3dfc80d | I think theAuthor should have a good evidence to study venus, firs is that Venus is the hottest than the solar system, Venus stopped some of the natural damages and Venus would allow a scientist to float above the fray.
First, reason is that the Venus is more hot than our solar system in the pharagrah it say " Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system even though Mercury is closer to our son" This mean that Mercuery is closer to our sun than Venus, but however Venus has the high temperature of hotttest.
Second, is that Venus weather impediment some of the bad of the natural destroys, in the pharagrah it says " Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like eruptin volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes" This mean that Venus have a good weather to stp those natural destroys that probably could cause a big damage to our planet and kill many poeple.
Last, reason is that would allow scientist to float above the fray the pharagrah it says " travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, not easy condition, survivable for humans". This mean that if wnat to travel to VEnus you can fly and also you can survive all of the dangers that are in Venus planet.
In conclusion, Venus is the hottest planet than our solar sytem, Venus stopped some of the natural damages for human, and Venus would allow a scientist to float above the fray, this reasons are why the Venus planet is worthy. | 3 |
3e0799a | The FACS computer can identify human emotions, by there facial expressions and showing the percentage of how happy, sad, mad, etc. they are. This system would work to read the emotional expressions in a classroom which is valuable so the teacher can know how they really feel instead of putting on a fake smile and saying there ok when they really aren't.
The evidence from the article is when the author states "A classroom computer can recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it will modify the lesson like a human instructor". Such a statement says that the computer of the classroom can be able to modify the lesson when a student is uninterested in the subject being taught; it also is saying that the lesson will be modified and make it a fun learning activity for the students to be interested in the subject taught and pass the subject being taken in class.
In conclusion, I agree that this technology is valuable for a classroom, beacuse when using the technology it will make the students learn in a fun way and pass the class instead of being bored or uninterested in the class being taught. This would be a better option to do instead of having kids fail the subject being taught. Making students interested in the subject is a better way to make them love learning and love school. | 2 |
3e07ead | The Seagoing Cowboys Program is giving you an opportunity of a life time and I think you should join becuase you would be helping many people who's countries were left in ruins because of World War II and those people need food supplies,animals and more. You would also take care of cows,horses,and mules.
To get to work for the Seagoing Cowboys Program would be amazing because you wold travel to many different countries. Say like Europe and China and could travel to Greece and see the Acropolis, take a gondola ride in Venice,Italy,on the streets of water.
The trip would also be great beacuse you would find some fun stuff do while you're on the boat, like boxing, fencing, baseball, and tennis ball tournaments. But beaing a Seagoing Cowboy is more than just an adventure and plaing games its about helping people and other countries. So I hope you say yes because this trip could open up the world to you, and you could be grateful for the opportunity of this trip. | 2 |
3e0eb38 | Dear state senator, I believe that you should keep the Electoral College rather than the most popular vote for the president. "The founding fathers established it". Basically this method has been going on since George Washington. How it works is you choose either your Republican or Democratic president, and depending on who has more votes for the president. The electoral votes go to the republican or to the democratic.
Citizens of the United States also voted upon this selection. In the passage " The indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong", it talks about how the candidates don't make it to every state. How could they? They are trying to promote and sign papers. They have a life too you know. They can't be in every single state in America. You could also see them on the Televeision if you want.
The Electoral College doesnt have the problem of elections in which "no canidate receives a majority of the votes cast" Evene if more people voted for the democratic or Republican president they still aren't gonna get what they want. Some people in 2008 wanted that other president, not Obama, to win. In school they were saying how he was racist and that they shouldn't vote for him. He wanted to put all the Mexicans back in Mexico.
Also would you rather count up a million people up or simple the number of senators for each person running which added together would be 538 electors. | 2 |
3e11caa | "Venus is the closest planet to earths in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." The author is sayin sinse venus is basicly another copy of earth will extra extreme features, we should still look into it. Venus are acid rain, 800 defrees fahrenheit and has only 3% of oxygen and 97% carbon dioxide. "Astronomers are fasinated by venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in out solar system. Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth." The aurthor explains why people are so interested in venus and why they want to study and look more into the planet and its possabilities. Now people know that venus is not fit for life forms now. Even people who have gotten close anough to venus couldnt get even close to study the surface of venus. They dont get a whole lot of time to look at venus because of its light and how bright it is, if people attempted to take a photo of venus it would not come out how they wanted. They only way we get any idea of venus and its surface is from the human eye. We are never able to get close anough for samples because we would need to get extremely close and we cant because of its heat, gases. Venus could easily burn through most metals from earth, but astronomers think using old technology or a mechanical computer could help figure out more on venus. The mechanical computer actually doesnt involve electronical equipment. Thats how the parts to the mechanical computer is made, is by heat, pressure and other types of forces. People think just because its dangerous to go to venus, doesnt mean we cant attempt it. They also say, "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." Telling us that its not possible and if you think about it, it could happen and can be possible to travel to venus. NASA has been thinking of ways to build a ship that could with stand venus and its heat an pressure, and how to make it safe anough to be able to get there and collect supplies and leave without being in any type of harm. | 2 |
3e13ec4 | The "Face on Mars" was just a natural landform. The "Face on Mars" was described at first as a "Egyption Pharaoh", when really it resembled the Middle Butte in the snake river plain of Idaho. If there were aliens who did make the monument, we would have not exposed this new information to the world, and have some scared, or excited about top secret information like this.
The natural landform must have been created by a shuttle landing,or has been here before we've known it. According to our team in NASA " The picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a buttle,or mesa", as I have said at the beginning, also if the landform were to be created by aliens there would have been some type of physical evidence that something, or someone would have/had been there before us.
Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA explained " We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it."
meaning, as soon as there was a shot so our supporters could make out, the picture was sent in to them. But because our supporters were not as satisfied of the picture, and thought they were gonna have some type of sy-fy picture to show them, they were sadly mistaken. They also have to realize and understand that information exposed to the world like that would not only put them in jepeordy,but us and our jobs too. | 2 |
3e15f18 | Venus is a beautiful planet with dangerous conditions but its supposedly earths twin even though the conditions we face here on earth arent nearly as bad as they are on Venus. The author knows this but still wants persuit it but however he does not support the idea that well.
In paragraph 1 he says that Venus, sometimes called the "evening star" is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky even though its a planet and not a star. Venus is the 2nd planet from the sun its still pretty simple to see from a safe distance on earth but it has proved to be a very challenging place to examine closely because of how extremely hot the planet is since its the 2nd planet from the sun.
Venus is also sometimes referred to as earths twin since its the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size and at times its closer to earth then the moon and to mars too and thats because of the difference in how fast the planets are orbiting the sun. That means like i just said at times the earth is closer to venus then it is to mars and and sometimes its closer to mars then it is to venus. Most of the time we are closer to venus then we are to mars so we numerous unmanned spacecraft to head to venus but every mission has panned out the same...the spacecraft doesnt survive the landing or it does but it gets destroyed a few hours. Most of what i typed in the last 2 paragraphs support the idea well.
If there was another mission to venus but this time its a manned mission then you or the spacecraft wont survive. The wind would destroy the spacecraft before it evens land on the ground with a person or group of people in it. But if you some how land it then your gunna have to deal with temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit! Lets not forget that the pressure on venus is 90 times greater then what we experience here on earth. So if your not dead yet then your gunna be crushed becuase an enviroment like this could easily crush a submarine that travels to deepest parts of the ocean which have a lot of pressure so imagine what the atmosphereic pressure would do to an average human being if it can easily crush a submarine. Your most likely not gunna survive it. Also the paragraph 3 states that it can also liquefy amny metals and that it has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in the universe! Thats pretty crazy! Other then having to deal t=with the heat and pressure you gotta deal with volcanoes erupting, extremely powerful earthquakes and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. This doesnt support the idea well because if you wanted it to be supoort really well then the author wouldnt have put all the dangerous things that happen on Venus | 3 |
3e1969d | When they got on Mars they realized that it looked like a human face and they wanted to know if it was left by an alien or something. In order for the face to be created by aliens we would have to know that they exist. We would have to actually know that aliens made the face on Mars, we would have to have evidence that they exist. In order to know that the face is a natural landform we would have to do a lot of research stating that maybe something or someone made the face. Scientist would have to make sure that it is a face and not something else. Scientist figured that is was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, the unusual shadows made it look like an Egyptiazn Pharaoh. They would have to do research to see if aliens left it there or if its something that someone or something left on Mars. In order to find out if it's a face they would have to make conclusions about what it may be. They figured that it did not have anything to do with aliens but they were not sure if it was true or not they wanted to know if alien marking were hidden by haze. | 1 |
3e19af4 | My claim for using the technology is great thing. Do you use technology everyday of your life? It could help kids out by making them interested in about what they are learn. The technology could tell what old paintings of people inthe old times and tell them wat they were feeling. I think it a great technology improvement to the world.
The FACS could help kids when they are getting borad of the school work and it could change it where they get more involed in it. The technology could make the kid do better in school if they lear then material in a different way that other. If a kid gets borad of his work and the computer that he is wrking on changes the way he lears it in a better way and a more fun way to learn the material.
The technology could tell what pecent of each emotions the old painting had. Just like the the Mona Lisa was feeling like she was 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. If we could figure out what all the paint of people and what they were feeling. This could tell us a lot about the person we were learning about.
This technology could change the life of the world. It could help us what percent of people were happy,sad, disgrusted, fearful,and angry. It could tell us whywe had all the war and what the Leader were thing when they satrted the war. This technology could figure out why we had all the problems we had in the past. The technology could change the way video games work or video surgery.
These are the reason why I think weshould have the technology. People could learn diferent way on how to do thing and kids wouldnt get tired of school. The technology help a lot of the world and teaches them how you can use it later in life. Could learn about what past people felt and figure out what happen in the past. I dont see why people think technology id bad because if help with everything in our life and teaches to use our rescoues. Would you agrre with me on my claim why we should have this technology? | 3 |
3e1b6ab | In the article, "Making Mona Lsia Smile," written by Nick D'Alto, there is a new technology being introduced to the world called the Facial Action Coding system, otherwise known as "FACS". Essentially, this technology allows people to calculate the exact percentage of the emotions presented in one's facial expression by studying the placement of there facial muscles. The machine analyzes your face in search of six particular emotions, sadness, anger, surprise, happiness, fear, and disgust.
Now with the availability of a technology such as this schools are suggesting that the "FACS" machine should be placed in classrooms. Although, Many people believe the tool is invasive, there are many reasons that prove a system like this in the classroom can be very useful.
All in all, the amount of time and effort that it would take to take a simple scan is a trivial expense to the reults you can get from it. The main reason is revealed in paragraph 6, the author explains, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored", this qouted by Dr. Huang of the Beckman Institutefor Advanced Science. He explains that this device could help teachers better their educational skills in the classroom. When the technology fully analyzes the emotions of a student it is a way of giving feedback to teachers regarding the way a lesson beign taught is received.
In concluson, The "FACS" technology is a helpful sourece in the classroom because it is a way to better connect the faculty and the students without presenting any conflicts. This technology will also further the effectivity of a child's education. | 3 |
3e1faa5 | Not one human has ever seen a living species in Mars or in any planet. In 1976 an odd feature appeared on Mars. Many people think that it looks like a human face. These people believe that the odd feature could be an alien living on Mars.
The news has been spreading around that the "face on Mars" is a creature living in space. I don't believe that aliens are real. Aliens are a figure that someone made up a long time ago hoping that their were more people in the Universe. I know this because if there were aliens in the Universe, someone probably would have already found one.
A lot of odd objects float around in space. The face that people are seeing could just be a meteor. Meteors float around the Universe just trying to make problems. The meteor could have blasted into Mars and created the face like feature. Things like this are not very rare. Meteors have rocketed into Earth a great number of times.
I also believe in Jesus. I believe in every single detail the Bible says. The face could be Jesus showing people that he is watching us. Everything in the Bible has either already happend or will happen in the future. Aliens are not in the Bible, therefore, I don't believe they exist.
If aliens really do exist we would have already found one. Humans have thought aliens are real for hundreds of years. The object could be a natural object like a meteor. Meteors pass through the Universe every single day. What makes this object different? Nothing make the object different. Jesus Christ has all of the creatures we need to know about in the Bible. Aliens are just not one of them. | 1 |
3e23101 | The author suggestment of study Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because it is most earthling-like planet than any other planet in the solar system, also we have perfect eqiupment for humans to survive a great travel in the planet of Venus.
The reason that they want to study Venus is because it is the most Earth type than any other planet. In the text, " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. long ago, Venus was probably covered just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and crters"( 4 paragraph The Challenge of Exploring Venus)
The other reason that they want to study Venus and not knowlegding the dangers because we humans can still survive the climent with good eqiupment. In the text it says " NASA's possible solution to float above the fray. imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes to travel at a higher altitude to fly over many stroms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground condition by staying up ande out of their way. At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures wolud still be toasty at aqround 170 degrees Faqhrenheit, 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 levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans" (4 paragraph The Challenges of Exploring Venus). This mean that their is a possible to survive Venus.
In this evidencem, this declare that Venus is very challenging to study from it but, their is always a way to figure out to how to get close to Venus and we are almost close to revealing what Venus could be our second planet of Earth. | 3 |
3e23640 | Although Venus has many dangers to it there are some parts of this planet that are very similar to Earth.
By having so many similarities to earth we could later bring life to Venus.
As well as Venus is right next to Earth so there wouldn't be many difficulties.
There are dangers to Venus but there are also some good qualities to it that could help us in the near future.
Venus is similar to Earth, only in some ways but there are many dangers of going there.
As said in paragraph 3 "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." Looking back at this, it is telling us all about the dangerd of even going to Venus. NASA has had previous missions but have failed because the spacecraft couldn't last a few hours after landing.
Now obviously there has to be something on Venus or we wouldn't be going through all this trouble to get there. What is so good about Venus?
Yes, Venus does seem like a scary place if you read about it, but the only reason scientists want to look into it more is because of the similarities it has to our Earth.
As mentioned in paragraph 4 "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth.
Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." Scientists want to look more into Venus because of what we could do with it.
There are many ways that Venus can help our next generations.
All in all, NASA has been working on a new spacecraft that will go to Venus.
This way we can find out what Venus can truly do for us.
Although there are some threatning things among Venus, good comes from it too. | 2 |
3e285b1 | I believe that when the people of the United States vote for the president it be should be deicided by the popular vote adn not the Electoral College. I shall give you a few examples why. And you might just think like i do.
First, I think the president should be chosen by the popular vote because then all the poeple in that state will have a say not just someone else chosing for them. Most people usually chose for themselves because they have the right. Everybody should have a say not just
"the qualified citizens"
writen in source one.
Secondly, yes people make bad and somtimes terribles mistakes but thats what we do. The Electoral College has flaws just like anyone or anything else. Like in source two
"the single best argument agaisnt the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor."
even they make mistakes sometimes.
So yes the electoral college might be useful but it can also be very jugdemental. don't you think you have the choice to choose who leads this country? Maybe you don't but some do. | 2 |
3e2ab80 | Becoming a Seagoing Cowboy has a lot of ups and downs but the ups are accually pretty cool like;
You might find an uncharted island and make a lot of money off of it. You would see interesting and cool places while you were travleing to the destination. I have always wanted to go to Ireland but i dont think that i will ever go there... Unless i become a SeaGoing Cowboy of corse!
You get a lot of excersise by traveling a lot. If you are the kind or person who really likes to travel, then you would like to be a SeaGoing Cowboy. You get a chance to be on a boat in the open sea. I would really like to be a SeaGoing Cowboy because your always out at sea and i love the ocean, i could live on the ocean if I could.
You would try new things on the on the way like you would land on countries or islands that you have always wanted to go to. You might also get respect from the other landgoers. I mean, who wouldn't like to have respect from other people! (Plus you get an awesome name) "Seagoing Cowboy" sounds cool huh? Yeah.
So try it, it might be your kind of thing, or maybe you could just sit around at home doing dishes, chopping logs or something, Who knows maybe you will become a SeaGoing Cowboy one day. | 2 |
3e30e6c | What is the electoral college? The electoral college is a process , not a place . If i would have to argue in favor of keeping the Electoral college or changing to election by popular vote for the president of the united states , I would have to agree with keeping the Electoral college. I would agree because the Electoral college consists of 538 electors , a majority of 270 is required to elect presidents , and i think that it is a fair amount of people who are required to vote.
This Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors , the meeting where they vote for President and Vice president , and the counting of the electoral votes by congress . These votes are very important because with those votes you are making a very important choice by voting for the president and vice president , it should not stop because you could make a difference with just one vote you never know and you would not want just anybody as your president , right ? These electotral votes should not stop .
This election is held every four years on the tuesday after the first Monday in November . If we make a vote for our candidate we are actually voting for our canditate electors , very important. After the presidential election your governor prepares what they call " Certificate of Ascertainment " , what is that ? it is listing all of the candidates who ran for President in your state along with the names of their respective electors it is so important because it shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in December year . The Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the congres and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election .
Bradford wrote " The indefensible Electoral college : Why even the best laid defenses of the system are wrong " . It talks about how some people prefer a direct election to the kind we have now .and how this year voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidency , yet the the electoral college still has defenders . This shows electoral colllege is good because it still has its defenders.
It says at the most basic level , the electoral college is unfair to voters because of the winner-take-all sysrem in each state . Some voters do feel like electoral college is unfair but others do not , they should do electoral college because of all the reasons i just gave wether some people like it or not . They should not abolish electoral college. | 2 |
3e34984 | The author explains how venus is the closest planet to earth by explaining the similar things venus has and that earth does. venus is a very complicated planet to try to study because of its tempeature the average rate goes up to 800 degrees and also has a thick atmosphere and has alot of pressure. venus is also known as the hottest planet out of all the others.
the author also says its a challenge for humans because humans havent encountered those types of enviorments but they are willing to learn more about it because its the only like earth planet there is known to be around and humans are anxious to know more about it.
Researchers cannot take anything such as rocks,gas and other samples but scientst are working on a machine that can last longer on venus so they could get more information threy also made modified electronics and tested it is if it where in venus surface.
astronomers say that we shouldnt give up on trying harder and harder to meet the very edgers of venus and get our imagination and innovations out there | 2 |
3e3c20a | Instead of having the Elcetoral College you should change it to the popular votes because the people vote for who they want as president not for who will be put in as president. It should be all about the people and what they want and who they want as the leader of the country not who the Electoral College puts in the office. Also the Electoral College is a process not a place but their are people that run the Electoral College and they put in who they want and not who the people want.
The counting of the electoral votes is done by Congress. Also the Electoral College consists of 538 electors. "In Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, youd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry." The votes would go to be electoral votes instead of what the people. Someone can be voted in to office by the peoples vote but it has to be that the other person might get in by the electoral votes instead of the individual votes.
The electoral vote overrule the peoples votes. For example "Obama received 61.7 precent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percentof the popular votes cast for him and Romney." It just is not fair for the people to vote for who they want as president and the Electoral College puts who they want in instead who people want in office. The people want who they want not who you put in office. In the state of Florida there are 29 electoral votes, Texas there are 38, California has 55.
These are reasons why the Electoral College should be changed to the election of the popular votes. It is only fair to do that instead of having it as someone that the people did not want in office. The electoral votes do not have to be there they just have them to put who Congress want in office. They do not care about the people they care about themselves. | 2 |
3e3f686 | Imagine growing up in a city 30 miles above the ground and wearing a suit all the time to protect yourself from the envirement. This is life on the planet of Venus. There are many dangers such as the temperature being 800 degrees Fahrenheit, the pressure that is 90 times greater than what we experience on earth, and clouds of sulfuric acid everywhere but is it worth it?
In this article there are many reasons to not explore Venus, some say it may not be able to be done but NASA belives that if we use a blimp like vehicle to explore 30 miles above the surface then the temperature will drop to around 170 and the pressure will drop aswell.
There is a saying "The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few" and in the situation of our planet being compremised in one way or another that is very true. If we need another planet to flee to we could go to Venus but we would need exstensive research first in order to find out if it is even possible to survive on that planet.
Life would be a lot more difficult living on Venus but based on this article it might just be possible. Living on Venus would mean we would have to make tons of improvements in our technology so they wouldn't be totally inferior in the extreme conditions of Venus's weather. Our tech would have to able to handle all of the heat and everything else without over heating and exploding all the time.
In conclusion I think the author did a good job in explaining the conditions of the Venus and all of its surprises it holds for us to find. The author also adresses the technology advancements we would have to make aswell as gives us motivation to explore and create by saying "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." | 3 |
3e43f50 | Do you think Venus is a good planet? Yes and no but i dont have reasons why. All i know is that its a planet and i think its cold. Im going to give you reasons why its good and why its bad. Venus is bad because we cant study the planet well. Venus is good because its the most earth like planet.
Venus is good because its the most earth like planet. The article wuotes," Astromers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in out solar system". Thats good because its like earth and earth is a good planet beacuse people live in it. Its also good because it have montains and can be their nearest option for a planetary visit.
Venus is bad because we cant study the planet well. The article states," While venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely". Thats bad because we need information from every planet to see how its like. Its also bad because none of the space crafts have made it on Venus.
To concluse the bad news about Venus is that we cant study the planet well and the good news about Venus is that its the most earth like planet. These reasons were good and it can change poeples mind about what they think about Venus or not. | 2 |
3e4589a | The author presents the idea and supports it very well with all of this information that he has provided and mentioned in this exerpt. Getting samples from Venus could be quite beneficial to us humans in furthing our space exploration and devolping more advanced and harder to breach technology and systems. Scientists predicted that Venus may have once been covered in oceans on the surface and been like earth a very long time ago. In paragraph four the author states that,"If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to it's surface? Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covered with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." If we could get artifacts or samples of soil we could be able to discover out of this world (literally) species that could help us further more understand what Venus used to look like and the type of life that could have been on it. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (or NASA) has been working on new types of systems that could be able to withstand the harsh conditions presented on Venus, by using old space type Mechinical computers. If they could use those they would be way more durable and wouldn't require any electricity at all furthermore extending the time we could stay on Venus. You probably ask why don't we just hover above the planet and just take photos. Well here's the problem, the 97% carbon dixoide atmosphere and most forms of light cannot penerate through the thick atmosphere, rending photos and videos virtually impossible. Our curious humans minds bring us closer and closer to exploring the mysterious planet. Only time will tell what we will invent and what we will learn from this beautiful planet. That's if we go back. | 3 |
3e4b55d | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author describes why putting a man on the moon seems like a walk in the park compared to the horrendous obstacles preventing humans from pushing the frontier with visiting one of Earth's neighbors, Venus. The thick atmosphere is toxic to us. The clouds of sulfuric acid, the incredibly high temperatures on the planet's surface, and pressure would present challenges to mankind and its technology.
Yet, the author sees that mankind cannot be afraid of the risks when the rewards are so great. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is supported through Venus' vast similarities to Earth, Venus' proximity to Earth, and the innovation in machines by researchers that could make them work long enough to expand mankind's knowledge on Venus.
The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is supported through Venus' vast similarites to Earth, which is why humans have such interest in this particular planet. The author explains points in Venus' history that have intrigued astronomers, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largelyt with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, " (4). Besides having been closer to Earth's "twin" many years ago, Venus may be more similar than humans thought, shown through "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters," (4). Studying Venus could lead to us knowing why this planet is such a far cry from Earth now, and this could provide valuable with how humans interact with their environment. If Venus has such similar features to Earth, like valleys, then there is probably more to discover on Venus' surface. This peculiar connection between this planet and Venus shows how valuable exploration could prove, just as Venus' proximity further supports how worthy of a pursuit Venus is.
The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the presented dangers is supported through Venus' proximity. The author conveys the usefulness of having Venus so close, "Because Venus is sometimes right around the corner-in space terms-humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world," (2). Time and distance can be very influential in making groundbreaking decisions, like pursuing the exploration of Venus, as can be seen through, "...Venus can be sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel," (4). Humans love to have everything near by, like schools, work, and more, because of the convenience; the same benefit is seen with Venus. When the planet is close, the fuel needed would not be the same if humans were trying to get to Jupiter. There would be less of a chance of losing them. Time is essential in space, given humans' limited control out there, so proximity makes it that much easier for us to make the bold move. Venus's proximity gives reason to continue working towards exploring Venus, just as the innovations in machines have.
The idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it brings is supported through the innovation in machines that could make the close-up exploration of Venus possible. NASA's advancements for Venus exploration are promising, "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 such chaos," (7). Humans would not be able to use the most advanced technology, but durability is the goal, "By comparison, systems (mechanical computers that use gears and levers to calculate) that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces," (7). If humans were to only hover over Venus, the possibilites are limited. Humans and technology have to be as close as possible. Technology that could last for a few weeks is enough to vastly expand our knowledge. Mechanical computers are now obsolete, but in Venus would be a valuable tool, just like the other electonics being made. Researchers have worked tirelessly to continue making Venus exploration a reasonable reality.
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is supported through Venus' vast similarities to Earth, Venus' proximity to Earth, and the innovation in machines by researchers that could make them work long enough to expand mankind's knowledge on Venus. The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is supported through Venus' vast similarites to Earth, which is why humans have such interest in this particular planet. The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the presented dangers is conveyed through Venus' proximity. The idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite its hostile environment is supported through the innovation in machines that could make the close-up exploration of Venus possible. The author believes that sometimes humans cannot let curiosity, imagination, and innovation be trampled by the dangers and doubts. Humans cannot live in fear all the time. The human spirit always demands that humans continue striving towards knowing more. | 5 |
3e4ba35 | Luke is trying to convince other people to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program . He wanted other people to join him in the Seagoing Cowboys program because their was many fun activitys to do . The cowboys were playing baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. More fun games their were table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time. Luke thinks more people should join these fun activitys because they help kill time, fun to play,and is something you can do with more then one person. LUke thought being a Seagoing Cowboy was alot better then going on the adventures he went on and saving animails. He wants more people to injoy the experince of being a Seagoing Cowboy just like he did . Luke thinks it opened a new world for him,it made him more aware of other peoples needs in other contries,and the awaredness stayed with him,leading his family to host a number of international students and extange visitors for many years. So Lukes main porpose of trying to get other people to try the
Seagoing Cowboy is so they can experince it like him like he had a fun time playing their games and it changed his piont of view towerds people in other contries and their needs . | 2 |
3e60172 | The challenges of exploring Venus can be worthly pursuit but dangers can be presented. One postive example of
Venus is called the evening star is one the brightest ponits of light in the night sky making it simple for even an amater stragazer to spot. The reason we explore or visit other plants its because the human curioity will likely lead us to many other discovers. A not so postive example is just imagine living on Venus and not having electronics lets put an eample just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. Second Venus is called the earth twins. why do you ask? Earth in terms of density and size and occasionally the closet in distance too. Earth and Venus and Mars are other planetary neighbor who they orbit the sun at different speeds.
The difference in speed from earth to venus is that sometimes we are closer to mars and other times to venus is close to earth. A negavtive reason Venus has a thick atomosphere of almost 97 perecent carbon dioxide blankets venus. Another challange is that that the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atomshere. The conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth. Thrid reason Venus has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in our planet ,even though Mercury is closer to our sun. The dangers ir presents is the high pressure and heat,venus geology and weather present additionl impediments like erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes and frequent lighting. A reason why humanity is exploring venus because it once have been earth like planet in our planet. A long time ago Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life. This shows the dangers Venus has and the if it worthly to discovered. | 3 |
3e63dd4 | As I have read the passage I believe these "driveless cars" are very safe and may even be very productive. Not that just anyone can own the driveless car. I think you should have to pass
some sort of test to be able to qualify into buying this car.
We might even be able to save many more lives, by helping to prevent accidents as we have the car to help us navigate throughout our destination. The driveless car could help you through traffic as well.
As well I also believe they could be very dangerous on my other half. If someone were to be in the car and almost in a accident and the driveless cars system didn't know how to react to the oncoming collision I think the out come of the crash could be even more worse then someone getting a normal
car crash.
As the passage says the Google cofounder Sergey Brin, believes a future with a public transportation system of driveless cars would fundumentally change the world. "Mercedes-Benz, Audi,and Nissan plan to have cars that can drivethemselves by 2020." I would hope they have a plan to every system faliure. How would the car react with a human body faliure while the car is in no chance of self driving? How would the car be 10% of the time when the person has to take to take over for that time pieord and cannot?
Driveless cars just seem to be something that can take very many years to fix and operate, update and upgrade on. | 3 |
3e665c1 | Limiting Car Usage
The number of positive connotations that limiting car usage around the world would have on society is infinite. It would lower congestion, promote more healthy and efficient means of travel, and it would reduce emissions by a very large factor. People around the world are turning towards methods of transportation that do not monopolize on the automobile. Maybe one day cars will be passé?
According to a study in Paris, congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France after prohibiting driving for a few days, and fining those who disregarded the experiment. Less congestion led to less road noise, which, in turn, made people "happier." It created a safer environment for children and parents alike. Having fewer cars on the road encouraged people to go outside whenever they could. Citizens of Vauban, a city in Germany, are taking this newfound peacefulness to an extreme. Driving is forbidden in their city and there are not any available parking spaces in the event that they still own a car! Vauban is an example of a city that was built based on "smart planning." More communities are adopting this ideal and try to have everything located within walking distance of a person's home. This encourages people to get to where they need to go without the use of an automobile. People nowadays also have the technology to communicate with others electronically, so that reduces the need for an automobile to get from point A to point B. Why waste the time and money on gas to communicate with someone when you could send them an email or text for a low cost in a matter of seconds?
This being said, limiting car usage promotes public transportation services. In Bogota, 118 miles worth of bicycle paths have been built in an effort to steer people away from automobiles. This encourages people to get from place to place via a healthy and fun means of transport. Undoubtedly, people are more likely to stay close to home without the accessibility of cars, so limiting the use of cars saves the time that would be spent on the roads.
Limiting car usage has major benefits when it comes to carbon emissions and environmental problems. President Obama has wanted to curb the United States' emissions and so far his goal is a success. Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. Smog has been severely reduced in countries around the globe since plans to limit car usage have gone into effect.
Limiting car usage might seem like something that "would be good in theory," and it will definitely be a hard thing for today's generation to wrap their head around, but the positive impacts it would have on society are limitless. Congestion and emissions would be reduced, time spent commuting would be saved, and the world would be a much safer place to live in overall. Limiting car usage everywhere is definitely something to think about. | 4 |
3e68222 | Did you know that the planet Venus is well known as a misleading planet and a very dangerous place in outer space. Here are three facts from the article that the author discuss. History of venus, misleading planet, beyond danger.
Venus is a very unique planet to study and the history why the planet is a very challeging place. Venus is very simple to see from the distant but safe vantage. It is also well known as Earth's "twin." Planet Venus is sometime called the "Evening star," it to be known one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. However Venus is actually a planet in our solar system in outer space it has proved that it is a very challenging place to examine more closely.
Venus is well known for its nickname "misleading." Each of the previous mission was unmanned, and for a very good purpose. In paragraph 2 it stated this "no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." Due to the reason that Venus is sometime around the corner in terms of space human have sent numerous of spacecraft to land on this cloud draped world.
The planet Venus is a very dangerous place to live in or even to take a trip. Venus temperature is beyond high pressure and heat although planet mars is to be known the closest planet to the sun but, a thick atmosphere of almost ninty seven carbon dioxide blankets Venus. It's even more challeging when the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet venus of the surface the average temperature is over eight hundred degree Fahrenheit. The greatest pressure of atmospheric is ninty times greater that what most people have experience on our planet.
In conclusion this essay has proven that planet Venus is a very beautiful planet to look at but, it is a beyond what a normal human can handle such as a high temperature, and a deadly it the deadliest place out of all of the solar system palnet. | 3 |
3e78c7c | The use of the Facial Action Coding System to detect and identify human emtions can be valuable for students in a classroom. The use of this technology in the classroom can help students on a more individual level and help the students that may straggle behind and help them better while getting many students done as possible. The computer can be like an effective human instructor which helps students when by themselves or working by themselves in a classroom. The same technology can be used for video sugery in a different type of situation in a classroom where a person would be learning about surgery.
The detection and identifying of human emotions can help a student when the student is using a classrooom computer and the computer recognizes when a student is becoming confused at a subject and not understanding it, the computer can modify the lesson to become easier to understand. The same could be said for other emotions a student can display such as becoming bored and the classroom computer can detect this as being either the lesson is too easy and boring or the lesson is boring and can modify it until it improves and fit the student. Other emotions can help the classroom computer indentify any problems a student is facing automated on a more individual level catering to what level a student is at rather than compared to the current classroom environment where a teacher has to focus on a group and takes time to focus on each person. With these tools and the computers a large amount of students can be helped individually rather than one at a time with one teacher.
In other use of the technology can be valuable for students varying in different classes, grade levels, and can help others learn about emotion in a class related to or about emotions. The use of this technology in every classroom and every grade level is not limited by any means and can store a large amount of data easily retrieved to help a student whether they are in elementary school or high school or even in a university.
In conclusion,
the Facial Action Coding System Technology can be extremely valuable to a student in the classroom although having a few downsides such as cost for a computer than can handle the technology and the amount of comptuers for a classroom full of students, but the benefits outweigh the costs signifigantly in that every student can learn better no matter what level they are at or who they are. It can help in guiding on an individual level at any time without the assistance of a teacher which can only focus on one person at a time or talk generally to a group. | 4 |
3e79213 | Should driverless cars be made? No beacuse a driverless car cant do everything a person in the car can do. Yea driverless cars can drive themselfs but then the human in the car has to take over because the driverless car cant go around everything. Such as a road blocks. It can give directions to get around them but cant do it by themselfs.
A driverless car can do great things but whats going to happen when the car cant do things its suppost to do. What I mean is what if the car is on the highway and it sarts to malfunction and it starts doing thing on the road that can get you hurt of killed. What if you dont want to drive anymore and the driverless car doesnt want to drive itself.
Now this car can be incredible or it can be a mistake. When your on the road and the driverless car is driving itself and all of a sudden boom. The car crashes into another car who would that be on or who would have to pay? You or the compony you bought the car from. See the car you bought crashed by itself because you are letting the driverless car drive itself. Now you have to pay the person that the driverless car hit because you didnt have the wheel to prevent the crash from happening.
See these cars can be good for you or bad for you to get. These cars can do good thing or thing that will make you have to pay someone almost over $1000 because you were not driving to prevent the crash from happening. This is why we shouldnt have driverless car that drive themselfs, anything can happen with driverless car driving around. | 3 |
3e7dd0b | In this aricle , the author its trying to you take you to Venus with all the danger. For explain, in paragaph 1 it say that "Venus is simple to see from distant but safe vanage point of earth, it has proves a very challenging place to examine more closely " its is ever challenging visting, trying to do go and rescreach on a plant where you dont know anything about it.
Venus is the twin of earth, right around the corner. In the pharagh 2, it say, "humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud draped world." Every previous mission was unmanned. You may be asking yourself why , because no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours . They belived thats why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus. Its a really challeng for plant for human to study.
One of the challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acis in Venus atmosphere. On planets surface, temperatures avarage over 800 degrees , and the atompheric average 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar systems.
Let me tell you this , long ago Venus was probably covered largely with and COULD
have supported various froms of life, just like Earth.
Venus can be save to resreach but what person would want to do at ?
NOT EASY CONDITIONS , FOR HUMANS! | 2 |
3e7e439 | You should Participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program because you get to see and experience sites that not everyone gets to see, like Acropiles in Greece, tour a castle in Crete, and be marvled at the Panama Canal as you head to China, and you get to see even more there! The Segoing Cowboys program is a program that takes food and animals to China and Eroupe after World War Two.
After you take the food and animals to China and Eroupe, you get to have fun on your way back to America. You could play baceball and volleyball in the empty holds were they kept the animals, or you have
Table tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and that passes the time on that long time back home.
Just be Carefull you do not wan't to go over board into the merky depths of the cold Antlantic Ocean. Also, you don't want tho slide down the ladder of the ship, you won't go over, you would just break a few ribs and not be able to care for the animals.
That is why I think you should join the seagoing cowboys program, and all in all, it is a good time! | 3 |
3e80746 | CHANGE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE!!! The Electoral College needs to either stop or change. There been so much that have happen over the years. For example, the Gallup poll in 2000, right Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency. Which i didn't understand because, he won the vote's but lost the presidency. Over 60 percent of voters would perfer a direct election, like the one we have today. There are so many wrong things with the Electoral College. Under this system, voters vote not for the president, but for the state of electors. which who in turn elect the president. For example, if u lived in texas, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you dont vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pledged to Kerry. Another thing is the disaster factor. The disaster factor is when the american people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century. The system also allows for much worse. Basically the system want's to see us fail. If the system would realize how bad there hurting us and making us feel like our vote doesn't matter. For example, again the 2000 scandle with the votes for president. We voted for this guy and he won most of the votes from the states but the Electoral College desided to give it to the other guy. Some of us just don't get how that works. What happen in 2000 have me to think that, maybe there are some sercet's that the us is not telling us, because they dont know how we are going to respond.
There is probably a lot of things that would get a lot of people in trouble. What happen in the 2000 should open a lot of eyes right now. This world is so crazy today. We are trillion of doolars in debt probably because of the stupid disicions that the electoral college made on that day. Reading this article, it said that the Electoral College is widely regarded as an Anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner, but what happen in 2000, it didn't go that way, they said how they pick the president. They made a big mistake, that we are paying for right now. They say the winner takes all but the winner in 2000 didn't really win. After reading this, i do not stand behind the electoral college. | 2 |
3e837e8 | Technology in our modern society is always progressing. Since a lot of human emotions can be conveyed through facial expressions, scientists wanted a way fo develop a better communication between humans and computers. Every single day, people read each other's emotions based on facial expressions. Recently, a new software program was developed so that computers are now able to read people's emotions. This new software program is called the Facial Action Coding System.
The Facial Action Coding System works by monitoring the 44 major muscles in a human face and making a 3D computer version of the face. When one muscle moves, the computer detects the movement compared to a neutral expression. The computer then classifies it using the movement and its associated emotion into the basic emotions. In this way, the computer is able to then identify mixed emotions. Since facial emotions are universal, this type of technology can be used all around the world in many different ways, one example being in the classroom.
Emotional recognition in the classroom can be very useful in order keep students engaged in their lessons. Many times, students become disinterested, confused, or bored during the lesson, but according to the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, this technology can "recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored". Recognizing this problem can then "modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"(D'Alto). By modifying the lesson to better fit the student's needs, the computer can teach the students more effectively. This means that the students will be able to learn the material better and therefore be better as students and smarter as people.
This use of the new software technology, Facial Action Coding System, is valuable because it helps communication between the student and the computer. This communication promotes a better learning environment because the computer can teach a better lesson, if it recognizes the student is confused or bored. By modifying the lesson to fit the student's needs, students are able to better comprehend and be engaged in the material. This results in the students being more likely to apply what they have learned to their daily lives. Real life application shows true understanding of material, which in turn shows that students are becoming smarter due to enhanced and personalized lessons. This technology benefits the students by giving them a better suiting education for them so they can learn in the type of environment that will help them the most. This technology can also help teachers to understand the best way in which to teach their students the lesson in order to keep them engaged and learning in a healthy and beneficial environment.
In conclusion, the new software technology, Facial Action Coding System is able to track facial muscle movement. Then, it classifies the movement into emotions so that computers can recognize the emotions of people. Thie technology can be used in the classroom to futher engage the student and teach better lessons based on their current emotions towards the lesson. Therefore, it is a valuable asset to students if used correctly because it can help students to learn better by interesting them. | 4 |
3e92243 | Being a seagoing cowboy is great because I travel to lots of places such as: China, Europe, and lots more places.
Seagoing Cowboys take care of horses, cows, and mules that were shipped oversea. Also a benefit for being a Seagoing Cowboy is that you travel by sea to China, Europe, Greeece, and Italy. On a Seagoing Cowboy's free time they play Baseball and Volleyball. They also had tournaments such as Table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games to help pass time. One disadvantage in being a Seagoing Cowboy is that you are suck in sea, so you can get sea sick, Also the animals can get hard to handle from time to time.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is great because of the place you go to. Also the stuff you do on the ship like games. However, being a Seagoing Cowboy is to help out on the World War II by exporting animales and crates of food and stuff to other places. | 2 |
3e9dcd5 | The author suggests that venus is worthy for pursuit for space travel.
There are some dangers and risk factors that come along in the travel.
The author does include a lot of risk factors but also a lot of benifits.
I'm suppose to evaluate and give my input of how well the author explained this topic.
The author comes out saying how Earth and Venus are so similar and shape and density and how close it is from us.
I like how the author included this so you have an idea of how far it is and that one day it could be accomplished.
The author talks about unmanned space crafts and how each time they went to venus they would only last a few hours.
I think he includes this because some readers get in image how dangerous of a travel it is.
The author goes into detail about the factors the contribute of how dangerous venus is.
The text says
''A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus.'' and ''On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphric pressure is 90 times greater than ehat we experience on our own planet.''
The author goes into detail of why we need to explore such a dangerous place.
The text says ''Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system.
Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life.''
I like how the author said how Earth was like Venus so people get an idea of how that they are similar in surface.
The author includes of how NASA is trying to get people to Venus.
The text says ''NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray.''
I like how the author includes that a big company is trying to change the way of space travel.
The author wraps the text up by how the goal is not unrealistic and how people need to work hard to accomplish these goals.
The text says ''Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of insight to be ganied on the planet itself, but also becuase human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.'' | 3 |
3e9eed3 | Luke Bomberger is a Seagoing Cowboy that travels world wide to help horses, young cows, mules,and people after World War 2.
I'm Luke Bomberger a Seagoing I travel around the world to help animals like horses, young cows, mules ,and people after World War 2 destroyed most countries were left in ruins. I am now going around helping and trying to convince others to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. I start off in China helping others and animals while talking to the communtity to convince them that they should participate in this program because your not only helping people and animals but your also getting the unbelievable opportunity of seeing Europe and China! Even though the animals kept me busy I wasn't giving up convincing others that there is a amazing opportunity to help the damaged and runied spots and help animals out also letting them know that sometimes they can serve as a night watchman that job was to check up on the animals every hour. My last thing telling them was that you can also have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded by playing games like baseball, volleyball, table-tennis tournaments, frncing, boxing, whitting to help pass time."But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure
I'll open up the world to you ,I'll make you more aware of people of other countries and their needs." I say to them.
That is how I Luke Bomberger set my mark on trying to convience others to become a Seagoing Cowboy to help animals, people, and to take the opportunity to see countries like Europe. Would want to become a Seagoing Cowboy? | 2 |
3e9f3ea | To me driverless cars are just the newest fad. I don't think that they are going to be as great as they are made out to be. If anything, they are counterproductive, and we are going to be taking steps backwards. They are a solid idea in concept, but doesn't mean that pertains when it's actually created.
As a whole, humans have progressively become more dependent on technology. Whether with computers, iPhones, or just in general we are allowing machines to do the work for us. As a result, we as humans have lost our ability to function by ourselves, and are dependent on the things we've created. Driverless cars are just a step closer to complete reliance on technology. And they are closer to being developed and sold now more than ever. Car manufacturers are already making prototypes and test-driving.
If driverless cars take over, where's the fun in having a car? The author even argues, "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn’t drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?","Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays."(Section 8)
The whole point of buying one is to drive it around and show it off. If can't even use it for its purpose, then there's really no difference between a self-driving car, and taking public transportation. Either way, you're not in control of the automobile.
At the moment, driverless cars are still dependent on a person to take over in certain situations. "The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. "(Section 7) This means that while the majority of the work is done by the car, the driver still has to be alert while driving, and pay attention to when they need to take over. I personally think that that's as far as "driverless cars", or just cars in general should go. I don't see the upside to not having to focus on the road other than pure laziness and dependence on technology.
Whether this is the next big thing or not, driverless cars concern me. They don't seem like the right approach to driving. People are already texting and driving because they can't bare to part with their technology. All driverless cars are going to do is promote this dependence on technology, both because texting and driving will no longer be a problem, so people can stay on their phones longer, and because they will no longer have to drive for themselvs. Technological advances in some fields are better than in others. Everything in moderation. Even the best things. | 4 |
3ea008d | The Facial Action coding system is a new software that can tell what peopls emotions are when they are trying to hide them. In the "Making Mona Lisa Smile" article they could find the percent of emtion the artist was feeling just by the way the picture was painted. Do you think its okay to use this sysem in a school setting?
I think its okay to use it in a school setting because it can see the true emotions the students feel. "For instance, you can probaly tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble acually decribing each facial trate that conveys happy" I thinks its a good idea to have because, some kids really suffer from deppersion and sadness and this computer program can help them get the help they need and to be happy again.
Next, what the computers can do is crazy, they can read your emotional expressions when you are trying to hide them. "Using video imagery, the new emotions-recognition software tracks these facial movement- in a real face or in painted face of Mona Lisa." These computers can read everyones exact emotions.
This coding system could help many schools and students in many diffrent ways. This device could be in the schools psychologists office or in the schools guidence office and the kids could go there to get there face expressions done once a month and if it keeps comig back sad then they could go get the help they need to be happy.
In conclusion I am all for the use of this technology in a school setting. It can help each indivitual in a diffrent way. If someone is feeling sad or deppressed and dosent want to tell anyone then the Facial Action Coding System could help them be happy again. | 3 |
3ea421a | "The psyologist aspect of automation are really a challenge." I think driverless cars should not be able to be relesed.
First, I think driverless cars shouldn't be relsed becuase there still to dangerous. The passage states that, "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, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents." This means you can't trust the car driving by itself because it's not ready to be driven by itself yet. A human still has to take alert when they're backing out. Another reason I think driverless cars are to dangerous to be relesed is because they might not have everything it takes to drive by itself.
Second, I think driverless cars shouldn't be relesed because they are to exspensive. The passage says, "Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an intertial motaion sensor." Having all of these sensors and be very exspenvise. And many people might not have the money to replace them if they get broken.
Finally, Having driverless cars relesed can take up to much time. In the passage, it states, "There was no way, before 2000, to makesomething interresting. The sensors weren't there, the computers weren't there , and the mapping wasn't there. Radar weas a device on a hilltop that cost two hundred million dollars." This is no where near time avalible for them to have every part.
Finally, I think driverless cars shouldn't be relesed. | 3 |
3eaa152 | Venus, nicknamed as the "Evening Star" can be seen in the night sky as one of the brightest lights. It is also the closest planet of that to Earth, which is often called the Earth's "twin sister" and its density and size is also close to that of Earth's. Even with this kind of value, Venus has even greater value on its surface that NASA can't seem to overcome the challenges it has.
The challenges it has just to get there and study it, "Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, depite its proximity." Venus has "a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide", which blankets it. Also, the more challenging thing about it is its surface, the temperatre is the average of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmosphere has 90 times greater pressure than that of Earth's. Which by means, making it "the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system."
Even with its challenging features, Venus, long ago, might have held various forms of life and might have been covered largely with oceans. Which by means, making it "the most Earth-like planet in our solar system", and still today, it still holds some features that are analogous to those of Earth. And so, NASA has been working on different things to approach Venus, such as considering a "blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape.
Futhermore, if this was to happen or made, it still wouldn't give them the capability to provide the details they need. It would only limit their insight, in this case, "scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks." The other approaches NASA is considering is using simplified electronics made of silicon carbide, which they have tested in chambers simulating Venus's surface and lasted for three weeks.
In conclusion, the difficulties and challenges Venus has in store, it is more tempting to overcome with all the values it has. By overcoming its challenges it is more of an achievement, than the gain of the planet itself. And to think that it might be our next home, like that of Earth, it does make it more tempting. | 3 |
3ead430 | Dr. haung and his colleagues are creators of the FACS (Facial Action Coding System). They are from the University of Illinois. The FACS is a system that can detect different emotions from a persons facial expressions. This system is on a computer and it can identify if a person is happy or sad and many other emotions. The way the system can tell is by indentify the different muscles used for each facial expression.
This idea is very interesting to me. I find that the system has positives and negatives. Also there is nothing out in the world right now like it. I think that the FACS could be very helpful in some ways. The system can work in schools which would help the teachers know who is needing help and who isnt understanding the subject. It can also show what students might be feeling like that day and if a person should be trying to make their day better.
The sytsem can also help others know when someone could be depressed. Then the person could get the help they need right way and get it before it is to late. I also think this could help with bullying because other students will know if that person is relating to them or not. The students would maybe understanding one another more by knowing that they arent the only ones that are feeling the way they do.
The system also doesnt let people hide their emotions. This could be a good thing and a bad thing. Some people dont like to show their emotions and dont trust people enough to tell them what is going on. This system could be forcing people to say whats on their mind and they might not want anyone to know. On the other hand it might be good for them to get those feelings out and find help or have someone to talk to.
The FACS is still being worked on. It is a great and unique idea that has more positives that negatives. It would be very successful for many schools all over the country. The Faical Action Coding System in my opionion is going to help kids or teenagers more than adults. Overall i think this would be a good idea for schools to have. | 3 |
3eaecf8 | The driveless cars have both pros and cons. The car would use less fuel then it does today and taxis offer more flexibility than a bus. The cars alert the driver to take ove when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents. General Motors had created a concept car that could only run on a special test track , but the track was to expensive to be practical. Instead of smarter roads smart cars were made. If people wanted to look at this in a psychological aspect, this would make driving more fun. The car options for this program can be turned off when the driver needs to take over and this can be used as a safety issue. This program can help with keeping passengers safe especially the ones who make poor choices. This would help on traffic and accidents. | 2 |
3ebc31e | Cars are the main cause of pollution in major cities. Cities are covered in smog from gas emmisions from a car's exhaust. This is not good for the environment. Something must be done about this. If the usage of cars is cut down, then the amout of pollution in the air will be less. A less usage of cars allows people to have a clean community and helps the environment.
In Germany, there is a small community that is completely car-free. This community, Vauban, has about 5,500 residents, and not a single one of them use a car. This community is very clean and all of the people that live there are happy. Just think, what if every family in Vauban had a car? It would completely change this happy, clean community. There would be a lot more pollution and more stressful citizens. More and more small towns are beginning to ditch the cars for walking and taking a bicycle.
More cities are starting to have car-free days to help with the pollution problems that are caused by automobile engines. Examples of these cities include Paris, France and Bogota, Colombia. Pollution is starting to be a big problem in big cities like these, so they have decided to take action. Pollution is destroying our atmosphere. The gases that are released from the exhaust of car engines slowly deteriorates the layer of atmosphere of our world. If cars begin to be frequently used like they are now, the atmosphere may become damaged beyond the condition for being fixed. Earth only has one atmosphere, so once it's gone, we can't get it back.
People in the United States are beginning to cut back on the number of people who drive cars. The U.S. has been one of the leading country with the number of people who drive cars and the amount of pollution, but people have been taking action and going for a greener alternative. In the fourth passage it says, "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009." A lot of people between 16 and 39 do not even have a driver's license. People are starting to take public transportation and carpool instead of driving their vehicles from point A to point B. With more and more people doing this, it just lessens the amount of emmisions in the atmsophere more. America has passed it prime for driving because of the more and more who are taking action in making a change in the health of our world.
In conclusion, there are many reasons that we should start to lessen the amount of people driving on the road. It just causes pollution and makes the health and well- being of others and the earth worse. People are already beginning to make a change, but we need more than there is to make a difference. | 4 |
3ebc796 | Have you ever heard of the audacious "Seagoing Cowboys Program"? Let me tell you right now, when I joined, I knew that was the best desicion I ever made. My demeanor was a lot more joyus then ever before. I knew that helping and saving inocent people and animals was the right thing to do. When you join this program, you get to travel the world; help people that survived WWll; save animals; and much much more. I vehemently suggest that you join this audacious progam. You will have numerous amount of fun with me, Luke Bomberger, and my buddy Don Reist.
Let me tell you about some of our adventures. One time we went to the melancholy country, Europe. WWll had just taken place there, and we were helping them recover from this disasterous war. We were collecting numerous amounts of food for them to consume, we recovered their sweet inocent animals, and much much more. I can tell you one thing, after we left that melancholy country, thier demeanors definatley changed. They were very exuberant, and they thanked us more than you could ever possibly imagine. Don and I were off seeking to find more adventure.
After we left the melancholy country, Europe, we headed to Acropolis, Greece and Venice, Italy. But the real adventure was going to China. At China, we cattle-boated, and took care of the sweet animals. Taking care of these animals sure kept me busy. They absolutley had to be fed; and watered at least two or three times a day. Their smelly; nasty stalls had to be cleaned, and bales of hay and oats had to be pulled up from the lower part of the ship. I helped my aunt out on the farm as a boy, and it had prepared me for hard work. The hard work at the farm sure didn't prepare me for this hard work on the ship.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy was more than an adventure for me. I am grateful for this oppertunity; this made me more aware of what other people's needs are. This program opened my eyes. The "Seagoing Cowboys Program" will forever be my favorite program. I was truely blessed with that exiting oppertunity. I am going to join again next year, you will see my name on the list, Luke Bomberger. I hope to see yours on the list also. | 3 |
3ec8931 | Aliens vs. Knowledge
Twenty-five years before 2001, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft spotted a landform in the shape of a face on Mars's surface. This, after being released to the media, caused an uprising of speculations. Did aliens make this? Were there other beings on other planets? Are we not alone?
A famous scientist once said that we researched for other life on other planets because humans didn't want to be alone in this vast galaxy. He also said that it could cause either fear or excitement. The media wanted to grab the attention of the common people, and to do that they needed something extraordinary. The media spins the truth to benefit their needs. You can't believe everything they say because all they can do is gain by your speculation.
NASA hardly thought this was the work of aliens. They didn't want the people to think they were lying, they wanted to seek the truth. Even if they were hiding something, they could only ever lose everything for covering it up. More attention on the dying out NASA program would gain the support and money to fund them. So, on April 5, 1998, they sent another spacecraft to take pictures of the landform.
Not everyone thought the image that came up, the one of a landform, sufficed. They argued that it was probably too hazy and that the image wasn't a reliable resource. They said that the haze was blocking the alien markings.
Again, NASA sent another spacecraft in 2001 to take better pictures in different angles. The picture showed a landform much like a butte or mesa here on Earth. Some people stated that it was a conspiracy.
Mars has unique quirks like every planet. Here on earth we have natural landforms such as a mesa, and mountains, and rivers. Mars isn't much different.
Scientists have special catogories for classifying a planet, and Pluto did not meet those requirements. So, every planet has to have at least one thing in common with another. Just beacause Mars is a different planet, doesn't mean that it can't have landforms much like those on Earth.
To say that one planet has aliens because of a landform, is to say that we are aliens as well. Don't we have mountains? Yes, you might say, but it's because of tectonic plates pushing against each other. Science has taught us many things, so now we know something foreign to people back then.
Take Christopher Columbus as in example. Before he sailed the ocean, everyone thought that the earth was flat. After he disproved the theory, people saw the earth for what it was: a round, water planet. Another great example would be Galileo, who disproved the theory that Earth was the center of the galaxy and the sun and everything else rotated around it. People had to have curiosity, and the willpower to go on with these expeditions. After they disproved a theory, it made more sense, and the world around us just is. Now, we don't question on how the mountains were made. We don't question on why we have day and night.
We are more educated now, but there are still things we haven't learned. That's why people should have a more open mind about finding the truth. Once we find the truth, we'll move on to bigger things and so on and so on. This mystery is one which piques people's interest, but turning to myth and false facts isn't the way to go. Exploring and learning from new innovations is what makes scientists who they are. They took the time to go through the process of being a certified scientist. To say you are smarter than one is disrespectful towards them, saying all their hard work was worth nothing.
So, to summarize, aliens did not make the landform on Mars. It was a natural occurence that got blown up into bigger proportions because the media wanted to satisfy their own needs to get profit. NASA knows what they are saying, and we should respect their statements until we ,for sure, know ourselves that the statement is false. | 5 |
3ec8e01 | I would just like to start off by saying that the reason why the author thinks that we should keep studing Venus no matter the dangers is because his words "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".
Other reasons we should study Venus is because there is so much more that people today do not know and I personallly feel like as long as we are here on Earth we should be currious about why only our plannet is the only plannet that has humans on it or at least they say. In the article they said "Venus may well once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system ". We as people should be and should want to be more nosey.
Not only do we people want study Venus but Venus wants us to study it. It is one of the easiest stars to see in the night sky. As the article says "Venus, sometimes 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".
I also would like to add that it would not be a bad idea to study Venus more bc we already have many facts about this planet so it is not like you would be starting completly from scratch. Some of the facts that we already know that was given to us from the article is "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus", "temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit", and "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system".
Lastly I would just like to say that I hope from reading this essay I was able to draw you in and hopefully make you more currious and questionable about Venus like would'nt you want to know what is out there or at least what used to be out there or even better what could possiabley going to happen out there. | 2 |
3ec9ea2 | When you think of "driverless cars" it sounds impossible, right? Well google is actually thinking of ways to make it happen. There are a lot of people who say yes to it, but also a lot of people who are very opposed to it. But me personally, I think it wold be a very useful and helpful thing. It would help transport faster and you'd be able to travel for a long time.
There are smart cars in the world. There have always been smart cars. But, why can't we take it to the next level of not even having to drive anymore? With driverless cars, you can get to places if you're in a hurry, and not even be late. Think of rushing out the door to catch a cab, jumping into the car without even having to stear or anything? It would help a lot of peoples lives especially with time.

3ed4755 | If you thimk it is a alien civilisation you are mistaken. If you think it is where is the evadence like houses. I think it is a natural land like we have here on earth. It can be an astriod hiting the earth or it could very well be a mountain like we have on earth. Another thing i think it could be is an un earupted valcanneo like an other thing we have on earth. Also it can be where the inside of the planit has bin pushed out to cause a natural land form. There can also be other things it can be. The people that think that it is an alien civilisation they have to back there rason up with a lot of information and very detaild information to get me on there side. Even then I probibly wont believe them it would have to be a very low chance i would take there side. | 2 |
3ed7d45 | " A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009". Limiting the use of cars from people is a great thing to consider. Cutting down the use of cars would reduce harmful toxins in the air that hurt our enviroment and help people save money.
Reduceing the car use of people today would help out our enviroment. To illistrate, smog is a seriosu problem, "cold nights and warm days caused the warm layer of air to trap car emissions"(Duffer, 15). The smog is not good for our enviroment, therefore we should cut down the use of cars to cut down the amouhnt of smog produced. If we maintain our Earth the way it needs to stay healthy then it wouldnt have lots of issues. Keeping up with the no car use "sociologist believe it will-it will have benifical implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment"( Rosenthal ,34). America's second largest cause for emissions is transportation. We should completely stop or dirastically reduce the amount of car use. These new changes will help our enviroment stay clean and save our Earth.
Another example of why we should controll the car use is because it will save people money. Now that "118 miles of bicycle paths" (Selsky, 27) have been made people wont have to drive cars. Cars cost a lot more money than a simple bicycle does. You also dont have to maintain a bicycle as much as you do a car. | 3 |
3ef0ccb | There are many reasons that limted car usage would be good. 70 percent off familys in french and swiss boarder do not own car they dont need them."When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way,". 57 percent of people sold there car and moved there."All development since world war II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change,".
In paris they banned cars for a little will because of the pollution making smog. Any one found driving would be fined. Almost 4000 people were fined for driving on that monday and 27 people has their cars impounded for thier reaction. After 5 days the the smog started to leave and they could see beijing, china which are the most polluted citys in the world. In france 67 percent of cars are diesel.
In colombia on car free day people kiked, biked, skated or took the bus on car free day. It was the third start year they had to ban cars to reduce all the smog and people who didnt listen had to pay 25 dollar fine. For the first time other places joined the event to help with the pollution." These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders,".
Obama's studys show that more and more americans are not driving and not getting there licenses as each year goes by. And they wonder has america passed peak driving. On april 2013 the number of miles driven per person went down 9 percent.
in conclusion it is better to not drive for a little than to drive to help pollution from getting really bad. | 2 |
3ef2980 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author has suggeted to study Venus a worthy pirsuit despiting the dnagers it presents. Venus is the second planet from the Sun . Venus is a bright star in the night sky , we can see Venus from dis but is very challenging to see up close . Venus is the closest planet to Earth referring to size and density . At time we are closer to Mars and sometimes we are closer to Venus . In this essay I will be talking about all the dangers to study Venus and sending humans to go study Venus .
We all may think Venus is a beautfiul planet , there is nothing wrong with Venus , why can't we just land on Venus and study it ? Well , we were all wrong Venus is one of the most dangerous planet to land on . Venus is covered with almost 97% of carbon dioxide , which makes it challening to see because of all the clouds of sulfuric acid . In paragraph 3 it states "On the planet's surface, temperatures avergae over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." This quote is staing how dangerous Venus can be . It also states "such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and
would liquefy many metals." As I have been saying Venus is too dabgerous to go study but the author believes we should anyway . As the author suggest that studying Venus , here is why and how we should study Venus . NASA has an idea for sending humans to study Venus . In paragraph 5 it states "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." Humans can survive studying Venus using the propers ways to prevent anyone from dying. In the paragraph it states "temperatures would be toasty at around 170 degrees fahrenheit , but the air pressure would be close to of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful , and radiation would not exceed earth levels . Not easy conditions , but survivabal for humans." This quote is stating that we can be able to survive those type of conditions . Therfore , we can be able to study Venus by sneidng humans , despite the dangers Venus presents.
As we can see anything is possible , even if Venus has some very dangerous conditions . Throughout this essay , the author suggests studying Venus worthy because for one humans , people would like to know what Venus is like . Many researchers are trying their best to land or hover over Venus despite the dangers . Overall , this essay is like a challenge to see if any human can survive and get any information of Venus . | 4 |
3ef5d91 | Indead, using a car is important when traveling far distances. When fellow citizens dont traval far they can easily limit car usage. There are antiquet number of advantages of limiting car usage. It can help reduce greenhouse emissions and helping our socient without depending on our automobiles.
To begin with, limiting car usage can help reduce greenhouse emissions from tail pipes. According to experts in source 1: In German Surburb, Life Goes On Without Cars
"Experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emmisions from tailpipes.... passenger cars are reponsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe.... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States."
These statistics are very high in our air pollution and can even get higher as time pases. Just with taking your bike to school, work, and other hobbies you are saving fossil fuels and most importantly you are reducing air pollution!
in addition to limiting car usage, we can help our society without depending on their automobiles. As stated in
"In German Surburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America, stated "all of our developement since World War II Has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." Indead this has to change because one day your automobile mightbrake down in the middle of getting to work or other hobbies. There is one thing for sure a bike wont break down and your to legs wont either.
Generally speaking, there are antiquet number of advantages on limiting car usage. Walking or riding a bike down a couple blocks help reduce air polluton. Your are saving our atmostphere and our Earth by riding a bike to a convinience store. Before driving your automobile down a couple of blockes ask yourself if you have to or if you need to! | 3 |
3f02e1c | "The Search For Venus"
Venus is know as a planet, sometimes called the "Evening Star". It's even called the earths twin because both Earth and Venus have the closest terms of density and size. even sometimes closests in distance, but scientist have to realise the danders of Venus, "its proven a very challenging place to examine more closely" reasons why is because due to the thick atmosphere of 97 percent which is carbon dioxide that blankets Venus.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is planning to send humans to study Venus and learn more about it.
There soultion for them to be able to do this is that due to the hostile conditions of the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray, example like they said "imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the landscape." which what they would be doing if they were to float above it. The only bad thing about what they are trying to do, is the dangerous conditions.
Its far more extreme than what any human has encountered on Earth. Reasons why is because Venus has clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in it's atmosphere. It's temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet.
It would be best for scientists to study more on the planet of Venus and on how the atmosphere works, and how we can adapt to it'senviorment if we can even adapt to it with out anything bad happening. Which we do have the technology to do all this, but it will take time to make sure everything should be how it should be so that things are capable of the planets atmosphere, like a rocket ship that could be launched to Venus.
Like for example if NASA just built a rocket ship and launched it to Venus without knowing the outcome it could end bad. Reasoning to this because they might not have knew the temperature of the planet, or maybe not even know what the atmosphere is capable of doing to the ship or the humans if they were to go on a mission. It took years to study Mars, and NASA is still finding stuff out about Mars to this day.
They said "just exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin." What they are saying is that if we do not study Venus enough a mission could go really bad which will no be good nor NASA. Due to what we didn't know about the planet. Just sending out a ship to Venus with out not knowing what can happen would never be a good idea, better safe than sorry.
The author is right about his ideas that studying Venus would be a worthy pursuit despite what could happen, because they can take the time to study more and more and figure what the planet is like, no matter how long it might take to reach the planet and get to get up closer to the planet wihtout anything going wrong.
Not every planet is the same, and why isbecause how the solar system works. Like Mercury its closest to the sun and the planet is not capable of having life living on it due to how hot it is. So it's a good idea for scientists to study the plants before just making a mission to Venus. | 4 |
3f03e94 | Changing our ways on how we use cars for the better? Is it just so happen that people are using there car less than usual? In many places like Germany, Paris, Bogota are changing the ways to use cars. To reduce every little problem cars are causing. Traffic jams, smogs, and reducing greenhouse gas emmisions, people are getting smart about using there cars everyday. Maybe people are tired of using all cars of the time.
When people buy car, it gives them alot of freedom knowing they area able to go where ever they're heart desires. Lately people aren't feeling the whole waiting in traffic if theres an accident or just to much cars. Bus rides, trains, taxi are helping reduce this. People can go somewhere without waiting that long just for a little price. In Germany there are new laws where they put a prices to put cars and there is only certian places you can put there cars at. 70% of families in Germany have do not own cars and 57% sold there cars because of this new law? You would think thats people would complain about having cars and having no place to put them. But many people are accuatly happy that they put this new type of law. Many people prefered to have this happen.
Smogs? what are smogs? smogs are grey clouds that hurt is in ways we dont even know. Cars emmit these deadly gases and we dont know it. Cars arent the only one who emmit they clouds of grey smoke, factories emmit this also. Which is not helping our ecosystem at all. In Paris they had an order to help redude this problem. On mondays motorists with even-numbered liscense plates were ordered to leave their cars at home which on the following day people with odd numbered liscenes plates were doing the same thing if they did not follow this ruling they were have to suffer a thirty one dollar fine. This helped alot with the smog.
Places like Germany and Paris arent the only one who are changing the ways. In Bogota they have a car free day which only allows you to take a bicycle, taxi, buses or whatever you want but do not take a car or suffer the rath of fine. Going on for three years now people are saying they enjoy these types of days because everything is more relaxing it reduces stress and air pressure which is a really good thing. Even when it rains it doesn't stop people from participating from this. There is even a 118 mile bicycle path that shows how much people want to change the way they use cars. "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city: uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaces by broad, snooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."
Many sciencetists are believing that the car culture is coming to an end. Cars sales have drop alot. People are taking the bus, taxis, and even trains to avoid traffic. "What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household and per person started to come down two to three years before the downturn." Younges ages don't even drive till the age of 21 or they don't even care till then. They can usually care poll to places like partys, mall and the beach. They don't need a seperate car for each person when they are all going to the same place. Which is feel its a good and bad things. Its good because poeple are caring more that were causing harm to our own home and that they know that they can do all they want together and still have fun. It causes harm to busineses many stores could go out of business.
It does not matter if we try to stop using cars or not we are always hurting in some other way. Traffic jams, smogs and reducing greenhouse emmisions are just the begining of this all. We can do way more if we put out mind set to it. | 4 |
3f0b178 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes the new facial recognision technology called the Facial Action Coding System(FACS). This system claims to read emotion expressions. I think that the FACS could help sience in understanding the emotions and muscle relationship and think it is a valuble thing in classrooms.
Some possitive thing about the new technology are adaptation and improvment. With this new technology we can use it to adapt different things like ads and school lessons. Ads can sometimes completely take out the interest on the viewers for the video and can be sometimes unpridictable. This has happend numerous times in classrooms when a teacher wants to show a documentary that is all ready slighty borring and an ad showing an exciting new superheroes movie comes up So now you have the entire class talking about it and not paying any atention to the documentary about Charles Darwin and what he did. Having these distracting ads adapt to what the audience is feeling could help bring down the amount of times this happens. The FACS could also help in computer lesson planing. If the FACS would be installed in a computer the computer would be able to realise that a student is no longer paying attencion becouse of boredom. So system can then improve what the lesson has by chnging the order around to give the student a more personalised lesson thus having the student learn easier.
There are some bad feedback as well. If the FACS system succeds in improving the academic scores of the students the school administration might deside that the teacher are no longer needed to teach the student, the students could just study in there cmputers. Another way the FACS could not be so good is that it is likely to be very expencive and there is ways a possibility it can malfunction and give unwanted changes in lessons and other sections in which it would be used.
In conclusion I think that the FACS could be of great help in the world if it could be 100% reliable. This system could benifit the every day use if used corectly and I think that the FACS could help sience in understanding the emotions and muscle relationship. I think it is a valuble thing in classrooms. | 3 |
3f0cd78 | If professors were able to read their students emotions through their facial expressions from a computer, it would very well help the students in the long run and the teacher to make improvements. This kind of technology will help students and teachers form a better trust, help make teaching improvements, and learning improvements. A computer able to do that, will be valuable to all teachers and to those who want to better their education.
Even when someone fakes an expression, the zygomatic major and the risorius (facial muscles) will tell so. If a student were to perhaps lie after being confronted for cheating, the computer would be able to read his facial expressions and tell if it is geniune or not. With a computer reading yours and others facial expressions daily, it may help the classroom build a better trust with eachother. The computer will tell their true emotions, even when some try to hide it.
When the professor is teaching something that the students may not understand, they will be confused. Sometimes the teacher is so deep into the learning lesson, they will not realize when some students are not understanding. A computer will help by reading their facial expressions and send a message to the teacher explaining so, then they can realize they either need to slow down or go over it again. This helps the teacher understand the progress of where their students are at and how to better their teaching.
When a subject has caused students to grow bored, the computer will send a message to the teacher and he may make it more interesting, or change it up a bit. Said by Dr. Huang, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communications..".
Sometimes students will not raise their hand when they have a question or are confused to avoid making themselves look foolish for not knowing. The teacher may take in consideration from the message sent from the computer that he needs call out on those students, getting them more involved. This will help shy students better their learning possibilities.
In conclusion, technology that is able to read facial expressions and tell how that person is feeling will improve all learning schools. The technology helps build a stronger trust, since the technology makes it impossible for people to hide their emotions. It will also value students and teachers, helping improve their learning zones. | 4 |
3f0f953 | Dear State Senator you guys should consider abolishing the electoral college and keep the popular votes for president of united states. The electoral college is unfair , outdated and also irrational. The Electoral college is unfair because the winner take all all system in each state.
The electoral college was established by the founding fathers in the constitution as a compromise etween the election of votes. The votes consist of about 538 electors. About 270 elector votes is required for president. Its not fair because other people votes dont count if 270 votes count for president election. The Electoral college is regarded because the selecting of the president should be declared by the president who which recieves the most vote
Why i think changing the election to the president with the most votes will help because its gives the president more opportunity or chance to have a fair election. Its not fair that alot of people vote and only about half of their vote counts.
In Conclusion I Think Changing the election to the one with the most votes will be more fair. They should also abolish the electoral votes because its unfair , outdated , and irrational for 538 people to votes and only 270 votes count toward the election on order for the president to. | 2 |
3f15b98 | The author supports the evidence by giving examples of how venus is almost the same as earth. He also gives evidence of mars and venus being the best options to send drones and crafts to and says facts about venus and mars says that venus could of been just like earth a long time ago and could of had oceans all over its world. mars could of had oceans too craft that were sent to mars came back with sea chells and other ocean like things and mauntains look like the ones that we have here on earth people thing that venus and mars were both the same as earth but just died out and became deserts and eveything died on them. " Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too". "the planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." these quotations show that the author is giving evidence on how Earth and Venus are kind of the same and how we can live on venus. These quotations also show facts about the features of venus and how it is similar to earth in many ways. the conclusion to my essay is that the author backed up his answer pretty good and had alot of good evidence in the story to back him up he also explained everything really well and answered all his questions with evidence to back them up and gave facts about more things like the temprature and how mars is the same and has almost the same features as Earth too and venus. | 2 |
3f1888d | Many people thought that the face on Mars was created by aliens. I do not agree with that statement because there is no evidence supporting that theory. However, there is evidence supporting that the face is merely a landform that was created naturally. Throughout the article, it shares ideas from NASA, which is the foundation that discovered the face on Mars in the first place.
The first statement that the article makes about the face being a natural landform is, "New high-resolution images and 3D alimetry from NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa." This one statement shows that NASA, one of the biggest names in space industry, believes the face is only a mesa. The people back in the Jet Propulsion Lab must have been surprised to see such a startling sight, but luckily NASA provides more information to show that the face is only a simple landform.
The text provides a caption from the message unveiled by NASA. The caption states, "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." This exact caption says the exact proof that the face is clearly just a rock formation. Every person should already know how shadows can, well, cast shadows that may give illusions of other objects.
Some people that believe in aliens may say that it would be crazy to think that a rock formation and shadows could form the illusion of a face, but I've seen shadows that are casted when the sun hits them just right. Isn't it completely logical that the sun could hit the shadows to fill the holes in the rocks? I sure believe so.
The last quote I would like to give as my evidence is, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size, so if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you couold see what they were!" This single statement shows that the cameras they were using to the maximum resolution, would in fact show if there was actually an alien artifact on the planet. But the strongest possible photo showed no ancient alien artifacts. It only showed a natural rock formation with shadows that formed what appeared to be a face. | 4 |
3f19352 | Is the use of a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System valuable to read the emotional expressions of sudents in a classroom?. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'alto, the author describes how a new technolgy called the Facial Action Coding System enables computer to identify human emotions. It is a new software that has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others, and, has promissing applications for a variety of industries. The use of this new technology is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because it recognizes whether a sudent is boring or confused, it detects 6 basic emotions and even mixed and it hepls the person not only to express the emotions but to produce them.
School brings a lot of emotions to the students, they might be good or bad feelings. But the most common feelings seen by the techers are boredom, and confusion from the students, sometimes the teachers are not able to identify those emotions, since students just might fake a smile and the teacher will be satisfied that the student is doing just fine or thewy might be confused but afraid to speak up so they just sit there like everything is just normal. So, how might the teacher be able to identify these emotions? The Facial Action Coding System has the answer. In the passage it states "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored". It also states "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective e human instructor". By this evidence , the author tries to persuade the reader to get more into this new technology and how it is just not a software but a valuable thing. With this technology it would be easier for the teacher to identify when one or more students are bored; this would allow them to think throught about changing a new method to teach so the studetns don't get bored in class. It also helps them to notify when a student is confused on a topic, so the teacher would be able to take the necessary time to explain and explain until the student is able to understand the new topic learned. The mayority of students nowdays don't care about school or just don't get the new topic learned, but teachers try their best to help them, but they think everything is just fine, so they don't bother on asking or trying harder. Communication is the key to success but they don't implement it, so what is best than a new tehnology to help out a little.
There are 6 basic emotions; happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and there are even people that have not only one but two mixed emotions at the same time.. Wouldn't it be great to be able to recognize when a person is having these emotions?. This new technology is here to help. In the passage it states "Eckman has classified six basic emotions... and then associated with characteristic movements of the facial muscles". It also states "The software can even identify mixed emotions (as in Da Vinci's masterpiece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face(showing no emotion)". This evidence illustrates by the aouthor shows how great and advanced this technology is, being able to identify not only one emotion, but more than one at the same time, letting the world know, but most important the teachers in a classroom that they don't have to worry more about to be able to identify by guessing how a student is doing, because this technology has the answers. It is so hard to identify when a person is feeling all types of feelings and not be able to help out becuase no one knows what the mixed feelings are . Teachers have a rough time with students trying to figure it out. But with ths technology teahcers would be more notified of the problem, so they create a scenari to help them out.
Emotions are everywhere, everyone experience at least one of them. This new technology not only helps the person to express an emotion but to produce them. A teacher in a classroom is able to teach but sometimes they are not able to transmit the feeling of learing to the students, and the new technology Facial Action Coding System would be a lot of help. In the passage it states "The Mona Lisa is really intented to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do". It also states "Most human communication is nonverbal, incluiding emotional communication". By this evidence the author projects how this new technology is capable of doing just anything and how it helos to improve the best on a classroom, helping out not only the students but the teachers. With this new technology teachers would be able to get the students to be more interested in the class, leading them to get a good grade, and to the understanding of every new topic.
Now, Do you think this new technology called the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom?. By being able to detect 6 basic emotions and even mixed emotions, to recognize whether a student is bored or confused and by helping the person not only to express the emotion but to produce it, it is shown that this new technology is valuable. Communication is one of the basic steps to create a better living world but sometimes communication is just not implemented in society. So the help of this new technology is needed. A teacher woulld be able to help a student is they knew if the students where confused or bored. They would try different types of ways to get back the attention of the students so they can do good in the calls. Another reason is being able not only to know one emotion but multiple emotions; Teachers wouldn't have to be guessing the emotions of the studetns, and the time lose trying to guess their emotions, they would be finding ways to help the student solve their problem, becuase they already know what is going on. In the classroooms it is very hard for the sdtudents to concentrate in a very boring topic, and the teachers just will continue beuase the sdtudents just don't communicate or show anything else than just a black emotion and this new technology is able to get the person to express the emotion. Is really interesting what this technology can do. | 5 |
3f198e7 | Could you see a software reading your facial expressions? Do you think this would be something to actually look into and have in the future? Well honestly, letś get into details about the Facial Action Coding System and find out what it would actually do.
First off, I would like to get into paragraph four it had stated and I quote by Dr.Huang "Even though individuals often show varying degrees of expressions" this is something that can maybe interfer with the program what if the expressions are to hard to read. Also, stated in this paragraph the author is talking about the ¨video imagery¨ to recognition software it would track the facial movements. Would that actually be safe a software to basically record or video the movements of your face and show what is going on in that moment. Would people actually know when this software is up and running and videoing these peoples faces?
Now, letś get in more detail about this program and what happens when your in a classroom and it could show what youré actually feeling. Would you want a computer software to know what your feeling in that moment and it would also show your teacher how you felt about the project or assignment you were doing. This could actually be a huge disaster or it could be helpful to the teacher and students. Some students may feel down but show happiness instead of actually letting someone know their true feelings. This would actually be a huge help to the teacher to help the student feel better and see what is going on with them.
Therefore, would this actually be a good idea and safe or would this just be dangerous? Well thereś an answer to that question and it would not be a good idea.This article does not state when the kids would know when and if this software is actually on. Also, if you really read it toward the end it states ¨Putting on a happy face actually works!¨ ¨A renowned drama coach, Constantin Stanislavsky, had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage.¨ So, some people may or may not be coached and could actually trick the software. Nowhere in this article states that they could garentee 100% acurate results.
So in conclusion, this would not be okay for students some may actually get a few things past this program. This program cannot garentee the 100% accuracy we need to actually let this program go through. As I stated earlier students may have been coached to show a different side and could trick this system. | 4 |
3f19bd4 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. I'll be using details from the article to form an eassay arguing whether the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of the students in a classroom is valuable. I'll be sure to include, a claim for or against the value of using ths technology to read student' emotional expressions, evidence from the article to support the claim, and an introductions, a body, and a conclusion to my essay. The reasons i'm going to use are why it's valuable, how we can use it to help other, and how to use it correctly.
First of all let me explain the passge, the passage talks about how we can use technology to identify human emotions. How is this technology valuable, well it's very valuable. The FACS (Facial Actions Coding System) which is the technology that identify humans emotions, can let us see how everyone is. We can use the FACS everywhere that will help us to help people. Help everyone, and even animals. Help everyone in there time of need. Help those whom don't want help. Those who can't control themselves. Those that can't think correctly. Those whom are at the blink of death. A lot of people and so many more lives can be save with this technology.
How can we use it to help others? We can use the FACS to identify human emotions and help the ones that are sad. We can help them before somethings happens, like we can prevent a school shooting if we know how the persons feels. We can give them all the help they need. No lives have to be lost if we know how everyone feels. We can even stop people from killing themselves, we can change lives with this technology. We can even help those who don't want help because they are people to that are hurting. We have to help those in need and I know we can do it with the help of the FACS and change the world. It would be a lot safe out there. We can do all of this because of FACS and that's why i think its very valuable.
But there always a correct time to use this. If we can tell if someone is really depress that's when we do something because it's hard to control yourself when you are really sad. We shouldn't just wait and see what happens, we have to do something about it, because we are all human. If we see someone very depress we try to cheel them up, but what if we can't tell. That's also another example when we should use them. We can stop things from happening, bad things.
Futhermore I believe that the use of this technology can be very useful in many ways. In my essay i have show you why it's valuable, how we can use it to help other, and how to use it correctly. I also include a claim for or against the value of using ths technology to read student' emotional expressions, evidence from the article to support the claim, and an introductions, a body, and a conclusion to my essay. This technology called the FACS (Facial Actions Coding System) which is the technology that identify humans emotions, can help many people in there life, make it easliy for us to help those people, can help save people lives from hurting themselves or others, and make us prevent school shooting, people killing themselves, and save people life in many ways. | 3 |
3f19c05 | How would exploring venus be dangerous? Well first of all in the text is states that the planets surface is an average of over 800 degrees fahrenheit. Thats pretty hot compared to the temperatures that we get here in the US. Some countries may be hotter than others but no one is near 800 degrees. That would be a very dangerous trip for any one knowing how hot it is there. It also states that the atmospheric acid pressure ios 90 times greater that what we experience on pur own planet. It also states that this type of environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals. Yes I agree that many people would want to see up close what things are on Venus but now in time there is no way that we could get a human up there and get samples of things mainly becuase of the pressure and the temperature.
Studying Venus is a definant worth pursuit but like i said earlier the teperature and the pressure is to hard for any human to get up there. Getting even a rock from Venus would help us learn things about the planet that we may not even know about today. They said in the passage that they have gotten robots out to venus but that is still hard to tell anything because Venus is a very cloudy planet, but even with a robot it is still hard to tell anything because of the fact that robots are good but they can't always work the way that you want them to work. In the passage it asks why scientists are discussing further visits to its surface? thats a good question that I would even ask them. The answer to that question is that astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well one have been the most Eart-like planet in ur solar system. It says that long ago venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. From what people and scientists have said today about Venus it doesn't sound like it has that anymore. If it is 800 degrees on that planet all the oceans are gone and I don't think that they will return because of that. If your planet is 800 degrees all your oceans are dried up and any type of water is dried up as well.
I agree with the claim that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. If you go to Venus you will most likely die but if you don't go how are we going to study anything from that planet, and how are we going to learn anything about the planet itself. It says in the passage striving to meet the challenges presented by venus has values, 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 intimidating endeavors. Our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but shold be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. In the is paragraph is is saying that even though venus would be very hard to research that we should saty with venus and one day be able to go their and study. even if it is dangerous, some sientists want to go their even for the danger that it may constist of. Going to Venus would be awesome but at the same time I don't know if going their for the risks that it has would be the smartest thing to do. You could go their and 5 minutes leater be dead. I wouldn't want to do that because I would want to live. Some people are different than me because they like adventure and getting out of their comfort zone but for me that wouldn't be the case.
Going to venus would be a huge sucess but the risks that it has I don't know if going their is worth it. Being able to study everything that it has on the planet would be huge. Learing about the things that go on there would also be huge to know. In the end If you as an individual would like to go the Venus and study the planet and the things that go on their you should go for it even at the dangers that it holds. If you are the type of person that enjoys adventure and learning about new things, I would say that this is the type of adventure that you would want to go on. I say this because of the simple reason that Venus has never been searched in depth, I mean in paragraphy two it states that spacecrafts that have landed their have only been able to survive for a few hours. obviously you could explore a little bit with this amount of time but with an entire planet it would be hard to only have a few hours to explore. you could definantly get a decent way with a few hours but because its an entire planet it would be very hard to discover new things because the craft can't go very fast and the craft can't move as fast as a human would be able to with a few hours. would you rather have multiple humans go out their and research or would you rather have one spacecraft go and research only one way for a few hours. Even if the humans know that they most likely would survive for very long. they could grab somethings that they could put into the shuttle and then the shuttle would return home and the scientists would be able to study later wen the shuttle returns home with all the possible things that the astronauts found on Venus. If Humans went out on a mission to study it states that 97 perscent carbon dioxide blankets Venus, and the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmostphere. (Paragraphy3) You know how hard it would be for someone to survive in that type of weather. If you send a astronaut to go and research you are basically asking one of you men to go up there and risk his life to study what is up there.
In the passage it says that Venus is often referred to as Earth's twin But I disagree with that statement. Venus is way more toxic and way for dangerous for humans to go up and study. For one thing the temperature is way to high and the amount of chemicals that could possibly kill you are things that are way to dangerous for any human to go and study. If you send a man up there you are asking him to die to research things that could be useful. if you step onto venus's land you are most likely going to die because of the difference on everything from what your used to. even is suits you are most likely going to die because of the differences. I know I wouldn't want to die. | 3 |
3f1cb8a | How awesome would it be to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program? Well, imagine touring crossing huge oceans and touring amazing places like Europe and China. Imagine taking a gondola to Venice, Italy. Or how about seeing the Acropolis in Greece. Seagoing Cowboys have the opportunity to explore these amazing places. It's not all about sightseeing though. You have to take care of horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas.
Pretty much anyone can join too! Luke Bomberger was working at a grocery store and a bank in the normal city, then the next thing you know, hes in a different country exploring. Its a big change to go through. It feels good to help out innocent animals in need. Although the trips to and from the sea can be dangerous, its very worth it to go join the Seagoing Cowboys program. Its kind of like being a cowboy and a pirate.
It is such a wonderful expierience to do this program. Its not something you can do everyday, its like being an NBA player, you cant just say you are one. You have to work for these things, only the greatest people get the opportunity to become great. Luke Bomberger was special, so thats why he qualified for the program. Being in the Seagoing Cowboys program is amazing, who wouldnt wanna be a pirate/cowboy. And that is why you should be in the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 3 |
3f27618 | Dear, Florida Senator
I believe that we should get rid of the electoral college system because it has so many flaws. The electoral college has robbed prsidental canidates like (Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob dole, & Al Gore) of their chance of becoming president, even after they won the popular vote, but their not the only ones who wants a change to the way we elect our presidents, recent studies show that over 60 percent of voters would like a change to the way we elect our president.
The second thing that is wrong with the electoral college is that your not voting for the president your voting for the electors who pledged to that person. Also people from larger states are complaining about what happens with a tie because if their is a tie the house of representives decide,but the thing that is crazy is that 1) representative from Wyoming would have a much say a the 55) representatives from California.
The third and final thing that is wrong with the electoral college is that the electoral college is unfair to the voters, because the winner take all system canidates don't spend a lot of time in states they know they will not win. Canidates will only focus on the areas that they know or have a strong chance of winning. Like the year 2000 campaign seventeen states did not see the Canidates such like Rhode Island, & South Carolina, so how do they think they feel not knowing the person running this country?
I strongly feel like you guys should really consider a change to the way we select our president.
Sincerly,

3f300cc | The Facial Action Coding System technology is a new thing to detect how people are feeling using the computer. The Facial Action Coding System is valuable in a classroom because it teaches students how to use new technology. Using this system shows the students what all jobs are avalible in the technology field too.
Using technology like this can help improve the way students use computers and help them get jobs. in the future. Most new jobs rely on some sort of technology or require you to know how to use it. With this new tech people might have a job lined up that they did not know about.
This technology can also be good for detecting if someone is feeling bad or is depressed. They can use this as a form of helping people out if no one can tell they are sad. For instence in paragraph three "Eckman had classified six basic emotions happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.". If they can use this to treat people who are not happy it can solve a bunch of problems in the future.
Since they can use this technology to see peoples real emotions they can tell students' emotional expressions. If they are sad they can do something to make them happy again and get better grades. I think this type of technology will become something greater than it already is. | 3 |
3f3d61b | Help wanted!
The Seagoing Cowboys program is in need of help from other herders.
Why would anyone want to do this? With the program, you are able to help out other people, do things you typically would not do, and have fun.
I think it is beneficial to join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you are able to help out people.
It is important to help people because not only does it benefit them, it benefits you as well by bringing joy in to your life.
In the text it states that in 1945,
World War 2 was over in Europe, and many countries were left in ruins.
This is just one reason why this program is beneficial.
Another reason why I think that joining the Seagoing Cowboys program is beneficial is becuase you get to do different things in your free time that you would not normally get to do.
In the text it says that they got to tour many places.
My final reason why I think that joining the Seagoing Cowboys program is beneficial is because you get to have fun.
In the text, it says that while they were unloading the animals, they played baseball, volleyball, table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading and even whittling.
These are just a few reasons why I think that people who join the program will have lots of fun.
In conclusion to all of this, I think the Seagoing Cowboys program is beneficial to all. | 2 |
3f3ff43 | My name is Proffesor Yado, and my colleague and I were discussing on the infamous "Face on Mars". My colleague believes in superstition and conspiracies so he stated that the face on Mars must be of extraterrestrial origin. I said that was porposterous, but my colleague continued to try and convince me to no availe. I told my colleague there are many reasons why the some scientists and people thought the "Face on Mars" looked like a face. I then procedded to tell him my reasons.
First off, cameras at the time were not as advanced as they are today. The cameras of the day would "distort the image and it would only capture the major features of the butte or mesa. The most recent image taken of the "Face on Mars" in 2001 looks very different from the original image taken in 1976. If there was a actual structure left by aliens, modern cameras would be able to see it. The the more modern cameras of today are able to see the more defining features of a object.
Secondly humans are remarkably good at seeing faces when there is not one there. When you look at a wall socket you can see what resembles a face when there is not one there. It is the same thing with the "Face on Mars". With the aid of shadows from the Sun, are ability to see faces when none are there, and the angle the picture was taken, the butte or mesa looks remarkably like a face or some alien made structure.
In response to what I said my colleague had some things to say to try and disprove me. Due to my colleague believing in superstition and conspiracies he believed NASA and the government are hiding the truth from us. He stated they were hiding this from us because of what happened with H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds, which caused a massive panic. The government don't want another mass panic so they have been keeping us away from the truth that aliens exist. My colleague also stated that possibly alien markings were hidden by haze as some other theorists thing so. I thought that was perpostourous but my colleague still believed the theory of aliens existing.
Even thoug hmy colleague still believes in the "Face on Mars" to be a alien made structure. I still believe it's only a butte or mesa. With my evindence of the "Face on Mars" only looking like a face due to the techonology of the time, the shadows of the sun, the angle the picture was taken, and our ability to see faces when none are there, I believe I have conclusive evidence that the "Face on Mars is nothing but a butte or mesa. | 4 |
3f4103d | I agree that changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States would be a better choice than to continue Electoral College. You may ask yourself why. Well, it's not fair to have to pick a random person to do something you should be the one doing. It's like saying you pick your neighbor to clean your house. Your house is still being cleaned, but not by you, instead, a random person you don't even know. Thus, continueing Electoral College is the same because in this case, the elector you pick and don't even know is going to make choices that at the end of the day you might not even agree on and you can't do nothing about it at that point.
During Elecoral College voters get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate. This means, there is too many names on the list that you most likely have never even heard in your life, therefore leading you to voting for the wrong candidate. Some electors aren't even faithful, instead of going for their party's candidate, they rather decide voting for whomever they please. Most likely leading to alot of conflict because the candidate is not even on their party and the voters would hate to have to follow someone else's rules, yet again, can't do nothing about it.
Voters would always love to control whom their electors vote for, but this will never happen with Electoral College. The whole point to me for the Electoral College is so that the people voting for the electors won't have any power against anything. So that the government continues to have power over the people. That can be great at some point, but sooner or later will cause confict because some people don't always agree with what the government has to say or do. Therefore, changing to election by popular vote for president of U.S would be much better than to continue Electoral College.
On the article,
"The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong
". States that "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad." Now right there is a perfect example of electors being "unfair". Electors want people to keep voting for them so that they can pick the candidates, yet, they always skip the part of showing who the candidates are. There is no why people will randomly guess how their candidates will end up being if they never even hear a few words from them.
In conclusion, I strongly believe changing to election by popular vote for president of U.S is a wiser decision than to continue Electoral College because it'll be fair to the people who are voting. People will start to get together to try and get to know the candidate, and most likely agree more to the idea than anything else. Mean while, Electoral College is a very unfair system because they have no idea who the elector is going to pick as candidate, and if they pick someone who they don't even know at the end of the day they will be stuck with a total stranger. | 4 |
3f42442 | The faicl action coding seems like a good idea. My claim is that it would be cool to go into a classroom and be able to tell what mood your are in. It says in the passage "a classroom computer could recognized when a student is becoming confused or bored." That would be a really cool thing to do at school. I think its a good idea asnd I am not going to argue about this suggestion. If you can walk into a classroom and you can tell if a child is happy, sad, confused or even just bored you will be able to know if they are okay. If a child is sad you can try and help them and out and see what is going on.
In the passage it says, "hold on, we can actually calculate emotions." well yes if you actually give it a try. It would be seriously so cool to know how someone feels just by looking at a screen when they walk into a classroom. I think it would help some students, honestly if you tried this expirement. Students wouldn't know what to think if they had this in their classroom. None can just walk into a classroom and tell if they are happy or sad. It says that "the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer of the face, all 44 major muscles in the model must move like humans."
They said that they have classified "six basix emotions- happiness, surpirse, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. This might help a lot of people out if they do this. If you can tell a kid is sad you can help the kid. Maybe he or she is having problems at home and they need help but they don't say it. The facial action coding system might help people. It's a good idea, but it's actually a reall good expirement to test it out and see whats going to happen. You can alwyas take it out if it doesn't work out, or if it does you can keep doing what you are doing and you'll be able to see kids facial expressions and what they feel when they tell you they don't feel anything.
Facial Action Coding is just a different way to expirement different things about children. Maybe teachers can bump their classrooms up to funner and more satisfying things, because you will know if a kid is bored in your cass if they have that. It says that "each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion)." Let's just try the facial action coding out and see where everything goes, but it seems like it's going to go good. I totally agree and I don't argue with this expirement. You learn something new everyday. | 3 |
3f46dfc | Step right up if you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy! None of you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy?! What is wrong with you people?! You guys have never heard of a Seagoing Cowboy! Then I will tell you what it is and convince you should do it.
First off Seagoing Cowboys get to travel to alot of places like Italy, China, Europe, greece, and ect. Sure it is dangerous but, think about all the people you could save. You can become a hero! You can also go exploring. Try new foods, do new things, go places have never been before. It is a fun new experience. You can bring your family with you and the whole family can do all those new things with you.
You're possible not going to like this part but, I have to say it, RESONSIBLILTY! You have to be responsible too because you have animals you have to take care of. It can be fun if you think about it a different way. This is edcational and if you do it right your parents might let you do more thing. You are showing them that you can be responsible. Jobs might also want to hire you beause you showed them that you can be responsible. People might want to be your friend because they want to be on those trips with you and, be a part of those fun thing. This part might not be the worst if you think about it.
These are the reasons why I think that you should become a Seagoing Cowboy. | 3 |
3f488c7 | I think that driverless cars could be a good thing or a bad thing, but I think that the pros out weigh the cons. First of all the numbers of deaths and car accidents would be derastically decreased. If all the cars were automated you would have no human emotions getting in the way of driving and there would be very few mistakes made on the road.
Driverless cars are becoming safer and safer over the years. The article states that Google has had cars that could drive independendtly under specific conditions since 2009. It is now seven years since that point and the reliability and the safety of driverless cars has gone up. If we have driverless cars the roads would be much safer. There are some people that are driving to and from work very early or very late at night. Withought a doubt these people are suffering from sleep deprivation. These people have a higher chance of having a car accident then the rest of the poppulation. If cars were driverless then these people would not have to worry about driving. In later years, as technology advances, they might have the oppurtunity to relax and maybe sleep on the car ride home or to work.
Because of these arguments I think that driverless cars are a very real possibility. I think that people underestimate the power of the computer and what it can do. I would have more trust in a highly inteligent computer to drive me somewhere then a taxi driver. As long as technology continues to progress and evolve I think that within a few years there will be a few driverless cars in the mix with our normal traffic. | 3 |
3f4a9c6 | Everyday the world and the technology around us is changing, evolving. It is something that has been happening since the biginning of time. It began with growing our own crops, then changed further with the development of communities and cities, and technology kept advancing with time. As technology has evolved, people have had to do less and less for themselves. Not everyone has to grow their own food or make their own clothes anymore. The world is at a time now where cars are not just a luxcery. To most people, they are a neccesity. The next advancement in that process, is the making of driverless cars. This would make our lives easier and our roads safer.
Driverless cars would not only be better for convienence, but also for costs and flexibility. In the text it states, "The cars he forsees would use half the fuel of today's taxis..." That would cut out fuel costs for most people, which takes up a lot of some families' income. Second, "...offer far more flexibility than a bus." This way, these cars may be able to pick someone up who lives in the country. They would not have to take a specific route everywhere. These cars would make our lives cheaper and easier.
The car would be able to funtion just as if a human driver was in the front seat driving the car. It would be able to analyze its surroundings. The text states, "Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an intertial motion sensor." This example from the text illustrates that cars would be able to know where they are going, know when other cars around, and see their surroundings just as a human driver would. Another example from the text, "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves..." The cars would be able to do these funtions and so much more from the minute the are done being built. Some of these skills take new drivers years to master.
Driverless cars could possibly reduce accidents and save lives. For example, "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." Human drivers may freeze under the pressure when a frightening situation happens, but these cars would be able to stop on their own to help prevent an acident. Another example, "Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays." This way if the car does need assistance from a human driver, the driver can be entertained until they need to be notified that they need to take over. This would be better since the entertainment automatically turns off, unlike when a person is texting and driving. This new equipment would stop so many people from being injured from car accidents.
Some people think that driverless cars may not be such a good idea. According to the text, "Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?" The cars' manufacturers have thought about this and have thought about installing am entertainment system that automatically shuts off when the driver is needed. The text also states, "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." While people may be used to human drivers, history has proven that technology can often make things easier and safer. While this technology develops this new car may be not only as safe as car with a human driver, but may eventually be safer. While there are still kinks to work out, driverless cars will someday be the new normal in the transportation world.
Driverless cars are being built and are getting ready to be made a reality to the world. Just like all new technologies, it will have its problems in the beginning, but all problems have solutions and room for improvement. People were worried the first time an airoplane flew on autopilot, but now they are used to it and pilots know it as what is normal. These cars will be another advancement made in human history. Driverless cars are going to make the world an easier and safer place. | 5 |
3f4c511 | The Natural Face
The Face is just a natural landform. I work as a scientist at NASA, and I know that the image taken of the face was not created by aliens. The article, "Unmasking the Face on Mars," tells how the truth is revealed. I can prove that the Face is just a landform and not some superstitious icon.
First of all, back in 1976, the quality of pictures and images probably aren't going to be that outstanding. The pictures are blurry and they are the first documented pictures of that landform. I know this because paragraph seven states, " And so on April 5,1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Oribiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos." Later in paragraph seven, the text says,
There was no alien monument after all." This is why the Viking's pictures aren't credible sources, and that people shouldn't trust the Face in that picture.
Now, some might say, back then, that the alien markings are hidden by the haze. The text in paragraph eight says why,"The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April '98-a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet." However, later pictures still prove that the alien creation was not real.
The MGS images prove that the Face is just another landform on Mars. This is because the MGS was able to get another photo. Paragraph 10 states, Nevertheless, on April 8, 2001-a cloudless summer day in Cydonia-Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look." At a moment like that, the time for taking a picture is perfect.
To add on to that cloudless day, the photo taken is eaxtroardinary. In paragraph 10 Garvin says, ""Malin's team captured an extroardinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution."" The paragraph also states, "Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to the 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." The quality is exceptionally clearer than the picture taken in 1976. The cracks and clear image show that there aren't any aliens, but that the Face is nothing but a huge rock formation.
In conclusion, the Face is just a rock formation on Mars. Back in 1976, the quality of pictures weren't that great. Through time though, the quality of pictures did get better, and the MGS was able to take a picture of the Face on April 8th, 2001, showing that it was a rock, or, "The Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West," as paragraph 12 says. The Face is a landform, not an alien creation. | 4 |
3f4fcbb | Are driverless cars safe? Majority of the world drives cars. Cars are used to get you from point a to point b. Cars are an example of moblie transportaion. Driverless cars shouldn't be on roads because they aren't safe, they seem too risky, and driverless cars are exspensive.
Firstly, driverless cars aren't safe. Driverless cars sound like a good idea but what if they cause trouble? According to the passage it states," Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers,
passengers, and pedestirans safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." If drivers aren't alert when driving driverless cars then it would cause a lot of accidents. In some states it's illegal to test computer driven cars.
Secondly, driving driverless cars seems too risky. You have to be alert when operating a driverless car, and this means you can't drink and drive. When you drink and drive in a driverless car you're putting yourself and others around you in more danger. If your driverless car's technology fails you could get injured and so could your passengers with you. Driverless cars need to be proven safe before they actually hit the roads.
Lastly, driverless cars are exspensive. The "smarter cars" would be really exspensive if they ever hit the market. If making the cars was so exspenive, imagine buying a driverless car. Cars that operate with a driver are also exspensive but they most likely cost less than driverless cars. Driverless cars shouldn't be worth your money.
In conclusion, driverless cars should not be on roads because they aren't safe, they could cause trouble, and their exspense could be really high. Driving cars is a responsibilty. If you don't take driving seriously you could get yourself in trouble and you can hurt or injure others. According to the article it states,"Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." I agree with this sentence from the article because with a human driver it could help keep driving a little more safer. | 4 |
3f5213f | It is my belief that the author has done a good job of suporting his claim that we should study Venus even with the present dangers. From the article I read I have three pieces of evidence from the text that will now support my claim.
In the first paragraph, lines 1-2, it is stated that Venus is oftencalled Earth's twin. this would be a major reason to study it, so we know what to do with it if we need to use it. It was also said in the same paragraph and lines that Earth is the same Density and Size of Earth, therefore it would be a good planet to study so we can learn more about planets that share sizes.
Another piece of evidence I have from the text is from paragraph 4, lines 3-5, "...It [Venus] may well once have been the most Earth-like planet on out solar system." That would be a major reason to study this planet, later in that paragraph it goes on to say how it may have had been covered in oceans and wildlife like Eath. Why wouldn't we study it.
That is why I belive the author did an excellent job of supporting his own claim that we should be studying Venus. | 2 |
3f57bee | Would being able to read a students emotion be good or bad? This essay is based off of opinion. However, I will tell you my opinion on the "Facial Action Coding System."
I think that being able to read students emotions could be a very good thing. Most people think hiding their emotions is better for them and sometimes it works but I think if teachers could read their students it could help with so many things. It could help teachers know when their students aren't doing well. When kids get upset they usually tend to not want to talk about their issues. This invention would help a lot in my opinion because if kids are wanting to harm themselves teachers acn get the kids help so that it doesn't happen.
In conclusion I think having that tool of being able to tell emotions without having to ask the student what is wrong, I feel it is a great things to have. I also feel there would be less and less people harming themselves. | 2 |
3f58f82 | I am a scientist at NASA who is trying to tell you that the landform you saw on mars is nothing more than just a natural landform. It may look like a face but it is really not. What it really is, is a natural landform that our viking took a picture of on one side of mars. The picture that you saw is nothing more than a picture taken at the right moment so that it makes it look like that mars has a face. The reason why it looks like it has a face is because the picture was taken at the moment on when the landform had a shadow at the certain places of the landform to make it look like it has eyes,nose, and a mouth. If you look at the picture from 1976 you can see that it shows more of the face and that it does look like a face. But then if you look at the picture taken at 1998 and 2001 you can see that the natural landform on mars is starting to break up and that the shadow on it is now sarting to fade away. So you won't have to worry about aliens giving out a message to us saying anything bad. It's nothing more than just a natural landform and a picture taken at the right moment. | 2 |
3f662e8 | The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is telling us what will happens in the future. The author said that Venus, sometimes 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 actually a planet. Venus is the second planet from our sun. While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely.
First, a Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely. Often referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of densitry and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. Venus is sometimes right around the corner-in space terms-humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, depite its proximity to us.
Second, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet. The author said that Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. The text also said that astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have suppirted various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venusstill has some features that are anologous to those on Earth.
Finally, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had one particulary compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. The author also include peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limeted insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot pernetrate the dense atmostsphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. NASA is also working on other approaches to studing Venus. 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 intimidating endeavors.
In conclusion, the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices ame calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions. The author also said that travels on Earth and beyound should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | 2 |
3f730ba | The facial action coding system has many promising applications, Mona Lisa has 83% of happiness 9% disgust 6% fearful and 2% ssanger. According to some new computer software that can reconize emotion the sofware is the latest innovation from prof. Thomas Huang, of the beckman institute for advanced science at the unversity of amsterdam. The process begins when the computar constructs a 3-D computar model of the face: All 44 mayjor muscles in the model must move like human muscles movement of one or more muscles in the model is called an "action unit" then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologist, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS. Eckman has classified six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristics movements of the facial muscle. I think i like the new technology that the person invented it can detect your emotins and feelings. And i doubt others can invent something like that | 1 |
3f73eef | The future is in the present. What seemed like a mere dreaming is now coming to life! New techology has helped with many advances today, for example smart cars. This concept is fairly new, but it has already sprouted problems. These dilemmas are complex; therefore, the world is still not ready for driverless cars.
Throughout the years many companies have tried to make this new idea happen, yet it is a new concept. "For example, in the late 1950s, General Motors created a concept car that could run on a special test track. ... These smart-road systems worked surprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." This shows that driverless cars are not a smart idea. Now a days people want something pratical and fast: smart-road systems are niether pratical or quick, because it would be expensive and it would take time for the roads to be upgraded. Once they saw the expensives it would take, they let go of the idea. After this idea of smart-roads epicly failed, other came up with the idea of smart cars.
Even though smart cars have been effective, they are still not able to drive themselves. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents," smart cars have programs to assists the driver,not to drive themselves. Humans will still have to be alert on the road, so it will not going to help the driver. What is the use of cars that can drive themselves, if when the driving conditions get tough humans will be needed?
Another important issue (if these driverless cars come out), is who will be to blame for if an accident happens- the "driver"
or the company? Because the person in the car will be assisting the car, the car should be to blame for. Since the smart cars are made to drive themselves, then all people involved in the accident would be victims.
Due to the information, it is safe to say that driveless cars are yet to be imereged into today's life. The people of today spend most of their day doing something, in my opinion they are ready to do nothing. Is one going to enjoy this break, though- maybe not, becasue though they are just passagers the car might need assists? Therefore there is no need for cars that will get only part of the job done. | 3 |
3f75229 | The Mona Lisa is a very impressive mix of emotions painted by the human artist Leonardo Da Vinci. However, is using a computer program that uses coding to analyze someone's feelings effective? There are two sides to every story, sometimes one may sound good, while the other bad; other times, we may see ourselves approaching both sides and seeing the pros and cons of each. Having a computer read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom can be both effective, and ineffective for several different reasons. Some of these reasons may include: emotional state, lesson planning, facial structure, critical thinking, puberty, and more.
The emotional state of most kids in school can vary on a day to day basis. Not every kid is always happy, and not every kid is always sad. By having a computer that can read and detect emotions, people might not feel the need to try and read each other's emotion. This would lessen their contact with their peers and lessen their ability to comprehending and understand other people's emotions and situations. Teachers might also worry if they detect that a student is sad, or angry.
On the other hand, having a machine that can detect emotions may be helpful to some students. As stated in the article, If most, or all, of the class is confused, this machine would help the teacher detect the confusion and help him or her explain in a way that the student's can understand. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." In this quote, we see how this computer could help adapt a better lesson plan for confused or uninterested students. If a student is depressed, anxious, or something of the like; the teacher can pull them off to the side and send them to a counselor to talk about it and help them feel better. However, we may wonder if the student is actually feeling this way.
If a technology like this is used, it will obviously have loads of coding in it. Sometimes there can be flaws in coding, or someone that can hack into it and change it. To have such a sensitive thing in a classroom may be dangerous for some students. Another point is that not everyone has the same facial structure. Some people even have deformities or problems that make their appearance different than other people's. If this is the case, how would the program know to seperate these people with the facial recognition of everyone else? People express themselves differently, and most have different facial expressions, if people begin to depend on a computer to detect emotions, how will they be able to identify different emotions themselves?
This leads to the point of critical thinking. As stated previously, students who rely on a program to detect their classmate's feelings may not try to interpret these feelings themselves. These students would go off into the real world without knowing how to identify if someone is feeling angry, sad, annoyed, or more. This lessons their social and critical thinking skills that are needed in day to day life. Perhaps this program could work on kids of certain age groups instead of every classroom.
In late middleschool and early highschool, most kids are turning into teenagers. This means that they start going through puberty. Puberty is a stage in life where kids start "growing up" and maturing. Mood swings are constant, as well as several other feeling and emotions that are caused by hormones in their bodies. In a classroom full of teengers going through hormonal changes all at once, the computer may detect many negative emotions, or mix of several different emotions that are caused by mood swings. Teachers may again become worried if their students are all anxious, sad, annoyed, bored, etc.. There are many other reasons as to why this machine might be useful and why it may not.
These are some of things that can be positive or negative about a system that can detect emotions in a classroom. There are definitely many more which could be debated back and forth. In my personal opinion, I do not think schools need a machine that detects emotions. I feel that it is creepy, and instead of showing my emotions, I would try to conceal them from everyone. If I feel this way, how would millions of others feel? The emotional state, lesson planning, facial structure, critical thinking, puberty, are all things that are factors of, or may be affected by this machine. Some are positive, some are not so positive. All in all, if this were to ever come to our schools, we would need a long and difficult discussion to put an end to the debate. | 5 |
3f761e1 | Ask yourself, would I like to see driverless cars for public transport? I mean even if you did not there are a ton of positives with it. In the passage it gave tons of examples of why it is good and why it is bad to have driverless cars. Some readers such as me are on the positive side and others are on the negative side. One individual will not decide the entire decision on whether we have driverless cars or not but it might help. The future of driverless cars is in our future as we know it.
In the passage it says that driverless cars have drove over a half a million miles without a wreck! That is a ton of miles without a single wreck, I bet that is way less wreck than what a human driven car has. In my mind that is one huge advantage to the driverless cars because it would help with less accidents and be safer for everyone around. Even though they are not completely driverless that is still very impressive, I mean the only time they driven would be in and out of driveways for the car to get started. The car stops at stop signs and lights by itself and has had no crashes, that is unbelievable!
With all the people driving and all the cell phones around you can imagine that people still text and drive even though it is illegal right? If you have a driverless car people will stop texting and driving and start texting and ridiing. With the driverless cars those people who think they need o get a text off every minute will actually be able to without crashing into you! Although there are parts where they will eventually have to drive that is a lot less time for them to text and drive than it is when they text and rvie the entire time. Even with out texting and driving that is a ton less crashes and ton of more people saved each year.
Even if you are not still into the driverless car experience yet, just wait there is more! If you are one of those people who ask; Can you still drive? Obviously you still can! The car will have back out of driveways and onto roadway construction and through accidents. So there is no need to worry about it ddriving through bad areas or location becuase you have to! Plus when it driving and it getting ready to do something bad it sends a vibration into your seat to let you know that you have to take over the wheel and start driving.
With all of the facts listed how can you not be with the flow of driveless cars? Well really they are not completely driverless but pretty much close. With all the less accidents how can someone not want a driverless car? Even the pedestrians will be safer without all the drunk and texting drivers around town. To be even safer if you do not trust it you can still take over the wheel in certain situations. Most importantly you have more time to do the things you want like maybe knit while driving or catch up on a book. You can do many things with a safe driverless car! | 4 |
3f7c2d8 | Dear Senator,
I, STUDENT_NAME, am in favor of changing our democacy to popular vote. Electoral college does no good to our society. It's out of date, it's irrational, everybody in this case has a great chance of becoming president. That is no good, we do not need idiots running our country. Election by popular vote is the best way to go. You will have a certain outcome and votes will be fairly made. It benefits everybody. More than half of our population wants you guys to make the switch.
The electoral college is not an up to date voting method. Our founduing fathers made it many years ago while writing the constitution. It is a long process of nonsense that has no advantages to us, the people. By popular vote, it's faster, simpler, and better. Popular vote is basically a group of qualified citizens voting for the president. Popular vote is the best way for people to directly voice their opinions by picking the president of their choice. If we use the Electoral college, the electors of our state may not deliever it properly.
Over 60 percent of voters prefer direct elections. Government officials such as Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and others all thought we should abolish the electoral college. Many things are wrong with the electoral college, we don't directly vote for the president but for the slate of electors, who eventually vote for the president. It in no way benefits the people, they have no control over who the electors pick. In many cases, people have decided to not even vote because there was no hope.
If there are greater chances of everybody being president, not only is there a fool running the country,he isn't going to worry about your interests or needs. If your own president won't help your interests, potential voters may be turned off. Isn't that horrible, to feel that our president isn't our president? Knowing that our vote will have less of an efect, we won't want to vote. Voters in presedential elections are people who have something to say and actually want to express themselves. They are not the people who don't care and just vote to vote.
You and the rest of the senate should consider this very deeply. It isn't just benefiting the people, but congress, the whole senate; and most importantly, the president. It will make us a better nation and one as a whole. I hope you take this into great consideration and make the change. The only way to get back the peoples trust and votes is by taking baby steps. This is one great step and good things may come out of this.
Sincerely,
PROPER_NAME | 4 |
3f7da0e | I am Sam ; the other NASA scientist is Robert
I am Sam Ulas and I think the "Face on Mars" is from natural landform. Because there are many peices of evidence to support my claim.
Here is one reason They have many different photos of the face they have hard to see photos from the bad quality and really good ones from good quality throught the years.
"Ok Sam they could have just made that up, the authors said, "reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars".
"Well Robert they actually went back for a better photo in fact a ten times shaper photo than the original one".
"The camera from MGS (Mars Global Surveyor) when through wispy clouds to see the face".
"But there was a day were there was no wind on a summer day and MGS scoped in really close for a second look they to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center so they could see it clearly. They got a crazy good photo with absolute maximum resolution".
"Well Sam you seem to have good exidence to back up your claim so I am here to say you proved me wrong". | 3 |
3f82654 | Do we depend to much on cars? the answer back in 2003 would have been yes.. yes we do, but as of recently car usage and production has slowed down considerably. In some countrys there are days were people dont use cars at all. Theres even a whole community/neighborhood thats placed a ban on all driving and car ownership.
Much of this change was caused by a need to reduce pollution rates and to cut down on green house gasses. And the change has helped places like paris and europe cut down on smog and other such pollutants. This will also help the ocean which has become largly devoid of the life that survived there afew years ago due to carbon pollution.
Yes we did use to many vehicals afew years ago. No we are not using so much anymore. Will this reverse global warming? who can tell? but we can at least try. | 2 |
3f852f7 | The Challenge of Exploring Venus, the author suggest that studying Venus is a despite of dangers and presents because. In the text it states that Venus is the closet planet to Earth terms of density and the size and occasionally the distance too. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97% of carbon dioxide, and even more challenging Venus clouds are highly made of corrosive sulfuric acid. On the planet surface Venus have average temperatures over 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
The author also states that Venus has a atmospheric pressure of 90 times greater than planet earth. The conditions of planet Venus are far more extreme than any ohter humans ecounter on earth, it could even destroy a submarine because the pressure is very extreme. Nasa states that they will have to build a vehicle that could handle the extreme pressure of venus and the conditions also. Finally, Nasa would have to use the old technology that they used in WW2 and the moon landing. | 2 |
3f892e1 | I am for
driverless car. the reason i am for driverless cars is, because i belive there would less acceidents. Google smart car car are show to be safe to driver by themselfs for a half a million miles. If it can drive about half a million miles imagine how far it can drive with a person in it. Smart car with help prevent acceidents. If google has had cars that could drive independently since 2009, im preety sure they have improved the smart cars by 2016. The smart car still alert the driver when pulling in and out of driveways, They arent completly driverless.
Cars already have gps and other electronic things i thier cars, Why not just get a smart car and never get lost again. Or turn down the wrong street if the car all ready know hwere its going there is no way you could get lost. Google modified Toyota prius uses postion estimating sensors on the left rear wheel,a rotating sensor on the roof , a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a gps receiver , and an inertial motin sensor. The founder of google car project, be;ives that the technology has finally begun to catch up to the dream. before 2000 the sensors werent there the computers werent there the mapping wasnt there. with out the gps how would people get around a city they just moved to or didnt know that well. Every one in there life at ine point have or will use a gps. Unless you use a map that will more then likely get in the way of you diving. You taking your eyes off the road for a few seconds and enable you from seeing that one car that swerving in frount of you, Or that one red light you just ran throw. Or the pedestrian you just hit. all becase you took your eyes off the road to look at a map because you turn and got off the express way and the wrong exit. I think smart car will more than likely help with that. Most of the time you use a gps because you dont know to get ther. Not because you know how to get to the place your going. If you idnt have that gps you would be struck gonig around asking for directions.
Smart cars are new and improved.In a normal car if you need to answer your phone you need to took your eyes off the road but in smart cars you can just press one botton and answer the phone and
continue driving. If there is something not availble to the driver tring to text on your phone the car system has a safety feature. safety is a huge concern. Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers passengers ans pedestrians safe. laemaker will know that they are safety is best achieved with alert drivers.
As a result there will be less air polution less car accidences. smart cars cut the fuels usage in half. I also belive such cars would fundamentally chnage the world | 3 |
3f8b27a | So many people claim alot of things. people will claim that the moonlanding was fake. Wadonna wears a wig eveyrtime time you see her. elvis presely isn't dead. hitler many still be alive today. but we dont know any of these things, you see the idea that we claim things is sometimes true and can be sometimes unrealistic.
technoloy floods our brain, meaning there is so many inventions it just brainwashes us. We can use photo I.D. now for getting on to our phone. There are mixed emotions when we do show our personality, the techonolgy recognizes it. So we can change everything so someone says, "the facial expressions for each emotion are universal," observes Dr. Huang. The mona lisa drawing is suppose to bring a smile to everyones face.
So people are still wandering what the mona lisa represents, the mona lisa represents art and beauty. There is a song called mona lisa, and its kinda a love song, saying your my mona lisa baby. So i think the whole idea of this song is to show that the mona lisa is a thing of beauty it represnts more than just beauty.
What else does it represent, well does your expression in the mirror suggest an emotion? Do you feel mad or sad. if you felt sad and you were crying and you went to the mirror and looked in the mirror, what would you see in yourself because down deep inside if thing yuo incredibly hurt. Can your lab partner recgonize which emotion you are doing? yes there is a doctor for that. there are so many emotions you dint even know throughout the day.
in conclusion the many way we show emotions can be mixed up. The impolsovity or maybe catatonia, these emotions are so rare they are usually not effected by people. So lets talk about the signs, alot of people would have droopy eyes mening lieing. Donald Trump and many politians lie to get what they want. | 1 |
3f8e2ac | Driverless cars are the cars of the future. Humans are getting lazier and lazier and we need technology to fulfill our needs. Driverless cars are the perfect solution to our laziness. They are safer and more reliable than regular cars. Regular cars pose a threat to our safety. Regular cars have to be driven by drivers who aren't always paying attention to their surroundings.
Driverless cars may sometimes need to be driven by a user in certain situations. In the event of road work or an accident, the driver must take over the wheel and steer around the hazard. Companies are working on new technology so that cars become completley driverless. Companies are trying to put car-entertainment systems in vehicles so the driver is entertained.
In a few years, there will be driverless cars. There is no doubt about that. It is just a metter of when, and how they will come about. I am all for driverless cars. They are the future of automobiles. | 2 |
3f8ee4b | Do you think there is a face on Mars? This theory has been questioned for a long time. We have found odd things throughout the years of human existance and speculations towards this face has been studied.
The face on Mars is not actually a face. It is probably holes in the rock of the ground just shaped perfectly like a face underground. Even if there was a body burried under there you wouldnt be able to see the face if you dont see the body.
Why hasnt NASA unburried this object or crater to see if it actually is a body. This face is only a theory towards Mars having an ancient civilazation. The object there isnt a face, it is only a natural landform.
Have you heard of electromagnetic force fields? If not, they are locations on earth in which it radiates high frequencies and no animaml can live on this land. Human could for awhile but it might make you go insane. Do you think these are just alien sites that we cant handle? Most likely not, it is natural within earth. Our planets has its own different things throughout it and Mars could just have craters everywhere. This one just happens to be captured and looked like a face.
Do not believe everything you hear or see because our mind can trick us. Natural landforms come in all different shapes and sizes. Next time you think there is a face in the ground remember that its not actually a face. | 2 |
3f8fdc4 | Are driverless cars really what our world needs? In my personal opinion i don't think we should waste our money on driverless cars. There are many reasons that this is not a safe idea and it should not take place. Do you want a "robot" having your life in its hands?
The type of driverless cars that have been put to test will end up costing us alot of money that we don't have to waste. Also technology has failed us numeroumous of times and putting our life in its hands is not such a good idea. No matter how much money we spend on this technology to keep us safe there is a possibilty it will fail us. Just like if you were to go buy the new iphone, peopl e say it is the best working phone on the market but they tend to break on you, burn out, and all these other things no matter how new it is. If you can't trust a phone with such little duties why would you want a computer operated car doing so? These driverlesss cars still need humans to be fully active and responsive. If this is the case then humans should just continue driving themselves. I understand that some peopl ebelive this will reduce the number of accidents that happen but a computer is just as obligated to make mistakes just like humans and maybe more. Sometimes computers do this thing where thye juist shut down on you no warnings or anything and what if this was to happen on a highway with this new driverless cars people are wanting to invent? There is no way to really hold anyone responsible for an accident in such manner. The driver has little control over what happens and the manufacturers will not want to take responsibilty because they want to keep their money in their pockets. I feel as if we could be spending our time on better and more important things. My question is why fix something that isn't broken?
In my honest opinion driverless cars are not needed and are trully a waste of our well hard worked for money. There are other things int hie world right now that could use the time and money we are going to waste on such project. The cars we have now are getting the job we need done. If people don't want to drive that is why we have busses, taxis, ubers, and trains for. Getting driverless cars will put people out of a job because companies wouldn't have to pay a car to do its job and this will put more people on our streets. To be honest it might even casue more problems is other areas like murder, robbery, and ect. We have to take a look at all aspects of this decision we are making as a nation. Look at it as if it was you loosing a job or put yourself in a situation where you driverless car causes you or a loved one a life beacuse computers are not as reliable as people may belive. Driverless cars are a bad idea and we should think long term about devloping these cars and puting them on our roads. | 3 |
3f948e1 | The author supports the idea of studying Venus despite the dangers. The text gives us some exaples of dangers. One of them are "the tempeture is 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 degrees greater than Earth's." The other examples is gives us is "can crush a submarine", "Venus has the hottest surface in our solar system", and is also says that humans can survive on Venus but the conditions are not easy. There hasn't been a single spaceship in three decades and it cannot be on Venus for more than a few hours. This is why NASA is working on a vehicle so the can hover above Venus. It can only hover above Venus for 30 miles or so. This is a stroggle for NASA because they cannot get close enogh to take sample. Some samples they want to take are" rock, gas, or anything else." This is why NASA is working on trying to get to Venus or it is also known as the "Evening Star." It is also Earth's planetary neighbor and it is also the second planet from the sun. In the text it says "in the late 1800's there was a something called mechanical computers." All of these examples are helping NASA trying some approaches to Venus. So, this is all the different reasons why the author supports the idea of getting to Venus. Even though there are many many different dangers of going to Venus the author still supports the idea of studying Venus. | 2 |
3fa57a6 | In 1976, NASA discovered a land formation that looks like a face and since then it has become a national icon. Conspiracy theorists think that we at NASA are hiding something. They think it was created by aliens. We know that it wasn't though because after all we're the experts here. If we were hiding something, why wouldn't we release it to make more money? We have technology and the smarts to prove people wrong that think it was created by an alien. The conspiracy theorists are wrong.
As better technology is developed and our images take on a higher resolution we have proof that the "Face on Mars" is just a land formation with an odd shadow. In 1976, we first discovered the "Face on Mars" using the Viking 1, but we couldnt really tell what it was because the resolution wasn't that good. Then in 1998, the technology developed over the span of 22 years, the resolution became better, and we could sort of tell what it was. Then in 2001, we really discovered what it was because the technology was way bettter and we could see a 3D image of it. As technology developed we could really start to tell that it was in fact a mesa. Proving that the people were wrong and that they don't have as advanced technology as we do.
The conspiracy theorists were once again wrong. They just look off of the images NASA puts out and think of the most bizzare theory and release it. When we had the MGS fly over Cydonia (where the "Face on Mars" is located) on April 5, 1998, he snapped pictures and really discovered it wasn't an alien formation. Then, many people disagreed with our logic again and said that since it was a cloudy time in April '98 on mars, that the alien markings were hidden by haze. We then went for a second run on April 8, 2001, "a cloudless summer day" and captured the photo using the the camera's maximum resolution, and still didn't see any alien markings. They were yet again wrong and this proves that it isn't an alien formation.
In the end, the picture really shows a Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. These landforms are much like the ones we see on Earth. They're common on almost every planet. What Garvin says is completely true, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. These formations are just another land formation. The people who thought they were alien markings are just trying to get attention.
After all, we at NASA have always had the best technology to look into space and at other planets. People have tried to prove us wrong and we always come out on top of things. We've proven them wrong with images, other formations on Earth that are equivalent to formations on Mars, and the knowledge that we have. The people shouldn't question it because if it really was an alien marking we'd share it with the public. These theories that it's an alien marking are wrong and we've proven this. | 4 |
3fa6785 | In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author speaks about how the future of transport can change.
The possibility of sometime in the near future of transportation with no driver.
Such invention seems like something we can have in decades, yet many car companies and even Google have variations of a driverless car.
Many people will be having a hard time when the decision of whether or not it is safe comes about considering the amount of people and their decisions.
In this short essay i plan to inform the reader of my views and opinions of this driverless car.
An invention such as a driverless car could change many things drastically, all of which could effect our daily lives.
I believe that this invention can bring the unemployment rate in the world even higher, considering the amount of jobs there are revolving around driving.
Cab drivers would be out of jobs considering the car would be driven by itself.
Even traffic police could potentially be taken out of play with this invention because there would be no need for them anyway.
Many things must be thought of when attempting to change the way people work every day.
Not only can the unemployment rate drastically rise, but can such a machine be trusted when it comes to street safety?
Many things can potentially go wrong with this car, even the finest machines can malfunction even though the article states that Google's driverless car has exceeded half a million miles without a crash.
Would crossing the street put every pedestrian in danger?
If so who can be to blame if not the manufacturer of the car?
These things must be put into consideration when something so dangerous gets put into the hands of technology.
I am not saying that people driving is safe either, driving can be a very dangerous action if said driver has not been trained properly.
The driverless car is a sensational and very idealistic invention, one can not just assume an invention as big can be put into play in the upcoming future.
Multiple laws would need to be passed, people who have been driving for years not knowing what to do if something goes wrong.
This car can be both good and bad, and I believe in the future cars will not have drivers but not so soon.
I believe that this cannot or will not be able to be made within the next twenty years.
I hope that when the time comes to decide whether this will happen, every voter has been informed of the dangers as well as the benefits. | 3 |
3faada7 | In the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars," NASA finds a rock on Mars that looks like a human face. When people first see this they go crazy and jump to conclusions saying it's an alien. When I say going crazy I mean that they put this rock face in all kinds of movies and magazines. The people later find out, it's not an alien after all. After finding this out, people still find a way to believe that the face isn't a landform.
On April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time and snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original photo. This photo revealed a natural landform. The camera had to peer through wispy clouds to see the face and people said alien markings were hidden in the haze. On April 8,2001, they got an even better picture of the rock. The picture shows the Martian equaivalent of a butte or mesa which is a landform common around the American West. "It reminds me most of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain in Idaho," says Garvin. The Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain in Idaho is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.
In conclusion, the last picture that was taken of the face on Mars was taken on a cloudless day and if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could have seen what they were. The first two pictures may not have been great but after the last picture that was taken, all evidence points to the face on Mars just being a landform and not an artifact of aliens. Also, the face is Martian equaivalent of a butte or mesa, which is landforms common around the American West such as the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, which takes the form of an isolated mesa that is about the height of the Face on Mars. All real evidence leads us to the conclusion that the face on Mars is just a landform. | 3 |
3fb1533 | Dear Senator,
I favoring of keeping the Electoral College because it aviods run-off elections and the certainy of outcome .If it aviods run-off elections then no canidate can get the most votes in a vote cast. According to the article Does the Electoral College work source three states, Nixon in 1968 and cliton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurity or the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Electoral College(301 and 307 electoral votes respectively).The electoral college is important because it can do certainty of the outcome . It's important that it has it so that it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. According to the article Does the Electoral College worksource three states,In the 2012 election,for example Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the elcetoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and romney.I also what to keep the Electoral College so that nothing goes wrong if it gets changed. For example, if one thing in the electoral college is gone, then the whole thing may be affected by it. Also if theres no Electoral College then they wouldn't be any electors to select from and no counting of the electoral votes by congress. In conclusion to,I favor in keeping the Electoral College instead of changing it to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. | 2 |
3fb3a4e | People in the United states have a voice of opinion towards voting,but in the end it is the electoral college that has the final say. To many americans voting is a very important event. The united states is a democracy. A democracy is a form of government where people have the say, The United States does not follow that route because of electoral college. Senator of the United States, I ask that you put a stop to the electoral college.
First of all, I believe that The United States is a corrupted democracy. The electoral college is a unbeneficial way of voting because they may be bias towards the people, for example, one might know what another so it can be considered as favoritism. In a sense this voting system can be manipulated in ones favor. How the voting system works is considered wrong to many Americans.
Workers in politics such as Richard Nixon or Jimmy Carter also do not believe in the electoral college and they even wanted to get rid of them! Most people want to get rid of the electoral college because of the "winner take all' system. If it wasnt for the winner take all system George W. Bush would of never been elected as president while john kerry would've taken the spot. Many politicians believe ingetting rid of the electoral college such as Bob Dole when he said "abolish the electoral college!"
In conclusion Senate, Citizens of this country and I believe that we should put an end to the electoral college. Politicians even disagree with the idea of giving specific people to give the final vote. As senator you have the power to put a end to this unconstitutional doing. The United States is a democracy where everyone matters. Because of the electoral college our opinion on who should be elected has been taking away from us. this event is undemocratic and I ask you senator to think this through and take action on making this voting system to a popular voting system. | 2 |
3fb4405 | Dear Mr. Senator:
Lately there's been a problem regarding electoral colleges. Some people are in favor of them; others not so much. I agree with the latter; electoral colleges are anachronistic and should no longer be used in this day and age.
In this modern era, people are being more aware or more educated about the going-ons in government. As a result, it is becoming no longer necessary to have others vote in place of the people's choices. Instead, people should be able to vote directly for their chosen leaders and not have to worry about an elector making a last minute decision to vote for another.
Those who are in favor of electoral colleges are wrong about keeping them. In only half-way allowing people to vote for president, it could also be viewed that the people were never really given a choice. Their votes are at the mercy of the electors.
If you are wise Mr. Senator, you'll choose to do away with electoral colleges. By doing so, you give people more choice and control over their decisions. I hope you'll put your foot down on this matter and refuse to have anything to do with electoral colleges because they're not helping the future of our country,
Sincerely,
PROPER_NAME | 2 |
3fb5a5f | I'm personally not for the self driving cars because i dont think they would be as safe as what the creators say they are and many things can happen as the car is driving itself. These cars can obviously save a lot of money for some people but they can also be dangerous in ways that people not might even think about.
These cars obviuously can save money from any point of a persons view but what happens if something goes wrong with the car and it doesnt respond to what the article says it should like construction. Would you hineslty trust a driverless car to take you places. The car could plow right through the area injuring people or even worse. What happens also if the break dont work or it just automatically starts accerlating to high speeds. Right there, people will be filing lawsuits or even sewing the makers becase someone in there family was hurt or killed. Sure the driver can take control over the car when needed but what if that deosnt happen and theres something wrong with the car. driverless cars can either help people or hurt people, but some people are just going to have to make that choice on what they want to do.
Driverless cars should not be allowed because if something goes wrong in can hurt people in so many different ways, and it could also destroy a family if someone gets hurt or dies. People need to realize that they would not be the safest cars. it shouldnt matter if there free, what should matter if there built to physically be safe and if something happens, the creaters will cover any tyoe of bills that need to be payed if something goes wrong with there creations. | 3 |
