823960d | The Face is on Mars, Im a Scientist at NASA and, I can tell you that the Face is no Alien artifact. It is a landform of its own just like our Earth makes its own landforms like lakes, rivers, hills, ect. This Face had became a big pop icon. It started in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio and even talk shows. Some people think the Face is bona find evidence of life on Mars.
"Huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." This illusion is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude. The so called "face" is not a face it is not a alien monument artifact at all this is just made by the plant.
Some scientists beliveved the Face was an alien artifact. Latter of they founded out that it was not. When up an took a better photoghraph of the "face". What the picture actuallshws is the Martian equivalant of a butte or mesa-landforms. The landform is just a landfor nothing special to it at all. The "face" is just an illusion. | 2 |
823a2a2 | Driverless cars are an ineviatable result of advancements in technology. It has been estimated that within the next 30 years, most cars in the world will be self operated. The idea of a driverless car sounds absurd to some, but driverless cars might be better that modern cars. Driverless cars are an amazing invention that will revolutionize the world.
Diverless cars will be safer that regular cars. When diverless cars advance to the point that they can operate without human intervention, the cars will opperate without error. Humans are imperfect. No human has perfect judgement. A computer program running the car will make less errors that a human.
Driverless cars will be cheaper than modern cars. As our techology advances, the cost of new technology will decrease. In the aticle, It is mentioned that a radar small enough to fit in a car cost two hundred million dollars. A radar today costs a fraction of that. Since techology is advancing, previously new techologies are becoming cheaper. This will make driverless cars more affordable.
Driverless cars will be cleaner that modern cars. The technology withing the car will allow it to plan the most fuel efficient routes and use less fuel. this will lead to a smaller carbon footprint per car. A smaller carbon footprint per car will drasticaly lower the total carbon emmisions of the world.
Driverless cars will be a reality within a few years. The potential for errorless, clean, and cheap alternatives to modern cars is something we should strive for. With driverless cars, that future is not so much a concept, but an inevitable reality that will change the world for the better. | 3 |
823b228 | Lets see here the face is a landform or a creation by some species on Mars. Well were gonnna find out what it really is today. A lot of us would really like to believe that there are aliens or other species on Mars wouldn't we and then this face comes along and evryone is wondering if there are really any aliens. Well unforationatly we don't know right now because its really difficult to tell. A lot us think that its just a landform and thats all we know at the moment.
The so called face on Mars is just a landform for all we know at the moment and we think thats all it really is. The face is a landform because if you look at the pictures in 2001 what you see isn't a face at all its just a rock coming out of the ground. Like we said we aren't sure if there isnt any life form on Mars yet becuase we just can't watch it 24/7 now can we. We think that this is a landform because we don't have enough evidence to actually tell you but it our hopes hopes up for now. Like what everyone thinks they think it's fake becuase the don't want to know bout space unless they really wanted to and thats okay we will be the only ones that really know won't we. Plus we say that it's just in the region Cydonia which there are a lot of landforms there so we can't tell that either.
In conclusion we would like to think that this isn't just really a landform we want it to mean more. We want everyone to know that we think that there is life on Mars and that this has helped us and that it continues to help us as we continue our search for life and as we go down to see that if there are any man made marks on there but you just can't tell from a picture. At the moment this is just a landform surronded by craters and other landforms. We are telling you this it is just a landform. | 2 |
823c49c | Driverless cars are new, advanced forms of technology. Manufacturers seem to be getting closer and closer to an improved and completely driverless car. They have different advantages and are very convenient. This may be the new innovation that everyone raves about. I think having driverless cars is a great idea and a huge milestone.
Driverless cars have come a long way, and sensors have become more advanced with time. The sensors can now detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers. This is very beneficial to the driver because he or she may not know how to respond or react to these kinds of dangerous situations. The sensors enable the car to apply brakes on the seperate wheels and decrease the power from the engine, which allows a better responce and more control than the human driver could manage. More improvements on this technology will bring safer and more durable cars, which will increase the number of driving taskes on their own.
Even though most cars aren't completely driverless, many improvements and innovations allow the driverless cars to evolve and become more intriguing. For example, BMW developed the "Traffic Jam Assistant." This car could handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph. This car also had special touch sensors to ensure the driver holds onto the wheel. Having cars that aren't fully driverless allows the driver to remain alert, so they can take over when there is a situation. This is a great thing about these cars. There are driver seats that vibrate when the car is in danger of backing into something. The Google car announces when the driver should take over. Other cars might have flashing lights or other signals that warn the driver to take control of the vehicle.
Driverless cars have come a long way and are still in the process of being perfected. New, developed features have different advantages such as the advanced sensors that repsond to dangerous situations and the signals that allow the reader to remain alert. Overall, I think that driverless cars are a major innovation and can be very effectful and beneficial for drivers. | 4 |
823ca1e | Given all the facts about driverless cars, I still think driverless cars should not be a future technology. They are too costly, mostly require the driver to maintain contact with the wheel and in the case of an accident, who would be the cause of it?
"Driverless cars" is a broad term. Mostly because all the current driverless cars require the driver to maintain contact with the steering wheel and stay alert at all times. Not only that but the cars can only "handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph," which is not that fast. This is why the term :Driverless Cars" should be renamed to "Assisted Driving Cars."
Another thing to consider is the cost of all this. One fact is that "in the late 1950's, General Motors created a concept car that would run on a special test track." Even though the roads worked and did what they were supposed to, having to upgrade every road to have that feature was unquestionably exspensive. So that never happened and everyone decided it was time to move away from the roads and go into the cars themselves, via making them driverless.
Last but not least is the accidents. Accidents happen every now and then, but even though the cars are banned in most states and they have only driven "more than half a million miles without a crash," a crash would most likely happen if the cars were sold commercially. But in the case of an accident, who would take the blame? The Driver or the Manufacturer? I believe it would be the driverless car fault.
In conclusion, I wouldn't want cars to be on the road driverless, because the money,time and resources needed to do that. | 3 |
8241d9b | Do you want to be able to feel more safe while you are in the car? If you answered yes, then you might want a car that can senses all the dangers that's surrounding you before you can. Car is a great transportation to go to places, so it's important that you are safe while you're in the car. Diverless cars are being develop; driverless cars are cars that can drive itself without you touching the steeling wheel.
While you are in a car, it is important that you're safe from all dangers that is surrounding you.Most cars company are developing driverless cars, meaning that the car can drives itself without you even touching the steeling
wheel. Almost every cars have safety featers. For example, in paragraph 4 it said, "Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor." All these sensors will help you be more safe while you are in the car.
Another good thing about driverless cars in the furture is that the car would use half the fuel of today's taxi system and offer far more flexibility than a bus. Another good reason to have driverless cars in the furture is that, say that you are going on a vaction and you are driving about 4-5 hours, but you don't want to take a rest before you would slow down the time of getting there; so by having a driverless car, you can set the car to drives itself while you can relex and rest for a bit. After you got some rest and feel better, you can set the driverlss mode off and you continued driving.
Cars that can detect dangers before you can it's important feater to have. In paragraph 7 it said that " In 2013, BMW announed the development of " Traffic Jam Assistatn." The car handle drivong functions at speeds up tp 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." this means that the car will help the driver focus on the road. Also in paragraph 7 it said that " They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves." meaning that if you are not paying attention the car can stop itself before an accident happens.
So yes developing driverless cars is a good idea in the future. It has a lot of safety featers that can help to stop an accident before it happens. it's important that you are safe while you are in the car. Most of cars company is developing cars that can drives itself without you even touching the steeling wheel. | 4 |
824469b | I personally dont think these cars are a good ideas. Simply beacuse they arent completely driveless and the car might have some problems and cause someones life. These cars are just a bad idea , these cars are going to make teenagers and young adults think its ok to text and drive , but its not even if you ave a driveless car , in the passage it said that they are not completely driveless cars , when the car want the driver to take over its going to give some type of signal to the driver to take over , and the drive may not be prepares to take over. If it was an regular car you wouldnt have to worry about having to take over the acr because you wil already have control. Some may think the cars are a cool idea until someone get hurt. These cars are basically a set up , 12 , 13 ,14 ,15 year olds are going to think its ok to play in their parentes car because it SAYS its driveless and hurt themselves when its time to take over the wheel. Another reason i disagree with the cars is because people arent going to be paying attetion to the road , their going to be either texting , messing with things or people in the backseat , or just not paying attention to the roads and when its time for them to take over , something bad is going to happen. In the passgae it said " If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" That right there shows that if someone do get hurt the maunufacturers are going to try to blame it on the driver but all along its the manufacturer fault because ther technology failed an caused an accident. I just dont think these cars are an good idea , it sounds cool and all but when you think about it its an dangerous idea to have a car that is driveless , but you still have to be ready to take over ther wheel whenever the car signals you too. | 4 |
824682f | Dear, senator
I believe we should start using the popular vote method. I like this method its mostly the peoples vote getting credit and not the elector's. So whoever were in a election with the popular it would because of the peoples prefences.
In a election with popular vote the majority of the peoples vote will win. Which in sence makes it fair. In a electoral college every state gets its own number votes and thats the president and others are voted for today. The electoral college consist of 538 votes and need a majority of 270 for them to get heir winner. Also "under the 23rd amendment of the constitution, the district of coumbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purpose of the electoral college".
If oneday we adapt the popular vote the of this nation would be so satisfied with their vote because your is worth more in a sence. our states wouldn't have to have a certain number of votes they can have. The people will do the voting for them. sence the people will be doing the voting for them, whoever will have the majority of the people. on a side note you cant keep everyone happy. but there would be the majority happy.
In conclusion that's why i beleieve we go to the method of popular vote. The biggest portion of the people will be happy and there be a longer process in picking our next and future president sincerely, your boy a | 2 |
8248967 | Cars come in different colors, and are what we use to transport anything. Whether it a family going on vacation, going to work or going to school. With all of these possible benfits and more is what we gain from cars. We don't realize how cars really have an effect in our everyday changing world. That the moment we put the car key in to turn on the car we are creating are more hazordous world for the present time and the furture to come. By,limiting car usage in the world we can do many postive and beneficial things like in our atmosphere, becoming a independent person without the need of a car, and to be relive as oneself.
To begin with, pollution can be reduced like never ever before in are world named history. Pollution now in days is just terrible to have. It not just make it difficult for us to breathe but, as well it destroy the atmoshere that we need protect us from the harmful rays of the sun. The greenhouse effect can be lowered if we limit the use of cars. This can be actually proven with the following exert of the passage," And that experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." (Source #1) The point that I'm really trying to convey, is that we can do this all together if we limit the car usage. There should be a well and profounded effort to do so. Another example would be that if we dont limit the usage of cars we can not have a fresh and clear atmoshere. Can you imagine a day that you wake up to find, that all that was around you be nothing but a smog and prevent you to see and do anything? The car we have produce dangerous toxic that can up in are air and can be very hard for us later on. But if limit car usage, we can prevent this from happening. Not, just us but to other place in the world. This was what happen in France ,to prevent the usage for cars producin that smog they created an renforce day to prevent the use of car. Which lead to a shocking over turn of news. Like so in the following,"Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France" (Source #2) What I'm trying to inform once again is that we limit we can create a better fit living world to be in. This is one advantages that we can do as fellow citizens in our country
Which lead to me to my othe point, there is more that we have in advantage of limiting the usage of cars. It is a way of "smart planing" ourself as a community. We can live a more free caring world without the need of a car. Technology can play a part in the limit of of car usage. As stated in the folllowing "The Internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends." (Source #4)See this occur and happen this a will fitted advantage to us all. Another, advantage that we have in hand is the ability to relieve our stress level to a much stable level. which lead to me to my other insight of information, "When I had a car I was alwaystense. I'm much happier this way" said Heidrun Walter" (Source #1) Being in the car makes it complicated and diifficult. This is another way for us take advantage to limit the use of cars.
In conclusion, there are many advantegous for that we can benifit from that if we limit the use of care by lower pollution in are atmospher, creating a more benficial way for ouself without the need of a car, the relive of oneself. So, the next time you get on your car think is it reall a need to do so? | 4 |
8249055 | The author makes a claim by telling how venus is a worthy pursuit. If we went to go visit venus,we would learn everything about what lived or growed on venus. But,If you were to go,you would have to watch out for carbon dioxide blankets,and highly corrosive sulfuric acid. Also the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Venus also has the hottest has the surface tempature than any other planet in our solor system. Venus has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys,mountains,and craters. If you were able to see venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safetly far ablove the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere,rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. Striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value,not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself,but also because human curiosity will likelly lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. I thoink it would be a great idea to visit venus and find out things that happend on it a long time ago,but we need to get the right protection to visit venus before we examine it. | 2 |
824e4ae | You should join seagoing cowboys, because it is a great opportunity to travel and help others. I think it's a great time to not only care for yourself, but care for others. If you love animals this is a great job for you.
You should join, because your helping the people affected by World War II. I got to do a lot of stuff while I was on the boat. We got to take care of animals. It was a new thing for me. After we would drop off the animals we would have played baseball, volleyball, table-tennis tournements, fencing, and boxing.
That is why you should join the seagoing cowboys. This is a lifetime opportunity to do this. Don't miss out on this. It makes you aware of the other countries that have less than you or not enough to live on. It makes you grateful of what you have, because not everyone has a television or a cell phone. So it just makes you thankful of your surrondings. Then you can have exchange students because your out of your confornt zone. | 2 |
8256551 | I think the idea of being able to see other kids emotions or feelings from a computer is a bad idea. No one should know what the kid is going through unless that kid wants you to know he or she will tell you.
If the kid wants it to be private or can't tell anyone anything then they don't want others to know at all. If they are mad they shouldn't take it out on someone else. They could maybe ask a close friend or teacher or parent for help or ask them what they should do. He or she could be going through a lot at home or with grades or a bully that makes he or she mad. Parents need to ask there kids and wonder are they doing ok in school is everything alright if there kid is showing emotions for being mad or sad then they should be concerned. Most kids will be to scared to tell others cause they think they will get into trouble so they just stay quiet. Some kids take the pain out on there selfs and harm there selfs or worse. The kid shouldn't be asking what to do cause they are to scared. The guardian, teacher, friend or someone close should be asking them are you ok or im here for you then the kid will speak up and talk.
My opion on whether the computer should read kids expressions is no that's the parents job or guardian computers don't run are life's and the guardian should know if there kid is doing ok or not and help them instead of a computer helping them on there life situations. | 2 |
825c04c | Hey, this is Luke Bomberger and I think that you should become a Seagoing Cowboy! When I was a small boy my friend Don invited me to go to Europe. When I couldn't think of a reason to say no I went with him. I'm glad I did because if I hadn't I wouldn't ever have become a Seagoing Cowboy. You can have many things if you become a Seagoing Cowboy!
Instead of my service I became a Seagoing Cowboy and got animals across the sea safely. I washed them and cleaned them over and over but in all those chores I got to travel!
I got to see Europe, China, Greece, and Italy! I was a small town farm boy and then I got to see all of these places, all because I became a Seagoing Cowboy! You can become one too!
I'll admit that there are some dangers in becoming a Seagoing Cowboy. Once I almost fell overboard and broke my ribs! I wasn't able to do anything for the animals for a couple of days but they kept me company. Even though becoming a Seagoing Cowboy has its faults it overall is very exilerating and makes life an adventure! You can become a Seagoing Cowboy just like me!
If all that doesn't satisfy you, this will! When there are no animals aboard to take care of you can play games to pass the time. These games include baseball, volleyball, fencing, boxing, reading, and table tennis tournaments! When you are playing these games with all the other cowboys you tend to make cowboy friends almost immediatly! You can sign up right now to make new friends and play games with them!
All in all the Seagoing Cowboy experiance was the best experiance of my life. I hope that everyone gets the chance to have this experiance! You can have adventure to make you feel alive. You can have tourism to let you have experiance across the world. You can have games and new friends to keep you company and help you pass the time! You can have many things if you become a Seagoing Cowboy! | 3 |
825ec37 | Although you may think of your car as a necessity, there are many advantages to not being behind the wheel. Greenhouse gas emisions would decrease and promote alternative tansportaion are amoung those many.
As the majority of people learned in grade school, greenhouse gases aren't such a great thing and are even destroying the planet. Stepping away from your car could decrease the amount of these deadly gases we put into our atmosphere. in the first article Rosenthal says "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emmision in Europe, and up to 50 in some car-intensive areas in the United States." If the output is really that high and we stop using cars as much imagine the impact it could have if this happened world wide. in the second article Duffer was talking about how Paris had to ban cars because the smog, an effect of greenhouse gases, was too thick. towards the end he said that a few days of the car ban reduced the amount enough to where they could lift the ban. the smog was said to rival China's, and you see that on the news constantly so if only a few days made it significantly better then why can't we try it out?
Promoting alternative transportation could help local economies rise, and lower stress levels. "It's a good oportunity to take away stress and lower air polution" sais a business man participating in Bogata's car-free day. Participants in these events claim that they relieve stress and most people can see why, it's very hard to avoid stressful situations when you're driving. Whether it's the guy who cut you off or a slow old lady there is always something that will grind your gears. the executive chairman of the Ford company said that "in cities where vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable they would be able to create a network that would save time, conserve resources, lower emisions, and improve safety." If there are other sources of transportation available, why not take advantage of them?
Lowering our usage of cars we could keep our planet in good condition by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases and promoting alternative forms of trasportation which has benifits within itself. If there are other options the only problem I see is that you can't pick what radio station is on. | 4 |
8262ddf | Venus is one of the most intersting and eye cathhing planets known to Earth by scientist. It is considered the "twin" of planet Earth making it a very special planet in our solar system. Do not let that fool you though, even if it is called the "twin" of Earth it is still very different in many ways from our planet. In this essay I will be Discussing about the issues brought up by the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus." Is Venus really worth studying even despite the dangers it presents?
Venus is one of the closest planets to Earth. It is very simialr to Earth in both density and size too. Since Venus is so close compared to most planets around Earth humans have found alot of interest in the planet. Humans have sent many unmanned spacecrafts to Venus but none of the spacecrafts have survived the landing for more than a few hours. There are many reasons why is it challenging for us to make a succeful exploration for many reasons. Veus has a very thick atmosphere of aproxametly 97% carbon dioxide and with clourds of sulfuric acid. Another factor to consider is that it ha a temperature on the averages of 800 degress Fahrenheit and over with atmospheric pressure 90 times greater than which experinced here at Earth. The weather experienced in Venus is also very dangerous. There are many errupting volcanoes, very powerful earthquakes and lighting striking very frequent. These conditions make it almost impossible for Venus to sustane life and making explorations. With all of these very difficult situations to take in consideration the question is brought up agin. Many scientist have been thinking and discussing about more frequent visits but why? Well it is because as it says in paragrapgh 4 "Astonomers are facinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system". there are many theroies that Venus may have long ago been probably covered by large oceans and maybe could have ad a chance of supporting many various forms of life because Venus shows some features and characterisitcs alike those of Earth. Scientists from NASA have been brainstorming with ideas of how to make explorations to Venus possible and more likely to survive. Well an idea in paragrapgh 5 explains"Imagine a blimp-like vehcile hovering 30 or so milea above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vechicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfreindly ground conditions by staing up and out their way." This may seem like a good idea but it has its flaws. hovering over the clouds would make it difficult for them to collecet any rocks or anything to sudy and it would also be hard to view the floor and write descriptions of what has been seen.
Even though Venusis a very interesting planet and it shares alot of Earths characteristics I believe that there wasnt enough evidence to support the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. If there was actually ideas and details that would make it seem like it is possible for there to be a safe and sucessful exploration instead of ideas that have a slight chance of working I would have agreed. | 4 |
8274d3b | Dear Senator
The electoral college is not a fair way for citizens to vote in the untied states. the popular vote system would work at so much more better for citizen. It would give them more of a say in the vote and more people would vote
First reason I think popular vote is better than electoral college is because it gives citizen more of a say in what goes on in the voting process. the reason for this if the popular vote was the system they used you will be voting on a actual president. not voting for someone to pick your president for you. so this clearly shows that voting using the popular voting syste gives people more of a say in the voting process. yes it might be unfair to smaller states who have less people but still.
Second reason i picked this thing was because well more people would vote. the reason more peole would vote is because they will feel theyhave more of a say in things. for instance if someone told you you can have more freedom or none you will pick freedom. so clearly this shows that more people would vote if they we used the popular vote system instead of the other one. yes the other one still lets you vote but not for a president
So in conclusion popular vote is way better than regular voting because you have more freedom anf you vote for a actual president | 3 |
8276527 | Luke was a young adult who just graduated from high school and became a Seagoing Cowboy with his friend Don Reist. (Yeeha) Being a cowboy must be exciting for him I imagine. After World War II was over, many countries were in ruins. 44 nations picked in to help the countries and they needed Seagoing cowboys to help the animals that were stuck in sea, so Luke and Don signed up to help.
They found a bunch of horses first with a number of 335 horses and enough hay and oats to feed them. Luke made nine trips which was the most of any Seagoing Cowboy. "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town," Luke says. He toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama canal on his way to china.
It took a month to get to China, but they finally got there. Caring for the animals they rescued kept Luke busy. It was more than an adventure for Luke. It opened the world to him. | 1 |
8276f14 | The "Face on Mars" was not created by aliens and is just a natural landform because, the face was made by shadows from when the picture was taken.
Also, when Michael Malin and his crew took there photo on April 5, 1998 the picture was ten times sharper than the one the Viking took in 1976. Many people where not satified when the photo was tooken because it was winter in April '98 (a cloudy time of the year on the Red Planet) the camera on board MGS had too peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Skeptics say that the alien makings where hidden by haze from the clouds.
On April 8, 2001 (a cloudless summer day in Cydonia) Mars Global Surveyor took a closer look. Michal and his crew caputed an extraodinary photo using there camera's maximum resolution. If there was an object or objects in this picture you would be able too see them. The picture actually showed an equlevent picture of a nutte or mesa (which are landforms common around the American West).
That is why the Face on Mars was not created by aliens but simply just another landforms like the ones we have on Earth. | 2 |
827ac93 | Exploring planet Venus is difficult and dangerous. In the text it says that "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system". Astronomers have shown that Venos may have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system. Solar power would would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed levels. It wouldn't be easy but it would be survivable for humans. NASA wants to hover above Venos so it wouldn't be that dangerous going on the ground but that means they will be 30 miles above it. They can't reall get samples of rocks, gas, or anything because of how far away they are from planet Venus. NASA is alwso thinking about sending mechanical computers to the planet so they could see from the computers point of view. A mechanical computer was first made in the 1800's and they are very powerful and quick but could be really delicate to physical conditions. | 2 |
827b2fb | As a member of the Seagoing Cowboys program, I think it would be an excellent experience for others if they participate. They should join the program because it is a great learning experience. It would allow people to work hard while having fun. It would be a positive experience for those people.
First of all, it would give people experience working with animals. They would be able to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that are being shipped overseas. They would learn what it takes to keep the animals alive. Taking care of the animals would be a beneficial experience for those people.
Next, they would be traveling constantly and getting unbelievable opportunities. They would also be able to have some fun. They could have fun by sightseeing and playing games with the other members. It would be a mix between working hard and having fun.
Finally, they would learn about people in other countries and their needs after a war. They would be able to help those people by giving them animals, food supplies, and more. They would see what it is like to live in another country after a war. It would be a great experience for the newest members of the Seagoing Cowboys.
In conclusion, the people who join the Seagoing Cowboys would have a positive experience. They would be able to work with animals, take care of the animals, and learn what they need to survive. They would also be constantly traveling, and they would work hard and have some time to have fun. they would learn about people in other countries and their needs. They would be able to give those people the items they need to start living a normal life again, after a war has caused them to lose those items. Overall, joining the Seagoing Cowboys would be a positive experience for all the people who choose to. | 3 |
827c372 | "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change" (Rosenthal source 1) said Transportation of America official David Goldberg in Elisabeth Rosenthal's article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars." With air pollution, smog, and greenhouse gas emissions rising all around the world, officials have announced that cars are to blame. With this, many are resorting to making changes in their communities by offering alternate means of transportation and bringing homes and stores closer together. The advantages of limiting car usage include fuel will no longer pollute the air, alternate transportation is available and cheaper, and it would enforce goodwill and communionship.
To begin, a benifit of limiting our car usage is fuel pollutes the air by circulating green house gasses that can cause a dangerous enviroment to form and by limiting cars we limit this pollution. With President Obama's issue to decrease the amount of air pollution caused by cars, many have realized that car usage is not as common as it used to be. If the number of cars on the road continues to deplete- "and many sociologists believe it will-it will have benificial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants" (Rosenthal source 4) says Rosenthal in her article "The End of Car Culture." By keeping track and trying to deplete the time you spend driving your car the trend of putting air pollution to an end will increase.
Additionally, a benifit of limiting our car usage is being able to use the cheaper and more efficient alternate means of transportation. By using alternate means of transportation such as buses, trains, and car pooling services you are saving gas money and supporting community business'. There is a rise in car pooling that has "facilitated more flexable commuting arrangements, including the evolution of shared van services for getting to work" (Rosenthal source 4) says Rosenthal. As these changes manifest many people are chosing not to switch back to driving themselvs.
Finally, a benifit of limiting our car usage can be found in the better communionship that will result as cities will make their stores closer together and communities more closley knit. In Bogota, Colombia people are practicing "car-free days" and relying solely on public transportation. As this happens author of article "Care-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," Andrew Selsy, says "parks and sports centers [are] bloom[ing] 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" (Selsky source 3). Other places implementing car-free districts will never hear the roars of engines drowning out the chirping of the birds or childrens laughter. Infact, stores and public transportation is stratigically placed a walking distance away thus promoting social and physical benifits (Rosenthal source 1).
The advantages of limiting car usage include fuel will no longer pollute the air, alternate transportation is available and cheaper, and it would enforce goodwill and communionship. With greenhouse gasses rapidly circulating and polluting the globe it would be acceptional to decrease this by not driving as often. Furthermore, by using alternate transportation such as car pooling or taking a bus money is saved on gas and car repairs. Finally, goodwill and good social habits would increase as towns would become more closley knit as everything would only be a walk away. With this it we should limit our car usage to "save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve saftey" (Rosenthal source 4).

827c7de | Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Not all of studying Venus is dangerous and risky. There are good things and bad. Have you ever heard really disturbing things or pleasing things about Venus?
There are dangerous parts while studying Venus, such as the temperature being 800 degrees on there and the atmoshperic pressure it 90 times greater than what we experience. Which means, its a very dangerous planet and extremely hot. Having a planet that is that hot, nothing can survive being on it.
Even though Mercury is the closest to the Sun, its still not the hottest. The spacecrafts that has been sent up to has not survived or landed. In more than three decades, there has not been one that has landed. People consider it to be a challenging planet due to spacecrafts not being able to touchdown.
While studying Venus, there's not all dangerous parts, there are good.
Venus has been known to be the most Earth-like plant. Venus once was covered with large oceans and couldve supported forms of life, but how the wheather is not, its unlikely. Scientists are really eager to study Venus. Despite whatever the risks are, they are willing to take them just to get up close Venus and understand the planet. NASA has recently been looking for other ways to approach it. Some electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested and has lasted three weeks in on Venus's surface. Mechanical computers that played a role during World War ll. They are extremely powerful, flexible and quick but most importantly, it has been more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions.
Studying Venus has value and people who take the time to study good and bad things about it are true scientists. | 3 |
827ffc5 | I think its ok so you can know how the person is feeling. If you know how a person is feeling then you can react to them in a way. The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. If your in a classroom and you don't have one of those (FACS) then one day a student can come in all calm in the from out of nowhere there's a fight. But with a FACS when that person comes in the room, and the computer scans the person and it shows that the person is angry. Now that the teacher knows that the person is angry an they can see if they can calm them down. In paragraph 6 it's says "a classroom coomputer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." | 2 |
82830f3 | What are your thoughts of the "Face on Mars"? I think it is just a natural land form. I think it's just a landform becuase Earth has it's own form like mountains, so it could just be a mountain. There could be other theories that it isn't a landform, but I think that's what it is and here is why. Earth has techtonic plates, Mars might too, so far, we haven't found existing life on any other planets other than earth so Martians couldn't have built something like the pyramids.
To start off, Earth has techtonic plates we have known about them for many years and we know that the plates are always moving. With the plates always moving that's what formed the Himalaya Mountains and is what casuses them to continue getting taller. I think the "Face" on Mars is just and example of techtonic plates that are costantly moving and making the "Face" more definant every few years. Just the same way as the Himalayan Mountains not every year do we see a direct change in height with just our eyes. We have to measure it out to find out how much those plate techtonics have moved. That is what I believe is happening with the face, I think that since we aren't able to view it every year and measure how much more defiant it is that the year before or if it has even changed.
There's two sides to every argument here's the other side. If the face hasn't changed we could just asume there was life on mars that built it, but as technology increases and we can have a better view of the face and see how much more defiant it was from 1976-2001. It would be a more logical idea to think that it is just the planet moving or plates shifting. SInce on April '98 it was a cloudy day and winter perhaps alien markings were hidden by the clouds.
Although, as I continued reading in the passage, on April 8, 2001 a cloudless summer day in Cydonia they were able to get a second looke at the Face. In 2001 the resolution was much better and you could see the image more clearly. Garvin said, "As a rule of thumg, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the airplanes on the ground or the Egyptian-style pyraminds or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" The picture actually shows the Martian equalicant of a butte or mesa landforms common around the West in America. Since the photo can go up to high amounts of resolution and we should be able to see of there is proof of Marian life and their buildings, I don't think a real thing. RIght now the face looks like a natural land form.
To conclude my argument that the face is just a natural landform, I would have to say even though, there are some conspircy theories only one thing can be proven to be correct in science. Earrth has techtonic plates and so there's a great chance Mars does to, then only thing that could lead anyone to belive there was life on Mars would be the one photo that was taken in April of '98 when it was cloudy and winter. Lastly, there hasn't been any evidenve of life on Mars or any other planet, so therefore it was just a natural landform on the planet. | 4 |
82853da | The author said the studying Venus is the worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The Venus was the closet planet to the earth and the closet in the distance. In Venus there are 97 percent carbon dioxide and hightly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus atmosphere, and Venus is the hottest surface temperture than any other planet in our solar system.
First, the author said Venus was the closet planet to the earth and the closet in the distance. Earth,Venus, and Mars orbit the sun at the diferent speed. Sometime the earth are closer to the Venus because Venus is sometimes right around the corner. Human has sent numerous spacecraft to land on cloud-darped world. The mission was unmanned because the numerous factor contribute to Venus's reputation to study.
Second, in Venus there are 97 percent carbon dioxide and hightly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus atmosphere. Tempeture average over 800 degrees fehenheit and atmosphice pressure is 90 time greater than our planet. It is dangerous for human's environmant because it would crush a submarine accustomed to divided the deepset parts of our ocean.
Next, the authour said Venus is the hottest surface temperture than any other planet in our solar system. Venus is hight pressure and heat,Venusain geology and weather present impediments like erupting volcanoes,power earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on it surface.
Then, the author said some features that are anologous on Earth. It has surface on rocky sediment, such as valleys, mountains, and craters. The National Aeronatics and Space Administration has senting human to study Venus. They found that Venus would avoid the ground condition by staying up and out of their ways if they fly over many storm. At the thirthy-plus miles above the surface, temperture would be toasty at around 170 degrees fehenheit, but the air pressure would be closed to the sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth level. It survivable for human.
finally, the author also said Venus from a ship orbiting safty far above the planet can provide only limite insight on ground condition because most of light can't penetrate the dense atmosphere, redering standard form of photography and videography ineffective. Challenge presented by Venus has value because curiosity wil likely to lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
In conclution, the studying Venus is the worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The Venus was the closet planet to the earth and the closet in the distance. In Venus there are 97 percent carbon dioxide and hightly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus atmosphere, and Venus is the hottest surface temperture than any other planet in our solar system. the author said some features that are anologous on Earth. the author said some features that are anologous on Earth. The author our travels on Earth and beyund should npt be limited by dangers and doubts bu should be expanded to meet the very edges of imgination and innovation. | 2 |
8289969 | If you where in World War 2 you would be scared and/or sad. If your house got destroyed and so did your farm it is ok if the Seagoing Cowboys where there. If you joined the Seagoing Cowboys you could help a lot of people and yourself. I strongly think that you should join Luke in the Seagoing Cowboys program. The Seagoing Cowboys program is a program for boys. In order to join the Seagoing Cowboys program you had to be a boy. You where in the Seagoing Cowboys program for as long as you wanted but, the highest was 9 trips. They take care of all types of animals and you get to go all over the world and see many different things.
First thing you do is to go over the seas. Next you find where you need to go so you can go and help the area that have animals. Second you have to help people and animals by taking them to a safe place and trying to help them with everything you have. Lastly you go back to find more or go to a new place to help new people.
Helping is a good thing for all people but, you can also look around the places you are. For example, you get to go to Greece and help cargo 335 horses and all so look at the place. Lastly you could get many items to bring back to remind you of going and helping the people that need it the most and by going somewhere fun.
If you join the program then you get to meet many different people and try many new things. But, going only for fun is not the main reason. The main reason of going is to help people, animals, and other things. It is World War 2 at the time and many animals and people are trying to help them selfs but, they can't and that is why you should help them and join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
These are all my reasons talking about why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. If you joined this program you could help many people and also help yourself in many ways. I extreamly think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys in there adventures and having the experience of your life helping many people in need. Just remeber next time you hear someone lost ther barn or farm the Seagoing Cowboys will always help. | 3 |
8291f47 | Dear Senator PROPER_NAME,
When did voting not become about the people? An electoral college is only reassuring that your vote is the only vote that counts, but why mislead the people? Changing the voting system to popular vote will give all of us that reassurance we need, such as knowing our voices are being heard.
There are 538 electors deciding our country's fate compared to 5 million citizens who have a fair understandment of the presidency. Even though keeping the electoral college may prevent some citizens voting for the wrong person, we still have some smart people who can vote for themselves.
In the 2000 U.S. pressidential race, Al Gore recieved more individual votes than George W. Bush from the popular vote but Bush won the electoral votes, recieveing 271 votes and Gore got 266. This was the only presidential election where the popular vote was not counted.
What about the states who only have 1 or 2 representatives?
Wyoming only has 1 representative who represents 500,000 voters compared to California's whopping 35 million voters and 55 representatives.
Some of these smaller states are not getting their fair vote because their states population. Florida, New York, Texas and California have over 20 representatives to represent each state; how is that fair to the neighbor states with 2-3 representatives?
"
The electoral college is unfair, outdated and irrational.
" - Paragraph 14 from
Source 2:
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong.
If you want the peoples voices to be heard, get rid of your voting backup .

829dcfb | Imagine never teaching your kid how to drive. Well thats what would happen if driverless cars happen. That memory stays with a person till they die. Ask anybody about how they learned how to drive they can tell you like it was yesterday. There shouldnt be driverless cars because its too dangerous and elimates many things.
When you learn how to drive its a fun and exciting thing. You gain memories from that such as the mishaps you have while learning. You bond closer with whoever is teaching you. It even motivates you to do good in school and save money because once you learn you want your own. Any person can tell you off top when and how they learned how drive because its a ever lasting memory. By having driverless cars it takes away that.
Where is the fun in driving if its doing it for you? As a teenager you look forward to first getting a car and driving around with your friends. Its a time where you can bond and be social. By having driverless cars its the fun out it , think about what is fun about sitting behind a wheel while it drives itself?
Driverless cars create alot of danger also. Even today when drivers are more alert ever , there are millions of people who die in car crashes every year. Imagine the number of people who will die because people are not aware while the car is driving its self. Its in human nature for people to get a certain comfort level while doing something. Thousands of people on the road driving unalert and comfortable is not a safe thing.
By having driverless car it takes out alot business also. There's million of kids who learn how to drive thru drivers ed. An average drivers ed course cost around three hundred dollars. Thats millions of dollars thats get thrown out the window if driverless cars become a thing. Thousands of people will lose there jobs because of driverless cars.
Any way you look at it driverless cars doesnt benifit anyone but the people making them. Anything that puts people in harm and ruin businesses is not good for society. People driving around behindn the wheel on there phone while thier car drives itself is not a good idea for the society. At the end of the day driverless cars are too dangerous and elimate many important things we care about. | 2 |
82a2ba7 | Hello my name is Luke. I am goung to inform you about Seagoing Cowboys Program, why you should join, and more. It is great Program that helps many people each year. This has really helped me be aware of other countries and their needs.
You should join this program because you are helping many people and animals. When you join the Seagoing Cowboys you go on trips to help animals after there has been a war. You get to play games. It makes you become more aware of other people. You get to interesting places. I had a fun time helping people. I went on 9 trips more than anyone else. Although it took along time to get to places i had a great time.
In conclusion, these times have been the best times of my life. I get to help many people and animals. You get to feed animals and meet new people.
I also have learbned more about each county i have visited. | 2 |
82a33e2 | hello , my name is Luke Bomberger, and today im going to tell you why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. Here are my reasons: you get to help animals. The Seagoing Cowboys program helps the places where they went to war and such and help them. You get to ship over seas. You travel alot. If you like helping people then this job would be the job for you,the Seagoing Cowboys help, its our job to! when i was on this one trip , over the seas, we were busy! We took care of the animals and boy, was that a busy time. You also have alot of free time!.In my opinion, this program is the best desicion i have ever made in my whole entire life. Yes, there may be some times you dont like it, and yes, there are times that you would regret it, but all at the end, its worth it. Just make sure to follorw your dreams. you do you and when you grow up youll never regret the choice that you made.
In the Seagoing Cowboys program youll make many friends.
.So kids, if you like helping , animals , people, comunities, ect, then this program is the program for you! | 3 |
82a43db | The emotion reading tech called the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), should be in class rooms. This can help the teacher's make a bettter invirment for their student. This is because most of the time student will hide their emotins to keep people or things out. The tech can also be used to help the police intragating bad people.
The FACS should not be in any class becuase it gets to emotion that people don't want out. The FACS use "all 44 major muscles." This can help it make gussess on th "six basic emotions-happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles." Beside you can how someone is "feeling simply by the look on her face."
If FACS were allowed to be in classes it could help the teacher's or instructors. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang Predicts. "Then it coud modify the lesson, like an effective human instructors." This will allow the teacher's to take action that can improve the student state of emotion. The FACS would be a overall benefit for both student and teachers alike.
The FACS can also help people that can't speak. Most of the time, when talking to people who are in need. We can't really tell what they are think. In this artical, the FACS can tell emotions made by people. Not only can the
FACS tell the six basic emotions, it "can even identify mixed emtions."
The FACS should be in classess. This is because it can make a better place for many people. It can help people who are in need and teacher and student too. This FACS can change the way we look at the people around us. It can also help us to understand other people better as well. | 3 |
82a598a | I am going to be talking about how the use of technology to read emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. Have you ever wondered how technolgy can sense how you are feeling? Well I am going to be explaining if I am for or against the value of using technology to read students' emotional expressions.
In the text the author says, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang. "So computers need to understand that, too." Technology could also be very helpful for learning. The author says, "A classroom computer could recognizd when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. He also says, "Then it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor." This technology could help sense if someone is in danger but they do not want to say that they are. In paragraph 5 in the text the author says, "Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc. I do agree that technology would be valuable to read students emotional expressions.
Some students do not like explaining or expressing their feelings because maybe of what other kids might think of them or just because in general they may not know how too. In paragraph 4 the author states, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal," observes Dr. Huang, "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression" (like not smiling as broadly).
I am for using techonology to read students emotional expressions. The technology could detect your emotions and help others also to know how you are feeling just incase of an emergency. The technology would be able to sense if you are in danger by your emotions. The technology would also help those students that are not opened up about their emotions and explaining or expressing their emotions.
In conclusion, I am for the value of using this technology to read students' emotional expressions. The technology is valuable because it can help students open up about their emotions rather than keeping all of their emotions inside and making their emotions worse by keeping them to themselves. Most students like talking and expressing their emotions so they will not have to deal with all of their emotions and that way they are relieved of stress about their emotions. | 3 |
82a825d | This is not created by aliens, it was created by landforms and only landforms because aliens are not smart. What would they do with a face, just make a rock out of it? Scientists agree that is was created by natural landforms.
The only way it could have been created is by natural landform that happen way longer than when they dicovered the face. In paragraph 7 it says "Revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien minument after all". That states that there was no aliens involved with the face. What would aliens use to make the face in the rocks?
Scientists say that in paragraph 12 "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-- landforms common around the American West". So this means that it doesn't really have any evidence that aliens made it. This just means that it very well could be just natural landform creating things.
But, some people may think like the people in paragraph 8. " The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze". So right now it shows that there could be a possibility that aliens could have made the Face. This one piece of evidence could be the evidence they are looking for.
In conclusion, no one knows what made this interesting Face on Mars. But we do have a lot of information about what could have made it if it wasnt aliens. When we don't have a lot of information here, we can not really think what this Face was made by. All in all we think this Face was made by simple natural landform. | 3 |
82a9372 | I think things should be like the old days where not everone owned cars. There many advantages in limiting car usege, such as less accedince, better formed communities. There would be more people getting to know there neibors and would be a nice friendly place to stay. People would be in better shap and we would be the fatest country in the world anymore. Experts say automobels are the leading couse of green house gases.
Experts say that green house gases are poisioning are atmophere. So why would we poision what we need to live. why not hang up the keys and get a little exersise get some fresh air.
Its proven that people who exersise often feel better and live a little long. So insted of being lazy walk to work or school get in shap we need to stop teaching are youth that its ok to be lazy. Thats why are country is that fattest inn the world today.
If less people drive there will be less accedice less people will die because of careless driving or drunk driving. Its a fact that car crashes are the leading couse of teenage deaths. So why put yourself in that percent of people who crash just going to the store or to a friends house.
If communitys didnt have cars it would be just like the old days where everyone knew everyone. People would be more involved in the community there would be alot less crime because everone would most likely be friends with everone. people would be getting together and having cook outs and having a good time with there niebors.
Those are the advantages i see in limiting car usage. | 2 |
82a94a8 | Have you every herd about the story " A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves"? If you haven't you get to become a Seagoing Cowboy. You also don't just watch farm animals you can stop at places like Greece,Itay,& China on your trip. You have to try this out and I will tell you why right now.
When you go and become a Seagoing Cowboy you get to live on a boat with farm animals. Also while on your way to your distanation you get to stop at cool places. You can stop Greece,Italy,& China. Also even a castle. You get to see different cultures. When your fun and amazing trip comes to an end and you have to go home. Where their were animals is a big and open, because they are gone now. So you play sports like baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, and boxing. Also it wastes time on the way back.
I belevie if you do go you would have one of the best time of your life. Also keep in mind this is to help paces after World War II. And you get to see how this world changed from a war. And how people are doing in their new home that was maybe was distroed. And when you do help you see how the people are happy and so thankful for you help with supplies. So they can now live again with some comfort. | 2 |
82a9cbf | I do not agree with the whole driverless car thing. To start off it is dangerous. The idea that the person has to always be alert defeats the purpose of it being driverless. Also the alerts to get the drivers attention should not be needed. I mean if someone creates a driverless car they should actually make it so it is, in fact, driverless.
On long road trips I get that one person has to drive the whole time, and yes the driver could get tired and want to take a nap. This would be good for them but even if the driver were to go to sleep and be awaken to an accident in front of them. You cannot expect a human that has been sleeping to be completely in control of what is going on at the time. Who knows, they might freak out and run into something else. There are so many possibilities that something could go horribly wrong with driverless car.
Yes, I know almost everyone expects to have all this new technology in the future. All I think about is the movie Wall-E and how they had their own floating chairs and everyone was fat and lazy. Is that really how we want the world to end up. America is already one of the most obese countries. Making it so people do not have to drive is taking away from at least some of the excercise they could have.
Overall I think the driverless cars are a bad idea. Not only will there be more accidents because people are not always going to be watching the road and they will not have to rely on a machine, if they just drove themselves. Whoever makes a car that could go driverless will almost never make it completely driverless. There will always be something else to add on to it. | 3 |
82af6a6 | My name is Luke I had joined the UNRRA program in 1945. In article " A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves " talks about the participation in the Seagoing Cowboys program .
In the passage they talk about me and my adventures although breaking my ribs wasn't so plesant . In this passage
I will tell you what I think IF more people would have joined the UNRRA program.
I think that joining the UNRRA( the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration) would be fun and exciting because you would be able to vist many countries , and you would be able to learn and see many new things every trip you made . That is one of the many reasons Don and I joined the program .
UNRRA about hiring "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of young horses , young cows , and mules that were shipped overseas. UNRRA was formed to help Eroupe and many countries that were left in ruins by World War ll,to help these countries recover their food supplies , animals, and more .
In August 1945, I had recived orders to report to New Orleans. The day I arived was the day the Pacific war had ended.
I got seaman's papers and boarded the SS Charles W.Wooster, heading to Greece with cargo of 335 horses im addition enough hay and oats to feed them . My birthday had passed before arriving to Greece I had turned 18 which meant I could be drafted to military service . By the time I it was 1947 I had made nine trips the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.
I got to see many new and cool things on my trips . In the passage it tells what I got to see on my trips in the passage it tells " Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing
Europe and china . but seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special, he says . So was taking the a gondola ride in
Venice, Italy , a streets of water." I also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama
Canal on my way to China.
I had so much fun and it was an exsperience of a lifetime besides the picking after the animals and breaking a few bones ,but it was all worth it, and I bet so many people would enjoy it as well as I did . That is why I think that morepeople should join th UNRRA . | 3 |
82b2ffc | Traveling outside of our planet ,we call Earth, seems bizarre. Unless NASA sends a couple astronauts out to the moon, traveling to any other planet is not something a person would be used to hearing everyday. Imagine going to a planet where it is surrounded by a carbon dioxide atmosphere and a corrosive sulfuric acid atmosphere combined. While it only gets up to a little over 100 degrees in many places aorund the world in the summer, this planet gets over 800 degreees Fahrenheit year round. Obviously, it seems impossible to live there without dying immediately. But, isn't that why we have spacecrafts to go off and do missions? Many spacecrafts only make it a few hours when sent to this planet, making it nearly impossible. Surprisingly enough, this planet is known as Venus. Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density, size and distance, which makes sense why so many scientists and employees at NASA are so interested in studying Venus.
Venus is known as Earth's sister planet. Earth being very similar to Venus, Venus is extremely different in ways it is hard for a human being to imagine. But, once upon a time, Venus was more Earth-like than ever before. It was covered in large oceans with a suitable way for forms of life to live there. Today, Venus has some similarities, such as a surface of rocky sediment and has valleys, mountains, and craters. Being so similar to Earth, scientists decided to take up on diving deeper in the world of Venus. Venus has an incredible amount of dnager, which is why NASA has options for making the mission safe but also scientifically productive.
One of several options would be to send humans to study Venus floating above the fray. With this option, the humans would be able to survive, but still have to go through 170 degree temperatures. An obvious disadvantage to floating above the fray would be the distance barrier. It is very hard to collect samples of rock, gas, or photos from that far of a distance. Rendering standard forms of photograph and videography become ineffective because floating from such a distance provides limited insight.
The right but more difficult path to take would be figuring out a way to reach ground level on Venus. Not impossible, researchers are working on innovations that would let the machines last long enough to contribute meaningfully to get more knowledge on Venus. Some of the simplified electronics are made of silicon carbid and have also been tested in some of the extreme dangers that Venus has. A second similar machine would have been similar to mechanical computers used base in the 1940s during World War II. These type of devices make calculations by using gears and levers without the need of electronics. Today's modern technology would be fragile to be able to sustain any type of conditions in Venus, although it is way easier and faster to use modern day technology for this specific challenge.
Having danger limit the human brain is one of the "easier said than done" situations. After a while, humans will become to curious and will want to know more about Venus and about all of the dangers that come with it. There is no other way to figure these things out other than figuring out a way to see all of it for ourselves. Using our curiousity, researchers and those who work at NASA might be able to create new innovations or ways to see all of the dangers that are within the scary planet of Venus. | 4 |
82b38aa | In " the challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. In the article it states that due to the harrsh environment of Venus from anything here on Earth it's more then likely to be able to explore the twin planet of Earth, Venus. They'll need to create a vehicle able to maintain itself in Venus.
By hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly
ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. At thirty-plus miles above the surface, but the temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of the sea level here on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed Earth levels.
Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography
and researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else. So giving the chance of making something strong enough to sustain Venus will be a longshot. | 1 |
82bb7d4 | Twenty five years ago the Viking 1 spacecraft was taking pictures of Mars, when the spacecraft got a picture of something that looked like a human face, they named it the Face. Scientist from NASA have done futher research on the Face and think that it is a mesa, but others think that the Face was created by aliens. The Face on Mars is simply, a natural landform, and was not created by aliens like some people think.
When the scientist discovered the Face they were very excited because they thought it was something special, but the feeling was short lived. The scientist figured out it was a Martian mesa, which is very common around Cydonia. To better describe the Face would be to say it is: a huge rock formation that respembles a human head. A mesa is a rock formation and rocks can look like all kinds of things, even a human head.
Pictures were taken of the Face in 1976, 1998, and 2001 the resolution on the pictures getting better as technology advances. If one simply looks at the pictures they could tell that the Face is just a rock and it was not alien-made. In 1998 the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time and took pictures that were ten times sharper than the original pictures, it was then that the scientist decided that the Face was a rock. The people were still in denial, so NASA set out to get more pictures in 2001. When the pictures came back it was clear that the Face was still just a mesa and was not made by aliens.
At this point the scientist were satisfied, the Face was just a Martian equivalent to a butte or mesa. One scientist even compared it to things on Earth. Scientist Jim Garvin said, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho". The Face is a mesa that was formed naturally just like a mesa on Earth. They both look the same and were not created by aliens.
The Face that was found on Mars in 1976, was not made by aleins and is just a mesa that was formed naturally. Multiple pictures determined that it just happened to look like a human face and upon closer examination was not alien-made. The Face has been compared to things on Earth like a butte or a mesa multiple times. This proves that the Face was not made by aliens and is a natural Martian mesa. | 3 |
82bf172 | Limiting car usage might be a thought most of us wont even think about. But thats not the case. Countrys from all over the world are partaking in this new way. The reason why people are doing this is to clean the polluted air we breath in
A growing project that europe introduced is suburbs without cars. In Europe a town in Germany constructed this experimental suburb project . For little to no cars in the community. This place is home to 5,500 residents and there are practically no cars, the main source of transportation is a tram. You are allowed to own aa car but its an extra $50,000 a year. In America they are not close to carring out this idea. But in the last year the number of license are going down and the number of cars being sold and hiw much we are driving. This concludes that we are taking i consideration how much emissions we are putting into the air.
In FRance, Paris enforced a partial ban on driving to clear smog of the city.
On monday motorists with even numbered plates were ordered to leave cars at home. The same would apply for the odd numbered plated the following day. Public transportation was free from friday to moday. These ideas helped clear the air of pollutants. But it took a long time because of hoiw much pollution was in the air due to France favoring diesels over gasoline.
Another way people are cleaning the air and limiting car usage is a car free day. In Bogota, Columbia the gial of this is to promote alternative transportattion and reduce smog. Bogota is a large city homed to 7 million citzens. This idea of a day without cars was started in Bogots in the 1990's, because of this parks and sports centers have booms and many miles of bike trails have been constructed for the recreational; use but also to urge people to not use cars and clean the air.
These ideas have been expressed to reduce the usage of cars. Using cars less will have a huge effect on the ozone and how much pollutant is in the air. | 2 |
82c09a2 | Have you ever been to a Seagoing Cowboys program? Well my name is Luke Bomberger, and I am going to tell you that their are fun games and nice people that will help you, you will see things you never seen before,andyou will help people in diffrent places and save the animals too.
First,you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you will see things you never seen before. But what if the people are scared to go on a boat? The texts states that Luke's friend Don invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat and Luke knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime. The text also states that when he sighed up for Seagoing Cowboys program the animals that are on the boat kept him busy and he probely didn't know that he was on the boat.
Next, you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you will help people in diffrent places and save the animals too. But what if people are scared of thoses people?
The text supports Luke helped people at Europe and China. The text also supports that Luke had a night job and the animals had to be feed every hour.
Finally, you would want to go because their are fun games and nice people that will help you. But what if there aren't nice people there? In the text it states that they have cool games like table tennis, fenceing, boxing,reading, whitting, and etc. to pass time. The text also states that when it was a rainy day Luke sliped on a latter and his friends were there to safe him and help him get up from a small strip of metal.
This is the 3 reasons I want you to go because their are fun games and nice people that will help you, you will see things you never seen before,andyou will help people in diffrent places and save the animals too. the last thing is try something new and don't be scared! | 3 |
82c32c5 | Driverless cars would be a good source for people to have. It would be a very helpful thing, we would use less of our time to drive than the time we do today. People would have more time to do other things also. People would also take a break from driving because they sometimes get tired of driving so much. For example people have to drive so much when they go to their jobs,stores,doctor etc.
Driverless cars have the best aspects, some exaples are transportation,safetly and awesome.
I think that driverless cars would be a good transportation for the people. I think the driverless cars have very good aspects that will do good foe us. For example people would drive less and that means they would use less fuel and not waste a lot of money. Driverless cars also uses half of the fuel that taxis use today, therefor people would save up more money. Driverless cars also have a very good flexibility more
than a bus so I say that these upcoming driverless cars are going to make our lifes easier and better.
Another reason why we should have the driveless cars are because they are safety. Cars has been drive for more them a million miles without a crash so that means that their safe to have them. These cars also alert the drivers when they have take over pulling in and out of the driveways. Also when the cars gets to the point where there is a coplicated traffic issue like roadwork or accidents. Driverless cars alerts to know that somethings is happening and therefor we can avoid accidents or other stuff.
Lastly driverless cars would just be awesome. It would be very nice to have a car like that and that you would have o worry about driving it. Also if actually wanted to drive the car because it would be boring not driving you could. The driverless car would quickly turn off and the driver could take over.Its awesome because it has several aspects that are just great and that people would not
complained about it because they are satisfied and like it.
People would be fascinated to have these new cars. People would think they are worth to make them because it would be a very good thing for the whole world to have. Another good thing about thsese new cars, is that a lot people would want to buy because they would really like them. Therefor the people who made them would sell a lot ot the driverless cars and would make a lot of money. | 3 |
82c3a96 | Studying Venus is important. Venus is called the Evening Star and is the second planet from our sun. Venus is a challange for Venusian geologiests to study. Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantafe point of Earth, it has proved a very challanging place to examine more closely, says in Paragraph 1. Everything is going to be challenging if one wants to actually make a change or if one wants to discover something. It says in paragraph 4 that, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth today. It would be so amazing if someone could find another planet that could support forms of life.
There is many things to learn about Venus. There could be things in Venus that scientists havent discovered, and scientist shouldn't give up on Venus. It is is worth it. If long time ago, Venus could of had largely oceans, then why can't it have oceans now? There is tons of questions that may not be answered. It might of dryed off but why can't it be refilled again? If there was possibilities of life in Venus, why can't it be life in Venus now?. Venus is totally worth studying and discovering despite any dangers it presents.
There is many things that can be possible, Venus is an interesting planet to study.
It is referred to as Earth's twin. If there is many things scientists are discovering in Earth itself, there will be more things they will discover in planet Venus. Even if its a challange to land in planet venus there should be a way that they can make things work and discover more things about it.
Discovering venus is more than worth anything and should be continued to be dicovered. | 3 |
82c4468 | Do you think it was made by an alien or is it a natural landform? Many people have different opinions some say aliens created it, but others say that is a natural thing. In my opinion I think that it's a natural landform. I have 3 examples, first when the camera captured the picture it wasen't clear enough because there were wispy clouds. Second in the artical it said "it spotted shadowy likeness of a human face". Third the artical aslo said "formed by shadows giving the illusison of eyes, nose, and mouth.
First the camera captured the picture, but it wasen't clear enough because when they captured the picture there were wispy cloud which can make it hard to take a picture or to see the picture. This example shows that they might of seen something else such as the face ,but it could be wrong because they captured the picture when there was wispy clouds.
Second in the artical it said "it spotted shadowy likeness of a human face" which can mean that when the picture was captured the camera could have of captured some shadows to which can create an illusion of a face when in reality it could be the showdows. This example shows that the camera captured the shadows which can create and illusion of a face.
Third in the artical it also said that "formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. This can mean that people see it in many way's. the picture creates an illusion that can make you think that it's a face with eyes, nose, and mouth. This example shows that the picture wasn't taken right which can cause an illusion, many people see a face, but that's because the picture creates an illusion of a face.
In conclusion many people have different opinions some say aliens created it, but say is a natural landform. Some people may have counter calims first counter claim is why would NASA lie to us. Second counter claim is that the picture showed a face so it is a face. Third counter claim is that they had a good camera so if it shows it then it is a face. My rebuttals would be that NASA is not lieing about the pictures. Second the picture might create an illusion that makes you think it's a face. Third not all cameras show exactly what you want to take a picture of these are my counter claims and rebuttals and also my example and explanantions. | 3 |
82c6d34 | This persuasive essay is about why you should join the the Seagoing Cowboy Program. The Seagoing Cowboy Program is an amazing program with a lot to offer. You could change your life easily by going into the program.
Luke Bomberger had no idea his life would change but "He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime.
Luke said that "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy" He also said "Besides helping people I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China.
It's an amazing opportunity because you get to help people, and you get to see beautiful places like Europe and China. You get to have free time and few jobs let you have free time. "Luke found time to have fun on board he played table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and even whittling. If that's not enough I don't know what is. Being a Seagoing Cowboy is just an opportunity you don't want to miss. | 2 |
82c9864 | I believe the face on Mars was not created by aliens. I believe the face is just a natrual land mass that looks like a face from far away. It's almost as if you were to see a person you think you know, but as you get close enough to see their face you dont know them at all.
I believe the face on Mars is a natrual land mass for many reasons. One main reason is that the face is just and elevated area of land. Over the past years many astroids and space debre have hit or landed I could say on Mars. So if astroids landed on the elevated space in places where the eyes, nose, and mouth should be making it look as if a face was on Mars. The article states that the rock formation was as if it was an illusion of the features of a human on the mountain of rock. Another reason is that in the past the "Face on Mars" could have been a mountain. Meaning that the winds, dust, and dirt could have worn down the mountain making it into a mesa. The article states that many mesa's have been spotted around Cydonia, making it possible for the "Face on Mars" to be just another mesa. The article staes that NASA have taken many pictures of the face and they all revealed "a natrual landform." NASA stated that there was no alien monument. Another reason is that Mars used to be an active planet. So if the "Face of Mars" used to be a mountain it could have got run down by lava flows in the area. Making it into a landform thta looks like a face.
In conclusion there are many facts and theories about the "Face on Mars." People who think the "Face on Mars" was created by aliens will have a much tougher time proving that it was created by aliens. Therefore there is many more facts about the "Face on Mars" being a natrual land mass. These are just some of the reasons why I believe the "Face on Mars" is a natural land mass. | 4 |
82d0240 | Do you think the face on Mars is a natural landform? According to many scientists and conspiracy theorists, the face on Mars is a natural landform. Nasa spoke out about the face on Mars. Also, Michael Marlin and Garvin shared their opinions on the face. The face on Mars is a natural landform because of what the picture revealed,showed, and had captioned.
The face on Mars had a caption from Nasa. After the discovery of the picture, Nasa unveiled the image for all people to see. The picture had a caption noting a huge rock formation. The formation resembles a human face. It has a human head, formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, a noes, and mouth.
The face on Mars had revealed somthing. Michel Malin and his Mars orbiter camera (MOC) team snapped a sharp picture. The picture was ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site. The website revealed a natural land form (meaning there was no alien momument).
The face on Mars showed somthing to Garvin. The picture actually shows the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American west. It reminds him most of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. The Snake River Plain is a lava dome. It takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars.
The face on Mars resembles a natural landform. There is alot of evidence to support this claim. Such as Michel Marlin's,Nasa's, and Garvin's evidence. The face on Mars is a natural landform because of what the picture revealed,showed, and had captioned. Do you believe the face is a natural landform? | 3 |
82d055f | Computers that detect emotion would not be useful in a classroom because it would add extra work for teachers, and the computers wouldn't be immune to network problems and other things of that nature. They also probably will make mistakes in detecting emotions, and possible cause problems for students and teachers. There is also alot of contrversy on the data that computers already collect on their users everyday. With that why would parents want their childs emotional data collected and sold off to companys just to give them better ads. While there may be some good reasons for having emotion detecting computers the bad outweigh the good.
Computers knowing how their users feel would cause alot of problems for society as a whole, especially if it was implemented in schools. If this new technology was placed in our schools for everyday use, there is a high likelyhood that there would be many problems with it. Dr. Huang states," A classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."(D'Alto, 6) The idea behind this is brilliant; a computure will make class less boring and more understandable for students who may be struggling. The flaw in this logic is that teacher would have to make more than one lesson, and they would then have to put in the conditions in for which lesson the computer should give the children. This would add alot of extra work for a teacher where as if the teacher is instructing the whole class they can take a moment to clarify if students look confused, and then that is all and they can move on without having to make diffrent slides or another worksheet. Not only would the teacher have to put in more time, but the student would possibly be on a totally diffent page than the rest of the class due to diffrences in possible lessons. One other very likely problem that students will face is problems with the actual computer becasue it will lag, or they will have problems with the WIFI. Then how will the student be able to get their class work done.
There is also a lot of contrversy surronding the data that computers already collect on their users everyday. It would be safe to say that a majority of parents and gardians would not be fine with thier childrens emotional data being collected, and it then being sold off to give them better ads. Becase in all honesty children are not only using school computes for educational purposes, there are many students who are playing games, looking at articles, and in general not doing school work. There is also many times teachers tell students to look things up, and anytime something is looked up online there are ads. RIght now these ads are mostly targeted towards things that have been looked up in the past or things that have been clicked on. Dr, Huang says," For example, if you smile when a Web as appears on your screen, a simmilar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be diffrent." (D'Alto, 6) Why would parents want Google ad generation to know you child looked at a random ad and just so happened to smile? It doesn't make any sense. Also not only does the program that caught that lovely smile know, but now the people the company owning that program sold it to know too. One thing that should not be sold for profit is someones emotional data.
Now the reasons that people would want emotion reading technogly in classrooms should be addressed. A student might do better in school should they be able to have a lesson almost entierly catering to their intrests.
Dr. Huang states," Then tit could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." ( D'Alto, 6) This would mean that the student would be able to have a lesson that they understand, and that they would be interested in. This would promote more learning and better grades.
This tecnology is a bad idea for teachers and students alike to have emotion reading techonlogy placed in classroom, and there would likey be an poutcry from the public to remove them due to their emotional information being sold to companies. The bad outcomes just outweigh the positives. | 5 |
82d3796 | On May 24, 2001 NASA had thought that they had discovered a face on mars that was created,by aliens. Because any human face can look like that. It couldn't have been aliens because aliens doesn't even exist.
The only reason that they think it was aliens because everyone around the world always talk about how aliens live on mars! You can tell by how the face looks like that it is a human face. The reason that make it look like an alien face because of how long it had been there for,and that was about twenty years,and also that its covered up with rocks and dirt.
But to let you know that its not a person that aliens had created,because if you look at paragraph seven that Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), took good,very sharp picture of it,it revealed . . . a natural larmform.
That it was no alien monument after all. But they had to get more evidence to really make sure that it was a ordinary human and that was not created by aliens because lots of people belive was not satisfie,and actually belive that it was created by humans.
So whe they look back at it they discover somthing, they discoverd that it was a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. And thats what had lead people to know that it was landform human face. | 2 |
82d48f6 | Driverless cars good or bad idea? I believe driverless cars are a very bad idea because when these cars come out with the technology to drive theirselves it will not be driving theirselves all the time and will not know how to go into driveways, parking garages, backroads, etc. Also even though it might be accurate at driving itself on the road it will not do good in the snow at all or different weather situations, and finaly it will not prevent any accident at all because even a human cant stop accidents on the roads. One good thing about it is it can go the speed limit at all times and you wont get any tickets unless the system acts up.
When they come out with the technology for driveress cars it will be a bad idea because It wont really be driverless if it still requires for you to sit in the seat on the steering wheel and will make you drive it to park, go into driveways, etc. Also it will alert you when you need to drive the car, but isnt the whole point of driverless cars is to have the computer technology in the car drive itself while you can do other things and dont need to be focused on if the computer technology is going to fail.
Another reason driverless cars is a bad idea is because they didnt relalize in the different weather situations that could interfear with the cameras or sensors and cause you to drive right off the road, and if the technology uses the gps wifi, if that gps wifi fails you will have no way of stopping it from just driving off the road and would not get warned about it at all if other things were to fail in the technology of the cars computer system
And finaly the most important reason driverless cars is a bad idea is because it will not prevent any accident for example if you are driving down the road somone turns left on a red light your car wont know what to do that fast it wont know how to swerve around it or anything so you would just T-Bone the other driver. Also with accidents if your car gets somone injured in a accident or kills somone whos fault is it? Is it going to be the manufacturers made the driverless system or the person in the drivers seat holding the steering wheel. With this technology people can easily lie and say it was the computers fault and get away with it if that is the case.
I believe driverless cars are a very bad idea because when these cars come out with the technology to drive theirselves it will not be driving theirselves all the time and will not know how to go into driveways, parking garages, backroads, etc. Also even though it might be accurate at driving itself on the road it will not do good in the snow at all or different weather situations, and finaly it will not prevent any accident at all because even a human cant stop accidents on the roads. That is why I believe driverless cars are a horrible/bad idea for all drivers and everyone and their safety. | 4 |
82dcd90 | The venus is on of the begist that have been fined in the uper of earh and is very deeber than we thought in all humen live. there is a lot of people that try to go to it to finad something intrasting for the earth to showe how is it outside for the enother people that even care about how we rully we filt about it. the proplem is not about the nuiter is about us how we trad our world and what we even blive with. we should be thankful everyday for what we have get from allah, he crriet us to be bliven at hem and dont warshib no one asted him he is the one that carrit it every thanig that we rally use everyday. he make us thanik before any thing we do for a good thanigs or bed thanigs. there are some people that dont want any thing from this world they do good thaings to make tham one of the momanin and those momanin are the one that wershep allah the greadst in all ever in this world even out this world that we bleive in and every one should blieve in him .all this is from allah and his prophat mohammad o god pray on him. our prohat he invied us to blieve in allah no god astid him and blieve in his prophat, and he say that we should pray to allay five times a day and if we can and have the money to go to makkah , and give the poor people money if we have money and he said do ramadan and fasit in this month. this how we respact every body and every one how respect us. | 1 |
82dd80e | The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. The artice is saying that the new techonology can determine ones emotions due to their face muscles. This new techonology being able to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because it could let a teacher or someone know that something is wrong and could help them. Also, it is valuable because like the article said if the student seems confused or unintrested the computer could modify the lesson. Another reason why it is valuable is because it could help with classes that you're taking.
Letting the teacher know that something is wrong with the student can be a great help because they could give the student recources to comfort the or even just try to talk to them and see if they need further help. If a student is not feeling well it could impact their school work and potentionally hurt their grades. With this new technology it can possibly prevent the student emotions hurt their school work and grades. With that being said this technology can help improve students in a classroom.
As I stated in my introduction i said that this new technology can help the students learn better. The way this software works is that the computer that the student is using in the classroom wil can have complex algorithms to determine the students feelings. Now if the student is showing a confusion facial expression it could modify the lesson as if the teacher was to do so. if the computr determines that the student is confued or bored and it modifys the lesson it could help the student by actually teaching/ presenting something that is going to be able to teach them more effectively.
This new software can help som student with the classes their taking. It could help with art, drama, music, speech class. The way it could help with art is that being able to determine emotions can benefit how the artist protrays what they are making by knowing what feautures dtermine a persons emotions. for drama clas it can benefits also by helping with facial expressions on stage or when ever they are preforming. In the article it states that a "renowned drama coach, had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage."
Keeping in mind that some student would not want their emotional expressions being read due to their privacy. But if some student were to agree on being read if could potentionally help them academically and emotionally.
In conclusion, the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. This new techonology being able to read can help because it could let a teacher or someone know that something is wrong and could help them. Also, it can help the student if they seem confused or unintrested the computer could modify the lesson. Another reason why it is valuable is because it could help with classes that you're taking. With that being said it can be very valuable in a students classroom to help benefit them in many ways. | 5 |
82defb4 | The face on Mars is not created by aliens. It is a natural landform just like the ones we have on earth. I understand that some people may think otherwise, but scientists figured out that it is just another Martian mesa. Meanwhile defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an acient civilization on Mars.
We have taken three pictures of the face and studied them intensly. It doesn't matter how much better the picture is because it is proven that it is a natural landform. As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size. So if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see that they were!
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. I really do not understand why or how people think that aliens created this landform. Why would they have done it? What would it be for? Why would they just make a huge, random, human like head? I do not know. You have scientists proving that this is just a landform and yet you still have people who doubt the logic. There will always be people who doubt the logic.
We took a picture on April 5, 1998. Thousands of anxious wed surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. No surpirse there. But even after that not everyone was satisfied. Skeptics said that perhaps alien markings were hidden by haze. So on April 8, 2001- a cloudless summer day- we took another picture. The photo was extraordinary. This photo proved a lot of skeptics wrong, but there will always be those people who doubt.
Nevertheless it is proven that the face on Mars is not created by aliens and that it is just a natural landform. It will always be a natural landform. Nothing else. I guess some people are just determined to make life interesting. And by all means life is what you make it. The face on Mars will never be forgotten of course, but without the suspician of aliens the face is not that interesting to many people. The face might be fun to learn about, but its not something you will remember throughout your life. | 4 |
82e0c2c | In Vauban Germany, the people in the suburbs have stopped driving. Parking or housing a car predominately prohibited and the only vehicle you'd see is the tram that take citizens from the edge of the community or to downtown Freiburg. You can own a car, but the parking space is incredibly limited, sometimes even expensive.
The residents aren't complaining. 57% of the population even had sold their car to live in Vauban, one woman even stating she felt less tense without a vehicle.
The growing trend of reducing automotive use in suburban lifestyles is a role in a movement known as "smart planning." Cars are often heavily populated in the suburbs, which hinders the efforts to reduce greenhouse gas tailpipe emissions, as up to 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in the US come from cars.
Many of the world is now slowly following Vauban's steps with actions like reducing the size of suburbs and and giving its residents more access to public transportation. Rather than creating distant malls along highways, stores are being placed on a main street that's a walk away.
In Paris, after dealing with a nearly record-high amount of smog, a driving ban was enforced to reduce and/or clear out the pollution. Public transit was free and the smog managed to clear enough that cars with odd-numbered plates were allowed to be put in use again.
Bogota, California also took part in a day without passenger vehicles, with only buses and taxis in commision. On Day Without Cars, 7 million people rode bikes, skated, hiked, or took a bus to their job. It's believed to help reduce pollution and reduce stress. Thanks to the day, parks and sport centers have appeared, sidewalks made smoother and broadened, rush-hour rules designed to cute traffic, and plenty of new shops and dining places within short distance.
Recents studies also appear reveal a decrease in car purchases as time passes, raising the question of America's interest in automotives and driving. As of 2013, an average person drove 9% below the peak, identical to where is was in 1995. While the price of cars is a factor taken into consideration, the decrease hopefully hints to a more permanent drop in car use.
With this comes a benificial lessen of carbon emmissions, conserve resources and improve safety. Only time will tell where it will go from here. | 2 |
82e8b69 | I think that the face on Mars is fake because on the day of the original photo the wheather was foggy and the camera had to see through the fog, I also think it is fake because the face was aproxamently 2 miles long which is a verry big rock, the last reason I think it is fake is because the pictures taken were verry bad camera and on lt had a little amount of pixles.
The face on Mars is fake because on the day the face was first seen, outside was verry foggy.
This means that the cameras would have to see through haze.
However some still thought that the face was made by aliens, even though it was winter and in bad wheather.
Then later we took a picture of the face on a clear day and didnt see a face.
This makes me think that there has never been a face on Mars
Another reason that I think that the face on Mars is fake is because the statue was to be aproxamently two miles long and maybe even longer.
This makes it seen unreasonably tall.
If the face were to be two miles tall then that would mean that many of the other rocks would be smaller, but they are not actually the surrounding rocks are much bigger.
My last reason that I think that there isnt a face is because our pictures arn't the best.
The cameras that took the original picture took 43 meters per pixel, and the camera that took the picture in 2001 made a pixel every 1.56 meters.
This leads to the fact that no face had ever been found on Mars.
Only the camera made it look like a face.
I think that the face on Mars is fake because on the day of the original photo the wheather was foggy and the camera had to see through the fog, I also think it is fake because the face was aproxamently 2 miles long which is a verry big rock, the last reason I think it is fake is because the pictures taken were verry bad camera and on lt had a little amount of pixles.
The fog made it nearly impossable for the camera to take a clear picture of the mountain on Mars.
The face was also suposed to be about two miles tall which means that this mould be a verry big rock, but the rock besides it is much bigger then it.
The old cameras that NASA owned were bad compared to what the more modern pictures were taken with.
In conclusion everyone now needs to know that the face found on the mountain is fake. | 3 |
82eba96 | The author presents the idea that Venus is a worthy contestant for exploraton despite all of its present dangers. Despite all of the authors reasoning, there is yet an actual valid reason as to why we should keep attempting to explore it. Everything we have tried to send there has melted due to it's inability to cope with Venus' extreme temperatures. We cannot attempt to send people up there if were not sure whether or not its safe for people to stay there for long due to its inhabitable conditions. Also i would imagine that these machines
we send to other planets are not very cost-friendly at all, so what would be the point to send all these machines that would only last a couple hours.
Venus has an average surface temperature of 800 degrees Fahreheit and that's not even close to anything we experience here on earth. We don't really have any metals or materials that would last for very long in those types of conditions, we're just not there yet. The idea of sending people to go and study Venus is absolutely horrible. We're not anywhere close to 100% sure of humans could comfortably live in those types of conditions. It would be too risky to send a bunch of people up there to study Venus but then have something so wrong and end up with people dead or harmed in an way. Our machines only last for a matter of hours on the surface of Venus, these things that we send to go and explore are most likely very costly. Why would you want to waste that much money on something that only last a matter of hours. I understand that we cant get much information from watching from afar but we can't keep spending money on such things just to keep sending them back there to only get destroyed after a while, it's just not worth the time or money in the long haul.
The author presented some pretty "ok" arguemets as to why we should try to continue to study Venus allthough it presents some obvious dangers. The reasons as to why we shouldn't continue it's study are stonger than the reasons as to why we should. We can't survive in its inhabitable conditions. We can't send anything there for long due to it being destroyed after a matter of hours. Lastly, we can't waste money on such a useless project that will serve nothing to helping the human race. We should not continue to study Venus, it is not worth all the hassle. | 3 |
82ed376 | I think driverless cars are a good idea. There may be some deffects, but there are many more good things about it.
Having driverless cars would decrease car accidents. The article says "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." Throughout the years technology will keep advancing, and driverless cars will only get better, and be safer. Passengers could text and have a much lower risk of crashing.
These driverless cars could help solve many problems. For example if someone is disabled, but still drives every once in a while this will help in many ways. It'll help by driving itself, while the disabled person can at least watch. If someone is late to work and they have to eat in the car, this would make it so much safer than eating and having one hand on the stearing wheel.
I think this would make older people's lives much more easy. One thing it can help with is taking them to the rite destination. It can also help them be more percatious of their surroundings.
Not only will this make things easier for many people, but it can also help people learn. In case of any accidents there will be cameras in the car and out that can show what exactly had happened. This driverless car can also help us appreciate the nature outside our car windows. Car accidents could be greatly reduced. | 3 |
82eec16 | In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the authour said Venuse is often referred to as Earth's twin. So well alot of people would think that it means they are the same, wrong as said in the article Venus gets up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit on the planet's surface and the atmosphere is made up of mostly 97% carbon dioxide that blankets Venus.
The resend Astronomers are fasinated by Venus is because is is the plant most like Earth. They beleive that Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life. If Venus once had life, and water what could have happened to Venus could happen to Earthso studying Venus could posibale halp us save Earth from having the same fate.
So in the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," yes it has its challenges just like everything we do on Earth or in space. Just like in the article it said that the surface of Venus is 800 degrees Fahrenheit, so to solve this challenge the good people at NASA are trying to find something that can withstand the heat and still be able to bild a space shadal out of it. As some as we can get someone on Venus and keep the alive we will be able to get the anwers that we need to know. So despite the dangers and challenges we face I think the same as the author we should try are best to find out as much as we can about our sister plant. | 3 |
82f1d5e | Ever since the introduction of cars, there has been an excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are good, but too much isnt as it pollutes the air and makes it hard to breathe that air. Riding a bike to work, or taking a bus, or even walking, instead of using a car helps the environment a lot. Some cities have already seen what extreme air polluton from cars can do. For example, Paris has gotten smog because of so much so much air pollution, smog is extremely hard and very dangerous to breathe. In short, an advantage of limiting car usage is that it is extremely beneficial for the environment as it stops some air pollution.
In the excerpt
Paris bans driving due to smog , Robert Duffer goes on about how Paris is covered with smog due to all the car usage(more so diesel fuel than gasoline). After just one day of the ban, the smog cleared up. This proves how beneficial for the environment limiting car usage is. As time goes on and awareness goes up, people realize how bad for the environment cars are, so as a response, participation in events like Day Without Cars is going up. The difference in the these events make is huge, especially in highly polluted areas like Bogota, Columbia | 2 |
82f301b | Electoral College , whats so great about it? Why should we keep it, whats the point? their are so many things wrong with electoral college that their is really no point in keeping it. according to the passage I read "Does the Electoral Work? in source 2: The Indefensible Electoral College:Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong by:Brad Plumer" you have to vote on a elector that might not even vote for the candidate you want over 60% of voters would prefer a direct vote anyway so... why don't we just do it, with the way we do it now with electoral college mistakes are being made. then we have this winner takes all crap witch is completely unfair too voters.
You have to vote on a elector that might not even vote for the candidate you want...its almost like you're not even voting whats the point in voting if your elector might not even elect your candidate and half the time when you do get to tell them they don't listen and take advantage of their power.
mistakes are being made with this way of election half the time voters cant even control who their electors vote for and sometimes voters get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate... electoral college is too confusing it needs to change.
the electoral college is also unfair due too the winner takes all system in each state. This winner takes all system that we have in each state is horrible completely unfair to the voters why should we even try if we know we cant win?
sure yea that's how we have done it for a long time and i know some people are scared of change but change isn't always necessarily a bad thing.
Just to wrap things up here you have it this is my opinion on electoral college i think it should change imagine how mush better the process would be 60% of us want this anyway... its time for a change. | 3 |
82f3bb7 | The author descided to take a trip to Venus and explore it but he said that he had to face some problems why on Venus because the lack of oxygen and other human resourceses that humans need to stay heathly and alive.
My first reason for why the author said that Venus is hard trying to explore. The supporting detail i had is that earth has enough carbon dioxide so we can live but then if we go to Venus. Venus only has 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets Venus. So then if we were to try to live there it would be tough due to the lack of carbon dioxide.
My second reason my why the author says the dangers it presents. The second detail is that in article is says " that an environment would crush even submarines. So it would be pretty bad there due to the effects we get form the water.
My third reason why the author says that Venus is dangours. In the article it says its get way to hot there for a human can stand the heat. In the article it says" On the planets surface temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit and the temperatures average over 800 degress fahrenheit and the atmosperic pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience.
So that is why i think the author wrote what he wanted is becasue he wanted to show people that Venus is dangerous so people can also see what are the deifferences that earth and venus have. | 3 |
82f4346 | Anyone whould love to vist Venus, but there is some risks when it comes to it. For an example Venus is the second planet from our sun, Venus has the most highest temperature than any other planet, and NASA has an idea for sending humans to study Venus. There's so many things that can put someone in danger or at risk.
First, Venus is the second plant away from Earth. Venus can have alot of intresting things, people could probably live there, but no one has thought about the risks about being there. In the text it says "Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth..." It is more dificult to study Venus knowing how close it is to us. It is more challenging to examine since it's way closer than any other planet.
Second, Venus has the most hightest temperatue than any other planet. In the text it says "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system even though Mercury is closer to our sun" Out of any planet that isn't to close to the sun or Earth had to be the hottest. Would humans be ready if the really going to get sent to Venus be able to go? knowing how hot the temperature is. A humans temperature is 98 degress Fehrenheit. The conditions there are so extreme than humans on Earth like high pressure and heat. The weather is so different and since it is very hot then it is more likely to present "erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes" and more things like that.
Third, NASA has an idea of sending humans to study Venus. How would you react if someone said "Hey, you're going to Venus" like woah. The first that should pop in your head should be to research because you can't just go without knowing what's really going on out there. NASA think that they should send humans out there to study Venus, if it is safe for humans to go. In the text it says "Some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface." There is many ways NASA wants to study Venus by forms of photography and videography, but they cant because they also cannot sample rock, gas from a distance. Someone would really need to get a close up and that where the risks come and no one knows that could happen.
Finally, if someone really wants to study Venus they will need to do a lot of research because this will be a hard mission to complete if they really to want to. Someone who is very brave should go because Venus is a very dangours place to actually study knowing the cons and pros. | 3 |
82ff441 | The "Face on Mars" is a very conterversal subject that has people in awe about the very thought of exteresterial life, but is it really a sign? Many people, and even scientists, think so, but it still isn't convicing enough to many. There are many theories it could be. It could just be natural landforms like a butte or mesa or maybe is just a marking of a impact of somekind that formed the shape of a face coincedently. Like I said before, the story of the "Face on Mars" is very mystery story but I think it is all a joke.
Scientist have gathered many pictures of the "Face on Mars" and have studied them very throughly. One conclusion they came to was that it was a natural landform. The landform they thought it most looked like was like a mesa or butte because of the height of the face is most like a isloated mesa, as said by Jim Garvin. There are many buttes and mesas out around the American West as well, the face being a mesa or butte isn't uncommon. That is one theory scientists think the "Face on Mars" is.
They other theory, that I pose is that it may just be a coincedense that a faced formed because maybe something from outer space like a meteor or asteroid hit the planet at that location. It is possible because the moon and other planet have craters, so why can't Mars. This is the other theory that I think the "Face on Mars" was formed.
In conclusion, the "Face on Mars" is a very conterversal subject. Scientist think it is just landform like a mesa or butte. I think it is a result of a impact of somekind resulting in a "face" on mars. That is why I think aliens didn't create the "Face on Mars". | 3 |
82ff8fe | The Face on Mars was not made from an ancient alian civilization. We have proof of this because our cameras are ten times sharper than the cameras we had to orginally photograph the face, the shadows just create an illusion that the formation is a face, and the Face on Mars has been confirmed to just be a mesa.
The first photo we had of the Face on Mars was taken in 1976 by Viking 1, which would not have had the most advanced cameras. The photo is blurry and unclear, not a very reliable source to base alien belief on. Even the photo in 1998, "snapped a picture ten times sharper than the orginal Viking phtos." Compare the photo from 1976 to the photo taken in 2001. The 2001 photo clearly shows that the Face on Mars is in fact not a face at all. Any belief that the Face on Mars was created by aliens should now be wiped away because of how clearly the photo shows that the Face is just a landform.
When the original photos were taken in 1976, there was the illusion that there was a face staring right back at the Viking 1. Shadows around the Face created this illusion that made it look like and Egyptian Pharaoh. When the 1976 photo was released for people to see, the caption read, "huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." Even the experts immediately recognized the Face on Mars as just a natural landform with shadows.
Though some people believed the Face was an alien artifact, this theory is disproved quickly because in truth the Face on Mars is just a mesa. The Face on Mars is in the area of Mars known as Cydonia. Cydonia is known for having lots of Martian mesas. Martian mesas are very similar to mesas or buttes found in the American West. Chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program Jim Garving quotes, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Which is a lava dome the takes the form of an isolated mesa, and is approximately the same hight as the mesa known as the Face on Mars.
Though some theorists still believe that the Face on Mars was created by aliens, it turns out to be just a Martian equivalent of a mesa. This is proved true by the advanced camera quality, the proof that it was just shadows creating the illusion that the Face on Mars was actually a face, and the fact that the Face has been confirmed to just be a mesa. | 4 |
82ff9ec | In the past, if society was told that cars would be able to drive themselves people would have called you crazy or would have laughed it off,calling it wishful thinking. Throughout life, we as humans have worked towards new advances in technology. We are always looking for a way to make life easier and simpler. The queastion is where so we draw the line. Saftey. Saftey has been a concern through time because we are less independent and have become more dependent on machines that could easily break, causes permanant damage. With this in mind, it is not safe to have drivless cars.
Having driverless cars could be harmful to not only to the passenger, but other drivers as well. The text states, "In reality, Google has had cars that could drive independetly under specific conditions since 2009." If this is the case, why are they just coming out with it. It is probably due to the fact that there are casualties. For example, the passage mentions that they have not fully developed the driverless car to handle complicated traffic issues, which is basically what driving requires. This could definatly result in drivers getting injured. Not only could they cause injures, but they could also cause legal issues.
If one thinks about it, most people don't want to rely on a car's driving if there is a chance it could cause an accident. There are no laws about driverless cars so it could be caos if something goes wrong. What if the car causes an accident because of an malfunction? There is no law about driverless cars, which means it could be blamed on the driver or the manufacturer. These are very concerning points that has to be taken in to consideration. Some may argue that driverless cars are better than human drivers.
Although there are numerous drawbacks to driverless cars, some may say they are better drivers than humans. The passage states," The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." This shows that driverless cars opperate breaks better than humans do.
Although driverless cars are good with brakes, thay can't be relied on enough to put ones life in their hands. The passage states,"They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." This means that even though the point of driverless cars is that humans don't have to drive, we technically still have to drive and stay alert. This seems to defeat the whole purpose of creating driverless cars if it is not actually driverless. Even though we rely on technoloy for various activities, that doesn't mean we have to rely on them to do everything.
The reality is that driverless cars are more trouble than good. They compromise the saftey of people on the road. They also don't have any regulations or laws, which could impact driving and saftey. When taking into account that there are no laws or order for driverless cars, it is no question that driverless cars should not be sold to society. We,as humans, have a responsibiliy to protect and mantain the saftey and life God gave us. | 5 |
82ffec5 | in german suburbs residents are pioneers and they have given up thier cars to stop all the busy crowded parking. even though owning a car is aloud they still dont do it because it is safer for the children and enviroment . they are also trying to put a message put to the world . more than 70 percent of the vaubans famileis do not have cars .
the cars in europe cause a fair percentage of the greenn house gases . passanger cars alone cause 12 perecent of the gases alone . and up to 50 perecent in some car-instensive places in the us . it is better for the inviroment for there tho be less gas emmisions .
in some places such as paris there is so much gasx emisionds that they have banned all driving . the reason being is there is so much smog from vehicals its not healthy to live in or nothing .
In bogota columbia there is a all day car free day . this means the goal for everyone is to do not use a motorized vehicle all day and violtors will be fined 25 dollor fines if they us a vehicles . the hope for that program is to go world wide or to atleast spread to more coumtries.
What the goal is for this passage is to get everyone to go without cars and just use bicycles or walk or somthing along those lines. | 2 |
830530f | Venus exploration I can tell the author cares about venus by putting down many ways humans can exploer it from going there he says it was very worthy of going we would just need a blimp like vehicle too hover over 30 miles above the land becuse the surface of venuse is very hot just in the blimp hovering over 30 miles would be 170 dagrees but where the blimp is sitting its at sae levels on earth. They are finding out ways too make electronics go onto venus because there is a lot of danger if we put a human on venus 170 dagrees is too hot for the human body unless they got the blimp at freezing tempatures the people inside will burn righht up blood will boil and people will get heat strokes. But if we put electronicson the planet that can survive the tempatures we might not have a problem with people being burned alive and we could actually exploer the lands of Venus we could make vheacles out of strong silicone for this mission it would be easier too make vehicle out of the stuff. | 1 |
8306a62 | Listen Frank, The picture we saw on mars was not built by a alien!! Jenny yes it was! If it wasn't whats your proof?
Well Frank, in April Mars global surveyor flew over Cydonia himself for the first time because he didn't thinkit was real and he took his camera that was ten times sharper than the other viking photo's. When the better picture of the "face" appeared on the JPL website it revealed a natural land form and there was no alien, monument at all.
Frank, i was right and you were wrong. Frank says" Well i was
wrong because i thought
Mars global surveyor went back with a better camera and the picture actually shows the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa so i guess you were right Jenny. See Frank i told you there was just a natural landform. Sorry jenny i thought i had it right. Well so now you know there was just a natural landform and even with a better camera all they saw was a natural landform. | 1 |
8309154 | Using Facial Action Coding System technology would not be useful in a classroom due to each student learning in a different way and teachers not being able to target to each individual student's best way of learning as well as the constantly changing emotions of students.
Because teachers are not able to adjust their teaching style for each individual student, students would continue to be unhappy and bored during class and no problem would be solved. According to Dr. Huang, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." While this is true, students are taught by humans, not computers, and education is in a group setting. A teacher cannot change their lesson just because one student is bored or confused. They may be able to work with them one-on-one later, but changing how the lesson is being done can affect the ability of the other students to learn the lesson.
In younger grades, students often change emotions very quickly due to a lack of maturity and focus. For older students, they are often tired from lots of homework, sports, and early start times. With the Facial Action Coding System, negative emotions or quickly changing emotions would cause a problem in a school scene. Dr. Huang stated, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. So, computers need to understand that, too."
The facial expressions being read from a tired high school student could cause this system to be constantly trying to find a way to teach the student that he or she would enjoy, only leading to unproductivity.
Using the Facial Action Coding System in schools would cause more problems than it would solve. Students would still be in a similar setting in classes due to their teachers not being able to adjust their teaching style or lession for one specific student. Students would also lose more time for learning due to their constantly changing emotions and the software attempting to change the learning style to match them. Using the Facial Action Coding System would have a negative impact both students and their education. | 3 |
830ada6 | The author claim is that exploring venus is worth pursuing even tho its every dangerous. The author suggests that studying venus is a great chance to learn and find new things and supports alot of theses claims by giveing some great support on why its a good idea. The author starts by explaning that venus is referrd to as Earh's twin in maney cases cause its the closest planet to the Earth in terms of density and size. Venus also nickednamed the "Evening Star" is one of the planets closest to the Earth in distance as also Mars is in that distance aswell. All three planets are around and orbit the sun at different speeds says the author in paragraph 2."Often referred to as Earth's twin Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size and occasionally the closet in the distnace too". "Earth,Venus,Mars,our planetary negihbor,orbit the sun at different speeds". The author starts giving his part on why we should study and travel venus by saying its the planet the may have once been the most Earth like planet in the solar system long ago and was probbley covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like how earth is today. Venus still has some known features that still resemble Earth today like the planet haveing a rocky sediment and includs things such as valleys,moutains,craters. Altho Venus does seem nice its very dangerous to travel there and is not safe for humans at the moment. Scientest have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on Venus but no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Venus also has a thick atomosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide that sarounds Venus. The even more challeging thing is the clouds that are highly corrosive of sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere and the fact that the planets surface temperature is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit makeing these far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth as said by the author in paragraph 3"a thick amtosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dixiode blankets Venus"."Even more challeing are the clouds of highely corrosive sulfuric acid in venu,s atomsphere". Traveling to venus seems too dangerous but the author gives some ideas on how we can possably make traveling to Venus safer. One of these ideas come from The National Aeronautics and Space Adinistration also known as (NASA).This idea is for sending humans to study Venus NASA,s soluiton to the harsh Venus conditions of its surface is to make a blimp like vehicle that would hover 30 or so miles above the planet. This would allow scientists to avoid the unfirendly ground conditions of Venus and with the only minor problem being the air would still be a little hot at 170 degrees Fahrenheit but the air pressure being close to Earth at sea level. This is one of the maney ideas on how to vist the planet Venus and its values says the author."Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value,not only because of the insigt to be gaind on the planet itself,but also beacause human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors". | 4 |
830d3bf | The author effectively communicate his claim that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth like planet in our solar system. "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. Some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simualting the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such condition". "By comparsion, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces". These evidence proves how NASA are trying different approaches and they are making different kind of new technology so they can withstand the harsh condition of Venus, and striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. | 2 |
83147ff | The use of techonology to read the expressios of students in classroom is valuable because it is very helpful for all students when they need to look up something. They can find everything very quickly, and more easy with using the techonoly.
As the article said "Imagine being able to detact exactly how other people are felling, even when they are trying to hide their emitions." We can look up at the techlongy to tell how many percent happy, disgusted, fearful, and angry on the imagine. From the text state, "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearfulnpm and 2 percent angry."
Techonoly today becomes very important, and useful for all of the peoples in the world. They have everything, they have all information for us to look up if we need which very helpfuf our works, and it makes our work become easier. From he text states, "'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts."
It can also help people relax after a long working, and stressful, or school. We can use it to play a game, watch a movie, or listen to music to help us relax. From the text states, "the same technology cab make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video games or video surgery." | 2 |
8319ef9 | In the article titled The Challenge Of Exploring Venus, the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers of its enviorment by, letting the reader know how much we can accomplish by exploring a new planet similar to earth, and by letting the readers know that our travels as humans should not be limited by any dangers.
in the article the author lets the readeer know how much we can accomplish by exploring a new planet similar to earth by first, explaining that we can discover things that we havent discovered before. In the article it states. "NASA is workinf on other approaches to study Venus For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface." By reading this sentence from the article you can see that scientist are trying to create an object strong enough to resist Venus's enviorment. By doing this you can discover new life or objects that we do not have on Earth that might help.
Another way the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers is by
letting the readers know that our travels as humans should not be limited by any dangers. The author talks about how us as humans should overcome our fears and challenegs to reach new discoverys. In the article it states. " Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." aftere reading this sentence you can conclud that the author wants the readed to expand his mind beyond the horizan meaning, we as humans need to explore more of of where we live and not let our fears get the best of us.
In conclusion, the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers of its enviorment by, letting the reader know how much we can accomplish by exploring a new planet similar to earth, and by letting the readers know that our travels as humans should not be limited by any dangers. | 4 |
831d17e | As a scientist at NASA and from the research made by other scientists here at NASA I can tell that this here face is nothing more than just a landform. The Face is just a natural landform, it is not created by aliens. Although many people would love to think that the Face wa created by aliens, it is not. The face is widely spred out as far as 2 miles wide. This enomous head has cought a lot of media attention such as being in a Hollywood film, appearing in books, magzines, radio talk shows, and even radio talk shows.
This landform has become a pop icon, but even with all of this attention it doesn't change the fact that it is nothing more than just another mysterious looking landfrom on Mars. "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, reavling . . . a natural landfrom. There was no alien monument after all."
After 22 years, from this first 1976 Viking 1 photograph pf the Face of Mars there was a picture that was taken of the same face ten times sharper than the original that blew away scientists and web surfers showing that there was no alien monument after all. This shows that the Face of Mars is nothing more than a natural landform on Mars. | 2 |
83213c9 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author makes sure the reader knows how much of a 'challenge' a trip to Venus could be. Despite this challege, the auther suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit and may soon be in our future.
Venus is one of the brightest points of light in the sky and the second closest planet to the sun. Venus is nickmaed the "Evening Star" becasue of its incredible light that even "an amateur stargazer" could easily spot. Venus is a mezmerizing planet that witholds many adventures, many that NASA has tried to complete but failed.
Venus is often reffered to as Earth's "twin" as it is the most similar to
Earth in terms of density and size. Not to mention that because of its speed, sometimes Venus is the closest planet to Earth. Because of Venus' 'close-ness', there have been many missions and spacecrafts sent to Venus in order to try to explore the planet despite the dangers. Every mission to Venus has been unmanned because of Venus's reputation of being inhospitable.
Venus has many extreme conditions that make it very challenging to explore. A fraction of these challenges include a "thick 97 percent carbon dioxide blanket that makes up Venus' atmosphere, clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid, over 800 degree heat, an atmopheric pressure 90 times greater that what humans are used to on Earth, erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning storms."
All of these challenges would make anyone run away from ever trying to explore Venus, but the author mentions thst making this exploratory trip to Venus would provide incredible insight into what our "twin" planet has to offer.
Many scientists and astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may have once been "the most Earth-like planet in the Solar System". Venus was most likely covered in oceans that very well could have supported many forms of life. In addition to this, some of Venus' features vastly remain analogous to those of Earths. These features include "a surface of rocky sediment, valleys, mountains, and craters."
The author suggest that Venus would be a worthy pursuit despite the dangers, and they are not alone. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been experimenting with how they could possibly send humans to go and study Venus. One of NASA's solutions for surviving the dangerous, hostile conditions is allowing scientists to float approximatly 30 miles over Venus' landscape.
This is not a 100 percent reliable solution as the temperature would still be a roaring 170 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, being 30 miles above Venus would offer a much better air pressure close to that of sea level on Earth. Though it seems impossible, a trip to Venus very well may be in our future as these conditions are indeed survivable for humans.
NASA's other possible approaches include simplified electronics. These simplified electronics are made of silicon carbide and have been repeatedly tested in chambers that simulate Venus' chaotic conditions on its surface.
Another possible solution takes a trip down memory lane with old technologoy called mechanical computers. These mechanical computers were first envisioned in the 1800s and were key during the 1940s in World War ll. The mechanical computer makes calculations by using gears and levers and do not require any form of electronics like the modern day computer.
These devices would allow high exposure to Venus' harsh conditions without having to risk the equiptment or lives needed to get the kind of information that would be very valuable. Mordern technology would not survive a trip to Venus like these new-old machines can. Modern computers are extreme in cases of power, flexibility, speed, and looks, but would never dream to see a day on Venus. Modern technology tends to be more delicate while "systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces."
The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" prove these dangerous challenges are nothing against the value of the worthy pursuit to Venus. If NASA were to send a successful mission to Venus, we would gain an abundence of insight from the planet and the journey to get to Venus. Not to mention the wonders of human curiosity that lead us into making many more equally intimidating adventures into space travel.
The author explains that "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts, but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." If humans are able to persevere through the many challenges of a mission to Venus, the dangers would hardly compare to the knowledge and experience gained from such an adventure. | 5 |
8323832 | Will Earth always be our home? As time goes on and we start noticing the effects human life has had on earth, we may start to consider other planets as a new home. As poeple start to brainstorm about the planets in our solar system, we have noticed Venus, our sometimes closest planet. The passage mentions many ideas on starting life there and what it would take. The author explains, in a nonbias way, why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite dangers because he lists the dangers and risks as well as the reason why we should look into emploring the planet.
He mentions the early life of Venus and how it was similar to Earth in many ways. The author says "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."( TCOEV, 4) The author mentions the landscape structure of both planets today, metioning the similarty in rocky sediment, valleys, mountains, and craters. The author mentions the similaries with a sense of hope for humans to start looking into moving to Venus for a new home. The passage also mentions the disctance factor considering travel time, given the fact that it is near us.
Risks and challenges for this idea are also metioned by the author. The author mentions the clouds and the 97 percent carbon dioxide that blankets Venus. The surface of the planet, as mentioned in the passage, has an atmospheric pressure that is 90 times greater than what we have here on earth. The surface of venus has the hotest temperature compared to any other planets. These and many other conditions aren't conditions that human life can withstand.
The pros of emploring the planet are also portryed. The reader is given hope by mentioning NASA's approaching to the planet. NASA would like to allow their scientists to "float above the fray" thirty miles above the planets surface. It is mentioned that the conditions humans would have to go thorugh may be rough, but survivable. Though providing insight of this planet would take challenges scientists are willing to take the risk.
The author mentions the pros and cons of the reasons why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit even after the many dangers metioned in a non-bias way. The author provides the reader with their own option to generate their own opinion given the facts on the dangers and the postive view on going to the planet Venus. Although moving to another planet may seen crazy to some, others think that it is something we should start to consider. Exploring unknown territory may be scary, but what do we have to gain if we do not choose to look into the many ideas of going to Venus. | 4 |
832611d | Being a Seagoing Cowboy can be very hard, but it can also be super fun I enjoyed being a Seagoing Cowboy, and there are lots of reasons why. I think it is a great idea to participate in this program. Here are a few reasons why I think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
One of the best parts of participating in this program is visiting lots of new places. I was a small town boy and it was very interesting to get to go to all of these places. One of the places I went was Venice, Italy. I also got the opportunity to go to Greece and see the Acropolis.
Another great part of participating in the program is that you can make lots of new friends. On the return trips I played lots of games with the other cowboys. This helped me make lots of friends. Some of the games we played were baseball, volleyball, and table-tennis.
A very important part on participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program was helping countries that needed help. Lots of countries were tring to recover from World War 2. It was very rewarding to know that this is helping lots of people. It is also good to know that you are the ones helping and you know that these countries are getting what they need.
I think it is a very good idea to join the Seagoing Cowboys program. It is rewarding, fun, and takes you places you would never think you could go to. Joining this program is a very great thing to do. | 3 |
8327ea8 | The Electoral college has been around for a long time but, do we really need it? Is it your votes that affecting your next president. Under the electoral college it is not. The electoral college says that voters do no vote for the president but for a slate of the electors, which elect the presidents. We need to kept the voting process we have now so that way we don't arguments throughout the states. In the electoral college yoor vote is sent to someone not holding public office.
When you vote you are getting a slate of the vote and to feel that their vote does not matter, that the new president will have no regard for their interest,is he really your president. The way we vote today is not that best we can do in some ways. I think that we need to have all the voters votes count towards the president that they want. We should let the people vote for who they want and not for someone else to vote for you. The constituiton says "We the people, By the people,For the people." So we should vote for who we want to represent us. The electoral college is based of a winner take all method of awarding electoral votes induces the canidates.
Another factor that is wrong with the electoral college is that bigger states like Californa get more votes than Columbia. So for example, say that Californa gets 45 electoral votes and then Columbia has the same amount of voters vote for the president they want they will only gte about 5 to 8 because of the state size. Once again restating that we need to vote for we want to and have everyone's vote coung not just the votes added up and then shrunk to electoral votes. The electoral college does have some help in some ways like in a run-off election. The electoral college help control that and produces a clear winner.
The elecoral college does some advantages too, but it still has disadvantges. The electoral college is the president wins by popular vote. The electoral college has a total of 538 electors but, sometimes the electors don't always listen to their voters and vote for who they want not who the state wants. The president has their own group of electors which have been chosen by the canidate's political party, but certain state lwas vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. The election is every four years on the first Tuesday of November, which gives you time to think who you want to be the next president and cast a vote, but with the electoral college your vote could not really count. Have knowing that your vote may not count will make you upset and rethink about voting.
In conclusion, the eletoral college has some good things that does help us but, it has bad things too that make is sadband angry. We decide who we want to run our country but, e need to think about how the voting process really works. I am only one person but, one person can make a difference. So just remeber on thing 'We the people, By the people, For the people." | 2 |
833118e | Many students take their own charge in school, but that often means they hide important information from others; for instance, when they are not sure about something or when they are tired and find it hard to focus. These types of situations are hard for schools to deal with. However, there is some technology that could help. Made by Dr. Paul Eckman, the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) uses major muscles in the face to calculate a person's emotions. This technology has been used in many places, but one of the big places it could be used is the classroom. As long as it is used right, the Facial Action Coding System could greatly improve student interest, focus, and clear up confusion in different lessons. The uses start with student interest.
School often is not the most exciting place in the world, especially in higher grades. The biggest argument for this is that "they don't need interest in what they learn, they are adults." However, that is not completely true. Anyone can become uninterested in something, and it can impact how much effort they put into it. That's where the FACS comes in. It could recognize when a student is uninterested in something and find some way to fix that. Ways to make something interesting vary by student, so building a plan and relationship with the student is an important part to making it work properly. Some people will likely say that doing this is way more work than it should be for something so small, but they do not realize how big that actually is. Everything a student learns is going to impact their lives in some way, and it's a school's job to make sure this sticks with the student. If it does not, who knows what will happen. Make sure to remember that uninterest isn't the only way a student can lose what they are supposed to get from school.
With students having to wake up early and do homework almost every day, it can be hard to get the right amount of sleep. This can possibly lead to a lack of focus if what the student is learning in school is not engaging enough. Many people could call this a lack of focus. Losing focus in the middle of a class often leads to forgetting almost all the information from the class that day. If we could detect drowsiness in class, the information could be used to try and talk to the child about a better sleep schedule. If communication with the child on this front wouldn't be possible, the teacher could try and find some way to increase interactivity in such a way that increases focus for most students in the classroom. One common argument I've seen against this is that it is an unnecessarily annoying affair, but there's nothing really backing this up. As long as it is implemented correctly, any major annoyance can be avoided. Both of these first two reasons had a lot to do with the student personally, but sometimes it has more to do with the lesson and how understandable it is.
Confusion is a strange mix of anger and sadness when a fact or solution cannot be understood properly, or a different fact or solution was understood before and a new fact or solution is taking its place now. It is a common emotion in schools, and could be avoided easily with the FACS. When the FACS detects that a student is confused, the content is broken down for the student in a way that is easier to understand. The content can be delivered at the student's own pace, in an attempt to keep the student from getting even more lost. A system similar to this could save many students from getting bad grades. Now someone is probably saying "Why can't the students ask about the problem when they get confused," and this is a very good point. However, it is also an easy point to shoot down. Many students find the prospect of asking questions scary, especially with the idea of a "bad question" or "stupid question" and personal embarassment. With this idea in place, they wouldn't have to ask publically or get shamed by the teacher for not understanding the subject. Instead, the entire proccess could be private. It would eliminate confusion in many subjects.
And so, with the elimination of confusion in the classroom, the increase of focus during lessons, and the implementation of systems to increase student interest, the FACS could be a lifesaver for many students in school. However, with the cost of implementing such a system likely being outrageous, the chance of this being implemented is low. Nevertheless, we can always try. | 6 |
8336072 | The electorial college is a bad thing because voters aren't voting directly for the candidates. Voters are only voting for a slate of electors that then vote for a president. Uninformed people might be mislead as to what they are actually voting for. The election should be changed to popular vote because the electorial college is not votiong directly on a matter.
While big states have more say in what happens, small states were created to have just as much power. There are few states with over twenty electorial votes, and twenty votes is a lot. But, there are far more small states(in terms of population) than big states. Having many states with only 7-16 beats few big states with 20-55. Some candidates won the popular vote, but lost the electorial vote due to what states they were popular in. This sways the actual results of voting and messes up what should be based on raw voting numbers. Having electors making the desision for the state is another reason why certain candidates lose.
Some people in America don't know the difference between the popular vote and electorial vote. This can result in people being mislead. If a candidate were to visit California and make a good impression, that state would have a higher chance of being in that candidates favor. If another candidate were to go to Montana, make a good impression just like the first one, he would have the advantage for that state. Both candidates put in the same effort, but the first one would have many more electorial votes than the second mainly because of how electorial votes work.
The winner takes all rule is also in some way bad. Candidates would be competing over larger states like California and New York, If the voting within that state came down to a 49 to 51 percent vote, one candidate would be so close but acheive absoloutly nothing. Each candidate SHOULD get whatever votes they earned to make the voting the way it should be and more fair.
The electorial college is in many ways imperfect, which is why popular vote would be more efficient and more of an actual competition. Popular vote is also a way to make voting simple. | 4 |

833c539 | The authors claim is that Venus is a worthy pursuit depite the danger. He thinks that we should be able to go and come back. For example, in the artical "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it says "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." Next it said "This is saying that they might not be able to make thing great and work out the way they wanted it to be but they still made the things happen and take the time they needed. They also think it would be a good thing to do because they have seen things go down and not work like they wanted it to. They also said "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limmited by danger and douts but should be expanded to meet the vary edges of imagination and innovation. "They want the things to go as planed and they want us to see things we have never seen and to go to places we have yet not discover and known about.The author also wants us to know what they are working on and what they think about what will happpen later on in life and see that we will be able to do things that others have not done in the past. NASA also wants people to travle and get to see the things we have not seen before. The author wants us to know what is going on in our daily life. The author also wants us to see what we have to do later in life and see that we can make things work and we should not be ashamed about it. NASA wants to be able to see if we can live in Venus and countine life where there is no life. It can be hard to make all the things we will need but at the end
we have a place to live. The author also said the NASA has been thinking about it for a sometime now. | 2 |
833f55c | Driverless Cars Are Not Good!
Driverless cars means a car that does not need a human to control of the car. Driverless cars are not safe because you can't tell if something bad can happen to it or not. If it's safe, why aren't there any in the public. Even the producers of the cars are not 100% sure of the condition. The car can't deal with big problems like; dealing with complicated traffic issues. It is better to use the now days cars than the driverless. It would cost a lot more than the cars that we use now.
The driverless cars are not trustworthy. What if you fell asleep while they car can't deal with the traffic issues? The cars are not use yet where the people like us can see it. What if the car doesn't hit the brake when you're about to crash? Some people are more confortable when they drive.
It may be the double price of the cars that we're using right now. It is better to have Honda or Toyota than the driverless car because you have the control of the car. It is important to have control of the car because you might want to change your location when you're driving. You save more money. You can feel more better if have control. If you're on driverless car; I am sure that you would feel scared.
Some people feel more confortable when they drive because they don't trust the driver. Technology is high but is it high enough to drive but it's self? If you're really sleepy and the driverless car is in the situation of traffic issues; what you it do? You might as well just crash. If you drive the normal cars it is safer and better. It is safer because you have control of it. If you're too sleepy, you can take a nap first.
Finally, driverless cars are cars that is not controlable. You don't know if its safe or not. There is no benefits; it's just that it is better because it uses less fuel than the amount we're using right now. Drive normal cars are better because it cost less. If you have control of the car; you feel more confidence. | 2 |
834163b | There are quite a few advantages in limiting car usage. You may think thats a very silly idea but honestly you have no idea. lets look at the bright side of this. If we limit car usage there will be less money waste, because you wont have to worry about spending your money on gas. Instead you can use it for something more valuable. Also in the article they mention this..."Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden inthis experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders." They dont really even use the cars so why have them if to some people in French they are useless.
Also as a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here."When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heidrun Walter, a media trainerand mother of two. So now i know that not everyone needs a car most people dont. They think that us having only taxi's and busses things would be a better community and society to us, but i disagree. We wouldn't be able to get from one place to another as fast as we can, because of how there are people going everywhere to different places. So im glad we dont have only busses and taxi's.
"In the United States, the Enviromental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduce" communities, and legislators are starting to act,if cautiosuly. In previous bills, 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport. Can yall believe that for the first time, two other Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar, joined the event. Meaning they are for getting rid of cars. Also as of Apirl 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995, Part of the explination is because Americans could not afford new cars, and the unemplyed weren't going to work anyway.
New York's new bike-sharing program and its skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorities, as do a proliferation of car-sharing programs across the nation. Also "a study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009..."thats crazy to think about that now we are in 2014 and i believe that number has most likely gone up. We need to fix it as soon as we can to prevent harm to our sociecty, because the younger ones have more reckless drivers than the older ones, and adults.
Finally, those are my reason and my explinations on why i think cars should stop because of the harm to our community and how we should start using bikes or even walk from point a to point be,or use the busses either one will safe us the gas mopney for example. Also it would prevent less deaths because there wouldn't be so many cars all together at once | 3 |
8344fff | I think that the auther is right about studying venus is worth pursuit despite the dangers it presents, because if Venus is so close to the sun it and is one of the hottest planest because is close to the sun, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various form of life just like the Earth.
Venus is similar like the earth they have valleys,mountains,and craters. But we don't know if they have food. they mayhave alliens because of the tempertures. And it can be dangerous to the Earth because we are the closest one to Venus.
scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks or maybe we should think of them as challenges. Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contibute meaningfully to our knowledges of venus.
NASA has the power and money to send people and invest about all these things.
NASA has one particulary compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus.
NASA's posssible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to flot above the roiling Venusian landscape.
Or maybe Venus is just a start because of his nickname and is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky.
Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system,even though Mercury is closer to oour sun.
Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present addicional impediments like erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes,and frequent ligtning strikes to probes seeeking to land on its surface.
NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientist to flot above the fray.
Venus i the closet planet to the Earth in term of density and size and occasionally the closest in distance to. Should be more easy to study but the value of returning to Venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission.
we should invest if in Venus exist phone or tablet or system that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure,heat,and other forces.
we all have questions like "if Venus move around just like the Earth does".
We all want to konw "if Venus produce live".
we should keep invest why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus
The temperature that Venus has is too hot for humans is more extreme that anything and the weather present additional impediments like erupting volcans.
Why venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth.
My conclusion is that yes we shoud study Venus because it may have humans been in their planet, because they have water,sun,just like the Earth does. and our travels on Earthand beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubst but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. And sent more people to Venus and see what they have as a planet. | 2 |
8345960 | In the short story " The Challenger of Exploring Venus," the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite it many dangers,beause in paragraph 4 the author states that Venus is "a sister planet," and also" astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system." The author is worthy os studying venus because venus is a planet were there could mostlikly have human on the planet, with the new electronis NASA are trying to use to start studying Venus could help. stated in paragraph 7 "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 chais of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions" is showing readers that even with the dangers getting
Venus to be a planet with living things and people could possibly happen in the long run. Also even if there is dangerous human curiosity can always over power the dangerous, but all the insight ,and electronics being tested to go there with no problem can expand our imaginations,and innovations. The author was trying to explain that " Our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts". | 2 |
834c55a | Venus needs to be explored to scientists because, they are fascinated by Venus, long ago it was probably covered in big oceans, and thriving life. The planet has valleys, mountains, and craters as the text states... these are all physical features compelling that Venus was once thriving. Venus is facscinating due to the nature of its build... It has many physical features that earth has!
Scientists will one day make it to Venus, they are very focused on it, what could Venus bring back to earth, what could Venus do for life, and what was Venus like? These are all scientific questions that scientists vow to discover. They are making it scientifically productive as the text states, "Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth" this means that Venus was holding life, in the text is says "The value of returning to Venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and productive?" so this shows that scientists are very well trying there best, and devoting hours into figuring out venus. Although many space shuttles without humans have landed on Venus, they have all burned within 2 hours, and been completely abolished! Venus can bring us many things to history along with knowledge... if there was life there, how did they live, how did they thrive, what caused Venus to not continue thriving? These questions will all be answered one day. NASA is working on other approaches to study Venus as stated in the text... NASA is testing differnet conditions doing simulations, there are more fields of technology they are looking back at! Devices that were first envisioned in the 1800s, and they played a role in the 1940s.
In conclusion, striving to meet Venus has its values, not only the insights, but human curiosity will lead them into intimidating endeavors. Travel on earth and beyon should not be limited by dangers or doubts, but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination along with innovation as the text states. | 2 |
834ec54 | There are many pros to the proposition of having a "driverless" car sometime in the future. People can have a more reliable transportation system. These cars would sooner or later replace public transportation systems.
There are also many cons to this situation, and this is why I am againt this car. Let me explain to you why.
In the passage "Driverless Cars Are Coming" it explains the pros and cons for having this car around. One good thing about the car is that it would run on half of the fuel that is used today. But, these so called "driverless" cars aren't really even driverless.
In the passage it tells us that these cars can't drive through complicated traffic isssues, roadwork, and can't pull out of driveways. I for one think that this can be very dangerous. People could easliy forget that these cars aren't meant for things like that. There is also a possiblity of the car malfuntioning on the road.
Later on in the passage it says that in many states research on "driverless" cars are illegal. There's good reasoning behind this. These cars can't be on the road until they are proven safe. Some people might complain about this, but overall its about being safe on the road.
There are still a possiblity that this car could end up on the road some day, but there would have to be new laws made for driving on the road. There's still one question that I ask. Whose fault will it be when someone gets into an accident while the car malfunctions, yours or the manufacturer's? | 3 |
8355126 | The article of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is that for along time every spaceship that would try to explore Venus would not survive all of the landing everytime it goes to the planet. And the planet is right next door to Earth up in space, and every other planet are always going around the Sun in different speed and direction at different times. The reason why every spaceship didn't land on the planet is because the whole planet don't have any gravity form like Earth does. The author supports this idea about the studie of Venus is a worthy pursuits the despite of the dangers is that the aurthor has been studying all of the plantes for along period of time. All of the temperature on the planet is different but it can be also dangers because you wouldn't know how to survive on the planet without speciel stuff that you would need to live. This explanation of the evidencefrom the article supports my claim is that you have to have almost everything that you need for the whole trip to that planet, and there is a lot of tricky turns and paths that you have to know what you are looking for. | 1 |
8357eeb | Astrology is a complicated field for many scientist to study. Scientist have been attempting to study different planets for many reasons. One great accomplishment many astrologist attemp is finding a way for life to reach these planets. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author reveals the many complicated reasons man can not reach Venus. The author reveals the dangerous aspect of heat and radiation. These dangers have set scientis back, but with many different ideas they are still striving to reach Venus. The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" emphasizes many valuable claims for the reasoning to explore Venus.
The author explains why scientist strive to study venus. Venus is refered to as Earth's "Twin" because it is closest to us in terms of distance and size and density. Scientist want to study it because, "the planet has a surface of roky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. This simular characteristics facinate scientis. Scientist want to find a way to reach Venus inorder to study it Earth like characteristics.
The author also emphasizes the issues with their aspiration to reach Venus. The biggest issue that scientis face is the issue of heat and radiation on the planet. The author reveals, "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. Because of this environment no man would be able to land on Venus and all spacecrafts do not surrvive. This invironment would liquify any metal. Even with these extrieme conditions scientist are determined to find a way.
The author explains how scientist have still attempted to find a solution to these issues. One idea scientis have is to send men to the planet but not allow them to land on the planet itself. The author explains that the scientists idea is to, "allow scientists to float above the fray." With this solution scientis would still be unable to land on the planet but are able to make observations from above. The author continues to share how scientis are not giving up and continuing to find a solution for scientis to study rock, setiment, and more. One of these ideas include, "simplified electronis made of silicon carbide." This has been tested in Venus like conditions and have lasted for three weeks. With this experiement scientist are able to come closer and closer to a solution. Scientist continue to find a solution for reaching Venus.
The author reveals throughout the article that it is important for scientist to explore Venus. Although there are many challenges to the exploration the author reveals that this should not stop scientist. Scientis will remain curious of the planet and eager to discover a way to reach the planets surrface. With studying Venus scientist are able to make connections between Earth and Venus. Scientis belive that Venus once looked like Earth and with discoveries on the planet scientist can draw conclusions about what happened on Venus. Venus is a complicated mysterious planet and scientist are eager to reveal it. | 4 |
8358b15 | Driverless cars should be apart of everyday technology. Just as smart phones and robots become the norm, diverless cars are soon to follow; and, while people are soon to resent the ideas of a driverless car, they ignore the benefits and superiority of such an advance.
Driverless cars aren't completely driverless. This is adetail many are quick to overlook. In complete honesty, this is actually beneficial. While the car does the easier work of navigating through regular traffic and clear roads, it requires the driver's attention on more pressing issues such as construction or slick roads. This builds on a driver's sense of awareness, enabling them to be more skilled.
Another benefit is the increasment of safety. Drivers who are frequent to texting and driving are imediately pulled from the screen of their smart phone to the attention of their surrounding by the simple gestures frm the car. This means less accidents on the driver's end.
However, there is also a bad side to driverless vehicles. Humans may be prone to ignoring or missing the signals given by the car to take over. This could result in damage and/or injuries. There could also be a malfunction in the car making a signal delayed or not even appear at all. These are a few holes that make people doubt the effeciancy of this technology.
But no matter the bad, there are always positives that shine through. Driverless cars are the future. There is no way to avoid advancing. As the old sayinf goes, "Out with the old, in with the new." | 3 |
835a6a9 | I think that driverless cars would be useless, the reason that I think this is because "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldnt drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?" Most people( mostly teenagers) like to go joyriding with there friends or just drive around town to blow off some steam.
Another reason that I believe that driverless cars are a bad idea is because what is the user of the car falls asleep and doesnt awaken whenever the car alerts them that they need to take over in a potentially dangoures situation. "In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents.
This means the driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when there is a possibly dangours situation. These necessitates of the the car being ready to quickly get the drivers attention whenever a problem occurs."
Another reason is that these vehicals could be extermly costly for the consumer's. All the technology that will be needed to be placed into this car will be costly not only for the company but will also be for the customers. There are also many problems with these cars considering that we do not have all the tech needed for them, Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved.
In conclusion I believe that driverless cars should not be mass produced. | 3 |
835a789 | "Making Mona Lisa Smile" is about how a computer can detect emotions from a picture or person. In this passage, the author explains how this new software is able to detect emotions. "New software has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving emotions of others." This new software is called Facial Action Coding System. The passage states, "This new software, the Facial Action Coding System, has promising applications for a variety of industries." The software detected in the Mona Lisa painting that she is "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry."
There are specific steps on how this software works. "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face." The software detects emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal." Most people can tell how their friend is feeling based on their facial expression. The passage says," By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions."
The new technology is surprising. The text states, "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." New technology is able to detect human emotions, even when the person is hiding them. " To an expert, faces do not lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity is not being truthful." The computer software can detect human emotions from paintings, picture, and in person. | 1 |
8371fe7 | The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit is because in the passage, he explains on how log he has been studying it and at the beginning called it an "Evening Star" because it one of the brightest points of light, giving more specific examples on why its more worthy and how important it is to study it immediately to know what else that it might do.
Another valuble reason that it is important for them to study and examine Venus even more is that Venus is the closest planet near Earth. But, also knowing that both Earth and Venus have travelled around the sun at various different speeds. In the passage, it says " These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times Venus. Because Venus is sometimes right around the corner- in space terms- humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world." This is showing on how hard that they have worked on study on venus to know more on its whereabouts and how dangerous it can be sometimes.
In my conclusion, this is all shows all why people of Earth want to study Venus so badly and knowing on how dangerous it can really be on studying the planet. For example, on the planet, that it has a very, thick atmosphere which is almost 97% carbon dioxide on it, having highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere, and the temperature being at 800 degrees fahrenheit. This giving out a reason on why it is dangerous to enter Venus, but still wanting a chance to explore the planet. | 2 |
8377d52 | I personally think that we should work to achieve the goal of driverless cars. If we were to have driverless cars, there would be far less traffic accidents. There would be no reason to need to get a speeding ticket and it would save the mojourity of people a significate amount of money. Like it said in the passage it would half the fuel needed. I agree with their argument accept for the fact that the passage stated that it should be only puplic transportation.
The fact that google has a car that is opperated by a computer most of the time shows that we are well on our way to achiving the goal of driverless vehicals. Even though there are times that you have to drive yourself, it is very close.
The problem with having autonomous vehicals is that they would not have the same capibalities as a person. The are times that ther are paths or roads are not able to be driven except by a person. If the road is badly damaged, you can't drive normally or you will have the risk of damaging your car and needing alot of money to repair it.
In conclusion, I think that we should further advance towards the goal of driverless vehicals but keep the availabillty to give the driver a choice if they want to drive themselves. | 2 |
8379b43 | There are many people in this world that want change and that includes me, if you would take five minutes out of your day to listen to what I have to say.
I think the United States Of America should change to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. The Electoral College has been here for countless years and many people would be dissapointed that it's gone, people would drowl over it for a very long time, but there are good and bad avantages for both circumstances. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President, that can sum up if someone wins or loses, a big disadvantage in the longrun. Over 60% of voters would perfer a direct election, if we got that voters would not be pressured at all and would have a very good vote that can be proud of.
There all lots of things wrong with the Electoral College System in my opinon, like that when you vote for your President, your also choosing the electors that come along with him/her. There have way over the amount of problems with electors over the past year and it is a huge problem that only some people have noticed. What if there is a prospect of a tie in the electoral vote, that would lead to big time problems and there is a severe chance it will happen. In the United States there are millions of people voting and there not making the votes they really want because the electors.
At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters, if someone is favored the outrageous voters know about the winner-take-all system in each state. The Electoral College System is messing our society up every 4 years, its unfair, outdated, and irrational in so many ways. For an example, in the 2000 U.S presidential race, Al Gore received more indiviual votes then George W. Bush nationwide, but Bush won the election, receiving 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266. Don't get me wrong Bush was a great president, but facts are facts. | 3 |
837a95a | that we should change the election by popular vote for the president of the united states. The reason why its better to change the vote because it is easier to vote for the president. Back then the the people didn't get treated equal it was the seperate race and that it was by state law. That during the electoral collegeit was unfair to other people but that did change when they change by voteing the president. In 2012 the people voted for obama it was 61.7 of the people who voted for the president and they compared it to rommey votes it was 51.3 that voted for him. its better to vote during the electoral college because the votes is mostly by gae 18 and above to vote.
the electoral college it stores some of the weight in the political balance in that large state. In electoral college is the method of selecting the president my turn off potential voters for the candidate who has no hpe of carrying their state-democrats in Texas. back in 1960 segregationists in louisana legislature nearly secceeded in replacing the democratic electors. The most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. if the vote is a tie they move it would be thrown to the huse of representatives where the state delegations vote on the president.
when the president give thrie speech it helps them so see what they have done and the people have voted is it much easier to see how they be able to see who is going to be the next president. that they said electoral college is unfair,outdated,and irrational. | 2 |
837ac19 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called Facial Action Coding System (FACS) enables computers to identify human emotions. Is the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom valuble? The technology is valuable, because it can tell if you are confused or bored, and change what you are doing to something that is either easier to understand or more entertaining to learn. That is something valuable, becuase not only does it help students, but it also helps teachers teach the kids.
How could a computer recognize the subtle facial movements we humans use to express how we feel? Well, " The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called and 'action unit.' ". " For example, your frontalis par lateralis mucles (above your eyes) raises your eyebrows when you're surprised; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger.". This is really useful also because, the computer can tell if your sad or happy. " Imagine a comptuer that knows when you're happy or sad. For examples, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different.".
" A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'. The same technology can make computer- animated faces more expressive--for video games or video sugery. 'Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication,' notes Dr. Haung. 'So computers need to understand that, too.'". That is valuable, it helps students and teachers, by just recognizing our facial expressions. It would make it easier for the special needs kids too, because instead of teachers having to change their lessons a hundred different times. The computer would change it as soon as it reads the kids expression that he didn't understand.
Is this Technology to read the emotinal expressions of students in a classroom valuable? Yes, this technology is very valuable, for someone who don't understand things so easily this would help extremendisly. For the shy kid who is confused but don't want to ask for help. Or the mean boy who wants good grades but don't want to ask for help because his buddies might make fun of him. Even for the smartest person in class, it would help. Most teachers do their jobs really well, but even they can't tell if your always getting it or understanding it. So some kids leave class having no idea what they just learned. So is this technology valuable? Yes. | 3 |
837b949 | The Challenge of Exploring Venus
Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because Striving a challenge presented by Venus has value. Not only because of the insight to be gain on the planet itself. Also human curiosity likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Venus sometime called the "Evening Star," it is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky and yet Venus can sometime be our nearest option for a planetary visit.
One of the reason the author support the idea that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is Venus is one of the planets close to the Earth. In the text "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus is more than three decades." This quote from the text show that landing in the Planet on Venus is very diffcult and challenge planet for human to study, despite its proximity to us.
Another reason is Many researcher are having Venus as challengers because scientists go through mission to understand Venus would go up close despite the risks. Inthe text it stated "Or maybe we should think of them as challenges. Many researchers are working o innovation that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." This mean that many scientist on the Earth will risk and take challenge to get and learn more about the venus and that it is worthy it to pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
My last reason why the author supports the idean that studying Venus is worthy persuit despite the dangers is that the National Aeronautics and space Administration NASA has compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. Venus allow scientists to float above the fray.One of the example is "...a vehicle over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by standing up and out of their way." This shown that Venus are not bad as far as I know from the article because it allow scientist from the NASA working on studying on to Venus.
In conclusion Venus has a value. In the planet itself human are curiosity lead human into many equally intimidating endeavors. The article shown that many researcher includinding the scientist are making a mission both safe and scientifically productive. As we know the Solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed Earth level and it is not easy for survivable for human. | 3 |
