7cd47f9 | It would be a great thing to move into Venus for all humans because some point the Earths surface or the Orbit of the Earth would be destroyed that it would possably bring to kill millions of people around the world, or it'd be easier to say that humans will most likely be extinct for ever. I see that it's a worthy, right, & brave to be doing reasearch, tests, & ect. on Venus when it might be a bit dangerouse because there are just millions of babies, kids, parents, and grandparents around the world that it would be awefull to see them die at a very young age, I don't see that it's a right thing for humans to suffer the pain and to see their last memory of there loved ones dying. Venus has had water before in its planet, so i believe that if venus has had water, it would be possable to bring & to be having plants, anilmals, and living things to be working together in Venus so that it's capable, possable of growing a new nation, and developing more people. | 2 |
7cd59eb | Everyone has heard of the planet callled Venus. Which is the second planet from the sun and it is also
famous for the beauty it has which other planets don't. For that reasons many researchers have tried to study Venus but none have accomplished to do so. The challenges the scientists face might means to end their life but it's worth it. The planet Venus, which is also known as our planet Earth's "twin" is the closest to us
yet far.
It
once was like our planet Earth, mostly might have been covered with water but as time passed by it became rocky which shows the features of valley, moutains, and craters. According to the article, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valley, mountains, and craters."
The researchers have failed stay long in the planet
to study it
due to the temperatures, which is over 800 degrees and atmospheric pressure it has. The suface of the planet is so hot that it is like volcanoes erupting, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes which make the people who wants to study the planet unable to enter the planet safely.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administrations (NASA) is looking for ways to study the planet. The NASA has an idea to send humans to study the planet Venus by looking for a good conditions on the surface of Venus which will allowed them to study the surface of it. It might not be easy for them but at least they will be able to survive. It would be hard for them to take things from the planet such as rock, gas, or other things as a sample to study so they would have to take the risk.
It is worth for them to study the planet Venus because
it has value and they can gain the planet. Also they will know what it is to be like in the planet. The article stated, " Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidation endeavors."
Taking the risk to study the planet might means that they can finally know what it is like tobe in there in Venus and see things in there as well as bringing it into our planet Earth. It is worth taking the risk. | 3 |
7cd65d1 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author suggests that studying our sister planet is worth the risks and dangers it possesses. Often referred to as Earth's "twin" or the "Evening Star", Venus has proven many times that exploration is close to impossible for spacecrafts, let alone humans. "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours". This sentence in paragraph 2 already shows signs of uncertainty in the author's claim. Although the author mentions that Venus may instill curiosity in humans, the dangers and inhospitable conditions that he also mentions contradict the point he is trying to get across.
Throughout the entire passage, the author provides both negative and positive facts about the idea of human exploration of Venus. Although providing negative aspects might be his idea of a counterargument, the bad outweighs the good in this scenario. "Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface" (paragraph 3). This statement, full of reasons not to explore Venus, provides a contradictory tone and idea. The author even starts the sentence with "Beyond high pressure and heat", which demonstrates the fact that he is adding on more negative aspects to a previously mentioned negative aspect.
The uncertain author also mentions that "most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective". This piece of information alone defeats a large purpose of exploration: getting photographic evidence. "More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance". This statement also defeats a huge purpose of exploration: getting physical evidence. Without this ability, scientists would have to get very close to the surface despite the risks. One things that the author mentions to support his claim is that the risks should be thought of or seen as challenges. This change from a negative word to a positive helps to support his claim and provide insight to his passionate opinion.
The author mentions more cons than pros, but he seems to stick with his claim and brush off each negative in the last part of the passage, paragraph 8. "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited to dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation". This concluding statement shows that the author is urging humans to be fearless and hungry for exploration and innovation. The author also believes that "human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors" anyway. Although this claim sounds more like an assumption, he is trying to show that if humans can explore other dangerous areas of Earth and space, then they can also overcome that obstacles that prevent them from doing the same to Venus.
Although the author mentions that Venus may instill curiosity in humans, the dangers and inhospitable conditions that he also mentions contradict the point he is trying to get across. All in all, the author fails to fully support his claim that Venus is a worthy pursuit desipte the dangers it presents. The facts and evidence prove his claim wrong, and he only provides an inspirational conclusion to create a distraction from the reailty of the situation. With the author providing facts like spacecrafts surviving only a few hours and frequent natural disasters on the planet, he tears down his own claim and gives more reasons as to why this exploration cannot work than why it can. | 6 |
7cd97af | The author of this passage thinks that Venus would be a worhty planet to investigate because it may have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, in paragraph 4 it states "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life...", so what the author is tying to get at is that we could understand what happened to venus and would help us understand more on how we can alternate things to send over to venus to help us study it.
Some solutions that the author stated on what we could do to be able to live there so that we could study it better were that we could build a bimp like vehicle so that it would hover over the planet avoiding all of the dangers. But in doing so would still lead us to the questions how would we be able to get samples like rocks and things that they need to tudy it and he said that scientists today are coming up with solutions that would help us be able to get the thngs we need without having to get out or get harmed.
The author stated that Venus would be very important to study because tht would probably be the first planet that we could ever be able to visit and it would be best if we understood it more. And the fact that it used to be like earth could lead us to believe that this could happen to earth to, and this would help us to either prevent it from happening or to avoid it and maybe travel to another planet and avoid it. | 2 |
7cdc02d | Did you know that the planet Venus has a lot of Earth like similarities? Well in the story "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author supports this idea giving factual evidence one being,Venus is somewhat referred to as Earths "twin", Venus has a dangerous climate and dosen't have the resources needed for our living conditions, and Not a single spaceship has been to Venus in more than three decades.
First of all, Venus is somewhat referred to as Earth's "twin". In paragraph two the author explains one way of how Venus and Earth are the same. The author states " Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size,and occasionally the closest in distance too." In this way the author is implying the physical features are similar. The author also states that " Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to Earth. Like Mountains, rocky sediment, and even valleys." Even though Venus has the same physical features as Earth its not the same as the things we need in order to live.
In addition, Venus has a dangerous climate and dosen't have the resources needed for our living conditions. In paragraph three the author gives a description of the conditions on Venus. The author states that " A thick atmosphere of almost ninety-seven percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere." This here states that if humans were to travel to Venus they would not be able to survive because Venus's atmosphere is different from Earth. Not only that but the author also states that " On the planet's surface, tmeperatures average over eight-hundred degrees Farenheit." With that being said these living conditions are to extreme for humans to encounter because the pressure is ninety times greater than what humans expeirence on our own planet.
Finally, Not a single spaceship has been to Venus in more than three decades. In the text it says "Such an enviornment would liquify an metals" With this being said everybody know spaceships are made of metal and that is why no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. The text also states that " Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation of being a challenging planet for humans to study,despite its proximity to us." In the end scientists are working to find better ways to advance in their technology and spacecraft to be able to continue their journey on Venus.
In conclusion the author suggests that studying Venus is worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Because Venus is somewhat referred to as Earths "twin", Venus has a dangerous climate and dosen't have the resources needed for our living conditions, and Not a single spaceship has been to Venus in more than three decades. With these pieces of supporting evidence this explains the authors purpose in explaining why Venus is a worthy pursuit despit the dangers it presents. | 5 |
7cde36a | Seagoing Cowboys Program
" I need a job. But I don't know what I want to do." Come join a program.
Thereis a
program that is called the Seagoing Cowboys program. This passage will tell you what the Seagoing Cowboy program is, and what you could do if you joined.
If you like animals, or just want a job. Come join the Seagoing Cowboy program. What we do is take care of animals that were shipped over seas. Some of those animals were cows, horses, and mules.That means that you would have to go overseas, but you would aslo get to go to the most amazing places in the world. Including Greece, Europe, China, Crete, and Italy! Not only do you get to go there, but you would get to see the Acropolis in Greece, get a tour of the castle in Crete, and take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. You would aslo go on the Atlanic Ocean and also get to expeirence cool things.
I don't know about you, but ever since I have started this program I have had so much fun! I was working at a grocery store and a bank, but now I do the best program anybody could ask for. I love it and you would to if you would like to join! | 2 |
7cdf8b2 | "Does Electoral College Work?"
Today I am going to write about how electoral colleges work. The Electrical College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of a President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. Do you want to learn more? Then just keep on reading and I will tell you more.
The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. Our state's entitled allotmeant of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for our Senators.
Each candidate running for President in our state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidiate's political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Most states have a "Winner-take-all
" system that awards al electors to the winning presidential candidate. However, Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of "proportional representation."
What have Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO all, in their time, agreed on? Answer: Abolishing the electoral college! They're not alone; according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore- thanks to the quirks of the electoral college- won the popular vote but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the President, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the President. Sometimes state conventions, sometimes the state party's central commitee, sometimes the Presidential candidates themselves. The single best argument against the electoral college is what they might call the disaster factor. Perhaps most worrying is the prospct of a tie in the electoral vote. At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters.
The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anarchronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a President and ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner. The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense. It is the electors who elect the the President, nort the people. When you vote for a Presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Yet this has happened very rarely. It happend in 2000, when Gore had more popular votes yet fewer electoral votes, but that was the first time since 1888. There are 5
reasons for retaining the Electoral College despite its lack of Democratic pedigree
Certainty of Outcome
Everyone's President
Swing States
Big Sates
Avoid Run-Off Elections | 1 |
7cef27a | I strongly believe that the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because teachers never know when their students are feeling down. Also, some students can't talk about their feelings or express them because they are afraid other will make fun of them, and or they don't have anybody that they can trust. If this technology really works maybe it will help with communication and helping others being able speak up, and tell adults what's on their mind.
In the article is says that "mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry" , and this shows that this technology could really tell how you are feeling. It can also tell you when you are faking a smile, and when you are really meaning it. In the article it also says that "the facial expressions for each emotion are universal", which to me means that you can't change the way your face expressions your emotions. When someone's face changes thats when you know how they are feeling, by the way they look.
To sum it all up, I believe that the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. Not everybody can be confident enough, and some can't trust others with their feelings, because they always end up getting hurt, nobody really ever cares about how you feel, and some people just want to know what is going on to make fun of you, and or hurt you. | 3 |
7cf67d3 | When a student is confused in school they are supposed to raise their hand. It's been taught that way since day one. Whether that is followed or not is hard to say. Some students are scared to raise their hand however, as they grow older and mature, they seem to find more courage to ask questions which is the way it has always been taught. Students generally make faces when they are confused, that can be beneficial to the teacher if they're paying attention. A recent computer software has been developed by Professor Thomas Haung that indicates peoples emotions. It was used on the Mona Lisa to get every percent of each emotion on her face. It was suggested that this software be put in schools to benefit students. However, this innovation should not be put into schools because of the varying ages of kids, how much it would actually be used, and the convienence of the schools budget and space in the classrooms.
This computer software that can tell every percent of what emotion on your face is a very fascinating concept but is not the most convienent for pre-school and elementary students. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" it was said a classroom computer could recognize confusion or boredom from the students and then in which change the lesson for a more beneficial class (para 6). If this were to be put in place into an younger classroom it could be misleading. Younger kids have spunky behavior as their minds are still maturing and developing. They might find the software fun and amusing and make many facial expressions which would alter their lesson plan in class unaccordingly. Others may argue that little kids could possibly get bored of doing that every day and eventually calm down about it so then it would be useful. Though you never know when a little kid could find something fun again, it's just that easy and would then again rise to misleading lesson plans for the young students.
If this technology was put in a highschool classroom where students minds have better matured and developed it would be more successful. However, there would need to be a computer for every student and not all schools can provide that.
Some students may even find it uncomfortbale to have their expressions and themselves being watched and analyzed all day. As a result of knowing they are being recognized as confused, they could easily act and prevent their expression from giving that result or not even use them. People can already do the work of this software, friends can tell how you're feeling based on your facial expression (para 5). Also mentioned in "Making Mono Lisa Smile" people use their knowledge to tell whether a politician or celebrity is faking a smile or being truthful (para 8), again proving that people can already do what this software is, just not as precise with numbers. On the other hand, if these computers were installed in schools and became a regular thing, then it could eventually be excepted by students and they would actually use the software to their benefit.
Teachers would find this innovation helpful. They could argue that not all students express if they trully understand material or not. If they had this software it would accurately show them the truth about their students. But students could still refuse to use it which would lead teachers back to square one.
Maybe even before a students first day of school they were taught to raise their hand if they had something to say, it's normal. So let students do that because the computer software that tells every percent of every expression someone is having is unecessary to have in a school because of the varying ages of kids, how much it would actually be used, and the convienence of the schools budget and space in the classrooms. | 6 |
7cf88de | Interplanetary exploration is a modern day project that scientists are making quick progress on. Scientists are fed up with staying on Earth and the natural human instinct for craving new knowledge drives them to explore where no man has gone before. Scientists have tried numerous times to study Earth's sister planet, Venus, but have failed and coming back with no new knowledge about the planet. With recent ideas and new innovations, scientists have carefully and thoroughly thought about every possible danger and how to counteract it. This might cause the possibility of sending humans to Venus.
One of the main reasons we could explore Venus, is that it is refferred to as Earth's twin for many reasons. Venus is roughly the same size and density of Earth. With Venus's orbit in relation to Earth, Venus is often our closest planetary neighbor. Venus also boasts many similiarities that Earth has. Venus has numerous mountains, valleys, and craters, just like Earth. Also, Earth grew and supported many forms of life with the existence of water and oceans. Scientists have found evidence of water being found on Venus's surface which is a good sign. Both planets also contain clouds over their landscape. But Venus's clouds are much different to Earth's clouds, containing sulfuric acid and carbon dioxide, poisonous to humans.
This challenge has driven scientists for years to come up with new or use existing products to be able to study Venus. The atmosphere of Venus has proven to be very hazardous to metal, melting tin and other metals within hours. scientists have come up with a new metal called silicon carbide, which has pproven to last upo to three weeks in Venus's conditons. But this is not all scientists have come up with though, using mechanical computers, they are able to do many calculations that are very difficult for humans to do on their own. These computers were used in World War II using no electronics, but rather a series of gears and levers to do what they needed to do. This has proven that scientists are capable of overcoming even the most challenging of tasks. Using this new and old technology, they are trying to come up with machines or instruments to be able to study the ground from their new aircraft.
With the harsh conditions of Venus's ground and atmosphere, scientists are not able to get a machine to land on the surface of the planet without it breaking or melting, causing them to think of another approach to study Venus. With the idea of how jet passenger planes fly over storms to avoid danger, they took that concept to Venus and will try to create an aircraft that will hover or fly thirty miles above the surface to avoid the danger of Venus's clouds. Flying at an altitude of thirty miles will replicate many condtions found on earth, such as the sea level atmospheric pressure, Earth's radiations, and wind speeds. This will increase the safety of these missions by a substantial amount. These new concept will aid in the exploration of new planets.
Scientists are humans that have a natural crave for new knowledge. We have tried interplanetary exploration for numerous years, but with little ot no success. But with modern day technology and ideas of the past, we have come up with ways to overcome challenges often brought with space navigation. We have come up with silicon carbide, a material capable of overcoming the conditions brought Venus's atmosphere. Venus is Earth's twin, boasting many similiarities between the two. With science quickly progressing with no end in sight, we will inevitably go to another planet, whether nature tries to stop us or not.
We will improvise, adapt, and overcome many challenges brought with space navigation. | 4 |
7cfa897 | The idea of driverless cars is an incredibly hot topic at the moment. Although it may have some downsides, they are out weighed by the good. Becuase of this the idea of driverless cars is a good one. As a matter of fact this idea has and is already being tested. The year of the driverless car may be arriving sooner than you think.
Driverless cars have already became some what of a reality. Many different companies have been working on different ways to make cars that could drive independently. However, they have all either been to costly or the ability to actually make it work the way the car was designed may have been out of reach. But Google has been able to find a way to work around these problems. "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009"(2). These cars are in actually able to drive by themselves but they still require human drivers to take over at certain times. Some may not view this as a huge acheivement but it actually really is. This allows for safer driving and it could possibly cut down on accidents arround the world. This because it would allow for human intervention in emergency sittuations. As well as a way for people to get to there destinations safer without the imediate worry of being to tired to drive or other hazardous driving conditions.
While all these things are great it still has a few down sides to it. For example, "if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufaturer? That is why it is best that these driverless cars are not 100% driverless. This will give people a chance to prevent an accident if their car mualfunctions. Also, some people believe that drivers may get board while wating for their turn to take over and drive when needed. Some manufacturers have already answered this question. As an attempt to keep the driver from getting board, some manufacturers plan on, " bringing in-car entertainment and information systames that use heads-up displays"(8). These display will be instantly turned off when the driver is need to drive.
Driverless cars is a very controversal topic. There are in deed a few down sides to this idea but many people are working to eliminate them. The amount of good that "could" come from driverless is greater than the bad.If we are able to actually work out most of the kinks about these driverless cars, then it would help to cut down on a ot of car accidents arround the world. As well as maybe even boost our technicological capablities accross the board. Then who knows what could be created next. | 4 |
7cfefa0 | The "Face on Mars" is a natural landfrom. It was not created by aliens or other forms of life because there is no proof that it was but there is evidence that proves it is just a mesa or butte.
In 1976 NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling mars when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. It was about two miles from end to end. It seemed to be staring back at the cameras from a region on mars. But scientists figured out it was just another Martian mesa. They were common in that area on mars, but it had an unusual shadow that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.
A few days later NASA unreveiled the image for all to see. The headline said that it was a "huge rock formaiton, which resembles a human head formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth". The authors thought it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. It did.
After that the "Face on Mars" became a pop icon. It starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, and radio talk shows. It even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years.
But some people think that NASA was hiding it as being bona fide evidence of life on Mars. But NASA defenders said "they wish that there was an ancient civilization on Mars". Although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact, photographing Mars became a priority for NASA.
So on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Mars for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. But not everyone was satisfied. The picture of the face was taken when it was a cloudy time of year on Mars, but some skeptics believed that the aliens were trying to hide the Face by using haze.
After that in 2001 NASA took another picture of the face with 3 times the pixel size, so if there was anything the martians used to build it you could see it. What the picture actually shows was a Martian equivelant of a butte or mesa. | 2 |
7d06901 | Dear Senator,
I feel the need to eliminate the Electoral College process of voting and just have a regular election where the President with the most votes wins, as simple as that. Each vote counts as one, and there will be more or less votes depending on the state and its size and population.
Just like Source 2, I feel "The Electroal College is unfair, outdated, and irrational. " "Abolish the electroal college!". When you vote, you vote for "a slate of electors, who in turn elect the President" (Source 2, Paragraph 2). Why can't it just be a regular election where you either bubble your democrat or republican representative instead of being so complicated and misleading. This can get people confused, and get them to vote for the wrong candidate without them even realizing! "Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate? Sometimes." (Source 2, Paragraph 2). In the 2000 campaign, 17 states didn't even get to see the candidates in a campaign ads; they focus on the "bigger" and more important swing-states to win. Each person should count as one, and each state should be as important as the other, just varying in the number of voters they had.
In Source 1, it says how "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress." You're electing electors instead of just who you want for President. To top it off, you can't even control who your electors vote for! So people can vote for an elector thinking that he's going to vote for the Republican party but then he votes for the Democratic party. This process can be very misleading. "Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always.". The disaster factor as mentioned in Source 2 could aways occur.
Some counter-arguments might include the certainty of outcome, and how the Electoral Vote might be greater than the Popular Vote. But at the end of the day, the people are nominating their president, they don't want others to do it for them. The Popular Vote representing our country as a whole with all individual votes added up should be the deciding factor. A tie is almost impossible in that circumstance also, because what are the chances out of millions of citizens the number would be perfectly split in half. If a president appeals for a region, then let them vote for who they believe is the better candidate. At the end of the day, the majority wins. Swing states won't have to be a factor without the Electoral College, and big states are just counted them same, one point per vote. Run-off elections won't be necessary if the highest percentage president wins, even if its not majority.
So, hopefully you see my view on this issue and the Electoral College can be eliminated.
Sincerely,
Gabe | 5 |
7d09ab7 | I am all for Thomas Huang new invation. I think that the FACS is a grate invation we finaly have a way to see how people are feeling just by this computer. How this device works is that the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face, then studys all 44 major muscles. Moving one or more mucsles is called an action unit. After that Dr. Huang relies on Dr. Pual Eckman, the creator of FACS to find out how the preson is feeling.
The FACS software can track facial movements even if your not smiling as broadly. Just when you think that is all it can do it can also identify mixed emotions each exspession is compared to a nertarl face showing on emotion. We humans can also do this, but we would have trouble describing each facial trait. Dr. Huang wants to do a test on Mona Lsa to see if she is really smiling or not. There going to use the software to see if it can tell use if she is or not.
as you can see this software is a grate tool i can see this devise helping use out a lot in the futer. If you are interested in doing this then go look at your self and then ask your partner if he or she knows what your feeling right now. I fell like we should have more people like Dr. Huang, and Dr Paul Eckman cuase the world is changing and we need to try to keep up and not fall be hind. Life is a intresting thing and what you do with it is all up to you. | 2 |
7d0c484 | This is an argument against the driverless cars. They said they are not driverless since you need to drive it when there is too much trafic, in a driveway, out of a driveway, parking, contruction, or if it has a problem with the road ahead. For instince if the car gets in an accedent what would it do since it is controlled by a computer if the computer gets damaged it could go heywire and demolish a building or murder pedestrians or injure pedestrians or it could even make it so you can't controll the car anymore and the computer is just controling the car what happens then who would be in charge of stoping it. That is why i think this is a bad idea my kids could be going on a walk and the computer car could not detect them and run them over or the map on the computer system could say there is a road were it is and it just be a house and if it has to go on that road wich is really a house then it could kill multiple people in that house | 2 |
7d10a79 | In this article called "The Challenge of exploring venus." The author suggested that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author supports his idea well because there are so many dangers that can happen in Venus and its a worthy pursuit, but we shouldn't be scared.
Some of my evidence that can support my claim is that humans will have curiosity on what will likely lead us into many eually intimidating endeavors. By what I wrote here is that us humans will like to know what is going down in Venus, and how its like. Also, in paragraph eight is says,"Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers dn doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." I might conclude that this is trying to say that we should not be scared on the dangers of Venus but we should be ready to meet the edges of imagination. Another evidence that supports this idea is that NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus.
Studying Venus can lead us to the dangers that it presents, but we shouldn't be scared for so many reasons. We never knew what Venus was like because in paragraph four it says that,"Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." NASA wants to send humans to Venus, so they can study whats it like. Like I said when I was explaning the evidence for the claim about how NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. They are working on machines to last long enough up in Venus, so they can see whar its like in Venus.
The author supports his idea well because he is talking about how we should be not be scared of Venus because its dangers. We should be timid of we think of Venus because we don't know what happens in Venus, and us like human are so curious and think about how its like. He also talks about sending people to to Venus so they can study how its like, and by doing that they also want to build machines that last long enough. Then in paragraph seven it says,"Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computer." The temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the pressure of the atmospheric pressure is more than 90 time, and that is what we experience in our own planet.
In conclusion these were my reason on the article called "The Challenge of Exploring Venus." On how we should not be scared what Venus bring and what it has. LIke I said plenty of times in my essay we should only be scared on what we think and what Venus revels to us through time. Also, because we never knew what it was like in the days, and that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 3 |
7d11870 | As you may know, the Electoral College consists of 538 electors, which is a even number. As said in "The defenseof the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing President," that even number can be a result of a tie in electoral votes, but is highly unlikely. But even then it is unfair to those who "like" the system, where as I oppose the votig system. Like everyone, I have my reasons;1) 'Electoral college is a disaster factor' 2) Voters don't vote for the President, but the electors instead.
To begin with my first reason, that electoral college is disaster factor as said in ' The indefensible of the Electorial College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong' the system had a fiasco, as you may call it, back in the 2000 election was the biggest crisis in a centuary. Also in 1960, segregationist in Louisiana legislatures almost succeeded in replacing Democratic Electors whith electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy, so that the popular vote wouldn't have gone to Kennedy. What else has hepened in the 1960s? As you may or may not know, Vice President Richard Nixon, validated only his opponet's electors. With this, the Electoral College has flaws or loopholes making it a disaster factor.
As for my second reason, that the electorial collge is unfair to voters. Electors may not always be faithful to their party, as said in ' The indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong' electors could vote for another canidate if they refused to vote for their party's canidate. Meaning that if a voter votes for a certain elector to vote for a certain President, then their votes probably wouldn't count. Also, because of the winner-takes-all system, candidates do not spend time in states that the are aware that they have no chance of winning them over, but focusing on the 'swing' states. For example, in the 2000 campaign, 17 states didn't see canidates at all and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't see a single campaign ad. Candidates shouldn't just avoid states that they have no chance in, but take that chance.
Even though the Electoral College is unfair and a disaster factor, it also fair in the state department. Smaller states votes area as equal as a bigger states votes, and the electorial college requires a presidental candidate to have a trans-reagional appeal which makes sure that a candidate doesn't just go to a ragion that he knows he will get votes from, but to others that will allow him to gain more voters.
So in conclusion to my knowledge, the Electoral College voting system should be changed for so that the system wouldn't be disfuntional and unfair to voters. Which will make electing a president functional and fair to voters. | 4 |
7d11ab9 | Machines get smarter everyday. It's something most of us see, but may not take into consideration. Think about it. Your search history, your GPS destinations, even your Wifi hotspots. The machines gather information about us to make our lives easier. Most of the times, it's a good thing. They help us by reminding us of things and let us connect to the rest of the world with just a few keystrokes. However, this FACS, would have a major impact in the school system. It would be a terrible decision to implement FACS into the school system.
Don't get me wrong, I love technology. It's improved and become what many consider just a dream. It always us to do many things that we could not do physically. I'd go as far to say that they're smarter than us in a few ways. They give results and they learn more and more about us. To some, that's concerning. To think that machines are secretly learning about human behavior and plotting plans to take care of the world. Most don't care or don't mind. Either way, people have different views on this.
Which brings me to my new point, implimentation of the Facial Action Coding System in schools. The Facial Action Coding System, or FACS, is a profiler. Profilers monitor how a subject works, thinks, acts, and even feels. Scary, huh? Put that into a school system and you may just have found treasure trove of blackmail. Now, I know what some will say. "This system will help us help the students", or "FACS will help decrease school shootings". Those individuals make good points, but there's one thing you have to consider. Human behavior. People don't just cough up how they feel most of the time. To have an eye watching them and judging them will only make them hate it more. It may make people feel worse off than they originally were.
I'll end with this. Yes, the system could be beneficial, as long as it's in the right hands. Privacy is a critical part of people's lives and most like it not to be broken into. To have this system in the school system would be a bad call. Especially high schools. Those are some seriously tough times for some, and pushing those people could result in an event. A very bad event. | 3 |
7d129d6 | The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author suppports this idea by telling the audience how dangerous the planet is, but then gives us interesting and bizarre background infromation on the planet Venus.
The author explains how Venus and Earth are "twin" planets because the density and size are very similar. The author also talks about how Venus is the second planet away from the sun. Then the author talks about how the planet has a thick atmosphere and how the clouds are highly corrosive. The temperatures get on average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The author also tells us that there are erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequeny lightning strikes on the planet. The author talks about even though the planet Venus is dangerous its still interesting to study.
The author explains how fascinated astronomers are by Venus because it may have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. The author talks about how Venus was probably covered in oceans and could have supported many forms of life. Venus has a surface of rocky sediment an dincludes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters.
The author gives us information on ho NASA has a plan, or idea, of sending humans to study Venus. The author adds this infromation in to give his article a little more solid facts about Venus. According to NASA, the air pressure would be close to one of a sea level on Earth which makes it even more difficult for humans to survive on the planet.
As you can see, the author has many ideas that are worthy to pursuit the planet Venus. From the atmoshpere to the temperature, from the geography to the similarites of Venus and Earth, even though highly dangerous to humans, Venus is worth studying. | 4 |
7d1829d | Would you feel safe knowing that you were putting your life into a computer's "hands"? There are many positive and negative examples on driverless cars. I have looked at the negative effects and I have chosen to be agaisnt the idea of driverless cars. I have chosen this mainly for safety reasons.
One reason that I am against the development of driverless cars is the safety concern. In paragraph nine it explains how these driverless cars are currently unsafe to drive in certain road conditions. These conditions may include pulling in and out of locations, dealing with complicated trafic issues, and navigating through roadwork and accidents. As a result, in almost all states it is illegal to even test driverless cars. There are currently only three states in the country that have "limited" use of semi-autonomous cars, California, Nevada, and Florida. The car manufacterers say in the soon future more states will add to this list as soon as the cars are proved reliable and safe. With that said even if they become legal in more states, new laws will need to be added in order to cover liabilty if there would so happen to be an accident. Another concern of mine is, what if this driverless car were to malfunction? Let us say I was in the passenger seat of my driverless car. What if I were to fall asleep?
You've heard the story, now it is your turn to decide. Should you feel safe without the car under your control and in the "hands" of a computer? | 3 |
7d1bcdd | Luke really enjoyed the Seagoing Cowboys program. If you like helping people or takeing care of things thin this is the job for you. The Seagoing Cowboys helped take care of cows,hores, and mules that where over seas. Luke was 18 before arriving in Greece, that ment he could sing up for miliary service. He was on his cattle-boat trip when he signe u for the miliary. They had plenty of food and water to feed the anmials and themselves.
When you are a Seagoing Cowboy you get to travel a lot of places. Luck had been on 19 trips before they discharged him in 1947. If you like traveling then this is for you. They went all the way to China and it took them one whole month. They went to a lot of different places. Luck though all of his trips where very special.
Luck had come a long way since he was a kid. Luck grew up in in the country. He helped his aunt Katie out on the farm. He didn't have the best life when he was a kid. When Luke became a Seagoing Cowboy it opened up the world for him.
When Luke was a Seagoing Cowboy it was much more than an advernture even though he did travel a lot. Luke was very greatful for the opportunity. Luke saw that other countries don't have a lot of stuff like we do. He saw that they where in need. That awareness stayed with him almost his whole life.
Luke didn't just work he had a lot of fun on board. They played a lot of games like fencing, boxing, table-tennis tournaments, games, reading, and whittling made the time go by pretty quick. It was a lot easier to play the games when the animals where unloaded.
He sometimes went to places where war had just ended to help them in need. They also played baseball and volleyball games in the empty spaces where the animals usest to be.
Luke was a very kind harted person. He never though about just himself. He would go back and do it all over again. Luke was a very thoughful person. Tell me would you ever be a Seagoing Cowboy. | 3 |
7d1c31d | If I were in this sigtuation I would defenitly use the claim that aleans are not real in my essay. One example I would use would be to ask him(her) how many natural strange rock formations are their on earth. The only possibal answer would be more than he or her could count. That simpley prooves my point evan more.
One other thing that I would say would be "if aliens made it... why dont they come back to take care of it. If you study earths history you would find that most if not all ancient or religious artifact is protected. If this happened on earth and supposed we do think aliens are real and sufisticsted then why wouldent they go by the same practice. The third point that I would make would be if, they could create a rock form of that size would suggest thst they are revolutionized and would have large civilazations. Yet we have found no proof of any alien cicies or districts.
so in conclusion I would all in all say that my pionts are more than convincing and that he should be the wiser by now. And if he isnt... Too bad for him. | 3 |
7d1da31 | This argument is based on if you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program or if you should not. I will give you the pros and the cons aout this program. I will also give you information on my experiences on the Seagoning Cowboys program. Lets just hope that you will be impressed.
First, you should join this program because it provides ways to experience adventures and visit many unique places. For example, being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure, "it opened up the world for me". Another example is that the cowboys played many enjoying games to pass by the time. These two example both show how joining the Seagoing Cowboys program would be a wonderful experience.
In addition, I feel that the Seagoing Cowboys program could have its bad times. It could be unsafe sometimes like the time I fell off of the ladder and cracked my ribs. Courage is a word to describe this Seagoing Cowboy program, because thats what it takes to be a cowboy. Both of these text examples are giving information on how the Seagoing Cowboy program could be difficult at times.
To conclude this argument, we have talked about the reasons to join the program and reasons on why it could be bad to join the program. You can join the program based on the information that i gave you. I hope that you will consider joining the program. | 2 |
7d1e3a3 | "Venus, somtimes called the 'Evening Star,' is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot." Venus is one of the planets close to earth. Venus is a plant that most often has the same weather as the Earth. The geology and weather present like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning that strikes on the surface. The author of this passage, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
Venus is a good place to study. Many astronomers were fascinated by Venus of how it may once have been the most Earth-like in our planet solar system. In the passage the author states that "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could of had formed any various forms of life." Also at this time Venus still has some features of earth. Some of the features Venus has is that the surface are rocky sediment, they also include valleys, mountains,and craters.
Another point for how Venus is a good planet to discover. Some impressive things that could happen on Venus are "exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. by comparison, systemsthat use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat,and other forces." Also "modern computers are powerful, flexable, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions."
At the end Venus is our sister planet. NASA has been working and planning other ways to aproach Venus. Most of their electronics had been tested and had lasted for at least three weeks. As the author has stated in the beginning that studying Venus is a wothy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Worth the dangers that could happen at Venus there are other impressing things to find and discover. | 3 |
7d2a00a | The author claims that investigating Venus's surface is worth our time even tho there are many dangers there, because Venus at one point in time may have had simliar feature that Earth does such as water, Venus has similar geological traits, and Venus is sometimes the closest planet to Earth making Venus a likely trip.
Scientist believe that one point in time Venus had oceans on its surface along with other life forms such as vegetation and maybe alien life. "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." It would be a ground breaking discovery to man kind if we were able to discover a new form of life on another planet.
Under Venus's thick atmosphere and its giant corrosive clouds, the geological formation of Venus is similar to our planet. Venus has craters and mountains like we do on Earth."The planet has a surface rocky of sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." With such similar features to our home planet it makes Venus a likely option to send mankind to visit.
During Earth's orbit, there are points in time were Mars is the closet planet to us and other times when Venus is the closest planet to us. Since Venus is closer to the sun it orbits faster than Earth while Mars is farther from the sun it has a slower orbit. Since Venus at points in time is the closest planet makes it a likely option to go visit." Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel." With Venus being the closest planet at a given time makes it an ideal planet to study.
I believe the author proves a valid point on why we need to travel to Venus, because Venus could have had really similar features to Earth at one point in time, Venus also has similar geological traits, and Venus is sometimes the closest planet to Earth. With that information given to us by the author makes the idea of studying Venus a worthy pusuit despite the many dangers there are. | 4 |
7d2ffee | During this paragraph the author would talk about how Venus is like earth well the closest to like being earth. For exaple they even called it its twin and talked about how Venus was once filled with ocean. "Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of earth." i think what the author is trying to say from this is that he supports the study of Venus because his or her point of view is that it very simialr to earth and it way of being.
Despite the fact that Venus is dangerous the author gives so much information for example it lets us know how thick its atmosphere. The percent of carbon dioxide it has. The temperature, although everything is dangerous to the human body and there bad weath, erputing volanoes and string earthquakes. Instead of hiding those facts he or she adds them on making it more intresting. All the information that is being given is making you want to study it more even if it dangerous. It shows that he supports the studdying of it and knows the worth and most that goes on.
Last but not least the author gives information abouth the studies that have been done, it informs us about NASA and how it has the idea of sending humans to more indepthy study Venus. Although he or she talked about the great sides of Venus they included the down falls and the things that happen from earthqukes to volcanoes, to oceans to the way a human could live there. They bring up many facts about both showing us that they know the dangerous things. Instead of not using the negatuve stuff he or she pulls it in and uses as a strong defense and brings good things in as well. In conclousion the author is very into the study even if it dangerous and makes it intresting to read. | 3 |
7d34dd4 | How could a computer seeing one's face detect someone's emotion and be accurate? The use the Facial Action Coding System to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is the answer.
The author uses the picture of Mona Lisa as an example.
In paragraph one, the author states, "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." (D' Alto par 1).
Dr. Huang explains how the process begins when the computer contructs a 3-D computer model of the face, including all the major musclues in the model that must move like human muscles.
The author then states, "For example, your frontalis pars lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises your eyebrows when you're suprised; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger." (D' Alto par. 1).
Explaing how the different movement your muscles make can show the different emotions.
The different emotions kids make doing class will be precisely accurate.
However, in a classroom your emotions might vary differently.
A student can look happy one moment and then look bored the next even though they are still happy.
Dr. Huang explains how the facial expressions for each emotion are universal; meaning they can vary.
That is why using video imagery will capture the mixed emotions.
In paragraph four, the author states,"... the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movement- in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa." (D'Alto par 4).
Therefore if your emotions are continously changing in class, this software can detect.
Having this in the classrooms will be more effective toward the teachers and students. The teacher will know when they have to modify their lesson when the kids are bored.
Without this, teachers go on about a topic without doing something interesting to keep the students more alive. This software helps the kids, because if they are bored by a teacher teaching, then what will they learn?
Having this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is both valuable and useful. Valuable in terms, that it will be accurate in helping teachers modify their way of teaching if needed. Useful in terms, that it will help students be more lively in the lesson.
Who would think the faces students made in class can now be detected by their own teacher? | 3 |
7d38751 | Cars and traveling play a big and important role in today's society. They are used everyday by everyone, and are one of the leading causes of death in this world. Driverless cars seem to be a great alternative to driving.
People travel every day whether that be to work, school, or the grocery store, they are always traveling. Imagine having a car that drove for you, that would make people's lives much easier. It would also save a lot of money, Google cofounder Sergey Brin forsees that these driverless cars would use half the fuel today's cars do. Google has had cars that could drive by themselves under specific conditions since 2009. They have driven more than half a million miles without a crash. Think about if everyone got one of these cars, the number of wrecks would decrease dramatically. But as of right now Google cars aren't 100% independent, they still let drivers know when to take over. Tesla has announced a 2016 release for a car that can drive on autopilot 90% of the time. I hate to say it but many of us have seen accidents caused from being under the influence of drugs. If these cars became more popular maybe those numbers will decrease. Some people may disagree with driverless cars but when they could save lives, and minimize the ammount of accidents that happen, im all for it.
I believe everyone should get one of these cars. They will cause less accidents, and be cleaner for the enviorment because they are not using up as much gas. Driverless cars will someday be the new alternative to driving. | 3 |
7d3aad9 | According to the article venus is dangerous, But scientist dont care. they are fascinated by Venus because it may once have been the most earth like planet in our solar system. Scientist has been sending spacecrafts on Venus but no spacecraft has survived the landing. Thats one of the many reasons why Venus is dangerous to mankind. But are them reasons going to stop Scientist ?
"The clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere." doesn't that sound cool? Yea it surely does but that is dangerous to mankind, Who would want to breath in acid? Venus has harmful sections that Astronomers are going to try and over come, they are going to expand their limits and try to learn more about whats in the atmosphere. According to the passage scientist has been testing a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surfce. It have lasted for 3 weeks in such a condition according to the passage. There has been many more projects. Astronomers are not going to give up. there going to try and fight/fix the differences and let nothing get in there way.
Astronomers curiosty is whats going to help us learn about things and planets besides earth. Woudn't you want to learn more about our world even though theres going to be a little difficutly during the way? Maybe one day scientist can overcome these small problems and learn more about the Atmosphere. I think Astronomers are going to take on that challenge. Remember anythings possible if you put your mind to it, and thats what Astronomers are doing. | 2 |
7d3d04f | It is a very complex system when it comes to electing the president. The system is called the Electoral College. Citizens of the United States think that they are 'actually' voting for their new presient but the are not. They are merly being led on by the government but their vote does count for someting. I myself think that we should keep the system of the electoral college because we vote for who we want through the electorals but not everybody agrees on the concept of the Electoral College.
Electoral College is a very boring concept but it is one way how the nation keeps running. In
What Is the Electoral College?
it hepls people understand what the electoral college is. "The Electoral Collge process consisits of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the elctoral votes by Congress." But before the electors vote they have to 'get' their votes from the votes of the citizen on who they want as president. So we are still voting but by people (electors) who base thier votes off ours.
Many citzens disagree with the system of voting a president. From the article
Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong it states that "..according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore...won the popular vote but lost the presidency." How is that even possible? The reason Al Gore did not win presidency was he did not have the 270 electoral votes (thats how many you need to win presidency). Citzens were furious because they want Al Gore as president not Bush. None the less even if the government fixed the so called problems people would always find something they do not like about the electoral college.
So based of everything ny opinion does not matter and nor does yours becuase our nation has had the Electoral College for at least 100 years. Of course people complain that it is not fair but it keeps the nation running. So it comes down to wheather our votes count or f they do not. But what if the United States did not elect the president by the Electoral College or by popular votes how would the president be elected? | 3 |
7d48bb8 | Now that Driverless Cars are coming I really think that it is a bad idea. The author did give us some good information about the car and what it can do without a driver but then yet again it is honestly a bad idea.
First, even if the author said that the car would alert the driver if anything happened that alert could stop workng and it would not warn the driver. The warning from the car can stop working anytime and the driver would not know. Why would they not know? That is because they would not ne focus on the road.
Second, the driver should always focus on the road because anything can happen right there and then. The driver should not be on their phones or anything thing that can distract them from the road. The way that the rules are now we should keep them like that. We can say that the car is very smart but do they see any upcoming cars getting close to them and occuring an accident. I really do not. Thats when the human should focus and be very careful on the road.
Finally, the Driverless Cars are very expensive. When you buy them you do not just buy the car. Some Driverless Cars do come with the left rear wheel and rotating sensor, video camera, four automotive radar sensors, GPS receiver, and inertial motion snesor. The cars will need laser beams to form a updating 3-D model of the cars's around them. But what people do not realize is that all those items can stop working and get ruin then it is your job to repair them as soon as possible.
So now that you see my opinions maybe you should think about the negative and postive thoughts about the car. Always remember the alert can stop working, humans should always focus on the road and lastly the Driverless Cars are very expensive. Always think about yourself and your surroundings. | 3 |
7d4b0c4 | "What's the matter bud?" Thomas says to his best friend, Charlie, as he doesn't carry his huge smile today as usual.
"Oh it's nothing." replies Charlie who's obviously not as happy as he always is. Thomas would sure like to know how is friend is feeling; but he can't because there's no humanly way possible to if Charlie doesn't want him to know right? Well actually he can. There's a new kind of technology called Facial Action Coding System, or FACS, which enables computers to identify human emotions. The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is very valuable. Like in "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, it could be used to show when a kid is becoming bored and let the teacher know so that the instructor could switch the lesson up to grab the kid's attention. Another effective was it could be used would be for it to show how some kids are feeling to limit them getting into any kinds of trouble. And finally it could be used to detect if one student just isn't grasping the matter of the subject that everyone else is getting with no problem. There are endless ways this technology could be used to better a classroom and this technology should be used in a classroom with students.
In the article, Nick D'Alto used a quote from Dr. Huang which was "'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'" In the sense that kids often time get bored in class, hence the reason they have a bad grade or get in trouble in that class, something has to change. Maybe it's the child's fault, but your traditional lesson isn't the most fun. If the instructor could find out what's boring the child and change the lesson to keep the child entertained then maybe the child wouldn't get into so much trouble with that teacher or maybe the child's grade in the class would take a huge leap. Who says learning can't be fun? With FACS learning could be something kids like to do.
In addition to keeping everyone awake, FACS could be used to keep people who aren't feeling too good get better. Everyone deals with things that others probably don't know about. With FACS a student could come into class like Charlie and no one knows about his frustrations so they try to do their normal jokes and games with him. If a student ever comes into class not feeling the best or not wanting to be bothered, FACS could sense that and instead of people messing with that kid or having that kid be bothered, that child could have the option of being away from everyone while the child cools down. That could stop the child from being involved in a physical altercation or any altercations at that.
Finally, everyone knows that all children learn at their own speed. FACS could be used to find out whose stuck on someting that everyone is flying through.
When the teacher is teaching something that everyone but one student understands and the teacher stops for questions, that one student may feel too embarrassed to ask a question so the lesson would go on and only get more difficult as time goes by. Instead of that happening, FACS would let the teacher know what kid that is so that the teacher could reach out to the kid and give them extra practice or even a little tutoring if they need it, that could really be a huge help to children that don't learn as fast as others. Usong FACS to determine that could really translate for the great or good of the grades of students everywhere.
In order to make the classroom a more happy place, a better place, FACS should be used with students. FACS could detect bordem so that no kid is bored enough to drift into space or sleep and miss valuable work time. FACS would be good for keeping kids that are dealing with things away from people that'll trigger them. Also FACS can be used to show weather or not children have questions and need help but are embarrassed to say so. The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is very valuable. | 5 |
7d4b44d | sciencetists say its worth to dicover even more about Venus becuase i could maintane humans in the future. but also give use resources to support human life
Bad things why we shoun't go to Venus is sciencetists say its not worth to take risk becuase it could are human nature becuase of the tempetuares in Venus up to 170 that could cause harms for many humans the are alergic to the sun and it will take years for us humans to travel to Venus since it the second plant on the solar system ti could take us years to be able to reach are piont. also machines can't be able to survive in Venus becuase the heatness and the weather on the planet. it also have a lot of challenges for scientists becuase they still hanve't discover the whole plant on Venus it could still have dangroues things before we go and live in it.
NASA is working on the machines so that we could be able to see what Venus still has for us humns. can it support humans or not.
REasons we we should go so that if earth gets destoyed we could go to a different plant and maintene human life again. it could guve us more human resouces for oilgas and many more. but also Venus has a value for the solar system | 2 |
7d4c87d | The conditions on Venus are far my extreme than anything expereinced on Earth. It has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon. It also has clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. In paragraph 3 is says " On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmosphereic pressure is 90 times greater than what we expreience on our own planet". Despite all the dangers Venus seems to present its self, the author still thinks its a worthy pursuit to studying Venus.
"Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size" said in paragraph 2. Astronmers think that it might of been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. They say it was probably covered with large oceans and could have supported various forms of life. It also has features that are similar to Earth like having a surface of rocky sediment, valleys, mountains, and craters.
NASA has a possible solution to sending humans to study Venus that'll help with its dangerous circumstances. In paragpah 5 it says, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray". NASA is working on other ways to study Venus as well, like simpilar technology that are made of silicon carbide, and going back to using old techngoly.
Venus might be a dangerous and risky planet to explore but it could be possibly done with all this research being done. The author claims that it will have insight to be gained on the planet and also that "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"
said in paragraph 8 by the author. | 1 |
7d4cb22 | I think that driverless cars would be a good idea.
The reason I think driverless cars would be a good idea because they wouldn't have to take gas, you wouldn't have to steer them, you wouldn't even have to have your foot on a pedle, you also wouldn't have to put your hands on the steering wheel and hold them there while you are driving. Driverless cars would dirve themselfs so you didn't have to. Driverless cars might also be a bad idea because something can function out and someone could get hurt really bad. But I still think that driverless cars is a good idea and we should have them. Now if something does go out in it, and you have a wreck or something you might die, or be injuried pretty badly. Think of the positive side you wouldn't have to steer the car because it would that it's self, you wouldn't have to put gas in it because its driverless, you wouldn't have to keep your foot on the gas pedle because the car would move automatically, and you wouldn't have to have your hands on the steering wheel because the car would steer it's self so therfor I think driverless cars would be a good idea. I think I would get a driverless car.
Now that I have spoken what I feel about driverless cars, what do you think about them? Do you think they are a goodf or bad thing? Would you have a driverless car? | 1 |
7d4d397 | Having technology that can read your emotion it's okay and it can help people that don't have friends or don't have any body to talk to. If you need someone to talk to but you don't have anybody, than technology can help you with that problem. If the technology/computer can see your emotion than it can tell what's wrong with you and give you some answer's to you're problems in life. In the same time you should be carefull, because technology can maybe turn back on you and will want you to do something bad that never crossed your mind. If tecchnology is able to read your emotions it's okay but we should also be careful. In the same time that type of technology that is able to read your emotion it's amazing but power full too; because if you are trying to hide something from it, it can tell that you are lying to the computer and also that tecchnology can take peoples jobs. People in the world need their jobs for they can take care of the family. | 1 |
7d50cf8 | The Face on Mars is just a natural landform. Its just a huge rock formation that resembles a human head. It was put out in the public to draw attention to Mars and to make NASA budget increase.
The Face On Mars has become a big pop icon and starred in HollyWood film's,books,magazines, and radio talk shows. In 1998 Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia to get a picture better than the originals but when they did snap the pictures it revealed a natural landform. People who still believed it was an alien artifact was not satisfied they believed alien markings were hidden by haze. When MGS decided to go for a second look they found that in a digital image 3 times bigger you could see if there was objects of any kind or Egyptian style pyrmaids and there was none.
The picture shows is a normal landform common the equivalent to a lava dome that take the form of an isolated mesa on earth around the American West. | 2 |
7d52275 | A Face or A LifeForm
Many people say that we are not alone in this universe. Some people say diffrent planets have secret life forms on it. But, i dont think believe that a face on Mars was created by another life form beside humans. There has been theries for centurys about space, that we are not alone and people from diffrent planets exsist. I dont think so because it there were other life forms out there why havent they made contact.
Space is full of adventure, discovery, and wonder but to come to the realization that there are other life form beside or own. It would change how people think and would change reality forever. They put aliens on movies and telivision for entertainment only not to be taken into content. The face on Mars is just a creation of all the space debry and the astroieds that hit Mars and have sculpted in to resembling a human figure or ( human face).
The face on Mars maybe could have been there for a long time before but, we just didnt descover it till now. People dont know how large space really is. They just know what people till them or what they have discovered, but why would aliens really exsist? Some people say there is life on all planest and we are not looking hard enough.
Even if there were life on diffrent planents why would we just be hearing about it now and not sooner. What the picture actually showa is the Martian equivqlent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West. The people of America and of this great nation dont need to be consirned about if we can defend then aginst an extra terresteral attack. Also, we dont know what knid of weapons they have or if they have powers or anything about them. We don't know there weeknesses or strenths. So, we would be litterally out numbers a maybe out-smarted and maybe out-guned and we might lose that fight to defend the world and out home.
So i dont think it was aliens who did that face. But, the real question is do u ? | 3 |
7d57aaf | The Face on Mars were just made from nautral landforms. In my opition I don't really believe in aliens. I will give you reasons to support why and why I think their just nautral landforms.
Some people believe in aliens and that the Face was made by alliens ,because after NASA unveiled the image for everyone to see it caught the attention of people everywhere. The "Face on Mars" became known everywhere. It became featured in Hollywood flims, appeared in books, magazines, and even haunted grocery store check out lines. Who wouldn't believe the Hollywood flims and books? Everyone beliveved and some still believe the films and books. Be carful what you believe. Sometimes it's not true like the aliens.
On April 8, 2001 MGS (Mars Global Surveyor) drew close enough for a second look at the Face and mars. They had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to the center of the Face. Malin's team got really good pictures using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. In 2001 each pixel had to be span 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in 1976.
Some people were going over the photos and if there was any kind of objects or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks. You could see it. There is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height of the Face.
The Face is a natural landform. I hope you think so now too. | 3 |
7d58797 | I wouldnt go up there to see it or to go on its planet i would send a drone or omething and study the fed the drone give me.THE only reason ill go up there if they give me a strong enough suit to visit and suplys to visit it. in the story they say itss temperature is hot around 170 degrees fahrenheit its not a easy condition to liv in. They say the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than we experience these conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth venusian geology and weather prsent additional impediments like erupting volcanoes and powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus. even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atmosphere. on the planets surface tempeatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit.I think that is a person try to visit venus without the nessary tools they will die from the atmosphere weather and clouds. more importantly researchers cannot take samples of rock gas or anything else from distance. solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed earth levls not easy conditions but survivable for humans.Nasa possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of venus would allow scientists to float above fray.The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar feaures such as valleys montains and craters.
It would be a bad idea to visit the planet.I say that because of all the tuff weather of how hot it is and the lightning. They should just leave that planet alone until they have
all the tools to visit the planet. I think if they visit the planet now they would more likely die from the heat and atmospher around the panet and the clouds around it. They would probably last a couple of hours before they die they should just stick with the research they have now and leave the planet alone. | 2 |
7d5fca7 | In this article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents, according to the passage. I will explain the reasonings and give explanations as to why he made this statement.
Venus is simple to see from the distant some know it as the "Evening Star" but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proven very challenging place to examine more closely. Often referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. One of the biggest differences, is that a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus, with highly corrosive sulfuric acid clouds in Venus's atmosphere.
This has made it seriously challenging to do farther studies on Venus. Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. According to the text, each mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more then a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more then three decades.
Venus can be found very dangerous and very challenging for farther studies, but yet, scientists are still discussing farther visits to it surface, because of the fascination that Venus may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. According to the text, long ago Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. Furthermore, Venus may be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel. The trick really is, making such a mission that is both safe and scientifically productive.
NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in these conditions. Another way scientists are trying to come about is using old technology called mechanical computers. According to the text, they were made in the 1800's and played an important role in the 1940's during World War 2. Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible,and quick, but tend to be more delicate in extreme physical conditions. Unlike older technology. By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made of more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces.
Fighting and working to overcome these challenges presented by Venus has value, not only because of what we gain from the planet itself, but also because of the human curiosity will likely lead us into many eqaully intimidating challenges. | 2 |
7d62b53 | Are you looking for a job that fits your hobbies but can't find it? Well don't worry, being a sea cowboy offers lots of jobs and opportunities, just ask me, Luke Bomberger. You can care for animals, have watch duty, steer the ship, and many other jobs that are needed when being a sea cowboy.
Just take it from me, Luke Bomberger one of the most famous sea cowboys in America. Thanks to my stories you'll know all the possible careers and benefits from being a sea cowboy. First, lets talk about some of the jobs that probably fit your interest. First of all if you want to watch animals, or nurse them back to health if they get sick then this is the job for you! Normally, on just one ship there can be up to 350 animals. That's a lot of sea cowboys feeding, cleaning, and nursing animals. Not interested you say, then you can ask for some extra watch time. Everybody has to do at least one night watch per night and you could do someone else's work, while they clean animals. This job is perfect if you enjoy getting some fresh air. Just don't be afraid of heights! Still not the right job, then you can take over or be the captain. This job is perfect for anyone interested in being the captain of a boat, for a career. You will most likely stay high up, but you can't accidentally fall to your doom, doesn't that sound safe?
Now you've finally picked your career, good job! Now you can look at the benefits of working as a sea cowboy. It might seem boring on the way to Europe, picking up after animals that relieve themselves everywhere, but with the animals gone and the stalls empty you can play games to pass the time. You could just simply play a board game, or maybe set up a ping pong table that you had to move because the chickens kept pecking away at it. Heres another benefit, while your ship is being loaded with food for the trip back you can go sight seeing! You can see the Panama Canal, or a castle on the island of Crete.
This is marvolous, even I myself am jealous of what you might get to do.
You have now seen the great benefits of becoming a sea cowboy. All that's needed now is for you to sign up, be drafted and not only will America thank you, but all the people of Europe will. Bonjour! | 3 |
7d62d5d | Exploring venus sounds like a great idea, in despite of all the dangerous things that are out there. venus can be very dangerous but it has so much thing s that we can learn about and just makes us want it more. Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because venus is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system and because even if it's dangerous we still wanna know whats out there.
Venus is sometimes called Earths "twin." Our planet earth and venus are very alike, Earth its actually pretty close to it, sometimes we're closer to Venus and sometimes we're closer to Mars. In the article " The Challange of Exploring Venus" it says "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." this quote shows how Venus was like Earth before, it had large amounts of oceans just like our planet Earth does. Oceans have a lot of living creatures in them which means that Venus maybe had all of those creatures too." Today Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth.... has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such a valleys, mountains, and craters." This quote shows how Venus and Earth are alike in many features, if Venus has mountains there might be animals that live in there which means that just like the oceans may have living creatures maybe Humans could live in there too. But we still don't know what is in Venus somethings that we do know it's that Venus can be very dangerous.
Venus can be like Earth except Venus can be dangerous and Earth is not dangerous . In the article the author argues that Venus can be very dangerous to explore, many of us have tried but the article argues that " Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world.Each mission was unmaned.....no spacecraft survided the landing for more than a few hours." this quote is showing us how humans have tried to send spacecratfs but not one has come survived, venus can really be that dangerous. The author states "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system...Venusian geology and weather present additional inpediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes." Venus can be really dangerous for humans to actually go in there and explore it, theres too much risk but we keep on trying because we really wanna know what's out there.
in conclusion we know that Venus is dangerous but we still want to know about it. Venus is a worthy pusuit in despite of all the danger because it's like our planet Earth, and we really wanna know whats out there. We should keep on trying to study it, is worth it because maybe and just maybe there could be a possibility that there might be life in Venus. | 4 |
7d65d93 | It would be a good thing to be able to read people emotions because you never know how someone feels. But what if you have no emotion to a topic? Can it read your emotions then?
The Facial Coding System detect what your emotions are. The FCS can determine if you are happy, sad, angry, etc.. The ways it can tell is by your 44 major muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit." Dr. Paul Eckman, a psychologist creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Classify six basic emotions which is associated with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. Even though people show vary degrees of expression such as not smiling it gets compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion) your emotions can still get detected. It's all about the "action units."
So my questions have been answered. You can still see even with no emotion (a still face) that emotions still get detected. All because of one computer software. | 1 |
7d671b9 | It would be wonderful if some computer could read a humans emotion. Sometimes when we feel like we need help we tend not to ask for it. If a person might ask you whats wrong and you feel like lying a computer could help you out in that problem. So many people could be help emotionally.
Reading a students emotion when you are teaching a class is important. You want to make sure that the students are understanding. Sometimes as a teacher we don't know if our students are confused because they don't speak up. It would be a helpful soruce for our student struggling in school.I'm a student and sometimes I don't understand the teacher but im afraid to ask.
If we could read emotions we would be able to help more students. Maybe by reading the mind could prevent less students failing classes. According to the passage "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. This would be a classroom valuable with you. Schools could really benefit from this expecially student who sttrugle in school.
Overall I feel like that technology is very useful
source in relations. Gathering up to see what wrong would be easier with the Facial Actiom Coding system.Let's help students learn everything they can hold on to and we will be celerbrating the victories . teachers could show more and leanr more of what makes a student feel the need to learn without getting bored. let's give it a try. | 3 |
7d69fe9 | LIMITING CAR USAGE
Cars seem to be a major issue of todays time. We run out of gas, cant afford to fill up our tank or have mechanichal issues. People fail to realize the major issues of today. With the abundance of cars driving today, Pollution in the air is at an all time high. "On monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or sffer a 22-euro fine ($31)." This is a small act that people are doing to limit the amount of cars out on the streets and polution in the air. If we had days that everyone rode their bike, or even walked to work we could have a very clean city and air. ''Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five-days of intensigying smog... in China one of the most polluted cities in the world.''
That statement right there goes to show if we limit ourselves to less car rides and more walking or biking, our health would increase and problems would decrease. Of course you need your car to go to the grocery store or mall because you cant just ride a bike there and carry the groceries or shopping bags home but, if you're just going to visit a friend or have casual lunch you should try a different way of transportation.
"As a result, 70 percent of vaubans families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. "when i had a car I was always tense. Im much happier this way."" That statement coming from an outsider who had just sold his car and moved to a car-free city goes to show that life is much better without one anyway. Your daily problems of gas, mechanics and now being able to breathe outside is all coming from a vehicle. There are ways to reduce these problems so I dont understand why people are not making the move right now. The only REAL reason a vehicle is absolutley neccesary is if youre going on a long roadtrip. You do not need one for going down the block. There are many advantages to reducing car use. You dont have to worry about money because you dont have to spend 45 dollars to fill up your tank, 25 dollars for parking or the 500 dollar transmission needing to be replaced.
"parks and sports centers also have boomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new resturants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." Everything that was just mentioned in those few sentences were positive things regarding cars being eliminated from the situation. Most people these days go in there car, go to work then go straight home. If you were walking you can take many different routes and discover places that youve never been to or seen before. They have fixed all of the sidewalks and problems that you could encounter by walking and added in things to make it more joyable. Again there are exceptions to the "eliminating car usage." There is no way we could completley cut it off but we should defintley limit it.
We dont want to completley cut off car usage but lowering the amount of it is defintley something we should do. By doing so we will be basically stress-free with financial, mechanichal and any other issues. We will be cutting off the amount of pollution in the air making the enviornment better for us and everything in it. This is something that has been an underlying problem that was well-needed to be adressed. | 4 |
7d6ac01 | "The Face" Is Not A Face
The 1998 dicovery of, the Face has gotten its fair share of publicity throughout numerous years. This photo that was taken on NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft, as it was searching for possible landing sites. This "face" is nothing but a natural landfrom that happens to look like a face. There are many persuasive and factual reasons to back up the fact that there has been no alien formation on Mars.
First, there has been no real, hard evidence that this human-like figure is actually a face. The article "Unmasking the Face on Mars," even says,"it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face." (Notice, it said likeness.) Just because one article and a Hollywood movie says that this was alien created, doesn't mean it really was.
Also, any natural landforms can look like something it is not. Have you ever looked at a rock or even a cloud and said, "Wow, that looks like a [insert object or name]!" There have been plenty of instances in which something has been mistaken to be someting it is not. For example, The Little Dipper, as we call it, is said to look like a spoon. Does that mean that there is a big, shiny spoon in the sky? Of couse not, so why should we say the same about a formation of rocks on Mars that happen to look like a face.
Lastly, NASA has even confirmed that this is just a natural rock formation. I know this because, NASA unveiled an image of this "face" and captioned it, "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusions of eyes, nose, and mouth." So, this rock's shadows have given the illusion of a human-like face, which leads to the assumption that there is no real face.
You might be thinking," Well, why did the people who discovered this even release the information if it wasn't comepletely factual." This is beacuse of the conspiracy theorists. Think about it , if you would have never heard about this Face on Earth in books, magazines, and radio talk shows, would you have believed it? NASA is a very trustworthy and credible association and if information wasn't released until it was proven true than none of this would have happened.
In conlusion, the Face on Earth is nothing but a myth, until there are reliable discoveries that have declared it real. Since there is no evidence that there has been alien formation on Earth, it is just a hoax. I hope I have given a sufficent amount of reasons to argue that the Face is not a face. | 5 |
7d6d30a | The creation of "smart cars" is new and exciting, but is it safe? Multiple car companies are working on cars that drive themselves. Tesla claimes that they will release a car capable of driving on autopilot 90% of the time by 2016. Also Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020.
Google has had cars that have been on the road independently since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash, so far. Google cars arn't truly independent, they are required to have a person in the car to take the wheel in case of simply pulling in or out of a driveway or complicated traffic issues.
In most states it is illegal to even test the computer driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the Dristrict of Columbia have led the country in allowing the use of semi-autonomous cars. It should be illegal in most states, because it is dangerous. If one of these "smart cars"
were to crash who is responsible? The driver,the car company, or the state? New laws will be needed to cover liability incase of an accident, in these states before the cars are tested.
All of these "smart cars" that have been created, and are on the road still need a person in the car. Why would someone want a driverless car that needs someone in it? All these big name car companies are claming to have these "driverless cars" soon, but how safe is it going to be for states, and pedestrians on the streets? If these "smart cars" are created, states need to make sure that the cars are 100% safe for everyone. | 2 |
7d6ed86 | Wyat Gibson, former scientist from NASA, 1976. Today, spacecraft one has captured a image to what looks to appear as a face. Scientist figured it was just another Martain mesa. "Only this one photo had unusaul shadows that made it look like an Egyptain Pharoh." I predicted that it must have a degree of surpise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion lab when the face appeared on the monitiors.
Some other scientist belived the face was an alien artfact. I snapped a picture ten times sharper than the oraginal Viking photos. I have done lots of reaserch, and revealed a natural landform. I reasched the photo a lot more. After a lot of rearch, I decoved that there was no alien monument after all.
We decieded that we still did not have enough evedience. Perhaps, alien markings were hidden by haze. Still there is no evedience as we continued. After more and more reasch. There is still no alien monument.
We decovered that the picture is acually the Martian of a butte or mesa. They are landforms common around the American West. It's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about that same height as the face on mars. In the end, there was not evedience of alien lifeform or artcraft. What we predicted might not be right, but it's defenitly not a sign of alien life. | 3 |
7d72685 | limiting car usage could be a good thing for some people. only if they like to walk and do fun things with their lives. It is a good advantage because it saves people lots of money .They could have bigger and better things because they wouldnt have to pay a car note, or pay for gas every week. Having a life without a car can sometimes be a bit scary exspecially if you need to do ,or be somewhere in the middle of the night . you may be ill and need a doctor immedialty you wouldnt be able to walk . But lets look on the positive side we do have ambulances and things of that sort so we really dont have that much to worry about. the most important part of this is that we have to be safe. and do things the right way . I think NO cars is a good things saves me more money for shopping and the finer things in life. i also wouldnt have to beg my parents to take me anywhere because i would be my own transportation. | 2 |
7d79b75 | people would say that teachers are the best way of showing students how to get a better understanding on subjects like math, science, etc. Every student is different because, not all students learn the same way. there is away to help every student complete and get a better understanding on every subject. It is the "Facial Action Coding System" that can read the students facial emotion.
When there is a student that is getting bord or upset when a teacher is giving a lesson. The teacher cant just stop what they are doing to see what the student is upset or bord about. If schools allow students to have this kind of technology this may allow students to get a better undersatanding in the lesson. If a student is not understanding the lesson they will most likely lower there eye brows and in towards each other. This shows they dont understand what is going on. This will allow the computer to see why the student is not understanding or bord about. Than the computer will see this and modify the lesson so that the student will understand what is going on.
if a students is learning math on there computer and they are having trouble understanding what they are doing. The computer will see that they need help and it will most likely pull up a easyer way to solve the problems.
Having a school that will allow students to use this kind of technology may end up making it easyer for the student to understand there classwork or even homework. So this will allow the students to get better grades and having better understanding on the subject later on in life. | 3 |
7d7b8ca | Luke is telling people to join. He wants more people. Luke is convincing people to join the Seagoing Cowboys program. He would see and adventure other places.
Another detail about Luke convincing people is to help him go to other places.
When he was going to graduate, soon his life would change. When it was 1945, they saw their seaman's paper. They headed to Greece. When luke turned 18. He could be draft to the military service. By the time he was dischared in 1947, Luke had made nine trips.
Another reason Luke would let you join is he would let u travel with him. It will be a good opportunity. He led international students and exchange visitors for many years. He said it might be difficult for him. It took him time to do everything. he had to check the animals for one hour. He was so tierd. On one night he was a night watchman. Luke had alot of bad days. He had to clean the ship. He was busy the whole time but he was ok because he had food to eat. it was fun for him.
Luke was a kind and brave person. He was really cool. I think he convinced a lot of people to join. It was really hard for him. He had to work and do stuff. He is a nice guy. | 1 |
7d7bf6b | State senator i strongly suggest that you change the electroral speech to an election and these are some reason why you should do so. The elctoral speech has to many drematical erros that can occur and throw the whole election to a unpresidented one. Also the people that vote for a president won't be the one voting for him/her, but a slate of electros. Althought it does have an abundence of flase it does have a certainty of outcome. This could lead to a president that is wanted or was choosen by a tiny mistake that made a huge rupture in events.
With the implimation of the popular vote over the electoral college can allow citizens to express their thoughts on what new leader they would want to run their state. If they would vote on the electors it's not a one-hundred percent chance that they are willing to pick for your choice of president. '"Back in 1960, segregations in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. (so that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually goneto Kennedy". This can occur when the electors refuse to vote for their party's candidate and chooses to vote on another candidate.
Although the Electoral college has many flase that can effect the state drastically, it does have a certainty of outcome. With this it can lead to less dispute over the popular vote. "Almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis". Even if a state is low populated a state can cause a landslide in the Electoral-vote victory in that particular state. Also a greater factor that can occur is a tie which is possible because of the total number of votes which is an even number of 538. Even so they are two types of voting choices that people rather have, it can never be such a voting format that would be able to fit everyones style. | 2 |
7d7c32f | "OTHER_PII, why do you have to bring this up again?" I tried to reason with her, ('she' was my conspiracy theorist sister) we had been arguing again over wether or not the "face on mars" was really that,
"OTHER_PII i'm telling you they hid something from you, the public, and me, too. You may be more like mom with all the brains and being a NASA scientist and all that, but I take after dad and have it within in me to look deeper than the facade the government has put up. That face on mars isn't just a butte or a mesa, it is an alien spacecraft!" OTHER_PII ranted to me, and after only five minutes, I was beyond exausted with her and firmly told her, "You are tired. I am tired, we both need to get sleep or else we will be here all night. We can continue this in the morning, we'll even talk about it all day if you want. I have the weekdays off now, remember? Good night sister, sleep well."
I knew that the first thing out of my little sister's mouth would be some crazy, irrational idea to convince me about on of her theory's, so imagined how surprised I was to hear "Good morning sis." when I woke up to get my morning coffee. Though I was not to surprised to see that the next thing out of her mouth was, "About that thing on mars, the face, I want you to know I will never change my views on it no matter how many facts and statistics you hit me with." feeling relieved she didn't want to argue any longer, I simply said, "Okay OTHER_PII. whatever you want." and that was the end of that. Apparently, even if you are somone like my sister and you've seen the picture confirming with absolute resolution that it is just a landform, you still don't change your views. | 1 |
7d7d712 | I do like the thought of driverless cars. I like it because I would not have to learn how to drive to get to where I want to go. There are a lot of positives about the driverless car like less gas and less crashes. There are some bad things about the cars too. Mostly the fact that you dont drive the car and it can't take you on the back roads.
In my mind I'm thinking that I would not want a car like that. I would not want a car like that because I would like to learn to dive. The good thing is for the people that don't want to learn to drive can get a car like that. I like the thought of this car because there will be less crashes and more responsible diriveing. One other bad thing about the car is if you fall asleep it might not be able to wake you up.
A bad thing is it can't pull into your drive way and it can't stop a traffic light. It's good the car can read that there are roadblocks ahead. In a way it bad because it cant go around it. It's also bad that it can't read there is a crash on the roads. Google needs to fix the problem it has before making the car.
It's good and bad that the car runs on a computer. Good because it car perdict all the thing ahead in the road. Bad because
the computer can't pick up the back roads on thegoogle maps. So, it can't take you home if you live in the country. If google gets the back roads on their maps, or if you can program it to take you that way the cars might work better.
I know I would not want a driverless car that still needs a driver. Most people would probly fall asleep in this car. So, it's a good thing they have a way to keep you awake and alert. It is also a good thing that when the car need a person to take over that it shuts of the entertainment. Other wise people would probly crash more not paying attion to the road. | 3 |
7d7dd16 | The challenge of exploring venus was being able to study it and what all was on it and what could live on it. the struggle of it all was not being able to land any bots on it to adventure and collect evidence of it all. Scientists tried working around it without landing something on it sinse it just gets distroyed while trying to collect data for scientists and hovering something over the planet didnt even work for them. Trying to build a divice to be able to land and last long enough is extremly hard for people for the fact that they have not and cannot land and survive Venus. unable to collect a rock and gas sample make things harder sense they dont know what chemicals are being used against they forces they are trying to take there. I believe that the body of this should be faced not feared. | 1 |
7d860aa | In this article the author is present the posistive and negative aspects of dirverless cars. In this essay i will present the article of "Driverless Cars Are coming"
In paragraph 1 and 2 the author is tell people what is certain about the system of a car an talk about the driverless car. In paragraph 3 the author is explaining a example of
the General Motors created a concept car that could run on a speaicla test track.
"Without the option of smarter roads, manufaturers truned to smarter cars_ but how much smarter did the cars need to be?". The author is make a example for the Toyota Prius. Toyota Prius used the 6 of the technique in the car. which is sensor on the left rear wheel, sensrro on the rood, video camera, four automotive radar sensor, a GPS receiver and last one is intertial motion.
In paragraph 6 to 7 the author is talk about the technology of the car and detail about the car history. next praragraph the author
write about the driver thinking and the callegenge of the automation. Last two paragraph the author is write about the law of the dirver.
In conclusion I think driverless cars is a good choice to buy it and drive it.If there is no any problem. | 2 |
7d8ddf0 | Dear state senator,
I personally believe that we should stick to and continue the idea of the Electoral College. For one, there are trusted electors in the Electoral College that are trusted to vote for the right candidate. Secondly, there isn't much that can go wrong in the Electoral College. Last but not least, by electing a president of the United States through popular vote, the right person may not be elected to be president for our country.
To start off, there are trusted electors in the Electoral College that are trusted by the parties to make the right vote for president. The Electoral College is a system that was created by the founding fathers created in the Constitution. When voters go off to the polls most have the thought in their mind that they are voting for their next president when they really are not. In the Electoral College there are 538 electors, which ever candidate gets the majority of 270 electoral votes wins the election. In source 3, the passage states "When you vote for a presidentisl candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors". The electors that are in the Electoral College are selected by a certain party and the party trust that the person will vote for that certain party's candidate. With this process, the candidate that ends up getting elected is more likely the right candidate for the president spot.
Secondly, when using the Electoral College there ins't too many things that can go wrong. Most people that choose to go against the Electoral College would say that "with the Electoral College its not really our choice when we vote because in the end the electors from the party vote for the president". In source 2, the passage states "Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote." If a tie with the electoral votes is to ever take place, the House of Representatives would handle the election and state delegations would have the final vote for president. Also, if a tie does take place then the Senate would vote for the vice-president.
Last but not least, if we switch to the popular vote election process then the right president candidate may not always be elected. This point can go against both sides. The side that supports the Electoral College may say "the people may vote for a certain candidate because of his color or race". The side that supports the popular vote system may say "when we go out to vote it doesn't count towards anything because of the electors in the Electoral College. So why are we even going out to the polls to vote?" Also, with the Electoral College there will not be any run-off elections. In source 3, the passage states "The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast".
In conclusion, I believe we should keep the Electoral College system going so we can have a more fluent election process. For one, there are trusted electors in the Electoral College that the parties trust to make the right vote. Secondly, when using the Electoral College there isn't too many things that can go wrong with the election process. Last but not least, if we switch to the popular vote election process them the right president candidate may not always be elected. Senator I hope that we can continue the Electoral College election process | 4 |
7d943e5 | Is it a good idea to have driverless cars? For me I don't think we should have driverless cars. For one it will be more dangerous. Second you will have less knowledge of cars when you think the car just drives by itself. Last you won't remember what to do and you'll panick when danger comes. That's why I think we shouldn't have driverless cars.
First, I think having driverless cars are really dangerous. One reason I think of that because you will not pay attention and you think that technology will take over. Technology isn't always the best source to trust. You can never trust technology because there will always be an error and the car will not work properly and the manufacture will be in alot of trouble for all the harm that has happen.
Second, you will have less knowledge with your vechile, when you think the car can do it all by theirselves. You will get to the point of being lazy and not worrying when danger comes because you won't worry about getting into danger when the car knows what to do. You will always rely on the vechile to do things for you and won't care what happens and you'll just blame it on the vechile and say it wasn't your fault even though it was part of your fault.
Last, you won't remember anything you learned and you will lack knowledge. When that comes you'll panick and be confuse when you don't know something. When danger comes you won't know what to do and you will panick and get into an accident. Most drivers won't care about safety because they will think its a driverless car that they don't need to know anyhting it will do eveything for them.
That's why I think we shouldn't have driverless cars. For one it will be more dangerous. Second you will have less knowledge of cars when you think the car just drives by itself. Last you wont remember what to do and you'll panick when danger comes. Do you really think we should have driverless cars? | 3 |
7d9484d | For a long time, scientists and engineers have been working on developing driverless cars. Although these cars could be useful, they are not safe. These driverless cars could cause many problems on the roads. Scientists should stop working towards making these cars because they are unsafe for everyone.
Driving is dangerous enough as it is. We can not put all of our trust into a machine and expect it to keep us safe. Humans can not rely on a machine because it will not have the senses and reflexes that a human has. In the article it says, "These smart road systems worked suprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." These cars are supposed to be able to take over for the humans driving but there is no possible way to record every road on the Earth. Even if that was possible, new roads are being built every single day. The system would have to update quite often for the cars to be safe and functional.
People today will argue that the new cars will save fuel and money. The new driverless cars could save a lot of money. With these new cars, humans would not have to spend money on drivers training and things of that sort. The article says, "The cars he forsees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world."
Yes, these cars could possibly save money and fuel. No, it would not be worth risking lives by using these cars. By using these cars we would be risking our lives. Unpredictable things happen everyday. We never know when a pedestrian will be walking in front of our car or when a driver will suddenly slam on the breaks. A car would not be able to sense when these things are going to happen. We as humans have senses to predict these things. We can not replace that with a machine. The new driverless cars are unsafe and impractical.
The new driverless cars will do nothing but make our society more dangerous. Scientists need to stop making these cars. They will put many lives at risk. The driverless cars will be harmful to everyone. | 4 |
7d9a963 | Limiting car usage will help decrease pollution, increase physical exercise, and relieve stress. All around the world, but mainly in Europe suburben communnites are limiting car usage. This has become a popular to do in Bogota, where communties are having mini car-free holidays.
The less people rely on cars the more walking they will do. In the passage "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in botoga" Andrew Selsky explains "Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday. This supports that limting car usage could have a healthy benefit. More exercise for people also means less stress.
Walking is a stress reliver. This is why limiting car usage is physically and mentally good for people. Andrew Selsky supports this claim by saying that "It's a good opportunnity to take away stress and lower air pollution".
Limiting the usage of cars can reduce the amount of pollution on earth. In the passage "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", Elisabeth Rosenthal informs us that "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent In some car-intensive areas in the United states". Limitting car usage is like killing multiple birds with one stone. | 3 |
7d9d6fe | As you may know many people believe that a aliens have created this "face". I am here to inform you that it is not. First of all if aliens did create it w ewould have seen some in the picture/s, secondly there just isn't any/enough evidence to prove the accuisation, and lastly we, as NASA have plenty of evidence that this was not created by such cretures.
First of all there is not way that this face was created by living creatures. If they did we would have evidence like seeing forms of some type of homes or just the creatures themselves should have shown up but indeed none did.
Like in the passage "Unmasking the Face on Mars" it includes "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!" But in fact there was nothing like this noticable in the close up photograph. The text also includes "that it was a natural land form. No monument at all."
Secondly, people with these conspiracys have little to no evidence that there could be any living life on face/mars. They wouldn't stop with their theories so NASA took it into consideration and went out there again, even though it is beyond hard to find it.
But it was on a sunny day. Still, there was no sign of living creatures nor aliens. However In the passage it states "Some people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars-Evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists." Which I could see why some people would believe that NASA would want to hide amazing information like that. They could think that the people of Earth are not ready to quite that out yet. Then again thats just a bunch of non-sense. If scientist did find another place where living creatures could live, that would be a big discovery. Too big to even hide.
Lastly NASA has a lot more evidence to prove that it is jsut a natural landform other than a hidden alien planet. Like one thing from the article is "A few days later NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption noted a huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illision of eyes, nose, and mouth. The authors believed it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." Also the author includes "Scientist figured it was just another Matian mesa, common enough around Cydona, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like a Egyptain Pharaoh." So there is much more evidence to comply with NASAs theroies than the conspiracys.
In conclusion its pretty obvious that this is just a natural formation made to just look like a human face. The evidence makes it a clear choice. So this "face" is just a landform and we all have to come together and learn how to accepted what it gives us because no matter what its not like we can change it. | 4 |
7d9fdd6 | Driverless cars are an amazing step to the future. It's taking a huge leap into a new decade of technolgy. People no longer would have to worry about hazardssuch as, reckless drivers, dumb drivers, or drunk drivers. People could finally see their dreeams from their favorite televison shows or movies unfold into a vibrant new reality. Driverless cars should continued because of their level of safety, making the driver more aware of their surroundings, and their advanced technology.
Driverless cars provide an excellent amount of saftey, at least more than people realize. Without a driver in full control and leaving it up to the car to naviagte it's way down streets you eliminate or reduce the risk of countless saftey hazards that are caused by people. For example, you wouldn't have to worry about driving through an intersection while somone else runs a red light and crashes into you. This is due to the car's "Dubbed LIDAR, it uses laser beams to form a constantly updating map of the car's surroundings." This makes it almost impossible for someone to crash into your or them. Another saftey risk that diverless cars help reduce is weather related risks. Due to the advancement of sensors they can help respond to the danger of skids, rollovers, ice, and sleet.
Another reason why driverless cars should be developed is because they can tend to make the driver of the car more aware than ever. A huge problem with traffic today is texting and driving. BMV annouced the idea of "The Traffic Jam Assistant" which in order to even keep the car itself going the steering wheel has special touch sensors that make sure that the driver keeps their hand on the wheel at all times. Driverless cars aren't giving the car full control, becausethe physical driver of the car still has to drive through construction sites, around accidents, and maybe even park. This requires the driver to have to remain assertive at all times. New features from GM and Google make this easier than ever by vibrating the seat, flashing lights on the windshield, or even the car annocuing the it's time for the driver to take over. Regular cars today don't even do half that, only bluetooth texting and calling.
Another reason why driverless cars should be produced is due to their advanced technology. Google enabled Toyta Prius' to use "postion eleminating sensors non the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera on the review mirror, four automoive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor." which takes a car to a whole new level of transportation. Hands free driving couldn't be boring either, because manufactuerers are finding bold, exciting way to bring entertainment to cars such as data, wifi, dvds, and with the way tech is for these cars the options are only limitless.
The world is always evolving and everchanging, and as humans we need to adapt to these rapid changes. What most people thought of the future is quickly becoming our present. Driverless cars are only the first step into a new decade, a new way of life. Cars today just can't simply meet the needs of tomorrow.
Driverless cars should be produced because
of their level of safety, making the driver more aware of their surroundings, and their advanced technology. | 4 |
7da697d | You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program! You should join it because you get to help others and animals. Also it not just a plus for them it is one for you too. The plus is that when you travel to help others you get to see the ocens all the time and beautiful sights! It is an opportunity of a lifetime if you ask me! If I was old enough I might what to think about being a Seagoing Cowboy!
Luke's claim was a great claim! Instead of working in a grocey store and a bank he became a Seagoing Cowboy! Even himself he said, '' It opened a whole new world for me'' He helped animals and more when the World War Two happend. He recovered their food supplies. He went accrosed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and the Pacific Ocean twice to help people affected by World War two, that would be a sight to see.
When you are a Seagoing Cowboy you have a responsibility to help animals and more! But it can also be dangerous crossing the oceans all the time. If you want to be a Seagoing cowboy you have to be brave and courageous! You need those traites because if that was your job you would'nt want to be nervous or afraid all the time.
Luke had too be brave he had to have a great outlook to kept doing what he was doing, And you can too! His point of veiw was strong. He went on 9 trips and that is the most of any Seagoing Cowboy! He also had a cargo of 355 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them! He even cracked his ribs, but he is ok. Over something small but he was brave enough to keep going because he cared for the animals and he loved his job.
You should become a Seagoing Cowboy for sure! If you like animals and travling this is the job for you! You can have so much adventure you would'nt even know what to do with it! This generation needs to carry on with the Seagoing Cowboys! To help animals and more! One day we will need your help more than ever! We need this to keep going with the Seagoing Cowboys! He even know himself it was an opportunity of a lifetime. | 3 |
7da8223 | I think the reason why they have advantages of limiting car usage cause all these changes people who have stooped car commuting as a result of the recession may found less reason to resume the habit...that differnt thing are converging which are suggest that we are witessing a long-term cultural shirt.
another reason is that if that pattern persists they believe it will have a benfiicial implications for cabon emissions and aslo the environment and they aslo they sayed it might have a negative implicatins for the car industry. and because the cash-srapped americans could not afford new cars and the unempolyed weren't going to work either and young people decreased by 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.
my last reason is that they had demographic shifts in the drving poulation suggest that the trrends may have accelerate it the percentage had drop while older people are likey to retain there license as they age. Aslo like cellphones and car-pooling apps has facilitated more flexible commuting arrangements and they had reserachers had pondering a fundamental ques:Has America passed peak drving? | 2 |
7dab4be | The article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus"
is information about Venus and how they are trying to explore Venus. The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents and how well the author supports this idea.
The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the danger it presents bceause it is a challenge to explore Venus.A quote from the article says "A thick atmosphere of alomost 97 percent cardon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere".It also says "On the planet's suface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet". This means it is hard for them it explore Venus. This is how the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite dangers it presents.
The author supports this idea by telling information of how challenging it is to explore Venus. The artiale has information about they are still exploring Venus. In the article is says "Many researchers are working on innovations thst allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus". This is how the author supports this idea

7dad651 | The Seagoing Cowboys
Many people know, and many people don't know about the Seagoing Cowboys.
In the ecxerpt, Luke was one of these.
Seagoing Cowboys are for anybody and everybody.
In this paper, there will be many details describing why Seagoing Cowboys are for everybody.
There are many details to describe the greatness of being a Seagoing Cowboy.
One detail is because if you are one of these people, than you get to take care of a bunch of poor animals.
A few of these animals are horses, young cows, and mules that are being shipped overseas.
You would also take care of people.
Some things that they would do are help their food suppliy animals and more.
Not just for the people, but for the countries that were left in the ruins.
Another detail is that you get to have a great time while you do it.
Luke for enstince, got to hang out with his other cowboys and have fun.
They would play base ball, vollyball games, table tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games.
They did these things to help pass some time.
The would also sometimes be able to go sight seeing.
Some people think that being a Seagoing Cowboy is dangerous.
Well, there not completly wrong.
Although being a Seagoing Cowboy can be fun and adventurious, it can also be dangerous.
In the ecxerpt, on Luke's second trip he had to be a watchman.
On one rainy night, he slid down the wet slippery ladder onto his back.
He shot feet first toward an opening on the ship.
Luckly, there was a small strip of metal on the edge which stopped him from ragging vigourusly into the wet and dark Atlantic Ocean!
After that he couldn't work for a couple of days because he had a few broken ribs.
Yes.
Everything in the paragrapg above is true, although, this only happens every once in a blue moon.
In the excerpt this didn't happen to any other of Luke's cowboy buddies.
So yeah it can get a little rough out there, but it only happens very rarely.
People have alot of fun joining this program and they always have a good time while they are here.
As one can see joining the Seagoing Cowboys program is for anybody and everybody.
It Is an amazing and exiting feeling once you know that your helping animals and helping people affected by World War ll. | 3 |
7dc1904 | There's always that new thing that comes out and everyone decides that since everyone else is using it that they should join onto the bandwagon. There trying to invent cars that are driverless but they still will need assistance in certain areas. There are cars now that are able to be driven with assistance and they're perfectly fine. Making these cars is a cool idea for physically disabled people who can't necessarily drive, but for people who can drive and aren't physically disabled, it's just laziness.
I think the development of these cars isn't all that great for people who aren't physically disabled. People now, are lazy and they think that since they're coming out with cars that drive themselves, they can just be potatos and sleep while the car takes them to their destination. I, personally, don't think that's a great idea. These cars should be sold, when they get invented, to people who are physically disabled because they need more help driving than anyone else.
If they make these cars, something can go seriously wrong with the car if someone bought it. People could die from these cars if they go out of control. Driverless cars' systems could mess up and something could go seriously wrong and the company who made that car could get sued. Like it says in the passage, "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009" meaning that if someone bought a car from Google, and something messed up and Google didn't explain the conditions to the buyer of the vehicle, Google could get seriously hammered with thered money. Companies would be losing millions and millions of dollars if these cars were to mess up.
These cars being made should be limited to very few per state. The people of the vehicles that buy the cars should have a 10 year warranty on the car. If something goes wrong and it results in death or injuries, they should get all money back and the company needs to pay for funeral expenses and hospital bills. The amount of cars per state should be at most 15 cars but they should be spread out among the state.
In conclusion, these cars should be sold to physically disabled people. People buying these cars and the vehicles going out of control could result in death and injuries. Limiting the cars per state would be a good idea. Basically, I think these cars shouldn't be made. If they do get made and getting sold, it should be sold to only physically disabled people. | 4 |
7dcb253 | The Facial Action Coding System, is a system that can read expressions of humans. Whether they're lying, sad, mad, or happy. I think it would help with crime and school.
The uses of the Facial Action Coding System would be helpful because it'll make things so much easier with crime and school. In crime the police would be able to use this technology against the accomplice and the thief. It'll be helpful because it would be able to tell whether the thief's lying or not. this could be helpful in many different areas as well such as schools and jobs even sports.
School would be nice to have a Facial Action Coding System because it would help with cheaters and thieves. Schools have many cheaters during tests. They're sneaky and really annoying. It'll just make things easier in school because students wouldnt want to cheat anymore because they'll know that they might get caught. Other reasons why is if a student is lying to the teacher about understanding the lesson or the chapter because they're embarressed of it. The teacher could just use this piece of technology to see whether the student is actually understanding the lesson or chapter.
What I think about this piece of technolgy is that its great for many things and that this could possibly make think so much easier in the world. | 3 |
7dcfc80 | Although it seems tempting and futuristic in theory, driverless cars would be a headache legally and financially and grow Americans accustomed to technology taking over everyday activities even more than it already is. There are too many details that factor into who takes the blame for a car accident. Who is at fault for the accident is usually one driver or the other, and adding the vehicle to the equation as a culprit if it were to malfunction would make it that much more difficult to come to a conclusion.
Deciding who takes the blame and foots the bill for a car accident is already a legal and financial nightmare for those involved, and implementing driverless cars regularly would result in the car manufacturers and the drivers pointing fingers at each other and may drag out the legal process even more and put the drivers through more grief. Who untimately decides who takes the blame? Regular, driver required cars malfunction everyday and it is difficult even then to come to a conclusion. The passage states that new laws would be needed to cover liability in the case of a car accident involving driverless cars, which would require more funds. It seems like this is creating more problems than it is solving.
Modern technology tends to take over regular activities in our everyday lives, so much so that we can almost be replaced at the touch of a button. Having a sense of control and manual operation is very important. It's a matter of pride, and there's not much pride in having our computers do everything for us. According to the text, the cars would have features that tell us when to take over and operate the vehicle to execute a minor maneuver. The driver would need to be alert anyways. Advocating for awareness on the road, only to invent something takes over all operation is a bit of a condradiction. Driverless cars would only aid in the progression of an era in which man isn't really useful for much anymore. Man makes technology, not the other way around.
There are too many semantics and things that could go wrong with driverless cars on the road. Americans should stick to cars that they fully operate to ensure safety and legal ease if something were to go wrong. Growing used to technology doing everything for us is not healthy and is not something we should be proud of. | 4 |
7dd5c0d | Facial action coding system
Facial coding symstems cant find out what every body feeling are because people can fake them. It states in the text "we could find out what someone feeling are just by looking at the in there face expression". It aslo state in the text "we human can perform this same cauculation everyday". Sceince trying to prove people emotions but us humans can figure that out our self. The facil code can only tell how you feeling by smiling and making faces humans can tell faster if a person is fake smiing or real smiling then what the computer can. Facial code can only detect some feeling like happy, suprised, angry, digusted, fear, and sadness. Think about it sceince is great and improving but so are humans we geting smarter. Imagine this you need a computer to find out some one else emotions. Humans can figure this out our self. Facial coding can only find out certian emotions not all we can find out more emotions then what a computer can, and we know more emotions then what the computer can read. If the facial code work think about how expensive this computer cost we will have to pay to figure out people emotions when we see them and look at them everyday. With computer it states in the text "most human communication is nonverbal including emotional communication so computer need to under stand that too notes Dr Haung". It also states you can probably tell how a freind is simply by looking her in the face. With that imformation we dont really need facial coding system to tell how we feeling. Imagine if these computers worked If it did people would be using but not everybody could afford to get those computers. Humans are smart who ever thought of facial coding sytem need more facts, because people can tell how you feel in a matter of seconds when they look at you. Facial code can be a waste of time and money you can just figure it out your self without a computer. Think about this aslo humans can found out more felling then a computer. A person can just tell you a computer cant you have to make faces and a machines have to read them when you can just tell a person how you feel. | 3 |
7dd795f | On May 24, 2001, scientists took their third photo of what had seemed to be a Martian Mesa, which had seemed to not look much like a human using their 3D camera to take a photo of it.
Look, as someone who's been a scientist for my whole life, and only researching on Mars features, I think I would know if there were any aliens on Mars. There have been a few signs of volcanic activity, and volcanoes on earth have formed something the exact same height. So I believe that a random volcanic activity is what has caused this Martian Mesa.
Besides, on April 8, 2001, it was proven by other scientists besides me that said it was a mesa, and there is on in in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. Which is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa abount the same height as the face on Mars.
So if you really think that there is aliens on mars that created that then you are just absolutely crazy.
I have been researching mars my entire life and have found no tracks of an alien species, because if I had, I would have told you about it the second I knew. So if you really want to know what caused this Mesa, it was volcanic activity. | 2 |
7dd8cbc | Some people believe in the supernatural and in the paranormal. Others on the otherhand dont. Then there are people that believe in aliens and in various life forms on diffrent planets. If we ask the question "Is there such thing as aliens and if so how do we know?" In hollywood there has been many movies made about aleins and about other life forms in the galaxy (ET, the Men In Black series, and Indipendence Day). The reality is that we don't know if there are really aleins, we just have faith in the unknown.
The people that believe aliens exist had a feild day over the recent discovery by NASA in 1976-2001 by the Viking 1. The viking 1 found an astonishing rock form that took the shape of a humans face. the first thing most people said was, "There is alein life on mars!" These people could be right, we have been serching for dozens of years for other life foarms, and its the perfect time to find a breakthrough in science and in astronomy.
To others the belief of the face, found on mars, made by an alein is a hoax. It is just a story for the public to stay entertained. The face on the surface of mars is just a rock and it is made by natural movement under and on the surface of mars and not by a life form such as an alien. In the article" Unmasking the Face on Mars" the author says, " Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." The face in mars brings apn no new information to astronomy because there has not yet been any proof of any life on mars.
The faith we have in this "mission" is more faith than we have had regarding new creatures in the deapths of the sea. When we think of ailens we see big eyed weird headed creatures, but how do we know? The answer is that we dont. We have no assurence that there are aleins and they look and talk how we believe they do. There are manyh possibilitys on how landforms made the face such as the hardening of lava, tectonic plates, astroids or other rocks that entered Marses atmosphere,or it could have been made by the rotaion of mars .
Over all the idea of aleins makes a good hollywood movie, but it doesn't make a good reality. As Mr. Garvin says, "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same hight as the Face on Mars." Until the day we physicaly see another life form, we won't have any further helpful scientific discovery regarding aleins. | 3 |
7ddb665 | The author suggests that studing Venus is worthy for many reasons. Those reasons are how simular Venus is to Earth, it would be the easiest planet to visit, and it wold be the safest planet to study.
In the passage it states "While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantge point of earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closly." Venus is dangerous to explore,but Venus seems fascinating to study.
Venus is very simular to Earth. In the passage it states. "Astronmers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth- like planet in our solar system." Venus is much like Earth. Venus could be coverd with oceans, and also have various forms of life." It would be interesting to see if or what forms of life Venus could have.
Another reason why Venus would be worthy to study is it would be the easiest planet to visit.
Venus would be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given to the long time frames of space travel." The value of returning to Venus seems indisptable, but what are the options for making such a mission both save ans scientifically productive?" Not only would Venus be the nearest option for a planetary vistist, but it would also be the safest.
NASA is thinking of the safest way a human could study Venus. The passage states "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientist to float abouve the fray." It would be like a vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above Venus.
The author states many reasons why Venus would be interesting to study. Venus would be hard to eplore, but working on studing planet Venus, we could make it work and see how fascinating Venus really is. | 3 |
7ddf11d | Should new technology be shut down before it has a chance to prove itself? Then the driverless cars should be developed and permited for use on public roads. As common technology improves and computers get smarter, sensors get more accurate, and technology becomes more reliable, the driverless cars stand more of a chance against the roads of today. BMW already has a driving assistant that can drive at low speeds like in traffic jams. However, most cars are never completely driverless and still require a skilled driver to take over when the going gets tough. But soon enough will they be ready to use anytime, anywhere.
The current technology, used to make driverless cars a possibility, is good enough for easy going roads and still rely on a driver to take overat times. In the passage it states, "Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own". This points out that as time goes by and things move along in sensors for safety, things in the driverless catagory are getting more accurate to prevent mishaps. Driverless cars are also helped out by the fact that they can get to the point of being able to drive far more accuratly that any human driver, but it may take some time for technology to reach this level of accuracy.
Semi-driverless cars are a thing that can just be in the backround to aid drivers in situations and provide them with a way to get away from the stress of traffic, making them better drivers. In the passage it states, "In 2013, BMW announced the development of 'Traffic Jam Assistant.' The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph". This show that some car big car makers are transitioning to driverless or semi-driverless cars very soon. Large automakers like BMW have a huge reputation that they need to live up to. They wouldn't risk that on something that could cause many issues later on.
Most lawmakers are against the use of driverless cars on public roads because of a safety concerns, but the developers have said that anything that exists today are still not entirely drivereless and cannot handle most things that apear in driving. In the passage is says, "...but so far, Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues". This means that things are not perfect and still require a driver behind the wheel. If everything worked perfect, the driverless cars would be the best drivers on the roads today due to their inceaced accuracy and speed at which they can make decisions.
Driverless cars should be allowed to operate on public roadways. The technology behind them, once perfected, will provide the safest cars avaliable today by avoiding the crashes. Times change and the laws should be changed to follow time and the new technology that follows. Even though the newest technology isn't the best right now, it should be given time to grow and mature into the technology of tomorow to provide the safest driving experience. | 5 |
7de9381 | Dear , State Senator
I think that they should keep our despised method of choosing the president. The way we choose our president every 8 years is okay. Nothing is wrong with they way we change our presidents. The electoral votes has done a great job with no complaints. The way now has been going for a long time and they shouldn't change it.
The electoral college consists of many electorals. They consist of 538 electorals. Majority of the electoral votesare 270, which is required to elect the President. Under the 23rd Admendment of the Constitution, the District of Cloumbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state on purposes of the Electoral College.
Each canidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors.
Afte the presidential election, your governor prepares a "Certificate of Ascertainment " listing all of the candidates who ran for President n your state along with the names of their respective electors. The Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential canidate in your state and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in December of the election year.
Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but forr aslate of electors, who in turn elect the president. If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for [John] Kerry,you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democtratic electors pledged to Kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election,they would go to Congress and Kerry would get 34 electoral votes.
It can be argues that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candiate who has no hope of carrying their state-Democrats on Texas,for example, or Republicans in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked up by popular vote.
Sincerly,
PROPER_NAME | 1 |
7deac98 | Luke Bomberger reasons to join were. He was working two part time jobs at the grocrey store and the bank and. It was a opportunity of a life time so he had to take it his life was just begning When his freind wanted him to join.He was only 18 whe he was drafted to be a seagoing cowboy.
Luke also made fun aboard with when they unloaded they played fun games like. Baseball, Volleyball ,Table Tennis tournements , Fencing , Boxing , Reading, Whittiling and alot more.But they also had hard work to do like the dangers of the sea. One day luke was night watchman he had to check on all animals every hour one night he fell and almost landed in the sea but he cought. Himself before he did but even though he was happy to be alive he suffered an injury from cracked ribs.
Luke is more than Mr.Bomberg he is a hero and opend up the world to other people. Around the world so that's why Luke wanted to become a seagoing cowboy. | 2 |
7dee746 | Venus is called the "Evening Star" and it's one of the brightest points of lights in the night sky. Venus is the second planet from the sun. It has been often refered to as earth's twin. It's been over three decades since a spacecraft has touched down on Venus. The carbon dioxide level is at 97 percent, and their are clouds of highly corrsive sulfuric acid and the average temerature is 800 degrees in fehrenheit, and the atomospheric pressure is 90 times greater than our planets. This environment would crush a submarine even when its accustomed to diving in the deepest parts of our oceans. Venus also has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in the solar system even though Mercury is closer to the sun. And the weather presents errupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on it surface. Venus once was the most Earth-like planet in our solar sytem that could have supported various forms of life like Earth. NASA has a possible solution to allow humans to study Venus, they will have to where we could hover 30 miles above the landscape so it'd be at sea level and the temerture would be at 170 degrees fehreheit, it won't be easy conditions but they are survivable for humans. They will be limited from what they can see and get. Others are trying for a more simplified approach by making electronics out of silicon carbide, which can last 3 weeks in Venus's conditions. Another one is Mechanical Computers which goes back as far as the 1800s and then played an important role in the 1940's during World War II. They made calculations by using gears and levers and did not require electronics at all. Modern computers are powerful. flexible, and quick but they are more delicate while a system made out of mechanical parts can be made to be more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces. | 1 |
7df2309 | Driverless cars are a negative aspect in the near future. Most people buy a vehicle so they can be in control of where they are going, how fast they're going, etc. Personally i would not prefer a machine taking me places all day. Driverless vehicles may have a technical difficulty which could result in an injury, or worst case scenario, a fatality. Not only is it endangering the operator and surrounding individuals, but also the manufacturer due to reliabilty regulations.
In reality, driverless cars is a cool topic to think about, but are they completely independent? The answer to that is no, well at least for now. Driverless vehicles use a bunch of different sensors, lasers and computers to figure out which way is which and to understand their surroundings. Although the programming of these smart cars remain quite complex, they still lack the ability to handle situations such as backing out of a drive way, going through construction zones, and what to do if there is an accident ahead. You might be thinking "So what happens if the vehicle doesnt know what to do?" If a smart vehicle doesnt know what to do in a situation, it allows you to take over, thus making driverless vehicles not completely driverless. Don't worry though, the vehicle alerts you in multiple ways if there is an issue in which you need to take into consideration, such as blinking lights on the wind shield, the drivers seat vibrates and talking to you through the speakers. The vehicle only pays attention if you pay attention, they have sensors in the steering wheel to make sure you have your hands on the wheel at all times, and a camera above watches you to make sure you keep your eyes on the road.
The driverless vehicle can also be very dangerous. Almost one hundred percent of the time, machines/computers have some sort of mishap or technical difficulty quite often. Some may be worse than others but most of the time they always malfunction. So why would you want a possible death bound machine taking you to your everyday day errands? Supposedly that is a risk people are willing to take. They should sop with the production completely and stick with the modern day transportaion.
Having a smart vehicle drive you around all day without having to invest any effort at all would be heaven, but it is just not possible right now. Some time or another the operator will always have to take over because smart cars are unfortunately not smart enough. driverless vehicle is false advertisement. They should be titled "Assisted smart vehicle" or something of that sort. If they are going to continue manufacturing these vehicles then they should at least keep them off of the market until they have worked out all of the flaws.
Driverless vehicles are a good idea, but remain a complete disgrace to the world of transportation. Some people actually enojoy driving, and these machines dont allow you to do that. Driverless cars also propose great dangers to everyone in them or around them. Although they can be helpful to some people such as disabled individuals, we should stick with modern day transportation. | 5 |
7df2dbf | In the article “Driverless Cars Are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. In my opinion there are more negative aspects than positive ones. So i believe these cars are a bad idea.
I believe this way for multiple reasons. For starters they arent even fully driverless. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills.." So whats the point in buying a driverless car when you are still the one driving it? There isnt one so why bother. Also they're not 100% safe to all pedestrians and others so in some states they're not even legal. "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars. ". Do you really want something that can put others in danger? I would surely hope not.
Im sure others would argue that the cars are safe,better on gas, etc.. but there are to many downfalls to put these cars on the road. This is why in my opinion these cars are a negative aspect to the world, and should not be on the roads. | 2 |
7df7949 | Reading a students face so that robots can choose whether to change the lesson up and make it subtible for their emotions shouldn't be done. The people should learn to be taught like they always have been. It has worked well enough and we dont need robots doing jobs for us we should do it our self and leave robots to science clubs. If we start here we may find more replacements for more jobs to make us even lazier which then will drop our ability to do somethings. We shouldn't have everything go our way anyways somethings arent meant to be fully pleasurable to all people.
However, this science might be used to make better video graphics for more entertainment such as television, computer science, and video games. We could use this recourse to help create better safety object, or use to make more help for the disable to maybe fix a human. If we can manipulate the face, we could try to manipulate the body. Better movies could be made and maybe even cut down production cost and time. In that aspect it would be helpful to our society,
Perhaps it may even be able to detect lies in a person for the law enforcement to find out if someones lieing. With this we could stop wrongly prisoning someone and get the right culpret put away. These all of course are just suggestions not saying any of it could be done. The claim in paragraph 7 suggest that the machine can detect what exact muscles in your face are moving. Which helps may claim on saying it can help a disabled person. It would all be done for the greater good of helping in a medical emergency.
The medical use of this machine could most likely go on and on for a while. There are of course other use of this machine. But, using this machine for the use of helping people enjoy everything they do in life should not be one of them, it's not right. School is ment to be a learning session not a thrilling session. In paragraph 3 it explains how the machine can detect and make a 3-D model of the face. Putting that to the use of robots to make things and also do small task could be helpful.
The way all this works may all seem as one large enigma for some. But, if we incorporate this to our lives maybe we could make ourselves just a little bit smarter. Make our life just a little bit easier and hopefully improve the normal way a human acts. All we have to do is kindle the small spark of the beginning of this.Computer science may help our everyday life within the near future, its all just hoping it works. | 4 |
7df9a1f | Venus is very hostile and would be very hard to live on. its the hottest planet in the solar system and ita atmosphere is 92 times stronger than Earths. Living on the surface of Venus would be impossible but like the author states, living 30 miles abpve the surface might not be so bad. It would e the only option if we want to live on Venus but theres a pretty good chance it could work.
One thing the author does very well is that the author does a good job of supporting the the idea of studying Venus even though its a very dangerous planet. He stronlgy suggest to study Venus ans eventually get us to live there. Paragraph 4 says "If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface? Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This shows that even though Venus is very dangerous, scientists still love Venus and really want to learn more to eventually getting to live there above the clouds. And it proves that the author of the article was right about pushing to study Venus becasue thats exactly what the scientists think.
Another way the author does a good idea of supporting how Venus should be studied more is by explaining how NASA wants to send people to Venus to study it more and to continure to learn about Venus. Paragraph 5 says "(NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape.......At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth zlevels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." The author proves how humans could stay on venus to learn more about it and study it way more. The author proves that living abouve the surface and clouds would be way easier for humans to do because the surface is too harsh.
In conclusion, the author did a very good job of supporting the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. Sure Venus is a very harsh and hostile world, but that is mostly on the surface where the harshest conditions are. Its way safer above the clouds and that is where humans could study Venus more. | 4 |
7dfccab | The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers it presents in the article "The Challenge Of Exploring Venus". The author presents this idea as the main idea of the passage because Venus is sometimes called the evening star. This point is the one of the brightest in the night sky this makes even easy to spot for amateur stargazers to spot. This statement is misleading because it is actually a part of our solar system second planet from our sun. This star is great from a distance but it is a very meaningful cloud draped world. This planet may be bright we have sent many human organized spacecrafts never survived more than a few hours. This gives a Venus a good persuit but it dangerous.
The reason for this danger inspite a good discovery is the thick atmosphere filled with 97% Carbon Dioxide blankets the most part of Venus. Clouds of sulfaric acid in the atmosphere which is highly corrosive. The author creates a great danger of being on this planet by giving us details on what is highly destructive in the planets atmosphere. Studying in Venus may be worth it for the data but very destructive and harmful to the human culture/nature. This creative image in my mind is giving me a wild estimate of how it is like to be on the planet Venus. The creation of Venus may be from the atmosphere crosion and that is why it is so important people from th human to participate in the visit of Venus.
I would say the conclusion of this article is the image that the author creates in my mind of the worthy persuit also the destruction it could cause because of the corrosive atmosphere. The author supports the main idea really well with the content and details in this article. He makes it really interesting to create an image so horrible but make it were you beleive that the human race should want to go there. This article explains and gives ideas that tell you that you would want to risk your life there but also it would be hard to go there because of all the critical things that are on Venus. | 2 |
7e01920 | looking at Luke's point of view it would be a good thing to be a Seagoing Cowboys.
One reason why you should join the program is that as what is said in the article is, "UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas."
Someone who wants to help people and animals would want to sing up.
One details form the article that supports Luke's claimsis as what Luke said, "But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventur for Luke Bomberger.
It opend up the world to him.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity," he says.
"It made me more aware of peoeple of other countries and their needs."
Over all if you are somone who likes and wants to help people and things this is what you need to sing up for.
It can as said in the article, "It opened up the world to him." And it can do the same for you. | 2 |
7e02485 | Driverless cars can be the next big thing in the world. There are many ways how technology could imrove in a future. Just imagine how esier it's gonna be for you to not drive a car when you tired, or you don't have to worry about drunk drivers, or people who driving over the speed limit.
In example these cars would know how to drive and take you whatever you want while you texting or speaking on your phone. They would know the speed limit so speeding wouldn't be possible. You wouldn't have to worry about car accidents.
Secondly, as started in the article, these cars would use half of fuel of today's taxis and ofer far more flexibity than a bus. So many people complain about spending so much money on gas. Gas is realy issue but with these cars you don't have to worry about because these cars not only would save your money but also be better for enviorment.
Lastly, we need improvments in our world. You see on the news a lot of accidents involving cars. For an example, car crashes, people geeting hit by the cars, or drinking and driving are a lot of problems. Having these cars we would change our future by saving so much lives.
In conclusion, these cars could prevent accidents, stop drinking and driving, tale less gas, and improve our future. After hearing those reasons how could you not support driverless cars? Advancing to driverless cars could be the great thing for our world. | 3 |
7e05e3b | I would join this program because I can help people in needs and I could travel and see things that I wanted to see a long time ago I could travel all around the world all day every day of the week. I like to support Luke for being brave to go out in the bigh world he just got out of high school and he only lives in a small town were very few pepole live. That is the reason i would like to do that program see u next i hope you like my opion.
I support Lukes claims because they are very useful for the activty that he is duing i personnaly support Luke for caring because he didn't have to help people survive.
Luke is a very brave person and i support him for that i like Luke if he was ral or if he is i would like to meet him in person to say how much he helped those people he is a very good person to others.
I would join this program to help Luke and save lifes I really like Luke he seems like a very helpful person and very succesful in life he didn't give up on school or those animals or the people who needed him to help and they probaly thank him for what he has done.
I like the fact that the program teachs you resopnsabilty in life how you can't just think about your self and think about others to and be helpful to others and that is just what Luke did he cared for the other people and not just himself and he cared for animals cause if Luke and Don wouldn't have saved them animals they would be dead or extinct. | 2 |
7e06b0b | To the senator of our state,
The electoral college makes a big impact on our voting system. However, it needs to be changed or even abolished. The manner in which the eletoral college funtions is not fair to the public. By the time you've finished this letter I hope you'll have taken my suggestion to mind.
For one the electoral college makes voting feel unvalidated. It should be the public themselves that choose the president, not a signifigantly smaller group of people. This was the case in the 2000 election, when Al Gore was not elected even though he had a popular vote of 60 percent. This gives many people the mindset that if their votes will be overuled by the electoral college, then that gives them less of a motivation to vote.
This brings us to my next point. If the electoral college is abolished, than more people will want to vote. Now, the public's opinion is just as important as the college's in our current system, but there would most deffinately be a increase in the number of votes if this system was deystroyed. What drives people to vote in the first place is that they want their opinion to be heard, so the electoral college is preventing their opinions from being heard.
Another reason to abolish the electoral college is that I don't think that many people know it exists in the first place or at the very least know how it works. If more people were given the explanation from these articles, they would probably feel the same way; that their votes no longer mean anything by the time election day comes.
To conclude, the electoral college is an outdated concept in our federal system. It should be abolished so that the public will have a greater sense of purpose when they vote. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my suggestion. | 3 |
7e072ba | People come up with calcuations everyday, if its hard or not it is a natural thing that happens. With upcoming advances in technology you are able to come up with calculations you would've never thought possible. An example is how a computer thats given a complex algorithm can scan somebodys emotions! It's crazy to belive your computer could tell if you were happy or sad at a moments notice. The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable.
This technology would give another view on someones feelings. For example if a kid was feeling down or lonely but didn't give off the impression than you could find out for yourself what the true feeligns of that individual is to help them if needed. "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry."
A computer was able to put all that information together to show how the person is feeling and revealed some other emotions going on that nobody else could've seen. This technology will be able to find the negatives throughout kids who don't like to show it so that they can be changed by it.
The process of calculating someones emotions is told out to be, "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." This tells that the computer is creating a computer modeled face that is 3-D and contains everysingle major muscles that construct a human face. By doing this the computer can calculate, along with psychologists, movement of one or more muscles in the face which is called a "action unit."
The use of this technology to be able to distinguish someones inner emotions is definently a valuable thing to have throughout the classroom. This article stated multiple reasons and showed evidence on how this technology would be incredible. Some could disagree and says its wrong or that it would not help anything but the possibilitys of what it could accomplish if done correctly and if the information and calculations give are fully accurate than this tehcnology would prove to be a changer in how the adults might take steps to view how a kids mind works or to how a teenage group in school could be helped if they are depressed and didn't have anybody to talk to.
The kids who are sad and don't want to tell others could really get help from other people by not having to speak up and tell their emotions but their emotions could be calcualed and if it looks like the kid needs help than you can do so without either making him worse in the end or having too ask around on who has the emotion sadness. | 4 |
7e09846 | The Face: Alien Artifact or Natural Landmark
Do you think that the " Face on Mars" is an alien artifact or is just a natural landform on Mars? Well, in my own personal opinion I believe that it is a natural landform because, in 1998 NASA went back to Mars, and took 10 pictures to get the perfet shot. I also believe this because, landforms are common around the American West. Although, some my think the picture is an alien artifact, it is not because NASA went back to Mars with an even better camera and, took even more pictures of the Face.
First of all, I believe that the Face is a natural landform because, in 1998 NASA went back to Mars, from their 1976 expidition, to see if the conspericy theories were correct, and they weren't. In the passage it says," And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the origninal Viking photos." It also says,"
the image first appeared on a JPL wed site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." I used these sentences because, they prove that NASA is corret, there wasn't any alien activity.
I believe that the Face of Mars is an natural landform because, landforms are common around the American West. The passage says," What picture actually shows is the Martian equivialent ofa butte or mesa- landforms are acually common around the American West." I used thi sentence because, it shows that the landform wasn't a once-in-a-life-time sort of thing, you see them quite offten actutally. That is also something that people who don't believe NASA never take under consideration.
Some people may believe that the Face is an alien artifact, but in all truthfulness it is a natural landform. I say this because, in 2001 NASA got some amazing cameras to take the best pictures that they could possibly take to prove themselves right. In the passage it says," Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution." I used this because, it proves that NASA has worked really hard to get high quality photos of the Face.
In conclusion, I believe the Face is nothing more that a natrual landmark on Mars because, NASA went to Mars to get more pictures, after their mission in 1976, in 1998. I also belive this because, landforms are common in the American West area. Although, some may believe that the Face is an alien artifact it is not because NASA got high qualiy photos to prove it 2001. What do you think the Face is? | 4 |
7e0aebb | I think driverless cars are a bad thing because it can lead to more accidents. If the car drives it self then the driver may think it ok to pay less or even no attention to the road. These cars may provide a safer alternitive to gas powered cars but it not safer for the driver.
People may think that these cars are safe and will prevent most accidents but on the contrary, these cars can actually cause more accidents. What if they malfunction, what if something breaks and the car dosnt stop at the light. These cars are not safe.
people will be more intised to text and drive but people must still pay attention to the road whilst useing these cars. these cars still need some human help. these cars need alot of work before being put onto the road.
all in all these cars need more work before being used. these cars may cause more acidents and more deaths. people wont want to pay attention. | 2 |
7e0b6af | THE ADVANTAGES IN LIMITING CAR USAGE ARE VERY DRASTIC. IN THIS NEW APPOROACH STORES ARE PLACED A WALK AWAY, ON A MAIN STREET, RATHER THAN IN MALLS ALONG SOME DISTANT HIGHWAY. ANOTHER POSITIVE ON PUTTING LESS TIME IN YOUR CARS IS THAT THE POLLUTION LEVELS WILL DECLINE VERY MUCH SO. CONGESTION ON THE STREETS WENT DOWN BY 60% IN FRANCE AFTER 5 DAYS OF TESTIFYING IN SMOG. "THE SMOG" WHICH IS BEJING,CHINA WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE MOST POLLUTED CITIES IN THE WORLD. WITH LESS PEOPLE AND COMMOTION IT LEFT THE ROADS CAR-FREE AND DEVOID OF TRAFFIC JAMS. THE MAIN GOAL ON PEOPLE USING LESS OF THERE CARS IS TOO PROMOTE ANOTHER WAY OF TRANSPORTATION INSTEAD OF SOMEBODY USING THIER CAR.
IF PEOPLE WERE TOO USE LESS CARS THAN IT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPURTUNITY TO TAKE AWAY STRESS AND LOWER AIR POLLUTION. IF PEOPLE USED THERE CARS LESS THAN THE COMMUNITY WOULD HAVE TO CREATE A PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE TO BE SAFE ON WHICH MEANS MORE SIDEWALKS FOR THE KIDS AND ADULTS THAT WOULD BE USING THEM. RUSH HOUR WOULD BE NO PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE LESS PEOPLE ON THE ROADS BESIDES ALL THE TAXIS AND BUSES. RESTURANTS WOULD BE INPACTED GREATLY BECAUSE ALOT MORE PEOPLE WOULD STOP ON THERE WAY HOME FROM THE JOB TO GET A BITE TO EAT. IF THE POPULATION KEEPS GROWING THAN THAT MEANS THE POLLUTION WILL TOO AND SO WE HAVE TO MAKE A STOP AND BETTER THIS EARTH BEACUSE BEFORE WE KNOW IT WE WILL BE BREATHING IN TOXIC GASES AND DYING! SO HELP SAVE THE EARTH AND DRIVE LESS IN YOUR CARS PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF US ALL! | 2 |
7e0cc6b | Can you detect a happy person to an excited person would you want to detect if someone has mixed emotions about you well "Making Mona Lisa smile" does that for you.
This computer software can recognize emotions, which was innovated by professor Thomas Huang.
The development of the computer software is a certain pleasant choice because it can detect mixed emotions, can detect trait easily, and it can bring a smile to your face.
The computer software can detect mixed emotions, Dr. huang says that there are many emotions in this universe but with the video movements Mona Lisa can " by weighing different units, the units can be identified mixed emotions , by comparing agai nst a neautral face." saying it can detect mixed emotions by taking it slow with the detection doing it by unit.
The Mona Lisa can also detect faces really easily but there is a process first the Mona Lisa consturcts a 3D computer model face there is 44 major muscles and that must move like a human muscles the movement is called action unit. Stating that its worked on the musclesof the face.
This software brings also a smile to your face. The Mona Lisa can detect when you are sad or happy whenever you are on a computer and it can help you modify the mood you are in. It can change you expression on your face so you can feel better when on the computer.
The compter software innovated by professor thomas huang "Making Mona Lisa smile" is on the excellent idea category becuase of the reason it can modify your mood, can tell when you are having mixed emotions and also it tells you quickly what your trait is. It will be a treat knowing that this idea can recognize someones trait just by a computer and your muscles moving to the expression you want it to be in . | 3 |
7e0f98e | Human curiosity can be a dangerous but also can lead to ground breaking discoveries. In the article "The Challenge of Exploring
Venus", talks about how the "Evening Star" has great value and there is much to learn from studying it, despite the dangers that come along with it. The author supports this idea becuase he gives readers prime examples of everything that could go wrong by sending a spacecraft to Venus to study it. Although the author also gives us alturnitives for learning about this planet and maybe even inhabiting it some day.
Humans have spent many decades descovering new planets. Each robot that is sent to space took time, money, and countless hours of perfecting it to best fit those planets conditions. In paragrapgh 7 the author compares an average phone to a spacecraft being sent to Venus. "Imagine exposing a phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin", This is a good example because people now are very familar or some even attached to thier electronics. The author knew that people would understand just what would happen to a rover by making the comparison of the dangers.
Planets in our solar system never fail to fasinated the people who grauduated with a 4.0 GPA. Scientist believe that Venus was an Earth-like planet many years ago. In paragrapgh 4 it states "Venus was probably covered with large oceans and could've supported many forms of life." This is an important detail becuase it shows that scientist will never want to stop fininding new things to learn about. Also in paragrapgh 4 the authors states, "The value of returning to Venus are indisputable". This is important becuase everyone wants to see the experience happen despite all the risk. Scientists will always find a way.
Fighting to beat the harsh conditions of our neiboring planet, there is still much to learn about Venus. The fight for knowledge and the crave for no more curiosity will be the thing to push humans over the egde to concure every mile of our solor system. Yes, it takes time and money. But humans have not failed to break the limations. | 4 |
7e123c1 | There are many advantages of limiting car usage. Decreasing the amount of time citizens use personal motorvehicles positively impacts the environment and the state of mind of people. The lack of driving personal cars is becoming more widely accepted in several countries for different reasons. Vauban, a suburb in Germany, is an experimental district testing the lifestyle that does not use cars. Paris banned driving for environmental reasons, and Bogota decided to try it out too. Also, it is a trend in America for the purpose of saving money and because there are other convenient options.
The decrease in fumes from cars is very beneficial to the environment. People and organizations are making drastic efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. According to paragraph five of "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars," twelve percent of greehouse gas in Europe is caused by passenger cars and fifty percent in some areas of the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities because emissions from cars contributes to half of the pollution in America. In the Article by Robert Duffer, "Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog" he describes the event that Paris had to declare a ban on half of the drivers because the large amount of smog that lingered over Paris. Colombia even has a day dedicated to being free of cars to reduce smog and promote alternative transportation. All of these events show the severity of environmental problems caused by cars and people making efforts to promote a better environment.
Also, a decrease in personal motor vehicles causes people to have a better state of mind. Heidrun Walter states, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." With a car comes a lot of responsibility which leads to a lot of stress on a person. Not having a car is one less bill to pay and thing to take care of which for many people is a better way of living."It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," stated Carlos Arturo Plaza on car-free day in Bogota, Colombia. The car free day has also promoted other things to bloom in the city such as parks, sidewalks, and restaurants that people really enjoy. According to Elisabeth Rosenthal in her article "The End of Car Culture," her children have other priorities than recieving their license because they have other things they would rather focus on that they enjoy more. All of these things promote people living a healthier and happier life.
Overall, limiting car usage is a "win-win" situation for everyone. Decreasing fumes and the stress of a car causes the environment and people to be happier. Promoting public trasportation or other ways of getting places is better for everyone. It is a growing trend all over the world, and for a good reason. A lack of fumes from cars will clear the air, and clear the minds of fellow citizens. | 4 |
7e1bf39 | The use of the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to students in a classroom.The system can be really beneficial. For example, in paragraph six it says, " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts." Most people may suggest that the system might be false or that there is no way to read emotions with tehnology but there is a way. In paragraph three it states that the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face, using all 44 major muscles in the face.
There is different technology used to ensure that the outcome emotion is correct. For example, video imagery tracks the facial movements and each expression is compared to a neutral face. In paragraph three it says Psychologists, Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS, has classified six basic emotions: happiness,surprise,anger,disgust, fear, and sadness. It can be helpful when trying to see if students are actually learning or are just staring at the words, not retaining anything. Dr. Huang predicts that if the system can recognize if you are bored or confused then it will be able to modify lessons to make the student interested again. Therefore, making a better leaning experience for the students.
In conclusion the FACS is beneficial and valuable to students in classrooms. By using video imagery the system can track the facial expressions could determine whether a student is confused or bored. | 2 |

In 1945, World War II had ended in Europe.
Many contries were ruined.
UNRRA hired the Seagoing Cowboys.
UNRRA hired them to take care of horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas.
In August 1945, they had gotten orders to go to New Orleans.
That day they arrived, the Pacific War had ended.
In 1947, Luke had gone on nine trips, the most a Seagoing Cowboy has been on.
It took him about to weeks to cross the Alantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States.
It also took a month to get to China. When he cared for animals during the crossings it kept him busy on the trips.
Alough the sea can be dangerous, he liked it.
On Luke's second trip, he was a watchman.
He had to keep eyes on all the animals every hour.
On a rainy night, he acidently slide down a slippery ladder on his back.
He got super scared, his heart raced.

7e27e0f | In the story the author gives us reasonable decisions on why we should go to Venus. It forms like earth and its clled the Earth? twin sister. The author provides a lot of information. One of them states ¨
may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago,Venus was probably covered laregley with oceans and coul have supported various forms of life¨ this cold very well be a lot like earth. There are sea level just like earth and there ¨ familiar features such as valleys ,mountains,and craters.¨These areall the same thing that Earth has,It also says that this Venus could have very well had ocean covering all of it.
The atricle states that they are going on missions and gettin machines to go and figure out why Venus is so much more life-like Earth. The nNAtional Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is trying to do visits with humans to see if they can live there Becuase it states that ¨ iNot easy conditions, but it is survivable for humans¨which very well means that we can live there for a long period of time. They are doing so ich reasearch on this planet becuase they are worried of Earth very well not being here one day.
This could go both wasy this could very well be a successful mission or it could be a very dangerous and unsure mission. That are traking research and countinuing finding more ways to make sure that humans will not have any problems while living in Venus. When they have everything solved they will send humans and see how their bodies will react to the way Venus makes them. Never know this ight be the next great discovery that NASA wil make happen and save all of us. | 2 |
7e2d45b | In many parts of the world, cars are used on a daily basis. People use their cars everyday to get to work or any other place they go. These people should probably consider limiting their car usage. There are advantages to it and it can be beneficial.
The limiting of car usage can be helpful to them and their city's environment. I think that the people should limit their car usage because it can lower air pollution and air pollution is one of the biggest problems many cities or countries in the world are facing. This is because those citizens use their cars too much and they don't limit how much they use it.
On source 3 a businessman from Bogota, Columbia says that its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution.
In addition, citizens from every state and country should limit their car usage because they don't have to worry about traffic. These citizens should walk, take a bus or ride their bicycles to where they go.
It can also save them time and avoid the trafficjam in the streets and it might help them get to their destination faster. Source 3 says that
Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car-free day leaving the streets of the capital city eerily devoided of traffic.
More over, citizens should limit using their cars because in some countries around the globe many people are cooperating and taking the advantage of limiting their car usage.
In some countries from Germany, there are families that do not own cars. On source 1 a media trainer and mother of two said that when she had a car she was always tense and now she's happy the way they are car free. In the city of Paris, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the global city . The usage of cars have created smog in different countries including Paris. In source 2 it says that motorists in Paris with even numbered plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a $31 fine.
In conclusion, people from all the countries and cities of the world should take the advantage of limiting their car usage. It can benefit them by avoiding traffic if they ride their bicycles or walk, spending money on gasoline and get to where they need to go faster. Another advantage would be to avoid air pollution to the environment and city and help making it a better place by being a great and considering citizen and limit the amount of car usage. | 3 |
7e2f7ab | The Seagoing Cowboys started shortly after World War Two ended in Europe. Most of the countries were ruined. To help the countries, forty-four nations joined to make UNRRA[the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration].
The Seagoing Cowboys had to take care of the animals, such as horses, calfs, and mules, that were shipped overseas. Luke joined the Seagoing Cowboys with his friend Don. They arrived in New Orleans on August 14,1945. The Pacific war had just ended when they got there.
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you get to see some beautiful cites, and help people. If you like animals, you should become a Seagoing Cowboy beause you spend all of your time with animals. If you want to serve in the military, you can be a Seagoing Cowboy, because Luke turned eighteen before they went to Greece and his draft board told him that he could just keep on being a Seagoing Cowboy for his service. If you like animals too, that would be a win win!
If you have a lot of animals, being a Seagoing Cowboy would be like being at home, but at the same time being on vacation. I will say one thing, if you are allergic to any animals that you might have to take care of, don't join. If you are allergic to the food or the ingredients in the food, don't feed the animals that need to eat that food. If you can't be around it, just ask if you can have a different animal to take care of so that you can still help without having an allergic reaction. If you are a person with no pet allergies, this would be a perfect job for you.
When you are on the boat, it won' t be all work and no fun. Luke found some time to have fun, so I'm pretty sure that you can have some fun too. Luke said that the cowboys played some sports like baseball, volleyball, and table tennis. They could read if they wanted to just sit down, relax, and read a good book. They played some other games just to keep them busy.
I would have to say that being a Seagoing Cowboy would be really fun. I would be able to go places and see thing that I have never seen before. I would get to help out, and I like to help. I think that they should have something like this all around the world. | 3 |
7e3cc3a | My position on driveless cars, would be that the negative aspects is that the car would be that the car could have a few minor mess ups and that if the car wasnt being controled by a human then the people in the car would be helpess if there was somthing to go wrong wit the car. The postive effects of having a car that you can drive without actually driving iot would be that that would cut down on driven and driving, texting and driving , and also being on the phone while driving you can multitalk in the car while you drive, There would cut down on the death rate of car acciccents of that nature because people wouldnt need to be focused about whats going on around them if they had a driveless car that could drive them around without having to take any precautions. But the position that i think is better for drivless cars would be that they are more of a negative effect even tho it has lots of pros but becuase they dnt allow the person driving to have any control over the car itself when there behind the wheel. Another thing why i think its a negative thing to have is because have a mind of there own they run on othr things that power them to function and once again they could have a defect on the car that could cause it to go wrong and start to mess up in traffic and could end badly for the family or person that has to drive that car.These were all my reasons why i stand by the negative effect more than the postive things it can provide for people now a days. | 2 |
