Imagine being in classroom and your assign to work with a computer and the computer could recoginze when your becoming bored or confused. There a new technoloy called the Facial Action Coding System computer that can identify human emotions. This software has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surspries, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. This new technology is valuable to read the emotion expression of student in a classroom because it can help student with their learning skill and help teacher know what their student are feeling. This new technology is valuable to read the emotion expression of student in a classroom because it can help student with their learning skill. According to paragraph 6 (" a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored") This show that a teacher can know when a student is having trouble understanding what their supposed to do. It can also help teacher know when a student didn't like the work she or he give her and can make better assignment. This new technology is valuable to read the emotion expression of student in a classroom because it help teacher know what thier student are feeling. According to paragraph 3 (" then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologist, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS( Facial Action Coding System ). Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surspries, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles.") This mean that a tecaher can know what their student are feeling and can help them. This can also help know if a student is feeling fear to go to school because maybe she being bullied. However some people may think that this new techology is not vablable to read the emotion expression of student in a classroom because not everyone can make the same face expression but, there wrong. According to paragraph 4 (" the facial expression for each emotion are uiversal obseerves Dr. Huang, ven though indiviuals often show varying degrees of expression".)This mean that this software can know how everyone is feeling no matter of their different faces. Therefore this new technology is valuable to read the emotion expression of student in a classroom because it can help student with their learning skill and help teacher know what their student are feeling. This softwore work with anyone and can help people. So what do you think about this new technoloy ?

I believe that using the new software, the Facial Action Coding System, has promising application to use it is in a classroom to read the emotional expression of students in a classroom. So the teachers would know how their students is feeling, and how they are doing in class. The reason i agree with this new technology is because, well in the passage it says "The facial expression for each emotion are universal" observes Dr. Huang, "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression" (like not smiling as broadly).They use a video imagery, that tracks these facial movement. By weighting the diffenet units, the software can also indentify mixed emotions. So even if the students don't show facial expression, the technolgy can tell how they are feeling, and so the computer can change it up and help the student learn better. Also the second reason why I agree is because the computer will know when you're happy or sad. For example, if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad migh follow. But if your sad, the next ad will be differnt. Also it can help students learn better, in the passage it says "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." So if a student is confused, the computer will make the lesson more understandable. So the student will learn better and don't need to struggle and will help the teacher. The third reason why i agree is because the computer can tell if the students are lying about their emotionn. It says in the article "but in a false smile, the mouth is streched sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle". The computer will spot when a smiling is fake or not. In conclusion i believe using the new technology to read the emotional expressions of the students is indeed valuable.So the student will understand better in class and every student won't behind, and will make the teacher life easier.

Driverless cars are the future. Sergey Brin is the creator of the Google Cars. He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world. They are made to take people to where they need to go without them really even having to drive. The only time the person will need to take over is when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. These cars would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. My opinion on these new inventions is that I do not think these cars are needed and i don't think that they will be the next big thing. A lot can go wrong with them. The car could malfunction and possibly get a lot of people into a crash. The article says that the car is made so it automatically sensors the driver when they are needed. They are supposed to have seats that vibrate to notifty the driver, but what if the driver doesn't notice it and they end up crashing and hurt a lot of people. The cars are also supposed to have cameras to watch that the drivers are remaining focused on the road. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver. But what if the camera breaks and it takes a while for the owner to get it fixed. Then how is the car going to watch the person? Plus by having these it just makes us all a little more lazier. Driving can be fun and nice to know how to do. I myself, enjoy driving. I personally think it's fun. Our lives are being taken over by technology. Everyone now a days depends on it. They're lost without it. By making cars that will drive us around, without us barely even having to drive it is stupid. They're also most likely going to be outragiously expensive. The name also does not make sense. Why call it "driverless" cars, if people are still going to have to drive it. The article states, "If technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" In my opinion, it all just depends on the situation. If the car itself has an issue then its going to be the manufacturer's fault, but if the person just wasn't paying attention, then it is the driver's fault. To come to a conclusion, driverless cars are not worth all the hard work and time. They may be in style for a few months, but then i think people will get tired of them and just go back to their regular car.

Yes, I belive that we should use technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. It seems like a good result to add to schools. Even more other than just schools people jobs and different areas. My reason for saying why we should use technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because in the text it says in pragher 6 '' A classroom computer could recongnize when a student is becoming confused or bored,''.'' Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. By saying in other worlds when u get confused or bored the computer can try different things like make the lesson a little better and fun and slow it down for you and try different ways to keep u on track and in gagens. Other reason why we should have technology to read the emoitional expressions of students in a classroom is because it even helps when students come to school upset and in a bad mood it qoutes in the texts about that saying ''By weightiong the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions(as in da Vinci's masterpiece).'' also it says in the text ''Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion).'' Saying it can help you in all type of different ways far as when u are in your moods. To finsh it up about why we should use this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is because it wont to keep people up and understand whats going on and not confused or bored. Trying to keep people montived and trying to teach different ways of teaching when en the lesson get hard or not fun and the teacher do not know everything so this technology can even help the teacher out with the students.

Do you think driverless cars are safe?. Because I dont I feel that theres to much technology put into the cars. I feel like the speeds are going to be to fast for the car to control its self. And if there may have been a crash there would be alot of fighting over whos fault it was the cars or the drivers. These new driverless cars will be relly updated with the newest technology.But lately technology has been having alot of back fires. These cars are going to need signal every where what if your going on a road trip and you lose singal will your car stop working?. What if your going at a very fast spped and your car just shut down on you your probably going to flip over crash or something and that not safe at all. that somethin these developers should think about. When your car is going at a low spped its easy to control. its so easy that you barley have to guide the wheel. But when your going super face you have to make sure that your stearing the wheel very good because if u lose control you will be in a very bad accident." The car can handle functions at speed up to 25mph" see these cars can only drive 25 mph because its easy to control and take action if something where to happen. say road work ahead someone driving fast but when they update it and make them go faster its going to be harder to take action when it time to. Say your driverless car is drivng and it loses signal and someone was crossing the street and you couldnt stop right away and you hit them whos fault is it. Is it your or the cars will you get introuble or will the factory who made it get introuble?. Thats a tough one huh. "but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents" what if yoour not paying attention an your car warnes you a lil to late. You cant stop right away then your going to be apart of that accident as well. And this is why I think that driverless cars are dangerous. Theres to many things that can go wrong and I just wouldnt want to hear about a family who lost someone to a car who technology went wrong. And then the person who was driving being charged withe murder or something because of a car that had bad technology.

Dear senatoris it posible for you to change the electoral college to election by popular vote for the president of the united states because its better."Acording to source one, the electoral college consists of 538 electors"."A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president". Thats alot of votes that electoral college needs. In source two it says "over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now". More people prefer the direct vote because under the electoral college system voters vote for for a slate of electors,who in turn elect the president. acording to the article in reason one."In 2012 obama received 61.7 persent of the electoral vote compared to 51.3 percent of popular votes for him and Romeny. because almost all states award electoral college votes on a winner- takes-all basis". for example in reaosn five "nixon in 1968 and clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes,while winning a majority in the electoral college(301 and 370 electoral votes,respectively).alot of people say that electoral college method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candident. people that are in presidental elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a singel vote may decide an election.              

Driverless cars could be the step toward a new world and new gerneration. The driverless cars are not always a good thing though, because people feel the freedom of driving and love driving. People also could have driver less taxi cabs, because of that over thousands of people would loose there jobs as a taxi driver. There are people who agree with driverless cars, because if they are on a long trip and they have been driving all night and they fall asleep, and with the driverless car they are still safely on there way to there destiantion. driverless cars will change the world, but sometimes that is not a good thing. As I mentiond before there are tons of taxi and bus drivers across the United States and the world. Now imagion all of those people who are working to support there family, and now they get fired because the new driverless taxi or driverless bus came out and took them all out of the job. People would not get to experience the freedom of driving. Driverless cars are not the worst idea of all. Think of it like this you are handy capped or just at an old age where you should not be driving with the driverless car it helps them get to there destination saftly, or even if you were driving and you were playing with the radio and there was an accident in front of you and the car took over and started driving. Think of it as the back up plan incase something happens. My oppinion on the driverless cars are split I mentioned the good and bad of driverless cars, but if I had to choose I would say I do not want driverless cars. My reasoning is I love that feel of freedom, and the feel of the open road. People share a connection with there car weather it be they proposed to someone in it or they had there first kiss in it or it was the first time they went to an amusment park, no mater the case you share a connection with it. The invention of driverless cars take away that bond because you are not driving a computer is, so a person's bond with a car is as strong as a person's bond with his or here children or husband or wife. Nothing can beat the connection a person has with there car.

It is in the best interest of the people that you do away with the Electoral College. When people vote, they want it to be a direct vote to the election, not a vote for their chosen candidate's electors. The Electoral College should be abolished because it doesn't guarantee your vote, the House's selection can't be expected to reflect the will of the people, and swing voters could cause a catastrophe. To begin, the Electoral College should be abolished because it doesn't guarantee your vote. As stated before, when you vote, there is no say in who actually wins the election. You are voting for electors who then vote for the President. While it is a rare occurance, those Electors may betray you and vote for the other party, cancelling your vote totally out. If a candidate gets the most popular votes, that doesn't guarantee them as President, because they still have to get the Electoral College's votes. In the third source titled, "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President" by Richard A. Posner, it reads, "It happened in 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes, but that was the first time since 1888." This sentence means that President Bush won with fewer popular votes and more electoral votes. If their was no Electoral College, Al Gore would've won the election. The people would've thought that Al Gore was going to win, and they were probably in for a surprise when they saw that Bush had won with fewer popular votes. It just goes to show that an election can go either way, and there is no closure for a candidate until it is actually announced who won. Next, the House's selection can't be expected to reflect the will of the people. Say a Republican candidate gets a majority of the popular votes, but the Democratic candidate wins because he is chosen by the Electoral College. The people of the United States might actually feel betrayed because they felt that the Republican party could benefit the economy and society best, and that President might not be up-to-par and disappoint the people. Also in the third article, it reads "...to feel that their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their interests, that he really isn't their president." The statement really says a lot about both sides of the argument. If there is an Electoral College and if their isn't an Electoral College, people could still feel this way. If a candidate who has less popular votes wins, then those states that voted for him/her might feel as if they "will have no regard for their interests". Lastly, swing voters could cause a catastrophe. Swing states could be considered manipulative because they all know that the popular vote rests in their hands. Will it be Democratic or Republican? You never know. The candidates focus mainly on campaigning in these states because these are the ones that are half and half, states such as Ohio. While there are thoughtful voters, there are also ones who could care less about who the President is and just want to keep America on the edge of her seat while they decide who they want to vote for. In the second source, "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" is says "In 1976, a tie would have occured if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way." The states are swing states and they truly determine the fate of the election. As said before, those states get the most attention from the candidates, who try to make themselves as appealing as possible. In the second source as well, the author says "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad." Rhode Island and South Carolina are states that are almost entirely for one party so there is no use in the opposite party going there to try and persaude them to change their minds because it is most likely not going to happen. While they may feel neglected, it's just how it is. To conclude, the Electoral College should be banished because it doesn't guarantee your vote, the House's selection cannot be expected to reflect the will of the people, and swing voters could cause a catastrophe.

The "Face on Mars" had been something that fascinated Scientist's at Nasa and conspiracy therorists alike. With the publication of the pictures, it brought up the question: Was it made by aliens? No, it was not, in fact it was just a nautral land form. The first picture of the "Face on Mars" was taken by Viking 1 spacecraft. It was looking for a landing spot for its sister ship, then made out the shadowy aperance of a face. While this did shock scientists, it didn't last. They put down as just another Martian landform, it's only special charateristic being it looked like a ancient egyptian pharoah. Later the Mars Global Surveyor took another snapshot, the picture being ten times sharper than the orginal. To reveal nothing but a nautral land form. It was actually a mesa, a land form or lava dome. The "Face on Mars" was not alien monument or even an actual face. It was a bunch of shadows and just in general a low pixelated picture.

Driverless car should not be aloud to be driven on the roads. They could mess up then the person that is sittind in the car might not be paying attention to what is going on. If that was to happen then something bad could happen to the people that are driving around that car. If the person in the car reacts to late to the cars problem it could also get them injured. The sensors in the car might not work right which could also not tell the person in the car when something back is coming on the road. Then they wouldnt have enough time to try and save themselfs from crashing into something. They could hit something will driving and stop all the electronic stuff from working. While they are sitting in the car and it sensors the person in it to take over might not work when they attemept to control what the car needs help with. The car might be to close to the danger that is in the road and it would be to late for them to try and control where the problem is and what the problem is. So the person in the smarter car could be put in danger for what the car didn't tell them. The sensors might not stop the car in time itself. If the person in the smarter car was to get in a wreck while they wasn't driving the car then who would be to blame for all the damage to the cars. Would the insurance that the person is paying on the car pay for it even if the driver wasn't physically in control of the car or they could sue the company for alot of money. The company wouldn't like for someone to sue their company for something that wasn't physically their fault. Thats why the driverless cars should not be aloud to be driven on the road. The car being on the road and getting into crashes could be a big problem for the poeople and the company. So the company should not put the cars the they have built onto the roads for saftey reasons. They need to think of more stuff to help with the car on the road.

Dear Senator: Many people say that electoral college is a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. Even though I agree with this position in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense... it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Despite the Electoral College despite its lack of democratic pedigree; I belive that retaining the Electoral College is what is best for non-liberal or conservative reasons. The Elecotoral College avoids the problem of electons in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. For instance, one of my sources told me" In 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Electoral College. The Elecotoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal- apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution. For example, another source" In 2012, the popular vote was very close in Florida; nevertheless Obama, who won that vote, got 29 electoral votes. A victory by the same margin in Wyoming would net the winner only 3 electoral votes." Large states gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state does. I do hope that you agree with me when i say that we should retain the Elecotoral College.  

The authors claim to keep studing venus is a very good claim that is supported by evidence. The author gave some facts about venous and how beutiful and bright venus is. The author said venus is the closest planet in size and sometimes in distance to the earth. Although some may say that all missions to go to venus are failed and its dangerous venus is the most fit planet to live on besides the earth and we could servive on venous. So the author believes that we should plan for the future and study venous so we have a second plan after earth venous is also a very interesting planet that has mountains and caves and scientist believe that there could have been life and oceans prevous to earth. So the authors claim is good and we should keep researching this interesting plant venous so we can learn more.

In the article "Driverless cars are coming," the author presents both positive and negative things about driverless cars. I think that driverless cars are a smart way to prevent accidents and help with texting and driving issues. So I agree that driverless cars are a positive thing. One way a driverless car is a good thing is that it can prevent accidents caused by texting/talking and driving. I know this is a bad thing but people are going to text and drive either way so why not make it safer. In the article it says that the driverless car would warn the driver when it needs to be driven manually. So if a driver was texting and something was ahead they would be warned and the driver could stop texting and pay attention to the road. This is just one way a driverless car is a good thing. The second reason why a driverless car is a good idea is safety. Safety is a big issue when is comes to driving. Anything could happen , you could fall asleep while driving , you could be inder the influence and the driverless car would help keep you and pedestrians safer. You might say that the driverless car would encourage under the influence driving but I would say that if someone is going to drink and drive they are going to do it regardless of if they have a driverless car or not. So why not make it a little safer. If you were driving intoxicated it could do most of the work for you and help avoid acciddents. Also , if you were exausted and fell asleep at the wheel the car would warn you if there was something ahead so it would wake you back up. These are just a few of the wasy a driverless car would make the roads a little safer fro everyone. In conclusion , I think that driverless cars are a good thing. They provide extra safety for the driver and pedestrians. Also, it can help with the texting and driving issue.There are many reason why the driverless car is a good thing , these are just some important ones. These are the reasons why I agree that driverless cars are a positive thing.

The culture of the car has been coming to an end. With many people now choosing to have other forms of transpertation. Now in Germany they are making cities where they help banned car usage. In the romantic city of Paris,France they are now starting to banned cars due to the overload of smog. The city of Bogota,Colobia is having a special day where they banned cars and see the effect of now having cars for a day. The car usage is now being observed to do damage around the world and due to that now cities all over the world is now banning the car usage. This will help to have a healthier earth and healthier people. The benefits of banning cars is going to help everyone and even our beloved earth. In Germany the people have made a city where they have given up their cars. The city I believe has a better way to maintain a healty and cleanier enviroment than other cities in Germany. The banning of cars has been a great sucess with now people using bikes or walking as their means of transportation. Even though car ownership is permitted,the problem is that there are only two places to park which cost about 40,000 dollars along with your home. The result of that actions is that 70 percent of people do not own a car and 57 percent sold the car to live in the city. One person states "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" says Heidrun Walter. The citizens of this city have been feeling better about having no car you dont have the stress to have to drive you have the calm relaxing time by walking or biking. did you know that "passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 perecent in car intensive areas in the United States."The greenhouse gas has been a problem ever since the development of motor power cars. Now that we are able to stop it lets take that chance to help stop the greenhouse gas and to make cleaner and healthier cities. The romantic city of paris is having a bit of a problem its that its beautiful city is now being coveres in smog due to the overuse of cars. now that Paris has enforced a partial driving ban to help clear the air they can't help to notice that when there are fewer cars being operated the smog begins to clear up. The smog has always been a problem for Paris it usually has more smog than in any European country. The article states that "Paris has 147 micrograms of perticulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London,Reuters found." The romantic city of Paris cant be as wonderful if it always has a problem with having too much smog I believ that the cars are the ones to blame for this matter that if the city of paris bans its cars that the smog will decrease and become a the romantic city that it is. The article states that "diesel fuel was blamed since France has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France compared a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of western Europe." That means that it is in fact the motor cars that are the ones causeing the overflow of the smog. If the the cars are able to to be banned in paris we will see a drop in the smog and Paris will return to the romantic city that it is. The city of Bogota,Colombia has been celebrating the day without cars for over three years straight. The car free day help leave the streets of the capital city without any traffic jams. One problem of the road that many countries have in their capital city is that they have to many cars because of the tourist and the huge number of people who live there which causes traffic jams leaving cars in the streets for hours on end. They have the same problem in Brazil where they have one of the worlds worst traffic jams in history. The ones who delevoped the car free day was trying to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Someone states in the article "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" says businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza. The stress of having a car in a countries capital can be stressful to some people and that bikeing or walking is a way to help calm someone after a busy day at work. Due to the car free day the city states that "uneven, pitted side walks have been replaced by broad,smooth sidewalks, rush hour restirictions have dramatically cut traffic."The car free day i feel is benefitting everyone from getting rid of traffic jams to clearing up the smog. The replacing of cars for bikes and walking is not so much a bad idea if it will help benefit evryone around you. In conclusion, the car culture is now coming to its end. That nations all over the world has seen the great benefits from banning cars. The greatest effects that banning cars has is that they are helping to get rid of air pollution,stress,and the grreenhouse gas. These are all benfits for everyone it helps the ither people beside u and the environment. The romantic city of Paris was covered in smog due to cars. In Germany where they have developed a city where there is no car in sight and has everything within a walking or bike distance. The city of Bogota,Colombia making a holiday that has been going on for three years straight to have no cars for a day. The people have been seeing that the effects of having no car is wonderful and that we should all do it to better ourselves and to better out enivornment.

The Face on Mars is just a natral landform. Why i say that because, aliens are not real and they can't create the landforms that were seen. If there where aliens then it would been more information found on NASA. If no human or thing cant't breath in space a alien shouldn't be able to breath there either. There would have been extra evidence found in space if there was a alien seen. Evedence was found that on the monitor a face apeared on it. But a few days later NASA unveild the image for all to see. The caption noted a ''huge rock formation . . . whitch resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth.'' a NASA scientist added. '' so, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!'' Personally i think there are no such thing is aliens but if they were there would be alot done to earth and landforms. The NASA scientist has done a great job on taking the picture of the artifact.

The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) brings students a new type of learning environment. Author Nick D'Alto wrote the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" educating readers on the new facial expression innovation from Prof. Thomas Huang and Prof. Nicu Sebe. Dr. Huang and his colleague use this tool to find new ways for computers and humans to communicate. This new system brings a new type of learning, allowing the students to retain and understand information better. D'Alto is the writer, but Dr. Huang has emphasized that FACS would bring the students a new type of online learning, making them more interested in the lesson. Dr. Huang explains this innovation as he says, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like a human instructor." (Paragraph 6). This new change would make the lesson more beneficial to the student as it would make the student more interested in the lesson, further allowing them to retain information better later on. The lesson may be beneficial to the student academically, but is it causing mental health issues as it supports more screen time? FACS is all computer based, meaning less time in the classroom and more time infront of the computer. The student would be conducting this program on a school computer as D'Alto explains, "Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms" (Paragraph 7) the program ends up promoting more screen time, something that students should get less of, instead of human interaction, which our society needs more of. In a way FACS program is not beneficial or valuable to the student mentally as it promotes something that our society needs less of. This technology could be also very beneficial to those who do not have the best teacher or education available to them. When FACS makes that facial emotion recognition it adjust the lesson, allowing the students to understand the lesson better, as Dr. Huang explained. This would be beneficial to students who have a poor education environment as their teachers might not recognize these facial expressions, causing the student to not understand the lesson which later leads them to falling behind in class. This new technology has many pros and cons, but also brings students a new way of understanding. FACS could possibly bring grades up along with educational improvement. This program may support more screen time, causing students mental health issues, along with eyesight to deteriorate, but if this program is used wisely, none of those things should happen. This new technology should bring a new way of understanding, making FACS a valuable resource to students.

I think that having the use of that technology in a class room. I think it would be a good idea because then teachers would know if something was wrong with the students and they could do something about it. Or if the students were not into the lesson the teachers was teaching and the teachers could try to change the lesson up a bit. It could also be helpful because if the student was sad the teacher would know and could try to help the student out in some kind of way. Or say like if the student was mad and the teacher didnt know the student could lash out of them and that would be bad but with the 3d computer the teacher could find out and could stay out of their way or try to help. Or say there was a bully in the class and the teacher didnt know and they had just made a new seating chart and they put the bully right by one of their victims and the student was scared you could use the 3d computer and check the student and see that he or she is scared you can solve the promblem right there and wouldnt have to worry about in the future. For example say if the teacher had a special day and she wanted to bring the students a treat so she baked some cookies and she brought the cookies to the students when their eating them she could check to see if they are happy and surprise that she brought them some cookies. Or if some of the students showed no the emotion to the teacher bringing them the 3d computer could tell them that. Say for example the students in the class took a test and normally everbody is feeling mad and bored but when they take this test all of them get a B+ or higher you could check the 3d computer and see they were all comfadent and ready for this test. In conclusion the 3d computer would be a good to use in a classroom and something teachers need.

It sounds insane to even suggest whether or not to impliment a new system of computers taht can identify the emotions of students in a classroom. However, this is not because of the idea of the software but the absurtidy of truly modifying the education system around each individual student at once. It is beyond beneficial to students to impliment this system, it is revolutionary. It may be the first time in all of history that education is able to acomidate every student in the class room and ensure their success. The Facial Action Coding System should be implimented into classrooms to read teh emotional expressions of students in order to ensure their greatest success and the furthur success of the school. These computers do so much more than read what is on a students face. They are able to determine emotions that maybe the student is not aware of or denies. This can determine what the student really loves and are interested in. This could eliminate unwanted or unessisary classes that prove no benefit to the students future based on their interests. To be able to change the curriculum around every student is to maintain a steady growth of every person into what they truly want and deserve to me. If science is a field of much interest, it would be easily determined by small changes in facial movements. This could allow for students to identify fields to pursue, making it easier and more enjoyable in the classroom. To continue down a path of true passion is more beneficial to everyone in the situation. D'Alto refers to a simular idea, saying that "if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow" (D'Alto 6). Like advertisement, students would be able to follow a steady stream of interest, insuring the best and more satisifying education possible. By being able to elimnate certain subjects or topic that peak no interest, students would find themselves more involved and more passionate about the subject rather than simply turning away from all subjects due to the poor outcome or little interest in one. It is astounding that lack in interest in one subject can turn a student away from school. The Facial Action Coding System would not only help students with their interests, but keep them from turning their backs on school completely. Although the students are mainly in charge of their education, teaching style is also a large portion of how a student learns or does not. If a student is bored, confused, or uninterested, it could be how they are being taught. How one person learns is not universal. However, "the facial expressions for each emotion are universal" (D'Alto 4). If students were able to be placed with teachers who would acomodate them the best based on learning styles in cohesion with teaching styles based on the science behind their facial expressions, grades would be higher and students will have a higher sucess rate. It is not fair to blame a teacher for a students inablity to learn in their environment, however it is the responsiblity of the school to place a student in their space to learn. By being able to determine how a student reacts to certain moments in a class or activities, schools would be able to change their curriculum and place students with teachers who would most benefit. This technology would produce better outcomes for schools, creating a new system of aulmni that are more likely to succeed in their field and therefore more thankful and loving towards their previous school. To blame the student or the teacher for the lack of communication is unfair since "most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication" (D'Alto 6). To give students and teachers the opportunity to truly open up new possiblities of communication through technology is revolutionary because of the better relationships that would form if all involved are on the same page. Many may argue that this technology takes away the part of humanity that is working with others who disagree. However, if humanity was able to perfect a system so that everyone was happier, would anyone truly disagree? Once out of school, if students were able to immediatly pursue a career in their interest and work with people who share this, they are again being placed in an environment best suited for them. This technology could not only eliminate unessisary classes or subjects but stress. If everyone was in pursuit of their passions, living their best lives, would anyone feel the need to aggresively brual or disaggree? This technology may not completely eradicate disaggrences, but it may eliminate unessisary arguments or issues. The Facial Action Coding System enables students to live and learn to their full potential while also benefitting teachers and schools. By enabling students to take charge of their education, success rates will reach unthinkable numbers.

Venus will be a great planet to live on. Imagine if you could have a house on earth and one on Venus. There are alot of bad things about Venus. Also there is alot of good things about it to. Some of those not so good facts from the passage will be no space craft survies the landing on venus for more than a few hours. It has a thickness atmosphere of almost a 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Verus. Some more not so good facts about venus will be some of the clouds have highly corrosire sulfurie acid. Also on that planet surface temp is over 800 degrees ferhight. Then the atomspheric pressure is 90 times greater then what we experrence on our own planet. This may scare you away but dont let it do that. People is coming out with new things everday. It just takes time. Venus was probably coverd with large oceans and could have supported varrious forms of life just like earth. Venus still has some features that are similer to earth. Temperatures would still be very warm at 170 degrees fahrenneit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Radiation would not exceed Earth levels but survivable for humans. Old techtology called mechanical computers were first envisoned in the 1800 and played in 1940s during world war 2. It make calculations by using gears and levers and dont require electronic at all. Which on venus it will be some time intell electronic will be there. All in all, give it some time do some research study and some day we will be on venus.

Dear Senator, The Presidential Election is one of the most important events that goes on in the United States. At the core of this election is the Electoral College. The only problem is, the college has many flaws. Like in Source 1, it states that our Founding Fathers established the Electoral College as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election by a popular vote from the citizens who qualify. As you know the E.C consists of the selection of electors, meeting of electors where they vote for the President and Vice, and the counting of the votes by Congress. There are 538 electors, 538 votes, and it takes a majority of 270 votes to win the election. This flawed system has been around too long and it needs to be altered. I am in favor of getting rid of the E.C and going to winner by a popular vote. If the Presidential candidate is favored by more than 50% of the country then he or she should win. Like in Source 2 history shows that in the past candidates have clearly won the popular vote, but sill lost the presidency race. The problem with the current system we have in place is that the people who are supposed to have a direct voice in the government do not. Instead the people vote for other people who they are supposed to trust vote in favor of their opinion. I can see how some people believe in this system of trust, however some history has shown us otherwise. History has shown that electors can go against the opinion of the public. When you vote for electors most of the time they in turn vote for what the people want. The only thing is you are not ensured that this will occur. In the end it is up to the elector who can decide however they wish. Personally for the U.S. it would be more effective to go to winner by popular vote, not only because of the unsureness of the electors, but also because that is what the people want. Another valid arguement to get rid of the whole Electoral College process is in Source 2, it states that sometimes voters get confused with the electors and vote for the wrong candidate. That could be detrimental to the country if the wrong person for the job was elected. If it was the popular vote sytem the selection of candidates would be clear and easy to understand, which leads to less mistakes when voting. The view of getting rid of the Electoral College is actually quite popular. In Source 2 it tells us Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S Chamber of Commerce, and others have all agreed that we should abolish the Electoral College. Going all the way back to the beginning of our country we started off on the base priciple that the people must have a direct voice in the government. That is the reason our country was made a democracy. The Electoral College has bent those principles and hasn't fully allowed the voice of the people to be heard. With the popular vote put in place their are no middle men, it is just the people voicing what they want and who they want to represent them. Looking over the information that has been presented it is clear that the Electoral College has to go. The system is flawed for many reasons such as the popular candidate not winning, voices not being ensured that they will be heard, and the confusing system of not voting directly for your President. If the change of winner by popular vote in the election is made none of the previous flaws will be present. The popular vote sytem will ensure the people get what they want and the process is completely fair. For these reasons it is in our society's best interest that our government makes this change. Abolish the Electoral College and bring on a new age of simple and fair elections! From, A concerned citizen.          

In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author supports the idea of studying Venus despite that it has many dangers. The first way the author supports this claim is that not a single spaceship has landed on Venus in more than three decades. The second claim the author makes is that Venus's surface has very hot tempratures. The third way the author supports this is that he states that astronomers are fascinated by Venus. Not a single spaceship has landed on Venus in three decades. The article says that no spacecraft has survived the landing more than a few hours. NASA wants to send humans the Venus despited this fact. The second claim is that Venus has very hot tempratures. The surface of Venus averages over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is over 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth. Venus has the hottest surface temprature of any planet in our solar system. The author states that these conditions are not easy, but they are survivable for humans. The author lastly tells us that Astronomers are fascinated by this planet. He states that it was once the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. Venus today has some features that are analogous to Earth. For example, the planet includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Despite that Venus could be dangerous to physically study, the author does support it. The planet is hot, no spaceship has landed on it in decades, but it is still fascinating for astronomers. Venus has value, and if it is studied more, astronomers will gain insight on the planet. At the end of the article the author states 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." That is how the author suggets that studying Venus is a worthy persuit, despite the dangers.

I am for the development of these cars. The development of these cars would save our ecosystem drastically. It would be a great way to travel or get transportations. There would also be a decrease in crashes and mistakes drivers make in their daily lifes. The devolopment of these cars would be great for the future. It would decrease air pollution and use half the gas we already use tody. This invention would save our enviroment. Crashes and traffic law violations would also decrease. The driverless car would have sensors that build a 3-D model of its surroundings to be aware if there is an oncoming vehicle. It would also know the road system and will follow the traffic laws that are inplaces. Its also a great way to travel, traffic will go much quicker because of the decrease in crashes and other mistakes. To conclude, this is great invention to continue to develop. The benefits of faster transportation, less chrashes and trafic violations, and its eco friendly. These reasons giive me good belief this is a great advancement of technology for the better.

It would be dangerous to go to venus it would take courage to go somewhere you never seen or been there before. Nasa wants to send humans to study venus it will be dangerous to go to venus but its worth the try to see if its good like weather and to see if there oxygen. venus is like Earth twin they are really close to each other but venus density and size are occasionally bigger. Venus has over ninety seven percent of carbon dioxide. Whats more challening is that there are more clouds than earth. the temperatures can also be very dangerous up to 800 degrees fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 greater then normal earth averrage. Nasa is working on aproaches to studying venus. Nasa tested some electronics made of silicon carbide and only lasted about three weeks they want to improve that and make better electronics or even better so the heat of any kind of phone or tablet resist the pressure of heat and other forces.

Limiting car usage would have many benefits for the environment.  Pollution in large cities would be reduced, greenhouse gas emissions would be lower, and noise pollution would be lower.  The simple act of of using alternative transportation would help the environment greatly. Cities like Bejing, in China, are heavily polluted by emissions from motor vehicles.  This has negative effects on people's health and the environment.  Another point to be made is that if fewer people are driving cars then you won't have to see cars parked all over your city.  But this is America, not Europe; we like our cars here.  I couldn't stand not being able to drive my Ford Mustang GT™ whenever i feel like it. That is the problem, people will not want to give up driving their cars. I can relate to that.  It is true that driving less will protect our environment, which is very important, but many people will not give up driving. The real reason why Americans are not buying cars and getting licenses is because of our current recession.  Most people can not afford to have a car, pay insurance, and pay for fuel, especially young people.  No matter what, people are going to keep on driving; Yes, this is off topic, but I don't reallty care for the topic.  So here I'll say: Until the day I die I will keep on driving; driving cars is part of American culture, It will not be relenquished by all.  The answer to protecting the environment needs to be finding a more environment friendly fuel source without turning my Mustang™ into a Prius™.

Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 perccent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. The softweare is the latest innovation from Prof. Thomas Huang, of the beckman institute working in collaboration with Prof. Nicu Sebe. Dr. Huang and his colleage are experts at developing better ways for humans to communicate. The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major musceles in the model, Eckman has classified six basic emotions happiness,surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness with each characteristic movements of the facial muscles, your front lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises your eye brows and when you're surprised; your obicurlaris oris (around your mouth) would tighten your lips to show anger. The Mana Lisa demonstration of da Vinci's panting had alot of emotional feelings to it was, really interesting to know how they performed every little piece of the work together to make it and to know the understanding of how Dr. Huang and his coleague done some observations on how da Vinci studied human atonomy to help them paint facial muscles percisely enough to understand specific emotions helped make a great understanding.

Limiting car use to many people wouldn't sound like the greatest idea but however it can be very affective. In the article " In German Suburb, Life goes on without cars" it states that 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 trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles  and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor. Driving cars can cause many problems on the road or on the drivers life. Not driving a vehicle can have many advantages, such as the driver having a less chance of getting injured on the road because of an accident. You never know if you are going to be safe while behind the wheel. You are always at risk while operating a vehicle. Also you can save money by not driving, you wouldnt have to spend money on a car and also not pay for gas and maitenence of the vehicle. In Paris they had to enforce a partial driving ban so that they could clear the air of the global city. This shows that so much carbon dioxide is let out into the atmosphere. Motorized vehicles destroy our air, all pollution of smoke and buring fuels dirtys the air. In bogota, Columbia , an event took place to help cleanse the air in columbia. Two Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar, joined the event for the first time. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said a buisnessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife. A study found that the driving of young age people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. Younger people may be getting more atheltic and excersising by running or riding a bike. In conclusion, limiting car usage could be a good thing and help our world. People can save more money, less lives would be at risk and there would be less pollution. I personally think riding a bike to places is fine. People can begin to be getting more fit and healthier by walking, running or riding a bicycle to there destinations. But if where they want to go is to far they can always take a taxi.

In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it present because the planet is like Earth's twin. According to the article Venus is the second planet from the sun, it's a very challenging place to examine, and humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this planet. Every mission was ummanned, and for a good reason because no spacecraft survived the landing for mroe than a few hours. Although, with all the challenges, scientists are still continuing to study the planet. Venus has a thick atmostphere of 97 percent carbon dioxide. It is even more challenging because the clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid. The planet surface's temperatures average over 800 degree Fahrenheit, and the atmoshperic pressure is 90 times greater than what is on Earth. The conditions there is very extreme, for example, the planet is covered with oceans, it can crush a submarine when is dived into the deepest parts of the ocean. Even metals can be liquefied. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it is very Earth-like. Humans believe that it was once coverd largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has features that are like Earth. It has valleys, mountains, and craters. Someday, Venus could be opened as an option for a planetary visit but it is crucial due to the long time frame of space travel. NASA has one idea of how we could send humans to study Venus. According to article, NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Just like jet airplanes traveling higher altitudes to fly over storms. A vehicle hovering over venus would avoid the harsh contact with the ground's conditions. The article states that, solar power there would be plentiful, and the radiation would not exceed Earth levels. The condition is not easy, but the planet is surivivable for humans. In conclusion, Venus is a survivable planet for humans because it has many Earth-like features. Due to the ground condition, NASA has came up with the idea of hovering over the surface to aviod any contacts with the toxic groud. The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit, which most will agree with because it is proven that Venus is a survivable planet. It may have many dangerous situations, but luckly, we have scientists who studies things like this to make it possible for humans to go through each danger we might encounter, if we were to one day live on the planet.

Citizens of the United States are getting lazier by the minute. It doesn't take alot to do the original duties as we do with cars today. I can understand people who don't like to do alot of stuff or are in a hurry for work, but there are negativities that come with driverless cars. I think we should stay with the cars we have today because there would be more laws created, new dangers could come, and because the cars that we use now would go to waste. I know as a sophomore in high school, I am gonna start learning how to drive. As I look in the booklets we have now about cars, there are alot of laws and things to know about driving. It is hard to study about driving knowing there could be driverless cars being invented that could bring new things to learn. It would be a waste of time learning about driving when driverless cars are being made. Car accidents happen everyday around the world. Just imagine a world with driverless cars and incidents that would come. Teenagers would think it's all fun and games in a driverless car and think its alright to drink, smoke, do whatever and end up in an accident. If you think the cars we have now are bad, just wait and see about driverless cars, more accidents will follow. Where would all the useless cars go? They can't all fit in a dump nor be able to be recycled. We need cars for daily adventures and new inventions of cars would put them all to waste. It's already hard enough for old residents to drive cars, they would have to learn about a new driving technique when they are so used to using our cars now. Driverless cars are really not needed, there are more things far imprtant than new cars. We could be finding cures for diseases to save lives, but we focused on cars that could bring danger. The cars we have now are enough, we dont have to waste what we have. It is pointless to make new cars when people are already focusing on the laws that we already have about the cars today. Driveless cars are a waste of money, time, and interest.

Using this technology in a classroom would be valuable because if students weren't interested in what they're doing it could tell and could modify the work to make it more enjoyable. It could also help if the student is having troubles and could tell the teacher to help the student if the student is confused or needs help to get a better understanding of what is going on. It could also help if the student is having troubles outside of school because it can tell if you're sad or mad. This technology is valuable in the classroom because if the student is loosing interest and getting bored it could notify the teacher and the teacher could make the lesson more interesting. Making the lesson more interesting could help the student in school and maybe make their day better. Making the lesson more interesting could help students get a better understanding of the lesson and help bring grades up. The technology could also help if the student doesn't know whats going on and needs one on one help and maybe a tutor. Since this technology can read facial expressions it can read wether or not the student is confused because the student will have a confused look on their face. If this happens the teacher can ask the student if they need help and even if they say no the teacher will know thats a lie because the technology says otherwise. Since the facial action coding system tells wether you're happy, sad, or mad it can help with problems outside of school. If the student is having troubles outside of school it will affect the behavior and what the student does inside of school. The technology can tell if this is happening and can let the teacher or someone else in the school and they can get help for that student. If that student gets help for those problems that can help with grades and behavior in school and can turn their life around for their well being. Use of this technology can help improve students grades and test score because of it being able to tell emotions. If the student is confused it will know. If the student is losing interest it will know and the teacher will become aware and can change the lesson or work to make it more enjoyable and interesting for all the students.

Who doesn't have a car now days? It seems like everyone is dominated by these four wheeled creation of technology. On the other side, many places and countries in the world have decided to put a stop to the use of cars. This idea of giving up their cars came with many advantages to everyone, some of this benefits are the following. When cars are used less or left completly unused, this helps stop pollution, people feel better, and it improves the economy of car users. First of all, the most important advantage is that being car-free can stop pollution. One city that had to ban car use for a few days is Paris. Due to all the smug the action that they took is, as stated in the article titled "Paris bans driving due to smug", on monday motorists with even-numbered license plates had to leave their car at home and not use it or else they would get a fine of 22 euro, which is equivalent to 31 dollars. And the same thing had to be done for the odd-numbered plates the next day. As the article says "The smug cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday". This shows how much damage the cars cause in the air, in just a day there was a huge improvement in the amount of smug. It's a demonstration of how much we can help by just taking public transportation and leaving our cars for a while. In addition, another benefit is that people feel better. The source called "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" has this quote that businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza said "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". And it is true that cars can cause drivers a lot of stress, for example, the simple task of driving to work on the mornings can cause stress because we have to be constantly preocupied of not having an accident or even hitting a pedestrian. In Bogota this measurements has been taken really well by the community and it has worked just fine. Taking stress away is something we are always trying to do but we dont realize how simple it can be if we just used our cars less, they are a cause of this stress after all. Another advantage is that it improves the economy of the car users. Based on my personal experience, my parents can spend over 80 dollars a week just in buying fuel for our car. Imagine all the money you can save if you didn't have to spend on fuel anymore! Another very expensive thing than comes with the use of cars is that, when it breaks, you're going to have to spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on the repairs. To conclude, there are so many benefits we can recieve by limiting our car usage. Three of those are the ones I talked about, it can stop pollution and smug, it can make people feel better, and it can improve our economy.    

Venus The author supports his idea of studying Venus despite the dangers by relating Venus to Earth. The author evaulates Venus as a challenging place to examine. Venus is a plant, they sometimes call Venus the "Evening Star." The author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because it was once an Earth-like planet. Venus is also the nearest option for a planetary visit. The author suggest that Venus is worth studying because Venus is the closest planet related to Earth. In the article it says, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." The text from the article tells us that in the solar system Venus has similar features to Earth. In the article it also says,"the planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This text is mentioning the features that Venus has that relates to Earth. We can evaluate that the author supports studying Venus because the author wants us to meet our "imagination and innovations." The author says, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by danger and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." The text is telling us that danger should not stop us from expanded what we want to accomplish. In the article it also states, "Many researchers are working on innovations that allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." The danger of going to Venus is not stopping researches from creating machines that will acknowledge Venus at some point. NASA and the author are both interested in the study of Venus. In the article it says, "NASA has one particulary compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus... possible solution to the hostile conditions." Furthermore, NASA is planning ways to send humans to Venus without humans being in danger. However it will be difficult to send humans to Venus because "the air pressure would be close to sea level on Earth." Which means that it is survivable for humans but it will not be an easy with those conditons. In conclusion, Venus is worth studying because it is the closest planet we got to Earth that can possiblly be survivable to humans. Even though they have sent silicon carbide to Venus it will take time for something electronic to stay in Venus for a while due to the atmosphere. It will be take a lot of work to study more of Venus.

I believe that driveless cars are a bad idea . There are so many things that they still would have to improve before they would be safe. They arent totaly driveless anyway because you would have to stop and start driving when ever you come to construction or and accident on the road. Im going to tell you some reasons why i dont beleive they are a good idea. The first reason I dont believe that it is a good idea is because they dont know how to drive through construction or accidents that have happens on the road yet. You could be driving down the highway and as many accidents that happen you could just come around a turn aand then you would have to be watching very closley to know to start stearing the car. This could cause some mayjor issues as in causing other wrecks to happen. I know if I was driving down the road with a driveless car I would be kicked back an relacked. If you come apon a wreck though you could also be in a wreck because you were not ready. My second reason I don't think they are a good idea is because they wont have a clue who to blame if there was an accident. If you got in a wreck with someone would it be your fault or the other person or would it be the cars fault that you crashed? They wouldn't know who to blame for the wreck. If someone was to get killed in these cars the family and friends would blame it on the cars. They could have big problems with this because it may have been prevented if the car wasn't driveless. My third and final reason is what would be the price for these cars? I know that they most likley wont be affordable for some people. Yes, the rich could pay for this car because they have a lot of money and they dont have to worry about anything but thereselfs. What about the middle class and the poor? They already have to worry about there house payment and many other things. Will these cars be manditory for everyone to have so we don't have driveless cars and regular cars on the road at the same time? If so many people will have some serious trouble buying the vechile because they are short on money. This is why I believe that these driveless cars are not a good idea. Yes, some people may think they are the best thing ever. Some may just not care. I truley believe that we will be much safer and the other cars are more dependable if we just stayed with the old fashion you drive the care with a gas pedal and a brake. New technology is a good things but in this case I think that they are taking things a little too dar.

Ever have a happy feeling where you can't stop smiling or felt that dearth of happiness to where you may possibly cry? Those are part of your emotions, something every human being has. Dr. Paul Eckman has created valuable technology to help show a persons emotions. Dr. Huang helps us reveal much of the sciene of emotions. Your face is fraught with 44 different major muscles. These muscles move around in various ways to show emotion as well as other activities used by you face. These muscles have been programed into a 3-D computer based program also known as FACS (Facial Action Coding System) to help scientist show someone's different emotions. Dr. Paul Echman, the creator of FACS, has classified the six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with charecteristic movements of the facial muscles. For example, when you raise your eyebrows, you use the frontalis pars lateralis muscle showing that you're surprised. You use your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) to tighten your lips to show anger. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal," observes Dr. Huang,"even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression." One example of this is not smiling as broadly. Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks facial moventens. How can this be benifital to teacher and in everyday classroom studies? Teachers can use this to tell how a student my feel emotionally. If the students are feeling happy, showed by FACS, the teacher can teach in her ways through that happiness; however, is the students are feeling upset and sad the teacher can specify her way through that emotion to teach through it and still allow the stuents to aquire the knowledge, or she can do an activity to brighten their attitudes. The Mona Lisa demostration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr, Huang predicts. "Then is could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." How effective could that be to a classroom? Teachers never want to have the student evironment negative to teach in. Personally, the brighter the room, mentally and physically, the more a student like me can soak in the knowledge given to me on a day to day basis. Some of my classes that are more positive help me to learn. Making and moving your face to show of different emotions can actually make you feel that certain way. According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, Moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them. A reowned drama coach, Constantin Stanislavsky, had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage. In the classroom a teacher may have his or her students make different emotions to help their students feel that way during class. In the beginning of class a teacher may use a homogram of someone smiling and having the students repeat its ways to positively improve the emotions of the students during class. Technology has its values of reading, understanding, and improving emotions that can be expressed by students in a classroom. School may not be as boring with the technology like this at hand. If we have the resources to make the world of school better, why not use it?

Venus is a strange planet, not only seen as a strange planet but also as a risky, planet in which scientists and researchers are trying to land on. The fact that the author say that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger is because venus is the closest planet to earth, so it may contains some news and important things that scientist or human haven't discovered yet,and for the fact that venus is the closest planet to earth make people get excited to visit it, (also contains analogous things), the fact that visiting venus is also a despite danger is because venus is the hottest planet in the world with a temperature of 800 degrees.Which a kind of this amount of temperature can cause erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent litghting strikes to probes seeking to land on it's surface. one thing is sure, venus is one of the challenging and difficult thing for scientist or researchers to study and know about,for the reason that they are not allowed to bring samples of rock, gas, or anything else there(in venus), cause it can cause serious damage. but also a planet that contains important information especially for scientist and may add a big importance to the science and the study of the earth. The hope is that maybe one day the researchers and scientist find the solution to make it to venus with safety and protection.

Have you ever been bored in class and need something interesting to learn instead of your tedious teacher lecturing you the whole class? With the new technology called "Facial Action Coding System", it can recognize your facial expressions and tell your emotions. This technology can be very useful in the classroom because It can tell if you are interested in the topic that you are talking about, Also it can tell if you are disinterested in the topic and need a little spark of interest, and lastly it can maybe even tone the learning down if you are too confused or getting angry to understand what is going on. With all of this abundance of new technology coming in the future some of them can be used for our academics. With this new technology called "Facial Action Coding System" we can use it to improve our test scores, and starting to put interest into kids in school. Within the text it says, "Eckman has classified six basic emotions-hapiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles". This shows us that Dr. Paul Eckman has made technology that has the potential to recognize if people are interested in school. Also, with this technology it could provide feedback to the teachers to see how they are doing with their students in class. This technology could also be able to tell if someone is doing poorly in the class because of disinterest. Dr. Huang says in the article, "'A classroom computer could recognize when when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'" What Dr. Huang says can alter the way that kids learn very dramatically. If you have a bored or uninteredted kid in your class the computer can recognize it immediately and change his/her lesson so that they are able to learn better without being bored. Confusion, anger, and depression can also all be a factor on a child's learning, but with this new technology maybe it will be able to understand when they need to see a guidance councellor for help. Dr. Huang continues to say, "Most Human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication" ,and he also says, "so computers need to understand that, too." What Dr. Huang is trying to say is that this technology can also help us with things that we don't want to talk about to other people. For example, if somone was having family problems at home and it was effecting their school work the computer would be able to recognize that this person was very depressed and can get them the help they need within the school. Technology is evolving and we should be using it to its full potential of helping our future look brighter by increasing our academics with this "Facial Action Coding System". This new system could help out many students when they are in bored, confused, angry, depressed, or even interested in what they are learing. With all of the feedback it can help these students learn more efficiently.

Driverless cars are coming, should we let them? Well with the technology we have today why not? They would be benificial for our race. While some people may see them as just another difficulty we would have to work out, think of all the accidents it would prevent. The future is with technology we can't be afraid of it. Our objective in science and technology is to increase our life span and enjoy our lives more, driverless cares would promote both. With all of the accidents that happen every day, would driverless cars cause more problems in comparison? While the person in the driver's seat may not be ready to take the wheel. The driverless cars that have been made already alert you, giving a reminder that you still need to remain alert. For example GM's, General Motors, car has an alert system that makes the deriver's seat vibrate when the driver is required. While the Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over. These inventions help prevent one of many obstacles the driverless cars will provide, all of witch can be prevented. Another problem would be the worry of hackers with technology today. Because Tesla's cars are all ran on one mega computer what is to stop it from being hacked? This could cause huge problems. Cyber-terrorism would be a big concern but even that is preventable. Apple's phones have been out for awhile now and still havn't been hackable, not even by our government. With our advances in technology we can put a stop to most accidents. So will there still be law suits agaisnt companies if an accident does occur? Well while technology advances our laws remain. Take into consideration that while there would still be problems, there would be far fewer than before. Don't make laws prohibiting driverless cars! That only slows down what is too come and makes it harder to fix mistakes that the vehicles will have! All humans make mistakes even the ones behind computers. I would rather have multiple people who work daily with time on their hands fixing problems that would come along than people who are driving daily and in the right moment forced to make a split second decision without full thought. I will put my trust in these vehicles and I hope others will too. If laws are truely there to focus on keeping drivers, passengers and pedestrians safe then why deny something that would make traveling safer. Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems will be solved. However their technology won't be able to give the pleasure of driving to those who wish to drive. Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW project manager driver admits that. Some manufaturers hope to still make it fun by providing entertainment systems. While they can be truned of instantly if manual driving is needed, it would still be safer than having people today who text with cell phones while they drive. Google has already had self driving cars since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash. Is this alone not proof enough of the benefit it would be? How many miles can humans drive without a crash compared to this? Google's cofounder Sergey Brin believes automatic cars would fundamentally change the world. So should we let the cars come? I believe so.

A new source of technology haas been invented that has the power to enable computers to indentify human emotions. This is called the Facial Action Coding System. The first step of the computer is to construct a 3-D computer model of the persons face. This includes all 44 muscles on a human's face as well. They must move exactly as if they were human muscles for the experiment to work. Six emotions have been classified by the model that are the most common expressions of a person in their daily life. These would be happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. These are all also associated with each and every movement of the facial muscles. The new created technology seems to be valuable to the people that use it today and specifically would have a value for students in a classroom. The Facial Action Coding System uses video imagery to track facial movements with the new emotion-recognition software created in the system. It weighs every unit and can identify mixed emotions. Each expression is compared to a face that show no emotion also clled a neutral face. Dr Huang commented in the artile "Making Mona Lisa Smile" that he believes " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,". This could be a great use to teachers in their classrooms so they know what to explain more on and for which student. As a student, I can assure anyone that the worst thing at school in a class is when you can't understand something. When a student is completely confused, they can loose intrest and also motivation to comprhend what's going in in class. Dr Huang also added that "it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor,". This new technology comes with many benifits and advatages for all people of different ages. The Facial Action Coding System is valuable for students and teachers at school during the day. It will help kids be more proactive and motivated in class knowing that if they don't undertsnad something that help from this system will always be there. It's intresting to see all the new inventions and ideas that continue to be created as years go by to benefit human life and the rest of the world. This is an idea that people need to take advatage of and use at school. For this system to be able to read the expressions of sudents in class will communicate to teachers that a student is in need of more attention than others. The help of the Facial Action Coding System could possibly change the life a kid in class and help shape him into a successful hard worker of today's society.

The reason why I certainly beleive that this is a natural landform is because what it acually is reveiled to be is common on that planet. It is usuall to see stuff like that on that planet. That one just had shadows to make it look like a face. "the face" just looks different from the other martian mesa's. Some can argue an say it could be lots of other things such as sign of life on mars or being made by aliens. But im sure that the scientist opinions are more likly to be true then some reporters opinion. The martian mesa explanation is way more reasonable then it was made by aliens. There are many things to back up that it is just a natural landform. What does anyone have to back up that aliens made it. Nothing supports that. One thing that supporrts it being a natural landform is that in 1998 MGS flew over cydonia for the first time. The MOC team snapped a picture that was way more clear an easy to see then the ones the vikings took. It reveiled that it was not an alien monumeant it was just a natural landform.

Senator, I argue in favor of changing to election by popular vote for the president of the united states. I argue in that favor because not everyone get's to vote for an electon. If keeping the Electoral College the same, the there will never be a way where when everyone will get the chance to vote. The Electoral College is very unfair for not letting everyone vote. Those people that work that process just go to places that they know they will get a vote. Also, the Electoral College should change the election by poplular vote for the president of the United States because, when choosing your's elctors when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors. The people do not vote for president, the electors are who vote for president. When people think they are voting for president candidate, they are actually voting for slate of electors. There's five reason to where the Electoral College should be retraining. Thse five main reasons are because 1) Certainy of Outcome, dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible. 2)Everyone's President, requires a presidential to have trans-regional appeal. 3)Swing States, the winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates. 4)Big States, restores the weight in political balance that loose by virtue. 5)Avoid Run-Off Elections, avoides the problem of election in which they have no candidate. They just go to states where they will get votes, they know that other states will have no affect to them when getting no vote. Im guessing that they get their hopes up? They dont give other people a chance to vote.

Yes, the use of Facial Action Codying Stystem would be very useful for students in the classroom. Not only can this technology detect when a student is confused or bored, but it can change the lesson to grab the students' attention again, or to explain it in an another way. Along with this, this technology could introduce a lot more job intrest, hobby intrest, or just pure intrest among students. Lastly, this technology would be beneficial to students because it would give us a reason to be taught about the science of emotion, we could learn and go more into depth about our basic human body and mind and how easy emotions can show. This technology can change lessons for kids who aren't understanding, or are just completley bored of the material being shown. This can greatly change a students grades from bad to good, along with make them look forward to coming to your class or school in general. From paragraph 6 the author stated, "A classroom computer could recongnize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Ending the conversation with, "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instuctor." Another point which dosn't relate to the fact of changing around lessons for a student would be also in paragraph 6,"...if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." This technology can overall make a students lesson, web browsing, and understanding of materal a lot easier and it could greatly improve their work. Secondly, the FACS can show students a different range of technology that is fairly new. It could show some kids something they may be passionate for but never knew of, it could be a possible job intrest, a new hobby interest, anything at all. The people using this technology are doing so many things, "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face;" So they're not only using 3-D software but also, "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recongnition software tracks these facial movements." The people who are specializing in doing this kind of technology, are branching out in very large, and impactful ways. Many students could be interested in doing this, and sometimes if it's not in school and they don't hear of it. They can never find it. Lastly, having this technology in our school would give us a reason to talk about the basic science of emotion. We can learn about our human bodies and why emotion is displayed so easily, and how it's displayed as well. "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." Our faces can move in multiple ways depending on the emotion we feel, as shown in paragraphs 7-8. Why does it do this? This technology can give us a valid reason to talk about the science of emotion more, and we can learn more about this as students or even as teachers. Finally, either it be the fact that a lesson can be changed based off of if a student is bored or confused. Or that having this technology can show students a wider range of possible job choices, hobby choices, or just learning more about something out of pure intrest. Or lastly, because having this technology around us gives us a reason to talk about the science of emotion in depth. This technology could be extreamly useful, and impactful on students, if the software being used is good and has been shown to be correct. This could be a very good thing to have in schools that our students can use and to possibly even learn about.

A good reason to join the program was that the cattle-boat trips were an unbielievable opportunity for a small town boy. It was because besides helping people you get to see lots of stuff while in the process of doing these things like Europe and China. Luke turned 18, he was old enough to be drafted into the military when Luke draft board learned that he was on cattle-boat trip, they told him to just keep doing that for his service. By the time he was discharged in 1947, Luke made nine trips and that was the most of any Seagoing Cowboy. Luke got to explore the world, also found time to have fun aboard after they got all the animals out, they played stuff like Table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and those games helped pass the time. Being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world to him because he says that he's grateful for the opportunity to be a Seagoing Cowboy. As he speaks he says it made him more aware of people of other countries and their expectations. That awareness stayed with him,leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years.

Driving a car has its ups and downs to life. It provides transportation, but it can also be very dangerous. Another issue with cars today is the amount of pollution that cars give off. Smog is caused by cars and is not good to the environment and certainly not good for people to be breathing in. Both "Paris bans driving due to smog" and "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" discuss the affects cars can have on the evironment. "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" and "The End of Car Culture" talk about the decrease of the amount of cars used today. Many communities today are turning into car-free places to clear up the smog and dangers of driving. Smog in Paris, France and Bogota, Columbia have reached record pollutions and both cities do not want to deal with it any longer. Robert Duffer writes about how the Paris government enforced a new rule which allowed both even and odd numbered license plates to drive on a certain day and would alternate everyday. This was very beneficial, however some people needed transportation but would be fined $31 if their car was used on the wrong day. Being that Paris is one of the most famous capitals of the world, one would expect to see more smog than usual. Andrew Selsky also writes that in Bogota, Columbia, a day without cars was put into place in the 1990's and still continues today. Once a year, buses and taxis are the only transportation allowed in the whole city. If not obeyed, there would be a $25 fine. This day was put into place as an improvement campaign which also benefitted the city. Bike paths and smooth sidewalks were put in and during rush hour has cut the traffic in half. It also opened up restaurants and shopping malls which were widely used by the public. Both Paris and Bogata saw improvements in their environments without having so many cars on the road. Life without cars can also be beneficial to ones community because few people will be buying gas or diesel fuel for their cars. Elisabeth Rosenthal tells her audience that Vauban, Germany has an upscale community where nearly everyone has given up their cars. Here, people sold their cars just so that they could buy a house in peace without having to hear traffic jams and honking horns all the time. Many say that this environment makes them happier because it is so peaceful. 70% of the community do nott own cars and the ones that do must leave it in a large parking garage outside the developement  that is purchased with the home. In another article, also written by Elisabeth Rosenthal, discusses America and the recent  decrease of the amount of driven by a single person. Research shows that the amount driven in 1995 is about the same as the amount driven in 2013. This is due to environmental protectionists who walk evrywhere they go and due to the dangers of driving. There are fewer young adults driving today as well; in eight years, the amount has decreased 23%. Many are giving up their cars today to make a better, happier living. There are cities all across the world that are limiting the amount of cars being used. Smog is a very pollutive that many don't even realize. Many say that walking and biking around provides them with a more peaceful lifestyle. Limiting car usage will provide less smog in the air and will save you money from having to buy gas or diesel fuel.

Every day, technology is becoming more and more advanced. From new games on a phone all the way to new advances in medical technology. Some people might even say that in the future, everything will be run by computers. Though, some of this amazing new programming, such as the Facial Action Coding System, is unnecessary. Even though this programming is very cool and sounds like a revolutionary new thing, there are still a few problems with the idea. One problem being that a bunch of people probably won't agree to use it because of facial recognition databases and government conspiracy theories. Another problem is that computers are just computers and human emotions are much more diverse and complex than six basic emotions which happen to be portrayed differently by every human being. For example, in paragraph 6 it is stated that, ' "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson..." '. This, in itself, sounds like it could be super helpful to alot of students. However, computers do not have brains and can not think for themselves, and even though there is some super advanced software involved, modifying the lesson based on a student's face has alot of loop holes. Faking a convincing facial expression really isn't hard to do, so students could manipulate their lesson quite easily, keeping them from learning necessary things. Also, not a lot of students constantly enjoy their lessons so modifying the knowledge based on if a student looks bored isn't very smart. On the other hand, the article does say that, "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive - for video games or video surgery." This shows that this type of software really isn't useless, it's just that using it to read students' emotional expressions isn't really a necessary thing. To conclude, this type of programming could be useful if used in the proper way, but it most likely won't do too much for students. If students have found ways to get out of or cheat on homework before, then there's nothing stopping them from breaking the rules of this facial recognition software either.

Venus, also known as the Evening Star. People now a day just know it as a world we can't reach or just anthor worthless plant. Those claims are false and the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" tell you it all. The author's studys show that Venus is a world we need to explore becuse of the informatiom we can get from it. Also the chance of it being a second earth. Yes Earth has a sister plant, but its not as good as people think. Venus is not in a condition for humans to live on, a human aircraft has not even been on the plant in over a decade. According to the aritcle " A think atomosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus" thoses number are not good for man. Venus also has the hottest surface temperature of any of the planets in our soler system. Atmospheric pessure for venus is 90 time greater then what we experience on our own plant. Yes venus is not a good place to live, but its a good place to explore and here is why. Venus might be be a big gassed up plant but there are sighs of it looking like our plant once. Studys have shown Venus to have covered big oceans and forms of life. The plant still has it's rocky sediment that have features simlar to mountains, and valleys. Imagine if this was a plant like Earth, and think about how much we could learn from it. Mankind could learn about rocks and how things died so we can be ready for our plant when are dies. If we started to study Venus more in dept i feel like we could uncover more detail, about what came before us and how things happen. All in all i feel like we need to study Venus just becuse there was once sign of life. The anwsers we could get would help our plant alot, becuse who know our plant might be like Venus one day.

Based on what I've read some believe that there's a face on Mars, and it could be linked to extra-terrestrial life. But I don't find this to be truthful here's why. If you look at the picture from 1976 it can resemble a face, but if you look at the 2001 picture it just looks like a landform. Here's another thing, the one from 1998 looks like volcanic activity is emerging, which could be the case. These pictures contain important information, and data that can be analyzed, which will help NASA find out more about this. Let's go back to the Viking 1 spacecraft. This machine was built in 1976, which could possibly mean the machines camera was broken, or malfunctioning. One major factor in this is NASA. NASA is a company who study's life outside our atmosphere. When they launch probes into space it costs millions of dollars to do so. When they find real life outside our atmosphere they get paid for all the research they've done. Then there's the rumors that certain people spread around. Usually it's untrue, but there's a possibility that it's true. These are theorists, they do this to gain popularity for themselves, or sometimes even money. The "Face on Mars" did gain lots of popularity for itself among time. It got movies, magazines, even haunted grocery checkout lines. But among that it caused other things.

The author supports his idea really well. As he explains his idea he goes further in detail as to why Venus is a worthy pursuit even though there are many dangers that it presents. He goes further into detail by using things he researched out about Venus. In the 4th paragraph in the text it says, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This shows that it would be worth it to see in person. It also says, " Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life,just like earth." If we were to go to Venus we could prove if that is true or not. Even though the author states reasons why it is a worthy pursuit there are still dangers to it. Such as temperatures and what a thick atmosphere it has. In the third paragraph it states, " a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. " If we were to inhale that much carbon dioxide we wouldn't be able to breathe well. It also states that on the planet the averaging temperatures can go up to 800 degrees farenheit and that the pressure on the atmosphere is up to 90 times greater than what we expericence. We as humans wouldn't be able to handle going to Venus because we're not sutiable for that type of environment.

Some people believe in the supernatural and in the paranormal. Others on the otherhand dont. Then there are people that believe in aliens and in various life forms on diffrent planets. If we ask the question "Is there such thing as aliens and if so how do we know?" In hollywood there has been many movies made about aleins and about other life forms in the galaxy (ET, the Men In Black series, and Indipendence Day). The reality is that we don't know if there are really aleins, we just have faith in the unknown. The people that believe aliens exist had a feild day over the recent discovery by NASA in 1976-2001 by the Viking 1. The viking 1 found an astonishing rock form that took the shape of a humans face. the first thing most people said was, "There is alein life on mars!" These people could be right, we have been serching for dozens of years for other life foarms, and its the perfect time to find a breakthrough in science and in astronomy. To others the belief of the face, found on mars, made by an alein is a hoax. It is just a story for the public to stay entertained. The face on the surface of mars is just a rock and it is made by natural movement under and on the surface of mars and not by a life form such as an alien. In the article" Unmasking the Face on Mars" the author says, " Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." The face in mars brings apn no new information to astronomy because there has not yet been any proof of any life on mars. The faith we have in this "mission" is more faith than we have had regarding new creatures in the deapths of the sea. When we think of ailens we see big eyed weird headed creatures, but how do we know? The answer is that we dont. We have no assurence that there are aleins and they look and talk how we believe they do. There are manyh possibilitys on how landforms made the face such as the hardening of lava, tectonic plates, astroids or other rocks that entered Marses atmosphere,or it could have been made by the rotaion of mars . Over all the idea of aleins makes a good hollywood movie, but it doesn't make a good reality. As Mr. Garvin says, "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same hight as the Face on Mars." Until the day we physicaly see another life form, we won't have any further helpful scientific discovery regarding aleins.

Twenty five years ago something strange happened on mars. People may have heard about "The Face on Mars" and thinked that it was formed by alien life. Scientists believed the face was an alien artifact . It actually was not. Scientists from NASA say that it was either a butte or mesa-landforms common in the american west. This subject today is still a pop icon. It has starred in a Hollywood film , appeared in books and magazines , radio talk shows and it even haunted grocery stores checkout lines for 25 years. After that , everyone was not satisfied. The face on mars is located at 41 degrees north and was winter in april 1998 - a cloudy time of year. The camera had to peer through wispy clouds to see the face. People say it is not a a natural landform , they think it was from alien matter wich is not true because NASA explained in the article that it was just a Martian mesa. It was common around Cyodonia. So once the scientists sent pictures to us ,over time you can see the "face" fades out over time. This means that it did have formed shadows giving illusions of the eyes , mouth , and nose. To conclude it was not a face-- it was a Mesa.

I know you may think that the face was made by aliens, but it isn't. How I know? Well in the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" NASA lists a whole bunch of reasons against this alien conspiracy. Number one, it is probably just another Martian mesa, which are common around Cydonia. Number two, it looks like a regular landform due to comparisons to Earths landforms. Lastly, number three, sometimes the face isn't even there due to its missing shadows. Conspirators would probably think that NASA would hide evidence of alien acts but NASA is so confident that this is not aliens that they showed the face to the public. You're probably thinking: Why should I believe you? Do you have evidence? As in fact I do. Number one, it's probably just another Martian mesa. Scientists have proven that there are a lot of mesa's around Cydonia, a region on Mars where the face is located. "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." In this quote from the text it reveals how the face, if it is just a Martian mesa, is actually rather common on Cydonia. In that quote it also reveals that the face only has "unusual shadows" that give the face an effect of looking like an "Egyptian Pharaoh". Number two, scientists claim it just looks like a regular landform. "What the picture acually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West. "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," says Garvin." In this quote a man named Garvin has compared the face to some landforms on Earth. By comparing the face to a landform, it makes the face acually seem more like its just a regular landform. Number three, sometimes the face isn't even there. "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing ... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." Before this quote had even happened a man named Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera took a picture of the face only to realize it was just a regular landform. When the face was not in the picture that was supposed to be ten times sharper than the original Viking photo's proves that maybe the face is just a landform with unusual shadows for a face afterall. Conspiracy theories believe that the face was made by aliens, but scientists have proven with research that that the conspiraters theory has a very big lack of credibility. Scientists have proven, number one, it is most likely just a Martian mesa with shadows for a face because Martian mesa's are common on Cydonia. Number two, its most likely just a regular landform due to its comparison's to Earths landforms. Number three, sometimes the face isn't even there because the shadows are gone. All of this resarch by NASA just proves that these conspriacy theories about aliens are wrong. Who do you believe now? NASA's research or a conspirators theory?

Car usage around the world has skyrocketed pollution levels tenfold. In Paris, France they had to ban driving for 2 days to help clear out the fog in the city (Source 2). Some cities have even stopped using cars altogether, many of the townspeople believe that cars just cause more stress in peoples lives (Source 1). In Colombia, the Day Without Cars is becoming more and more popular each year. It's a great way to lower stress and air pollution (Source 3)! Since 2005, car usage in America has gone down every year, with less people getting a license and less cars being bought each year (Source 4). It begs the question: are cars growing away from our culture? Many people would rather use public transportation or car-pool with friends than drive to work or other activities. Public transportation traffic is woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety (Paragraph 43). So maybe you should ask yourself if driving really is the best way to go, because it only causes stress, pollution, and it's a danger to your safety every time you drive onto the road. Maybe it's just best to limit car usage and pull out the old bicicle or take the bus and meet new people.      

'' Do you think that it would be fun to be a Seagoing Cowboy?'', Parker questioned '' I think that it would be a great idea. ,I stated We could go on the ships to see different countries on our free time and we could have fun watching the animals.'' Many resonsons why I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboy program are you can help out people and you can visit cool places while you are traveling. Also you could get a chance to learn how it feels to help someone out that really needs it like Luke did. Luke also got the opportunities to see China and Europe, the Acropolis in Greece, take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water, and he toured a excavated castle in Crete and he saw the Panama Canal on his way to China, like you could if you did something like this. Also if you did this you would have the opportunity to see and travel the different oceans like Luke did in his travels. My conclusion is if you join the Seagoing Cowboy program you will enjoy the sights you see and the wonderful feeling of helping out people ineed in other countries. I think this because in the article it says ''Being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world to him. I'm grateful for the opportunity,'' he says ''It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs.'' And that Awareness stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange vistiors for many years. That is why I think you should join the Seagoing Cowboy program.

Driving  a  car  is  one  of  the  fun  but  must  dangerous  things  to  do.  Car  usage  is  one  of  the  most  common  issues  the  wolrd  is  trying  to  address.  Seeing  so  many  cars driving  around  is  not  as  much  fun  as  it  were  in  the  late  50s. Car  usage  is  causing  so much  damage  in  our  environment.  Usage  of  cars  can  lead  to  air  pollution.  Air  polluion  is  the  most  dangerous  type  of  pollution  that  can  kill  thousand's  of people  in  just few  minutes.  Limiting  in  car  usage can  make  a  reduction  in  air  pollution. Owning  a  personal  car  is  not  the  only  way  you  can  get  from  point  A  to  point  B.  There  are  other  ways  and  means  someone  could  use  to  get  around  doing  your  day  to-day  businesses,  EX:  trains,  cabs,  buses, etc.  If  most  people  start  to  use  the  other  means  of  transportations  I  just  listed,  there  will  be  some  in crease  on  our  employment  rate.             

Go outside and take a deep breath, as it is right now you may feel refreshed and may even feel twinge of joy as you just took in a breath of the wonderful natural and clean air. But, as it so happens with the increase of greenhouse gases in the world, in just a few years this may not be the same situation. Instead of enjoying your breath, you may be coughing or choking on the polluted air. In the past few decades, our air pollution has gone up drastically and most of that comes from our cars. According to Source 1, written by Elisabeth Rosenthal, cars in Europe make up 12 percent of its greenhouse gases and up to 50 percent in areas in the United States! That's a whole lot! Rest assured though, there is an easy and crutial way we can begin to cut down those numbers- we must begin to limit our car usage. Already, you may question this and begin to wonder if it is even a possible or logical request. Well, it is; in many places throughout the world, communities have begun to forget about their cars and use bikes, walking, and more public transportation options instead of their cars. It can happen, in In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars , by Elisabeth Rosenthal, she informs us about an upscale community in Vauban, Germany where its residents have given up their reliance on cars. It's streets have no cars, except for the tram that runs to its downtown areas. While everyone is still allowed to own a car, and some do, they must park it at one of the only two areas to park- in large garages where an owner must buy a space for up to $40,000! You may think that it's crazy but in reality it is not. The structure of the city allows almost everything to be in close proximity to one another reducing the need for a car. Many citizens have reported to be feeling better and happier as they feel more carefree and have the stress that cars bring removed from their lives. This helps to reduce the emission produced by cars and Vauban is one of the most successful cities and have been an influence in many areas. Now, if you are not up to the idea of completely giving up your car then, there are several alternatives that you can do to help and will still reduce and limit your car usage. In Source 3, by Andrew Selsky, Mr. Selsky brings to us a fairly new tradition that started about 3 years ago in Bogota, Colombia. Bogota is Colombia's capital and one of the most populated cities. Bogota has a city-wide day called, "Day Without Cars." It is simple enough, buses and taxis are only permitted while cars are banned. Millions of people walked, biked, skated, or found other ways of getting to work and frankly enjoyed it. Other citizens reported it as a fun day to take away stress while helping our endangered enviroment. This day that started only 3 days ago has now spread to other areas such as Cali and Valledupar, and Asuncion, Paraguay. Not only do these days help the enviroment but it also helps the citizens. All throughout Bogota, new parks and sports centers have been built, old and cracked sidewalks have been replaced with smooth ones, and new areas for income- such as restaurants and upscale shopes- have popped up around the city as well. The reason for the building and new employment of jobs is so that people will have reasons to walk around and allow for it to be more convient for others who work near by the areas. We also notice a similar idea arise in the lovely city of Paris, France. For those who don't know while Paris is known for it's impressive architecture and beautiful sights, it also has a bad reputation of being very polluted. This pollution comes from the amount of tourists it recieves as well as the different and populous amounts of motor transportation. In Source 2 by Robert Duffer, we see he examines several days in which the city of Paris bans driving due to the record amounts of pollution in the air. For those who were driving when they weren't supposed to be were fined and a few even had their car impounded for their reactions to the fine. Unfortunately, the government established in Paris realized that they had to do this after 5 full days of intensifying smog. At first, many were scared, confused, and even upset as to why this was happening but they began to see that it was neccessary. Once their levels of smog began to normalize, congestion is Paris was down about 60 percent! All in all, we need to begin limiting our usage of cars, from the examples provided it shows that in the end, it isn't such a bad thing after all. It increases, activities to do, work opportunities for people, and reduces air pollution. While, they were able to save Paris this time, next time they may not be so lucky. In the United States, according to Source 4 which is very reliable, we actually see a decrease in car usage overall. These rates have dropped for several reasons, and have about the same results and benefits. People have begun getting healthier, emission rates have decreased. While the idea of limiting car usage may scare some people, it is proved to be extremely helpful. Limiting car usage helps reduce emissions, and increases job opportunities and everything.        

What do you think of when you think about the future? For many people it is either jetpacks, smart houses, or driverless cars. There is good news because driverless cars are starting to become more of the present. There has been speculations about driverless cars being non positive. One thing about driverless cars are that they are not only positive, but effiecent, safe, and you still have control of them. Driverless cars are no more of the future; they are becoming more of the present and showing their dominace. The cars have always been here, but they are becoming more effiecent. According to the passage, "Driverless Cars Are Coming", "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009". Since then, the cars have been given more effiecent sensors for improvements. Another positive aspect about driverless cars are that they are becoming more reliable and safe. Driverless cars are starting to be safer then what they were before. The cars have sensors that became, "more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-contol skids or rollovers". The cars can apply brakes on each wheel, and take away less stress from the engine. They also made "Traffic Jam Assistant", where the car can handle driving situations up to 25mph. Even tho the car can do everything on it's own, you still have control of it. Many people may worry that they have no control over the car, but that is incorrect. Including information back from the passage, the car has "speical touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel". The passage always states, "none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless". The cars still alert the driver when there are situations where the driver is better equiped for a certain postion. Examples of these postions are, "navigating through work zones and around accidents". In conclusion, I agree that driverless cars are positive. They are effiecent, safe, and you are still in control. The cars are only improving everday, and soon to be in everyones' garage. The more time and resources put in driverless cars, the more negative influences will go away. Driverless cars will always remain our future, present, and past.

Is the Face just a natural landform? Yes, the Face on Mars is just a gigantic rock formed by shawdows. In paragraph 5, it say it's a rock that resembled a head. It shows an illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth making it look like something it actually is not. NASA has all the evidence to prove that their isn't a face on the planet Mars, but just a regular landform. Some people were unsatisfied and some was with the conclusion NASA came up with involving the Face on Mars. Others thought perhaps the alien markings were hidden by haze. In paragraph 9, Garvin stated, " it's not that easy to target Cydonia." He also said, "In fact, it's hard work." People were so ungrateful with the answers that were given to them, so NASA had to go through too much trouble to hit them with more evidence again. In Conclusion, I would like to say that Nasa was 100 percent right when they said it was only a landform. There was three pictures taken from years 1976-2001. With the years 1976 and 1998, people absolutely believed that their was a face on our planet Mars, but by 2001, more people was convinced there was no face on Mars, but a landform like NASA have been telling them. In paragraph 7, its says there was no alien monument after all. The picture shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. A butte/mesa is landforms common around the American West. As much as people may think Mars have a face on it, we all know that it does not. the question everyone wanted to know is, Is the Face just a natural landform? It took citizens 25 years to finally say yes to the question. Even though Unmasking the Face on Mars was very disappointing, people eventually got over it.

This article states that venus should still be studied further despite all of the danger that it brings toward the people and the equipment used to do so. The author supports this giving evidence and ideas. The author talks about the things that we have tried to do in the past that have failed and the ideas that we and NASA have for the future. In part 2 the author states, "Each previous mission was unnamed, and for a good reason, since no space craft survived the landing for more than a few hours." Then the author goes on to talk about the new ideas and advances they have made such as, NASA came up with an idea of peering at venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet. In conclusion I think that the author supported this claim very well. The way that they talked about in the article it made it very clear that they knew exactly what they were talking about.

Dear Senator, I would like to argue that we should change to doing the election by popular votes not by the Electoral College. It is unfair to but the pressure of picking the right candidate on the Electoral College. We should just let it be by popular votes because it wold not be that hard to find out which states had the most popular candidate. It would be harder to let the Electoral College pick the candidates. For starters some people might want to know what to Electoral College is and they might want to send you a letter about it and what would you say? Something along the lines like they are the ones who pick the votes for the candidates? This is what I got out of Source 1: What Is the Electoral College? " The Electoral College is a process, not a place." Some people might not understand that. It also states that it consists of selections of all the electors, it is also a meeting place for the electors to vote for the President and the Vice President, and it also used for counting of the electoral votes made by the Congress. At the Electoral College also consists of 538 electors and the majority of 270 electoral votes are required to elect the President. Every candidate that is running for President in your state has their own group of electors. They are usally generally chosen the candidaate's party. In Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best- laid defenses of the system are wrong. They want to abolish the College becaus eit is unfair to the people that want to vote for their own candidate's and not have some college do it for them. In that source it states this "They're not alone; according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore- thanks to the quirks of the Electoral College..." This is what is wrong with the College "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Yes, I know that there are people that think that it is ok for the Electoral College to do all the voting. To me I like it if you all would let it be the popular vote not by some college. Yes, I know that sometime it might do easier to use the college and that is ok, but I would like it if it was all about the popular votes. To end my letter I just wish that you all in the office to thank about what I just said. Also I like to argue that you should abolish the Electoral College. I just wish you all will think about everything i just said and typed to you all. Yours Truely, PROPER_NAME  

I would argue yes this could be a valueable. The reason this could be valueable is because this can be used anyhwhere in classrooms work offices police office etc. People wouldn't be able to lie about what they done or how they feel inside. This could become a lie test for people who comit crimes. I believe this new technology could become a great tool. The teachers when they ask a student if he/she understand their face tell it all. This can also help teacher who at times don't know how a student feels and relate with the student. If the students aren't into a lesson the teacher know so she maybe come in at a different point of veiw. This would not only be a good tool but it could make people better at their jobs. This new technology can be use in the court. When people lie they put on a different face with the kind of tool the courts can detect if someone telling a lie. This new technology tool can make jobs like easier and take stress off people knowing that they did the right thing. This can also tell if someone gets mad and about to lose control which can also be a sign of guilt. This new technology tool can be of great use in the at docter office or the emergancy room. This tool can help se how much pain a person is really in and what they can do to help. This can also see if someone is liying about pain to get pills to sale. This can also see if someone needs help mentally and what can help or be of great use to them. This new technology can help after a women has given brith to see if the baby is doing well. I think this new technology tool can be of great use to our society. This technology open doors to a better life a better school for kids. This technology can be useful because it helps people see the things wrong about them. This technology can be used anywhere helps peole who needs help this can also help people descirbe how they feel in the inside. I do believe that this invention would have a great use in society and benefit many people in the work force.

What happens if earth ever becomes inhabitable? Well, often reffered to as "earths twin" Venus, might just come in handy. But there's a small problem. We only know a small amount about Venus from the numerous amounts of spacecraft we have sent there. Sadly they could not get much information before Venus's heat runined them. No spacecaft has survived the landing for more than a few hours. So, what are the risks we need to take to find out more about Venus? Well the author of "The Challege of Exploring Venus" answers exactly that. "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" states that Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide along with the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid. The planets surface tempatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than earths. As you can see it is extremly diffiuclt to find out more about this planet without potentionaly getting hurt or sending a drone up there to get deystroyed. NASA may have came up with a soulution though. The surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. It would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. It would still be hot but about 630 degrees cooler. The air pressure would be close to earths sea levels. But will all of this allow scientists to find out what they need to about "earths twin"? Even with scientists being safe above the fray scientists still can't take picture or pick up samples of rocks, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Scientists are still trying to figure out a way that would allow them to do so. Researchers are working on innovations that would allow NASA's machines to last long enough to where they can find out what they need. They have some ideas for exaple, they are looking at simplified electronics made of silicon carbide and old technology used back in world war two. But they will do whatever they can to learn more about this amazing planet to see if its of any use to us. Sometimes risks should be taken if the outcome could be greater. In this case it is. If scientists can learn more about this planet then they can find out if we can use it in the future. Everyone is willing to take this risks if it means we can potentionally find a new home in case we ever need it.

I am here to discuss with you the topic of the landform on Mars. Yes, it's the one shaped like a human face. I have been getting many claims of it being a monument built by ancient life on Mars. Believe us, here at NASA we would love for the claims of alien life to be true, but we've been given substantial information that those claims are incorrect. There are many reasons why these claims are invalid. First of all, landforms like the so-called face appear on our home planet it would be easy to find; secondly the appearance of a face was given merely by the casting of shadows over the surface over the red plant; and lastly, the intensely zoomed in picture showed no sign of anything that would hint at any type of civilization. Here on Earth, we have tons of natural landforms created by erosion, glaciers, and the sea. The landform on Mars appears to be a mesa, a landform that happens to be very common in the western area of America. The climate of Mars can be quite similar to that of the West, and that hints to us that because of the hot climate that usually occurs with the sun shining on Mars, this landmark has formed only because of the climate and conditions of the area. It is a reasonable idea to consider and should be proof enough, but there are still some sceptics so I will continue. Some may say, even if it was a natural landform, how on Earth does it look exactly like a human face? Well first of all, people see what they wish to see. They think it's a face because it is such a fascinating and fantastic thing to think of. "A human face on Mars?! No way!" The landform isn't actually shaped like a face, it is merely the shadows that are cast on it that cause the appearance of it being a face. However, upon closer inspection by NASA the landform was revealed merely to be a completely normal patch of land, nothing special at all. If all of what I'm saying isn't enough to convince you, I have got one more important point to make. NASA has gone to extensive lengths to examine this landform that has caused such a big fuss among the people. In the April of 2008, scientists set out to explore the face of Mars once more. It was an apparently cloudless day and it was that day that they took the picture. The picture was zoomed in as far as it could have been, so that anything on the face of the planet could be seen. There weren't any signs of life, no tents where extra-terrestrial life would sleep and no proof of anything building this landform. To sum all of this up, there is simply just no way that this landform could have been built by alien life. There are too many facts and too much research done on this landform, we know all there is to know and what we can say for sure is, there is simply no way the Face was createed by Aliens. You'll just have to face the facts and wonder how on earth this picture managed to look exactly like a human face. The mystery was fun while it lasted, but now that we have the facts, it is time to lay this case to rest.

Transportation or cars will always have an huge impact on the economy. Think about how many people use cars today. Driverless cars has many positive aspects, but lets focus on the negative outcomes. Driverless cars would change the entire world! Look at the companies making computer-driven cars compared to the cars that need humans. There are hundreds of places manufacturing cars that considerably need humans. If computer-driven cars take over sommany people woukd lose out on jobs that they have. If people lose their jobs most would not be able to afford driverless cars. If the technology of the car was to fail and there is an accident there is question about who should take the blame. Safety is one of the major concerns. The manufacturer or the driver? This issue alone can cause conflict. If certain laws change the entire technology of thounsands of driverless cars must be updated,right? With so much debt at our hands I do not believe that driverless cars should be anywhere close to growing closer to the people by 2020.

Technolgy to read the emotional expressions of students in the class room is not valuable because in paragraph 2 it says " how can a computer recognize the subtle facial movements we humans use to express how we feel " Why would we let a computer decide the way we feel when we already know how we feel ? The Mona Lisa was made to not show any emotions so why add emotions to the picture . Also in paragraph one its says " Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to comminicate " I feel as if we depend on technology to much and technology is taking over the world . For example in paragraph 6 it says " 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 ." That is what the teacher is here for to modify the lesson if the student does not understand the assignment . Why let a computer take over ?

I believe the Face is just a natural landform. I disagree that the face is created by aliens. First, the "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon, so of course there will be fasle information in magazines and etc. Second, What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa landforms common around the American West. Third, Mars Global Surveyor also drew close enough for a second look. When the first time on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Micheal Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera MOC team snapped a picture ten times shaper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, realing.. a natural landform. Like all the others are coomon landforms around the American West. There was no alien monument after all. But not everyone was satisfied yet. Others still not believing there were no alien monument. Prepaps said skeptics, alien marking were hidden by haze. On April 8, 2001, Malin's team captured an ectraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maxumum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. Garvin also said, "So, if there were obejects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian style pyramids or even small shacks you could see what they were!" Overall, Mars Global surveyor, Micheal Malin, and his Mars Orbiter Camera MOC team did their job of going back three times and checking about the alien monument skeptics were wondered about.

To begin with, I think we should keep Electoral Colleges because there are many benefits. A Electoral College is a process not a place in wich the founding fathers established to compromise between the election of the president by a vote in congress and eleciton of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. Some of the many benefits are a voiding run-off elections, it helps citizens votes be more meaningfull. For starters, Electoral Colleges help avoid run-off elections. The benefit of having it avoid run-off elections is, that when there is a run-off election and when no canidates win a majority of the votes cast; the pressure is greatly reduced because of the electoral colleges. As a example, as a example you only have 43 percent majority of the popluarity votes. If more votes in the college is elected to one president than the other the president is alot more likely to win. In addition, another reason on why we should keep Electoral Colleges are because it helps citizens votes seem more meaningfull. How a Electoral College does this is by, making you vote more powerful. If we didnt have these colleges democrats in Texas, and Republicans in California would know there vote wouldnt mean anything therefore they would not pay much attention to the election than if they knew the president was picked by populat votes. That is why in 2012 only half of the eligable voters voted because they knew that there vote would not make a difference. In conclusion, that is why i think we should keep our Electoral Colleges, because is helps by avoiding run-off elections, and it helps citizens votes more meaningfull and has more power to know that popularity votes now count because of the Electoral Colleges and more elegible can now vote with confidence.

Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotion would be great for students in a classroom. I am going to give the most outstanding reasons and examples on why this would be excellent for students. Once, I am done you will be able to fully understand my point of view and how it would be great for students in a classroom. Also, be sure to notice the way I verifiy my answer for you to draw the same conclusion as I do. This technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom would be great. Well because it'll inform teachers on how a student feel about the work, notify if the students have things going own in personally life, and it would decrease the rate of students dropping out of school. First, it'll inform teachers on how the student feel about the work. For example, "if you were to give the student work that they don't understand but wouldn't tell you". Due to the fact of having the computer reading the student expression you will be able to know and find out what is really going on with the student on the subject they are stuck on. Once, you notice that you will be able to help the student out on the things that they are stuck on. Then, the fact of you knowing things about the student revolve around the computer providing information. Secondly, it would notify if the student is going through anything in their personal life because of the facial expressions that is being read. For example, "a student is getting beat at home very badly but choose not to let anyone know". Then there is the computer that will tell the teacher what is going on and why they are acting the way they do. The Facial Action Coding System will report that the students is holding something in and is showing fake emotions on how they are really feeling. In a way, this would means this type of technology would become literally a life saver. Well because something bad at home can really come to the light and better the student from the things they are going through. Finally, it would decrease the rate of student dropping out of school. For example,"students that are likely to drop out are the ones who keep quiet about them not understanding something". Then, theres this type of technology where the truth about the students have no choice but to come out and recieve attention for the things that they are struggling on. This specific technology would inform teachers that the student is confused and needs help on the things that you are giving them. If you were to think about it, what is a better way to get the truth other than technology providing it for you. In conclusion, Facial Action Coding System for students in a classroom is valuable. For informing teachers on how a student feel about the work that the student is given. Then, you can fully agree that this will notify if the student have things going on in thier personal life. Finally, you can conclude it would decrease the rate of students dropping out of school. So there you have it, why Facial Coding System is great technology to read emotional expressions of students in a classroom.

My thought on driverless cars is that they will or can be more safer so people dont get road rage. Some people get mad because they cut them off on the high way or they flip them off, but if the cars drove by them selves then the people wouldnt have to worry about going to fast to cut someone off or crash. The almost most deaths of todays society is crashes because people are texting and driving or they just dont pay attention. people could just kick back in their cars and just sleep or listen to music and tell the car where to go and the car will take them on its own. The only reason i dont like the idea of smart cars is because something could malfunction or miscommunicate and go bad and it crashes or catches on fire. NOt saying its true but you never know if the car will come allive and terrorize the world and take over, but then again it will be safer and better gas mialage. its good to have sensors in the car to alert the driver in case of an emergency to keep them safe but if it goes all computer and cars opperate them selves just hope we have a plan B.

Driverless cars have been in development since the 1950's, for the goal of eventually making all other forms of civilian ground transport obsolete. No real progress has really come until a couple decades ago, when things like Radar and GPS became readily available for civilians. These cars could bring great benefits, as they would be safe, still have drivers to take the wheel, and they will be here relatively soon. These cars would be safe. When the car hits bad traffic, or a hard to navigate place, it would notify the driver of such a situation. Googles "driverless" car anounces when one of these scenarios arises. Another one, developed by GM, has "driver's seats that vibrate." These cars could also have "in-car entertainment and information systems that us heads up displays," that could be,"turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over." Of course, the "driverless" cars would also have a human there. So called "driverless" cars arent 100% driverless. If the systems malfunction, the driver can take the wheel. The cars could have measures to make sure the driver stays at least semi-alert, such as "Flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays." In this case the light would attract the attention of the driver, and the driver would start paying attention. Automakers are working and developing these cars, and have been for a while. Soon, these driverless cars will be available. Tesla has announced that a "car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time," as early as this year, 2016. Other auto manufacturers "plan to have cars that drive themselves by 2020." These manufacturers include Nisan, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. Driverless cars aren't druely driverless, are quite safe, and are going to be available soon. There is no real reason to be against having these cars on the road, or to have all cars be truely driverless in the near future.

Exploring Venus might seem dangerous for some people, but others believe Venus is a worthy puruit despite the dangers it presents. In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author supports the main idea of the article which is "Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents". There are many ways he supports his main idea, Three in which are very interesting. First, Venus has many Earth-like features that might make it seem that life used to exist on Venus. For example in paragraph 4, the author says, "long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth". He also says, "The planet has a surface of rocky sediments and includes familiar features such as vallys, mountains, and craters". This is important because we could find lots of information about living organisms on Venus. These two quotes also help us understand why its important to explore Venus no matter how dangerous it may seem. Second, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. The researchers would have to get close to Venus in order to get valuable information. In paragraph 6 the author says, "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". This quote helps uderstand that in order to get valuable information of Venus, we have to take risks and learn how to overcome challenges. If we graduly keep working on how to overcome challenges, we can infer that it might be easier to go to Venus and get valuable information despite the risks. Lastly, humans curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Paragraph 8 says, "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". This quote helps us understand that it is a worthy pursuit to explore Venus despite the dangers because it is important for us to expand the very edges of immagination and innovation. Although curiosity may lead to great challenges, it is important for us to overcome them. In conclusion, the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. He also uses three supporting details. First, Venus has many Earth-like features that might make it seem that life used to exist on Venus. Second, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Lastly, humans curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. These three supporting details help us uderstand the reasoning of the author and what he believes.

The author supports this idea in the passage with all of the evidence he has put in the passage. the author stated that studying venus is worth it despite the danger. In the passage the author stated a lot of intresting facts and statments about NASA and venus. This passage held a lot of information about venus such as "Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star," is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it simple for even an amature stargazer to spot. this was stated in paragraph 1 In the passage it is also stated that The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study veus. This is stated in paragraph 5 not only does it state plenty of information about venus and NASA it also stated how going and exploring venus would be worth it in paragraph 6 it is stated that "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 atmasphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. On top of it stating the facts about NASA and Venus it stated that not only do you have to go in a space ship to see Venus but you have to physically be on the planet to see its full scale potential because as it stated in paragrpah 6 most forms of light cannot penetrate the atmaspghere and most photography is innefective. so you have to be physically be standing on the planet to see all of it fully.

Driverless Cars Should driverless cars be developed? Google cofounder Sergey Brin has envisions of the future with a public transporation systems where fleets of driverless cars form public transport taxi system. Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash. Driverless cars should be developed. One reason why driverless cars should be developed is because it's safer than a human driver. In the passage the author states,"In the 1980s, automakers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes". These sensors are advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids. The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels reducing power from the engine, allowing better response and control than a human driver could manage. Another reason why driverless cars should be developed is because it's not completly driverless. In the passage the author says," The car can handle driving functions at speeds up tp 25 mph, but special touch sensors make the driver keep hold of the wheel. The car also notifys the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. Some people might say driverless cars should no be created, their wrong. Not only is it safer, it's also half the fuel of today's taxi system. Also driving in a fun way. In addition it offers more flexibility than a bus. In conclusion driverless cars should be developed for many reasons. For one it's safer, cheaper on gas and it mimics the skill of a human at the wheel.

Dear Senator, It is my belief that there is something unfair about the electorial college. Shouldn't the voters opinions matter? With the way things are running now, the answer to that is a big, fat, no. If we, the voters, vote for a presidential candidate and he/she gets the popular vote, then we want he/she to lead our country. But with the electorial college, what you're saying is basicallly, "We acknowledge that you like this candidate, but we don't, so your votes don't count". But please Senator, correct me if I'm wrong. Another thing that grinds my gears is the fact that, by voting for a presidential candidate, you also vote for 34 or so electors pledged to the candidate. What if one of those electors recently caused a scandal? How can i trust them? One thing I can not stand is dirty politics. But dirty politics is all we, the people, have been exposed to recently. How can I put my trust in the government with scandals left and right? If you can not trust that your votes will be taken into account, how can you trust the leaders of your country? Sincerely, A Concerned Floridian

This is Dianee and she is going to eplain to you why the "face" was not created by aliens. It all started in 1976 when Viking 1 took a photo of the "face". The face was located in Cydonia it is two miles long from end to end. It looked like a face of an Egyptian Pharaoh. It is actually a mesa. Then,in 1998 the MOC wanted to take another picture because many people were saying that it was created by aliens. This picture would be in movies,books,magazines,radio talk shows and even in grocery stores for twenty five years. When NASA let the public see this picture they believed it was created by aliens. We went back in 1998 and took some more pictures and it had still looked like a face but it was not. My people said that we (NASA) would rather hide then say that there was life on Mars, many conspiracy theorists were saying. We wouldn't hide we would tell the public so that we could get more money to be able to go to Mars and see these aliens. What some people wanted was aliens and other people didn't. Mostly all the scientists at NASA including myself did not believe that the"face" was created by aliens. So in 2001 we went again to Mars to get a picture of the "face". It would be a clearer picture because the cameras were ten times better than the cameras in 1976 and in 1998. It was very hard to get to that exact spot on Mars. The face on Mars was 41 degrees north martian latitude. On April 8,2001 it was summer in Cydonia when we had taken the picture in 1998 it was winter and it was very cloudy. The camera was 1.56 meters per pixel in 1976 it was 43 meters per pixel. So if there was objects on Mars like a plane of a pyramid we would know because we would be able to see it. We said that it was either a butte or a mesa. They are commom in the American West. It's kinda like the Middle Butte in the Snake River of Idaho. They are basically lava domes but the one on Mars had looked like a face becasuse of the shadows. So,in conclusion the "face" is not created by aliens based on these facts.

Computers can do many things beneficial in the classroom, but having a computer read a students emotions is debatable. I believe a computer able to read emotions on a students face is essential in a learning environment. Some teachers aren't adept at reading a students emotions, or are completely blind to it. Dr. Huang predicted that "a class room computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," which is a necessary reading to gain a full learning experience. In a classroom setting, a teacher must monitor 20 to 30 students in a single period. There is a high chance that a few of these students may not understand something, and refuse to ask about it in fear of being laughed at, or disrupting the class. If a computer in the classroom could read the faces of every student and display the emotions to a teacher, it could let them know what students do and do not understand, and help them determine what they should review. Also, if a computer could read emotions, it could determine if a student is bored. If the majority of a class is bored, it could suggest to the teacher that they may need to change their teaching habit. A student who is engaged is more likely to understand and do better in class. Also, some students have issues at home. Some students do fake a smile daily, and sometimes, it's good enough to fool anyone besides a professional. In our state alone, the suicide rates are high, and it could protect them as well. The article also says that Dr. Huang suggested that "most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," so it is an essential part in understanding how someone feels. If a student is upset or distraught, it may make it harder for them to participate in class. A teacher could then pull the student aside and talk to them about how they're feeling. Especially in those with depression, they are able to have many skills, even more than an ordinary person. However, those with depression do not see themselves able to use those skills from a sense of defeat. Talking does help them to an extent, so in a depressed student, if their mood improves, they will be able to use their skills in the classroom to the fullest extent with everyone else. If expressing emotions can produce the emotion, it can also make a student feel better as well. In the article, it suggests that moving facial muscles doesn't simply express emotions, but it can produce them as well. In theory, someone who is smiling can make someone actually feel happy, too. This could increase atmospheres in school and allow everyone to feel safe if they have a problem. It could resolve fighting in schools as well, if emotions are explained. Sometimes words aren't enough to convey how we're feeling. Most fighting and the feeling of uneasiness comes from poorly conveyed emotions by words. The standard student can't read other's emotions aside from basic emotions, such as happiness or sadness. Ultimately, I genuinely believe that computers in the classroom that could actually read the students emotion is extremely valuable. It could create a better atmosphere in school systems when they get the help they require, and test scores in the school could improve as well. Students could actually be reviewed with if they do not understand, simply by the look on their face. It saves the socially anxious students, or the introverted students, when they don't understand something. Instead of asking and being embarassed, then unable to concentrate due to the embarassment, it could be read on their face, and they can be reviewed with later. Every student deserves a good education, regardless of who they are. And with a computer that could recognize emotions, I believe it is more possible for everyone to receive a more equal, and superior, education.

The auther of the text "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" says that studying venus would be good for many reasons. He thinks it is a good and worthy pursuit and a good direction for people to focus on but a lot of scientis and astrologis dont think it is. The people who dissagree think that it is a bad to focus on because it is too hot and dense to even land on and they think it is impossable to put people on however, the auther thinks that a lot of this is possable its just not gonna be easy. Venus is a planet close to earth that is also called the "evening star" it is one of the britest points of light in the night sky making it easy for many people to spot but people dont know what conditions are like on the evening star and they are not the best it can reach up to 800 degrees fahrenhite. The auther believs it is possable to study it but if they did it would not be easy they woud have to have the best technolagy and the best aircrafts it would be hard to find idems that could withstand that kind of tec but nasa also have talked about this expadition before. Nasa is working on other approaches to studying venus they do have electronics that have benn tested in chambers that have survived for up to three weeks in simulated conditions. The people at nasa even have tecnology from back in the 1940s dating back to wwII that could help them with the venus study. The auther was right about it being possable and the technology is definatly coming togeather but their is still work to be done to make this possibility become a reality but that dosent change the fact that it is possable. The auther said it is a worthy pursuit and so dose nasa and with time the hard working people will make it happen beacause its not just the auther who wants this to happen. I think so many people want venus to be studied is becaus their is so much we dont know about it and i understand because after reading the article i am also curius about what mysteries and what it has to offer us. their is a lot of things to be learned aboult venus and it is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers and human curiosity will most likely be what leads us to studying this planet.

The Face of Mars is not created by aliens, NASA's Viking 1's picture was only thought as " made by aliens" because of the shadows. In 2001 NASA took another picture of the Face on Mars, but with better resolution. It was proved that the Face was in fact just a natural landform in Mars, called a mesa. One reason this was not created by aliens was because the Face was found around Cydonia, a region in the Red Planet. A Martian mesa were common around Cydonia. First of all, It only looked like a face because of the unsual shadow that made it look like an Egyptian Pharoah. Scientist from NASA even took picture of the Face more than 20 times already, and as the resolution got better; pictures of the Face got more clear, and one can see that it is just another landform in Mars that look like a landform on Earth. Scientists already proved that Mars was once just like Earth, which meant there were many different, odd shape landforms. Even in Earth there are a bunch of landform that look like something else, so this means that Mars will also have odd shape landform. Secoundly, one can be fooled by everything they see, even sugar look like salt. The point is, the Face in 1976 does kind of look like an Eqyptian Pharaoh but in the picture taken in 2001 showed that it look like a common landform from the American West. Just because it look like a Face does not means it was created by an alien life form. Currently there is no prove that alien life form even exists, if NASA ever found of about alien life form, the news will leaked out and the public will be able to see it. Do not be decieved, you can not just make up random fact just so satisfied your curiousity, look at the facts more then make a guess on what might have happened. With using common sense, one can see that it is just another landforms in Mars that look like Lanforms from Earth. One might be thinking "NASA could jusy be lying to us, the government does not want us to find out about alien life form in the first place" that might be true, but why would the government release this news out in the fist place if they didn't want the public to find out about any alien life form. In the article it even stated that a few days later after NASA sees this they release it out for the public to see. NASA's scientist have already told the public about how they found new kind of landforms on Mars, so that's one reason to know that there will be more; that does not means that aliens created these "monument". There is currently no proof that alien exist or even if they created this Face on Mars. Currently saying, this is just another amazing landform found in Mars that is unique abotu Mars. It also looks like the Face have eyes and nose, but it is just and illusion created by the shadows. In Conclusion, you can say that this is an amazing landform that is created by God. It was release because NASA thought it would be a good way to engage the publin and attract attention to Mars, which it did. It also make others believe in aliens more than they ever did. This was a win-win for both the public and the scientists. As technology advanced we can see more clearly that it is just a natural landform that exist in Mars. It also proves that Mars might just once be like Earth because of their landforms. Instead of Venus as Earth twin's sister, Mars and Earth are look alike than ever. Garvin, Mars Global Surveyor even said it reminds him of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.

In 2013, BMW announces the development of the "Traffic Jam Assistant". Been able to be comfortable and easier to drive but the driver has to be careful while driving. Be aware of everything that is going on the road; and we're the one who takes care of the car and not the car protecting us or feel more safer. I honestly think that we're the thinking more of the fashion or the style of the cars, and become more less careful on the protection of our own. We have to think more of the protection and make cars more safer to feel and comfortable. The driver is not going to feel safer, but it's also going to convince the driver to drive more safer. According to "driverless cars are coming' people are going to focus on laws that is going to keep drivers,passengers,and pedestrians safe. More cars are going to make and more style are going to make; but I also want to be safe when I'm in a car.

Dear senator, Imagine it being the year for choosing for a new president for the United States of America. You cast your vote, for which president you thought that would be best to run our country. After, you hear the results you become very disappointed , Because the presdient won not by the popular vote but by the electoral college. You become very angry and fustrated because the president that will now be running for America will not better our country by the things he said. Reasoning, that  he won by the electoral college and not by popular vote, and you feel as if you dont feel as if it was not fair because you're not really choosing based on the state laws and how the electors are selected. How would you feel if you were in a situation like this ? Furthermore, i think we should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States of America. My reasoning being said is because when the president wins by popular vote it's from what the american citizens want, not what the electors chose. When you choose by popular vote you also avoide many other things from occuring. For example, the electoral college is a method of selecting the president that may turn off voters for a canidate who has no hope of carrying for their state. As explained in the text "  voters in presidental elections are people who want to express a political prefrence rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election." Moreover, the electoral college is unfair to voters. Canidates dont spend as time in states they know they have no chance of winning, and only focusing on the states that they do. As said  in the text " In a 2000 campaign , seventeen states dont see the canidates at all, including in rhode island and south carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didnt get to see a single campaign ad. Making that hard for the people to see what there president wants to do for the country they have no idea because of the canidate too worried on winning and letting the citizens choose. To elaborat on my claim, the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. The disaster factor is what happened in the 2000 fiasco which was the biggest election crisis in a century , which allows the system for much worse. In the electoral college state legislatures are responsible for picking electors, and those electors would effect the will of the citizens. sometimes "faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's canidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever thet please." Making another reason why the electoral college should'nt be here to stay. Although, keeping the electoral college may not be a good thing to do.

In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The text states many facts and statistics; therefore, the author supports this idea well, for he/she describes why astronomers are amazed by Venus, what NASA is planning on approaching the planet, and explaining the type of challenge it is to explore this dangerous "Evening Star." Reading the passage, the author is convincing about the subject that he/she has chosen. The planet, Venus, is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents, as the author suggests. Supporting this idea, the author shows many examples, facts, and ideas why he/she thinks Venus is a worthy planet to keep studying, for the text states, "Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us." The writer describes that important studies come out of exploring Venus's reputation, even though it is the hottest planet in our solar system. The author supports the claim that Venus has many thrilling factors in Paragraph 3. Paragraph 3, Line 6 states, "Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like eruping volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to porbes seeking to land on its surface." The author demonstrates his knowledge telling the readers that Venus cause many disasterous events that happen all around the world. As the author claims that Venus is worth studying for, Paragraphs 4 through 7 shows evidence about scientists still studying Venus as of today and why geologists and atronomers are so fascinated with the blazing planet. In Paragraph 4, Line 2 states, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." Scientists state that even today, Venus has features that look like mountains, as read in the passage. Testing his knowledge in the prompt, the author demonstrates that NASA wants to make visiting Venus possible. Throughout Paragraphs 5 through 7, it states what NASA's (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) plan is to successfully observing Venus from a up-close point of view. In Paragraph 5, Line 2 and 3 state, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." As being stated as a "possible solution," the author shows NASA's solution is not an effecient plan, for Paragraph 6, Lines 1 through 4 state, "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 ineffective. More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges." In the authors statement, NASA need samples of rocks, gas, and other types of samples to have a full discovery of Venus. Because of the obstacle in NASA's way, they decide to make other approaches to studying Venus, for they understand that meeting to Venus' standards will take years. Lastly, as the author's final example on why Venus is a worth pursuit despite the dangers it presents is in Paragraph 8, which states, "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. Or 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." The narrator claims that exploring all of our options that have dangers should not limit us as human beings to give up and quit. He/she states that we should move along all of the doubts and dangers and increase our imagination on all levels. In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. As the author states many facts on why scientists should continue their research on Venus, he/she supports their claim well. The passage describes why astronomers study Venus as well as what NASA is planning to do to approach the Evening Star. The writer believes that although Venus has many dangers to humans, we should take the challenge exploring Venus offers to us and go beyond our limits to achieve the goal that geologists, astronomers, and scientists want to acquire.

The Seagoing Cowboys program is a very beneficial group. I am Luke Bomberger, and I think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. This program is a job opportunity to help take care of animals that are shipped off to other countries that were left in ruins. When I was a Seagoing Cowboy, I helped others, took care of animals, and got to go to places all over the world. The Seagoing Cowboy program has people taking care of animals such as horses young cows, and mules that are shipped overseas. When I worked overseas as a Seagoing Cowboy, I served as a watchman on my second trip. On the boat, I checked the animals every hour, and I cracked my ribs. Even though I got hurt, it was a good experience to work on a boat with animals. Along with helping others, you get to see many other esqusite places. I got to see parts of Europe and China, but the most special place I got to see was the Acropolis in Greece. It was also special when I took a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. And these are just a few of the amazing places I've visited! Being a Seagoing Cowboy is a lot of work, but it sure is a lot of fun, seeing and learning things from all over the world. How did I become a Seagoing Cowboy, you asked? Well, my friend Don Reist invited me to go with him on a cattle boat to Europe, and I couldn't say no. It was an opportunity of a lifetime. In Europe, we heard about the UNRRA hiring people to take care of the livestock that was to be shipped to other countries. Don and I signed up. This decision changed my life forever. After I signed up, I got to do many things. That is my story of becomoing a Seagoing Cowboy, and now it's your turn to become one. Now that you all know about my experience, come and see for yourself how great it is to be a Seagoing Cowboy. There are lots of fun things to do, and lots to learn! Have an adventurous time being a Seagoing Cowboy!

The Seagoing Cowboys program is great job because of the great experienice. Not very many people in greece could affored all the traveling he did espesally at such the young age. This would truly be the change of a life time. I got to see some things that some people new never got see . This Job was perfect for me because it taught me responsibiliy and to be on your own at a young age. This was a stable and steady job that paid farily well. At the time he had to go in to the army but because I was over sea as a (Seagoing Cowboy) that was counted as servic.I also had fun on this job whitch makes it even better. I loved what I did and so will you. That's why you should become a Seagoing Cowboy. If you are a persn who likes water and mother nature than this is the job for you. I liked animalsand all day I got to be around sea creatures and horses and take care off them. He also got to travle every were and relaxs like a really long vacation. My job was a gaint atventure and site seeing is the best part. If you are a person who likes to exsplore and see the world and exspeinsce new things than this is the job for you. I was an onest hard worker and was it all paid off when he got the job off a life time. If you like to work to get reward or adventur and like to travel then this is the JOB FOR YOU.

I know that the face is nothing but a natural land form. I know because the picture was taken in poor quality, we now have a higher quality picture proving it is nothing but a natural landform, and if it was created by aliens, we we wouldn't keep it a secret. Thats how i can prove to you that the face was not created by aliens. The original picture- the one looking like a face- was taken on a poor quility camera. It was taken on the viking 1, according to the article, in 1976. The camera equipment was out of date, making that picture irrelivent. Also, one pixel on the camera spanned 43 meters, according to the reading. Thats one reason that the picture looked like a face. Another way we are sure that is wasnt alien-made, is ouur newer photo-evidence. As stated in the previous paragraph, the one pixel on the viking 1 spanned 43 meters. Our newest photo was shot with a camera having pixels spanning 1.56 metes. That's a big difference! Our new camera is up to date, and proves that it is nothing but a natural land form. Lastly, according to the reading, we captured a picture of the face at the maximum quality. This proves to show that the old picture was just an illusion, because of the low quality. The last reason that we can be sure that th face was nothing but a landformation, is the fact that if it was made by aliens- we wouldnt be keeping it a secret. If anything, it would be benificial towards NASA if we found aliens. It would gives us a beter reputation and more money to fund our projects. If there WAS an alien civilization on mars, we would share it with the public, not hide it. That how we know that it was nothing but a landform. These are all reasons that we can use to prove to you that the face was nothing more than a natural landform. The original photo was taken in 1976, with an outdated camera. We took a new picture of higher quility, of the same spot, and there was not face. Even there were aliens, it would be benificial toward NASA to share it with the public. Thats how we can prove the picture just happened to be a coincidence.

Its no secret that driving automobiles has alot to do with how much pollution is pumped into the air. The biggest issue with driving a car in crowded areas is the smog build up. Many countrys have taken an interest in limiting cars temporarly to decrease smog, or dedicating individual communitys to a car free area with the exception of buses and taxis. High pollution levels is a rising epedemic that needs to be stoppped before it is out of hand or un-reversable. Many country's plan to action is limiting car usage for a certain amount of time untill the smoge is under control. It states in source two paragraph ten that "After days of near record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." Within the five days that this rule was enforced the smog in the city had decreased by 60 percent. Many people tend to rely on cars in their everday life. What people need to realize is that there are other forms of transportation that is just as easy and far less toxic to the planet and to ourselfs. In source 1 paragraph 3 a woman states " when i had a car i was always tense, im much happier this way." It is clear that the use and want for owning and using your own car has went down emensly since 1995. People call it a cultural shift excpecially in America where cars are so heavily manufactured and bragged about. In conclusion, cars are a huge reason why the world is so polluted. This wouldnt be such an issue if so many people didnt use cars in their everday life. Once poeple realize that they can still be perfectly content without having to drive everywhere is when this planet will make a big turn around in the way we try to protect the planet.

can autonomous cars be trusted? thats the question being brung up from this article because of the precariousness of how the car operates with no regulations to distinguish liability between consumers and the maufacturers. regulations on the smart cars autonomous functions are not even in the works yet as smart cars arent allowed and many states progress is a good thing and these new features for smart cars is what progress looks like, making driving easier and hassle free is what it seems to be aiming for, and while that can be seen the only problem is current traffic laws, what i mean by that is if the there are no current traffic laws that cover who would be liable in an event like if car malfunctions and causes an accident. it would be hard to decide if the problems with the car were caused by lack of care for car maintenace on the consumers side or rushed assembling on the manufacturers side but whie what i said is true it is also a small issue that can be remedied within a couple years with new breakthroughs in how the new features operate to be much more reliable in an event when they're needed and also when updated traffic laws are put into place to accomodate the new smart cars in conclusion while it could be dangerous to allow these cars to go in to a more widely public use i believe it should be put into developement as it is the next step for innovation in the automobile industry

The author thinks that studying Venus is worthy idea because the challege by Venus has value, explaining how challenge is the weather in Venus, and Venus is the closest planet to Earth. First reason, the challenge by Venus has value. On paragharp 8 it state, "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." This means that humans are interesting to know more about the value that has Venus. Also humans are planing to go to Venus. Second reason, how challenge is the weather in Venus. On paraghrap 5 it state, " At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that sea level on Earth." This means that is doesn't metter how many miles they are from the surface, the temperature will be higher. Also the pressure of the air would be close. Last reason, Venis is closest to Earth. On paraghrap 2 it state,"Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in the distance too. Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other planery neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds." This means that no one other planet is more closest to the Earth. In conclusion, studying Venus result a good idea because when someone read "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" they can know about other planet. This article explain how is the life or would be the life in Venus, with the temperature, and the air pressure. This article makes the people imaginete how is Venus.

Dear senator, I am not in favor of the electoral college. The electoral college may seem helpful in some ways in terms of voting, but not entirely. Think of it this way; you vote for a specific candidate, but you are voting without knowing entirely whether or not your votes are making a difference because you have no control over who the electors vote for. I believe this system should make modifications. Our county has already had many problems, and accusations of having a corrupt government. Hearing about the electoral college system, and the fact that as a nation we have almost no power for who is elected, does not help the case of being called "corrupt" or "incorrect". The people as a whole in the United States should be able to vote for the candidate of their choice, without worries. People who specifically vote for someone running for president should either be able to do it themselves, without having to vote for a slate of electors, or, the slate of electors should be more reliable. As in paragraph ten, we cannot always control who the elecotrs cast their vote for. "Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always." Either the electors need to be more reliable in carrying out the requests made by the people of the United States, or we must make modifications to possible change or all together cease use of the electoral college system. In addition to the fact the American people do not hace full control over who our electors vote for, we do not even have control over who our electors are. In paragraph eleven, it states that "legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people." If you were truly in favor of protecting the rights given to the people of this country, you would notice this system is wrong. No control over our votes, and no control over the electors? Something must change. Take into consideration how our country is affected every time a new president is elected. Sometimes this effect is good, others not so much. The popular vote should be able to decide who is elected for president because those who are voting will be effected greatly by the change in presidency. Popular vote means the vote cast the most, the vote submitted most, the vote a large majority presented. The popular vote is always at risk of being defied, and there is nothing the common people of the United States can do about it. There is no action we can take to change the election. In paragraph 16 of the article, it states that "Each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed)..." Yes this trust may rarely be betrayed, but it is entirely possible. Just because it does not happen often, does not mean it is impossible...and who knows? What if the trust is betrayed sometimes without our knowledge? Finally, unless I have not made it entirely clear, I am not in favor of the electoral college system. Trust can always be betrayed, even if it does not happen often it can still happen without our knowledge. The people residing in the United States and under the laws of our country do not have full control on who is elected as president. I am, however in favor of election by popular vote. This means that a state casts its vote based on who the majority has voted for, and I truly believe this would system would best suit our country.       

The author supports this idea of ''The Challenge of Exploring Venus '' by stating many facts by In paragraph 3 it states that ''A thick atmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide blankets venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface tempatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit,and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we are accustomed to on earth. such an enviorment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquify many metals. Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes,and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on it's surface. The main reason i used the following text was to support my point of view of why we do not go to venus. For example we do not go to venus because of the heat,carbondioxide,and the facors of the planet so in conclusion, i think it is important that we should be smart about this and only hoover above the surface. because of the factors of venus.

Join the Sea Going Cowboys Program! I am Luke Bomberger, a seagoing cowboy. I am part of a big program known as the UNRRA who has hired seagoing cowboys. The UNRRA allows us to help the countires who have been destroyed by war. I take care of the animals over sea and it is amazing to care for them and be known as a seagoing cowboy. Join me to help the others. Here are some reasons why you should become a seagoing cowboy. First reason, this program is not for fun. It is for the people who are devastated right now in life. They just had to deal with with World War II. This war left many countries to pieces. The animals needed to be taken care of so that is where the seagoing cowboys come in. The seagoing cowboys care for the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. Another reason, the seagoing cowboys are pleasured with free time to see beautiful sights and views. I got to see Europe,China,Italy and Greece. I got to see the Acropolis in Greece and take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. This is just a really nice way to enjoy myself while helping out the world in a good way as well. Lastly, we have fun on board with fellow seagoing cowboys. we will play baseball, volleyball, table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and other games. This helps us pass time on board the sea. Being a seagoingcowboy is dedication. It is hard work. It is fun and beautiful. Being a seagoing cowboy means you are helping the animals and the world in a wonderful way. You get to care for animals, see beautiful sights, play fun games, and help the people who just had to suffer from world War II.

The Electoral College, the real group of electors, is a process in which the public selctes the electors. These electors then cast there votes for the President and Vice President. In total there is 538 electors that participate in the process and  a majority of 270 votes as necessary to elct the President and the Vice President. These electors are chosen from each state, one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for you Senators. For the District of Columbia, since it's not a real state, it is awarded three electors due to the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution. The time to vote for electors is every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday. Some people disagree with this system, but the founding fathers of the U.S. had a reason for creating the Electoral College. During a campain a candidate might have a lot of appeal in one area. For example a candidate might hae a lot appeal in the north where there is barely  any state that has more than eight electoral votes and confirm that the votes will go him. Those states with very low electoral vote count will not be enough to hit 270 total votes. This drives the candidate to spread his campain to other locations to get more votes, not only for that but because he has no reason to stay in those comfirmed states. So thismakes everyone across the nation feel that there votes do count. The opinion that goes against the Electoral System claims that the system isn't democratic and dosen't let the people directly vote for there candidate. Or another claim is that the people don't know who the electers are or what there intentions are. It is true that it's not democrtic or that the electors are not well known. But the electors that the people vote for are ususally picked out by the candidate or the candidates party, which are the people that you vote for. And by the time you got to vote for the electors they already are comfirmed of who they are going to vote for so that gives no reason to doubt it.            

Cars and traveling play a big and important role in today's society. They are used everyday by everyone, and are one of the leading causes of death in this world. Driverless cars seem to be a great alternative to driving. People travel every day whether that be to work, school, or the grocery store, they are always traveling. Imagine having a car that drove for you, that would make people's lives much easier. It would also save a lot of money, Google cofounder Sergey Brin forsees that these driverless cars would use half the fuel today's cars do. Google has had cars that could drive by themselves under specific conditions since 2009. They have driven more than half a million miles without a crash. Think about if everyone got one of these cars, the number of wrecks would decrease dramatically. But as of right now Google cars aren't 100% independent, they still let drivers know when to take over. Tesla has announced a 2016 release for a car that can drive on autopilot 90% of the time. I hate to say it but many of us have seen accidents caused from being under the influence of drugs. If these cars became more popular maybe those numbers will decrease. Some people may disagree with driverless cars but when they could save lives, and minimize the ammount of accidents that happen, im all for it. I believe everyone should get one of these cars. They will cause less accidents, and be cleaner for the enviorment because they are not using up as much gas. Driverless cars will someday be the new alternative to driving.

Bycicles. Walking. Public buses.  All three are alternatives to driving a car to arrive at places that you need to go.  Some believe that having an automobile is essential to everyday life.  Others may say that cars are unnecessary and a pollutant in our society.  There are many advantages of limited car usage. Limiting the use of cars could help reduce the amount of pollutants in our environment.  In Source two, it states, "Cold nights and warm air caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emission."  This tells us that car emissions are being caught in the air due to the weather, causing a layer of smog to settle over congested cities.  By limiting the use of automobiles, the layer of smog was able to vanish, but if we were able to limit cars permanently, then we would not have to worry about it in the first place.  In Source four, it tells us that, "If the pattern persists... it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions."  This proves that car emissions are harmful to the environment and that future generations are at risk because of the pollution already in the air.  Also, the statement shows that Americans are very dependant on transportation, but are unwilling to try a different method such as walking and biking.  By reducing the number of cars on the road, our environment would be helped tremendously. Having to worry about driving a car may produce more stress in a persons life.  In Source three, it says, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."  This tells us that riding in an automobile, while the roads are very crowded, causes people to worry about whether or not they are going to be in an accident.  Also, it has been proven that exercise helps to lower stress, and by riding a bike instead of driving a car, stress may be lowered by simply using your resources to get where you need to go.  In Source one, it tells us, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier now. (Heidrun Walter, mother of two)."  This proves that people are worried about their car and if it might break down, or something worse.  Something can always go wrong with a car, whether it be trouble with the engine or you accidently locked your keys inside, and it becomes very expensive when you have to fix a small blunder.  By limiting car ownership, less people have to worry about their automobile. A great alternative to owning a car is public transportation.  In Source four it explains, "They organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends."  By uses others means of tranportation, it makes it very convenient for kids to meet up with their friends for a while, and still get to where they need to go.  Also, public transportation is much cheaper than buying a car and gas for it, and it helps reduce the number of cars on the road.  In Source two, it tells us that "Public transit was free of charge for Friday to Monday."  By taking the bus that the government provided people received free transportation, allowing them to not have to worry about parking, gas prices, or potential accidents.  They could travel wherever they needed to go on a very convinient mode of transportation for no cost to them.  Public transportation, or car-pooling, is an amazing way to lower the number of cars on the road, while still providing people with a way to be driven to the destination they need to get to. Automobiles, the plugs to the sinks of the streets of the world, seem to clog up the efficient system of transportion.  Parents, workers, and athletic kids alike are affected by the large number of cars on the road.  By reducing the number of cars on the road, there would be a direct impact on our environment, emotions, and future generations.

In my opinion, the Facial Action Coding System is not something I would want in my classroom or in my home. There is no need for computers to read human emotion espcially in schools where security is a big issue. Having this technology in school laptops and larger organizations could potentially be a security issue becuase it may make it easier to hack or break into computers. This technology has a potential to bring much more harm than it does good. I know that teachers in my classrooms can very easily tell when someone in their class is bored or is having a hard time paying attention, there is no need for a computer software to tell them how all of their students are feeling. In the text, it states ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored."" All teachers are doing their best at their job and have seperate teaching styles, we can not base their ability to teach off of one or two who are feeling bored becuase they have a short attention span that day. While I think technology is amazing I also think that it should'nt be such a large chunck of students lives, especially in school. Relying on technology could make it easier for potential threats like hackers or people who may want to harm students or to get into schools, installing something like FACS could make it even easier to break in. In this day and age, I think we rely too much on technology and its abilities, we have no need for a facial scanner that can tell our emotions when humans can already do the same. In the text, it says" Can we actually "calculate" emotions." Humans can already tell what a person is feeling by lloking at their face. All in all, this technology doesnt seem worth it to me. There are too many cons and risks and they greatly outweigh the pros and rewards. Classrooms are not a place for a program like this and neither are organizations like hospitals or any other place. It could be a potential security risk to all who use it. This Facial Action Coding System should'nt be supported by any schools or progress beyond a simple idea.

I believe you should keep Electoral Collage. The reasons you should keep Electoral Collage is because you should let the people who want to vote have the right to choose who they want. Another reason is some of the people think that their votes dont count and the reason that they dont vote is because they dont think the precent will move up if they vote so most people dont vote but all they can do is at least try. Electoral Collage also helps you see how many people are actually voting for each person to be the president. You should keep Electoral Collage is because i think the people who want to vote should have the right to vote. I dont think people could get to tell you who you can and cant vote for. I think if you are eight-teen years or older you should have the right to vote and no body has the right to tell you that you cant vote for a certain person just because they dont like that person. Another reason you should vote is because if nobody votes they cant elect a president. The reason why most people dont vote is because they think that their votes dont matter. They think when the vote or when their whole family votes the percent will go up they just think they are wasting their own time. Their votes count just because it dosnt go up one percent when they vote doesnt mean that their vote doesnt count. My final reason why we should keep Electoral Collage is because you can see the number of Electoral votes out of each state. Do the people docide to not vote for the U.S. president? Or do they just not care what the world is going to be like when the new president come do you like that they just dont vote for a reason or just because they dont think it is important. For an example alot of the states only have three votes. California has fifty-five votes in just that one state. California has the most votes in the whole U.S. In conclusion, I think we should keep the Electoral Collage because you should let the people who want the vote have the right because you dont know if they change it if they will still have the rules that they have for the Electoral Collage. Another reason you should keep it so you can show people that their votes actually count and people know which president they should vote for by looking at the percentage of each president going up for election. The last reason is because they can see how many people are voting in each state and you can see if you are one of those people because if the state says that there was zero votes ina state and you know that you voted you would be able to tell if your vote counted or not most of the time it does.      

Facial action coding sytsem should be used because it is a good way to help students and people, First off i think if this is being used on students it is a really good idea because some students be needing help and they are to scared to ask for help and in this way the computer can help and make the lesson easy for the students this might give the students moure confidence of doing something and trying. Also if a student is bored this will make the lesson not as boring as it is for the student. This is a good way to help people to what if they are going through something and they need help or want to talk to somebody but dont want to tell anybody the facial action coding can let somebody know and friends or family can take action. Plus it is cool because you can find out alot of things about old pictuers, Like if you want to find out or just see how somebody is feeling you can use that. This is really cool beacsue you can find out alot of feelings on just a picture. Lets talk about the Mona Lisa , they used this on her and found out how she was feeling in that painting. She was feeling happy for the most part but a little bit of other emotions with that. This is a really cool way to communicate with people, This is also a cool way to make movies and video games better and more reall felling you know.? This can sence 44 muscle in your face and will let you know how your felling just of your expression. We have expressions every day but sometimes can be hard to tell how we are feeling. Most people dont know how other people feel but this can let other people understand what they are going through. This can also let people track the emotion they want to know if that person is feeling. Yes i do think that this system should be used. It can help alot. This would be very useful in alot of things.

People get up everyday and most likely always have some place to go. They wonder how their going to get to their destination and the first thing that comes to mind is by car. They never seem to sit down and think," Do I really have to drive my car to get to where I need to be today?" If they sat down and thought these things out and found other ways to get to where they need to be without their car,they'll see how much it would help the environment around them. Not only for themselves but for other indivisuals as well. Cutting down on driving could decrease much of the pollution that's being emitted into the air. Pollution is not only bad for the air but it causes other destruction too that can interfere with personal activity and property. In source 1 it says," Automobiles are the linchpin of suburbs, where middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tend to make their homes. . . Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of green house gas emissions in Europe. . . and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." By this ocurring it makes it harder for people to enjoy their surroundings. Further more, limiting car usage deosn't only help with how the environment is affected but also by lowering the number of traffic. Traffic is one of the most hazardous thing a person can come in contact with. It can cause a horrible crash or even take someones life. To solve problems like that leave your car at home and either walk, jog, bike (ect) to where you need to be. In source 3 it says " . . . Millions of columbians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of the capitol city eerily devoid of traffic jams." If it's possible, it would make more sence to just leave your car at home , it a benefit for you and others on the road.         

Hello, my name is Luke Bomberger i am part of the Seagoing Cowboys Program. But before i tell you what i really want to talk about im going to tell you a little about myself. Before i was a Seagoing Cowboy, traveling across oceans! and stuff like that, i was a normal teenager. I was working two part-time jobs,i was working in a grocery store and a bank. When i graduted from highschool, my friend Don Reist invited me on a cattle boat to Europe, i couldnt say no because i knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Lets stick to the topic now, being a Seagoing Cowboys is like being a super hero for instance, when you travel on a boat with animals your taking them to safer places. But you weren't just helping animals your also helping people as well. Your also traveling to diffrent places in Europe examples are like Greece,Panama,China and your also traveling across the biggest oceans in the world. But whats most important is that your helping people and making the world a better place. So come on join the Seagoing Cowboys Program it might be one of the best decisions you made yet. Sincerly, Luke Bomberger

After reading the article called, "Making Mona Lisa Smile". And about how there is a machine that can actually read peoples emotions and put their emotions into percentages. And how they used it to find out how the Mona Lisa was feling when she was painted i think that is truly amazing. i think that we should use this technology at school to read the students emotions. I think its a great idea to use for school, so teachers can tell how the student is feeling and can find a way to help them. In paragraph 6 the author uses the exmple of how we could use this new technology during school for example he wrote, "If you smile when a web ad appears on you screen a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, th next ad might be different." And instead of ads they could be explanations on how to do a problem. I think that that would inprove the students learning. In conclusion i think that we should use this new techonoly to our aventage and use it in the classrooms so we can tell which students need help and which one doesn't. That way we can help them. They might even learn even more.

The Author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit depsite the dangers it presents. To be honest, going to Venus would be idiotic, find a suitable and survivable place for humans would make sense, and the author does state it. I do believe we should go to other planets, I believe that God only made one life inhabitable place from the proof I've gathered, but I was a Evolutionist and Paleontologist at the age of 5. I believe we could one day inhabit planets like Earth and find suitable places, and I've always been astonished with space, because its amazing. Now I will tell why I believe the author is great at showing his/her perspective. We shouldn't go on Venus, but in Paragraph 5, NASA came up with a possible solution. "Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." The only problem to the previous solution is that the farther you go up the less insight you can get, In Paragraph 6, the author states "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 ineffective. More importantly, researches cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges,. Many researches are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." So yes, Nasa does have some flaws and some great ideas. But personally I believe that we should use a filtering system, so that the hot air inside is pushed outside with cold air refurbishing the insides of the rover. Some thick strengthy metal would be used against the walls of the rover, would make it heavier, but it would give us more time, the Cameras would need to be covered with some thick heat resistant glass. And the insides would be lined with heat resistant metal and wires. Find a cool place on the planet with out sattelites to minimize heat and give us more time or for example instead of 170 degrees it will only be 150 degrees, which is still bad but it would be alot less stressful. Us, as a people will always strive for new and interesting wonders, and it is the great minds of our societies that lead us one step further into the future. If a great danger faces us, it is those people we look to for answers for our many questions. The author states "Despite the risks, or maybe we should think of them as Challenges." Challenges lead to creativity, and with creativity, our world is improved in more ways then one. Thus, we must push on to new lengths and stretch our understanding and see with unclouded eyes.

If I was a scientist at NASA discussing the Face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens, because in the story it's saids that '' Face on Mars'' has since became a pop icon. If I was a scientist in NASA I would found out how did the peron face came to another planet. They have to get out the earth to come to another planet to just put your face on it out of no were. But if a person did put there face inprint on a another planet, I think they will turn into a alien. I will tell you why I said that, because people say that aliens are real and they harm creatures. Also, if I'm the scientist this will tells that a FACE on a human body doing on a another planet they should be on earth. In the article it saids: twenty five years ago something funny happening around Mars, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet snapping photos of possible landing sites for it's sister ship Viking 2. Also, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face, an enormous head nearly two miles from end to end seemed to be staring back at the cameras from a region of the Red Planet called Cydonia. There must have been a degree of surprise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on the monitors. But now scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa common enough around Cydonia only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. But if I'm the scientist trying to figured out all this work,and see who's the human face or a alien face because humans on earth an aliens in Mars or more planets. But afterwards after that happening, it saids how some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile the defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an acient civilization on Mars. Also, although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact photographing Cydonia became a prioprity for NASA when Global Surveyor arrived at the Red Planet in September. 1997, eighteen long years ago after the Viking missions ended.

Do you want a future where you are cabable of driving but you can not because of a silly robotic car? I personally think driverless cars are a waste of time and money, a driverless car is not any better than a normal car. I am sure there will be less accidents but there will always be those people that do not pay attention to the surroundings around them and will cause accidents. As in paragraph 9 the text states, "As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars;... Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident, If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" If someone where to get into an accident, it would be both the driver and manufacturers fault, first off the driver should have been paying attention to the road and their surroundings no matter who is driving. Secondly, the manufacturer should have more technology where the car can stop itself when there is about to be an accident. If companies want to bult driverless cars they need to make them smarter than the average human, just in case of any distractions the car should have some type of sensor that will stop the car or turn it in a different direction. Coming from a teenager driverless cars is not something we want in the future, some of us want to experience driving ourselves. If companies want to build something for the future, make a car that can tell when someone is doing something illegal. For example: drunk driving, texting, driving, etc. there are more deaths from those two alone. We need a car that is going to keep people one hundred percent safe. Driverless cars just do not have the right "smarts" for the future, the only thing the driverless cars do is steer, acceletare, brake themselves, and notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills. That is not good enough, we need sometime ten times better! If companies can spend so much money building these driverless cars they can take the time to add features where the car can control itself. Until that happens we will happily stick with our power fueled cars we have now with that being said, that is the reason we should not have driverless cars... they are not entirely safe! What if the driverless cars have a glitch of some sort and hurt way more people than intended? SAY NO TO DRIVERLESS CARS!

The author does support this idea because in the article it talks about how even thogh it is going to be a challange it is dueable and you can survive under these condicions. Even if they will be lots problemes it will be safe but it wont be easy due to tempetur diffences and diffent radiation levels.It is also the brightest point in the sky and is the plant to have the most similarites to the earth.The arthor also knows that they have diffent tempetures and it is not safe to travle by foot the author still aproves about this idea about going to venus. Even if some oceans liquefys many metals they can make and invent new types of metal to help go into oceans and also even though it is no safe to go on foot veicles like jets cat go above storms and rocky floors. Also solor power will be plentiful for powering every thing because of how bight it is on venus.It is also a good idea because people are upgrading and making old parts better by making the resist mor and last more time in these conditions. The tempurtes in venus is an average of 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than the earth but even with these temeptures you can still be able to survive and they are also more extreme than anything we encountered on earth.The author also says that us humans should not be scared of taking risks and should expand to meet very edges of imagination and innovation.They are also working on making thins like cellphones and tablets more resistant to be able to be used on venus or outher places. The authors opinion is that it is a good idea even if it is not easy and every thing is alot diffent you can still be able to survive on venus.Some diffences are tempture,weather,terrians and every thing is similar but more deadly on venus than on earth .There might be alsot of bad things but every thing can have a souloution like with stoms you can use somthing like a jut and be able to go above the storms and moutains and in the water you can make strong more resistant metals to go under water.So what the author said is we should not be sacred to take risk and should just go for it and try and maby it will all be fine and go well.
