vensu reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us.
In conclusion this is why it is worthly to study about Venus. Itis very cool and interstead to learn about. You could learn so much about Venus its really cool. Now i wanna learn more about Venus. It is worthly to learn about Venus. | 01 |
3cfff58 | The face we found on mars wasn't made by a alien spacecraft.
The camera had to peer through wispy slouds to see the face so it could be just a giant rock formation made by the landscapes.
It is the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa landforms common around the
American West the landform also reminds us mostly of middle butte in the snake river plain of idaho. And the lava dome that takes the form of anisolated mesa about the same height as the face on mars.
Scientists figured it was just another martian mesa,common enough sround Cydonia,only thing different was this one had unusual shadows. Some people might think it's alien because they have seen the face appear on hollywood films,and books. We used a different camera which each pixel image spans 1.56 meters so if there were objects in this picture like airplanesmon the ground or Egyptian pyramids or even small shacks you would be able to see what they were. It doesn't really look like a face it's like some clay you put together then pock some holes in it and say this is a face. | 12 |

8955592 | The technology that they are starting to use to see people different emotion can help lots of people out when they think they don't have emotions. The software would be great for people when what to know the percents of there emotion and what they show every day. Computers show be allowed to read the emotions of the student in from of them so that maybe the computer can help.
An example of why they should be allowed is because the computer just doesnt scan just a few it scans all 44 muscles in your face. It allows the computer to maybe bring something up to you to realise that maybe this is something that i need to look into for maybe fun or help. Its helps the students outs when they are trying to figure out what they can do to help with each emotion you have.
Another reason why computer show be allowed to scan emotions is because the software can identify mix emotion. Its said by Dr. Huang," The facial expression for each emotion is universal even though individual often show vary degree of expression." The software uses video imagery, the emtion-recognition software track there facial movement in a real face or a painted face.
Therefore computer should be used to scan students emotions just so maybe is its really bad the school can do something for that student and get them the help they need. This would be alot helpful if computer could help or tell the school whats students emotions actaul are and what the percents is. | 12 |
a55e6fa | What do most people think can do things better, people or machines? I, like most people, believe things are done better by hand. Would someone want a lifesaving operation done by a living doctor that knows what is going on and where things are, or a robot that is programmed to do it and could malfunction. I believe that driverless cars pose a threat against people and cars should remain in human control at all times.
Cars do not actually see the things that surrond them. If the driver decides not to pay attention and one of the cars sensors were to malfunction then the lives of many people hang in balance. Road constructions and traffic jams could pose a threat as well. When these things happen do the cars just shut down or try and get through themselves. Either way major safety hazards will arise. Just like in paragraph 2, right now "driverless" cars cannot even get out of a driveway alone. Unless some major ajestments were to come soon, driverless cars remain a huge threat to safety.
What if someone were to get hurt in a driverless car accident? The car malfunctions and the driver could not take control and gets hurt. Who willingly takes responsibility, the driver or the company? Like stated in paragraph 9, to figure this out the country would have to make more laws. All that will waste a large amount of time for both the companies that make driverless cars and congress who makes the laws. Driverless cars will give people trouble before they even hit the road.
I believe that driverless cars pose a threat against people and cars should remain in human control at all times. No matter what driverless cars do not have the instinces and emotions as humans. Cars cannot see what lies 500 feet in front of them, only humans can see that. Technology fails too much and letting cars drive for us poses to great of a threat at this time. | 23 |
