705b7fb | Will this new technology to read students emotional expression be valuable yes , because it is hard for anybody to read anybodys mind or emotion because we dont know when a kid is going too come too school or even at home with a powerful rage.
Also, There is always somebody or a peer that has attitude problems or doesnt comprehend like everybody else does and thats normal not every teen or adult has that happy life everyone else has there's people that would kill for a natural teen or adult life.
.
therefore, and this device is the key to determine who is on edge and who has a attitude problem or who is bipolar and there moslikely 10% of students that wake up with as rainy like attitude not everyone wake's up happy they wish they could but they cant and thats no there fault but yes that device will help todays society especially with this generation of rapid attitude.
conclusion, of how this emotional literally device will help determine a teen or adults mood and yes it will its not like god gave us the power too read a human beings mind. | 2 |
705d0a0 | Imagine that the president the majority of the people voted for did not win because the electoral college got confused and voted for the wrong candidate. That would not happen if we didnt have a electoral college. I believe that we should change the electoral college to election by popular vote because the electoral college can cause a catastophe and is unfair.
The electoral college can cause a catastophe. The electoral college is basically a disaster waiting to happen. We the people of the United States would be able to do nothing if the people of the electoral college made a mistake or even was pulling a scam. Source 2 states "Back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would opose John F. Kennedy. (So that popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kennedy.)" Many political disasters such as this would not happen if we had the election by popular vote system.
The electoral college is unfair. The system is outdated and irrational as well. Source 2 states "Because 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." Many people that are in a electoral college state don't care aould the peoples vote and sometimes might even want to vote for the people who they want to vote for! Source 3 states "The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidates recieve a majority of the votes cast." In my opinion, this is exactly the problem. The american people have the right to do a tie breaker not the electoral college.
To conclude, the electoral college should be changed to the election by popular vote. There is not reason that the electoral college should still be the way we vote because it is not a stable way of casting votes (disaster prone) and it is unfair. | 4 |
7060c69 | Are Diverless Really Diverless?
Did you ever have a machine ruin your food before? Has a meachine ever giving you the wrong amount of change back at the grocery store? Well, that is what it would be like to have driverless cars. Cars driving themselfs sounds really effecient, but is it really? I don't think that the driverless cars would be very safe. The car still needs assistance, the car can't have good judgement, and it is limited on things it can handle.
This machine is limited on what it can do by itself. It will only be able to handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph. It can only steer, accelerate, and brake themselves. If anything else goes wrong the machine will notify the human. The driver will have to remain alert, like they are actually driving, and wait for the "driverless" car to notify them.
Can we even call it a driverless car, if it is constantly notifying us, "to take the wheel"
so to speak.
The car can't have good judgement, simply because it is a machine. Sadly, that is what driving is, making good choices off of your judgement. That is why the car needs to notify you for your help to guide the machine. The driver has to make the choices, and navigate through tricky obstacles. These cars won't be able to navigate through tricky obstacles. It can not make life or death decisions, even with the abundant amount of sensors and cameras it has incorperated in it.
Since the car still needs a diver in it, it has notifiers to get the attention of the driver. If the driver isn't alert, and the notifiers don't work, that person might die. So, even if we make laws for these cars the death rate will go up. People will die because this car isn't actually "driverless." This is why there is a minority of states that will allow diverless cars.
Tipically, diverless cars sound effecient, but it will do more bad than good. It isn't necessary. It's a luxury. The machine is limited to what it can do by itself. The car can't make good life or death decisions for you. It will be that machine that ruins your food, or the machine that gives you the wrong amount of change back and it could cost you your life. | 4 |
7061185 | Just like the Google cofounder Sergey Brin, I too also visualize a future where cars just aren't much of a use to the world much anymore. I envision cats being used with less gas and being much more functional than other public transportation systems. Driverless cars were an option that was invented because the option of ideal roads were objectified, leaving only the option for smart cars. Smart cars perphaps are definitely seen as "Smart Cars" because they have apparent anneminities such as sensors that further promote the name of a "Smart Car." The spinning sensor on the roof of some smart cars is an ideal invention that is an important part of what makes a smart car smart. The combination of sensors allow the smart car to mimic the skill of a driverless car. Sensors have become more advanced allowing for a significant signal of apparent danger which in some cases is btweer than what a human can do alone. Sensors add for a safer and more productive car which has the qualities of keeping drivers and other passengers safe.
Smart Cars also have the capability of obtaining the antilock brakes. Sebastian Thurn believes that the technology of this generation compared to generations before us have come a long way, and that before Smart Cars, the was interesting qualities of cars we used before Smart Cars such as the absence of sensors, computers, and navigation.
The "Traffic Jam Assistant" was invented in 2013 which allowed the car to handle navigating at speeds higher than 25mph. This invention was a breakthrough, but also allowing for the driver to maintain control at all times. The "Traffic Jam Assistant" allows for the car to be capable of practically driving itself but also allows for the driver to take control in areas where humans are necessary for driving.
Cameras, drivers seats that vibrate when a vehicle is in danger, and flashing lights on windshields see all components that are possible to add to the already sustainable Smart Cars to make them more interesting, effective, and productive.
I feel that driverless cars would be a great addition to our society benefitting drivers in numerous ways. Smart Cars have sensors, antilock brakes, a built in Traffic Jam Assistant", and other anneminities such as cameras, vibrating drivers seats, and windshields with lights. These are all great contributions that would benefit drivers in numerous ways. | 3 |
7063170 | The "Face on Mars" is a natural landform. Information from Nasa has led us to conclude that it was created by natural causes.
When the "Face on Mars" was first discovered, the picture seen was captioned, "huge rock formation." The discription then goes into detail about how shadows gave an illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth. The public made up their own minds on how this Face had formed. The "Face on Mars" became a pop icon and was present in many films, books, and even radio stations.
The lack of evidence of life on Mars led people to also believe that NASA was withholding information regarding aliens or other life forms. These theories can not hold true because NASA would benifit greatly on finding life on Mars. NASA's profits would begin to increase.
Pictures were later taken to confirm that there is no alien monument on Mars. The picture actually showed a Martian equivalent of a butte or mess, landforms which are common on Earth.
Based on thorough evidence and research, NASA has come to conclude that the "Face on Mars" is nothing but a natural landform. | 2 |
706657b | Driverless cars are going to be the future and there are going to be a lot of pros, but there are going to be a few cons too. Soon there will be less driving cars or no driving cars left.
The world for the longest time has loved the idea of the driverless cars in everyday movies. So that they get to drive less then they already do. The cars that google has had could drive half a million miles without a single crash, but they aren't all driverless. The driver still has to take over when conditions get bad or they get to roadworks.
A couple of the companies that are making computer driven cars are Berkeley and General Motors. General Motors had made a car that could run on a special test track. Also the engineers at Berkeley tried to do something similar like General Motors done. Although they used magnets with alternating polarity. The car that they made had read the positive and the negative polarity in binary code. Which is a coding system that uses the binary digits 0 to 1 to represent a letter, digit, or other characteristics in a computer and other electronic devices. Google's modified Toyota Prius has sensors on the left rear wheel, a sensor on the roof, and a camera mounted near the rearview mirror.
The future of America are the driverless cars that by 2020 will be switched out with the cars that we have now. They will be the new "toys" if I may add. Personally I don't think that it is going to work out well with the Google driverless cars. | 2 |
706a54e | "Making Mona Lisa Smile" Is a famous painting that includes this new technology that tells your emotion. In this famous painting she seems to be smiling in this case she really wasn't. With this technology you can see all 44 muscles. In the article it says that, "the computer can classified six basic emotions which include happines,suprise,anger,disgust,fear,and sadness." This shows how a computer can do so much just by seeing you're face.
With all this they want people to identify a students emotion. This is valuable because when a student is doing their work they could get confused. With this new system you can caculate their emotions and quickly identify if a student is confued. This can really help a teacher with their lessons. Another way that you can tell is by looking yourself in the mirror. You have muscular units that help you identify how your felling whether your happy or sad.
This famous painting is Mona Lisa in which you find her smiliing can demonstrate her emotions while they did the painting. In the article it shows that, "shes 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful and 2% angry." With this Information a computer can recognize your emotions. Mona Lisa wasn't really happy but in the painting you see her with a small smile. This technology is helpful and useful in so many ways. | 2 |
706d693 | If you read the 1st sentence in the 1st paragraph. You can see it said this picture was taking in 1976 then you see a picture from 2001. The 1976 picture is blury so it look like it a face. But in the second picture it more clear and little zoomed up and you can see cracksand mountian/hills in the ground and does not look anything like a human face. Is it ture?
NASA had released the picture to the public. They had made hollywood movies and book and had went on talk show talkiong about the face saying are there really aliens out there . For over good 25 years alot of people thought there really life on red planet. So NASA really wish there was life on Mars so they invented better camreas and ships to send back to Mars see if there was really life on Mars.
In 1998 they had the on borad MGS taken a few pictures and had look like there was pymarids on mars. Cause of the shadows that the landform was making. 41 degrees north and that winter in april for Mars so there alot of clouds. But nasa had prepared took look one last time they said was super hard and alot of work. Because it like fax machine in narrow 2.5km wide strips. they said it just does not pass over face very often.
"Neverthless on april 8, 2001 it was a cloudy summer day on cydonia Mars Global Surveryor drew just enough for second look they" said. In paragrapgh ten they had rolled the spacecraft 25 degrees to the center of the face. With camera the maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters compared to 43 meters pixel from the 1976 vikings photo.
It is a bust the Egyptian-style-pymarids or small shacks. It was a Butte or Mesa landforms. It was shadows or caverns in the landforms. It would of been cool if there ws alien life on there so we copuld learn more about the galaxy. But mabey one day we will find some type of alien artifact out there. | 2 |
707366a | Exploring Venus is a challenge and studying this planet seems impossible. However, when the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the risks; people tend to get skeptical and curious about what measures can scientists take so that Venus can be explored? When can visiting Venus happen? and Why are scientists even discussing further visits to it's surafce?
The author answers the questions by stating his/her claim with evidence.
What measures or steps can scientists take so that venus can be explored? The author claims that scientists from NASA have a possible solution to set foot on Venus. According to the text "NASA's possible sollution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." This proves that NASA is taking steps for space exploration with ideas that can be useful for whenever the time is right to study what Venus is all about.
Visiting Venus can happen according to the author when "many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." This means that when the machines are lasting long enough on Venus to give scientists information on how we can explore this planet, then visiting Venus can happen sooner or later.
Why are scientists even discussing about possible visits on the surface of Venus? The author claims that fascination among astronomers has sparked interest to the visitation of Venus. According to the text "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." The text further correlates the idea that if Venus was once like Earth, visits to the planet can be made possible because a once earth-like planet can be studied, and knowledge can lead to an astronomers dream become reality.
Exploring Venus will be a challenge, but when the three most important questions were there to be asked; the author backed up his claim with strong evidence that proves setting foot on the surface of Venus is possible. So if not everyone believes that exploring Venus can be done, the author proved why it can be. | 4 |
7077598 | I think having Facial Action Coding systems are a bad idea for students and regular people. I feel that it is a lack of privacy of what you think and that humans shouldnt rely on a piece of technology to change who we are, and as for this technology being for students i really dont think is a good idea at all. The reason why is becuase there could be students that prefer not to talk about there problems and this technology wont help them feel happier or any other emotion. Yes it will see that the person is angry about something but i feel that is not something to be said or written down for the public or teachers to figure out. If the student is ready to talk then the student will talk to you, not only that but thats what can create the bond between the teacher and the student and with that bond the student will learn to trust there teacher more better and for the teacher to trust the student better.
But with this technology, I feel like that would not be a good idea for teacher and student bonding, because then students would have a hard time trusting teachers because of the technology and if anything making student feel like they wont want to talk about there problems or anything at all because of the lack of trust that this technology gives them for teachers to figure out. If you want to know how the student is doing so badly then sit down and talk to the student about whats going on you should not need a device to detect what they are feeling. What would they gain from all that information how the students feel what is that suppose to do to make them happier making this sort of technology is a really big lack of privacy.
In conclusion i think having the Facial Action Coding System is a really bad idea especially for students becuase of the lack of privacy the students will have with there own emotions. Yes this sort of technology can figure out whats on there mind at the time but if the student is ready to talk to you about something then the student will open up to you making a better bond instead of having technology that pretty much forces itself to scan and recognize peoples emotions. | 3 |
707b978 | Luke and his friends set up a program for people to join the Seagoing Cowboys. Luke also set up a where they would have a speech of why people should join the Seagoing Cowboys. Once everyone sat in thier seats Luke came up to the stand.
"These are some reasons why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program, it could a once in a life time opportunity, i know it was for me, I thought is was going to be fun once my friend invited me to go with him". "You will have a lot of fun in this Seagoing Cowboys program, their will be stuff to do on the cattle boat to pass the time" Luke said "You would kind of have a free time of sightseeing, cattle-boat trips is an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy".
After that a lot of people has signed up for the Seagoing Cowboys program. Everyone liked being on the cattle boat. Everyone liked being overseas they still had table tennis tournaments, played baseball, volleyball, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling. Everyone liked the adventures and the marvelous sights. Everyone also thought that it was a once in a life time opportunity. Everyone just could not describe how marvelous it was to be a Seagoing Cowboy. Everyone liked the fealing of being a Seagoing Cowboy. | 2 |
7082c02 | Is Venus a worthy persiut? Will it help us learn more about our Earth? The answer to these questions is yes. Venus has some features that are really similar to the ones on Earth. By learning more about Venus we can apply the knowlege to our palnet to further help it. This knowledge can be applied to avoid catastrophes or other bad furtune.
One way we know exploring Venus is a good idea. Is the fact that Venus is a dead ringer for earth. Their apperance is uncanny just by looking at them. Venus and Earth are really similar plants, they are even nicknamed twins. Earth's size is extremely close to Venus's size. The fact that these planets share a similar size can help infer that they work and sustain themselves similiar. For example, if two people are the same size they probably have similar needs. Their caloric, water, nutrient, and other needs are probably the same. Knowing more about Venus can help the Earth be a healthier place.
Another reason the exploration of Venus is essential is that Venus used to have the same geological features that earth has now. We know that Venus was once covered by ocean just like Earth. The surface also was evidence of rocky sediments. This can help infer that there used to be valleys, mountains, and even craters. The earth inhabits all of these characteristics as well. What happend to the ones in Venus? The answer is unknown that is why it is crucial to explore Venus so that Earth can avoid the same misfortune as its twin planet.
The last reason Venus needs to be explored is that by the few times that it was explored. The is evidence of past life. There is a big chance that Venus supported various forms of life. These forms of life are now certainly absent on Venus due to the horrid atmosphere. Why is life absent? The reason is unknown, but Venus has answers. The future of man kind depends on an exploration to Venus. The Earth can not parish, just as Venus did. Scientist need to uncover why Venus is in the condition it is in, so that they can mold Earth's future for the better to substain forms of life.
Venus and Earth share so many characteristics. Knowing all the possible information about Venus can help the Earth avoid the current state of Venus. Their size will help us know the needs of Earth. The change of the geological features in Venus can help humans prepare for change. Finally, Knowing what happend to the forms of life in Venus can help the human race live on. All these factors are crucial for the prosperity of our home. | 4 |
708eea4 | I do not think cattle boating is a good idea.It is very dangerous,and you don't even have to think about why it is.Remember when Luke slid down the ladder,starting to sliding off the boat,but a metal peice caught his pants,and he made it alive with broken ribs?Thats dangerous dont you think?Thats not it eighther<because you sse im justgetting started.What if the metal peice wasn't there,or the metal peice was aiming for his eye or worse?Cattle boating is also dangerous because you can get stranded.For example,what if a giant storm came, and it caused the ship to go off course and you end up in the middle of no where?Also do you remember when Luke said he gets to see a lot of amazing places,well what if you became stranded on the worse places a human can never be?Now what if your food slid off the boat?Or a giant creature attacked the ship.Your life would be over.This is why I think cattle boating is dangerous.Instead of thinking twice about going,you need to think a million times about going,or dont go at all.Thats what I suggest. | 2 |
7090f87 | Luke is a nice guy who lived in a small-town so he helped the people in Europe because his friend don had told him that after the world war 2 europe and many other countries were left in ruins.Europe was left with nothing so to help these countries had to recover their food supplies,animals,and more, 44 nations had joinned together to form UNRRA [ the united nations relief and rehabiitation administration].
UNRRA hired seagoing cowboys to take care of the horses,young cowboys,and mules that were shipped overseas.
So lukes friend told him all about it and he told him if he would go to europe of corse luke coudn't say no so luke and don signed up for the seagoing cowboys so they could help europe with all the stuff they needed.In Agust 1945,they received their orders from new orleans.
They arrived in August 14,luke said that the day the pacificwar ended.they got their seaman's paper and boarded the ss charles w.wooster,and had heeded for greece with cargoof 335 horsesand enough hay and goats to feed them.
Europe was sure geeting helped a hole buch it was geting better and wasn't in ruins that much that was a lot of help it was geeting.luke had turned 18 when he and don had arrived in greece wich meant he would be drafted to military service wich would also he the military with soldiers.
Luke had made nine trips-the most of any seagoing cowboythe cattle-boat trips were unbelievevable opportunity for a samall-town boy
they wouldn't believe it that he would be able to do that kind of thing, but he was still able to do it and he helped europe. | 1 |
7090fb2 | Do you want to be a seagoing cowboy? I was once, and I think that the experience is very fun-filled and educational. You will meet many different types of people on your journey. Does it sound fun? Well, here are some reasons that you should decide to become a seagoing cowboy.
First off, you will find that there is always something to do on board the ship, I found that there are many things to do so you can pass time. I played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed on return trips after the animals were unloaded. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games were some of the activities that we did.
Also, when you are off the ship and you need something to do, you can explore the surrounding area. On my trips, I toured an excavated castle, saw the Acopolis in Greece, took a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China. There are many things to see and do anywhere you are.
Lasty, you always know that the things that you do help many people in many ways. I always loved seeing the smiling faces of the people that I gave my time and energy into helping them. The people that we helped were survivors of World War II. Their belongings were destroyed, and most of their countries were left in ruins. We gave them food supplies, animals, and more.
So, do you want to be a seagoing cowboy now? If you do, thats great! The experience lets you remember that what you did changed peoples lives forever. If I had the chance to become a seagoing cowboy again, I would take it. This made me more aware of what life was like for other people. | 3 |
7094f7e | Some people believe that the "Face on Mars" is just an alien artifact. Although these people believe this, it is not true. The "face" that was discovered on the surface of Mars was really just a mesa. This was proven, when scientists used a special camera to capture what we were really seeing. The camera used showed everything that it captured. It was so clear that no matter what it had taken a picture of you'd be able to tell exactly what it was.
This was a huge attraction to everyone. This topic bacame very popular. The truth was then revealed. The huge attraction, the "Face on Mars", was just a landform. Things like this were commonly found around Cydonia, thus proving that things like this are somewhat common in this area. The picture taken showed a butte or a mesa which are said to be commonly found in the American West. It was even compared to the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa. In conclusion the disception of the "Face on Mars" was all just a misunderstanding. The truth was unfolded an now the world knows what the "Face on Mars" really was; a mesa. | 2 |
7099582 | In the article the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the risks and dangers. In paragraph 8 the author said " 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 ad innovation." Which he is stating no matter the risks we should travel so we can expanded to meet the edges of imagination.
But he didn't really support his idea until the last paragraph. All the other paragraphs are talking about how Venus is so inhospitable and how Venus has the hottest surface temperature in any planet in our solar system even though Mercury is closer to the sun. The author also stated that "Venusian geology and wether prsent additional impediments like erupting volcanoes. powerful earthquakes and frequent lightning strikes."
In conclusion the author didn't really support what his suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. All he talked about was how Venus is so inhospitable and how impossible it would be to get to send someone and get to the surface alive. | 3 |
709c659 | Have you ever wondered how students may learn better. Well what if I told you it is Facial Action Coding System? Does'nt it sound complex and difficult? This technology is able to read human facial expressions and determain if a person is mad sad angry or happy. This type of technology would be so benificial in student school life and this is how.
What if your son or daughter is having trouble in school because the words that are on a passage that is being read on the computer is to complex for them. Would'nt you want the teaacher to give them a simplified edition of the passage. If FACS was used on this computer the program could sense that the student is confused and it will automaticly switch it to a simple edition.
Bullying is becoming a big problem in the world at schools. What if a student is being bullied and they do not want to show there emotions. This technology could find out there true emotions in a attempt to help the student overcome their problem.
What if a student stole something of another kid and you want to find out if he really did it then you can use this program to figure out by the students facial expressions. This could make it so much easier to solve issues in the day to day world to solve crimes in school or conflicts.
These are all great resons on why the FACS program should be used in schools. This would be very benificial for students, teachers, and even the parents of the student. | 3 |
709e39a | Driverless cars might sound cool or interesting but are they really a good idea? Although the idea of driverless cars sounds really cool, it has some negative aspects. Driverless cars may not be as safe and fun as they make it seem. Some of the ideas that make the car seem safe may cause more problems. Developing completely safe and driverless cars seems very hard.
In paragraph 7 it says the car notifies the driver when the road ahead requires human skills; the car might not be quick enough to notify and it could cause and accident. Maybe something gets in the way and it all happens so fast, the car would not be able to notify the driver so that the driver takes over. Paragraph 7 also mentions that the driver must ramain alert but that seems a little difficult due to the fact that your not driving and might get distracted easily. Paragraph 8 talks about in car entertainment but I think the would completely distract the driver; although the entertainments turn off when the driver need to take over, the driver would probably need more time to try to focus on driving. Just like texting and driving, the incar entertainment can be a distraction.
Paragraph 7 aslo talks about the car watching the driver while the driver watches the road, so would it be another human watching through a camera? If it is not another human how would the car be sure that the driver is paying attention? Even though the camera thing seems like a very good idea, it might not be very effective. Paragraph 9 talks about the technology failing and whos fault it would be. How could they decide if its the drivers fault or the manufacturers fault? Maybe the car took too long to notify the driver and an accident happened, how would they know who to blame?
Safe and completely driverless car would be amazing but it seems hard to create a safe driverless car. Some people think diverless cars are more safe than regular cars but they might be equally as dangerous. | 3 |
70a17a9 | Quick question can you remeber your first time behind the wheel, blood rushing from all the excitement from this new experience. So nervous but so anxious, filled with fear that you can't help but to embrace. Boy what a rush, but what about those who haven't had that experience yet? I guess that's one thing we forgot to stop and think about hmm.. That's because when it's outside of ourselves it doesn't really faze us. Sure taxi rides are fine at times but it would get old and boring sooner or later with out a doubt. So driverless cars are not really what I think we need at this point.
Driverless cars seems like a fun futuristic type of thing so I understand why people would want them , not to mention that in certain situtation could be lovely to have. Why wouldn't you want a driverless car you may ask. Well First off the price of one of these machines cost up to two hundred million dollars and I know for a fact I can't afford this and neither can lots of others in this world .There is also things that just don't add up, we have been told nothing about warrinties or how any payment go, do you get the same insurance as you did with a regular vechicle, and if something breaks or goes wrong and your injuired or injure someone else who's to blame.
The text even ask it's self " If the technology fails and someone is injuired' who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?".
If that's not a clear cut reason of why these are nothing but a risk then I don't know what is. People can be put at fault for an accident that they had no control over at all because the car drives its self, therefore its like a game of Russina roulette you never know whats gonna happen or who will be blamed.
In conclusion to some of these terrible possiblitles I still take into consideration that everything right now is just he said she said no one really has proof that it will shut down and cause accidents or if it will even cost two hundred million by the time it comes out. But there are some things we do know and that is that in : California, Nevada, Florida, and District of Columbia it is illegal to have even semi-automatic cars and changing laws for something unproven is highly doubted. As of now it sounds safer for a driver to be paying full attention to the road then to be in a unpredictable driverless car where anything could happen, safety comes first. So for the sake of the people who haven't had a chance to experience their first time behind the wheel and for the safety of all on the road driverless cars are a no in my book. | 3 |
70a621a | In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author supports the idea that studying Venus is worthy but also dangerous. The idea of studying Venus is a very scary idea because of all the dangers it can cuase for humans to get close to the very hot and stormy planet.
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" they are wanting to explore Venus but they realized the dangers it can have and the worthiness of also trying this experiment. In the text the author states that Venus is a very hard place to land a spacecraft on thats why we haven't done it in 3 decades. A reason for them not landing a spacecraft on Venus is the extreme temperatures that humans can face. The temperatures o Venus can get up to over 800 degrees fahrenheit, also the atmosphric pressure is 90 times greater than wht we experience on Earth. The author states that a "submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our ocean and would liquefy many metals." The author is saying that if went to Venus with a spacecraft there would be a great possibility that the spacecraft could melt right then and there on Venus.
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author gaves us many reasons why the experiment would be a worthy but also very risky experiment. Knowing what the people from NASA said about Venus's temperatures and atmosphere would be very risky for the humand they would take to that planet. | 3 |
70a84ef | Dear State Senator,
I write this letter to you in favor of removing the electoral college and using a popular vote system to elect a president. One reason is that qualifying citizens don't vote for the president, instead they vote for a slate of electors (Paragraph 10 Sentence 1) who then vote for the president. This process makes it seem useless for the citizens since they can't directly vote for the president. This is a democracy, right? The citizens can't control who their electors vote for most of the time, (Paragraph 10 Sentences 9-10) thus making it much more complex than how it needs to be.
Another reason that the electoral college is a problem is that the system may cause alot of conflict between states, resulting in a big mess leaving only the government to fix. These conflicts can include the fact that only one vote is sent out in each state (Paragraph 12 Sentence 4) that represents all the many voters which could range from a few hundred thousand to millions of citizen voters, making the system once again unfair to voters. The candidates don't spend much time in states in which they know they won't win (Paragraph 13 Sentence 2) but spend alot of time in those states that represent themselves, either the republicans or democrats. The electoral votes in my opinion object alot of campaigning but if the electoral system was gone, then these candidates can spread their word to each and every state without much annoying favoring.
There are a few reasons though that the elctoral college can help maintain some problems which could lead to chaos in the future. For example, if the voters in the state of Florida vote the same for each candidate, the stysem can help avoid any further conflict since only one vote is being submitted due to the debating of the state electors as explained in the above paragraph. Another small reason is that no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president, (Paragraph 19 Sentence 1) making each states vote count.
In conclusion, I personally find that getting rid of the electoral college would be more beneficial for the citizens and can avoid any major problems in the future. Even though the electoral college system has its advantages, popular voting would be a much more simpler way to elect the president. | 3 |
70abb34 | The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration consists of,44 nations that came together to help countries recover their food supplies,animals and more.
They hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses,young cows,and mules that were shipped overseas.
Luke Bomberger and his friend Don Reist signed up.
Luke exclaimed that besides helping people,he got to see other countries,such as Greece,and Europe.
He also toured an excavated castle in Crete.
Luke had to take care of the animals daily,they had to be fed and watered two or three times a day.
Food and bales of hay had to be brought up from the lower holds of the ship,and stalls had to be cleaned.
Luke said that helping out on his aunt Katie's farm as a boy prepared him for hard work, but not for the dangers of the sea,on his second trip luke served as a watchman.
His job was to check on all of the animals every hour.
One time he said he slipped and fell on his backside and his heart raced as he shot feet first toward an opening side of the ship,thankfully a sharp peice of metal stopped his slide,or he would have flew overboard into the dark Atlantic.
He was happy to be alive,but he could not work for a couple of days due to cracked ribs.
Luke also found fun on board,especially on return trips.
When the animals had been unloaded,the cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments,fencing,boxing,reading,whittling,and games also helped pass the time.
In conclusion, he feels that being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure. Luke quotes,"I'm grateful for the oppurtunity,"he says. "It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs." Lukes example of being a "Seagoing Cowboy" shows how you today how,by being on a boat,can make a difference. | 1 |
70ad9b7 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, he defines how the new Facial Action Coding System allows technology to this day determine emotions of humans. The author uses the famous painting of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci as an example of emotion(s) the computer can detect. However, the new technology is a valuable advantage because it can express all emotions one could feel that could create a positive impact for greater educational opportunites in the future.
The 3-D model of the Facial Action Coding System is described to have a human-like appearance with joints like the human muscle. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal, even though individulas often show varying degrees of expression"(Huang). The future of technology is rapidly changing and adapting to become smarter and more like a human mind set. Like humans, the computer can detect if someone may be feeling one way through facial expressions. For example, "We humans perform this same impressive 'caculation' everyday. For instance, you could probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." Logically, if a close friend claim to say they might feel one way but you might feel they aren't expressing themselves like that. "Yet Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions...Perhaps Dr. Huang's emotion algorithms are a different sort of 'Da Vinci Code'!" From the evidence of Da Vinci's studies of human anatomy, the "code" could be used on the FACS to determine a facial expression. "To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a 'smiling' politician or celebrity isn't being truthful."
The use of FACS can be a valuable source in the future to involve computers in communication. "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes dr. Huang. 'So computers need to understand that too." From a scientific and professional point of view, Dr. Huang indicates that computers should be involved with emotions. It is valuable to say that technology to read emotional expressions of students in classrooms is indeed an advantage that can greatly impact their learning envoirnments. "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." From this quote, it is foreshadowing that future education is likely to be involved of more computer activity. The medical and political field could receive a positive impact from this as well. "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive- for video games or video surgery."
Overall, the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is indeed a valuable statement and can be used in further educational, political, and medical positive opportunites. | 3 |
70ae282 | In Germany life goes on without a car as people can see that. But cars do reallly excite in germany but they just have big garages for them. THey only have two place to park which is you have to own a house in order to have a parking space for your car. Automobiles are taking to Chicago and Shanghi in order to find a home. The gas to the cars is mostly found in Europe and the 50 percent is found in the United States.
In New York the Suburbs will spread out homes on private garages were dream towns come homes. The cars will be found all over the world. but there for there is two ways to get gas for them. Cars will around during The World War2 as the passage is saying. Now during this time they are making more better cars in this world for people could move around, dont matter if its a truck a car they would find a way too move you around the world. | 1 |
70ae3fd | The Conspiracy that aliens created the Face on Mars is a false statement. The Face is just a natural landform. The Face shows resemblance to American Landforms. On April 8, 2001 they used a Mars Global Surveyour (MGS) to take a more detailed picture of the landform. I will explain furthermore.
In paragraph 3, it stated " huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." When NASA showed it to the public they hoped it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars and it certainly did. After NASA showed the public the Face on Mars it had became a pop icon. "It had starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows---even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years!"
The Face on Mars is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa, which are landforms common around the American West. Garvin says, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars." On April 8, 2001 they used a spacecraft called Mars Global Surveyour (MGS) and they took a picture of the landform in the spacecraft's best picture resolution.
In conclusion, the Face on Mars is just another ordinary landform that is a Martian equivalent to a butte or a mesa. Also, I think that the winter conditions made some of the features on the face. For example, the picture after paragraph 5, the eyes, nose, and mouth could've been made by the rough winter conditions. In paragraph 3 it states that, " . . . formed by the shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth." The word that stands out the most in that sentence is illusion becuase it makes people think that the shadows were created by aliens. | 3 |
70b24ac | In this paragraph, google is developing or
working on a Driverless car, and this would be beneficial to some people because people can get tired, or to some people
this could be a bad thing because some people want to take control of their motor vehicle. Their has already been some motor facturing companies that have already developed and is testing out their new product.
My personal opinion about this situation is that I would love to have this car, but this wouldnt give me the complete support I feel I would need in some situations. Technical diffuculties can happen at any moment, anything can happen. Your power could possibly go out, your
technology system may encounter errors. Like how the paragraph states that " the car can accelerate , brake, steer on its own", I wouldnt feel i would have the safety that I deserve/need.
This car would be perfect to someone whom have made sure that they know what their doing. I would feel safe if their would have more security. A driverless car would just feel too much for me, | 2 |
70b3ce0 | I personally think that the new technology is kinda just interessting. Therefore it can be a good thing to because,"the 3-D computer construscts all major muscles in the model must move like human muscles". Dr. Paul Eckman has classified six basic emotions, "your frontails pars lateralis muscle raises your eyebrow when you are suprised, using video imagery tracks the facial emotions. For example "you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face". Dr. Huang obsereves that some artists looked into human anatomy to help them paint their painting. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored", which is pretty much a good thing because most students don't like to ask for help on their work. "Most human communication is noverbal, including emotional communication". Most of us don't like to say how we are feeling, thinking or ect, we kinda just show it on our face, like if we're confused, sad, mad, or happy. The new trechonoly could be a good thing for some of us or a bad thing who don't like to say how they are doing or feeling. I think we could use this technology for school mostly because that's where alot of us don't express ourselves as we should. | 2 |
70ba307 | You should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program because you get to go to fun and unique places. We Have fun adventers. You get to take care of horses and baby cows and if you don't like it then play a volleyball game or a baseball game in the empty holds that had been where animals were held.
We went to China,Europe,Acropolis in Greece,Venice,and Italy. It's really fun to be able to do this stuff with people and animals and that is why you should participate in the because its so cool to see everthing you have dreamed of your whole life.
It might take a few days,weeks,mounths,or even years but at least you get to see all kinds of different things that is not what you always see everyday of your life at home at the same place you should go out and see all kinds of different places because it fun and you get to play with the animals all the time besides when your alseep. | 2 |
70bb147 | Are Driverless Cars the Future or Death to Many?
When people invision the future some may imagine hallograms and flying cars. In today's world numerous people are thinking of ways to better our future, for example Sergey Brin. He invisions driverless cars and how they might function. There are many pros and cons in this equation! One may think that their life isn't in their own hands, they may think they don't have contol of the car, or there may be devistating glitches or maulfunctions.
There may be many risks, such as glitches but there are various benifits! For example the text says, "Allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." This shows that if the machines work correctly then they would decrease a lot of the everyday rearendings. The downfall about that is if there is a glitch in the syastem and someone is on the highway and you stop dead in the middle of traffic and could potentually die. Although one may depend on that car a glitch may be the reason someone died.
Numerous people count on their phones to help them out in the hastles of everyday life, but would one really be willing to put their lives into the hands of a machine? When riding with a new driver one may tend to be weary of the new driver because they have no experiance or as much knowlege, simply because it's a new learning experiance for them. Growing up some may have had to undergo a "trust exercise" were one would fall back onto someone elses arms without looking to see if they'd catch them. Having a machine driving you is exactly like that exercise unless in this case instead of falling to the floor one may die.
Trust is a major role in having a driverless car because there is no telling what will happen. For example, Smart Phones glitch constantly and they're not holding someones life in their hands. Imagaine if a driveless car had a glitch and imagine the devistation. There are many variables but having a machine control the car isn't the way to go.
To conclude, driveless cars would play a huge role into the future and when most people think of the future they think of flying cars and teleporters. Saftey should come before everything and it's important to recignize that someone's life isn't in their own hands, they're not in control of the car, and machines always have glitches! One may say that driveless cars are unsafe and unreliable and they're correct. | 3 |
70cf70a | The author states that despite the challenges Venus presents in order to further explore it is worth of the danger that follows. The author states how Venus is "Often refered to Earth's twin" and becasue of this fact and how close venus is to Earth obvious curiosity sparked missions in order to try to land a spacecraft "on this cloud-draped world" named Venus. Although the author states how "no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours" and there have been numerous spacecrafts that have been sent on this mission it still should not stop us from trying again and finding solutions to these challenges. This ultimately leads the author to support the idea that "studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents."
There are numours evdience in this article that support the main claim made in the article that "studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." First off the author states how Venus has a "temperature average over 800 degrees farrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experiance on our own planet" or earth. The author even gives an anaology to show, with imagery, what thoses numbers look like as he says, "such envioronment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of the our ocenas and would liquefy many metels." However this raises a question: If Venus is so "inhospitable" then why are there futher visits to its surface being discussed? This ties back into the origal claim the author supports as he says, " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus becasue it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Venus was proably covered largely with ocenas and could have have supported various forms of life, just like earth." The author is infering, because of these similarites between Eartjh, it is only crutial that an expolration of Venus happens soon, also becasue given the long time frame of the when the last spaceship tried to enter Venus's atmosphere which was three decades ago. The authorr is infering how despite how dangerous it is, like we have seen in the past attempts to fly to venus, it is more worth it to be more proactive and find options to make a "misson both safe and scientifically producitve" to futher study the unanwered question of Venus. Futhermore the author states how NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. This way " a vehicle hovering over Venus would aviod the unfriendly ground conditions." This is one possible solution the auhtor claims that NASA has come up with to at least try to get close to Venus without damaging spacecrafts. With this approch the article even states they hope to send humans to Venus too. However this approch has its down side because; "peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions." "Researchers cannot take smaples of rocks, gas or anything else, from a distance." This however supports authors claim that "studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." This is supported when he states that we should see this downside as a challenge to make it even better so we can ultimaly touch the suface of Venus even despite the dangers that come with this. The author supports this by stating that, "many resaerchers are working on inovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaninfully to our knowlegde ofVvenus. Even despite the risk that eveyone knows by now scientists and reserchers find it worthy enough to keep studting Venus and how to get a human on its surface.
In conclusion, through out the article, the reader is given inshight to the dangers Venus presents on what reserchers are trying to do today which is to get a human on Venus. The author with evidence supports the idea that "studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." The author makes it clear that these dangers do not have to be looked at in a negative way but rather can be looked at as challenges to try to overcome. He claims that these challenges venus presents have value becasue of how similar Venus us to earth. The author infers his will untimilty lead to human curiosity which will lead to endevors yet to come. Futhermore the author claims how setbacks should not make us quit and how our pursuit to Venus should not be limited by dangers we find along the way. Rather we should take that uncertinity and danger and us it to make venus a a worthy persuit to further reseach in the recent years to come. | 5 |
70daa75 | The author in this passage is very supportive of his idea because he gives insight and talks about the entire picture instead of just the good about exploring Venus. The author allows the audience to see the risks people need to take to explore Venus.
According to the author we can't get people on Venus just yet because the conditions on the planet are just too severe. In the text it states " Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last." With this happening eventually we can send machines to Venus that can survive the harsh conditions and further help us figure out how the planet was once supportive of life forms and help us figure out ways to inhabit the planet. While these machines are being worked on Nasa is also working on a blimp like machine that can allow for a human to go to Venus, but they won't be able to get samples of Venus it will allow for a better picture of the planet and allow us to better observe and find out more about the planet.
The author also provides the readers with ways that Nasa is trying to accomplish with different electronics. The text states "some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface." This allows the audience to see that when Nasa goes to Venus, they will be prepared for the harsh conditions and allow for a safer enviornment. They are also seeing if old computers could be a factor in being more cautionary on Venus because the older computers were more durable and the parts may not melt like the computer do today because the older version computers were made of less electronics and more levers and things like that. The author wants the audience to know that these researchers are taking the precautions and making sure that their astronauts are going to be safe on this planet.
The author provides thorough evidence to all sides of his idea to show the audience that he doesn't just think about the good in exploring Venus he wants the readers to see how dangerous it actually is and all the equipment testing you need to be safe on this planet. It allows the readers to see the good and the bad in exploring Venus but he also tries to sway your own idea of exploring Venus. | 4 |
70df38f | In my personal opinion I would say that the technology to read other people emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not a good valuable. The Facial Action Coding System wouldn't be a good valuable because why would school bother buying the Facial Action Coding Sysytem for their student just to check if they happy or not. Instead of buying Facial Action coding System they should buy school material,books or even online websites for kids to learn,because kids really wouldn't like a computer checking them out if they are happy or sad.
Students wouldnt like to go to school knowing that almost everyday that there going to check their emotions. Everyday there are people that go to school sad,depressed,happy, and exited and those people dont wat to tell other people how they feel like. Even if those people try to fake smile theey wouldn't get away without it because in the article it say's "In a false smile,the mouth is streched sideways using zygomatic major and a different muscle,the risorius. To an expert,faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful. So this means that it can detect a fake smile because of our face muscle called orbicularis pars palpabraeus.
Even though it's kinda a cool invention but it shouldn't be for students or schools because sometime students want to fix here emotion by themselve or sometimes they don't want anyone to see that person emotion. My own opinion the Facial Acting Coding System should be used in places like in therapy or somewhere just related to behavior but it wouldn't be a good value in a school. | 3 |
70e0201 | Dear Senator,
I think you need to change it to where the election goes by popular vote for the president of the United States. It's not fair to have electoral college. The people that have to obide by the president should be able too choose who thier president is. I can see where people like the electoral college because the electors get to choose and it has to be a majority of 270 electoral votes. I also don't like the fact that all of the states get a different amount of electoral votes. Claifornia gets the most amount of electoral votes, it gets 55. But there are a few states that only get three or four. All of the states should get an equal amout of votes, We are the 'United' states, arnt we?
The idea of the common adult (over the age of 18) being able to vote is a good way to let us keep our say in things, especially if we get to choose who the president is going to be. Once again, I think you should change it to popular vote for the president of the United States. | 2 |
70e2f22 | Kat was a twenty-two year old girl who was driving to the store late at night. She had realized that she needed to get her little brother a present for his birthday tomorrow. Kat was tired from a long day of studying for her upcoming collage finals, so it didn't take long for her to pass out at the wheel. Kat's vehicle sped into a tree off to the side of the road. Kat died from her injuries. But imagine Kat had been guiding a driverless car. When Kat fell asleep, the car would have sensed itself going off course and would have corrected its path or woken up Kat. The advantages of a driverless car would apply to more than just Kat's situation. Driverless cars would be a luxury for drivers all around the world due to their advanced safety features, automatic transportation, and convenience to the driver.
The impact that driverless cars could eventually have is exponential. The article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" has many good points on to what they could do for the world in the future. At one point the article reads, "...how much smarter did the cars have to be? For starters, they needed a whole lot of sensors. The advancement of the sensors used would help to stop many of the car crash deaths in the United States and beyond. The automatic driving feature would give the driver so much time for other things. You could read a book on your way to work, or play a game with the kids while on a roadtrip.
Some say that a driverless car is much too dangerous, and that a machine can never be better than a human. They believe that humans will always be needed to drive cars. This is understandable as a computer driving a car is a foriegn concept. However, they would be wrong in their assumption.
The "Smart Cars" being developed today are not more efficient than a human, however, this will most likely not be the case for long. With the current rate of technological development, We will have cars that can drive themselves without human assistance within the next 30 years. The next generation might be used to only learning the very basics of driving, as they might not need that skill.
With all the good that driverless cars could do for the world, it's a wonder anyone questions their value. The potential for safety and convenience is much to high to pass up on. Driverless cars are the future of our roads. Very soon, driverless cars will be sold at car dealerships and open to the public. | 4 |
70e51aa | Driverless cars are the future of transportation and should continue to be developed. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author offers several positive aspects of driverless cars.
Driverless cars allow the driver to bring in-car entertainment that use the heads-up display. This display dissappeares when the driver is need, making it a safety feature (Paragraph 8). This feature along with other technology keep the vehicle safe. The driverless cars use high-tech equipment such as sensors, cameras, a gps receiver, and lasers to allow safety for the passengers inside while the car drives itself. Some driverless cars can drive up to 90 percent of the time on their own, only needing the driver to take control in heavy traffic and heavy construction. Cars will be able to drive themselves at a higher percent of the time as technology advances. Several automotive companies, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that fully drive themselves by the year 2020 (paragraph 10). These driverless cars would use half the fuel of todays cars and offer far more flexibility for public transportation than a bus.
Due to these reasons one can determine that driverless cars are the future of transportation and should continue to be developed and researched by automotive companies. These driverless cars would fundamentally change the world. | 2 |
70e622a | Looking at driverless cars may seem a bit odd. What is a car that you don't even really have to drive? That's not a car! Although, I am claiming to be on both sides of this situation, it may be that I would never purchase this type of car. SInce these cars have the name of driverless cars, people may not take these seriously. It does state in the article that the car does alert the driver of some things. But if you really look into it, what happens if the car glitches and doesn't alert the driver? What then? This problem may cause an accident and prohibit the driver of a bigger chance of harm.
Driverless cars may seem fun, which I have never actually been in one nor seen one, but not having to drive seems pretty relaxing, even though you hold the wheel. It may also has the downs. Let's say that somone is on their way to the hospital rushing for a loved one who is terribly hurt. How does the driverless car react? There's a whole bunch of questions, but the actual question is, is it safe for everyone to handle and drive?
All of my questions or your questions may not be answered just yet, but having one of these may be expensive. For an example, as much as gas is, or parts to your normal car are, or even the inside areas, how much will it cost to fix the sensors or even if the driverless car has gas? These things may be a lot harder to pay for since it's all practically technology. I do not recomend these types of cars to anyone simply for my opinion. | 2 |
70ec8b3 | The Seagoing Program provides many sights and fun times. Luke Bomberger enjoyed the trip very much. Reasons and details of what will be happening on the trip will be in the next couple paragraphs.
What many people may be thinking is there are no reasons. A reason to come is you can see very many exciting sights. Also its a one in a lifetime thing. If you are a sports fan then this is a thing fro you. They play baseball and voleyball.
Now its not done yet because someone out there is probably wondering what kinds of sights. A very facinating sight is the Pacific Ocean. Thats right when entering the Seagoing Program a sight you get to see is the Pacific Ocean. You also cross the Adlantic Ocean.
People are probably just wanting to know a little bit about the program. It is a very long program but it is enjoyable. There are also animals on the ship and if you are chosen to night wachman you have to check on the animals every hour. If its someone that likes animals then that person might enjoy the job.
The Seagoing Program is worth taking part is even if it is a long time. Now that people know a bit more about it more people may take part in it. There are reasons. There are also facts and details about it. | 2 |
7103cd4 | "I'm tired i dont want to drive home!" what if you didnt need to drive home? You might not need to drive your car anymore. Car companies are making cars smarter and cars would be able to drive themselves. Driverless cars are effiecent because the driver doesnt need to drive all the time, there would be less accidents.
Drives won't need to drive all the time now. There are some people who just dont know how to drive and are better off not driving. In the article it said " The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over." This shows that drivers would still need to drive the car but not all the time. Sometimes drivers need to get somewhere but dont go because they dont want to drive. They won't have to becuase they might drive for a little bit or maybe nothing at all.
There would be less accients if cars can be driven themselves. In the article it said " their cars have been driven more than half a million miles without a crash."
This shows that their cars so far have not gotten into an accient for a while. People who have cars tnd to crash many times because some drivers are just not careful. The roads would be more calm and safe. It is just better for everyone.
Car companies should make driverless are becuase people wont need to drive all the time espicially when thehy go somewhere far, and there would be less car accidents which also include less deaths. No one wants to be involved in an accident. I believe driverless cars would be neccessary and they should have them. Many people would like to have a car they dont need to drive. | 3 |
71077d8 | It was may 24,2001 I was working at NASA driving the viking 1 spacecraft over mars when all of a suden I see a face on the planet, was so shocked i couldnt believe it so i snaped 123 pictures of it to see if it was real and every picture turnd out the same so i ran down the hall to get my friend and when he saw the picture he just as shocked as i was.
and after starring at the picture for 36 minutes he says ''ALIENS MADE IT'' and i said no well we dont know wat it was i believe it was just a natural landform he says no it was aliens so i say lets take another picture,so my team and i used our viking 1s absolute maximum resolution camra and so snaped 1 more photo of the face and sent it to our scientest and 2 weeks pass and the scientest say its an natrual landform coused by a lava dome that bursted and caused the rockes to form a human like face and there was no alien like monument anywhere | 2 |
7108253 | I would say that the Facial Action Coding System is a big jump. Humans have several emotions! There isn't just happy, sad, angry, surprised, fearful; there's tons more. Confusion, shocked, discrete, mesmerized, broken, depressed. Depression is a far leap from sad. Confusion is something most people commonly have. What if this computer doesn't have all of the emotions. Half of the emoji's you see on IPhones and Androids are the feelings we have, that's why we use them so frequently. I would believe that reading emotions could turn out to be a magnificent thing, but in other ways I feel it could make things worse. I would definitely agree with the "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. What would our teachers do then? There would be no reason to have a job as a teacher if a computer is teaching the students to learn their lessons. I do NOT agree with how our world is coming to be. There's too much technology around. Do you think children can handle times without phones? They'd be outside more, communicating more. Now we've got Facial Action Coding Systems around, to read someone's emotion! What if someone doesn't want their emotions seen, so many kids hide their emotions so that they don't have to talk about how they feel. I feel ashamed of the United States of America. I'm growing up in a cruel undeciteful world of criminals, thieves, politicians who believe they rule my life, laws that are unreasonable, tecnology that could in all reality mess up the world in more cases? I do not support the Facial Action Coding System. I believe that if this was true and around myself and others. I would never use a phone or computer again. There are ways for people to hack these things, can you imagine? If a computer is constantly watching you every second that it can to feel and help your emotions, could you think about who else might be watching? If you look at it in that point of you, this world is decieving and awful. What if you allow a computer to watch your emotions and then a few days later, you find out someone is watching you. A week later, you're laying on your kitchen flood with a gun shot wound, all because you let a computer read your emotions. "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements--in a real face or in the painted face Mona Lisa. I would believe that our world is unsafe, someone constantly watching you and your emotions, what a thing we've come up with. They should stop partaking in activities that could get someone seriously injured or killed for that matter. If you have a Facial Action Coding System, what will you do when you've got your laptop out and it's open because you're listening to that new ACDC song that just released and there's men staring at you get dressed because they hacked the system? They find out where you life, your profiles on facebook and snapchat, then what? They find where you live, who you're related to, friends, children, and you get raped or captured and kidnapped. I think these people need to realize that the cons of the Facial Action Coding System, outweigh the pros. | 3 |
710b137 | Have you ever heard of the Seagoing Cowboys program ? If you have not heard of this program you are missing out . The Seagoing Cowboys program helps with animals and people . I think you should sign up for this program if you can . It is fun , your helping while having a awesome time , and doing your part while being exited .
First of all I think you should sign up for this program because its alot of fun .Can you imagine traveling while helping others ? If you sign up for the Seagoing Cowboys program you get to see all types of sights . In the passage Luke got to go to New Orleans , and Greece which shows you that you get to travel to awesome , mouth dropping sights. The passage states that Luke says "
the cattle-boat trips were an unbelivable opportunity for a small-town boy " which shows that this is not a waste of time . So you have alot of fun , get to see amazing sights , and its not a waste of time so why not sign up .
Second of all do you see how much help and care your giving . In the passage Luke cared for animals during the crossing , he fed them , and cleaned after them . Luke also severed as a night watchman for the animals , which means he was being on gard for the animals . Him watching over the animals effected people by them not having to worry about the animals . Luke also made hourly reports to the captain , while he was doing this he was also having fun . So Luke helped alot while having fun , why not join today .
Third of all you are doing your part . Everyone has a part to play , and everyone has to help in something . Luke stayed up late to watch animals and gave reports to the captin , Luke made his mark on the world and he didnt expect anything back , but he did get something he got to see mind blowing sights , meet new people and animals , and the satisfaction of knowing that he helped . So there are three important things that will make you think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program , why would not you join .

Also you will be happy and exited , nothing close to boredum while your with the Seagoing Cowboys program . So go and join the Seagoing Cowboy program ! | 4 |
710f583 | Driverless cars should not be a thing. Yea, it would probably be cool to have a car that just drives you around instead of yourself but that would be you just being lazy. Why have a driverless car if it can only do 80% percent of the job, for example: in the article "Driverless Cars are Coming", it sais "google has had cars that can drive independently under SPECIFIC conditions since 2009. Google cars arent truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through road work or accidents.'' So whats really the point of having a driverless car? There isnt one. Maybe a couple facts about it, but most people should really look into it instead of just being ready to get one. even though it might be safe, 25% of it is not and it could probably cost you alot money. | 2 |
710f5d9 | What could come of harm from these driverless cars? There are two ways too look at this senaryo. On one side, yes, it would be cool to have a car that you do not even have to drive it hardly. On the other side, no, too much harm can come from these cars. I for one am totally against driverless cars for the following reasons: technology glittches a lot, the driver could fall asleep, there is a lot of road work, and something could happen and the car could reck.
Has anyone ever had a piece of technology that did not glitch? In paragraph nine, the author asks one of the most important questions a driver of these cars would want to know: "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" This is a very important question, but of course the manufactuer says, " Automkaers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved." But will they really is the question. What if by fixing one problem, that creates more problems. We as a whole have to start saying no to the advances in techology or everyone is going to be hurting.
In the passage that is provided, it states somewhere in there that the drivers have to stay alert because sometimes the car will need a driver, but if the driver accidently falls asleep and the alarm glitches then what will happen? That is one of the very big problems of these "driverless" cars. Start asking yourself questions. Will this car be safe? No, because they run of technology and its not like everything is perfect. Yes, maybe it would cut the rate of car crashes down from drunk drivers, but what if it doesn't?
My last reason of saying no is kind of adding onto my other two reaosns, but when there is a lot of road work, and there is, especially in the bigger cities, what is going to happen. BOOM, another car crash.
I have stated many different reasons on why these driverless cars are not a good idea, so it's now time for you to choose. Do you want to take the chance of the technology glitching, or you falling asleep, or maybe even falling asleep in a constructin zone? I don't think you do. | 4 |
71154c1 | The "Face of Mars" was not created by aliens. The "face" is a mesa, an elevated piece of land similar to a plateau. The mesa is about 2 miles long, and the face is created by the shadows from protruding rock. The features of this landform could have been created by aliens if they had the ability to carve a two mile long mesa to look like a face, not knowing what it looked like while they were carving it. Since they were on the ground they we we carving, they would have had to either cut into the rock blindly, or have a method to see what the face looked like. That method, be it mechanical or optical should still be visible. The aliens might not be humanoid, and might not know what a human face looked like. They wouldn't be able to cut out an image of something if they don't know what it looks like. Even if aliens could cut a face into the rock, there would be fragments of that rock lying all around the base of the landform. Most of the debris might be swept away over time, but there would still be some. If the carving was done by aliens, they would have to have some way to get on top of the mesa, and that might be visible. It could be stairs, or a ladder, or a rope, but it should be visible to the satellite pictures. If the aliens did cut the face into the mesa, then it they would have gone about it in a different way. Assuming that the aliens created the face is assuming that they are intelligent beings. Intelligent beings would most likely have created finer details or carved a symbol or word to show who created the face. If they are unintelligent beings, how did they get on top of the mesa and how did they cut out the face. | 3 |
7119d0f | I think the United States should keep the Elector College because it consists the selection of the electors and the electors of where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of electoral votes by Congress. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. Majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Based under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purposes of the Electoral College. You can help choose your state's electors when you vote for President, when you vote for your candidate you're actually voting for your candidate's electors.
The best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for pickng electors and could always defy the will of people. Perhaps the most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. At some type of level, the electoral college is unfair to some voters. If anyone has a good argument for putting the fate of the presidency in the hands of some swing voters in Ohio, they'll have to yet make it.
The electoral college is outdated, irrational, unfair, and its official. Best arguments in favor of mostly assertions without much basis in reality. The electoral college is regarded as an anachronism. Anachronism is a person or thing that seems to belong in the past and not to fit in the present. Advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not a democratic in a modern sense, its the electors who elect the president, not us (people).
There is pressure for run-off elections when there's no candidate that can win majority of the votes cast. No voters vote a nation election, also in that order about one-half the eligible American population did vote in 2012's election. The popular vote was in Florida. Other things being equal, a large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than some other small states do. Almost some of the voters are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, on a average type of level, and most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election.
There are five reasons for retainng the Electoral College, despite of it's lack of democratic pedigree. Pedigree is the origin and history of something, when it is good or impressive. The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have transregional appeal. Electoral College restores some weight in the political balance that some of the large states lose by virtue of mal-apportionment of the Senate. The Electoral College avoid problems of elections in which no candidate receives majority of the votes. Sometimes it can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a type of candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. Some voters in presidential elections are people that want to express a political preference rather then people who's thinking a single vote may decide on an election. | 2 |
71208a0 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. In our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun. Venus has the hottest surface temperature. Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life. There are more information that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
First, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds. It often referred to as Earth's twin. These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus. Venus is sometimes right around the corner.
Next, Venushas the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. Even though Mercury is closer to our sun. Beyond high pressure, heat, and Venusian geology. Weather present additional imprediments. Impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
Finally, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit. A crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel.
In conclusion, in our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun. Venus has the hottest surface temperature. Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life. The author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 3 |
7123d48 | Have you ever wanted to travel around the world and help people and animals at the same time? Well you can if you join the Seagoing Cowboys program. The Seagoing Cowboys program is an excellent program to join because of the experience, jobs you could do, and the cost.
Most people have a great time on this trip because they can visit many places and sight-see while they are helping others and animals near you. I have visited places like Greece and Italy. I got to ride a gondola in Venice and visit an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal when I was on my way to China. When we were dropping off animals, we had time to play games like baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling. One night, I was on the boat and I got the job of being a night watchman for the boat and the crew. Since the boat was full of animals, I had to check up on them every hour for the entire night.
To be in this program, there aren't many requirements to get accepted. The requirements are that you have to have a diploma from the high school you went to and you have to be devoted to helping animals and humans around you. You also have to show respect to the captain and our crew members and you must show good character toward many others.
Luckily, there isn't any cost to be included in this amazing program. I was working two part-time jobs which were a grocer and a banker before my friend, Don Reist, invited me to travel the world with him in a cattle boat. The boat I got boarded on was the SS Charles W. Wooster and we were heading to Greece and 335 horses and hay were on board. It was obviously an interesting and marvelous experience.
To sum up my thoughts, boarding the SS Charles W. Wooster and signing up for the Seagoing Cowboys program was the best decision I have ever made and it was the best thing that has happened to me in my entire life. With the experience, cost, and job options you have on the cargo ship, it is an excellent choice to make. I'd suggest that you sign up for the Seagoing Cowboys program in the future. | 3 |
71264f4 | In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" The author suggets that studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it presents. The author gives us a lot of information of Venus. Also, the author tells us why its so worhty. The first reason why its worhty to sutdy Venus would be because numerous of factors contribute that venus is a challenging planet for humans to study. The second reason is that in the article the author mentions that in "venus is sometimes around the corner -in space terms-humans have set numerous spacecraft to land on his cloud-drapped world" Lastly the author mentions that the NASA is compelling an idea to send humans to stufy in venus.
In the article when the author mentioned that it's a challenging planet to study would be because in our solar system venus is the second planet from our sun and Venus is actualy a planet. Venus is one of the brightest points in the night. Also another reason why venus is so hard to examine would be because it's occasionaly the closest to earth. Another challenging reason would be that Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet. Therefor these reason add up doesnt seem like a safe place for humans to study
The second reason why the author suggets that studying Venus is worthy would be because the author mentions that it's right around the corner in space terms each have been unnamed, and for that reason no spacecraft has survived the landing more then a few hours. That tells us how Bad the planet is now imagine sending a human. Despite of the things that has happend the author makes a conclusion that maybe thats why no spaceship has touched down on Venus in more of three decades. If you think about it if a spaceship hasn't touched down there now why would a human want to.
Lastly , the biggest detail that came from the article was that NASA is woking on other ways to study venus. The reason why it stood out the most was that if the author why lying about it being so worhty then I dont think NASA would waste time on this project. NASA has some simplified electornics made of silcon carbide and they have tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of the Venus and it has lasted while being in good conditions. The athor also mentioned that NASA has much more projects in order to be able to study Venus.
In conclussion after reading the artcle the author has given enough information on why the author belives that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The way the author described Venus would be that it isn't a happy or chill place to be at but the author did point out that it's very challenging and awarding planet to study. Not anyone can go to Venus it's not safe. So far NASA might be the first to be able to study Venus well and they'll be the first to feel that big accomplishment. | 3 |
7126e0c | Mona Lisa's facial expressions were "determined" by the Facial Action Coding System. It determined that she was "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angery" (D'Alto). This super high-tech machine can identify your emotions based on analyzing the muscles in your face. But is the technology really needed in classrooms?
The knowledge of emotional expressions to teachers can be very beneficial. Everyone knows that kids don't learn the same and keep up at the same pace. Teachers could use this for kids to know how comfortbale they are with the lesson. In the text it states, "'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'" (D'Alto). This shows that FACS can help students who don't understand the lesson, by looking at their facial expressions, and changing the lesson to fit them.
Others would argue that facial expressions for every person and emotion are different. As the author pointed out in the text, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal" (D'Alto), people will disbelieve because not every person shows the same emotion the same way. Some oppossers would argue that the addition of the system to education would drastically bring up the cost. Making schools more expensive and put schools at an advantage.
Although I agree with the fact that not every face makes the same expression,
FACS can identify the way the muscles move to indicate the emotion. In the text it states, "This 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" (D'Alto). This quote shows how the system works and to identify the muscle movement in your face. While, yes the cost of education will increase due to the addition of FACS, the benefits will outway the costs. Like any technological addition to schools, they use funds and sponsors to help pay for that stuff. Helping kids find a new way to learn and helping them succeed, seems a lot more important than costs.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System will help teachers and students world wide succeed. When teachers know how to fix their lessons based on how their students learn, it makes the job easier for them and they get to see their students grow. Although the FACS was able to identify Mona Lisa's facial expressions, they can be used for so much more in the real world. | 4 |
71272ff | You should join the Seagoing Cowboy. There is many reason why we should join the
Seagoing Cowboy. We may never have free time to go to other Places,but is fun. I'm going to tell you my reason. My opinion is that is kind of fun,but you may never visit your Family.
The first reason is You get to visit Places you never visit before. in the text,it said that Luke visited Places that He never visit before. don't you think that is awesome.
You can take Picture of were you been and show it to your Family. You can have fun while you are working.
The second reason is that You have freetime. on Paragraph 8-9 it Said that Luke and his Friends got to play Games. Who likes to play Games,all of us right! That shows that We don't just work,but We have fun. When We are tire all We want to do is rest and have fun. This is a fine Job.
and The last reason is that We get to see Horses And Bulls. if you are a Cowboy ,People see you as a Brave Person. You get to touch and feel a Bull. You get to feel the action you never felt before. being close to a Bull is something Incredible. It makes You look brave. People start to think good of you. We all like that people think good of us. being a Cowboy makes you a Brave Person.
so what Am I trying to say is that being a Cowboy is Awesome. You get to go to Places you never been Before,You have freetime,and you are a Brave Person That Gets to touch and feel a Bull. You Have all that in Seegoing Cowboy. try being a Cowboy,You will know how fun it is. it is not bad to try. try it. | 2 |
7132e94 | This article talks about when and how going to venus and exploring it will happen, it might be these days or way into the future.
The author talks about how going to Venus will be very hard but not impossible, and that maybe a long time ago Venus could've been a place to live in because it has almost the same size, density, and distance to the Sun as Earth.
NASA has even had missions to go to Venus, but the author says because of it's thick cloud of carbon dioxide (97 percent) spacecrafts are not able to make an apropriate landing on Venus, that is also a reason why humans have not been sent to Venus for it's dangerous high pressure and sulfuric acid clouds. The article also states that like Earth, Venus also causes many natural disasters and weather storms like "eruptung volcanoes, powerful earthhquakes, and frequent lightning strikes."
Scientist are still trying to find ways to go to Venus but not into Venus because it is very hard and dangerous. NASA can make ships capable of hovering over Venus so they can take pictures of Venus inside it's atmosphere, but also because of the thick cloud no light is strong enough to go through the clouds and to do this spacecrafts need to be able to resist the outside atmosphere temperatures of 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
In conclusion, traveling to Venus and studying it is a difficult mission but not impossible, the author says that "Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." The author fully supports his idea by what the article talks about and the dangers humans will confront. | 2 |
7136a44 | Everybody wants privacy. Sometimes it is a good thing to leave a person alone, whether he or she is feeling sad, happy or angry. Using this Facial Action Coding System to read the emotional expressions of students is not valuable.
There might come a time when a person is sad because he or she has lost a loved one. That person probably would not want anyone knowing how he or she is feeling at the moment. If a computer is used to understand his or her emotions, it could cause that person to be more upset or sad. The computer could acknowledge emotional expressions, but it still has yet to learn how to respond in a situation where that person needs help. In paragraph six, the author states that a computer can know whether you're feeling happy or sad, confused or bored. In school, when a student needs help, the person can just raise his or her hand to get help from the teacher. A computer will most likely use complicated words to modify the lesson.
The problem is the new technology can read emotions, but it cannot really understand the person as much as a human being can. On most of the paragraphs in this article, paragraph eight for example, the author describes about how the computer looks at facial expression to understand someone's emotion. In school, there are shy kids who are afraid to ask for help. Normally, those shy kids are smart students who get good grades. It is true that one cannot just assume all shy kids are smart. But in this case, it is more likely that a shy student will ask help from a teacher, who can understand him or her a little bit better, than a computer that can just read facial expressions.
This technology could also end friendships or relationships. In paragraph seven and eight, the author mentioned that the computer can recognize the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one. This would mean that there is no way to hide your emotions. For example, two friends get in an argument because one person was jealous of the other one. In most cases, that jealous person could have hidden his or her emotions, but with the new technology, the other person will know. Sometimes, it is a good thing to be able to hide emotions and feelings from other people.
Using technology that can read students' emotional expressions is not a good idea. For one, it is most likely a computer will not do a better job at teaching students than a human teacher. Also, computer cannot show empathy to someone who is going through a tough time. Last but not least, this technology programmed to be helpful could unintentionally end friendships or relationships. Computers may be useful in many cases, but they can never really do as much as humans. | 4 |
713df60 | My postition on driverless cars is that i am totally not for the idea of it. . In the article it did say that theere are some difficulties.
Although there will need to be a driver still behind the wheel at all times the car will still drive itself most of the time, only needing assistance during road construction or traffic blocks, things in that catagory. Knowing in today's society people will not be paying attention when it comes to this, they'll most likey be payin more attention to their electronic devices.
The furture is all about having new technology and basically making everyones lifes easier cause everyone is getting extremely lazy. Like Hoverboards or driverless cars this is not okay. The movie Wall-ee for exaple everyone gets so caught up in technology and being lazy that they loose sight of what is actually important. Whose to say that these cars won't malfunction and possibly kill the driver and maybe everybody else inside the vechicle. Whose to say that these cars won't cause more death since teens will think they won't have to worry about driving and have their eyes and hands glued to their phones. Whose to say that these cars won't speed up the process of global warming?
People today think that technology is more important than family, playing outside, communicating with people face to face, or even saying hello to a complete stranger. Everyone is addicted to eletronics, they want what's new and more advanced. They want technology to be their first priority. So far in 2016 we have hoverboards that malfunction, cause fire, injure people in crital ways, and are on recall, whose to day these driverless cars will be any different.
In my opinion i belive they just want to make life easier but they're turning people less human. They think technology is more important when it's actaully killing the earth.
There are so many cars that are being recalled for not installing something or just not safe proofing it first. What will make these "driverless cars" any different? In the article it tells how they still need assistance at work sites and traffic jams, braking or backing out of driveways but what if the driver thinks they don't need to do anything and they don't brake and crash? Will they fix the cars to have automatic breaking. Pretty much every car brand wants to make driverless cars, depending on which one you choose will they all be similar and safe to drive? Will fraffic be easier and safer if drivers aren't driving? Will drunk drivers not cause deaths to themselves or pedestrians? Will texting or car karoke not become a life and death situation between the driverless cars and the not needed drivers?
In conclusion they should not make driverless cars, if cars today aren't that safe whose is to say that these cars will be safer? Nobody can know the furture to nobody knows if good or bad is to come from these cars. Will the owner of the vehicile or the manufactorer have to pay or take responsiblity if there is an accident? Will they both have to pay ? Would you let your technology addicted teenager drive this vechicle? This is just another way to get people to be even lazier and pay more attention to their technology, and who knows if it'll cause more injuries or deaths like the new hoverboards. | 4 |
713dfda | Man kind has always invisioned a magical future. A future that includes time travel, flying, and driverless cars. The basis for a plethora of T.V. shows and movies has been based on these very ideas. What if one idea of this imagined future was closer than thought possible? Driverless cars are no longer an idea for the future. Driverless cars have become an idea of the present. In paragraph 2, it states that since 2009, Google has had cars developed that can drive themselves under certain conditions. Driverless cars may face some difficulties, but the pros do outway the cons. I believe that driverless cars should be made because they allow safe multitasking for the driver, give safer conditions while driving, and set the bar higher for future technological goals.
The cars deemed as the future allow endless possiblities for productiveness with the driver. The self driving cars let the driver catch up on paperwork, or let them make an important call. The cars could also just be nice for a relaxation time. This wouldn't be considered a safety hazard because manufacturers working on this driverless car are involving notifications for when the driver is needed. Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW project manager, states how they would deal with difficulties involving this in paragraph 8. BMW is working on making driving interesting, so that the driver wouldn't just get bored as the car drives itself. Some manufacturers are working on bringing in display boards or some type of information system to make it interesting. But when the driver is needed in tough conditions, the displays are turned off and the driver is notified when needed. Every concern is listed with a solution in paragraph 8.
The car overall becomes safer, rather than just the action of multitasking. With regular cars, the driver has to keep eye for danger themselves. With the driverless car, it is involved that the car informs the driver when they are needed or if a rough situation is ahead. The driver would be notified by some type of sensor. The sensors have been around since as early as the 1980s, as stated by paragraph 5. The sensors in the car can cause brakes to be applied and can reduce power from the engine. The car would have a greater response and greater control than a human driver ever could. Paragraph 5 tells about the sensors and tells about how improvements for sensors are still underway to this day. In paragraph 7, it states that a driver can take control also, and will be needed in tough situations. Drivers can still have a sense of control over their car.
Driverless cars also inspire others to shoot for high goals in the technological field. Every technological advance has been inspired by some other tehcnological discovery. Just recently, a new fad had come along called hover boards. But these hover boards weren't the ones seen in the Back to the Future franchise, these hoverboards were inspired by them, but didn't exactly hover. Still, the creators of this type of hover board were inspired from a different technological idea. Great strides in technology or ideas for technology make us want to move further. In paragraph 6, Sebastian Thrun, the founder of the Google car project, stated, "There was no way, before 2000, to make something interesting. The sensors weren't there, the computers weren't there, and the mapping wasn't there. Radar was a device on a hilltop that cost two hundred million dollars. It wasn't something you could buy at Radio Shack." His basic idea, was that as time went on and technology got intensely better, so did the technological ideas. These self driving cars could inspire even more magnificent ideas for the future.
In conclusion, these cars not only let the driver mutlitask safely, they just in general make driving safer. These cars could inspire the greatest invention in history. Technology is based off of other technology. The pros for self driving cars outway the cons for a plethora of reasons. Driverless cars are closer than one thinks, and are safer than one thinks. In paragraph 10, it states that Tesla has a release date for 2016 for the driverless car and Nissan plans to have cars that are driverless by 2020. Driverless cars are the now and they are worth it. | 5 |
7144371 | Automobiles have been all anyone talks about since the 1950s. With the creation of the Model T, songs that were sung of cars like "Mustang Sally", and providing transportation to millions across the globe, how could they not be controversial?. But shortly after 2005, driving has not been the peak of transportation. Many countries are banning the use of motorvehicles for multiple reasons and it may not be such a bad thing.
Recently, countries have been asking their residents to either take a day or two off from driving or give up their cars overall. In Vauban, Germany, 70 percent of the families do not own a car but rather they walk or bike everywhere. Residents say they do not feel stressed out so often and are no longer tense as they were when having a car. In Bogota, the people feel the same way. The Colombian city has had a "Day Without Cars" event for three years and most people really enjoy the relaxation you get from not driving a car everywhere you go. More and more countries and cities are implementing this idea.
One of the major priorities right now is air pollution from gas emissions and that is why countries are slowing down motorvehicle usage. In Paris 147 micrograms of particulate matter were found, 114 in Brussels and almost 80 micrograms in London. Most of that is because of driving. With diesel fuel ranking over gasoline, we are not getting anywhere. Countries in Europe and South America have put in fines and days that people are not allowed to drive because of how bad the smog is getting in some of the areas.
The next thing countries are trying to do is increase the number of alternative transportations. How long has it been since you rode a bike? Or walked to the nearest grocery store? With the decreasing amount of people using their cars, the amount of people riding their bike or going for a walk is exploding upwards. Since the 1990s, Bogota has constructed 118 miles worth of bike paths. Sidewalks were made to a higher quality, the parks attendance rates have rapidly increased and the shopping centers are shaped up very nicely now. All because of a few days without driving.
It may seem like a burden or even a bad idea in general but if we cut down the number of motorvehicles, we can save a lot of the beautiful parts of in world and install some new ones while we're at it. The fuel is hurting the enviroment and everyone should help out. | 4 |
7146020 | What would you think if a computer could read your emotions? The Facial Action Coding System is supposed to be on your computer and read your emotions. Professors at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Illinois are trying to work with the system to help their students. If you would use this system in a classroom it would be effective because it could recognize when you have mixed feeling about something or someone, when you are confused about something in class, and when you have empathy for someone else.
The system could help in class when someone has mixed emotions about someone or something. The article stated,"'even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression.'" In class, kids show different emotions all the time. The system would help when they were confused about a subject.
If a student is confused about a subject, then they won't be productive in class. The article also stated that "'the facial expressions for each emotion are universal.'" Every human has several different emotions, but one emotion could represent more than one. The students could have mixed emotions about it. The system could help figure out how the student is feeling about something. The system not only helps with the mixed emotions aspect, but also the part where you don't quite understand something.
Students in classes will get confused or bored while in class. This use of technology will be valuable by realizing it and wanting to help. Dr. Huang predicted that "'a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored.'"This system on the computer could help teachers and students realize when you aren't quite understanding a topic. The computer could then have a modified version of the lesson for the student to help get them to understand. Dr. Huang said,"' Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'" The computer could help fill in as a teacher to help the confused student. If the student is taking a class online, then the computer could realize the emotion of the student and help out. This use of technology is not only going to be valuable for when the student doesn't understand something, but also when a person shows empathy.
Most people show empathy towards one another, and this technology could help show when someone is showing empathy. The article stated that " you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." When your friend shows how they feel, you can be effected by it too. The system could help realize if you are not your usual self because you may have empathy for someone else. your emotions could get you distacted from your school work, and then you might struggle in that class. The article aslo stated that " faces don't lie: these muslce clues are sometimes used to spot when a 'smiling' politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." The computer will be able to tell when you have a false emotion on your face. If you aren't being honest with your emotions, then the emotions the computer realizes could effect how you work in class.
Having a system to help read when you have mixed emotions, are confused, or have empathy is why the Facial Action Coding System can help students in the classroom. The way student feel and act can effect the way students do in their school work. The Facial Action Coding System would be valuable for students in school. | 5 |
7148891 | The author of "The Challenges of Exploring Venus" did not support this idea well. I know this because not only did they wait until the sixth paragraph to use the word challenges to replace the word risks, but they also waited until the very end of the article to explain their reasoning. Even when explain why they feel that exploring Venus is worth it the writing feels rushed. The article's overall tone just doesn't sit well. The message is supposed to be postitive, but the author spends so much time on how other people feel about exploring Venus and how other people fear the risks you start to agree with the oposition instead of the author.
This author did not support this idea well. and i know this because in the passage it states so many challenges but only a few soltions. For example, the author mentions "clouds of highly corrosive sulfirc acid in Venus's atmosphere", but we are given no solution to this proble to allow humans to explore the surface. this author also spells "liquify" as "liquefy" and I do not believe this is correct, and if this author cannot spell a simple word how can i trust their facts are true.
In conclusion this article feels rushed and too pessimistic. The author either did not put in much time to write this passage, or they just don't agree with what they are writing about, or perhaps they just did not care. No matter what the reason this article did NOT support the idea it was about well. | 3 |
7148bb6 | When you think about a presidential election you think about getting the chance to make a difference in the country and make a big descison that may affect your life as well as everyone in the country. The electoral college should be abolish and mad to where the elections are fair. It should be change because it doesn't allow people to vote for the candidate that is running for president. The electoral college not only allows people to take away a popluar votebut they can also give to whomever they choose to give it to. But it can cause a very big problem just like it did in 1960 when the segregationist tried to get new electors who would oppose Jonh F. Kennedy.
Because of the winner take all system these candidates don't even go and vist some states beacuse they know they wouldn't have a chance of winning. This can also lead to some states not having the chance to ever see or meet the candidate just like in 2000 campaign seventeen states didn't have a chance of seeing the candidates at all. If you wanted to vote for a candidate you wouldn't have a chance to vote because you would have to vote for electors pledged to that candidate. Most of everyone in the counrty would have to vote whomever the electors are who are pledged to that canddidate which isn't fair. So the electoral college should be changed to where everyone can vote for any candidate they want because it's not only fair but rational and agreeable. | 2 |
7148e04 | Im going to tell you if the facial action coding system is a good or bad idea. First the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an action unit. Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Eckman has classified six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles.
The facial expressions for each emotion are universal, observes Dr. Huang, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression (like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions (as in da Vincis masterpiece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion).
In fact, we humans perform this same impressive calculation every day. For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc.
Yet Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code.
The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do. 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. 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. The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery. Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication, notes Dr. Huang. So computers need to understand that, too.
In conclusion the technology to read peoples facial expressions is a great idea because the computer could help students out if they dont understand the work just by reading there faces. | 1 |
7148ecb | Dear, Senator
I think the president should be elected by popular vote not electors. Heres some reasons why i think the president should be voted by popular vote and not electors.
One reason is when you vote for your president your acually voting for the presidents elector. So basically your not voting fot a president your votng for a elector that votes for you. After the election the government prepares a "certificate of ascertainment" a certificate of ascertainment is a listing of all the candidates who ran for president along with the names of there electors. The certificate of ascertainment also declares the winning president and which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the elector in december of election year.
Another reason is more people would rather abolish electoral college. Electoral college is dumb because there was a gallup poll in 2000 taken shortly afte Al Gore. In the poll Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency because of the electoral college. (In the 2000 U.S. presidential race, Al Gore received more indiviual votes than George W. Bush nationwide, but Bush won the election, Bush received 271 electoral votes and Gore received 266.) Under the electoral college system voters vote not for the president but for slate electors. Who can be electors? It can be anyone not holding public office. Who picks the electors in the first place? It depends on the state, sometimes state conventions, sometimes state partys central committee, and sometimes the presidential candidates.
Last but not least 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. In 1960 segregationnists in the louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. In the same vein, "faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their partys candidate and cast a deciding vote for whoever they please. What happens if a state sends two slates of electors to congress? It happened in Hawaii in 1960. Luckily Vice President Richard Nixon, who was presiding over the senate, validated only his opponents electors. The 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 and The Senate would choose the vice-president. Each state only casts one vote that means the single representatives from Wyoming representing 500,000 voters would have as much say as California who represents 35 million voters. An electoral tie seems unlikely think of this: In 1968, a shift of just 41,971 votes would have deadlocked the election; In 1976 a tie would have occured if 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted diffrently. The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe.
What im trying to say is the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning. During 2000 campaign, seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all including Rhode island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didnt get to see a single campaigh ad. The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrartional. The best arguements in favor of it are mostly assertions. Bob Dole was right: Abolish the electoral college. | 4 |
714a2c3 | Dear Senator,
I think you should change to election by popular vote for the president on the United States because you can be certain of the outcome and you can avoid run off elections.
If you vote for something you want to be certain that it will win and someone won't change it to their liking. In the paragraph Certainty of Outcome it says "The reason is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exeeds his share of the popular vote". Which is like saying he people should have a voice in voting for their next president. Also it says "A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible-It happened in 2000". If their having problems with the Electoral College they should just take it out completly.
Who wants to have a run off election it just waistes time. In the paragraph Avoid Run-Off Elections it says "The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast". Thats like saying they woulden't even care is the candidate had no majority votes in the cast. Another example is "There is pressure for run off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast". Of course theirs pressure because they do anything right.
Thats why i thing they should change to election by popular vote for the president of the united states. | 2 |
7152619 | We live in an age of technology where one could not go a single minute without being influenced or even witnessing tech. Going off of that, technology is used more and more in the educational system, with classes using computers and i-pads for everyday acivities. The Facial Action Coding System would be a perfect addition to the educational sytem and could even make a huge impact on average people's everyday lives.
Technology in schools is a wonderful tool, offering millions if not billions of different sources and programs online with the click of a button. When used properly, students can grandly enhance their learning skills with the use of technology. However not every program, resource, or tool works for every single student, which is where the Facial Action Coding System would come in. Using this device, teachers can potentially get feedback on whether student's are enjoying what they are doing, what one could do to make a student's learning experience better, and with this device a teacher could even tell if their class is confused or bored. Since emotional expression are so important in a classroom, a teacher could potentially even modify the lesson plan based off of the overall moof of the class.
This invention is groundbreaking on it's own, and bringing it into the educational system with it's proper use and encorporation, could be of tremendous help to the United States educational system. | 3 |
715a7f6 | I think he will want others to try the Seagoing Cowboys program to maybe experience life more. I will want others to attend the program because I want some of you to see more unique places. I think others will like to go and take care of some of the animals and see more nice places. i will like other to help people of other countries and their needs.
I turned 18 before arriving in Greece, which meant i could be drafted for military service. I arrived August 14 the day the Pacific war ended. I also found time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for me.
I think others should just do thing you never did before. Some people like to take care of animals, people, and have jobs to do. I think it was nice i got to do things for people i got a change to see more things and places and i got to have fun with the other cowboys. I think other should try band learn more things and help others. | 2 |
715c69d | The Face on Mars The Landform
Do you belive the Face on Mars is made by aliens? The Face on Mars is a landmass on planet Cydonia or Mars. I beleive that the face is just a natural land form.
The face was found around the 1990s by a ship named the Viking 1 in shearch for a possible landing sites for its sister ship the Viking 2. The face is about 2miles from end to end. A few days after scientists figured it was another Martian mesa NASA reveiled the photos to try to atract public atentin to Mars.
People got the wrong idea about the face they thought that the face was a "bona fide" evidence of life on Mars. the face was everywhere it appeared in a Hollywood film, in books, magazines, radio talk shows,and even haunted grocery stores. In September 1997 the Chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program sent a [MGS] Mars Global Surveyor to take a pictuer of the face.
As I said befor I belive the face is just a landform on Mars. the mesa or butte forms on Earth to but Mars' land formations are larger that of Earth's in conclusen i hope this essay helped you see that the face is probaly just a landmark. | 2 |
7162eb1 | Have you ever read the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus"?
The author does a good job supporting the idea the studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents in the article.
In paragraph four, the author states that, " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." (par. 4) the author then explains that the planet was probably covere in Earth-like features such as oceans. This could give us insight on what happened to Venus to change it into the toxic and empty wasteland that it has become and how something similar could happen on Earth, if we choose to explore the planet.
throughout paragraphs five through seven, the author explains methods and tools we could use to better study the planet. the author mentions NASA's idea for sending humans to study the surface of the planet. ' A blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." (par. 5) and the use of mechanical computers in paragraph seven, "Simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested i a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." (par. 7) " Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers." (par. 7) Mechanical computers use gears and levers to make calculations instead of using electronics, maiking them more resistant th the pressure, heat and other forces of Venus's Surface
In the concluding paragraph, the author gives a couple of reasons and benefits of studying Venus, " Striving to meet the challenge presented by Benus has balue, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also becuase human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." (par. 8) this means that we can not only learn about Venus itself but also prepare us for the problems that may be presented by either other planets, or even our own in the future.
In conclusion, the author does a good job supporting the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The author does a good job because the give reasons to study the planet, examples on how we can study the planet, and an explanation on why astronomers want to study Venus. | 4 |
716b03a | I think that the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students is real. I say this because if you look into the computer and have a emotion on your face it will tell you what facial expression you are showing. For example if your looking mean then the computer will think that your angry at this moment. Just how people can look at you and tell how your feeling the new technology can do it to. If the new technology did not work to descibe people's expression then the computer would not do anything, computers are a smart technology and can do lots of things.
It is a good idea to read the emotional expressions of students because computers know how your feeling once you look into it. To figure out how your feeling the computer will take a 3-d picture model of your face. The new technology could only tell six emotions which are happiness,surprise,anger,disgust,fear,and sadness.
The expressions people make are very universal. The new technology cannot describe how your feeling if your not showing no emotion. If you smile while ads come on the computer while assume that your demonstrating the mona lisa facial expression because your smiling and thats what they or she wanted you to do. They wanted to bring a smile on your face.
Last but not least i think that the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students is real. I say this because if you look into the computer and have a emotion on your face it will tell you what facial expression you are showing. For example if your looking mean the computer will think that your angry at this moment. Just how people can look at you and tell how your feeling the new technolgy can do it to. If the new technology did not work to descibe people's expression then the computer would not do anything, computers are a smart technology and can do anything. | 3 |
716b5df | The author evaluated their ideas about visiting Venus well in their essay, however, they did have some aspects that could be improved upon. Their introduction lacked a strong thesis which can have a negative impact on the rest of the essay if their claims aren't strongly proven. Despite their weak thesis, their claims made later in the essay were strongly proven. Not only did the author give basic background knowledge of venus and two main reasons as to why studying venus could benefit the human race, but they also gave a solution to the dangers that came with exploring the planets..
In the introduction paragraph, the author didn't give a strong thesis to state their clame. When making a thesis you want to include what claims you will be covering in the essay and what you are trying to prove. The only claim the author gave was in the last sentence of the paragraph where they stated," It has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely." They didn't give specifics as to what claims they will make to prove that Venus should be examined and their vocabulary seemed limited when they used the word "very."
Throughout the second and third paragraphs of the essay, the writer gave background knowledge of Venus compared to Earth. This was a good decision because they later used some of the facts that were stated to strengthen their reasoning as to why Venus should be visited and examined. They stated how hard it was to examine Venus and how dangerous the planet was for life. The planet would not be able to sustain human life due to it's harsh terrain and harsh weather. One of the reasons scientists are studying Venus is because they believed that Venus looked like what modern-day Earth does at one point. The writer bringing up how unhabitable Venus is strengthens their argument on why we need to study Venus and their belief that because this happened to Venus, then it could potentially happen to Earth.
Writing about how Venus used to be like Earth and why that's important is a strong point to support the writers claim. When writing a persuasive or argumentative essay, including how what the author is writing about can benefit the reader is a way to persuade the reader to agree with the author. In the essay, the writer talks about two different ways that learning about Venus can benefit the human race. The first reason has to do with benefiting the way that humans are able to survive on Earth. Finding out what changed Venus to become inhabitable can stop the potential for the same to happen to Earth. The next reason they argued, in paragraph 4, was that if something happens to Earth, Venus is in close proximity. One day, the Earth's surface may become dangerous for human life and humans must flee to the nearest planet to survive. The author believes that finding out the exact conditions of Venus and finding a way to sustain human life on the planet would greatly benefit the human races future.
Lastly, the writer gives a solution to the most important problem stated in the essay, that it would be difficult for humans to live on Venus or even visit it. Throughout the fifth and sixth paragraph, the author talks about how research has already been done to find ways for humans to live on Earth. They even provide ideas of the their own for how humans can live on Venus. Pointing out problems with your ideas but then solving them is a strong way to argue your point because it eliminates the question of "will it fail?" and might answer some questions that readers have when reading the essay.
Overall, the author argues their points well. The structure of their essay has some aspects that can and should be changed, such as the introduction paragraph. The author showed why their claim was important to the reader and answered the "how will it be done?" part of their claim. Answering the "how will it be done?" part of the claim can eliminate doubt among the reader and strengthen the argument that the writer is trying to get across to the reader. | 6 |
716b63f | The face on mars has cause a lot of speculation in the past about it's origins and how it got there but many NASA scientists think it's just a Mesa or Buttle common earth landforms that are similar in construction as the face.
"Some people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on mars, evidence NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancheint civilization on mars." If the facereally was made by aliens and NASA had discovered life other than our own, it would be hugely beneficial to them to tell the world. There would be people with lots of money wanting to see what NASA could find out about the face, and the people who made it.
" Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the first image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing. . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all."
NASA scientist say that the face is a natural landform, or the Mars equivalent to the Earthly landforms. Such asthe Mesa or Buttle and JIm Garvin, NASA's Mars Exploration Program says that " As a rule of thumb, you can discetn things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size," he added "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!".
Garvin also said " It reminds me most of Middle Buttle in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, Thats a lava dome that takes the form of and isolated mesa about the same height of the Face on Mars."
NASA scientists, through hard work and amazing photography have proven the Face on Mars mystery and written the final chapter to a truly interesting moment in NASA'S space exploration history. | 3 |
716bea4 | Since 2009, Google has beent attempting to develop driverless cars, but is that something that is needed in everyday life? The use of driverless cars will lead to a lesser development of the mind and body, chronic laziness, and could put people in grave danger.
The mind is something that needs to be excersized in order to excel. With the use of driverless cars, the mind will not be able to advance. Being able to drive will allow the driver's mind to grasp its surroundings, but also to gather information quickly. The mind would not be the only part of the driver to be ridden its abilities, the eyes would be too. Eyes are also an essential factor when it comes to driving because they need to be put to use, and if not, they have a chance of not developing properly.
The use of driverless cars will also lead to laziness in the mere future. Learning how to drive is a key factor to everday tasks, if taken away, it is one less action that technology will rid people of. The driver's attention will grow to become deprived too, if they do not need to solely focus on the road and their surroundings. With these cars, they need to be able to focus, in case a problem occurs (Paragraph 8).
Driverless cars could provide people with the time they need to relax and just enjoy the ride, but overall would not be beneficial because it could put them in grave danger. The driverless car is not able to indicate if the driver is awake or not, it is just able to feel the drivers hands on the wheel (Paragraph 7). The driver could fall asleep at the wheel and the car would continue to drive. Also, if people do not know how to drive without the driverless functions, and are out driving when their car breaks down, they could be stuck in a serious emergency.
Although driverless cars seem like a great reality, they are still harmful and flawed. The use of our main functions have a high chance of deminishing if they cannot be used, there will be no to have true motive, and people could be put in harmful situations. Is the progression of driverless cars something that is crucial to living as people are seeking it to be? | 4 |
7173c41 | This article is about a messa/butte on the planet of Mars, that looks exactly like the face of an Egyptian Pharoh. It contains positives and negatives to both sides. People who believe that there are actually people living on the planet, and those who say it is just a landform.
First, the people who say that there is really a civilization, were probably sitting in the sun to long. They also may not believe in the Bible. It says that God came once to die for all mankind. If that's not true than wouldn't he have to go to every single planet to die for those people too? It really just doesn't add up! Second, the people that say that it is really only a natural landform are probably more acurate. While the Face does on fact look like someone built it doesn't mean that there are people living there. The Bible does mention aliens, but not of that sort. It refers to them as people who have denied God and gone their own ways. Third, the article states that the Face has "become a pop icon". How can this really be true? They don't know if it is a planet that has martians living on it or not! People are saying that NASA is hiding what they know about it and that defenders of NASA's budget, wish that there was an ancient civilization living on Mars.
In conclusion, I believe that earth is the only place where life can exist. We would die if we lived on Mars! God made the universe special, but made earth the most special. As a Christian, I believe that God has created me and everyone else on earth for His glory. There are just to many questions we could ask. For example, If there is life on Mars, of any kind, why haven't they contacted us? Are there people not intelligent enough to think of a way to reach us? Wouldn't they send their ships out after ours when they saw ours? If you look at it really close you can see that it doesn't add up at all. | 3 |
717fb16 | In this article, "Unmasking the Face on Mars". Many people believe that this imprint of a human beings' face was sculpted by aliens. In this essay, I will provide many reasons why this imprint was just a natural landform that looked identical to a human face.
Scientist have discovered that this "Face" on Mars was just a natural landform. Many people are trying to say that the face was created by aliens. There are many ways that we could prove that aliens DID NOT create this fasinating landform. From far away, this imprint looks exactly like a human face. If you focuse hard enough on this sculpture, you could indentify its eyes, mouth, nose and head shape.
One of the many reasons that this artifact was not created by aliens is because, provided in the article, back on April 5th, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. Scientist studied the artifact from afar, yet, they were still able to see the face. One of the scientist, Michael Malin, and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team took pictures of this marvelous sculpture. As Michael looked closer into each picture, he discovered that the creation was not carved that way in any sort. He discovered that the artifact was just a landform that began to age that way.
Another way to prove this artifact was not created by aliens is, there was no one there at the planet Mars. Scientist looked all over the planet, circled it for a long period of time. There was no foot prints, or any marks on this planet. Many believed that no matter how hard they searched, the solution would come out possitive. No one came and created this impressive land.
In the passage it says on April 8, 2001--a cloudless summer day in Cydonia, Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. They had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view. Each pixel spanned about 1.56 meters in 2001. The best Viking photo in 1976 was measured out to be 43 meters per pixel. This is when they knew for a fact that this landform was not something anyone else was able to make. This was all just a huge coincedense that there was a face imprinited on our called, "Red Planet".
This is why we should believe that "the Face" was just a natural landform. All facts has proven, that this creation was just part of Mars. There was no clear explaination that an alien would come and create this. If aliens tend to exist, there's no possible way they would know the facial structures of a human face. | 4 |
71845df | Is this a break in on personal space? That was my first concern when learning about this technology to be used in a classroom setting. I think that there is a good side to this technology, but also a creepy side to this. I do not personally believe that it is a good system to be used in classrooms for a couple reasons, and this is why.
I believe that not everyone wants to have a computer in their classroom reading and analyzing their face. I think that not everyone wants to truly show their emotions and have a computer put them out for other people to see. Some students struggle with alot of things in life and they have the right to keep that to themselves if they want. If someone is going through some struggles, having a computer read their emotions and then portray them to somone else will just make the other person want to help. Sometimes more attention is not what people need, they might just need some time or space. This also leads to it being a break in on personal space. I think it is creepy to have a computer looking into your emotions on a regular day in class. I definitly believe that my fellow peers would also find it a creepy technology and would also not want it. I also belive that it is a waste of money due to the high cost it would probably require. This technology seems prett expensive due to how advanced it is and I believe that the money could be spent on other usefull things. I do think it is important to make learning more indiviualized, so kids are not just bored in class and do not actually learn. I believe that this should be done with better teachers who care about the students future, not just there to make their payroll. I do see a good side to this, but in a law enforcement appliation. They could use it whenever interogating someone to see if they are lying or keeping other parts of the story out.
Overall I truly do think that this is a cool technology, but I think that it is also somewhat a waste of time and there are bigger things to worry bout in the world. I do not believe that this is usefull in a classroom. Also all systems have their flaws and they did not say how accurate it is. This could be used to something good but I just do not see the application in a classroom. | 4 |
71846cc | I think we not should keep Electoral College. I thinks it not fair. Al Gore won the electoral votes and won the popular vote and still lost the presidency. Also, you are not evening voting for the persident you are voting for slate of electors to pick the president. It is not like you can, can control who the slate electors pick. It is also hard to understand and it can get confusing as well.
There is two different groups thay pick the president and vice-presidents. The people who pick the vice-president is The Senate. Each indivaule state only casts one vote. For example "The single representative from Wyoming, represent 500,000 voters, would have as much sayar the 55 representatives from California, who represents 35 million voters."- Bradford Plumer "The Indefensible Electoral College: Wht even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong." In Elcetoral College thy have a system were winner-take-all system in each state. "... Candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning..." -Bradfors Plumer.
"But each party slecets a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee(and that trust is rarely betrayed)..."- Richard A. Posnoer "In Defense of the Electoral Coolege: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing a President" When you read this and in pretheace it say the "and that trust is rarly betrayed" what do you think? Is it okay to say you will do something and then say "hey I am going to change my mind after people vote becaise they like what I said?" No it is nopt okay. If you say you are going to to do something and your state is counting on you, you need to keep you word and do what you said. Also, why is it the big states get more attention than the small states? Should an it be all the same?
It is also easier for the goverment. But I still think it need to be fair. I think it should be equal. "Each candidates running for President in your state has hi ot her own group of elecotors."- The Office of the Ferderal Register " What is the Electoral College?"
I think we should get rid of Electoral College. There is a lot of trust problem and it is very confusing and hard to understand. It needs to be simple and easy and honset. It needs to be were you vote for the President and the Vice-President. NOt were you vote for for some one to do the voting. I also, think the number of Electoral votes need to be the same and not all be differnet. | 3 |
718bcde | NO MOTORVEHICLES? Yeah I know sounds crazy but it is actually very true and very helpful to our "Mother Nature". Around the world there have been an ample amount of experiments and even permanent instances that show off the marvelous wonders of no motor vehicles. From the alps of Vauban, Germany to down the street in Paris, France to even meet the other side of the world in Bogota, Colombia. Where there have been complete motor vehicle banning even going to the extreme of redesigning the whole city just to fit there suburban type customs but without the vehicles. Even just a simple banning for two days on motor vehicles just to clean up the air from time to time. As well as having a yearly event where all motor vehicles except for buses and taxis are banned all day long.
In Vauban, Germany they host home to about 5,500 residents within a rectangular mile. With absolutely no motor vehicles, they are forbidden. I think its actually pretty nice to have a suburban town where the whole town doesnt even have room for motor vehicles. Roads, street parking, parking lots, driveways, and home garages all do not exist in this town. They take it to the extreme where as to live in the town if you own a motorvehicle you MUST sell your motor vehicle first. 70 perecent of families do not own cars and 57 perecent sold a car to move into Vauban. And if you are to own a car you must purchase your own car space at the very edge of the city wich cost up to $40,000, along with the price of your home. Alot of people around the world support this even here in the United States the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities and legislators are begining to act.
After Paris came to a near record pollution level they enforced a parial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. One Monday motorists with even numbered license plates were demanded to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine or the the equivalant of $31. The same would apply to the odd numbered plated that following tuesday. Near 4,000 drivers were fined according to a international news agency headquatred in London. Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals with 147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared to 114 in Brussels, and 79.7 in London. There smog rate was so bad they rivaled the city of Beijing, China which is known as the most polluted city in the world. The congestion in was down 60 percent in the capital of France after five-days of incredibly increasing smog. But with the ban the smog cleared up enough Monday for the ruiling french party to rescind the ban for the odd numbered plates by Tuesday.
It was the third consecutive year that motor vehicles besides buses and taxis were baned from the capital of Bogota, Colombia. But this third year other major cities like Cali and Valledupar, joined the event. This day is specifically without cars is part of an improvement campain that began in Bogota in the mid-1990's as an improvement campain. And it has worked it has cleaned up the environment in all three cities. Parks and sport centers have also blosssomed throughout the city. Unequal, jagged sidewalks have been replaced by smooth sidewalks and rush hour has dramatically cut traffic out of the picture while restaurants and upscale shopping districts have been on the rise.
This culture is very quickly spreading throught the entire world. Even here in the United States, President Barack Obama | 3 |
718ee5b | Becoming a Seagoing Cowboy is a very experiencing and uniqe experince.
In the text Luke describes this oppertunity as an oppertunity of a life time.
In the text Luke also says " Besides helping families, I had the side bennefit of seeing Europe and China. So on top of helping famiies you also get to sight see and see places you would of never seen before.
In the text it also says boys play basketball and volley ball games in the empty holds of animals. So you will have extra time to do other things then work with animals.
In the text it said that Luke also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China. So you will have the time to tour and sight see.
In the text Luke also says "Seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special. He also adds to this by saying, so was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water. So if you do not become a Seagoing Cowboy you could miss these amazing sight and doing these amazing things.
This is why becoming a Seagoing Cowboy is a life time experience. | 2 |
71905fe | This day more and more people are trying to limet car usage. Some people are use to not using cars, is a way of living. Other's are trying to stop car pollution and limet the usage of them. Cars cause alot of smog wich then goes into the air and pollutes it. This is very bad, especially for our health. Were the one that breathe this air in and if its polluted we may become sick. It is also a good stress releiver since you dont have to be stuck in trafic or having to hear the car honk all day.
In source 1 "German Suburb, Life goes on Without Cars" it talk abou how the people in Vauban, Germany do not use cars. Cars are allowed but people chose too not use them. 70 percent of Vauban's families to not own a car and some have even sold there to move there. Heidrum Walter said that when she had a car she was always tense and is more happier know that she dosen't own one. Vauban may be the most city in low-car suburban other part of the world are taking this as an example and trying it out to. More and more places around the world are making stores more near by or on a main street, rather than having them in a shopping center with a highway distant.
Parin,France is the city that has the most smog out of all cities in Europe. This means that the pollution rate is higher. Thats why acording to source 2 ,Paris enforeced a partial driving ban to help clear the air in the city. Citizens were ordered to leave there vehicles at home or pay a fine of $31. But this did not stop people from using cars almost 4,000 drivers were fined after this ban was enforced. The reason Paris had for doing this is because after five days of intensive smog the congestion was down by 60 percent. By enforcing this ban Paris was able to clear out the smog in 3 days and be back to normal on Tuesday.
I know that people may not want to give up using there cars, yes is an easier way to travel and get places faster. There right, but it would be better for the world and ourself if we could reduce the usage of cars not just in our cities but all over the world. Just how in Bogoa, Columbia they have car free days. People who live there have a car free day wich mean they biked, walked or took buses to all of the destenations they had that day. Bogota had been doing this for three consecutive years and the goal is to promote alternativ etransportation and reduce smog. Some people who live there say that by doing these they relieved stress. By Bogota doing this they have parks and sports centers, uneven sidewalks have been taking away and replaced with smooth sidewalks.
In the United States more and more people are buying less cars and fewer people get there licens as the years go by. Even though americans are know for ther big love on carr ,that seems to be reducing. This is very beneficial for carbon emmissions and the environment. People like Mimi Sheller a sociology professor at Drexel University researched different resources and said that the Internet makes telecommuting possible and we don't have to drive to a friend house to see them or talk to themm we can just use technology to do that. Also the percentage of people getting there license has chaged. People are finding ways to either walk, take public transportatio, or have somone cal-pool them ,rather than diving a car themselfs.
In conclusion limiting car usage is getting bigger and bigger as the years go by. We should all be helping this to make it happen all over the world. It helps with pollution problems, its great for your health and it helps relevied stress. | 3 |
71956aa | The author has a good point. Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Venus being the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. It is believe that it was covered with large oceans and supported forms of life, however various spacecrafts only survived several hours when landing on Venus.
First off, Venus still has Earth-like features. The planet has a rocky surface and includes valleys, mountains, and craters. However the temperature on Venus surface averages over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and it is said that the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience here on Earth. So why is it believed that life once existed on this planet? It is extremely dangerous to send anyone to Venus, because they most likely wouldn't make it back home. Let alone survive a couple hours. The author stated that NASA is working on other ways to study Venus without risking the lives of others. Which I believe is a good idea. It'll spark more people's interest in knowing the plants around us.
Despite the dangers Venus has eventually NASA will find a way to successfully send a spacecraft or group of people up there without doing any harm. Even though life today cannot exist on Venus because of the tempature and air quality, it is worth looking into. | 3 |
719595f | Worldwide, more and more car companies have been introducing new products and services for the growing population. However, many places such as Vauban, Germany are now putting a pause on this polluting production with smart planning movements and new law enforcements.
Motor vehicle companies have produced millions of new vehicles, all with the latest additives. Some, with bullet proof window, others with high speed turbo engines. Many csr lovers fancy the best cars and sometimes the most. Cars are the most used mode of transportation, used daily to get people from one place to another. Most have even looked to the future to see flying cars and such things as seen in cartoons and animations. Cars are an attraction for many. These car companies will have a negative outcome from this movement across the globe. Do we really need to take away the cars?
Though cars are seen as an everyday tool, is it really safe? Scientists have proven that the smog from these car engines pollute the atmospher. Cold nights and warm days cause warmer layers of air to trap car emissions, polluting the very air we breath. Congestion contributes to the amount of emissions and also the hectic bundle att stoplights and highways. Some have also stated that congestion brings tension in people.
Due to this damaged to the Earth, many organizations and countries have enforced laws and rules for a car-free environment. Places such as Vauban, Germany have forbidden any form of car storage and transporting. Paris bans car driving after days of near-record pollution and in Bogota, Colombua many left their car at home for a day to clear the streets and the air. These moements have seen progress woth reviews from many o how the smog free zones release the tension in the people and lower air pollution. In America, transportaion is the second largest source of emissions. President Barack Obama has plans to reduce this statistic. America's statistics shows that its people are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer lincenses as each year goes by. This makes Obama's plan a step closer to being complete.
Car usage can therefore be depleted and the atmosphere can be saved. Car companies will have a negative impact from this but these countries are seeing better results from it. Limting car usage is not the end of the world. More transportation is out there and the less cars, the less stress. | 3 |
719648c | Why should you join 'Seagoing Cowboys' because you get to cross the Alantic Ocean 16 times! Not just that only, you get to take care horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. Just like real cowboys, instead you get to be riding a ship while taking care of the animals.
Also, as a Seagoing Cowboy you don't just take care of animals, you can also help people that needs help. By doing their jobs for them. When cowbys are done putting animals that had been unloaded they get to do their fun games, like playing baseball and vollyball games!
When you get served as night watchman you get check on all the animals every hour but have to watch out where your going because you might slip or fall down during night time. You have to be calm and wait because it takes long days to arrive the place they have to go. Crossing Atlanic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States takes 2 weeks and a month to get to China.
For traveling you get to see new places you never seen before! Like Luke seen the side of Europe and China! In China you get to see the castle in Crete and marveld at the Panama Canal!
I think being a 'Seagoing Cowboy' is fun when getting do to these things.Visiting new places, taking care of animals, different jobs for 'Seagoing Cowboy'. Also helping people in other countries for their needs makes Luke happy. | 3 |
7199105 | Dear State Senator,
I am here to inform you that you should change election to a popular vote for the president of the United States. This is due to the fact that as of now Americans vote to elect their president, but what good is that if they don't even recieve what they want? What is even the point of voting? Saying this, I agree with source two on its point, "It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. This is backed up with data from the same article stating that voters can't even control whom their electors vote for. This is clearly why "60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now." Without a doubt if you cared for your people, the people who support you and give you your job opportunity, you would see that you should abolish this electoral college. Even a blind man could see that.
You may be wondering if your people think this is such a bad idea, why would our founding fathers impliment something so horindess? As you see "electoral college was established in the constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens", says source 1. Although that sounded great at the time, today electoral college is frowned upon because majorly because of its "winnr-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. As if that wasn't unfair enough, the electors don't even necessarily have to vote for their states choice. This would be similar to if I was infatuated with a color, I then asked my team what our team color should be and after taking a vote, I chose the color I preferred because I was bias even though my whole team disliked it. This is obviously the wrong way to run our election ecspecially the most important in our country.
On the other hand I do understand that there are some advantages to an electoral college. These include, mentioned in source 3, a large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaignthan a small state does. This is fair because there are more people in big states then small therefore big states should get more of a voice. Although in popular vote big states would still get the bigger vote because there are more people voting therefore they have more votes. This is why I think the middle man should just be cut out leaving us with a popular vote.
According to the facts it is clear to me that the electoral college should be siezed. I think it is unnecessary as well as unfair. When we think of voting for our president, that is what we want to do. Voting for our president does not include voting for someone who may or may not choose our choice. Also if we chose our President by popular vote all the votes that weren't majority would add up and possibly make the difference between the vote results. This is why it is unfair to simply use majority rule for each state and practically erase the other votes off the table. As you can see State Senator your people vote to elect their ruler. Why deny them of this oppurtunity. It is clear to me that the electoral college may have been a good concept to our founding father but when applyed is not the best decision. This is why I think you should change to an election by popular vote for president of the United States. | 4 |
719aa38 | The things that scientists are doing and the dangers that they are going to have to go through to find out about Venus is wild, but it is worth it because we need to find out if their are things that we don't know. Studying Venus is worthy to explore despite the dangers is very importsnt because NASA is making a way to send humans to study Venus by floating, scientists are trying to make a metal that can be stable for Venus's temperatures, and scientists are tring to figure out if thier was life before.
NASA is making a way to send humans to study Venus by floating! Doesn't this seem to be extream? Well in Paragraph 5 it states "At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to sea level on Earth." this shows that it could be possible that humans can go to Venus to test studies. Also in paragraph 5 it states "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." this shows that scientists are actually tring to find out ways even though the conditions are dangerious.
Scientists are trying to make a metal that can be stable for Venus's temperatures. Scientists are actually tring to put electonics made out of certian metal to see if it can handle a bit of Venus's heat. I know this because in paragraph 7 it states "For example, some simplified electronics made out of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have laasted for three weeksin such conditions" this shows that some metals or a thing can handle the heat of Venus but they are still trying to find ways to get the information they need. in Pragraph 7 it also states "Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers." this shows that scientists are trying different things.
Scientists are tring to figure out if thier was life before. On planet Venus there are features that are almost like or are the same to Earth. I know this because in paragraph 4 it states "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to thise on Earth. The planet has a suface of a rocky sedimant and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." this shows that there is a way that Venus could have had life and living things on Venus. This also shows that we really need to see and find a way to get on Venus to see what we are missing out on.
Studying Venus is worthy to explore despite the dangers is very importsnt because NASA is making a way to send humans to study Venus by floating, scientists are trying to make a metal that can be stable for Venus's temperatures, and scientists are tring to figure out if thier was life before. The author has many things to support that we should study Venus even though the danger it could bring on a human. In the last paragraph it states "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." I felt like this last sentence says everyhting and that the author really thinks that we should adventure no matter what the danger. | 4 |
719c6f1 | Helping. I'm Luke,a Seagoing Cowboy. I hope to convince you to join helping people along the seas. Remember, this is an opportunity of a lifetime.
First off, let me tell some of the benefits. You get to meet new people,and if you don't like that, you can go sightseeing while your going to your destination. One of the best things are the fun. You can fence, play ping-pong, box, read, write, and even play baseball or volleyball! Somehow, this can all be done on a ship. This really helped pass time.
Next, let me tell you about work. This is not that bad concidering all the fun you can have. What you can do is check on the animals, clean the stalls, and feed/water them.
Most of all, the world can be opened up to you. It makes you more aware of people's needs. This can lead to a whole world of opportunity.
Helping people and animals can make people feel complete. This job was probably one of the best I've had. The experience taught me a valuable lesson. It makes me a better person and you could too! | 3 |
719e49f | Dear Senator,
In all honestly, getting rid of the Electoral College is for the best. It's unfair to the voters. Changing it to election by popular vote for the president of the United States would be easier for the people.
Source 2 states that the Electoral college is unfair for the voters because the candidates don't go to states they don't have a chance of winning, because of the winnner-take-all system. The candidates only focus on the tight races in the swing states. Sorce 2 also claims that in the 2000 election, 17 states didn't see the candidates at all! That's pretty rediculous. And voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't even get to see a single campaign ad.
In the Electoral College system, voters dont only vote for the president, but for electors, who also vote for the president. Then again, in source 2, the article says the the electors that were voted for can vote for anyone they choose. That's some tricky business.
Voters can't control who the electors vote for. Electors aren't even voted for by the people. They sometimes come from state conventions, sometimes the state party's central committee, sometimes even the presidential candidates themselves. The second article says that the legislature is responsible for picking the electors. And these electors coukd always go against what the people want.
Article 1 says that to Electoral college is meant to be a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The Electoral College consists of the meeting of electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of electoral votes by congress.
Doing away with the Electoral Cololege is the best thing to do for the people. IT's unfair and tricky. The people deserve to be respected and not cheated out of their vote by electors. | 3 |
719eb62 | Do aliens live on Mars?
Some people belive that the face found on Mars was created by aliens.
This information is unaccurate.
The face on Mars was not created by aliens, it is actually a natural landform.
The Face of Mars is a natural landform which can be proven by research conducted by NASA.
NASA claims that the face seen by the Viking 1 photo in 1976 is mearly a natural landform.
This can be proven by information found on April 8, 2001 when Garvin's team captured an image at 1.56 meters, compared to the 43 meters per pixel in 1976.
With this amount of precision, other things created by aliens would have been able to have been witnessed as well.
NASA is also the most trusted and deserving space agency because of past information that is trusted by most of the world.
NASA has also released a statement saying that the Martian butte or mesa are landforms common around the American West.
Garvin says," It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."
In this article, there is evidence that proves that the Face on Mars is a natural landform.
This information can be shown in paragraph 3 where it says," huge rock formation...which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."
This information shows that NASA knows that this was made by shadows and not aliens.
Also, in paragraph 11 where it states," As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger that the pixel size," he added.
" So if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!"
This statement proves that since there was no other evidence pointing toward the fact of aliens creating this Face, there is only one explanation which is that the Face is a natural landform just as we have here on Earth.
Furtermore, in paragraph 12, the author mentions that the the picture," is the Martian equvalent of a butte or mesa."
Humans have buttes and mesa down on Earth which are natural landforms.
This proves that the landforms there could have been created the same way on Mars as they were on Earth.
In conclusion, the Face on Mars is actually just a natural landform that happened to have the perfect shadowing at the perfect time.
The theory that aliens created this landform is outragous compared to the facts given by NASA to prove that this is a landform. | 3 |
71a1944 | in the article " Making Mona Lisa Smile" the auhor explains that a new peice of technology can calculate a humans emotions called the " Facial Action Coding".But is it really worth the students time to use technology just to learn about theirs or other feelings?. its just a waste of time. The technology can only do one thing as the article shows and its just to show what one's emotion are.
In the article paragraph 5 it states that " in fact, we humans preform this same impressive "calculation" every day. For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face". This cleary shows just by looking at a friends face you can tell if they are okay or not, so we dont need a device to do it for us. in paragraph 6 it states " For example, if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a smilar as appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow.But if you frown, the next ad will be diffrent". This shows that just a facial expression can chnage a ad , but is it really that helpful?, not many people watch ads as it is, they skip them. in paragraph 6 it also states " most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication". this shows that human communication is nonverbal for a good part but why does emotional communication need to be useful? what would we do with the results we got when we test the emotion device? text a friend and show what youre feeling for a quick second?. students will maybe use it at first , but will get tired of it because it just shows emotions and nothing else.
In paragraph 7 it states " your home PC cant handle the complex algorithms used to decode mona lisa's smile". this states your home computer cant show the emotons. So by that means you will need a certain device and that will be expensive. Why would a school spend lots and lots of money just for a dveice that shows emotions thta nobody will enventually use. Also is paragraph 7 it states " these are the instructions for a face that looks happy.... they even indicate the diffrence betweena genuine smile and a forced one". this shows the indication of a forced smile and a real one , but which people can tell if thier friends have a real or fake smile.
In conclusion we do not need a device to tell us our emotions. we can tell out emiotions and our freinds can too. This device is a waste of time and money for students. The students will use it a couple of times and wont use it because its programmed only to do one thing and thats to show our emotions. This device is not valuable for students just to show emotions. | 3 |
71a568d | Luke Bomberger makes the choice to go over seas to and ship horses, cows, and mules to Europe. Luke had knew this would a one time chance to go over seas with his friend, Don. They both signed up for the "Seagoing Cowboys" to watch over and care for the cows, horses, and mules while they go over sea. Luke is brave to do this cause a lot of people just are scared to go across the world.
The bravery shown in Luke is when he goes to diferent places around the world in Europe. Even when there is a terrible storm upon them. In paragraph seven the author states " One rainy night, after making his hourly report to the captain, he slid sown a slippery ladder on his backside of the ship. Luke's heart raced as he shot feet first toward an opening on the side of the ship. A small stirp of metal along the edge stopped slide, keeping him from flying overboard into the dark Atlantic. He was happy to be alive." After that terrible time Luke was brave enough to keep working on the ship later. Which takes a lot of guts to do or to be brave like Luke.
In the end Luke was very bliss to be working with his friend. Luke says in paragraph eight "It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs." In that sentence he was more worried about the people than himself. Not a lot of people have the guts to do that. In conclusion, Luke was brave to work to all the stuff over seas and give the people who were affected in war what they needed no matter what. | 1 |
71a67d7 | Driverless cars is certainly an amzing idea. It has captured the ideas of filmakers and writers around the world. It is a great idea and should be pursued. The reason for this is because it would make the roads safer, and give people more free time.
The reason this is a great idea is because a driverless car would make the roads much safer. There would be very little room for human error. If all cars were driverless operating under the same systm then they would always be doing the same things, meaning they would never crash into each other. With new technological advances in society, we would be able to create new sensors that could locate the objects around them and drive on the road. The article already list a few of the advances in sensors that can lead to very safe cars.
This would also give people much more free time. You can do things on the internet within your car that you would not have been able to do otherwise, considering the idea from the article about the heads-up displays. Also if you had a systme driving your car for you, you could travel at much higher speeds. The car would never leave the road because of a jerk of a hand. They would run, completely safe at higher rates of speed, giving people more time to do the things that they need.
These are just two of many reasons why we should have driverless cars around the world. It would be a huge step in society and technology. We need driverless cars to make the roads safer and to give people more free time. | 4 |
71aa653 | Do you have a passion for helping people and visiting many places? You can express that passion when you join the Seagoing Cowboys. The UNRRA hired us to do one job. We are to take care of animals oversea. Of course these are orders.
This a wonderful job, an opportunity of a lifetime. Taking care of animals and visiting many places in the world is amazing. Seagoing Cowboys also get to help out people in need. Of course not all missions of ours is going to be easy, but that's ok. Just trust in your teammates.
I am Luke, one of the many Seagoing Cowboys. By 1947 I had made 9 trips, I feel like I have accomplished many important missions. During these missions I got to do some sight seeing. Seeing unique places like Europe and China. Aside from doing good deeds for people, it feels good to have some goals. Join if you like to have much more than an adventure. This program many even open up a new world for you. | 2 |
71aaa97 | I think Luke experiened wonderful and amazing things he also may have seen disturbing things like seeing the Acropolis in Greece that was probably amazing but seeing war results was probably very disturbing. I also think traveling months at a time would make me really anxious and board untill the games came in then that would have made a little less boaring but I still would have been a little anxious to get to where I needed to go. And I couldn't imagine going across the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and the Pacific Ocean twice that is just absulutaly crazy I really don't know how he Luke Bomberger and his friend Don Reist. I did not know who these men were or what this story was about but after I read this story I now highly respect Luke Bomberger and his friend Don Reist for what they did and how many times they risked their lifes to save other people that were in trouble. | 2 |
71aefb8 | My position on the driverless cars is positive. In todays time driving has become a nesesaty. You have to drive to get around anywhere. Acceddents happen and accidents will still happen its not the car its the perso whom is driving. Sould you be hadycapped or sck,or having issues with your sight. The Driverless Cars are a more safe and enviromental transportation system. Think about it it would be more safe for everyone. In the passage it states that they are so safe that their cars have driven half a million miles without a single crash or accident.
in the driverless car it has a rotation mirrorsensor int he roof. avideo camera mounted near the rearview mirror,four automotive radar sensors,a GPS reciever,andan intertail motion sensor all of wich in a regular simple car these delecasies for safty are not nearly mimicated. Now those sensors can respond to out of controlskids or rollovers. the information from the sensors can make the car apply brakes if they are needed o stop. It can also reduce power from the engine,allowing far better response ad control that a ¨huma driver¨ could manage on his own.
I quote the passege ¨while the driver watches the road the car watches the driver¨. | 2 |
71af4b4 | I believe that driverless cars are a bad idea and I would not support the idea.
They would cause many deaths and they can cause a lot of harm.
They can also cause a lot of crashes.
Also, most people dont have a fast reflex to prevent crashes.
They are going to cost a fortune to keep producing them and a lot of money to produce the kind of road for the kind of car.
The cars will cause many deaths because a computer is controling it and the car wouldent stop where its supposed to stop due to a mistake in their sensors.
That can also happen due to the driver not paying attention to the road. The person driving could push the limit of the car and anything could happen.
The car would lose control and crash killing some people.
The cars are going to cost a fortune due to road improvements.
Also the materials needed for the sensors which cost about two hundred million dollars.
This just goes to show how much the cars will cost.
The car also needs to be fixed sooner or later so the car's parts will cost a fortune to get.
If the car is crashed who could you blame?
The people driving the car or the people who created it?
this will be a big problem to the bisness owners if the car decides to malfunction and cause a lot of damage or cause a life to end.
The car could be damaged and the driver would not know because the person is not controling it but the comoputer is.
Hacking is also a big problem in this world and if Google decides to sell this car, hackers could take control of it.
These cars could be a potential thret to the environment and to inocent people.
The cars would need a lot of secruity for this problem and could cost more than the needs to be.
I am against driverless cars because of hidden dangers in these cars.
by me proving this point, I belive that people that want this car will soon regret it due to dangers.
the car would cost a fortune, and a lot of damage.
The car also needs assistance so think of this; Is the car driving by itself or are you really driving it? | 3 |
71b6e79 | Everyone in the world makes different facial expressions everday. It's not necessarily something people try to do, but it is a natural way to express emotion. New technology called Facial Action Coding System allows doctors and scientists to evaluate people's facial expressions as a way of telling how they are feeling. Administrators should use the Facial Action Coding System in the classroom because it is valuable in ways such as engaging students in lessons, being able to tell if a student is experiencing negative emotions, and it will help students learn about facial expressions and what they mean.
One reason why the Facial Action Coding System would be valuable in the classroom is because it would keep students engaged in lessons. In the article, it says that the computer program would have the ability to see when a student is getting bored or confused. Once it recognized this, it would reengage them in the lesson. This is the same things teachers do, but if a teacher was busy with another student, the computer just completed the task for them. This would be an effective way for students to continue their learning in an innovative way.
Another reason the Facial Action Coding System would be useful in the classroom would be that the technology would be able to tell if the student was experiencing negative emotions. If someone knows their friend well, they are likely going to notice if they seem sad or downtrodden. However, if their friend is trying to hide their emotions, they might not even know something is wrong. On the other hand, if the computer systems were in the classroom, it would be able to tell if their were other negative emotions hidden from the human eye such as depression. This is evident from the article when it says that the Mona Lisa painting is, "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry"(D'Alto). These results could be surprising to some because to the normal human eye the Mona Lisa seems completely happy and few would guess she's actually angry or fearful. So, this would help administators know if there was emotionally something they could do to help their students.
The final reason the Facial Action Coding System should be used in classrooms is because it could teach students about recognizing facial expressions in people and what they mean. So, the technology is not only useful because it helps the students' emotional health, but also because it could help students help each other. If students learn how the computer tells how people are feeling, and they do the same, then the students will be able to recognize emotions and attain help for people they might think need emotional support. This would go above what humans are able to tell about how people feel on a regualar basis.
So, the
Facial Action Coding System would be useful in classrooms for a plethora of reasons. For one, it would recgonize if students were straying away from the lesson, and it would pull them back in. Also, the technology would be able to detect negative emotions within a student which could be presented to the teacher so they could help the student. Finally, the technology would be able to inform students on how to recognize emotions of people and could teach them all of the science and technological aspects of the sofware. This innovative facial technology could help students a trememdous amount in the classroom. | 6 |
71b9fec | In this article Making Mona Lisa Smile the author describes how a new technology is able to identify human emotions. The technology is called Facial Action Coding Sysytem and it allows it to identify human emotion. Also during this reading i will be using details from the reading to show the vaule of using this technology to help find students emotions.
In this article i found some evidence that supports the claim that it should be able to use this technology on students in the class room or anywhere for that matter. People do the same thing this machine does on a daily basis such as people looking at one another to try and find out what there expression or emotions are. It could tell if kids were going to be happy about an assigment or not or if the kids were depressed or upset about something and needed someone to talk too. Dr. Huang says that this peice of technology works just as well as the doctor working pn your facial tissue and muscles to figure out what your emotions or expression are. And the sam technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive and more human like. Also people can fake faces and make you belive they are fine and dont need anything if they don't have this technology which could change that out come that person has on life, with this technology we could help people and get the help they need in time instead of getting to them too late and not helping at all.
In this article Making Mona Lisa Smile I used the information provided from the article to help find how a new technology is able to identify human emotions. Also during this reading i will be using details from the reading to show the vaule of using this technology to help find students emotions. And too my conclusion i think that this would be very helpful in the school setting or any setting that you put it too. | 3 |
71bc28b | In the article the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers because of how he described the astronomers as fascinated and curious. The author is using those descriptive words to show how even though it could be dangerous, it is worth it.
In the article the author shows his strong support for the exploring of Venus. He states, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This shows how he desribes Venus as fascinating and that illustrates the passion to explore despite the dangers.
He also stated, "Therefore scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges." The author says that they should maybe think of the risks as challenges when exploring Venus becuase of the want to understand Venus. This shows how they so badly want to understand Venus thast they should just disregard the dangers of it.
The author then goes onto say how Venus has an insight to be gained and assuming that the insight is worth the dangers. He states, " Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value becuase of the insight to be gained on the planet itself." The value the author brings up the quote is being used to show how the challenges are worth the value and that the exploring of Venus is worth the dangers. The author also describes the astronomers as curious, he states, " Human curiousity will likely lead us to many equally intimidating endeavors." He is stating how they are so curious and that they are so curious that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers.
In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author very cleary states how exploring and studying Venus is worthy of the dangers that come with it. The author shows this by saying how fascniated and curious astronomers are, by saying this he is inferring that they are willing to do what they can to venture out onto Venus and do what they can to find out more about it even with the dangers attatched to doing so. | 4 |
71c12b0 | Do you think its is a good idea to limit car usage? Well i do and the reason for that is because more people now a days just have completely stop caring about the enviornment. I say this because more and more people are getting these big trucks and they are not realizing that when that truck starts it is letting out bad gases that harms our atmosphear.
I read that people are now getting fines in Columbia because of there cars and right now i think that's a good idea. I say this because people are just down right lazy and they need to get up and go exercise, they could just go walk or even ride a bike to where they have to go, it's really not that hard.
Next I read that president Obama has abitious goals to curb the united states greenhouse gas emission. I know that it will work out because I read that peopel think that america is pass the car age or what ever and that more and more people are starting to do whats right and start walking and riding bikes.
Now I have also read that Car compinies are suffering from that one day without cars thing because i think they fear that people might love the day without cars so much,that they just might stop buying them. Car componies are also suffering because I read that more and more people are becoming unemployed or they just cant affored it so they take alternet ways to get to where they have to go and they just dont worry about it.
These are some of the reasons why i think it is a good idea that we should limit the usage in this world because there are so many pro's and cons on why its a good/bad idea. | 3 |
71c1f3d | In my town getting your license is a huge deal. As soon as I turned fifteen I went streight to the DMV to take my test and get to driving as soon as possible. In countries and cities such as Germany, France, and Bogota, driving is ban pretty much where ever you go. After days of near-record pollution,paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city and as a result congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog. Smog flooded Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the entire world.
Limiting car usage has numerous advantages from streets being safer than ever, to totally eliminating smog that drapes over the world today.
Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions and desil fuel was blamed. we the people want to stop the pollution and eliminate it once and for all so the People proposed " A day without cars". It's part of an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. This campaign has seen the construction of 188 miles of nicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city, according to the citys mayor. Parks and sports centers have beeen packed throughout the city, Sidewalks have been redone, rush-hour restrictions have cut traffic, new and more resturaunts have been built, and upscale shopping districts have cropped up.
The end of car culture has hit everywhere and id just getting to the U.S.
President Obama's goal to curb the United states' greenhouse gas emissions, unveiled last week, will get a fortuitous assist from an incipient shift in American behavior. Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewwer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. the essential question is " Has America passed peak driving?"
the United states had been long one of the worlds prime car cultures. But America's love affair with its vehicles seems to be cooling. when adjusted for population growth, the number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily after. As of april 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in january 1995.
"different things are converging which suggests that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift," said Mimi Sheller, a sociology professor at Drexel University and director of its Mobilities Research and policy center. She cites various factors about how the internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet your friends. the renewal of centercities has made the suburbs less appealing and has drawn empty nesters back in. The rise in cellphones and car-pooling apps has facilitated more flexable commuting arrangements, inncluding the evolution of shared va services for getting to work.
a study last year found that driving by young peopple decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009 and even car buyers are merely older or buying fewer cars in a lifetime rather than rejecting car culture outright. "pedestrian, bycycle, private cars, commerical and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emmissions and improve safety." | 2 |
71c4a6d | Car-Free Cities
Humans almost feel the need to own a car almost as much as they feel the need to own a phone. The automobile industry has been a growing industry since World War 2. There are so many advantages to limiting car usage. Saving on gas and getting good exercise are just a few of the great advantages of limiting car usage.
Vauban, Germany understands that according to Source 1 which talks about how they have given up their cars! Not only is it saving them a ton of money on gas, car insurance, car payments, and fixing parts, it also gives them all great exercise. If everyone walks everywhere everyday the whole city will be fit in no time. Another advantage to the loss of cars, no car accidents. 180,000 people die a year due to car accidents. The death's in this city will be reduced drastically due to no cars. This no car movement is a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere as a component of a movement called "smart planning".
Source 2 talks about how Paris has banned driving due to smog. Congestion went down 60 percent in the capital of France. Delivery companies in Paris complained of lost revenue, while exceptions were made for plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers. The advantages of limiting car usage here is the you'd never have to worry about there being smog outside or snow etc. Limiting car usage, you wouldn't have to worry about the weather being so terrible that you can't drive in smog or heavy rain and have a car accident.
Bogota, Colombia joins the no car movement for what is known as "Car-Free Day". Source 3 discusses the day without cars in Bogota, Colombia. It is an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. It's seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city, according to their city's mayor. Limiting car usage in this city could be great for a lot of reasons. One being they are the only Latin-American city to have covered 118 miles of bicycle paths. Their parks and sports centers are now blooming throughout the city. It's uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks.
Source 4 talks about the End of Car Culture. Studies have shown that as the years go on, driving is becoming less and less popular which is sad for many automobile industries worldwide. In America, the partial cause of the decrease in car usage is the unemployment rate being so low, it's not like someone has to go to work. Gas is becoming to expensive, why would people even want to have cars if they can barely afford them? Riding a bicycle is beneficial for more money in your pocket and more healthiness for your body. | 4 |
71c9986 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author (Nick D'Alto) describes how a new technology known as the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) enables computers to identify human emotions. In a classroom setting, this technology would prove itself to be vital and crucial. For example, if a student is becoming bored or confused, then the lesson would modify itself to fit the student's interests. I believe that the use of this technology in a classroom is valuable.
There are many benefits to having the FACS in any class setting. For example, if a group of students became tired and uninterested, the FACS would identify this and change the lesson to change the student's emotions. If James were to suddenly become uninterested in the lesson, then the computer system would modify the lesson. Then, James would become interested in the lesson again. FACS can monitor the facial expressions of him to identify specific emotions. He might be 70% disgusted, 20% happy, and 10% angry. After the system modifys the lesson to the interest of James, then he might become 70% happy and 30% disgusted.
The science behind the FACS is simple. In Paragraph 3, the process of the FACS is explained. The process starts when the computer makes a 3-D model of any face; the model include all 44 major muscles. The six basic emotions can be associated: happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, and sadness. If a teacher were to have difficulty in identifying a specific emotion in a student, then the computer system could aid the teacher.
If a student were to become angry at a fellow learner, then the NACS could identify this and the teacher can intervene before any aggression can occur. If a student was feeling sad, but had trouble showing emotions, then the computer could analyze the facial expressions to calculate the specific emotions.
In Paragraph 4, an idea is that the software can even identify mixed emotions. Like in Leonardo da Vinci's work, the "Mona Lisa," the mixed expressions can be calculated. Even if an individual were to hide their emotions, the Facial Action Coding System is still able to figure the emotions. This can prove helpful in identifying if a student needs aid, because their mixed emotions can be figured out. Teachers would have to worry less about figuring out how a student feels.
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the FACS enables computers to identify human expressions and emotions. The classroom setting would be dramatically improved, because the interests of students would be incorporated into the lessons. Teachers would have to put less worry into figuring out expressions. Students can be interested in school, because of the FACS. This new technology is crucial and valuable in educating students, and it should be used in all schools if possible. | 4 |
71ced58 | In this article we will be talking about how and why this landform on mars was not created by aliens on mars. We will be talking about how it is just and oddly shaped landform naturaly created,why people think it was created by alien life on mares and how it could've been made on mars.
This oddly shaped landform on mars is just an odd mountain of the rusty soil on mars that happens to resemble a face of egyptian pharaoh that looks like the monuments that we find in western america to day. The face on mars resembles a face because of shadows frome other large landforms nearby or could be just a verry odd landform that looks like a face of some sort.
People think the landform of a face might of been created by aliens from the planet mars. How do we know that it is created by aliens how do we even know of life on the planet mars. The planet mars is supposed to be a very rusty dusty planet and is very cold at night and decently warm in day. If this was created by aliens we would need proof or sightings of the aliens that have created this for it to be considered true.
This myterious landform may have been created by heavy winds of dust to form and odd face on the side of top of some hill or mountain on mars. It could just be shadows from other big landmarks nearby this one that has cast its shadow over this one that could resemble a face. Or if there is alien life on mars then there might be just a small possibility of this have been created by aliens just to get our attention to visit there planet and if that is the case then we shall have to explore it to see and come to a conclusion of how the mysteirous landform was created to begin with than we might agree to that aliens created it.
I think that this landform on mars was just created by heavy winds and shadows from other bigger mountains nearby this one and happend to cast it shadow over this one to resemble a face on this one that is what it think. In this article we talked about how oddly shaped the landform was we talked about why people think it is made by aliens on planet mars and how the landform was possibly created . | 4 |
