42f6c11 | I think that driverless cars sound pretty cool. People don't need driverless cars though. When driverless cars are made, people might start texting while the car is driving thinking they're still safe when they could still be in danger. Driverless cars is a good and bad idea, its cool but it could still be dangerous. I think they should not make driverless cars because we don't need them when we can drive on our own. Since it is computer what if hackers hijacked it? Or maybe it messed up because its computer made and the driver has no control? There are many things that could possibly happen since its "computer driven". There was something on the news before about people hijacking cars and other things, think about how easy it could be to get control of a computer driven vehicle, it would probably be more easy. If they are gonna bring them I think they should add security or something, maybe do a whole bunch of tests with devices to make sure that it's safe. This vehicle doesn't just put the driver in danger, but it also can put other peoples life in danger. If a person crashed into another person they could die. I know for sure that when I get older and start driving, I probably wont get a driverless car if they come out because in my opinion I think that these sound pretty dangerous and I don't wanna get hurt or something to happen. This actually probably could help people who are hurt/injured who can't drive get to places possibly. So I think maybe they could add them aslong as they make sure its as safe as possible. | 2 |
42faeed | The Seagoing Cowboys program is life changing and adventurous experience .You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because it helps people in need, it is a good opproutunity to see different sights around the world,and teaches hardwork.
In 1945 over 44 countries were left in ruins,from World War II in Europe,and they needed to recover. Those 44 countries joined together and formed the UNRRA(the United Nations Relif and Rehabilitaion Administration).The UNRRA hired the Seagoing Cowboys to take care of shipping animals to the broken down countries. While delivering animals you also get free time to sightsee. For example you can take a gondala ride while in Venice,Italy or be amazed by the Panama Canal on your way to China. Although,the sights are marvelous it is hardwork to be a Seagoing Cowboy. Animals have to be fed 2 to 3 times a day,food has to be pulled up from lower holds of the ship,stalls have to be cleaned and much more.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is a great experience to have. You help people in need,go to amazing places,see marvelous sights,and learn hardwork. The program can open up the world to you. Making you more aware of other countries and their needs. The Seagoing Cowboys program is a huge opproutunity to be in and you should definintly join. | 3 |
42ff84e | Driverless cars are an innovative creation that are slowly entering the world.
Their creators are working hard to improve them so that their passengers can be comfortable, but more importantly safe.
Big companies like Google, General Motors, BMW, and Tesla are looking into the science of driverless cars.
They are finding new functions in driverless cars that normal cars don't offer.
This new technology could be a huge step forward for mankind in the science world.
In my opinion, driverless cars are a great idea that can provide many benefits for its users.
One reason that engineers are so interested in driverless cars is because they could better the entire transportation system of the world.
Sergey Brin says he sees a future where self-driven cars provide a taxi system, and no one has to own their own car.
These taxis would provide the passengers with more freedom than a bus or train would, and they would use less than half of the fuel that taxis today use.
Of course, this is just what Brin envisions, but the sooner engineers work towards that goal, the sooner it will be achieved.
Scientists and engineers are adding more sensors to cars to imitate a human driver.
Sensors have provided more safety for drivers since the 1980s.
Sensors can "apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone".
Already, we see technology being created that can control a car better than humans can, ultimately providing more safety.
Also, these sensors could prevent accidents, such as braking the car before hitting a pedesetrian that the driver didn't see.
Sensors provide a sort of cushion to fall back on in the case that a driver becomes distracted.
In 2013, BMW created a car that can do many tasks by itself, letting the driver relax.
Many people fear that the cars could get out of control, but as with the "Traffic Jam Assistant" that BMW created, drivers can still take control of the car.
When the car realizes that there are difficult conditions ahead, it notifies the driver to let them take over, providing the utmost safety.
Some car companies are working to creat in-car entertainment that would instantly turn off when the driver needs to take over.
This feature is a better alternative to texting or calling someone or a phone, and could actually provide more safety as well as being a source of entertainment.
Driverless cars are also beneficial in the fact that they could eventually provide transportation for people with disabilities.
For example, blind people can not drive, which many see as a struggle for day to day life.
With driverless cars, blind passengers wouldn't have to drive, and therefore could have more freedom with traveling.
The same idea applies to those with other impairments, such as a broken limb or a mental illness.
Driverless cars are far from being ready for the average personn to use in daily life, but they are slowly getting there.
The overall concern for manufacturers are the safety of their passengers.
In times to come, driverless cars could actually provide more safety than human driven cars.
Not only that, but they could also make transportation for all people less of a task. | 4 |
4301d19 | The Face on Mars
The Face that was found on Mars, was not created by aliens, it is a natural landorm. It's a natural landofrm becuase, scientists studied it, it is popuar, and there are pictures. Some may not believe that this is a natural landform. But, there is some information to make you want to believe it.
Stuides by scientists have shown that this Face is not just like any other. It was not created by aliens, and it is not normal. In the text it says,''Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.'' This describes how unusual this Face looked. There is no way that this Face was created by aliens. It is far more detailed that what aliens could have done.
The Face that was found on Mars, was very popular. The uniqueness of the Face made it stand out more to others. In the passage it says,'' It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows-even haunted grocery store checkout lanes for 25 years!'' This tells the reader how the Face on Mars was important to most people. The Face on Mars was to be known all over the world.
Scientists took pictures of the Face on Mars. The pictures let you know what they look like and it gives you an idea of what they are describing. In the text it says,''Twenty five years ago something funny happened around Mars. NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, snapping photos of possible landing sites for its sister ship Viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face.''
There was trial and error problems with the pictures. In the text it says,''The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face.''
In 2001 they took another picture, and this one was more clearer that the one taken in 1976. The text also says,'' Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's aboslute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 neters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo.
Some apponents may say that the Face on Mars was made by aliens. Maybe they have a point. In the text it says,'' Some people think the Fcae is bona fide evidence of life on Mars-eveidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists.'' But, the photos that were taken make it clear that there is no way the unusual Face was made by aliens. In the text it says,''As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size.
As the years go on, people may still wonder how the Face on Mars was made. Some may still think that the aliens did it. Others might never get to know the real answer.
Some say that the Face reminds them of something on Earth. Thus, this must mean that the Face on Mars is a natural landform. | 5 |
4302fcc | I'm telling you it's not!!! The Face is only a mesa. They have pictures as proof .The Face is just a landformation an alien race did not make it.
The Face is a plain old mesa. The reason it looks like a face is because of unusal shadows. Then NASA used a high resoultion camera and saw it was just a landformation. Also Cydonia is an area with mesas.
They have multiple pictures of the Face. They releasaed them to the public saying it was a landformation. If it wasn't they wouldn't have told the public. Also in the pictures you can see that it's not a face.
Others say that the Face was made by aliens. They say that the photos weren't clear enough and that NASA is trying to hide the ancient alien civiliazation. However, they took much more clear photos . Also if there was an ancient alien civilization NASA would be happy and would tell the world because it would benefit them.
The Face is just a mesa not created by aliens. They have photogenic proof. The Face is just a natural landformation. I'm telling you it was not made by aliens!!! | 3 |
4303cbd | Fellow citizens cars are dying out. Every year more and more people are realizing the cultural and natural impact that cars are having on us in a negative way. There are many advantages that come with eliminating cars from society. For one reason is that we can start to eliminate roads and highways and use that land for houses or something else. Another reason is that it will help the world out in a natural way to stop tempatures from sky rocketing to completely melting the polar cap, and prevent smog from building up in dense cities. Citezens also wont have to spend money on fuel or a car anymore and can save money.
As soon as citizens completely wipe out the use of cars then alot of positives will result out of it. As soon as cars are out of the picture then societies can use up the space from highways and roads to make houses and shopping centers that are walking distance from those houses or living communities. When people need to drive long disctances to get to another destination thats far away from where they live then they can take theyre car thats on the outskirt of the city in a protected garage, just like they do in Vauban, Germany, they do this in order to keep the city within completely safe and pollutant free from cars.
Up to now and ever since the invention of automobiles like buses and cars the world has changed dramatically in tempature. Earth has become like a microwave just trapping heat from the Greenhouse effect which causes the carbon dioxide from the cars to stay in earth andn not expell to space which has caused some of the highest tempatures in the last 100 years. With the elimination of cars less carbon dioxide will be let out causing the eart to cool and thus will help save the polar ice caps. Not only will it save the cold areas of the world but it will also help reduce smog in densley packed cities like Paris and Bieging. Up to now cities like Paris and Bogota have had certain days where they prohibit the use of cars in the city to help and calm the smog down. This Method has helped dramatically and it was only for one day! Imagine what doing this forever can do for the enviroment.
Another topic for eliminating the use of cars is the economic change it will postively have on the enviroment. For one families wont have to spend money on gas. Second they wont have to spend money for a car. Last but not least third they wont have to spend money on tolls or tickets. So simply if you dont have a car you wont have to worry about any of those problems. Families can use all of that saved money for going on vacations or on themselves. | 4 |
4309da2 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, he talks about new technology that can identify human emotions. This new technology, the Facial Action Coding System, is not relevant for children in classrooms because it is not needed, a disruption, and not trustworthy.
Although, the Facial Action Coding System in unique it is disruptive to a class. The article says that this new system could help kids with their learning by "recognizing when a student becomes confused or bored." The computer would then have to alert the teacher and disrupt the class while learning and everyone then would be confused. There would also be computers all around the class and kids would most likely pay more attention to those instead of their lesson.
All of this new technology seems cool but can people trust it? This computer "constructs a 3-D computer model of the face" and from that it base a persons emotions by facial expressions. That is not something people could really trust. A person could easily smile and really be sad but the computer thinks the person is happy because they smiled. The computer also only know happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness but what about other emotions like depression? There could be a flaw in the system and could label people as "confused" and have their teacher think they don't understand a lesson in school even though they do.
This technology is not really needed at all. The article says, "humans perform this same impressive "calculation" everyday," what is the point of having a computer do a job that a human can easily do? This new system is more of a accessory than it is a help. People would just be paying for something they could do themselves.
The article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto talks about new technology called the Facial Action Coding System. This new system is not needed for children in classrooms because it is disruptive, not needed, and not trustworthy. | 3 |
430d4de | Why does NASA consider the "Face of Mars" to be a natural landform? They claim that the "face" is the Martian equivalent to a butte or mesa. There are multiple points of evidence that support this claim.
Firstly, NASA has traveled to the location multiple times, and photographed it extensively. In the passage, it is stated that NASA sent two different spacecraft to photograph the formation three different times. While Viking I's camera appears to capture a face-like structure, this is not the case. In the passage, it is said that to confirm that this was a natural occurence, NASA sent the Mars Global surveyor to capture another image. This image was much sharper, and appeared to favor the idea that the site was natural. Some people were not satisified due to a claimed "haze" that hid the structure during the cloudy, windy period on Mars. The Global Surveyor was sent back a second time, and this time, it captured clear, still images that are at the absolute maximum resolution. (About 1.5 meters per pixel.) This was more than enough to capture an image of any structures on the site, but none were found.
In addition, NASA has no reason to keep the public misinformed about the so-called "alien face." Quite the opposite actually, as NASA would benefit immensely from the funds that could be acquired using the publicity. If there was conclusive evidence supporting the claim the "alien face" was a monument constructed by ancient Martian civilizations and not just a natural formation on the planet, NASA would advertise the claim and it's evidence in an attempt to receive more funding.
On the other hand, I can see how some people could be fooled into believing that there was once a civilization on Mars. In the passage, NASA uses a caption that says the structure "resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."
However, now that NASA has investigated the site and taken multiple photos confirming the site as a rock formation, the structure should be regarded as a regular Martian mesa that posseses an uncanny resemblance to a human face.
In conclusion, the "Face of Mars" has been proven to be little more than a large rock formation that simply bore an unnatural resemblance to a human face. The belief that it is otherwise a structure of ancient alien origin is unsubstantiated and incorrect. | 4 |
430d70e | Have you ever thought of driverless cars being a negative or postive thing to have? These cars would be a public transportation system. There are a lot of positive and negative things that these cars may offer. In my opionion driverless cars would be a negative thing to have.
When using a driverless car, the driver must remain fully aware. This is dangerous because a lot of people who drive a regular car, do not use their full attention. With that said if a person is on the phone and the car alerts them to take over, they may be to zoned out into a conversaion to notice it. This can cause the car to misfunction by the lack of control it is reciving. The misfunction of the car can lead to wrecks, injury of another person, or passing in zones that are blocked off.
In order for the car to prevent accidents, it must have sensors to tell the driver when they need to take over. These sensor could stop working at any given time. For example, we all like to use the internet on our phones and computers. When there is a terrific storm our conncection may not work. What happens if a wire breaks on an important sensor? Then an accident comes up and we do not get an alert. That can cause a very serious wreak.
If everyone is driving a driverless car, how can we ensure it is safe to trust them. We already have problems trusting the drivers around us today, due to them being irresponsible. What happens if something breaks on another persons car and causes them to wreck into someone else? This might not be the drivers fault. Car lights do not always work, so they may not be aware their car is going to wreck.
Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe. If there is a chance these alerts may not funtion correctly, how are we ensuring they are all safe? These negative outcomes and lack of information we have on these cars, are the reasons i believe this would have a negative outcome. | 4 |
430de71 | To begin my explanation on informing fellow citizens about the advantages of limiting car usage is that cars are changing the way we live today by harming the ecosystem, harming us in ways that we dont even realize such as health and financially.
Many have been stunned by the effects that our vehicles cause to our world making it a less substainable place for wildlife, us and our children polluting the air we breathe increasing the percentage of smog that over takes our fresh air and taking down natural areas for our doings such as highways and new roads for example europe has a day of no car use for a whole day because of the greenhouse effect and for that smog is starting to decrease as to congestion went down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five days of intensifying smog. But diesel fuel was blamed for the smog because of the tax policy that favors deiesel over gasoline. deisels make up to 67 percent of vehicles in france. Paris has more smog than any other european capitals but not only is it affecting europe, beijing china which is said to be one of the most polluted cities on earth. Much harm is being done to our wolrd but many of us are to blind to even notice that is why we have to make a change in limiting car usage the facts are staring at us in the face and we have the power to make a difference.
The way our vehicles are harming us physically is making us more lazy to even jog a couple blocks without grasping for air like a fish out of water, turning us into obese unhealthy individuals. Many people prefer using cars to get to a destination which is in walking distance than to use their own legs which is pathetic. For those that dont mind the stroll are making the difference for example, A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009 for that being many people getting a license is not a priority and by that being those people organize their lifestyle to have a social life around them they can walk to work, the grocery store, and home by not owning a vehicle making their lives more healthier and social. The individuals that were mentioned earlier are the opposite they are harming their health by sitting in a car for a couple of minutes or hours which could lead to a chain of events as in stay home all day watch television,become more social through technology but be less social outside and become more of an obese person.
Many people are having problems paying off there cars because of it being too expensive causing them to have financial issues making them live in their car for not having enough money to even buy a place to live or eat and by that it causes them to lose their car which would make them homeless which would have them struggling even more in life with all the situations that is going on in todays world and for that being persuading people to buy the | 3 |

4314782 | Although we would all love to find out that we are not the only ones living in the vast empty space that is our galaxy, but we just haven't come close to finding out that we are.
The pictures of the giant 2-mile long face taken on Mars sparked a lot of attention.
Especially conspiracy theorists.
Causing all kinds of accusations against NASA and if the face found on Mars was alien or not.
There are plenty of reasons why this land formation is natural. Such as, the image, taken plenty of times, revealed no alien artifacts or marking that would seem unusual to NASA's Mars Global Survey team.
The land form is called a mesa, which is found commonly in the American West.
Also, saying that NASA is hiding the real alien information would make no sense, it could benefit them exponentially.
The landform, when first captured on photo, triggered skeptics. Saying the image should be retaken due to the low quality. When retaken, they were, of course, not satisfied. When the final image was taken, it revealed no artifacts. A disappointment to not only those conspiracy theorists, but to NASA too.
The name of the landform, was uncommonly known, as a mesa.
A mesa is a naturally occuring landform that resembles the characeristics of a face. They form from collapsed lava domes or my the simple means of erosion. They are commonly found in the American West. One famous one that resembles the Face on Mars, as said by Jim Garvin, chief scientist on the Mars Exploration Program, is Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. It is an odditiy to see.
When faced with all the vidence, people began questioning if NASA was hiding the evidence. NASA has made clear that they did not hide anything. NASA supporters have also brought up the simple fact that proving alien life is real could benefit NASA. They would have no reason to hide it and the government could not benefit from hiding this information either. The discovery could get them funding for future expeditions and further discoveries.
The evidence is plain and simple. Alien life on Mars is not there. WHIle many still believe and argue more. The famous face is a landform, discovered through muliple images and NASA has said they have no reason to hide anything from the public. We have the right to know everything. | 4 |
43147af | To me I like the idea of having driverless cars, because if someone goes on a long vacation and they did not want to fly they would have to drive. When you are driving for a long period of time your legs will eventually get tired and you will have to stop at rest station. With the driverless cars they will drive themselves and you can just sit back and relax while of course still paying attention to the road ahead of you. This will get you to your destination in less time because you will make less stops.
In the article is states, "In 2013, BMW announced the development of Traffic Jam Assistant. 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." This is a good thing for these types of cars because you do not want your car to just go straight through a construction zone and not be able to stop it. Or you do not want your car to go the wrong way if there is a detour. I like the idea on how if the driver needed to he can take over the wheel and get going the correct way.
I agree that these cars could be a good thing for us in the future because of the things that I have said above. These cars may not have sounded like a good thing in the beginning but as of right now they are an up and coming thing for us. Even if you like to drive this does not mean you have to get one of these types of cars. It is just a good idea for people whose legs can get tires really quick or if you are going on a long car trip. This car is the way to go. | 3 |
4316541 | the author supports his ideas very well because, he tells why its important to study venus and why it is the worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The author also says ¨venuse is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size¨.They have aslo sent numerous spacecrafts and have done previouse missions. The pervious missions was unmanned. There has not been a spaceship that has touched venuse and why, the author said that gthe reason that spaceship or has not landed was becuse it would not last mor than just a few hours. The author supports the idea that studying venus is worthy pursuit despit the dangers, because know that i read the story icould see why. Venus might be dangers to go to and explore but by making spacecrafts and more andmakeing experiment it probably would not be so dangerous to send spacecraft or maybe a spaceshit to try it out again. | 1 |
431933e | Do you like not being in control? Have you ever felt powerless? These are the feelings you would have if you own a driverless car. Sure, the car will make things easier at times, but what if it acts up. What could you do?
Driverless cars could be a great danger to society! I know that driverless cars can catch the eyes of our society, since we've become technology filled. We can't let that get to us though. Like everything else that requires a computer, there is always a flaw. We can't put our lives in the hands of these cars. In the article it mentions that these cars will not always know how to deal with traffic, accidents, driveways and construction. We could get in a accident or even get murdered from these cars.
Although there are many flaws with this model, there are also some postitves too. Instead of driving and struggling with your phone, you can easily put the car in control. You can call, talk to passangers, do work and even eat while it drives. I know it's hard for most drivers to put there complete attention on the road but it's not for a computer. There would be less accidents, no drunk driving and no sleeping at the wheel. It may be a good contribution to our society.
Even though driverless cars bring great contributions, what happens when it acts up? Sure you can take control of the car but what if you're not paying attention? You could create a serious accident. The article says that these cars can not respond to accidents. If you create a sudden accident would'nt that create the other driverless cars to spin out of control? I think we need to stick with our original cars. These driverless cars are ticking time bombs waiting to go off. Lets keep this place safe! | 3 |
4330839 | Emotions are apart of everyday life. The way humans react to emotions is not always easy to recognize though. As a result, misunderstandings come in and miscommunication happens and life gets that much more complicated. In the article, "Making Mona Lisa Smile," by Nick D'Alto, it talks about a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System. This particular system is able to use computers to identify human emotions based on their facial expressions. The use of the Facial Action Coding System to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because it could show when a student is not understanding based on their expressions, it could help the teacher to know when and/or if a student has the lesson down-packed, and the technology is set up based on expert's opinions and reasrch.
The Facial Action Coding System is something worth investing in because the world is becoming more and more advanced and with this system, computers could possibly know whether a student doesn't understand what is being taught. In the article, the author explains how the system works. The text says, "By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions... Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion)." This example shows how with the software, it will be able to pick up on when a student is expressing signs of distress because they don't understand. The author also uses the example of Web ads. He says, "...If you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow." This proves how the technology will be used to observe and then change to the person's preference. This would be a big help in the classroom because students have different styles of learning and the computer can help to identify which one a student prefers.
If the system continues to grow, it could somehow enable the teacher to know when a student is ready to move on to another lesson because they already know what is being taught. In parapgraph six, the text explains how the programming can be modified. An expert says, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." This particular example from the text shows how the technology is so advanced that it help the teacher by doing his/her job. The software could somehow notify the teacher when a student is ready to move on or when one needs to work on the lesson a little longer.
The technonlogy is set up based on expert's research and opinions, so as there are more studies done, the system would be able to tell more accurately what a student is feeling and the lesson could be adjusted based on that. In paragraph five, the author supports his claim by saying that Dr. Huang's "new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code." Dr. Huang's research shows that the software will be continously changing and with those changes, comes advances that will be better equipped to help a child in their classroom. The author uses Dr. Huang's opinions to further his claim. Dr. Huang states, "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements." The explaining of the software proves that it will help children in classrooms because it was built upon years of studying and experiments. And those tests were used to build a software that could possibly change the world.
Facial expressions can sometimes make one amused or angry or they could even make a person fall in love. The problem is, it is hard for a person to read another person's face- unless they're an expert. In "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author argues how a technology called the Facial Action Coding System will help computers correctly idenity human emotions based on their facial expressions. The use of that software would be very valuable in a classroom because it could be aware of when a student does not comprehend what is going on, it could help the teacher to know when students are really getting the concept of what's being taught and because the technology is being constantly modified based on research and opinion, it would be reliable. With this technology in classrooms, confusion about what the student feels about the class and the work will be a thing of the past. | 5 |
4332440 | that people can still steer and accelerte and slow down with just sensors and you can use half of the fuel and aloowing better response aand reduce power from the engine and the sensors make the car safer to drive . but it may not be safe to drive computer driven cars because of malfinction and that can be dangerous and they have to wait to make sure that is is reliably safe to drive it may not be as easy as they make it seem. sometimes the driver has to take over to pull in and out out of driveways to be on the safe side but the driverless car runs on electrical cables wich may not be safe that runs through radio signals to the front of the car. This may be alot of work to just drive a car beacsue of smarter roads and they need a whole lot of sensors on the car but they are still waiting on the law. | 1 |
4333103 | This new software could be very good to our schools and teachers could really tell what their students are feeling just by looking at the students. Facial Action Coding System could be good for a classroom setting. It can be used for lots of things but the things that are important are, that the system could be used to see if a student is really retaining the lesson that they are being taught. The other use it can be used for is that the system can be used to see if a student is upset or mad when first walking into school. The last use for this system is if the student is getting frustrated by the work that their teacher has assigned to them.
The part of seeing if a student can really understand a lesson. The given student might not want to tell the teacher that he doesn't understand a lesson so that the student doesn't feel embarrased. This way using the technology the teacher can make that student feel comfortable, and try to see where the student is getting confused at. The teacher can help the student. Hopefully they understand the lesson a little more after a one on one.
The other use of this FACS is that the teachers or staff of the school could possibly see if a student comes into school upset or angry. If so the adult could try and see why the student is upset or angry. This would really help the student feel more positive in school. If the adult would comfort the student and see where their problems are coming from then it would help the student feel more safe inside the school.
The final use of the technology is that while a student is doing their work. Their teacher can see if their student is getting frustrated by it or if they are just completely lost in the lesson. This could result into the student getting help from their teachers and not getting low test scores. And most teachers wouldn't have to worry about their student failing the class. The teacher could assign tutoring to the student and they could get some extra help with what they continue to struggle on.
The ending result is that this technology should most definetly be in schools. This technology could literally change the ways certain people view the idea of school and the work that it comes with. The number of kids failing classes each year would most likely decrease since they could be getting a better understanding on the lesson. FACS should be in our school system. | 4 |
4334c97 | Have you ever wanted to go to the other side of the world? As a Seagoing cowboy you can do that and much more. You can see sights and learn about them. You learn about hard work and how to do different things. You can have fun while doing a job. Last, you get to help others who have less then you. If you like this stuff then this is the job for you.
One cool thing about being a Seagoing cowboy is that you get to see a lot of cool sights. You can travel to different parts of the world. In the article it talks about how Luke went to China, Greece, and other parts of Europe. Another thing about the sights is that you can learn new stuff about the places you see. Also you can meet new people and maybe even talk with them. Last, you can have your friends come with you and you can see the sights with them and enjoy both. The sights are great but what you learn is also great.
There are lots of things to learn on a cattle boat. One thing about being a Seagoing cowboy is that you learn about hard work. Like in the article it talks about Luke's aunt Katie and her farm that he worked on and how that prepared him for the hard work on the cattle boat. One thing that will help you learn hard work is caring for the animals on the boat. So when you come home your parents will be happy that you learned what hard work is so they can trust you with different things. Another thing you on a cattle boat is doing your share of work, because if you are not doing your share of work then your crew mates are going to get mad fast. Being on a cattle boat also keeps you busy so you can stay out of trouble in school or at home. All the stuff that you learn is good, but everyone wants to have some fun while doing a job.
Another reason that you should go on a cattle boat is that it is fun. No one wants to do something that is not fun. On the way back you get to play baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, and boxing. You can also read or whittle if you would rather do that. It also says in the article that Luke had fun on board the ship especially when they were returning. It is good to do a job that is fun to you, but also do a job that helps others and not your selve.
One last reason you should go on the trip is that it opens up your eyes to all the people who could use our help in the world. Like helping people who could use the food from the animals that you are bringing over or they could use the money that they would make by selling the animal. Like in the article it talks about Luke and how it opened up the world to him by saying "I'm grateful for the opportunity, it made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs."
These reasons that I have given you show why you should work on a cattle boat. You will see great sights, understand about hard work, you get to enjoy it while doing a job, and you get to help out the world by the way Luke did. So why would you pass up the chance of doing all those things by becoming a Seagoing cowboy? | 5 |
4337759 | I think that we shouldnt have driverless car they can be
dangerous for us human being and others
arounds us.
Having driverless can effect us human
by thinking ''Oh we dont have to pay attention to the road the cars know what to do.'' But what if the computer function stop working and the driver is not paying attention and hit a other car .
Who fault would it be the driver or the manufacture? It cant be the driver fault ,Why because if the manufacture did as many test run on the driverless car
why would the computer system shut down ? who fault is that on not the human its
the car . A other reason i think we shouldnt have driverless is
the money and cost they have to put in the make this driverless car to work . Image all the technogley that the manufacture
has to have to make it work and the test run it would have to have done to it . The total of money they would have to use be like millions of dollars. That money can be use on something more helpful in the world.
The car would be to expensive to some people to afford to buy. What if they couldnt sell the car since they would so expensive
to afford no one would buy. It would just be money going to waste and the time and effort they but to it . If they would be to change the laws how would us human react to it ? Would we follow or start protest for it. Why should we follow the laws if some of us human doesnt have this driverless car
.
What if the driverless car crashes in to a basic regular car and causes bad damage to the other car for the person ti die ?
Who would get it worse the basic car
or the driverless car ? | 2 |
433b244 | In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author clearly states that they have made new technologies to allow driver-less cars. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. Here are examples on why these cars would change the "public transport taxi system," as paragraph one states.
The driverless cars are a new evolution of taxi's. They are useful in so many ways. The cars are installed with "a video camera on the rear-view mirror, automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor." These cars have multiple safety feautres within them. This would be the safest way to travel without having to do anything but get in and turn it on.
The problem most people are worrying about is malfunctions with the steering and just little bugs the car will have. Although they have taken the prototypes on the road and driven around with them, they all have seem to taken some minor damage. There are problems with almost every car in the world. It all just takes time. The auto steering and autobraking systems in the car make these cars such a hassle.
As paragraph 9 states about the legality and regulations of these cars, "in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars." If we do allow these cars, we will need new traffic laws and make sure that we know who covers the liability. If something goes wrong with these cars, the liability should be put on the manufacturer. Although, they should come up with a "warranty-type deal." That would allow people after so many days accident free after the purchase, to then push the liability onto the manufacturer.
In conclussion, to make these cars safe and able to be driven. Many little and big steps will be needed to make this happen. Laws will need to be changed and liability issues will need to be placed. These cars would be the turn of the 21st century. Although there are some people who don't like the fact that the car will be driven with technology. Even though technology will be applied to this car, you will still be alert when driving because if something stops working you have to take over. That is what most people don't support about these cars. I think this would be a wonderful idea to go through with, but there would be lots of little bugs with it in the first test run of letting everyone have these cars. | 4 |
433d0c2 | The land form found on mars was most surrley created by natural land. It states in paragraph 3 it says "huge rock formation...wich resembles a human head...formed by shadows." It was an illusion created by the shadows wich make it look like thers all the fetures of a human head. But some people disagree and think that was aleins that made the head, but they didnt have claims or evedence that aliens are the ones who did it.
In paragraph 5 it says that the "Face on Mars" has since became a popular icon. It also states that some people think that it is boneified evedince of life on mars, but how can the bones or remains of these so called "Aliens" have suvived all those years it would have deteriated away by now.
A few scientists think that is was created by alein. Even know in the begining of the artical it talked about how it was just a shadowy illusion that made you think that is was human head. But now there saying that it might of acuttaly been created by aleins.
The scienstists are right because in the artical it rarely has evedence of aleins being the ones who caused this. Also the scientis have all the evedence and claims and facyts to clariffy that aleins didnt do it. It was just natural causes and illusions. | 2 |
433ec6b | Luke encourages people to join the seagoing cowboys program because he thinks since when he were in the program it was amazing I know this because in paragraph 5 it says the cattle-boat trips were unbeliveible opportunity for a small town boy.
Also it says But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special so was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water. I think he thinks that the places they go are really special because each one of the Countries has different things about that country. Maybe one country might be more poor than the other but he is impress how they are manaing to keep their selves together and not fall apart.
Another reason I think Luke trys to convince people to join this program is so they can learn and change the way they used to be. The program can teach them alot I know this because in paragraph 7 it says Helping out on his aunt katie's farm as a boy had prepared luke for hard work, but not for dangers at the sea. Thats teaching him how to survive on his own he's getting taught and he is changing during this program so thats what he thinks this pro gram can do for other kids wanting to do this program.
Luke trys to tell you all the things you can be instead of the things you think you have to be. Before Luke was in this program he worked at a grocery store and as a banker I know this because in paragraph 1 it says Luke Bomberger had no idea that hi life could change soon after his high school graduation. he was working part time jobs in a grocery store and a bank when his friend Don invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat so that why I think he trys to encourage people to join the program. | 3 |
4347687 | The develop of the driverless cars is not a good idea. In the article "Driverless cars are coming," there is more negative outcomes about this idea. Driving for some people may be boring and very hard to stay awake when driving. It's better to control your own car then to get into an accident because your car didn't drive right or something bad happened. I think this idea of driverless cars is not good for our future.
There may be some positive things about a driverless car. Like it can drive for a long time and you don't have to control it. In the text," The car can handle driving functions at speeds of 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold on the wheel." Meaning the car will drive for a long time only if the driver has his hand on the wheel. But what if they don't they might end up in a crash or something worst. Another thing is that it tells you when you need to control it again. In the text it says," GM had developed driver's seats that vibrate attention whenever a problem occurs." That's good even though there can be bad things about that. Especially if the driver is not paying attention.
In the other hand, the idea of driverless cars has more negative parts about it. For example the drivers need to be attective just incase they need to drive the car. In the text it says," This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." Which means the driver must always have their attention on the road if they are not driving. Another thing is that as a driver you must drive when you near accident sight or a traffic area. in the text," they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues."The cars may control themselves but when there is a accident or traffic the owner must drive it which isn't really nice.If an accident happens the owner can be accused. In the text," If the technology fails and someone is injuried, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer." That is not good at all because it may not be the owner's fault but he still gonna get accused of the accident.
Having a driverless is not a really good idea at all. The car may control itself but there's still times when a driver needs to control it. Some people are to busy yelling at their kids, changing their kids diapers, getting ready for work, and texting on their phone. They are not going to have time to control the car just because it can't drive through areas where they is accidents. They bought the car because it drives by itself, not to drive when it was in a bad area. In the text it says," This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." People may not have the time or be ready to driver leading them to a accident or worst.
The idea of having driverless cars is not a good idea. It may have some good things about the car but there is more negative things to the idea of a driveless car. Not everyone has the time to drive the car when it needs to be controlled. Having driveless cars is not good it may cause more accidents or other problems. | 4 |
4347732 | The Facial Action Coding System recognizes human emotions. It builds a 3-D computer model of the face. Which can detect the emotions of a human. It now being used in schools to detect the students facial expression.
The use of the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in the classroom is not valuable, because its not going to help them with anything. Its not going to change how they feel, In paragraph 6 the author states that "Aclassroom computer can recognize when a student is becoming bored or confused". The computer is not going to help them change their emotion.
Also, the computer is going to be able to recognize their emotions, but its not going to make them feel different. If the computer sees that a student is sad or mad, its not going to make them feel better. It is just going to know how they feel. Its not going help them at all. They are still going to do the same thing on the computer as they were before.
They detected the Mona Lisa painting. In paragraph 1 the author said that "she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, and 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry". That did not change how the painting looks. They just recognize how she was feeling. Its still the same painting as it was before. Her facial expression did not change at all. At schools computers are going to do the same, the students are not going to change how they look and feel.
The Facial Action Coding System is not valuable, because it is just going to detect how they feel. It is not going to really change anything. The system is not going to provide them with anything to make their emotions change. I feel like they should not have that, because they know how they are feeling and other people are going to know to. | 3 |
434b035 | I think how America has been using the electoral college all wrong. How would people without cars get around without the electorla college? Many people rely on the electoral college to get to and from work, some people use it to get their kids from school, and homeless people gotta sleep somewhere. The electoral college is something that all of us have relied on the electoral college at least once. I think if the big J in the sky were still here he'd use the electoral college too. That's probably where he'd preform all his miracles and such. I think Jesus would ride and preform his miracles here because what better place is there to preform miracles? A place where mostly poor people go to get to and fro? Sounds like where the messiah would spend his time.
I also think the electoral college is a corrupt system that merely provides the illusion to Americans that we have some actual power in our government, and it shows the real underbelly of the capitalist pig system that is America. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. Viva la reveultion. Illuminati is real. | 1 |
434ddb5 | Driverless care i think would be lack of motivation, and could cause lazyness. People around the world would want a driverless car, well because they're not driving it. The computer is, it would probably be another episode of WALL-E where everybody gets fat because our technology is to adavanced. If this situation comes in to play, who knows what would be next. If they started to release these smart cars, would that mean that everybody would have to own one? Since they're so safe. I do not think they should have these smart cars put into play, because it would just change the world, maybe in a good or a bad way, but whos willing to take the chance? The cars would probably cost millions also, with the technololgy that is inside the cars, say the smart cars d crash, would they still have them riding around on the streets?
dont really think so. But to the point, if they were to put these cars on the market, it cost people and companies millions, just start a conflict with the world. I dont think its a good idea. | 2 |
4359c17 | Human curiosity has always proven to be powerful, powerful enough to maybe even surpass some barriers that were seem as impossible. To satisfy one's curiosity means you will have to go beyond expectations, beyond normal techniques and way of thinking. But, what if the obstacle that's obstructing your way to learn more about something that interests you has been undefeated for years, perhaps, even decades? The scientific community has always been interested on Earth's closest shining sister, Venus, due to the fact that at one point it might have been just like the Earth; plentiful of life and diversity. However, the actual conditions of the planet makes it almost impossible to send any kind of exploration device to it.
Let's start by adressing the challenges and the possible solutions to them:
"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" (The Challenge of Exploring Venus). In this section the author states some of the harsh conditions that can be easily found on the planet, challenges that are found nowhere in Earth. Adding to that, no human invention or technique has been proven to survive in such conditions.
If the planet is so inhospitable, then why is the scientific community planning on send further visits? "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, 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. Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel"(The Challenge of Exploring Venus). This part, estates that Venus may once have been just like the Earth and may still be holding the secret for life in other planets. Hence why it is of so much importance for the scientific community.
Will be any possible to visit and investigate Venus in a future? "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus’s surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during World War II. Systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces" (The Challenge of Exploring Venus). In summary, the NASA IS actually working on mechanisms and devices that, even though they may not look so advanced, they might be strong enough to survive Venus' harsh conditions. It also gives a brief and understandable description of such mechanisms.
In conclusion, will exploration to Venus be possible someday? We don't know for sure, but for what it seems, we might not take very long to send expeditions to Venus. Thanks to scientific associations, like NASA, that day might not be that far away. Maybe thanks to technology from the 1940s, we actually might fulfill that dream. When the time comes, that's when we'll know for sure. | 4 |
435a100 | Driverless cars could be a good thing, I totally agree with them. People wouldnt get into as many recks and the other person couldnt really blame it on them for crashing. As shown on TV and in movies they look really cool. These cars would use half the fuel they use now and are far more flexible than buses. Even though they would need a lot of work to accomplish and a lot of time, they could really work out.
Driverless cars would need a lot of sensors, cameras, GPS, etc. I would imagine they would cost a lot of money because that is a lot of electronic things put into one car to make it amazing. Although some cars already have sensors in them, they still dont cost as much as everything else that needs to be put into them. They could help the drivers out more than they can manage alone. There would be less recks, less cops on duty and less money paid to the state.
Antilock brakes and driver assistance still seem a long way from the driverless cars, but technology is so far now that it is starting to catch up to reality. GM has developed seats that vibrate when your about to be in danger. In some cars we have now, the camera beeps when we are too close to someone or something. To me that helps out with a lot of people who are too short to see or dont pay attention. It tells you when you need to take over and put your hands on the wheel. Even though they're called "Driverless Cars" you still need to be paying attention and not texting and driving because it might not work like you think it does. You still could crash or hit someone or something. Don't take your eyes off the road!
I totally agree with the Driverless Cars, they could set us high up and keep us safe! The human driver should have control the whole time they are driving, and should pay attention. Who knows if the sensors really work? We've been working to get cars like this for a really long time and will hopefully have them by 2020. | 3 |
435f95e | Have you ever wonder how it would be like to live on another planet ? or if there was another planet that was like Earth? Well now you can. Scientist have benn trying to reaserch on Venus and how many years ago. Scientist belived that Venus was covered with large oceans and that it may have supported various forms of life. Why cant humans or other form of life live there, scientist have been studing venus for a long time. Venus average weather is up to 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the air pressure is 90 times greater than the one on earth. Our sister planet still has some features that resembled rocky sediments and features valleys, and moutains. Why studing venus is a important ideas. Studing Venus is important because if there is another planet that reasembles Earth so that it wont be overpopulated and see if there could one day be a way to live in another planet. In conclution it's a very smart choice that scientist keep studing earth and see if one day it could be a planet to live on. | 1 |
4369929 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despit the dangers it despites. Through the story it shows it is a worthy pursuit but dangerous because Venus is most like ours in many ways, the structure is set up just about the same way, and going past the dangers they have the great technology to help themthrough it.
The pursuit of this mission is worthy because the planet is mostly like ours. The two planets Venus and Earth are called "sister planets" (paragraph4). These planets are most alike becasuse Venus once had rocky surfaces, mountains, valleys, oceans and more. for example in paragraph 4 it says " Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could havd supported various forms of life." This proves that even though there witll be some slight dangers it is still a worthy pursuit knowing it is our sister planet and is structually the same as ours or was once before. Knowing the similarities with Venus and Earth can take a step back with some of the dangers yet make it very fascinating to take a visit to see Venus
Venus and alot of actions in the world will always have there dangers. In venus and studying Venus can be cautious at the sam etime becuause the tempretures are slightly higher than what Earth gets. It states in paragraph 6 "temps. would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. " Yes there are dangers with temperature and weather on Venus but there are more advantages to it than the negatives.
Last advantage that NASA could use to study and collect data from Venus is the technology we have these days. They have mechanical computers, gears and levers to help them and shocking devices. It says " The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all." There are so mnay advantages to this study. Looking at the objects they have and the resources they have to study and get informtion on Venus makes it all out more interesting on them to study Venus and make a visit like the people have talked about through the story.
Although there are many disadvantages and some negatives if you look at the positives and look at the similarities it is a worthy pursuit because it is most like earth in many ways, they have better techology uses these days, but yet some dangers to it. | 3 |
436c83d | Does the electoral college work? I don't think so, but some people may. I think the United States should not keep the Electoral College and should chose the president by popular vote. I think they should use popular vote for a many of reasons but I'm only going to explain a few of my reasons now.
My first reason is that, under the electoral college, voters do not vote for who they think should be president but for electors who vote for them. I dont think this is right because the electors they chose may not choose the person they wanted. I think it's unfair. Voters should vote for the person they think should be president.
My next reason is that the electoal votes may tie. If this happens, the election will be turned to the House of Represenitives, which would then vote on the president and the Senate would choose the vice-president. I think this is unfair because I also think they should let the public vote. I just don't agree with someone voting on some one to vote for you.
Finally, I think the electoral college is just simply unfair to voters. It's unfair because if candidates don't think they have a chance in a state they don;t spent much time there. They focus more on the places they have more of a chance of winning. During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see candidates at all and voters in 25 of the largest markets in the United states didn't see a single campain ad.
The electoral college is unfair to the public. I think they should abolish the electoral college and vote on the president by popular vote. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much in reality. Just think about it, it would be a lot more fair to people if they did away with the electoral college and just used popular vote. | 4 |
4371191 | Every day, thousands of people lose their lives to automobile accidents, property is destroyed, lives are ruined, and more importantly, the Earth itself is dying. All of these things can be avoided though. By reducing the ammount we use cars, we can make a great change in the world. In the following essay I will show you, the reader, how reducing car use can change the world, and hopefully convince you to begin using your car a little bit less.
The first advantage I will share with you is that using less cars means denser cities. City planners will make cities more dense to accomodate shorter walking distances. This makes going places much more convienient, and less space in the world being taken up by cities. This not only helps you, but all the people on Earth, as less forests are being destroyed to be used for land for unnecessarily large cities. Denser towns and cities also means that you can spend more time doing things you want to do, instead of traveling to where you want to go. In a very dense city, you can walk down to a coffee shop, order a coffee, walk over to a nearby store and look around there while your coffee is being made, then walk back, get your coffee, and walk to work in the same time it would take just to drive to work in a less dense city. Thins will be more convienient, and more environmentally friendly.
Another advantage to less cars being used is lower greenhouse gasses and other harmful emmissons. After just 4 days of reducing driving in Paris, smog levels went down drastically. If all harmful emission cars are banned in the world, the evironment would return to a much more stable state in no time. This would improve the life span of the world, and help not only humans, but also many animals to survive longer.
The final advantage I will talk about is the economical advantage to not owning a car. When you own a car, you have to pay for the car itself, plus insurance, gas, and you have to maintain the car to keep it running. This takes a lot of money out of the pockets of many families. Without a car, you can spend much more money on more needed things.
Today I have informed you about the many advantages to using less cars in society, these advantages include denser cities, less greenhouse gasses and other harmful emmissions, and more money to spend on other things. Thank you for reading. | 4 |
4371a14 | I think that driverless cars are a good thing but you have to remember that they are really"driverless people still have to be in the car and be ready at anytime. In the text it states that in 2009 Google made cars that could drive independenly under specific conditons. It also states that antilock brakes and driver asssistance still seems a long way from the dream of calling a driverless cab to take "us" wherever we desire. This shows that driverless cars can be a good thing.
In the text it states that in 2009 Google made cars that could drive independely under specific conditions. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash, but Google cars aren't truly driverless; but they still alert drivers to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with the omplicated traffic issues such as roadwork and car acidents. Google is't the firts ones to come up with this kind of thing. In the late 1950s, General Motors created a concept car that could run on a special track, the track was embeddded with an electrical cable that sent radio signals to a reciever on the front end of the car.
It also states that antilock brakes and driver asssistance still seems a long way from the dream of calling a driverless cab to take "us" wherever we desire. Sebastin Thrun, founder of the Google Car project, believes that the technology has finally begun to cath up to the dream. Before 2000 there was no wat to make something interesting, the sensors werent there, thecomputers weren't there and the mapping wasn't there. In 2013,BMW annoced the development of the "Traffic Jam Assistant." The car could handle driving functions at a speed up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel.
This shows that driverless cars can be a good thing. I think that its a good thing because it allows drivers to send a text while the car is driving itself and as soon as they send the text they can watch the road for any accidents or roadwork and then take over until they have passed. Telsa has projected that in 2016 a release for a car capable of drivng on autopilot 90 percent of the time. Also Mercedes-Benz,Audi,and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselces by 2020. This is why i think that driverless cars are a good thing. | 2 |
4373c2c | About venus challenge
People called venusa a " Every stry"; because it the brigtest light in the night sky. make it esay tp spot it in sky but the name is misleding it a venus is a planet. Venus is are second planent from the sun. So venus is the second hottes planent of the earth.so peopele really live on it. venus is over 800 degrees and fahrenheuil on the surface of venus. Some people say venus is earth twin beacuse venus is closest and it densith and size. beacuse of venus is closest to the sun it speed is little fast then earth.
some people wnat to exlporing venus. while venus is simlpe to seen from the distant but safe vantage pount of the eart, it has proved a very challenging place to eamine more closely. so many thing are happand to venus but what know about if can put pepleo on the planet. what are the challenging we can do want venus. people have sent spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped wprld
beacuse it no spacecraft well survived the landin for more than a few hours. make it hard to get on venus beacuse of the speed and get on time.
venus have geolog and weather prsent. make erupting volcanoes powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes; then earth have. venus is anymose like earth it have mountains, craters and valleys like earth have.
we need to closets to venus to get researchers of venus like rock, gas, and anything. the NASA are try to sending humans to study venus. NASA is try to approaches to studying veuns.now we get better in life will time past. we need more thing to get to venus and do lot of on venus. we need to better the challlenge of venus | 1 |
4378d9a | Being able to read the expression's of people would actually be good in so many ways, but at the same time it wouldn't, being able to see what a person is feeling could be good for schools in the way that teachers could see if students are enjoying the way they teach or if they just get bored.
The article it's self shows everyone how facs could benefit everything so much more, especially in school where teacher need to check how students see their class from it being boring to it being fun it would always be good to see what they are actually feeling instead of just assuming that they enjoy it. In the article it
says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" this could really benefit schools all around the world. It could really help other things like people that get sent to jail you could see if they are actually guilty or not and this is actually trust worthy because if it worked on a painting it will work on a person
In conclusion facs could really benefit the world a lot more than some people may think from schools to other areas like jail or even people that have patients with depression and all of those jobs that involve emotions. | 2 |
438648b | Some people say that "The Face on Mars" is something that was built by ancient aliens, much like the theories that people come up with about the structures on Earth. Some people have even stated that the "aliens" could be trying to cover it up by hiding it during the time they take it. Then there are the firm believers that this is just a land mass that consists of the surroundings and resembles a mesa type biome. Since there have been developments over time, showing the different variations of the "face" and what it has become over the years. There are different arguements and different points of view, but there are different time periods with different variations of the same thing, so it will be proven that is is a natural land mass, and not a martian made structure.
There is a lot of things that points toward this being a natural land mass and that it is not a Martian made structure, or that the Government is trying to cover it up. One thing that shows that it is a natural structure is when the article states, "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough aroud Cydonia..." This means that there are multiple things like this, but the only things that make this one different is the fact that is has "unusual shadows" in it that make it look human or like a structure that was built. After this happened and people got news of it and figured out it wasn't real, the Conspiracy Theorists came out and made it seem like a cover up, but this isn't true, because NASA could have gotten publicity from it, as well as many funds. This mesa is no different from anything that we have in Western United States, there we have many mesas that could look equally as strange, but we don't bother, because we want to believe that there is other life, or that there is something strange going on in other planets.
Over the years, the images of this land mass have gotten more and more clear, and we have come to realize, that no, it is not a face, but it is a large point with shadowy parts in it. From the picture from 1976, it is really blurry, and you can't really tell what it is, which is what got people hopes up and thought it may be a structure, due to the shadows and the formation around it. The 1998 one is a bit clearer, but it still is a bit unclear of what it is or could be, because it does look like it could be something like the Sphinx in Egypt, but with the same formation around it. The 2001 image looks way more clear, and this one shows something completely different than what we expected, it is just a regular mesa, with cracks, dips and shadows, and the same formation around it as before. There is something you can tell about the 2001 picture though, if you look closely, it is the same image as all the others, because you can see the dips in it where the "eyes" and "mouth" are, just more clear so they don't really show up, and since everything is more clear, you can see the cracks, which could have added to the effect.
Even after all of the theories that were made, and NASA defending themselves, as well as people trying to prove them wrong, and prove that there was something that the government did to cover it up. All of this could still be fought, who knows, there could be life out there somewhere besides on Earth, but as of now, there is no proof, and this image will still remain a natural land structure. Some people are dissapointed by this, others are motivated to keep moving and possibly one day find some signs of life, so maybe humans would be prepped and set in case of disaster. There is nothing wrong with personal opinions, but for the most part and from what pictures and plenty of evidence have proven, this is still no more than a natural occurence do to the way land forms over time. So even though people may keep looking for any signs of something that could be a conspiracy, or you just want to find something "supernatural" or strange, but the fact stands that there are many thing like this, and just because it is on a different planet, does not make it anymore special, and it doesn't make it any different. | 5 |
4393d81 | The author is make a discover for future. It tell why and how are
we like human could stay a plane that is 2 or 3 times the tempertures, for the condition the humans will be able to survive in that planet. 97 percent of the Venus is cardon diovide, and the astronomers are honor to study the planet. But the Venus was a most earth-like which porfos that humans have a changes to live at that planet.
Yes, there is still more study to do, but it decdieu to send a craw to the planet because they try sending numerous of spacecraft to land on Venus, but each one of them only landing, nor it just last about a few hours at the planet. Knowing that
the Venus is a second planet could also tell why the planet is distan from have it a saft vantage point of the Earth we have.
Venus has it terms of how is work to live the planent, and the challenge its had to a value, but not only that the travel on Venus will be hard for the limited the dangers of the planet had. The doubts will expand amount many things on the way to new environmen,landform, and surface.
NASA had try,reseach and doing new discoving about the Venus which had infules by knowing it will not be an easy survivable for humans. NASA and others try to take of sample of Venus such as rock,gas,and anything from the planet to reseach it on the land. Numerous of researchers had work on the innovation to allow the approaches to had the enough to contribute bludered that Venus is hinding from.
The new ganenish had approaches the new technology , but the new electronics are now more apowerful. quick and calculationable. Back in the old day its was not perfect like nows, but the old technology still existing now, and the vawesome
the thought of the old computers now these days it may device make any calculation by using some of the gears and the levers, so it really did not require electronics at the time.
There would be a day were most of the poplure of humans will live up in Venus environment. Venus
might have some deepest parts of oceans like Earth.Beyond the years this day will be remeber in a different way, time, and place. Venus would probably be a new Earth-like , and which it might a supported various to the forms of the planet just like the Earth . | 3 |
439ad10 | Limiting car usage has so many benefits to give us. It can even lead to saving the world. We've lived without them before so it's not the end of the world if they are gone for even just a day.
First of all, cars are responsible for pollution(not all) in the atmosphere such as the greenhouse gas emissions. According to Source 1, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes....Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States. That is basically saying that having cars as often as we use them is harming the earth through their gas emissions. That cars are responsible for a certain percantage in the pollution.
Additionally, let us see about the few polluted cities or capitals such as Paris. They almost achieved a new record for pollutution! But the way they are handling it is quite successful. "On Monday motorists with even-numbered licese plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffere a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." (Source 2)This gives them a chance to reduce significantly the pollution by half if the license plates ratio were balanced. They are taking turns in car usage and lowering pollution and it's a great bill or law to help reduce the pollution. They needed that because according to Source 2, last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter comared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found. That's a lot of pollution they have been carrying. But " The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday."
Furthermore, there's more beneifts of reducing or limiting car usage. In BOGATA, Colombia, they have a Day Without Cars and it's starting to spread to other communities as well. They want to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog and those that violates will face $25 fines. This sounds like a very great and effective idea. Many people are participating in it and not only that "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."(Source 3)
In conclusion, limiting car usage will give us a greater advantage not only in our businesses but also our air. Reducing pollution is just the start of it, imagine many more benefits are there to come if we keep up with these conservative efforts. | 4 |
439e4a1 | Is the FACS (known as the Facial Action Coding System) a good idea to read the emotional expessions of students in a classroom valuable? I agree that it is, the reason why I agree to that cause it can help students show their emotions when they are scared to, and in the future it can really come in handy.
The reason why it can help students show their emotions when they are scared to is that because what if a student is in class and they are sad but they just don't wanna say or tell someone, well from the FACS it can show when the perosn is sad.
In the text it shows that from this new technology it can really come in handy in the future by the more we use it and explore with it, it can help with us by first making animated videos, like in games, movies, short films etc. that would come in handy cause by then things will be really easy.
In conclusion to my side is that I think its a good idea to start spreading the FACS around this will do good in the future and we can't make it good if we don't explore and make it spread cause i'm for sure know that this will be good for our society maybe for the whole world. | 2 |
43a5fd6 | There are many reasons why people would think that the face was created by aliens. There are also many reasons why people would think it is a natural landform. Either way, do we really know what it is?
The face is a very mysterious thing. It's not every day you see something resemble a face on a planet. There are many people out there that believe it is just a natural landform. People think that because there are many landforms on Earth that resemble a face so why think that aliens did it just because it is on another planet. Also they might not belive in aliens.
There are also people who think aliens created it. They think this because it really isn't an everyday think to see a landform that resembles a face. So they start to think what could have created that. Since it is on Mars they instantly think aliens. They think aliens because they can't think of what else could cause that and they think aliens can do crazy things like shape the land. Also people read things from newspaper articles that talk about it and watch movies about aliens and see them do crazy things like shape the land and other crazy things.
People who think the face is just a natural landform probably think the people that believe aliens made it are crazy. They might think they are crazy because there is no proof that aliens exist, so why think that something that might not exist create something like a face in a planet. It makes more sense that it is a natural landform that just so happens to resemble a face. Not many scientists believed it was an alien artifact so many people would think that is a natural landform because scientists don't believe it is something aliens created.
On April 5, 1998 Michael Malin and his "Mars Orbiter Camera" took a picture of the face. The picture was ten times sharper than the original and it proved that it was just a natural landform. People who believed aliens created it were unsatisfied because the way Mars faced in 98' it was winter time. So it was very cloudy. But on April 8, 2001 he set out for another picture. They took an extrodinary picture. Again it proved it was just a landform. So therefore the people who thought it was just a landform were correct.
In conclusion people had many reasons to believe what they believed. Michael Malin had to find out the answer and find out what exaclty made it. That's exaclty what he did. He found out it was just a landform that resembled a face. But does that mean that the people who believe aliens created it believe that it is just a landorm because of a picture? Maybe not but almost everyone believes/knows it is a landform because of the picture and observations. | 3 |
43af0ee | Not being able to exactly calculate what an individual is feeling is not always simple. Imagine being able to immediately detect another person's emotion. The Facial Coding System has the ability to do that. This is a recently invented software that can identify one's emotions by tracking facial movements. There are many great aspects to this new invention. The use of the Facial Coding System in classrooms to read the emotional expressions of students in our classrooms, should be put into action.
This software will make learning less stressful, and more efficient for the student. According to the article, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor". By putting this software into play, one can avoid being "confused or bored". It will postively influence the student's education since it will have the ability to "modify the lesson like an effective human instructor." Not only the student will benefit, but also the teacher since it can be time-saving for them. In the article it also stated that, "Empathy (feeling someone else's emotional state) may happen because we unconciously imitate another persons facial expression." This demonstrates how we "unconsciously" can come to the conclusion of what someone's emotional state is. Most teacher's do not know why their student is acting or responding the way they are. By the use of this invention teachers and students can avoid many debates and students could gain emotional aid. Learning will be successful.
We need this in our classrooms. We have heard and experienced lots of negatuve aspects from computers but this is why experts are developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate, like the Facial Action Coding system. Who would not want to see students more engaged in learning? | 3 |
43b21f7 | Are driverless cars good for the future or the destruction of it? I believe that driverless cars are dangerous to human lives because of how technology can fail, How technology has no reguard, and how it can be hard to use.
The first reason why the driverless car is dangerous is because of how it can fail. If I am driving I sure don't want to have the technology to fail and cause me to kill a person. For example what if the car never told me that I had to start driving and it went through a construction site and killed some of the workers. There would be blood on my hands!
The second reason why the driverless car is not safe is because it has no reguard for any thing. It is not like a living human that cares about the surroundings and can think to change course if need be. It may not think that a baby passing on the road is a big enough concern to try and stop. It states this in the passage "most driving laws focus on keeping driver, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that saftey is best achieved with alert drivers. Which goes along with what i am conveying.
The third reason why the driverless car is not safe is because of how hard it is to use for some people. I bring this point up because the old people in our society should be served first. They can hardly use Windows 8. Trying to teach them how to use a car that is way more advanced than Windows 8, would be terrible. They would not be able to know when the car is driving and when they should be driving.
Those three reasons are why the driverless car is not safe. It might malfunction, It has no reguard, some people might not know how to use it. | 3 |
43b4de2 | In Vauban, Germany, citizens have made the decision to not use cars. To some people, this may be something that they could never imagine themselves doing, becuase it would make life more complicted. However, these people are pleased with their decision and would not have it any other way. Furthermore, there are many advatages to making this change. By limiting car usage, citizens can improve their own health and economic state.
By making the decision to stop using cars, one can become healthier, both mentally and physically. One citizen who has already taken this step said,"'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way'" (Rosenthal 3). Many people who chose to limit their car usage, decided to walk or ride bikes instead. By chosing the alternative, they are less stressed. There is something soothing about walking down the road in a quiet and peaceful environment. Walking gives one time to reflect and think, while driving requires concentration and can be stressful. In addition to improving one's mental health, limiting car usage can also improve one's physical health. Pollution from the air can take a tolll on someone's physical health and the environment around them. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States" (Rosenthal 5). Pollution poisions the air of most cities where people live and breathing the pollution is not healthy for an individual. In cities like Beijing, inhabitants wear air filters over their mouths in hopes fo escaping the pollution. Limiting car uage can help improve air quality quickly. For example, after having multiple days of intense smog, Paris decided to ban cars with even-numbered plates for one day. After this one day of limited car usage, "the smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday" (Duffer 19).
Another advantage to limiting cars is that it could mean economic improvememt for individuls and countries. The banning of cars can mean improvement in the appearance of cities, which can have positive impacts on the economy of cities. "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; unevem, pitted sidewalks have beeen replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks" (Selsky 28). These improvements in the city can draw more people to them and stimulate the economy in places that have had difficulty before. In addition, individuals can save money by carpooling, biking, walking, or using public transit as an alternative optopn to driving. During the 2013 rececession, people were forced to sell their cars due to lack of money. However, after they recovered from this, they decided not to return to car usage due to their content in the lifestyle they had chosen (Rosenthal 32)
In conclusion, limiting one's usage of cars can have only positive impacts on one's life. This decision can have lasting impacts one's happiness, the environment, and the economy. | 5 |
43baa23 | The Electoral College has been kept for centuries, established by the founding fathers and established in the Constitution. I think that the process should be maintained; so far, it has worked fine and I do not see any reason to rid of it. The Electoral College should be continued in use because there are at least five main scenarios in which it is helpful and reasonable.
In ways, the Electoral College could be dangerous to use unless you have electors that are completely faithful in their party, and do not take advantage of getting to choose where to place their vote. Basically, voters are voting for a slate of electors, who then elect the president. These electors can go against the people's majority votes and decide who to vote for. It could also be possible that a state sends two slates of electors to elect. If the election was a direct vote, there would be almost no chance for a tie to happen, but with the Electoral College, there is always that possiblity. Some states do not even see the candidates because of the majority of the people living there belong to a single party, and the "winner-takes-all" system completely affects this. If the elcetion were to be a direct vote, the candidates might visit the states in order to gather as many votes as possible. However, many of these reasons that the Electoral Collge should be abolished are just one time things, so consider the other side of the argument.
Swing states basically decide the election and therefore, they are the most thoughtful voters. They know that they will be the ones to decide the election, so they pay more attention to the news, and the candidates' campaigns. The swing states receive the most information and attention from the candidates. Since they will end up deciding, the candidates want them on their side. Many sates are already pedicted, even before the election, as a majority of them are from one party. These voters think the most about who they want to run our country and who will do the best in that position, so they should be granted the honor of making the decision.
Electoral votes help avoid run-off elections, by reducing the pressure that might complicate the election. Say that our government referred to the direct vote system, with a lesser system known as the Electoral College was for comparison, and during the presidential election, there happened to be a problem with the popular votes versus the Electoral College; this complication could be avoided if we used the Electoral College. This has happened with nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992, when they both had only a 43 plurality of the popular votes but were winning in the Electoral College.
The Electoral College could be unwanted by many minority voters in states that leaned completely one way. These voters hardly pay attention during the campaign because they know that their vote will hardly make a diffference in their state, but a voter's vote could not swing a complete election, and not the full population voted in the 2012 election. Voters usually just like to express their preference and have it known than decide the vote that will make an election. It is more likely that your vote will count if you are educated in the happenings of the government, and maybe your vote can make a difference. | 5 |
43bbaee | The author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. Sergey Brin envisions a future with a pulbic transportation system where fleets of driverless cars form a public-transport taxi system. Television and movies have been fascinated with cars that could drive by themselves. Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions. I would be against the development of driverless cars because it would be expensive, would need more improve technology, and would need to make new laws for driverless cars.
Driverless cars can drive by themselves without a driver. It would fundamentally change the world. You can travel without handling the wheel at all.There are alot of technology that will help the car be driverless. In movies the criverless cars have been driven more than half a million miles without crashing. The founder of the Google Car project believes that the technology can make driverless taxi cabss to take them whereever they desire.
It would be to expensive to make the driverless cars come true. With the technology on the car, it would have cost a lot of money. The radar for the cars cost two hundred million dollars if theer are no sensors, no computers, and no mapping. There are sensors that helps control the car. The combination of all the sensors would be necessary fro the driverless car to mimic the skills of a human at the wheel. It would be expensive because of all the technology that the driverless cars needs for it to drive on its own.
It would need more improve technology to function the driverless car. Google's modifed Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor to mimic a human at the wheel. You could build smart-roads systems, but they will require massive upgrades to the existing roads. Automakers used speed sensors at the wheel in the creation of the antilock brakes. It would take that much technology to make the driverless car to work.
It would need new laws to keep the driver safe. The lawmakers would try to make laws that are safe for for drivers, passengers, and pedestrains safe. The lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alerted drivers. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in conmtrol at all times. Most states say it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars. If the traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liabiblity in case of an accident.
In conclusion, driverless cars are not safe to drive and risk the driver in danger.It takes lots of technology to control a driverless car.I do not agree with driverless cars because they are expensive, they would need more improve technology, and they would need to make more laws that would make the citizens safe. Some people said that it is possible to make driverless cars in hte future. I think that if we made driverless cars, we would not be sure that everyone will be safe. | 4 |
43c598e | In this essay its all about Venus and how hot it is and what it would be like to live there and what it would take to live there. So im going to start off by saying in my opion that it would not be fun to live there because of how hot it is. Despite the dangers in this artical it explains how hard it would to be there becuase of the sutdys of how the scients.
Even tho that it looks like a cute little star from where we see it on planet earth. This planet can reach the tempature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit thats pretty
hot if you think about it. It takes up to about 350 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit it make an average pizza at home now think of that twice as hot. Because thats the only the average tempeture on the planet. And did you know that Venus is the clostest planet to u. Its also the next planet we go to for us to live on if we ever get that far in science. in my opionn
i think that we will eventually get there now i dont know how long it will take us but i firmly belive that we we will get there. Venus is also known as earth twin. Because of terms of density and size. But we can't forget about our nerighbor by the name of "Mars". but the weird thing is that we all orbit the sun at differnt speeds. some cool things is that we have sent mulitple things to venus called "space crafts" but the sad thing is that non of the space crafts have lasted any longer than a acoulpe hors on venus. That is why we have not done any unmanned missions.
The planet venus has almsot 97 perdcent carbon dioxide blankets. a couple rason why i dont think that we could live there right now is because. the atmsopheric pressure is 90 percent more higher than the earths is!!! So this means that the things on planet venus are way more extreme than anything we have ever encounterd here on earth. Back to what i was saying with the tempature it is has the hottest surface in our solar system. A fun fact about venus is that it use to be fully covered in water which is kinda weird if you think about it because its the hottest surfaace a plantet surface has.
What im trying to say is that Venus would be so cool to live on but would also be really akward to live on because of how hot it is we would prolly have to wear hot suits to stay alive but i dont think ill be alive by the time we get thre because we cant even send machines there for a couple hours without them breaking so hopefully in the future we will be able to because it would be such an expirence for someone to live there and just be able to feel what its like to live on another planet. | 3 |
43c5cb6 | Some of te advantages of using cars less would be less pouilletion. Another one is it will be safer becasue less likely to hit another car or something. Studies show that nearly 10% of americans are getting in to car accdents might not sound like much but it is. Greenhouse gases are a big problem caused by the use of cars. Cars peduce furms that hurt the o-zone layer. If you dont know what the o-zone layer is it is the part of the earth that helps pertect us from uv rays that can cause cancer.
I think that there sould be a car free day in america becasue it seems to have helped Bogota, Colombia. In the passage it says that the it helped with reducing the traffic and it helps take awat stress and lowers air pollution. The aritcle says that these people are generating a revolutionary change. Municipal authorites from other countires came to see the event and were ethusiastic about it. This event is starting to spread to differnt cities in Colombie like Cali, Vallediupar. | 2 |
43c6947 | I think that driverless cars could be a great thing to have in the future, if they're safe enough to carry out the same actions that a driver can. In the future though, if kids grow up around driverless cars and aren't actually taught the rules of the road, then if there is an emergency that requires the drivers immediate attention as stated in the article, then the driver probably wouldn't know what to do. This can cause injury or even death to the people driving around him/her.
I also think that driverless cars could be a great thing for the future of technology, but the question that is asked in paragraph 9 of the article is very important to keep in the minds of the car manufacturers. If people rely on their car to do the driving for them, then if there is a wreck who is a fault, the driver or the manufacturer? If you do get blamed instead of the manufacturer, then I don't think that it is really fair because you weren't doing the driving and you trusted the driverless car to get you to your destination safely, and it didn't do that.
Considering these things though, if they were to teach the kids or even adult that didn't grow up around these cars the rules of the road and how the car works to prevent accidents like this from happening then i'd be all for driverless cars. They would be super cool in my opinion and if they worked correctly without many reported accidents, then i'd definitely try to get one. While taking drivers ed I was taught to be mindful of people around you and how your actions could effect other people and I just don't think that the driverless cars could really do that like a driver would be able to. | 3 |
43c6f9b | The technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is a wonderful idea in my opinion.
The computor for the students can be a interesting dissision for video imagery. The author explain"Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements-in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa"(Makeing Mona Lisa Smile 4). It proves that the video imagery can be a interesting thing because the software can tract facial movement if it's real or not.
Anothor thing about the computor for the students can read the student's emotions. The author states" The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computor can do"(Makeing Mona Lisa Smile 6). It shows that the facial expressions can be read by a computor because the computor can know when you are feeling happy,sad,mad,etc.
The last thing about the computor for the students is that they can be a reowned drama coach. The artical saids" Constantin Stanislavsky, had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage. Empathy may happen because we unconsciously imitate another person's facial expressions"(Makeing Mona Lisa Smile 9).Therefore it explains that the computor can be a reowned drama coach because the computor is carfully produce of the emotions on stage.
In conclusion the computors reading emotions are a best idea in time and only time will tell if we can create artifitial intellegence to the computor for the best in the world. | 2 |
43cb52e | In the article Making Mona Lisa Smile by "Nick D'Alto" the author gives differnt claims from different scientst on how a computer can detect emotion by our facial muscles. Computers can detect emotion because it can no the difference from fake and real feelings, for example in the article " Its all about those muscilar action units. They even indicate the differnce between a genuine smile and a forced one." Another reason how computers can detect emotion is because just how a friend can look at you and can see rather your sad, happy, mad ect. a computer can program those emotion into styem. another example " The new emotion-recognition sotfware tracks these facial movements-in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa". Than in paragraph three "Dr.Paul Eckam" has classitied six basic emotions and he use those emotions " associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles" . Fianally, in pargraph four Dr.huang said " Even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression". (meaning that just because someone isnt smilling as broadly doesnt mean they arent has happy or excited as they appear)
And thats where video imagery can recognize facial movements in a real face or in a painted of "Mona Lisa". Computers can detect emotions because its about the muscles in your face that can determine rather you are being geuin or not. | 2 |
43cd26b | Though there may be hardship during the way, Venus will most likely be a worthy opponent to take over. In paragraph 2, "Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study despite its proximity to us. Venus is a beautiful planet and its one of the hottest planets in our solar system. We may never be able see a manned ship land on Venus unless our technology sends us to surprise. The part where Venus is a challenging foe indeed will be more described as we move along in the next section.
Venus's history is unknown as we humans were not given the information for that particular part. As being a human can be strange, we always try our best to figure out any type of situation which led us to technology and civilization. In paragraph 4, "If our sister planet is inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?" Also in paragraph 3, " Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere." In some ways you can say visiting an unknown place in the solar system could be a challenge.
NASA's are amazing in multiple ways and what makes this topic interesting is that NASA are curious about the unknowns of our solar system. In paragraph 7, "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus." There are some ways to take up Venus's challenge like dealing with the air pressure,and having solar power. Also in paragraph 5, " Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." Though there hasn't been a solution, NASA should be able to find the answer.
The author has a slight image of going beyond the limits of our thought process. Followed in paragraph 8, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limiting by dangers and doubs but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." The author seems to have high hopes for the future and what's to come of Venus. In lines 1 and 2 of paragraph 8, " Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself." Taking the quote in consideration of lines 1 and 2 on paragraph 8, describes the original point on why Venus is so worthy in its round form.
All together Venus will become a hard project to be finished because of its qualities and unknown history behind it. The author's suggestion is very enthusiastic in some ways. The story has plenty of good information describing the second planet. In some way you can say Venus's surface is always talked about by many. Though the process of scientists trying to understand Venus will indeed be challenging and we'll have to wait and see the outome of Venus in the near future. | 2 |
43d40a3 | "The Face''
As we all know in the year of 1976 Nasa's Viking 1 spacecraft captured a photo which was belived to be a "face'' formed in Mar's surface. There has also been arguments over the years if "the face" was created by aliens or was it just a natural landform. Here is why I belive it is a natural landform.
In the article "Umasking the Face on Mars, in paragraph 12 it says what the picture that the picture actually shows that the Martian is equaivalent to a butte or messa which are landforms common around the American West. Some migfht that you can't actually tell what things really are just from a picture because it is only a proportion. Well, in paragraph 11 Garvin says that ," 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 Eqytian -style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were.
Some might say that you can tell by the picture thaat Viking 1 spacecraft took because of the type of technology they were using in the 20th century. Well in paragraph 10 they said that they rolled their spacecraft 25 degrees to center in the Face in the feild of veiw. Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camer's absolute maximum reslotion. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters, 43 in the 1976 Viking photo. This tells everyone that they did not make their decsion based upon 20th century technology, but they captured thier photo with morden day technology.
In conclusion, I belive that "The Face" was a just a natural landform. I belive this because of the eveidence that NASA provided and the fact that they went back to space and took anthor picture with up to date technology. | 4 |
43d5bb4 | Computers are one of the best inventions ever made by humans because they have enabled everybody around the world to connect to the Internet. The Internet fuels most peoples lives because of the sheer amount of accessible information about anything and everything. However, should we let computers start making their own decisions? Thomas Huang is the creator of a computer software that allows computesr to read human emotions using 3-D modeling and analyzing muscle movements in the face. At first glance, this appears to be an interesting concept, but there could be several downsides to this type of invention such as overall practicality, implementation in today's society, and even safety and security issues.
First of all, is a software that can read our emotions actually useful? There is potential for this type of software to be used on people for occasions such as a interrogation where the suspect could be lying and the software could detect a quivering lip. On the other hand, this type of software is most likely not going to make it into the homes of the people which presents a business problem. Their solution is to introduce the software into schools to be used for enhancing the learning experience. Dr Huang describes how computers in the classroom could "recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored...then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instuctor" resulting in a better learning environment for the student. The issue is, not every student needs this, and many will prbably disagree with having this software implemented in their school. So, this type of computer software has few areas that it will probably be used causing it to be less practical than it originally seems.
Secondly, how will FACS (Facial Action Coding System) be implemented into a society that is normally unwilling to new changes regarding their technology? People want improvements, but they don't want change. For example, when an application has an update most people update it without giving it a second thought because the newer it is the more likely it will be "better" than the previous version. But, when a new phone comes out with plenty of changes people are skeptical and wait for their friend to buy it before they consider purchasing one themselves. So, as a result, people will most likely be skeptical of a software that is able to read emotions because it is something new and no one has any experiences with it yet. This causes FACS to seem like a software that won't be implemented or at least widespread for a long time.
Lastly, will the common person feel like their privacy is being invaded with this new software? For FACS to work the user must have a camera or some kind of scanning device that is able to detect individual muscles. A highly accurate scanning device in the common home will most definitely scare some people out of having this type of software. For example, some people believe that they are already watched through their smartphone camera even though they don't have any form of evidence of such actions taking place. A natural fear of invasion of privacy is part of human nature and cannot be changed. In paragrpah seven D'Alto, the author, mentions that FACS can detect a fake and a real smile which only solidifies the softwares scanning precision. What if someone was talking with their boss using their computer and they lied to protect their job? Although this kind of action should result in that person being punished or fired FACS could use the camera on the computer to see that they were lying and report it to the person's boss or company. Now, this situation is impractical and hopefully it never happens, but the idea that FACS has the ability to use a camera in the home to do whatever they want is scary and will drive people away from using it.
In conclusion, FACS will probably be used for specific tasks only, but it is interesting to ponder the potential for similar softwares in the future. The main problem that Dr. Huang will face is trying to show the people the trustworthiness of the product. If there is too much skepticism from the people it simply won't be found around the world and rather only in more secluded places such as labs or research facilities for testing purposes. In the future, other softwares will be created and maybe they will have the potential to impact the world in influential, innovative, and successful ways. | 6 |
43d915d | The first thing im gonna talk about is in the store it sayed they took there right to drive away and fined them if they do drive that is stupid. If u pay for that car or truck and pay for the the gas that they sale you should be able to drive that car or truck wherever u want to. And if they new it was gonna cause harm to the environment then why did they do it i mean that's pretty dumb. They new that them hazardous gasses and fumes were gonna mess things up so why would they do it.
But u have to have these vehicles and semis to be able to transport goods from place to place do i mean your really just gonna have to deal with it cause u have to have them cause whose gonna hall all that stuff by hand one by one nobody and its just a waste of time cause u would kill yourself trying to do it so why not just use a semi that uses left over stuff from gas that way there not dumping all that stuff out on the ground ans its not going down and pouluting our water let it puluote our air but if we don't have that water we couldnt go 3 days and we could were gas masks if it come down to it its really not that big of a deal.
There making this how smog thing a big deal they can come up with something to help that or go away that is just so stupid that they do that cause they can prevent some of it with safe idle and emmisind but they dont want to hold to there laws ad people that are doing it they just let them go on like there doing and they do nothing about. Why would they do wat they are doing and not help us out and quit taking our rights away. | 1 |
43dea20 | The face is just a natural landform and it couldnt have been made by aliens for certain reasons and here is why. There were no living creatures to be found anywhere on mars. Even in the last paragraph it said it reminded Garvin of most of
Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
"That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars." Garvin also said about the Face. Natural landforms are usually formed by Natural events. Probably the same thing that happened on Mars. When Mars Gloval Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, it snaped a picture ten times sharper than the original viking pictures and all it revealed was a natural landform, no alien monument. Although some said that the alien markings might have been hidden by haze, there still was no alien markings to be found after the next picture they took on a cloudless summer day in Cydonia. It was the best 1976 Viking photo and still no sightings of life on Mars.
I do too think there might be forms of life or "aliens" on other planets but just maybe not Mars. After all, Mars is not completly suitiable for life to live on even though its called Earths twin. If we just do enough research, soon we just might find more interesting things to lead us to other forms of life on other planets. | 3 |
43e2c1f | "The more technology we have the more knowledge we loose. The more technology we have the more lazy we get." Cars could fundamentaly change the world. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author presents both postive and negative aspects of driveless cars. Driverless cars have a more negative aspect than a positive aspect because it can cause many accidents, they're expensive and they are too smart.
Driverless cars are faster than any other car ,a lot of people are facinated with them but the fact that these cars can steer, accelerate and brake themselves can cause many accidents. These driveless cars dont drive through work zones and around accidents. The car will require the human's attention whenever there's a problem. if the techonology fails whose fault is it? the drive or the manufacturer?
One of the biggest concerns about driveless cars is that they're really expensive baecause they have many expensive sensors;sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camara mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors and a GPS. imagine how much all of these things could cost? very expensive and what if one day you wake up and the car doesnt work? imagine how expesive it is going to be to fix it.
Lastly, Driveless cars are too smart. They have a very advanced technology. They have all thse sensors and too much technology can be very dangerous for humans, tis technology is not nessesary for hiumans.
in Conclusion, Driveless cars can be very dangerous but a a lot people would love to buy them just for the simply fact that it can be more practical, that way the dont have to drive to store if they dont want to or to their jobs or even to another state. There is only four states that have approved the use of this cars. Manufactures believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars proved more reliably safe. | 3 |
43e4564 | Dear, state senator
I believe we should keep the Electoral College for the president of the United States.
Because it's easier to read when voting, everything is label right, and the President has alot of trust in people.
First of all, I believe we should keep the Electoral College for the president of the
United States because it's easier to read when voting. In source one, by the Office of the Federal Register, it states that "The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President". This shows that when all the votes are tallyed up theirs no need to go through so much problem, when their's basically a rubric to go over the electors and the electoral votes. For example, if this wasn't invented, we would have our own people just sit their on long day and nights. Without any sleep and count all those votes. This could lead to alot of miscounts. This is why I believe we should keep the Electoral College for the presidnet of the United States.
Furthermore, I believe we should keep the Electoral College for the president of the
United States because everything is label right. In source one, by the Office of the Federal Register, it states that "Under the 23rd Amendement of the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors. . . .". This shows that whatever the 23rd Amendment is under, that's what the District of Columbia is allocated. This is just like an case at court or when you getting arrested. For example, when you are pleged guilty for murder. The judge is going to read every amendment you broke and what's your charges. And everything that's she's reading is made up. It's all labeled in United State Constitution. This is why i strongly believe we should keep the Electroal College for the president of the United States.
Lastly, I believe we should keep the Electoral College for the president of the
United States because the president has alot of people to trust in. In source one, by the Office of the Federal Register it states that "Each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors." This shows that whoever the president of the United State is choosing for his or her own group of electors has put alot of trust on each and one of that individual. And it's time for the President to see who or who he can't put his trust in. For example, A president has alot of things that we depend on him or her to do for our Country. And the Electoral College is the best way to see if he or she could do it. This is why I believe we should keep the Electoral College for the president of the United States.
In conclusion, I strongly believe we should keep the Electoral College for the president of the United States because; One, it's easier to read when voting. If the Electoral College didn't existed their would be alot of miscounting. Second, everything is label right. Their's no need to get things from the top of your head. Third, the presdient has aot of in trust in people. Us humans gets to finally see if we could depend on him. If he choose's the right group of electors. This is why I believe we should keep the Electoral College for the president of the United States.0 | 2 |
43f253b | The electoral college method is a process that consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for the President and the Vice president, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. This means that that people are not directly voting for who they want to be president but voting for an elector that then places a vote. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a comprimise between election of the president by a vote in Congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, and a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president.
But the other process of voting for a president is what we have now, it is called the popular vote, in which people go to a place where there are machines that you can place your vote for the president you want elected, the person with the most votes becomes the president of the United States and the person that lost the popular vote is elected vice president.
You may ask, well what is wrong with the Electoral College system? Well under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. Some people are very serious about their choice of the president they take their time to learn what the president could do for them and their state and country. So when that much time is put in to making that vote people would get mad if a person with an entirely different idea just takes their vote and places it wherever they want.
The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic mothod of selcting a president that should be overruled by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. Since the electoral college is so old I think it is time to ebolish it! | 2 |
43f5d42 | Ever since World War II our development has been centered on the car, now people are questioning if whether or not we have gone in the correct direction. With many people coming to a realization that private transportation may not be the best option for travel, it is hard to deny. There are already developed places in the world experimenting with the abscence of cars in their society.
Vauban, Germany is one of those places. Vauban residents have undertaken the task of turning their streets completely car-free, and it's working. The residents of the district even claim to enjoy a community without automobiles more, people claim to be less tense and happier without owning a car. 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, those who do live in areas dedicated to large garages at the edge of the development that car owners but for $40,000, along with a home. While efforts in the past to making cities denser have given people a better reason to walk, it hasn't gone away at all, people are still driving everywhere they go. In the United States car reduced communities are being promoted by the Enviornmental Protecetion Agency, and legislators are starting to act on this. Public transport serving suburbs will play a much larger role in a new federal transportation bill being approved this year.
Vauban is not the only place with that has experimenting with banning private transportation, Paris has banned driving due to smog after days of near-record pollution to clear the air of the city. The smog rivaled Beijing, China, one of the most poluted cities in the world. People blamed diesel fuel because of a French tax policy favors diesel over gasoline, diesel makes up 67 percent of cehicles in France. Paris has more smog than other European capitals, many companies complained of lost revenue, but exceptions were made to allown plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers. Public transit was also free of charge Friday to Monday. The smog cleared enough Monday for the ban on odd-numbered plates to be lifted.
Bogota, Columbia is also doing their part in attempting to reduce the amount of automobiles used in society, car-free day has been in effect for three years in Bogota. With a large turnout, the streets were free of traffic jams as millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated, and took buses to work. People comment how it is a great opportunity to redice stress and air polution in Columbia. Municipal authorities from other countries travel to Bogota to see the event, and they believe it to be a revolutionary change. Since the day without cats was implemented into an improvement camapign that began in the mid-1990's, 118 miles of bicycle path has been constructed in Columbia.
In the United States, we are being affected by these other countries choices to give up air pollution for a less stressful and tense life. Recent studies suggest a decrease in the amount of cars being bought by Americans, as well as the amount of people getting lisceces. Not buying cars are helping Americans with their finances and improving their health. Sociologists believe that if this pattern persists it will benefit the American public and enviornment greatly. | 3 |
43fb35c | The Electoral College has been around since the Constitution was established by the founding fathers. The question is, Is it time for it to go? I believe that the Electoral College should be kept, because changing the election by popular vote would not be wiser, and the Electoral College is fair for the people.
Changing the election by popular vote would not be smarter. Source 3 states, "In 2012's election... Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3% of the popular votes cast for him and Romney." This source is arguing against the Electoral college, meaning they're trying to make a point on why it's not fair that Obama won with his 61.7 percent. The people vote for their electoral college, for their state. If the electoral college's votes are higher than the popular votes that means that the college is doing their job correctly. Source 3 also states, "... Because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, even slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral- vote victory in that state." This statement means that even if the popular and electoral votes are both high, the electoral vote wins, because majority rules. Just because the person running for office is popular, doesnt mean they should necessarily win. Electoral votes basically come from the people, and if the "people" choose a certain candidate, then that's who should win.
The Electoral College is fair to everyone. Source 2 states, "Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." This method of choosing the president is completely and totally fair to the people. No, they're not directly choosing who the president is, but they have people to do it for them. As long as they cast in the right vote for the party that that candidate represents, then the Electoral college board should be filled with all the right people. Yes there is a possibility that the candidate someone votes for may not make it on the Electoral college board, but if the majority of the people are represnted, then that's all that matters. Source 3 states, "...each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that truth is barely betrayed)... however it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote." For instance, if the people vote for candidates for the electoral college, and the majority of them are not what the majority of the people wanted, or they lied about being pledged to a candidate for president, then there is still a chance that the candidate that the people did want could be elected, by the national popular vote. Also, the people that are against the electoral college shouldn't be, because the electoral college is not definite. Just because the electoral colleg votes for a certain candidate, does not guarantee that the overall national vote will be that person.
Eventhough some people think that the electoral college, should be no more, I strongly disagree, because the college is fair to the people -because they represent the people- and the college is a smart idea. The college works in everyone's favor. For those that disagree, there is always a strong chance that the candidate represented by the elctoral college will not win presidency.
In conclusion, the Electoral college is beneficial to the people and a wise idea. The people in the entire country are never going to unanimously agree on anything. Keeping the Electoral college is not only wise, but a safe way to ensure that voting doesn't go wrong, and that the people always get a fair say in government matters. | 5 |
43fc657 | Benefits Without a Car
Could you imagine your life without a car? It seems impossible if cars wouldn't exist. Did you know that there are cities where people have'nt used their cars for a whole day? While in others people dont ever use cars. People think that without a car they're nothing, and that life is totally different. But there is something very interesting happening around us, in other countries which is the reason why they've stopped using cars for a while. The polluted air due to cars in doing no good for us. Think about it, maybe you could might live without are car for a day for an important cause.
First thing first, we should learn how people live in other countries without a car. It sounds weird to us, but it's something normal for them. There is forbidden to have home garages and to park cars on street in Vauban, Germany. According to Elizabeth Rosenthal, Vauban, Germany has gone from a city with cars to people giving up their cars. "street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders"(Rosenthal, paragraph 2). This place is "car free" except for the downtown area and a few streets of the community. She also states that other countries like the US experiments more problems in pollution."passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50%
in some car-intensive areas in the US"(5). People walk way more in Europe, they dont suffer much from air pollution.
Additionally, Paris has enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. These cities have stopped using their cars for a while to help calm the air pollution. "On Monday motorists with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31)" (Robert Duffer, paragraph 11). Although that people were not supposed to us ehtier cars that day, 4,000 drivers were fined according to Reuters. The cause for not driving for that day was because the cold nights and warm days caused the air to trap car emissions. Another reason for car free in Paris is because of the micrograms found. "Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.9 in London, Rueters found"(Duffer, 17). Its an advantage to prevent car usage because the smog is clearing in these cities.
In similarity, millions of Colombians hiked, walked and did many other activities without touching a car to prevent the smog. These cities are working together to make the world a better place. "In a program that set's to spread to toher countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday"(Andrew Selsky, paragraph 20). The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog, and they achived it. That day without a car was an improvement camapign in Bogota. Surprsingly, in the US recent studies have stated that Americans are buying fewer cars and driving less each year that goes by. "if the pattern persists- and many sociologists believ it will- it will have beneficial implications for carbon emmisions and the environment"(Elizabrth Rosenthal, paragarph 34). There has also been changes in the US. Driving less has stopped air pollution.
In conclusion there are benefits without a car. Benefits for the world around us, and well you might get some stress out if you start walking, hiking, or riding bycicles for a while. It's incredible just to think of the idea that many countries have stopped driving for a day to make their country or city a better place. While in cities like Vauban, Germany people live without cars. Thats what makes their city different. Even though they do also let these things happen for a right cause. I think that we could live without a car for one day, it's not a big deal, really. It's to make the US a better place. | 4 |
43fc6ff | They say venus is worth studying because it is closest to earth at some points. Venus has far too extreme climate then any human can survive even more encounter. Venus as they call it is a evening star it is the brightest points of light in the night sky.
Many people refer venus as earth twin it is the closest plant to earth in size and density. They have been many shipps and crafts try to land on venus but many of them are unamed succesfull. they could land but not last more then a few hours. Venus is unsafe for humans because the surface can get up to 88 degrees fahrenheit we would burn alive we couldnt last more then a couple hours there even with extremem gear. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times stronger then what we deal with on earth.
In cunclusion Venus is not really a planet we can land on and begin earth civilazatoin. It is far to extreme for any human. It is to hot as it to dense. Although venus a plant nasa would like to study more and get more infromation about it Technology way advanced now but even then it is nearly impossible for spacecrafts to land and for humans to explore. | 2 |
440261d | In this essay I will be giving an argument on why this so called "face" is not made by aliens.
The prompt tells you that one of your colleagues says that it is created by aliens.
My job in this essay is to tell why it isn't and give an explanation.
The figure that NASA saw was a so called "face on mars".
They claimed that it was in the shape of a human head and it was thought to be made by aliens.
In my oppinion this is not made by aliens.
Here is a reason why.
All these years NASA has gone to a two or three planets looking for aliens.
Throughout the years how many have we found, none!
Yes, we may have found some traces of aliens, but we can not prove that these are actually alien tracks, or alien lifeforms.
There is no way to prove that this structure was made by aliens, unless we have images of them, and so far we have none.
Look down on earth.
How many mesas or Buttes do we have in America, or even around the world?
Now think about this, were these man made?
No, none of these land formations were man made!
They are formed naturally by nature.
Now over the years we have found a lot of reasons how Mars is sort of like the earth.
It carries water, and it is one of the easiest planets to get to, so if you think about it, Mars could have the same land formations as we do!
Nature is a beautiful thing, and it more than likely made this so called "face".
Yes, you may be right in some way.
Yes, we have found traces of aliens over the years.
This COULD have been made by aliens.
Maybe they are trying to connect to other life outside of their planet.
That is the only argument that you have against me.
The argument that isn't even factual.
You are going off of a guess in your mind.
So overall in this essay I have covered three thing.
I have covered my first argument, which is that we have not found aliens even though we have been searching all of these years.
I have covered my second argument, which is that nature has formed many structures like this on earth, it could have been formed out of the land.
And I also covered the rebuttle, which is that there is a possibility that this was built by aliens because we have found traces.
So in conclusion, this structure was not built by humans, this was land made. | 3 |
4406d5e | In the classroom setting, most of the time teachers struggle to understand the ever changing moods and emotions of their students.
This presents a problem for the education system, as trainer and trainee usually need to see eye to eye for progress to be made.
Fortunately for us, technology has improved to the point that computers can describe all the emotions on someone's face.
The use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because a computer will not tire and therefore will be able to calculate emotions in a longer timeframe than humans, it can be more accurate than normal people, and it could actually modify different procedures based on the software's collected data.
First and foremost, the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because a computer will not tire and therefore will be able to calculate emotions in a longer timeframe than humans.
In the article Making Mona LIsa Smile there is a quote that says; "The software is the latest innovation from Prof. Thomas Huang...(D'alto, 1)"
The quote clearly says that the emotion-recognition technology is computer software, and therefore can function for longer amounts of time than a normal human, which makes it valuable.
Secondly, the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because it can be more accurate than normal people.
In the article called Making Mona Lisa Smile, there is a quote that states; "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements...
By weighing the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions.(D'alto, 4)"
Most of the time, one can really only make an educated guess at what's on other people's minds.
But with the use of the emotion-recognition software, one can accurately describe the emotions on one's face, which makes it valuable.
Furthermore he use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because it could actually modify different procedures based on the software's collected data.
In the article called Making Mona Lisa Smile, there is a quote that says; "A classroom computer [using emotion-recognition software] coul recognize when a stidnet is becoming confused or bored... Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.(D'alto, 6)"
The quote explains that the emotion-recognition software has the capability to modify the way is does a task based on the data is collects.
This alone makes it a very effective instructor, and also very valuable.
In conclusion, the use of technology to read the emotional expresions of students in a classroom is valuable because it can keep functioning for a long time, it can represent its collected emotion data as numerical values, and it can change how it does things based on this.
The tech indeed very valuable.
It could change learning forever. | 4 |
4408754 | There have been conspiracy theories going around that the Face on Mars is actually created by aliens, but it can be proven to everyone that the claims are false. The Face is simply a natural landform, and NASA is not trying to hide or distort the truth. Some may still be skeptical, but there is proof that the Face is not an alien monument of any sort.
As stated before, the Face is actually a natural landform. It's the Martian equivalent to a butte or mesa found commonly in the American West. Fellow researcher, Jim Garvin, even states that it reminds him of the "Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho"(paragraph 12). It can be proven that Earth landforms definitely aren't made from aliens, and the same could be said for the Face.
The Face isn't even an actual face, so it's unlikely it even is an alien monument. The only reason the rock formation resembles a face is because the shadows cast an illusion of facial features such as eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Pictures of the Face were captured two other times using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. Skeptics may believe that NASA messed up somewhere or that something was flawed, but it is highly unlikey that this is true. The procedure was performed on a cloudless summer day with the best camera at NASA's disposal.
Some skeptics may still doubt that the Face wasn't created by aliens, believing that NASA is just attempting to hide the evidence of an ancient civilization. In truth, this is false, but many defenders of the NASA budget wish there were signs of alien life. How can one believe NASA is keeping secrets about alien life from the public when it would benefit to do the opposite. Proof of an alien civilization would be more helpful to share than hiding it, so why do people believe otherwise?
Whether or not people believe the Face is actual just a Martian landform, it doesn't affect the researchers of NASA. Evidence to support the claim has been provided, but what proof do the skeptics have? Can they really disprove the truth or are they just desperate for attention? | 4 |
4408d03 | In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author presents both the positive and the negative aspects of driverless cars. Therefore, the author never takes a side on the matter. This response will side with the argument of being against driverless cars. This is for the following reasons; driverless cars promote less disciplined actions with not only adults but with teen drivers. Second, automated cars would not benefit the economy, it would damage it even further. Finally automated cars put safety features at risk compared to having an abled-human to do the driving functions manually.
Driverless cars can promote less disciplined actions among teen and adult drivers. This assumption is made because, driving under the influence, as well as underage drinking are huge topics of discussion in today's society. Driverless cars would give these two groups of people an exscuse to commit these actions. They would no longer have to worry about the reproccutions of such crimes. Such as putting other's lives in danger or getting caught by the police.
Automated cars would not benefit the economy in any way. In fact, the cars could worsen the already bad financial situation America faces now. This is because of the following quote from the article. "Originally, many futurists believed the key to developing self-driving cars someday wasn't so much smarter cars as smarter roads." "These smart-road systems worked suprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." These direct quotes further express to society that these automated cars require very new, very expensive roads.
Lastly, driverless cars put saftey features at risk compared to having an able-bodied human to do the functions instead. "Most driving laws focus on kepping drivers, passnegers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." This quote speaks entirely for itself.
In conclusion, the best option for society is to not have driverless cars because, they promote less disciplined actions with teen and adult drivers, they would not benefit the economy, and finally these driverless cars put safety features at risk compared to having an able-bodied human to do the manual functions when presented them. | 3 |
440ec2c | Well first off Dr. Paul Eckman created a sytem called FACS, which creates affects and changes on human facial expressions for better results. This allows a new form of technology to change emotions and more. This software can identify emotions just like that!.
In my opinion I think that there is no need for this system to identify facials expressions on students. Because first we are young so you know when we are angry, happy, or sad because we tend to show it. Like body language older people and even people my age know when there is something wrong with one another, because you can tell how they usally are from how they are at that moment. Don't get me wrong i like what Dr. Paul came up with this type of science and technology, but i dont think it's neccessary to change pictures and add emotions to something.
I just think using this technology on these students wouldn't do much, but tell you whether or not there sad, angry, happy, confused, excited, and etc. However this technology shounldn't go to waste I mean you can use this technology in other ways like animlas, you can't really tell whether an animal is happy, sad,and etc.
But so far I like the whole idea just not the type of experiment Dr. Paul is trying to accomplish. His technology that he has created is outstanding , and im pretty shore he can find something else to use it for. So like I said you don't need a comeputer to read a humans face or body langauge. | 2 |
441ba57 | "Imagine being able to detect exactly how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions. New software has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others. This new software, the Facial Action Coding System, has promising applications for a variety of inustries."(Nick D'Alto). The use of the Facial Action Coding System is valuable because it can use facial recognition for ads, it can use facial recognition when working with computers in a classroom, and it can make computer graphics more realistic and expressive.
The Facial Action Coding System can use facial recognition for ads. It can use facial recognition by being in the computer camera, and everytime an ad pops up it can tell if you smile or frown, by smiling or frowning the computer will know whether to have similar or different ads, when showing ads. As stated in paragraph 6 "[...]if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different."
The Facial Action Coding System can use facial recognition for working with computers in a classroom. It can be used when working with computers in a classroom because if it can read students faces then it would be able to know if the student is confused or bored. If it is able to know if the student is confused or bored then it can change the lesson ever so slightly so that it is more interesting and appealing to the student learning. As it says in paragraph 6 "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored [...] then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."
The Facial Action Coding System can be used for computer graphics and facial expressions. This technology can improve computer graphics by being able to read the faces of real people and adding their facial expressions into games which would make the game more realistic. Another amazing idea for the use of this technology is the way it can use video surgery to help doctors and surgeons perform facial operations. It would scan the face of the patient and read its face, this could potentially help the surgeons know where his face is most injured and would also help the surgeons have a better look at the patients face during the operation. As said in paragraph 6 "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video games or video surgery."
The Facial Action Coding System can use facial recognition for ads, it can use facial recognition when working with computers in a classroom, and it can make computer graphics more realistic and expressive. These ideas are just the start of the new technology. The new technology is a gateway to many other technologies that will be built similar to the way this one was. As life goes on so does our technology and as humans create more and more technology, the smarter us humans get. I believe that this technology is just as valuable as the next and even more valuable than the last.

441e12f | In the US many people use different methods to get around. They walk, take a bus, but many use some sort of automobile. All these ways are very efficent but have you ever thought of maybe the outcomes of what cars do to the planet we live on? Let me tell you the things that would change of limiting car usage.
To start off, having to always worry about paying car payments or getting gas can be very pesky knowing you already have to pay for housing,food,clothing and if you have kids supporting them. All that can be very stressfull and make life even harder to live with, like in source 1 mother of two, Heidrun Walter talks about how "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Her not having a car made her life way less stressfull and tense then before hand.
Another outcome of limiting car usage would be less pollution. All these fumes are not good for the planet we live on and deffintley not good for us human beings. In source 2 it says how Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air from all the gases in the air from moter vehicles. You know how much fumes would have to be in the air for them to make a driving ban? I mean if thats not putting up a red flag i don't know what would. We only have one place to live right now and its our jobs to keep it clean and protect it.
Without cars people are gonna have to find a way to get around. In source 3 it talks about the millions of Columbians finding that way when they didn't have there car to do that for them. They looked too hiking, skating, and walking. All these alternatives are a great way to live a healtheir life then to just let machines do the work. When you exercise more its said to widen your life span and prevent diseases like Diabetes or Obesity. Being able to live better heatheir lives would only effect us is a positive way.
Lastly another adavantage would be less deaths due to car accidents. So many people die every year from recklace drivers or people driving under the infulence, limiting car usage would drop these numbers down drasically and make life for us way safer.
All these little advantages would make such a big outcome to everyday life as we know it, it would make our lives better in every outlook. | 4 |
44205c0 | The author suggest the reader to study Venus isnt directly in the text but he/she gives you the idea that you should look into it. Throughout the article the author talks about Venus and others planets in out solar system. but he mainly talks about Venus and Mars. The author tells us that Venus isn't actaully a Evening star, it just has that name because it is closer to the sun. Venus is also referred to as Earth's "twin" because it is the closest planet to us in density and size and sometimes distance. In the text it says "Venus can be right around the corner in space'. Even though Venus is right around the corner we have still yet to land an actually spaceship on it. There hasn't been any space craft the a has been successfully on Venus for more than a few hours.. Although in paragraph 6 it says ''many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to long enough to contribute meaning to our knowledge of Venus''. This is tell us that there is still stuff to learn about mars and this story isnt complete. | 1 |
442479e | When the Viking 1 discovered the face on Mars, many people believed that the face was created by aliens. Forty years later, those consperacies remain in the minds of many people who do not belive NASA when they say, "It's just a mesa." NASA has sent three objects to Mars, the Viking 1 the Vinking 2, and a MGS, in which all three have been able to locate this face shaped messa in a area called Cydonia. Each time the face become a little less noticiable but stil noticable enough to find.
On April 5th, 1998, the MGS along with Michael Malin and his Mars Obriter Camera flew over Cydonia for the first time. They were albe to snap a picture ten times sharper than the one taken in 1976. The picture was uploaded to the internet, where thousands of wed surfers wher waiting to see what it revealed. to many their theory had been proven to be correct, while others still thought it was a alien built structure. The picture revealed a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. Not everyone was satisfied with the outcome. Some skepticcs said that alien marking were hiden by the haze. The pictures were taken at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter, a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet, causing the Mars Global Surveyor to have to peer through wispy clouds in order to see the face.
The skeptics were right when they said that they had to peek through haze, however they were wrong about the part where they said the haze hid the alien markings. On April 8th, 2001, just three years after the Viking 2 found the face, another mission to Mars reached its location. the 8th of April was a cloudless summer day in Cydonia. The MGS was able to draw close enough for a second look at the face. Garvin said, "We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Fce in the feld of view. Milin"s team captured an extrodinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution." Each pixil in the 2001 imge sans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. He went on to say, "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 in the groud or Egyptian-styl pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" By saying that, Garvin proved all those speculations about the face being an alien structer, are false.
What the picture actually shows, is not a alien civilation, but is the Martian equivalent od a butte or messa. Buttes and mesas are common landforms around the American West. Garvin addedthat it reminds him most of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. He then explained,"That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face of Mars."
After the first picture of the face on Mars was released to the public, NASA explained the picture is just, "a huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the ilusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." It was later added that it is just another Martian mesa,, common around Cydonia. The only difference that seperates this one form the rest are unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.
Like the man on the moon, the face on Mars is only a structure that resembals the humans that run Earth. The accidental resemblance is quite astonishing to say the least, thought nevertheless, in reality its "just anouther Masa" made by nature not aliens. | 4 |
442a914 | Do i think that using technology to read emotion expressions of students in a classroom is valable you may ask, It is a marvoulous idea.
Technology has come so good in the past 17 years. I remember back in 2000 when the flip phones had just come out and fast forwars 17 years later we now have a computer that can read anyones facial expression and tell us how they are feeling. I can't even begin to imagine how much more advanced technology is going to get later on in life, it already seems to be that we could possibly have all the technology we could ask for, yet people all around the world just seem to be getting better and thinking of smarter ways to invent new things.
Why is this a good idea you may ask. For starters if technology will be able to read kids expressions while learning and being in class for teachers there will be one very good benifit. " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" Dr. Huang predicts this is going to be a very good thing for teachers, because teachers will be able to know what a kid is feeling this means that the teach will no longer have to keep going over the same information with the same kids just because one kid does not understrand it or isnt paying attention. The teacher can focus on those targeted students spicificly, and not have to go over the same information multiply times. Knoledge is a great thing to have.
One good benifit from this is that teachers can teach more to kids in a more faster way so they can get more things done, because the FACS will tell you if the kids understands the information and or get bored that way techers can work with those kids in a different time and move on to more things with the kids that do understand it.
Having computers that can read kids expresions to tell you whether you are bored or confused is a genius idea. It will be a good thing for both reachers and kids. The science behind it is also neat for people to understand how it came about the FACS. | 3 |
442da01 | Many people on Earth can argue that the Face on Mars is an alien artifact. Others can argue as well with the explaination of why the Face is not an alien artifact. In a way, there is no such evidence of this formation to be an exact subject of matter of an alien artifact. This is not bya any case true because there is no absolute evidence that there is an ancient civilization living on Mars, the Face is just a natural land form (and what is called a meas), and the pixles on camras have improved over the years than what scientists used twenty-five years ago.
In the case of a conspiricy therorist, they can give you some facts and ideas to support their idea of aliens and that they were the ones that created the Face, there is just not enough evidence to support their claim to that. There is not even a single drop of evidence that there is an ancient civilization living on Mars. In the text in "Unmasking the Face on Mars", it stated that few scientist belied that the Face was an alien artifact because the MGS was sent into Mars to take photos eighteen years later after the Viking missions ended.
There is still more reasons to say that the Face is not created by aliens because the Face is just a natural landform. Like here on Earth, there is many and many landforms. In the text, it said that when the MOC snapped a picture of the Face, it revealed a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. What the picture really shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- land forms that are common in the American West.
Even before when the space team took pictures of the Face, their technology was not as sophisticated as it was eighteen yearas later when they took another picture of the Face and reveling a Martian mesa. There is better technology with camaras
in 2001 then there was twenty-five years ago. In the article, it says that MGS flew over the first time, Michael Malin and his MOC teeam snapped a picture ten time sharper than the original Viking photos. This indicated that the team had better equipted camaras than they had when the original photos were taken. Although, some conspiricy therorist might give off some logical information that ther could be a civilization, there is still no sign
nor any evidence that
gives off of aliens living on Mars and or even creating the Face.
Over all, in that case, there is still logical evidence and reasons why people must think over twice before concluding the idea of another civilization living in our solar system. Who knows? Maybe one
day there could be beings that we
would encounter someday. | 4 |
442f36d | The author has a point that we should study Venus, it maybe an option to vist when earth is well populated. But first, scientise have to over come the dangers of Venus. Then find a way to make our machines to last long. Third thing is that they need to do is finding a way to overcome the many challeng that the planet has for humans to study.
First thing is that scientise have to overcome the many dangers of Venus. Venus's has a planet "surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit" with a "atomspheric pressure is 90 times more greater than what we experience on our" planet. Venus being second planet from the sun, "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though that Mercury is closer to" the sun than Venus. NASA has an idea that might be "possible solutions to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus" is like a "blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." A "vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions" and "at thirty-plus miles above the surface, tempertures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees fahrenheit" and "air pressure would be close to that of sea levels on earth."
Then scientise have to find a way to make their machine last longer.
Do to how the temperatures on Venus are "800 degrees" and the machine would be melting to the that kind of heat. NASA is working on a solution to that problem by testing different type of meltal like a "electronics made from silicon" have lasted three weeks in a "simulation of the chaos of Venus's surfaces." NASA have also look into "old technology called mechanical computers." "These devices make calculations by using gears and leavers and do not require electronics at all", so they would better for the suface of Venus.
Scientise need to Find a way to over come the challenging planet for humans studys. "Each misson to Venus ways unmanned, and for good reason." Since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. This could be the issue "why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." An there are "numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, dispite its proximity to us."
In conclusion Venus has many problem that contribute to the planet being challenging for human's studys. It is worthy striving to meet the challenge that has presented it self by Venus. "Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also becuase human couriosity will lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." | 3 |
4433232 | This is an essay about Venus. In this essay I am going to tell you about the Venus an is it worth pursuit despite all the dangers. Venus is to me is yes it is worth pursuiting despite all of its dangers to the human life form. I belive this cause how are we ever going to know the truth if we don't go and find it out for ourselfs. We have to go out there an look for ourself so that we know what is out there. What really extist was there once life form on Venus. If so whendid they die or are they still there. See we will never uncover the truth if we dont break out of our shell and go exporing to the unknown we have to do it. Nobody esle is going to go out into space and find out what is really up in space.
We have our theory about other life out in space, of the once vallys, mountains and the carter on the surface of Venus so that we have our theory that once a long long time ago there once were a form of life on Venus. Now we have to think about how they lived, how they got their food, how they did all the thing sthat we as humans do but on a planet that has low gravit pulling you down. On Earth we have a greater about of gravit pull us down to the ground than Venus does. Earth has also more water than Venus does now, but what if that was to change . What if the planet Venus had more water than Earth. What if Venus and better things than Earth does. Then why did Venus died what had to happen to whipe out and whgole plant that had maybe life form of some sort and that we know had water and enough oxygen to have the livingh life form of some kind to kive there. So what did happen to the planet Venus. How did this onbce living planet now become with no life form of any kinds.
The only danger of this idea of going to the planet Venus is that what if they don't make it home. Whatif ther are other life form living on Venus still but we just dont know what they are or how they came about there are hunders of thing that we as human we have not yet discover. An maybe will never discover about how we got to where we are today. How we have got what we have today. These are thing that we may never truthy understand about where we came from. How we got to this day in time and how are we going to live these thing are unknown, till the end of time. | 2 |
443672b | If you using cars, you need to stop bruh! Cars are bad for the environment. Cars aren't as fresh as unicycles anyway. Cars are bad because it increases global warming, takes up too much space, and cost too much.
Who would want to see penguins fall into the water because the land they live on has melted? I do, but still it is not right. Cars make animals all over the world fall into the water because the land they are on is melting. One time i saw a history show that showed the ice melting and falling onto the sea. (Source 1) Anyways, whether you like it or not, that is a fact.
Cars are soo bulky and they have alot of mass. Thats right, I said it ! MASS! They make it harder to walk on the road. It looks like they are so big too! (Source 3) In ancient Greece, people used horses. Why cant we do that? Horses are alot skinnier than cars believe it or not. Also they dont need gasoline or electricity, they just need oatmeal or beans. Sometimes my horse eats its own feces also, which makes feeding it less of a hassle. (Source 2)
Last but leastly, cars are sooo freeckin expensive. Back in the days, cars used to cost like 500 dollars. (Source 5)Now they cost 5000 dollars for a used one. That is soo lame! Also, you have to pay alot of money. Sometimes you pay more money than the cost of your house. Now if you live in Lebron's house, that is ridiculous. Yes i like basketball by the way! Basketball cars cost the most money too.(Source 4) If you have seen limited edition sports cars, they cost up to 30,000! Who has the money for that kind of reckless spending. I can barely pay for my school lunch. I always asks my friends if they are done with what they are eating.
In conclusion, i would like to finish this essay with a great finale. I would like to end this writing now. This is where i finish off the essay with a splash. Now i will provide the resolution, or conclusion, to my essay. (Source: Brain) Here I will talk about why I am finishing the essay, and how i will finish the essay. First off: Shoutout to the Testing Company that picked m school. I got out of four of my classes today! I missed out on two tests that i have to make up before or after i celebrate Christmas! Thats awesome because now I have more work to do. Lasty, i would like to provide my conclusion. the end. (Source:Web) | 2 |
443c5e7 | the author described about the computer system. and the author wrote about Dr. Huang realies on the work of pshychologist, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). and Dr. Paul has classified six basic emotions-happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness-and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. the author wrote the fact of human. "For istance, you can probably tell how a friend feeling simply by the look on her face". and Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to thelp them paint facial muscles precisenly enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similiar anatomical information as electronic code. The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do. And the author wrote the definition and some examples of how imagne a computer can describes human feelings. The last thing is the Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them, Whoever thought that making faces could reveal so much about the science of emotions! | 1 |
443d4cc | This topic of Driverless Cars is amazing i've thought a lot about having a driverless car sometime in my future. I think is a good new invention that has been made. I think should be new laws the can limit certain driverless cars. And the fact that there will not be only one type of driverless cars but as other car manufacturers drive to build this great car will be awesome.
My biggest concern about these cars are the liability in the case of an accident. I do truly wonder if there is an accident between an driverless car and a regular car, who or what is to blame? The fact that the car has special touch sensors, what if there is a malfunction? But i do like that this car has speed sensors at the wheels antilock brakes.
Overall I am thinking that driverless cars are a good idea. With so many supporting qualities i think it is a safe car. I think over time there will be more advanced cars that take a new step at a time. I can't wait until 2020 when maybe Mercedes-Benz has an safe driverless car. | 2 |
4442f3c | Have you ever wondered what students are emotionally expressing? Well now a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System are trying to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom. Do you think the use of this technology is valuable? A new piece of technology is coming out called the Facial Coding System it enables computers to identify human emotions.
A piece of technology that enables computers to identify human emotions is called the Facial Action Coding System. I think the technology is valuble because so that the teachers and students now what each other is feeling. To backup my claim it says in the text " Most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc."
Which means that the technology is valuble so that you don't have to describe it will tell you.
I think that the techology called the Facial Action Coding System would be valuable because it could help with communication so they know if you are sad, happy, etc. In the text it states that " Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication." Which means that most communication is non talking just by emotion.
Finally, my last reason I think that the new technology called Facial Action Coding System is valuable is because it helps produce your facial muscles. In the text it states " According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them". Which means that the technology helps produce your facial muscles.
All in all the technology called the Facial Action Coding System is valuable in many ways. By the facial muscles, the nonverbal communication, and how the students are feeling. There are also many ways to back it up. The Facial Action Coding System is reading the emotional expressions of students. | 3 |
4446626 | Venus is the most dangerous planet for humans venus we can be fasinated by things that people discover and share with others . The most challenging clouds highly corrosiive sulfuric acid in venus atmophere.
The author uses theory to assure that we can learn more about the planet and the things they have like what kind of rocks they.
Throughtout the planet venus the most dangerous planet for humans to live on no animals would survive the conditions venus is in. Venus is important to study for if its still safe for humans to live and how long we can live for," The national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the roiling Venuisan landscape . That NASA wants to have scientist go to venus and study the planet in the air but not on the ground just floading in the hostile weather condiitions. Another example of why the author wants pursuit Venus despite the dangers presents. Having enough energy can help scientist understand that venus has a higher temperature to that would effect humans not neeeding radiation for earth,"
At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to the sea level on earth. Solar power would be plentiful and radiation woukd not exceed earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable survivable for humans . That since Venus temperature is higher but has plenty of solar power humans can survive despite how badly the conditions are in.
Secondly The author uses explanation and theory to persuade the readers how we can still explore the planet carefully.
Scientist are willing to study Venus for to test samples of the planet," More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges. Scientist want to study things but can't to risk everything to have samples and challenge their selves on this journey understand what kind of species live their. Venus is our sister planet from earth why its so inhospitablethat we new for so long, " 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 coverd largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life,
Just like earth. Wondering what if Venus has still have the features of having land water animals from a long time ago.
Finally scientist are coming up with ideas that can help thrmj get samples that they need striving to meet the challenges presented, For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. Having robotice go first collecting samples for three weeks that can last that long on the planet so scientist can study it from their labs. Another study is that they are looking at other options for robotics to last longer than three weeks,"
Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanucal computers these devices were first envisioned in the 1800's and played an important role in the 1940s during World War 2 these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. That a group of scientist are looking at technology leading back in 1800s because using the old might help because it doen't envolve electronics when using computers today it more delicate when it comes dangerous conditions.
The author is write they should pursuit Venus despit how dangerous it is good thing to have a risk at. Something having exploreing something new and dangeours even though it comes at a cost of things we can go back look at old technology thst can help us get the things we need. | 3 |
44497d4 | Traveling to Venus is a dangous task.
Even with the right equipment and gear the atmosher of Venus still might not be safe.
Scientists have been looking into going to Venus.
It has been proven that it is not safe to be on it or near the surface of the plant.
A group of scientist from NASA are looking into inhabiting Venus.
They are sending ships that nobody is on to collect data, but unfortulnlly that ships only lasted a few hours on the planet.
With scientists wanting to send people to Venus to collect data, is a little obsvered in the matter.
The atmospher is not safe even if they are not on the suface of the planet.
This might take years to compelte, but it will take to much of our time to explore and inhabit planets that we can handle.
If there are no more of the planets then we could go to Venus, but we should explore others first to see if they are more suitable for people to live on. | 2 |
444a92b | There are many advantages of limiting car use. The advantages are less pollution, less stress, and benenifical implications for carbon emissions and the environment. These advantages are good for the earth and they benifit us as a people.
The first advantage is less pollution. If the cars were limited then, there would not be fumes polluting our air. Cars run on gas which produces smoke from the mufler. Then when you drive around, the fumes and smoke comes out of the mufler and goes into the air. Therefore, it pollutes the air. With cars being limited, then we would have a better earth. To be specific, our nature would be better. But there are more advantages then just less pollution.
The second advantage is less stress. You see, in the first article Heidrun Walter says," When I had a car I was always tense. I'm so much happier this way." She was was happy because she sold his car and moved into a car free community. It says also in the first article that," As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here". It says that," Vauban completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called " smart planning."
The third advantage is beneficial implicattions for carbon emissions and the environment. In the fourth passage, Michael Sivak says," What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household started to come down two to three years before downturn. I think that means more fundamental is going on." The article says, " if the pattern persists-and many sociologists believe it will-it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emission."
The many advantages of limiting car usage: less pollution, less stress, and benenificial implications for carbon emissions and the environment. Thoughs things are the benifits of limiting car usage. it says in the article that," With all these changes, people who stopped car commuting as a result of the recession may find less reason to resume the habbit." | 3 |
444b132 | why studing venus is a valiable and worth while disition. studing venus can give us an idea of other planet habitation if we can come up with the traval. taraforming the planit to fit are needs more might be another problum for another time but if solved than it will be simple to inhabit it.
"venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet" if we can get around this with the info we gather it will put us forwerd in traviling to other plants for habitation.
"venusian geoligy'powerful earth quakes 'and frequent lightning strikes" while this will be a problume to deal with but if we can solve the resone for the whether than we can figher a way to conter it by fixing the problume and macking it habitable.
"systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure heat and other forces" by getting info thew this we can mack it give valuable info to what we can do to get a better understanding on what the planet is like to be able to tarraform it to better conditions
so in conclosion i think we move past the danger and find a way to get peaple on other planet for the sake of expanding what resorces we have we may find rare ors that are common there like we may find tons of maby gems under the surfec | 2 |
4451061 | They say driverless cars are coming, would that really be nice. Driverless cars are very dangerous to the people. They could cause alot of damage to other people in the surronding area. Alot of people are looking foward to driver less cars, but this could be dangerous because we are not in control of the vehicle.
Clearly, I would very much dislike the idea of having driverless cars around. They are a danger to the society becuase we are not in control of the machine. Thay could also maybe cause alot of accidents. Also, they could vary at very high prices. people wouldnt have the money to pay off these nice machines. Thats why we shouldnt have these machines .
Furthermore, How much would we be paying to make these machines? We would be paying lots of money for people to build these machines. Would they be made here in the U.S? or would they be made somewhere else arounfd the planet ? Lots of money would be lost here.
Then, What fuel would we be using? Would we be using regular fuel or maybe the vehicle would be running on electricty? Maybe We would need to use both electricity and gasoline.
In conclusion, driverless cars are a danger to us and a danger in our society. They shouldnt be built because that would kill all of the fun in driving as well. People enjoy driving places. A lot of people could end up hurt too. The car could mouthfuncton and crash somewhere. The producers of these cars would end up getting sued and they would lose alot of money. Money that could of been used to bulid schools and churches. Many people would not be happy. Thats why I believe driverless cars should not be built. | 3 |
44512d0 | You may belive that it was aliens that created this "face" on mars, Where is your proof to support that eveidence? The face could just be a natural landform like many other things like we have found out about. Whats your proof that its aliens, Becasue when we have circled the rest of the planet we have not found civilizations or colonies of alien life. For instensts a metior could have just hit the planet in that spot leaving a mark that looked like a human face leaving you to belive this. There could be aliens out there but there is no proof that we have them in our universe yet, There are many diffrent reasons why there could be natrual causes as to why it would look like there is a face on the planet.
Mars has clouds around its planet and other planets do that may be where aliens hide and have there villiages. You beliveing in them could be correct but also wrong at the same time. We just dont know what could have caused that face on mars aliens, natural formation, crator. You maybe belive this because even the scientist have gotten the false imput that they were real and that this was a aien artifact. We jsut have no evidence proveing wether or not this is an alien artifact or its just a natual landform. | 2 |
4455bef | Hello,I am an astronomer at NASA. I am here to discuss that the "face" discovored in Mars is FAKE.
My reason that the "face" discovered in Mars is fake because the area where the "face" was discovored (Cydonia) has stroms their a lot and snow. So, there is a possibility that it was huge landform and the weather wore off the the landform to the point where it was a face. About a month ago we have released the picture in a JPL web site, revealing that the "face" is just another landform.
As of right now we are trying to look at the "face" to look and conclude it is another Landform and not "aliens". we have also found that the landmass is the bottleneck of a volcano so maybe in a few years it will erupt and prove that it's not a face.
Yes, we have made history by taking one little picture that we can't even look at it. If you wanna look at the "face" just look up these coordinates. 41 degrees north martian latitude. maybe you will see it as a landform and not a face.
This the astronomer at NASA, and this me proving that this landform is not a "face". thank you for your time to reading this and goodbye. By the way it is a mesa. | 3 |
44567d5 | Facial expressions have been our way of communicating without talking. Its a silent way of showing how you feel about something or someone. Knowing what expressions are being shown towards an action you do is important. If you yell at someone, they might make an angry or upset face. After seeing that expression, most people will most likely never repeat that action again. In class rooms its hard sometimes as a teacher to teach and notice if everyone is catching along or if the subject is too boring. Having this new technology used to read students expressions is a valuable tool because it lets teachers know if they should continue or stop and help students out.
Many of us have been in the situation were your in class and it is boring. The class feels like 3 hours long and the teacher is into their subject and just does not stop talking. They do not switch things up and not many kids are paying any attention at all. With the help of this technology, which reads students facial expression, it can let teachers know its time to switch things up or move on.
The next class might be much easier to get through and maybe towards the end, be your favorite. Teachers and professors will see what students like best and what they find interesting and develope new and better strategies; or computors will just as Dr. Huang predicts in the 6th paragraph, "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human intructor.
Many students also struggle in school. " A classroom computor could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Students tend to try and be independent or just don't want to ask for help in fear of being made fun of. In some cases many students are confused but refuse to ask for help. With the detector, teachers could ask students if they need help or what they are not understand in class. All helping to prevent students from getting lost or struggling in any subject. Teachers could be doing a better job by understanding the students, and the students too,would feel better knowing that someone knows what they need help in and is coming up with a better teaching plan.
Technology is advancing more and more each day. In no time, we will improve schools and work areas. The way we communicate will better and the way we read expressions will too. As said in paragraph 8 "to an expert, faces don't lie: these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isnt being truthful"; the same could be applied to students. Facial expressions are important. With these computors or devices put in every class room, students will soon be performing at their top best. Soon enought the decives will be used in work areas, while texting and more. | 4 |
4456d26 | Cars have been by all means the number one way of transportation in the last decade and now people are starting to prefer walking or biking instead of driving everywhere. One of the reasons is pollution people all around the world are scared of the greenhouse effect but peole are moslty looking at the advantages in not driving If we dont drive the earth will be less polluted in the united states the number two cause in pollution is cars if we cut our driving in half we would be making our earth less polluted and more clean and also saving our ozone layer another reason that not driving isnt such a nad thing is you dont have to deal with the gas money everyone spends on there car well if you want to drive you have to put gas in it so it can go and sometimes the gas prices can be up there an if i gave my estimate i think people spend close 20,000 dollars in gas if your driving in your community of course im not talking about every person in the world just giving an estimate and that is alot of money if you save that much money in about 4 years you have your self a house or an apratment its a big difference spending all that money on gas then saving up for something you really want like a house apartment etc something else you dont have to deal with is the traffic that cars cause on the higway and sometimes in the community i know we all have been stuck in a horrible traffic jam and you cant do anything about it and we all think if only we could just walk ny everybody well the people that arnet driving and they are on the sidewalk yeah they can walk past it or they dont have to deal with the traffic jam another reason is a the accidents sometimes can be fatal to life and your checkbook and insurance now a days is through the roof another thing you have to worry about paying when your dealing with a car accidents take alot of lives every year i read a stat that every second there are three acidents i mean i dont know if its true but if it is that is flat out scary of course you never think it will happen to you but even the best drivers crash and when it does happen either your life is in danger or checkbook is thats another thing walkers and bikers dont have to worry about crashing and either being seriously injured or coughing thousnads of dollars of expensies or damages also have to worry about keeping your car in the shop every time you need an oil change or your tires are flat or transmisson isnt working right there can be a millon problems with your car and that all cost money waling to your destantion doesnt cost a cent and if your the person that likes to save every cent why throw it away when you throwing thousands and thousands of dollars every year on something youn quite francally dont need in your life if your destnation is to walk take the bus close enough so you can walk there that way you will be saving so much money that you'l be amazed at the end of the year when you have way more money than you had last year your going to look back and say wow i should never got a car so always keep in mind the next time you step in your car the worries you deal with every time you drive remember ypu have to fill up or your not going any where and always going to hurt your checkbook espiacally if your car gets 10 per a gallon another thing is the scare of the accident always looming in the dark you never know when you'll have but almost everyone is doomed to have one and those can be fatal to your body or checkbook and insureance for when it does happen is not pretty also those traffic jams are horrible and when you say aabout 50 peole all past you on the side walk and your stuck in that massive traffic jam you'll remeber this essay and say wow i should of been on that side walk and the last advantge you should know about is that while your not driving your not hurting everyones earth world air space etc your helping the earth get cleaner everytime you decide to walk instead pump up your gas tank and let off polluted gas off into the air and ulitamelty deplete the ozone i know that people will still be driving because again like i said its the number one way of transportation but the goal should be to atleast cut the driving rate in half that would help the earth in a major way and of course you would be alot richer by the end of the year so all that walking you did over the year you can rechoice over a nice vaction to the bahmamas or hawaii oe even buy yourself a nice house so you can see that dropping your car should of been a decison you did years ago and the earth will be a better place without your car driving around the streets so the next time your friend asks to come over just walk or the next time you need to just go get the groroices you can walk and one by one peole will stop driving and start helping making the earth a better cleaner safer place so you be the first one to drop driving and start walking and people will follow imsure of it and even if you have to explain the benfits so beit just know by doing those things you will acheive the goal of making the earth a better place without pollution and more ozone layer to protect from the dangerous uv light if you want a better future for your kid or grandchild its just not your earth your hurting its everybody else's including your loved ones all that money your spending buy your loved ones a gift. | 2 |
4458086 | Although numerous amounts of people want to banish the Electoral College, there are more rights than wrongs about it. The Electoral College is in the Constitution for an enormous reason; it is a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and popular vote of qualified citizens. This process allows for the people of the nation to have a say and for the elected people of each state to speak even louder for their state. The Electoral College is despised, yet it is the smartest way on how to elect the President.
The Electoral College requires for a president to have trans-regional appeal. For example, Romney was a solid favorite in the South, but he cannot win with only the votes from the South because no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. While Romney did not have to campaign much for the South, he had to campaign very heavily in the North to increase his chances of election in those states. This is an amazing result because the people want a president that is liked throughout the nation, so while he is president he can be a hugely successful one. Canidates mainly focus on swing states, and dont have a lot of time for states they know they are going to win or lose; however, voters in swing states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign knowing they are the ones to decide the election. These voters in swing states are averagely the most thoughtful voters, and the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election.
Furthermore, the Electoral College should be kept because it almost always goes in favor of the people. Even though in the 2000 election Al Gore got the popular vote but George W. Busch won the electoral votes, that has not happened since 1888! The party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee and that trust is rarely betrayed. Many people want to change the election for the President to popular vote, but it would be more likely to have a dispute over the popular vote than in the elctoral college. Also, there could be a tie in the nationwide electoral vote because the total number of votes is an even number, but it is tremendously unlikely given that there has never been a tie. Also, the Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no canidate receives a majority of the voter's cast.
The Electoral College can be argued to repel potential voters for a canidate who has no hope of carrying their state, for example, republicans in California; on the other hand, every voter's vote plays a big part to their state's electoral vote. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. The Electoral College has worked for more than a century and will keep on working if the people of the nation agree to work with it. | 4 |
445c11a | In this article " The Challenge of Exploring venus." By the author. The author taking about the venus. Venus is panet in the sky. Venus also called the " evening star" is one of the brightest point of the light in the night. Venus is the closet planet to the earth. In solr system, venus is the second planet from the sun. A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets vens. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. Venus has high pressure and heat.
Venus geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes. Venus has a surface of rock sediment and insludes familiar features valleys, mountains, craters. Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit. Venus solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed earth levels. Not eay conditions, but survivable for humans.
sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus. Because venus is sometimes right around the corner in space. Venus was covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like eath. Venus has still features that are analogous to those on earth. In the sky different types of planet. Maybe there are ten planet in the sky. Earth is the fourth planet in the sky. Venus has Maybe 2 solar system. Venus close to the earth. | 1 |
445fe77 | The face on Mars is created by aliens! I don't think the face on Mars was created by aliens. People are arguing over wether alien life form is on Mars. I think the face was created over time by the changes of the surface of Mars. The physical features of the face has changed over the years.
Wether people think that aliens created the faces, NASA is trying to figure out what is creating this face. Is it alien life form, is it the changes of the planet. We may never know until we arive on Mars in human presents.
Why do people beleive what others say, beleive what you think its is. scientests beleive that aliens on Mars that created the man. Why do you think so Scientest? Do you all beleive in everything you come up with. The man on mars could be where a meteore hit and it was froze over.
I don't think their is alien life form out their in space, or the other galaxies around us. i think we the humans, animals, pants and etc. species, are the only ones out there in the universe. So there is no one that created the man on Mars, it was only God that created the man on Mars. This is my opion about the man on Mars. | 2 |
4465999 | Dear state senator,
I believe that the United States election should be changed to popularity vote. wouldnt that be easier than a Electoral College? I beleive so and i bet many others also believe that a popularity vote is way better. I stongrly encourage a(n) Popular vote becuase its easier, less complicated, and faster.
Dont you think a popular vote would make it way easier for not just the fellow citizens of America but for you guys? I believe that this would be a great change not for the bad but for the good. The popular vote all you have to do is count and state who had more and bam! its that easy! Its just 123 and your done. Isnt that much easier? Not a long process or any of that. imagine just voting once for the president and being done with all that?
Wouldnt having a popular vote be less complicated? you wouldnt have to do the state elector or have any more requirements. All you have to do is whoever has more wins! also in the Elecoral College the voters dont even vote for the president but for a slate of electors?? what is that nonsense? shouldnt citizens have the freedom of voting for who they want as president? I thought this was the land of the free? How would bigger states have a voice if it was the same as the smaller ones?
Dont you believe that a popular vote would also be a faster way of the elections? its just 123. Electing electors to vote for you just takes way to long. By the time your done with that you couldve been done with the presidential elections if you wouldve just had a popularity vote from the start. Everything you do is based on time so wouldnt it just be easier for everyone to vote and boom! its all over. Its not just faster for us but for y'all also. | 3 |
4465d4c | The face on Mars is just a natural landform and not created by aliens. In paragraph one it says nasa Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet snapping photos of possible landing sistes for its sister ship Viking 2 when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face.In paragraph three it says it had a mouth;nose;eyes;and a resembles of a human head.
Second: Aliens did not create the face. When the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time they was snapping pictures they said there was no aliens monument after all. How would aliens make a humand face on mars. Thats crazy because aliens do not exsist.
Inconclusion: the face was ca landform because as you can tell by the pictures it was a landform.It shows the face it showes how the face is getting coved up as the years pass by then it just show how the face is gone. Thats how i know the face was just a landform. | 2 |

4467522 | The face on the planet is just a weird land marking. It was not made by aliens it was only just luck that it was there.
The face that you think is there is just from the land was or an astroid
It it was made by aliens there wouldn't just one face on the planet.
The aliens didn't know what we look like or what a Egypion Pharaoh would look like.
Why would the aliens just make the face and not the body too.
When Michael Malin went up to take a picture of the the face they got a sharper snap for the picture.
There was no alien monuments or landforms for the aliens.
The people who want the face to be made by aliens are not very smart.
If there are aliens and they find out who is watching and trying see if they are real, might come here to hurt or kill us.
If we do find what do you think will happen, we "hi we are from earth we are the ones who spy on you".
First they proubly won't know what we are saying.
And they will most likely want to kill us.
What we found was just a land marking that isn't something to we should mess with.
What you saw was just a land marking that means nothing.
There are no such things as aliens, and if there are such things as aliens we should just leave them alone. | 2 |
4469515 | I think the driverless car is a good idea and I would approve if someone where to ask me.
I think that having a driverless cars would be good idea for people whose job requires a car to get them from place to place. For example in the first paragragh it states "The cars he forsees would use half of the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world." That tells you that those taxi and bus rides would be almost safer and less fuel costing.
Driverless cars are safer than actual cars with humans driving them. Because there are over a hundred wrecks a day, and with the help of the driverless car that number can go down. If the number of crashes go down with some driverless cars, then they can sell them to people who wants them and make the roads safer for everyone. In paragragh two it states that "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars has driven more than half a million miles without a crash."That alone tells you that the cars drive better without the full control of the human.
These cars can change the world that we live in today. Because instead of hit and runs the cars would actually stay there if there is a wreck. You wouldn't have to worry about someone being hit by a car, because the car drives by itself. There would be no more people falling asleep behind the wheel and getting into a wreck. Because the car can sence when it's about to wreck and stop itself.
"While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver." | 3 |
4469cc3 | Populare Vote For The Win
The Electoral College has so much room for error. When you vote, you dont vote for a president, instead you're voting for a slate of electors. Electors can defy the people, it isnt rational, and it just simply isnt fair to voters.
When you go in to vote, you really arent voting for a president. Instead you are voting for a slate of electors who will then go a vote for the president. A state can choose their electors differently. Some are party centeral and some are not.
The states legislatures are held accountible for the electors that are picked. Those electors can defy the people and choose whomever they please. "Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy.(So that a populare vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kennedy.)" - What Is the Electoral College?
The electoral college can be considered an anarchroism. That is very un-democratic. We should keep things as fair as possible. Many people want to have a popular vote so that they are counted and heard. "House's selection can hardley be expected to reflect the will of the people." - The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong.
In conclusion, the electoral college should be abolished. Its not fair, rational, or smart, so why is it still around? We should get rid of it as soon as possible. | 3 |
44730c2 | The author fully supports the idea of Venus being a worthy pursuit because of new technology and innovation.
There are many things to consider though.
The simularities between the two planets, the dangers of Venus, and why scientists are so amazed by Venus.
This means that pursuing Venus is a challenge.
The simularities between Venus and Earth are the size.
In paragraph 2 the text states that Venus is the closest planet to Earth in size and density, also the closest planet in distance too.
We are closer to Mars and other times Venus.
Because of the different speeds.
This means that Venus is close so it won't be a long trip.
The dangers of Venus that are harmful to humans.
In paragraph 3 the text states "Venus has a thick atmosphere made up of 95% of carbon dioxide.
The clouds contain corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere."
The average temperature is over 800 degrees Farhenheit.
The average temperature is 90 times greater than Earth.
These conditions are beyond what we experience on Earth.
This means that Venus is uninhabitable compared to Earth.
Reasons why scientists are impressed by Venus.
In paragraph 4 and 5 the text states "astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it was the most Earth like planet."
Long ago Venus was filled with oceans, mountains, and creatures.
This means that scientists have things to consider before going to Venus and things to understand before going again.
This concludes that pursuing Venus is a challenge for everyone who wants to know more about it because of its dangers conditions, the scientist's fascinations about what life is like to be on Venus, and the simularities to Venus and Earth.
This means that we have a long way to go before we really see how it is on Venus. | 3 |
4474e71 | People that think that the face was created by alliens think that beacuase they probably heard that from someone else or someone told them without having any real facts. But if we go into more details i remember once i read/seen something about that there might be some alliens out there in space. The face of the earth was created by natrual landform as NASA has said. On May 24,2001 a spacecraft was circling around when they fount a shadowy figure like a human face! The thing is how will we ever know the real truth behind that. Yeah i know people tell us differnt things but how will we know witch one to belive out of all them. We obviosly have to belive NASA because they are the ones that go up there often and let us know if there is anything new up there. Its not like we can go up there anytime we want and cheke for ourselfs! The bad thing is that we will never find out for our ownselfs but thats just the way things are! | 1 |
