So the main question of this essay is if technology that can read emotional expressions from students valuable or not valueble. Im going to say why its valuable to this student cause I personaly think it is a good idea then give my overall conclusion over this. I think that this new technology they are talking about that can read a students emotion or expreassion could be very useful in a couple of ways. It could help teachers help a student or students if the are doiung well and might be going through something very emotional or hard. It can also help the teachers see what they like and what they don't like or if they are having trouble understanding something that they are reading or seeing on the internet. More reasons why I think this would be a useful thing is because if teachers ask students how thier day or how was your weekend was because if some teachers ask them they migh tlie and change their action or expression of how they use to have it and with this technology, they can just tell the teacher or an adult of the expression of the student the teacher or adult can go talk to that specific student. In conclusion, I think this would be very helpful to many schools if not teachers or even possibly parents.This could help students get through what they are going through. But in my opinion, this is a valuable resources.

How do you feel about this new technology? Many people feel that this technolgy will not work but some people think it will. My opinon would be i think it would becasue that just how my self saw and read the artical. it says that the facial ecpresstions for each emotion are universal observes Dr. huang. even though individals often show varying degrees of expression The first thing im going to talk about is going to be the way they people look at this new technolgy. In the expert i saw that alot of people are starting to like this new technolgy and people are changing there mind about it. Another fact is a classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confuced or of task. i think that would be awesome for me becasue i have a hard time focosing in class. The second thing im going to talk about would be what is the new techoligy about. Its new because you can see if a student is getting off task or hard to stay focussed. People like it because they will get help if they are confused and with out it the stuent wont ask and they ill just stay there confused the hole time and not know anything. I think that new tchonoly would be good for alot of students so i would reconmend it to alot of school across the USA. Many people should like this for there kid. it will help them so much and make your kid a way better student. i think that technoley is super cool and reconmend it everywhere. Theres students that are failing classes and not asking for help but they need it and if the teacher has a little devise and they can see whos confused they will help them

The world of Venus is very rough, and there are lots of hazards we must overcome if we plan on visiting the planet. The whole planet is filled with danger around every corner, and we would need alot of protection if we planed to visit this unknown world. It is a planet very close to Earth, but it is also extremely close to the sun, making it 800 degrees fahrenheit on the planets surface. There is also clouds of corrosive sulfuric acid, and powerfull volcanoes. Which makes the idea of actually stepping foot on the planet impossible. If we founded research to go near the planet, and studied Venus from a blimp like aircraft it would help us with reseach of how the world looked up close, but we will never be able to actually take samples of the world, no ground samples or gass samples because its too risky. The idea of a aircraft hovering 30 miles above the planet sounds amazing, and makes u imagine what it would be like, but there would not be much progress due to not being able to take pictures of the planet. The atmosphere of Venus is so thick that light does not travel through it making prictures and videos completely inefective. Even after we get there and see the planet, what then the gass would not let us continue to explore the planet, and without any photos or evidence the public might not even beleave that it took place. Nasa is working on many approaches to study and find ways to reach venus. They have tested the material silicon carbon, in a chamber simulating the conditions we may face on the planets surface. The materials lasted three weeks in the condition, but what if the world of Venus is even worse then the chamber Nasa has built, would humans only have a certain amount of time to study the planet before before there ship and them get dissolved by the planet? The author is very smart and knows his facts, but he does not know how dangerouse the planet will be, Nasa should focas on Mars and not a planet so hard for us to travel and discover. We have sent rovers to mars and they have landed and some still work to this day, but every thing Nasa has sent to venus has failed, this is why we should choose the red planet.

For decades, society has put a major emphasis on transportation in order to center themselves around cars and ways to upgrade them. However, it is this frame of that mind that has created issues for modern society. If there were limitations put on the usage of cars, then those rules would help maintain the environment, save car owners money, and create a feeling of bliss and serenity that has disappeared since the mass production of cars. So unless change is brought upon society, then people will be passing up on benefits that would better the whole world. Scientist have long realized that cars are a major cause to the pollution brought into society. From the waste produced while turning precious oil into gasoline, to the engines in millions of cars simultaneously burning gas. It is for this reason that limiting the use of cars would assist in saving and maintaining the environment. According to Robert Duffer, the author of the article "Paris Bans Driving Due to Somg", "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intesifying smog." What is also noteworthy is that this experiment by France officials was only in place for a matter of days. So after having smog that repotedly rivaled Beijing, China, the smog capital of the world, the smog that inhabited France was more than cut in half. If this can work in such a large scale like France, then it isn't unreasonable to believe that this same process can be done in other major regions. Saving the environment has become a priority around the world in recent years, and the idea of limiting the usage of cars could help to achieve that goal. Aside from the fact that the limitation of cars can save the environment, it can also save car owners money. When a person stops at a gas station to fill up their car, they can expect to spend between twenty and fifty dollars. However, if cars were to become less relevant, then this money can be used to fund other important aspects of a persons life. While this might seem far-fetched, according to Doug Short of Advisor Perspectives, "the number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter." This analysis helps to justify the fact that cars can eventually become less relevant and thus save people money. Also, money would be saved on not having to repair and maintain a car, or having to buy a car in general. This alone can save a car-owning household thousands of dollars each year. Saving the environment and money are always an obvious choice when explaining the benefits of limiting car usage, but another benefit would be obtaining bliss and serenity around the globe. Since the mass producion of cars, cities are always filled with the irritating sounds of a lively road. This has left many people to enjoy their walks, not to the sounds of children laughing and people conversing, but to the beeping and screeching of cars. However, in a city in Germany called Vauban, officials have successfully created a peaceful city that relies on walking and public transportation instead of cars. According to Heiden Walter, a media trainer and citizen in Vauban, "When I had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." This quote goes to show that the citizens don't feeled resticted, but released from their reliance on cars. So although it may seem difficult, putting limitations on cars can create a happier populants. Putting a limitation on the use of cars would not be a punishment like some would see it, but a way to better society. This limitation would help save and maintain the environment, save car owners money, and create bliss and serenity amongst people. As modern society continues to push forward and develop the next wave of advancements, putting limitations on the use of cars should be seen as a serious inquiry to leaders around the world.

Exploring Venus is an extremly dangerous idea but NASA continues to send unmanned space crafts, according to paragraph 2. If its so dangerous is there reasoning behind wanting to learn more about this red hot planet? Is there a chance that something could possibly live there again? Venus, a planet that is much like our own in many ways, is a very dangerous yet mysterious place. NASA says that at one point, according to paragraph 4, Venus could have been largely covered by oceans. Meaning that if it had water there is a slight chance that Venus could have inhabbited living things such as plants or bacteria. So now that NASA believes that there is a possibility that life could have occured on Venus at one point in time, why would they want to continue to explore it. If Venus had life on it some point in the past then there is a possibility that there could still be something there or that maybe even one day in the far future something could live there again, possibly including the human species. Then instead of vacationing to another country for a break you could vacation to an entirely different planet. If they continue to explore they could figure out so much more about this planet and possibly what we could do to save Venus and be able to have oceans and landforms and living creatures back on our sister planet.

So you say the discovery of the face Cydonia that was founded in Mars back in 1976 was created by aliens. I seem to disagree with your argument. As we have done more research here in NASA back in 2001 each pixel in the image spans 1.56 meters compared to 43 meter per pixel in the best 1976 image which means with the new and more improved technology we got a closer and better resolution of the face Cydonia on Mars which you so think was created by aliens. The recent image of Cydonia from 2001 has better pixel quality so that we can zoom in more to see if there are any other objects other than Cydonia such as cars or houses in which we both know don't exist in the red planet. Cydonia has unusual shadows that make it resemble a human head with it giving us an illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. What the picture actually show is the Martian equivalent of a butte Mesa which are also landforms that are commonly found in the American West. So as you know that after the discovery, photographing Cydonia has became one of our main priority for us here at NASA to prove that it wasn't created by aliens. I hope that after you heard my side of the argument you have a different view of Cydonia as it formed by itself in the red planet.

The passage, "Driveless Cars Are Coming", is an article explaing the topic of drivreless cars in the future. This passage explains how companies are creating driverless cars and explains how they will work. The author shows the readers the positive and negative aspects of driveless cars. Although there are multiple ways drivreless cars are helping society, they should not be made. Driverless cars may help people, but they are not proven to be all the way safe and they make it harder for the driver to stay focused. Driverless cars make it harder for the driver to stay focused on the road. Drivreless cars still need a driver just in case of an emergency. "Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents. So what roadblocks lie ahead for the autonomous car?". Even though the author is referring to Google driverless cars, he wants to know how other driverless cars will be similar or different from the other driverless cars. What happens if the driver is not focused when the car alerts them. The author says, "Manufacturers are also considering using camera to watch that the driver are remaining focused on the road. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver". The author is explaining how they will keep the driver focused, using technology. Since the cameras watch and alert the driver, what happens if the camera is not working that day? What if the driver was texting? What will happen to the driver? How will they stay focused? The driverless cars have postive aspects, but are not proven to be safe. The authors explains how the law is focused on keeping them safe. "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieves with alert drivers. Presently,traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times". The author is explaining how safety is acheived when humans are in control of the car no matter what. "As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars". The author is explaing that since driverless cars are not proven to be safe, they are illegal in most states."Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in case of an accident. If technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?". The author is showing the reader the conflict between the driver and the cars. Driverless cars have multiple positive aspects, but they will not help society until more evidence shows that they are proven to keep the driver focused and proven to keep the driver and others safe. People may argue that there should be driverless cars to make the society a better place, but driverless cars do not have enough evidence to prove to keep the driver focused and keep the the driver and other people safe. Yes, companies and automakers are continuing to work so that they are proven safe. For example, "Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time". The author is explaining how they are working to keep the people safe. But until they have found a way so that the cars are completely reliable and until they have solved the problems completely, there should be no driverless cars.

Driveless car, we have talked about driveless car for years and now that there here people are spectical. Driveless car they car cool that are a good form of public transportataion. Why you may ask brcause drunken drivers now dont have to spend money on a cab so instead they just drive drunk and some times kill people in carwrecks with the new technology this will be no problem you might say but on the oher hand these car are going to be expensive for the adverage human to buy. Some other issues are the computers so people are scared that he computer in the car will be abel to get hacked or it will shut off when your driving and you could wreck there is many ways that he computer could mess up so that is also a dangerous part of having a car that drives its self. There are some other great featurs that the car will have such as the traffic jam feature that will have heads up displays around he car telling you when your going to have to take over the car and drive it your self . The car also watches you and he road so that the car always knows if your ready to take the wheel or not. Although it is illegal to drive a computer opperated cars or even test them states like California, Nevada, Flordia and the District of Columbia are leading the United states in est self driving car manufactures such as Bmw, Tesla and gm have tested self driving car, also Google is testing self driving car. Also in 2016 Tesla released a driving car that can drive on auopilot 90% of the time. This is a huge step in making the roads safer it could help with drunken driviers it can make where there is less wrecks it is a all around better way to drive on the road. There is the other side of things people who arwe afriad of the computer controlling where they wreck or not and there is also people who just enjo to drive and go on thoese sunday crusies and be incontroll of there car not having the car drive them but them drive the car. Im more on there side of that is makes the roads safer so we should mass build them and make them at a cheap price where every one can get one.

Joining the Seagoing Cowboys program would be a great opperatonuty for you. This would let you see the world in a differnt way. You would get to travel the world. See differnt things and go siteseeing. This opperatonuty would let you have fun with work and and with your job by working with animails. There are many reasons why you schould join the Seagoing Cowboy program. One reason is this oppertonuty would let you see the world in a differnt way. It would make you aware of people and people of there other contries and there needs. It might evan lead you closer to makeing something good in this world. It led Luke Bombergers family to do amazing things like hosta number of international students and exchange visitors for many years. Another reason is this oppertonuty would let you travel the world , see new thing, and meet new people. On return trips after the animails have been unloaded you can paly games like Baseball and Volleyball games where the animails used to be hosted. Boxing, tabeltennis, fencing, whittiling, reading, and playing games also made it fun and let time pass quickley. Some people might say it would be to boring to be on a ship in the middle of the sea with nothing to do and they would miss friends and families because it a long trip. On the ship you have jobs and on the return trips you can play games in the stalls where the animails where hosted. They might also say they have no point in doing this. This would be a great oppertunity for anyone who loves farming evan if you don't you could learn a great lesson from this Seagoing Cowboy program. In conclusion going on this trip would be a great oppertonuty for any one. You could get a great life lesson out of this and you could meet new people and see differnt things. you could also have lots of fun on the return trips and with your jobs. You would get to play lots of games. If you get a good oppertonuty take it because most people don't get chances like this.

The technology to identify human emotion in my trance of thought its stupid. I don't think this would be helpful in a classroom because it would just be a waste. in my thoughts i think it would be a waste because some people that are having a bad day might just want to be left alone and not talk about there problems to people. The computer might be able to detect the persons emotions by characterlise there facial muscles by the expression movements but the student might be annoyed that it does this all the time and doesnt like it. In the article it says that " Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions." here it says that Dr. Huang studies different artists and there paintings and how some showed how they used there emotion and some didn't. Its a bad idea to modify a computer to read peoples emotions because when a kid is doing there homework and the kid is bored the computer is going to detect that the kid is bored from doing his/her homework and put a add with a video game and the kid is going to get distracted and fail the assingment.

Can you imagine not using a car when you go anywhere, not even up the road to the grocery store?  Some people can't imagine living without cars, whereas some people already have made the transition, or are beginning to make the transition.  Limiting car usage can cause people to be happier, have less stress, and can cause less pollution in the atmosphere for a healthier environment. Limiting car usage has been found to eliminate some of the stress people are having everyday.  Cars are another liability that put stress on people everyday.  What are you going to do if you get into a car accident, your car breaks down, or there is an overwhelming amount amount of traffic that causes you to be late to a big meeting.  Without cars, people dont have that burden on their shoulders to carry around.  In Vauban, Germany "70% of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57% 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." (Source 1 P3). Vauban is the beginning of what could be a worldwide transition that could help save the world. Saving the world may sound ridiculous when it comes to limiting the use of cars, but it's not.  Cars are one of the leading causes in pollution and greenhouse gasses and have a large effect on the atmosphere.  Cars influence the effect of global warming.  In Paris, the smog reached a near record high and the city had to limit the use of cars for a period of time until the smog levels decreased.  "Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussls, and 79.7 in London, Reuters found" (source 2 P17). Without the cars, the smog levels decreased and caused a healthier environment for the time being.  With limited use of cars, the air that we breathe everyday will be healthier, and the environment will begin to recover decreasing the levels of global warming, which could eventually severely hurt the planet if it continues. The need for owning a car has gone down in recent years, according to a study at the University of Michigan.  In large cities, people are living without cars just as easily as people that do have cars becuase of public transportation, and just walking places.  In both the USA and Colombia, people have shown that the need for cars is miniscule when you have other forms of transportation.  In Colombia, the city of Bogota had its third consecutive "car free day" which happens once a year.  The people of Bogota surprisingly enjoy it.  "Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work" (source 3 P20). This is an opportunity to do many things for the people that live there which include taking away stress, causing happiness, and even getting a little exercise in that they might not get everyday.  All in all, limiting the use of cars has proven to be effective everywhere it was tested. Without cars, people may say the world would be a different place, and they're right when they say that.  Who's to say it wouldnt be a better place?  All over the world, cities are limiting the use of cars and the effect has been surprisingly positive.  People are saying they feel less stressed, they feel happier, and the enivornment is happier too with less pollution.  Who knew something so little, could have this large of an effect on people everywhere?

UNRRA is a great group that helps countries that were just in war to recover and they have started a group of "seagoing cowboys". This a great thiing to particiapate in, so don't miss it. Some reasons to particapate are that it helps people, it may be a once in a lifetime experience, and it's fun. If helping others is important to you, wich it should be, you would love this experience. You can help people by supplying them with horses, cows, and mules according to the article "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves". Also you help alot of desperate families. Even if you don't want to deal with animals you can help by recovering people's food supplies and if you don't want to do that there is even more that you can help with. Also it could be a once in a lifetime experience. If you can't afford long distance travel this would be perfect because you get to travel and help people. Just think about it, a long time from now you might be thinking, "Man I wish I would have helped with that.", or something similare. By now you may be convinced that you would love this, but if you're not, think of how FUN it would be. After you help with your mission you can go visit places like a castle, the Acropolis in Greece, and even go to Venice, Italy according to the article: A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves. Also as you are returning to home you can do things like play baseball, volleyball, table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling according to the same article. Even though those are only a few reasons they would've conviced me to pariciapate. In my opinion, this would be an awesome opportunity for you to experince, so please don't miss it.

This passage will be about reasons to join the program. This program is and adventurous opportunity. You would travel all over the world to different countries. One reason you should attend this program is because it is a once in a lifetime event. You'd get to visit places all over the world. It would be very interesting and fun. According to the story, you could even help some countries that are poor and in need of food and supplies. Plus you'd get to sail a boat across the Atlantic ocean. While on this journey, you could learn so much different countries. If you are a traveler and a person who loves to learn about different countries, this program would be perfect for you. This is why people, and you, shoud attend this program. Its adventurous, learnful, and exciting. This program would be great for travelers and learners. You could learn so much about how countries spend their holidays also. These are all the reasons that people should join this activity. Maybe someday, one of those people will be you.

Have you ever wondered what else is beyond this planet earth. There is much more out there than what we know. The universe is a very great mystery. In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author focuses more toward the planet Venus. Venus is much more than what we believe it is. Venus is not just an ordianary planet it's much more. There are other things that could be threating on Venus because NASA does not have enough information as stated on Paragraph 2. Discovering Venus may be harder than NASA thought. First you would have to get the materials to be able to survive in Venus' enviornment. The materials to build the space ship and for the ship to function well. The people would also have to be trained very well for the circumstance they will have to face. It will be a challenge for the people going to Venus, but in the long run it will be helpful for NASA to retrieve all the information about Venus. Now the cost will be something very big. The suits for the people will cost a lot of money. The suits would have to withstand very high heat. The ship would have to withstand very high heat tempatures as well. The technology required will also be very expensive. Everything required for the mission will cost a lot of time and not only that, but a fortune. Since NASA doesn't know much about Venus they would have to send people very smart and with a lot of patience because in tough situations you will need to be calm and alerted. Venus also might have things we have never seen before like creatures or objects. The people in the ship would also need to have very good communication with each other. On Paragraph 4 it states "Astronomers are fascinated bu Venus because it may very well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solor system." NASA would have to make many caculations and work to get to Venus. It takes hard work and dedtication to get to where you want to be. Getting to Venus will be a challenge for NASA in many ways. NASA would have to cunduct a lot of research. NASA knowing very little of Venus will be even harder to get there. They are currently trying to get more research from Venus and are trying to make plans forpeople to head to Venus safely. NASA is curently working on many other approaches to learn more about Venus as stated on Paragraph 7. NASA will one day be able to send people to Venus and will be able to open many more doors to the future.

Many people think that the Face on Mars was created by aliens. It really isn't considering the fact that aliens do not exist. The Face was actually found by NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft, while it was circling the planet. It was on the red palnet caled Cydonia. Now at first all they saw was just a shadowy shape. It took about 25 years as you can see in the pictures, that they ould process out of how the shadowy figure actually looked. The scientists figured that it was just another Martian mesa 25 years ago."The autthors reasoned that it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars, when they unveiled the image for all to see." The face has starred in alot of films, and alll sorts of types of media. "The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude. M ost people aven some scientists from NASA wanted there to be an alien life form of some sort. There was no alien monument after all and after all skeptics say that perhaps alien markings were hidden by haze. Neverthless, The rock formation on the planet, was a natural landform. This proves that aliens are not real and that the rock was naturally transformed.

Now you can actually know how thye feel by an app. This is now something that is being used to recognise the emotions of old paintings and it might actually be good for people. it will be able to tell how you really feel, it can hlp kids in school. and it also helps produce emotions. We all know someone that says they are fine but they think something else, but we cant fingure out how they also feel. But with this new program it will be way easier and that is a good thing. "the software can even identifiy mixed emotions.... each expression is compared against a neutral face(showing no emotion)." Since this software can tell peoples emotions it could help in therapy with things, like if a person comes in for therapy but says they feel good about it but they dont act like it the therapist could do this test and see what they are having trouble with or how they really feel about the subject at hand. Some kids can get bored in school and just zone out because the material they are being taught does not click with them but that can be changed with this new program. " 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." this could benifit both the school system and the child. the child will be more attentive with the lesson if he or she understands it or they think it is interesting and then they might even score higher in school, and have a better futre. Some people might just look mean when you walk by them, or it may even be you that always gets asked "You always look mad so i dont talk to you." nut now since this program came out, the theory that comes with it is that it can help you produce new emotions. " According to the Facial feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even produce them." this can benifit poeple in many ways. They might become happier and more out going. They could have better oppertunities when it comes to work because they have a good attutide. This new facial feedback could be really good for us as people. it could halp many peoplr in thier lifes.

In different cities like Germany cars are really not needed as much as there are needed in America. A city such as Vauban, where cars are rarely even used. Most places have area's for cars to be parked "Forbidden", Around the French, Freiburg, and swiss borders. Vauban's streets are completely "Car-free", except for main thoroughfare. There are places that allow cars , like Freiburg's Downtown and a few streets on one edge of the community. There only two places to park-large garages at the edge of the development, by this car-owners space where he bought for $40,000, along with a home. only 70 percent of Vauban's families don't own cars , and 57 percent sold one just to move there. Cars are rarely needed in Vauban that people are immune to it. Some people say they are Healthier and Happier than most with cars. Media Trainer, Heidrun Walter A mother of two says "im much happier this way". As she enjoys and loves to walk the verdant streets where the chatter of wandering children and the swish of bicycles just drown out the occasional distant motor. Vauban completed in 2006 , is an example of a growing trend in Europe. The U.S and elsewhere to sepreate suburban life from auto use, as a componet of movement called"smart planning". Automobiles are the linchpin of surburbs, where middle class families from chicago to shanghai tend to make their homes. If you prefer a car instead of walking all over the place, there may be slight changes you will have to make towards your car. Like passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car instensive areas in United States. No matter if they have cars or not, Vauban home to 5,500 residents within rectangular square mile, may be the most advanced experiment in low-car suburban life. David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America, a fast-growing coalition of hundreds of groups in the U.S. More and more countries and cities are banning cars due to some of the cons that they do have , like pollution , leakings, car wrecks and many of congestions on streets and highways. There having more car-free days than anything else , cars are just not that important anymore in Europe. The end of the car culture is literally coming to an end. Even in the United States, Americans are buying fewer cars, Driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. Cars are just not that important anymore.

The concept of the automobile in the early 1900s was enough to make others pursue the dream of having one. As car dealerships made better looking, faster, high performance cars, the more people wanted them. After World War II when cars became inexpensive, more and more people had them. But it's also becoming an issue. Recently, that trend is going down. To begin, the car industry has been at an all time high. We're making cars so fuel efficient, it almost seems impossible. We even have hybrid cars, which run on electric and fuel (respectively). But with all of the cars out there, especially in the US, the pollution in nations and our own cities are at an all time high. China's air pollution is the worst in the world. Nations have been taking the initiative to partially ban car use for a few days. Paris for instance, banned motorists with even-numbered license plates from using their vehicles, switching to odd-numbered the following day. Furthermore, we have Bogota, Colombia who took a different approach to the rising air pollution. Instead of what Paris did, they banned automobile use in general, for one day. Buses and taxis still ran, but private vehicles did not. This seeminly little feat over time has done wonders on the city. More and more cities, including nations, are beginning this practice. To sum things up, we see that there are advantages (and of course disadvantages) to limiting car use. Companies may lose money if they transport items. But as a whole, it's only a few days. Or even one day, that no one drives a vehicle. It's a perfect time to ride a bike, and lower air pollution in a city.

The masking face on mars was taking in 1976 by NASA it is really a mesa. (1) Nasa's viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet snapping photos of landing sites for its sister ship vicking 2. When it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. it could've been created by the wind and rocks.It came from a red planet called Cydonia.(2) Scientists figured it was just another martian mesa because,its common around Cydonia this one just had a unusual shadows that made it look like a Egyptian Pharaoh.(3) Nasa unveild the image for all to see. The caption said "huge rock formation wich resembles human head formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes nose and mouth. This attracted alot of attention to mars.(5) the face was starred in hollywood films.(7) April 5, 1998 Mars global surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. Michael and his Mars orbiter camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the origanl viking photos. Web surfers were waiting when the image first appered on JPL web site, revealing a natural landform,there was no alien monument after all.(8) The face of mars is located at 41 degrees north matian latitude where it was winter in April '98 cloudy time of the year.

First, I have to say that from Lukes point of veiw he is saying that being a Seagoing Cowboy is good because your giving supplies to countries so they can rebuild their country and you get to travel world, so it's a win win. Luke would want people to join because joining forces with countries to help other countries is something that is helping the less fortunate countries. Some peolpe just think their going over sea to help other people and that's boring,but, when your heading back home you can use the empty space that you put the supplies in for fun activities. I think people should join the UNRRA(the United National Relief and Rehabilitation Assosiation). Next, Luke would want people to join because you never know what you might learn over sea. You may learn how to do things you never knew how to do like fishing or you might learn about the different countries you go to and you could share that knowledge with your friends when you get home. You could even visit muesems and see things you never knew existed. The things you see could inspire you to make something compared to that and it might be in a muesem one day. Finally, Joining the UNRRA is a great oppurtunity because you can do and learn thing you never knew how to do and learn you never knew about the country you might be inat that moment. You could visit muesems and see acieneit artifacts. You could see famous art pecies painted by really famous painters. If people would give the UNRRA a chance you could probably have a very nuce timeand think about inspiring kids to join when they grow up.

What has the world come to? Technology is improving each and every day. People are comming up with new inventions such as: iwatches, wireless headphones, and many more amazing gadgets. It crazy how much the world relies on technology now and days. For the most, part people use technology everywheer they go. In the artical, "Driverless Cars Are Comming" , it states pros amd cons of having this invention. I believe that driverless cars can be dangerous! It can also lead to more car accidents. With the driverless cars humans would have no control over the car. This comes to show that the developement of these cars would not be safe for the people across the world. The idea of driverless cars would not be safe because people would not pay attention to the roads as much. As stated in the article, "This means the human river must remain alert and be ready to take over when this situation occurs." This specific quote shows that driverless cars can be extremely dangerous. People in the drivers seat would have to be alert at all times. Sometimes, people are doing other things in the drivers seat such as: falling asleep, on the phone, or just completely not paying attention to the road. These things that were just listed are some of the main reason why there are so many car accidents that occur on the side of the road. In reality, there are certain laws that apply when people are driving. "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best avhieved with alert drivers." This quote comes to further prove my point that the idea of driverless cars would not be a good thing. The passage also says, "in most states is is illegal even to test computer-driven cars." It is illegal for inventions like driverless cars to be tested. So ... What's the point ? "Why would anyone want a driveerless car that still needs a driver?" This evidence comes to show that driverless car are not neccessary in the world and would just cause more problems. In conclusion, the negative aspects presented in this passage further prove that driverless cars are not safe and are useless if a person is still need in the car just in case.

There are many advantages to limiting the number of cars on the roads. There are many reasons to not drive as much but there is still a lot of driving. People are taking action in decreasing the number of cars still being driven. There needs to be a smaller number of drivers. Driving isn't a life or death deal, we lived witout it for tens of thousands of years, There are a lot of reasons to decrease driving numbers. The most important reasons in my opinion are environmental issues. There are so many gases produced my cars such as carbon monoxide that hurt our atmosphere. The air has been filled with pollutants that are devestating our whole world. Too much exposure to certain gases can be fatal. Driving is not worth polluting and hurting our atmosphere. Many places have alredy taken action in reducing the number of cars on the road. Vuban, a German suburb, has banned the use of personal vehicles. As a result, 70 percent of families who reside in Vuban do not own a car. They simply walk or ride bikes everywhere with only a few buses to transport the citizens. Heidrun Walter says "When I had a  car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Paris did an experiment with not letting even-number plated cars had to find another way of transportation for one day and odd-number plated cars do the same the next day. Each violator was fined 22 euros or $31. They repeated that cycle for about a week. The amount of smog decreased drastically. Even Bogata has their "Day Without Cars." They've held the event for 3 years straight. Violators faced a $25 fine. In result of that, two other Columbian cities, Cali and Valledupar, have joined the event. In the past couple of years there haven't been that many new drivers joining the crowd. A study has shown that there has been a 23% decrease of new drivers between 2001 and 2009. I guess that people don't have the need to drive everywhere now. The number of miles driven was peaked in 2005. Ever since then people have been driving less. We are now at the same number of miles driven as in 1995. People also haven't been buying new cars as often as they used to. All in all, there are many advantages of driving less. There isn't as much of pollution being created. If we stay on the same track, we can stop polluting the earth with as many harsh gases and chemicals. There would be more healthy wildlife as well. I understand that transportation is a must, but find more ecologically friendly ways to do it such as car pooling or riding the bus or walking. There are many solutions, we just need to find them.  

Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The reason why I say this is because Scientists keep on finding more way to study and to go to Venus. The excerpt explains that scientists are looking into making vehicles hovering over Veuns so that they could avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of the way. Many of the researchers are working on the innovations that would allow the machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to there knowledge of venus. Scientists are seeking to confuct the mission to understand venus therefore they would need to get up close and personal despite all the risks. The conditions are as far more ectreme than anything humans enconutered on the earth; such as environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts and the scientists are willing to take risks to find more things about Venus. Veuns is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers

When one reaches 16 years of age, they have the ability to drive on their own in the streets but now, will one really need a driver's license? Google is in the process of making their own self driving cars to eventually put them out intothe world for everyone to have. These cars may have its good points but it also has its bad points. Ultimately, I think developing these cars are a bad thing to do. These cars may cause more lack of effort but also they cause danger to citizens, danger to the driver, and more problems for the company. You could even say one crash could cause an explosion. In the text of "Driverless Cars Are Coming", the author talks about the point of cars being developed by Google that do not need drivers to drive. The gives some positive aspects of the idea, but also negative. I think the negative rules out the positive. The text says "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 manufacturer?" This point brings up the problems of the manufacturer/company, but also brings up the fact that an incident can in fact happen. "In the case of an accident...if the technology fails" are the points that show technology is not perfect, it has its flaws, so having technology take the wheel is just as bad as a person and maybe worse. "traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer driven cars." States even say that the driverless cars must be restricted because of lack of safety. This quote shows that the driverless cars are overall not safe to civilians and the ones who, apparently, ride in it. Driverless cars may sound like a benefit but technology has the same what if risk as a person does. In the year of 2015, there has been more car crashes then there has been by far and that is because of texting and driving. If people were not at the wheel and driving there would not be anymore car crashes, right? This would not be true, glitches, hacks, and theft has happened this year, as well and all 3 things happened because of the lack in control over technology; we can not depend on it. If we do, there could be even new ways to cause destruction. Hacks on cars and theft of cars to cause more escaped criminals. The more ways to build and create, the more ways to destroy and wreak havoc. In conclusion, driverless cars are more dangerous than constructive based on the negative aspects of them. The driverless cars may be smarter and better but also has more of a percentage rate to get into accidents and cause more trouble. While Google develops so does the criminals who hear of them. There are not only unnatrural ways of havoc, there is also natural ways, some that even scientist can not predict; the volume of a storm.

Venus is considered the Earth's twin because of it's similar size to the Earth and how close it is. However we can not send a spacecraft on Venus because of it's dangerous environment that doesn't possible for humans to land in. The author supports the idea that studying Venus is worthy despite the dangers by explain how there's interest in Venus, the dangerous factors in Venus's environment, and how scientist are trying understand Venus. Despite having unhabitable conditions, Astromoners are interested of how Venus used to be the earth-like planet in the solar system. In the fourth paragraph the author states, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." These raises the possibilitly that we could travel to Venus since it's geostructure and atmosphere used to be so similiar to Earth's. The author explains that while that dangers in studying Venus, these factors present more of a challenge for human-space activity. In the article, the author states that Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is close to our sun. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venisian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting Volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on it's surface." However the author also states, "Striving to meet the challenge presentted 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." The authors explains that while Venus's environment may not be survivable for humans but we let our travel into space be limited by the dangers of one planet. Finally, author explains that reseachers are working and innovating to make it possible for us to study Venus. In paragraph 7, the authors states, "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted three weeks in such conditions. Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers." Reseachers are conducting experiment to see if we have resources that handle the conditions of Venus's surface how we can use old technology to help us on the journey. While the journey to travel to Venus may prose dangerous, the author supports that Venus is worth the pursuit by explaining the motivation for explorating Venus, how the dangerous environment may prove to be a challenge and how researchers are working on innovations to help us understand Venus.

"The Search For Venus" Venus is know as a planet, sometimes called the "Evening Star". It's even called the earths twin because both Earth and Venus have the closest terms of density and size. even sometimes closests in distance, but scientist have to realise the danders of Venus, "its proven a very challenging place to examine more closely" reasons why is because due to the thick atmosphere of 97 percent which is carbon dioxide that blankets Venus. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is planning to send humans to study Venus and learn more about it. There soultion for them to be able to do this is that due to the hostile conditions of the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray, example like they said "imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the landscape." which what they would be doing if they were to float above it. The only bad thing about what they are trying to do, is the dangerous conditions. Its far more extreme than what any human has encountered on Earth. Reasons why is because Venus has clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in it's atmosphere. It's temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. It would be best for scientists to study more on the planet of Venus and on how the atmosphere works, and how we can adapt to it'senviorment if we can even adapt to it with out anything bad happening. Which we do have the technology to do all this, but it will take time to make sure everything should be how it should be so that things are capable of the planets atmosphere, like a rocket ship that could be launched to Venus. Like for example if NASA just built a rocket ship and launched it to Venus without knowing the outcome it could end bad. Reasoning to this because they might not have knew the temperature of the planet, or maybe not even know what the atmosphere is capable of doing to the ship or the humans if they were to go on a mission. It took years to study Mars, and NASA is still finding stuff out about Mars to this day. They said "just exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin." What they are saying is that if we do not study Venus enough a mission could go really bad which will no be good nor NASA. Due to what we didn't know about the planet. Just sending out a ship to Venus with out not knowing what can happen would never be a good idea, better safe than sorry. The author is right about his ideas that studying Venus would be a worthy pursuit despite what could happen, because they can take the time to study more and more and figure what the planet is like, no matter how long it might take to reach the planet and get to get up closer to the planet wihtout anything going wrong. Not every planet is the same, and why isbecause how the solar system works. Like Mercury its closest to the sun and the planet is not capable of having life living on it due to how hot it is. So it's a good idea for scientists to study the plants before just making a mission to Venus.

I am against driverless cars because I think the electrical components and computer software are more likely to fail than a human driver. The idea of a driverless or smart car was actually a really dumb idea if the smart car was really 'smart' then it could navigate its way through roadwork but people just keep getting lazier and lazier their always looking for much easier ways of doing stuff, my personal opinion is that we need to go back to making vehicles like we did in the 1970s they were simple, easy to fix, and were real nice looking vehicles. The human drivers of a driverless car can easily be distracted by all this technology the car manufacturers have put in and on these vehicles that they could be driving and end up in a fatal crash just because they was distracted by some 3-D lazer mapping or a camera on the inside of the car. These kind of cars would change the world but people would regret it later on in the years when more and more people get killed because of them. If it ever happens I do not care what people say or do I am still going to have a completly human driven vehicle i would not buy one of those junk driverless ones.

Seagoing Cowboys need more members. The benefits of becoming a Seagoing Cowboy are visiting exciting places, becoming more aware of people who need help, a young man might not get drafted into the army, and there is ways that the boys find to have fun after the cattle has been unloaded. Being able to travel all across the world is a benefit of being a Seagoing Cowboy. Many take tours and go sightseeing at each destination they arrive at. A Seagoing Cowboy will become more aware of the people in need that are around them every single day. Luke Bomberger was a Cowboy and after he was discharged his family hosted a good number of exchage visitors and international students. Another reason someone might join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that they might not get drafted in the army if they are the correct age of 18. They army would see that they are already helping out in the war. They would be helping in the war by bring cattle to the countries that lost most of their cattle and fields. After the cattle had been unloaded all of the boy on board the ship would play baseball and volleyball in the hold where the cattle had been. Whittling, reading, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, and other games were used to pass the time. Being a Seagoing Cowboy let the boys visit exciting places and become more aware of people who need help. A young man might not get drafted into the army and there is ways that the boys find to have fun after the cattle has been unloaded. All of these reasons lead up to joining the Cowboys as soon as possible.

"The evening star" venus, is one of the brightest points in the sky. Venus is the second planet away from the sun. Venus can be reffered to as earth's twin because of size and distance from eachother. Earth, Venus, and Mars are the closest to eachother. There can possibly be life on Mars but not really on venus. Venus' temperature is really really hot which means there is automaticly no possible life on Venus. The text states "on planet's surface temperatures average 800 degrees faranheit". This let's me know that there is no possible life Venus. The text also states that "Venus has the most hottest temperature on surface than any other planet". That is another reason why,but it states in the text that it is 180 degrees farenheit when you are 30 miles plus away from venus. I don't think we can resist that type of temperature either, but it says that we can but hardly. The atmospheric pressure of venus is also crazy. The text states that "the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience". This let's me know that if try and go into the atmosphere, we would automatically explode. Many erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting happen in Venus as well. Even though mercury is closer to the sun, Venus still has the hottest temperature o surface. Scientists are still trying to study Venus to see if we can have a chance. You're probably thinking that if the planet is literally unable to live in, why still do visits? Well it states in the passage that "it once was the most earthlike planet on our solar sytem". The reason for this is because long ago, Venus was covered in oceans and could have supported various life forms. Scientist are really crazy for that and if they do send out people to study and stuff, they're just letting people die. The reason I say this is because the temperature and atmospheric pressure is insane. Personally I think that it is not a worthy pursuit to go travel to Venus and perform a few studies. You literally can die while going over there and if the person dies, how are you supposed to know the studies they performed. Honestly I wouldn't do it, but NASA does pay a lot of money, But what's more important, getting the money and have a possible chance of dying or just be safe and sound? Personally I would chose to be safe and sound because one, outer space doesn't really draw my attention. The second one is I would like to be safe and not go through that experience. Now which one would you choose?

Growing up, watching shows that had futurisic characteristics, i have always dreamed of having a car that could drive its self. A car that would go the speedyou would tell it to go and let you sit back relax and let you enjoy yourself. Although i have always wanted one in the future,I realize that they are very dangerous and require a lot of cooperation at some times The driverless cars could make a great impact on society if people started to obtain them. They use much less gas and not give off as much pollution. For example, the first paragraph states "The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." But although i see the many pros that come with the driverless cars, i aslo see the cons. Paragrap seven states "This means the juman driver must remain alert and be ready to quickly get the driver's attention whenever a problem occurs. The quote shows that although the cars are technically driverless, if they get in a complicated situation that they can not handle themselves, then the driver must be able to quickly react to change the situation. This would lead to lots of dangerous accidents. For example if the driver falls asleep and the car needs the humans help, the human may not be able to wake up in time befor the problem occurs. Also im guessing that the car would not have much time to alert the driver before a problem or accident occurs. One last thing that is bad about these cars are that if they get into an accident then the driver is fully responsible for them. Why should the non driver be blamed for the vars theat are suppose to be "driverless." Driverless cars can bring many new things to us such as lower gas milage and less polution but overall, the driverless cars are not needed and can cause many problems. The car can get into accidents that humans are not responsible for and require a lot of human assistance which really would make the car "driverless."So if the problems could be fixed with the current condition of driverless cars then i would be happy to see them on the road, but until then I think it is much better to use the same cars that we have been using for years.

No i think having technology to read a emotional expressions of students. I think that is really not a good idea . Why because somebody dont like to know how they feeling some people don't like to express their feelings cause it's nobodys bussnies . Tell me would you let them use and technology to read your emotions somepeople would say yes somepeople would no because either the way it goes your still messing being in somebodys else bussnies and some people don't like when they do things like this makes people think that where watching their life . No i disager with the technology to read emotional expression becaue it's like their trying to find a good way to gets us totechnology againts use and try to take over are emotions think about it. Think about how something bad can happen ifthey use the technology to read expressed something can go wrong to where the technology ain't gone be working like its is supposed i think they trying to use itn against take over are mine makes us feel how they want us to feel say what they want us to say

I'm here to inform all of you fellow citizens, about the advantages of limiting car usage. Car's do lots of things for you; get you to places, help you not have to hurt your feet walking, but they also do other things that aren't so good for you. For example, cars pollute the air, they put your town or city or country even into debt, and they cause for less use of other equipment which could have a say so in the rise of the obesity as well. It's all a matter of how you look at things. Car's let out a lot more pollution that you think. Especially bigger vehiciles such as trucks. Trucks contain disel which cause smog in the air. If you dont want your air to be filled with smog, you might as well just stop driving cars! Not just trucks though, cars have a big part in pollution too. In the story, "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky, it say's "The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog." (Lines 24-25). That is saying that a goal there, in Bogota is too limit the amount of vehicle use so theres less pollution. With all of the highways being put in and buildings being deystroyed for the highways, they are being made for one reason. Vehiciles and trasnportation. There is suburbs and trains, and taxies and many ways for people to get around other than cars. A lot of people are losing there houses because they have to be knocked down for new highways. People are becoming unemployed because they are having to knock down stores and buildings that contain many, many jobs. All this can be fixed if there wasnt cars! With cars being around, everyone wants to just get out and drive everywhere. Nobody wants to walk, run, bicycle or any other kind of excersice activity to get there. If cars stick around the obesity level is going to keep increasing because everyone is going to be able to sit in a car and drive everywhere and not get any kind of exercise. If cars werent around and people had to get to work, school, etc. they would walk or ride a bike or walk to a train station or bus station to get a ride from there. Thats a good few minutes of walking which could very much lower the levels of calories and burn fat in you. It's all a matter of reasoning. There is many advantages of not having cars. Youd on't have to just not use a car all the time, you could just limit your to your car at a certain time. Don't always depend on your car to get you somewhere. What if one day your car breaks down, you run out of gas? Then what are you going to do? Your gonna be too big to walk, or you'll walk but get tired. You and your fellow citizens around you need to think about these things. Thats why, there is many advanatges.

I belive that the Face on Mars is just a natural landform because it is not possible for people to live on Mars, there are no such thing as aliens, and why would there just be a head shape object and not the rest of the body. In the passage it says, "There was no alien monument after all." Also how could there be life on Mars. Mars has no oxygen so people can breathe. All NASA wanted to do was ," engage public and attract attention to Mars." also in the text it states that NASA said," huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shodows giving the illusionb of eues, nose and mouth." The Face on Mars is not real because it is just a natural landform caused by erosion and broken rocks. An example from the text is, "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform." Secondly another reason the Face is a nautural landfrom is because it is not possible for people to live on Mars. Studies have shown that there is no oxygen on Mars and people can not breathe there. Also the preasure of the gravity on Mars would be too much for a human and could crush their bones and musles. Thirdly, why would the rest of the body not be with the Face. That proves that the Face is just a natural landfrom create by erosion and rocks because if the Face was there on the ground why wouldnt the rest of the body by with the Face. In conclusion the face is just a natural landfrom becuase NASA have send rovers up to Mars to take pictures of the Face and NASA said themselves,"when the first image appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. So that is why the Face is just a natural landform. Also in the text it states," New high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa."

Today is the day where children are coming to tour NASA. As I am walking around, I think of questions the children might ask. "Who was the first person on the moon?", is the most frequently asked question. Then I remember that there is a new part in NASA's building. Recently, they added photos and information on the "Face on Mars". I think to myself, "This should definately intrest the children." Soon enough, a little yellow bus pulled into the parking lot. Five children came tumbling out, all excited to see what is indoors. "Asher, stop it!", a little brown haired girl yelled. As soon as they were all out, the stood in a straight line, covering their eyes from the sun while looking at the huge building. I look the children's faces. I only know one child, because another said his name. "Welcome to NASA. We are so very glad you guys could come. Please, let me introduce myself. I am Maddie, and I will be showing you around today. Follow me inside, so we can get out of this dreadful heat!", I say. The five children come chasing after me, and their teacher tells them to slow down. One by one, the children enter the building, fascinated by all the pictures hanging from the walls. Asher asks, "Are aliens really real?". As I go to respond, the little brown haired girl says, "Of course not. That's just in movies. I want to know about the Face on Mars.". I was stunned she knew about that, because it was just recently added on NASA's walls. I lead the children to the elevator, which just so happened to be across the room. "Let's go and see the Face on Mars. I think I should tell you about it first. The Face on Mars is a natural landform which-" I was then interupted by a new face. "It is not a natural landform, my sister told me that it was created by the aliens." I give her a puzzled look and respond, "We have not found any form of life on Mars, or anywhere for that matter, excluding Earth. As I was saying, the Face on Mars in a natural landform which means that it happened naturally. It was not made by any aliens". The girl looked at me, frusterated, and said, "Prove it." The elevator door opens and the children come swarming out, running up to the pictures of the Face. I say, "Here, it says that the Face is a "huge rock formation", so that means that when the universe was created, so was that rock. That rock is just shaped like a head.". All of a sudden, the young girl smiled and said, "Oh, I can't wait to tell my sister that she was wrong!" The children wrote everything I told them down in their notebooks. Shortly, we had to part and say goodbye. The kids all came up and hugged me, saying that they were thankful for getting chosen to come. They piled back into the bus this time, instead of piling out. I waved goodbye as they set off. In conclusion, the kids all realized that the Face, is just a natural landform, made when Mars was created or after. The children know that still to this day, we are looking all over the universe to find something new and exciting to share with them. I am so gald that they could come and experience this with us.

Germany,France, and Columbia,all have something in common, they are cutting down on car pollution. Car polluton is rising problem in the world, making up almost fifty percent of the United States' pollution and twelve percent in Europe. From making cars distinct from everday life to banning all cars for a day,these countries are trying to cutdown on the car pollution build up. One of the biggest feats in trying to cutdown car pollution is making it an unusal thing in everyday life for a city in Germany known as VAUBAN.This city does not ban cars but even then only about thirty percent of residents in this city own a car and fifty-seven percent have sold their own cars to move here. This city is a home to a mere 5,500 residents, but they all live with in a rectangular square mile. This shows that it is possible to live without cars as personal transport and still be with in reach of stores, work and home. Another city taking a big step in the fight against car pollution is the well known city of Paris,France. Paris has enforce a partial driving ban in its streets to hopefully clear or cut the air of pollution. The city has made an odd law, "On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." When this law was first enforced nearly 4,000 drivers were fined accoding to Reuters. This law was meant to exterminate the smog becuase the city was rivaling one of the most polluted cities in the world, Bejing,China. One of the other cities creating a anti-car pollution act is Bogota, Columbia. The city of Bogota has created an annual "Day without cars" which is fine with the residents. Instead of cars residents use bikes and buses and other modes of transportation to travel around the city. This event has been rubbing of on a fellow cities in the area. The cutdown on pollution here is slight but will slowly make an impact over time when this annual "Day without cars" begins to take place in multiple other cities, hopefully, instead of these three cities. Avoiding car usage is a difficult feat to an everyday car user but if you can avoid it then it can really effect the enviorment in a positive way. Making a day for no cars or at least a small amount of car usage can really impact the enviorment. This movement has even begun to start in the United States and hopefully will continue from then on into the future when we eventually have a whole lot of fueless cars for everyone to drive in.

Many cities are experiencing perhaps the biggest economic change being implemented into society since the invention of the Model T. People just simply aren't interested in attaining a personal vehicle, or even a license for that matter. As a result, many personal vehicle companies are starting to become more "mobile" to stay with the times, or become bankrupt due to being stagnant in sales. Not owning a car has actually proved to come with more advantages than if owning a car. Such as, less carbon emissions in the air, less stress in certain communites where car-free zones are being implemented, and finally restaurants and stores becoming more "cropped up" due to rush-hour restrictions; essentially boosting the economy. The lack of car use has fundamentally benefitted the environment as an entirety. Cars emit carbon emissions into the air that are not only harmful to many animals, but to humans as well. According to Source 2, in Paris, France alone, it was shown that "due to the use of diesel fuel over regular fuel, there were 147 micrograms of particle matter per cubic meter." Comparing this to other major cities in Europe that find more use for regular gasoline, you'll find that the results are less. In Brussels, there were 114 micrograms of PM per cubic meter, and in London, 79.7. Even though areas that used more regular fuel over diesel fuel were significantly lower in micrograms of particle matter, even 79.7 micrograms can be potentially fatal, and cause lung-related health problems in the later lives of the people occupying these areas. Officials not only in Paris, but also in major cities such as Bogota, Colombia and New York City, New York have also began to take a stand. In Paris, France for example, "there are certain days in which cars cannot be driven by people with license plates ending in even numbers, and the next day by people with license plates ending in odd numbers. This new way of thinking has been implemented into the French law system to help decrease the amount of pollution in the air." (Source 2) Bogota has also found a unique approach to a less polluted environment. "Car-free day is a day in which no cars are driven, with the exception of buses and taxis." (Source 3) Finally, New York City has implemented a "new bike-sharing program in which bicycles can be rented for a cost-effective amount. In addition to this, bridge and tunnel tolls have also reflected these new priorities by skyrocketing in price." (Source 4) These new implementations have proved beneficial in decreasing the amount of carbon emissions in the air. Many communities have not only found a way to reduce pollution in the air, but also live a more stress-free lifestyle. Stress and rush-hour are known to have some corollation, but newer communites are starting to take a stand by limiting the amount of car usage in their area. Vauban, Germany, a newer community only just established in 2006, is an example of one of these communites that has started to "smart plan." Over 70 percent of Vauban's occupants don't own a car, and 57 percent have sold a car to move there." (Source 1) A happier lifestyle has appeared as a result. According to Heidrun Walter, an occupant in Vauban. When she had a car, she was always "tense." But now, she's a much happier mother of two, and the distant hum of an occasional motor vehicle is drowned out by the "chattering of wandering children." (Source 1) In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is suggesting that we start implementing these "car reduced" communities in our nation to better society, as well as to provide a more stress-free environment for these new communites' residents. (Source 1) Even in Bogota, people have said that the use of no cars is a "great opportunity that has taken away stress and lowered air pollution." (Source 3) Not only has pollution been reduced in all of this or the fact that a factor attributing to stress has also been removed, but areas where these communites are starting to form, have also boosted the economy. In Bogota, it has been reported that due to Car-free day, that both "parks and sports centers have started to appear throughout the city. In additon to this, sidewalks have been replaced by more broad, smooth sidewalks. As well as, rush-hour traffic has been cut, allowing new restaurants and upscale shopping districts to flourish." (Source 3) "Cars are starting to become a thing of the past," according to Mimi Sheller, a sociology professor at Drexel University. Even her children (19 and 21) don't have licenses. "They say they're interested, but it's not a priority for them," she later goes on to say. As a result, gas money is saved, and people can spend more money on things that matter to them. In conclusion, it has been displayed that the advantages of not using a car are starting to outweight the benefits. The lack of car use in these car-free communities is helping to reduce stress and tension on the road, boost not only the community's economy, but also the entire nation's economy as well. In addition to this, the lack of car use is also helping to preserve the environment, by reducing carbon emissions into the air. According to many sociologists and business professionals, the downfall of the car may well be on its way, but it may not be such a bad thing.                                

Twenty five years ago , NASA'S Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet. There was a face on mars but it wasnt really a face it was a mesa. But to me it kind of looked like a face popping out oof the mars planet. But it is kind of wierd that someone pictured a face on the earths planet like that. I think it became popular. Some scientists believed it was an alien articraft, but it probably was but i think it wasnt. I just think it was a rock shaped like a face to me. The face of mars is located at 41 degrees norht martian latitude. If i was in space i wish i would be the first one to discover that face because i could probaby get famous or get a lot of money. The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the face. Perhaps alien markings were hidden by haze. What the picture really shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. But thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site. There was no alien after all. But a few days later NASA unveiled the image for all to see. But the caption noted a huge rock. No face at all. The Face on Mars has become a pop icon. So it is popular. It starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years. That is amazing this face on mars has a become very famous and very known. Some people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on mars, evidence that NASA would rather hide.

the author supports his ideas very well because, he tells why its important to study venus and why it is the worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The author also says ¨venuse is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size¨.They have aslo sent numerous spacecrafts and have done previouse missions. The pervious missions was unmanned. There has not been a spaceship that has touched venuse and why, the author said that gthe reason that spaceship or has not landed was becuse it would not last mor than just a few hours. The author supports the idea that studying venus is worthy pursuit despit the dangers, because know that i read the story icould see why. Venus might be dangers to go to and explore but by making spacecrafts and more andmakeing experiment it probably would not be so dangerous to send spacecraft or maybe a spaceshit to try it out again.

Everyday, citizens drive their vehicles to get to their destination. No one really stops to think how limiting car usage could be good for the enviroment. If citizens limit the amount of times they drive their car, there would be less traffic. There would also be less pollution and less stress for citizens. Traffic is a growing problem that tends to back up main streets, highways, and even back streets at times. In Bogota, Colombia they have a day devoted entirely to not driving a vehicle unless it is public transportation. "It leaves the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams," as stated in source 3. Limiting car usage could prevent heavy traffic, accidents, and serious collisions. As fellow citizens, people should want to keep their enviroment pollution free. Pollution and vehicles go hand in hand when it comes to why limiting car usage is a good thing. Source 2 states, " Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five days of intense smog." Smog is just like fog but it is thicker, more dense, and is harder to see through. That comes from the bad fumes that comes from many cars crowding up the streets. Due to the pollution the vehicles caused, no one is able to drive during smog which is why there was no traffic. In Paris, just like Colombia, they have stopped people from driving all the time. In Germany, many people have given up their cars. The citizens enjoy the stress free lifestyle of not having to drive a vehicle. "When I had a car I was always tense. Im much happier this way," as stated by a mother of two. Limiting your car usage can prevent many stressful things from happening during the day. Public transportion is another way someone can get to where they need to be. Citizens drive their vehicles everyday without ever thinking of how good limiting car usage could be. The limitation of cars reduces traffic, pollution, and stress throughout the day. Not driving as much gives you a chance to actually stop and "smell the roses." Driving is not always a good idea for people or for the environment around them.          

Well, first of all I agree with the new technology called the Facial Action Coding Systyem that enables computers to identify human emotions and I think the use of the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because some students might be having some troubles fixing their emotions, and i'm not sure if the essay is to write about the teachers using it to read the students emotions or it is the students theirselves that are using it to read their own expressions, eitherway i'm going to write about the two topics. About what I said about the students fixing their emotions is that some of the students might be so emotional that any little thing like when someone curses them they start crying, they might want to use this technology to see how their emotions are high or low, so they keep track of it and reduce the emotions till their brave enough to face anyone without having a lot of fear in them. And some of the students might have too much anger and they want to reduce it before it cause trouble for them and they might try it(Facial Action Coding System.) Secondly, about the other topic is that teachers might want to see how their students are feeling, maybe sad or they have something in their mind that is giving them trouble in school or anywhere, because some teachers care for their students and they could ask what the problem is and the teacher might make the student happy by relieving them from the pain they had being through or stress, the student might even forget he/she had a problem because some teachers are good in making people smile like what the article says, "Putting on a happy face" actually works!"

the author supports going to venus for further study bcause he wants to see if there might have had life on venus. He also thinks that venus might have been more like earth. The reason why the author would want to go back to venus is to see what happend to it but the reason humans have not been back to venus in nearly 3 decades is because the rovers cant take the preassure and heat on the planet and break in 30 or less minutes. Humans want to go so they are making prototypes of diffrent things like a blimp like vehicle that would stay 30 miles in the air that would study but the problem with tht vehicle is that no light can penetrate throw the clouds so they couldnt see anything. but they might you something called a mechinacal computer that dosnt need a battery it is operated with gears and levers so it could with stand harsh enviorments. the reason we we cant use a computer for example is because the elctronics would melt and imploud because of the emensece preassure on the surface of venus. So the auther is for going back to venus but humans need to figure out how to get back to venus saftly and effectively so that humans ca acualy do reasarch on the planet and not just send a rover that will malfuction in 30 or less minustes and see if there was once life on venus.

The "face" on mars is indeed not actually a face at all and it was not created by aliens. Many people may think it was. Based on all of the facts that we have gathered here at NASA, the claims of this rock formation being created by terrestrials is simply not true. Here at NASA we have the equipment to tell us if it is terrestrial or not. One thing we discovered in our research was throughout the years that we have taken these photographs that the "face" has started to just look like a big rock. It was due to the shading that the "face" looked like it had eyes and a nose. We also discovered that the rock formation is much like some of the formations here on Earth. All of the Earth formations were caused naturally and not by aliens. The fact that it was a cloudy season when the last picture was taken is true. Although in the picture we can see that it was clear. In conclusion with all of the facts we have found this is indeed not a face created by aliens. There is enough evidence to tell us this. If it was an alien structure then we would benefit from it. We could learn about how advanced they were, but this was not created by aliens. It was simply just a messa or rock formation that looked like a face do to the sunlight that caused the shaded regions.

Can you see the emotions in the Mona Lisa? A latest technology that can recognize emotions was the latest innovation from Prof. This technology claims it has the ability to read every emotion, even in pictures. Is this a reliable technology or is this something that isnt exact? The recent technology on seeing emotions talks about how the Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disguested, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. How can we know if this is true because we were not there to tell what her emotions where. Yes you can see some emotion in her painting, because it states that Da Vinci studied the human anatomy so that it would help him with painting facial muslces precisely to show emotion. This technology can be good for some purposes. Dr. Huang makes a statement saying, "A classroom computer could tell when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human structor." This is a good factor, because this can help students with school so theyre not falling behind. Overall this technology may have some pros, and it has some cons. If you put it to good use like for instince helping kids when theyre confused or bored it will show them other ways which is good. Then you have your cons. This technology might not always be precise and at some point this could lead to problems when trying to solve a serious situation. This technology is realiable at some points, theyre are multiple ways it can help and then there can be some disfunctions. Every technology has their flaws though.

Dear Steve Southerland, Believe it or not there's people in our country who go out and vote and dont even know that there's something called the Electoral College , much less know what it is! The Electoral College is a compromise between election of the president by a vote in Congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens established by the founding fasthers in our constitution. There's been a debate going on in our country for years over weather or not we should keep the Electoral College or do away with the whole thing. Everybody has the right to voice their personal opions on the subject and im writing you to voice my opion. Sure yeah, i bet you get millions of letters like these coming into your office everyday. But I think you would really enjoy mine considering the fact the fact that your reading this so there must not be anything exciting going on in that big office of yours. My personal opion intake on it is all is to get rid of it. People in America need to wake up and realize what is really going on in the world around them today." The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism a non-democratix method of selecting a president thatr ought to be overruled." America is suppose to be a country the people run, a democracy. Many people seem to think that when they go to the polls their voting for our president when in reality their not. Instead what they're voting for is actually a slate of electors. Downside to that is that voters cant always contol whom their electors vote for. "The single best argument aginst the elctoral college is what we might call the disaster factor." What does Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole,The U.s Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO all have in common? They all agree on abolishing the Electoral College! They're not alone according to a Gallup poll taken in 2000, over 60% of voters would perfer a direct election. The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. From, Wewahitchka High School Student           

For years and years, it has been said that emotion comes from the "heart", when really, emotions are scientific. In a classroom setting, many students feel as if they are in an uncomfortable environment, causing them to become silent and unable to ask questions. With the use of the technology called Facial Action Coding System, the teacher is able to modify what they are teaching to ensure everybody, even those who are quiet, understand. This new technology will offer students who are shy the same education as those who are not, modify a lesson for a certain student who is confused, and allow for a more positive environement in a classroom, making it valuable for students. When eighteen girls and fifteen boys are put into a classroom, it is not always guranteed that they will have a friend in the class. Many times, when children do not feel welcome in an environment, they will not speak up or ask a question. This causes teachers to be unable to help the student understand what they are trying to learn. In the excerpt, "Movement of one or more muslces is called an 'action unit'. Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Eckman has classified six basic emotions-happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, dear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles"(D'Alto 3). The technology is able to deeply read the expressions people make due to the movement of the muscles in the face. When someone has an emotion, sometimes, they unawarely show it. With FACS, the program can analyze that emotion , and give the feedback to the teacher to allow he/she to go back over the material that the student gave an emotion to. With the use of this technology, teachers can see how the students are feeling, without having to pull the answers out of the students who rarely talk. The first thing most people notice when meeting someone for the first time or thousandth time is body language. It is scientifically proven that when someone is public speaking or talking, the focus is 90% body language/tone, and 10% material they are covering. From the way their voice is, or the way their face falls, a lot of information can be given. The new technology Facial Action Coding System allows for a computer to go deeper in analyzing the emotion of the face. A normal person is not going to immediately recognize that when the "your oribularis oris, which is the muscle around your mouth tightens, it means you are showing anger"(D'Alto). The new program is able to analyze the muscles to give more of a precise and accurate reading of the emotion. Teachers meet students for 53 minutes a day, and are not mind readers who know how their students are feeling. The author claims, "For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different. 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor'"(D'Alto 6). Since technology is the new way of learning this century, the computer's ability to be able to recognize confusion, and help modify the lesson to help increase understanding would be very valuable. There are many times when teachers let students go off and do the notes online, and many students may not catch on. With the ability to see they are not understanding, the student will not be forced to ask the teacher, but have the computer explain it. This would substantially help the students who are afraid of questions, and those who are absent from class. Having an instructor that knows every emotion that a student is feeling, and be there if modification is needed, would have a major impact on the succsess rate of students. As more and more technology is being woven into todays ways of learning, it is important that it is grows along with the generation. Many times, students come into class with a "I do not want to be here" attitude. With attitudes like that, it decreases the success of the student. In the excerpt, "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them.....Empathy (feeling someone else's emotional state) may happen because we unconsciously imitate another person's facial expressions"(D'Alto 9). Teachers could use these known tactics and have their students practice certain facial expressions to make them feel a certain way. If they are able to make the students smile, and it can allow for a slight feeling of happiness, resulting in a more positive environment. Students will participate more when put into an environment they feel welcome, and warm in, and by using the FACS program to see if they begin to feel happy, teachers can enforce more postivity in the classroom. The positive the classroom, the more particpation there is from students. Although this program may not be 100% accurate since it doesn't know every emotion in the universe or what is going on in the person's brain, it can help teachers realize the basic emotions needed to see if their students are understanding. This new technology will offer students who are shy or quiet the same education as anyone else, allow for a more positive environment, and modify a lesson for a certain student if confused, overall making it very valuable for students in the classroom.

Cars are most the most used machine for transportation in modern day. Cars help us travel places faster then bikes, walking, running, etc. But did you know that cars are also helpful for spewing toxic chemicals in the air. People are unaware that the cars are destroying the oxygen that we have here on earth and produce oxygen into smog. To reduce the pollution of the chemicals that cars make is to simply show citizens the advantages of limiting car usages. To begin with, From the sources that I have gathered and used for data is that one of my sources said in its article that stated "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." Paris is banning people for using any automobiles beacuse the pollution is over the limit of what it needs to be. People are paying the price for using too much cars, at the same time that have chemicals that pollute the air. In addition to, from my source it stated that "exceptions were made for plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying 3 or more passengers." people in Paris are starting to make changes beacuse of the smog, and are doing this until the smog levels are reduced. People might be late for work and other jobs that they have to do while people are complaining these expectations are need to be met until the goverment says its ok. To add on,From the source "In German suburbs, Life Goes On Without Cars" the article stated that "Increasing number of private cars owned by the burgeoning middle class are choking cities." The private cars that are increasing with numbers and chemicals are are owned by the middle class people that leave nothing but pollution in their cities. The people in the middle class are more exsposed to smog and they need to use less of the private cars in order to reduce pollution in the cities  also need to reduce the amount of cars on their street and increase the amount of passengers in their cars. Another reason for limiting the car usage is " united stat and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use." they are stating that they dont need cars to go where the need to go because they can use other things. They also are saying that they're not contributing toward the pollution. In conclusion to people limiting their car usage is that it helps the earths atmosphere it can also destroy your oxygen supply, but it can get you places faster than any other mobile.        

I agree because, people who get bullyed don't have to hide their emotions but the process is beginning when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face, all 44 major muscles in the modeal must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit". to make it it will take quite a bit to just make it but Eckman has classified six basic emotions - happiness, surprise, anger, disguist, fear, and sadness. putting it together will help everyone one in the Gary district and every other city or state.In fact, human perform this same emotion everyday the no emotion or the let down emotion . The Monsa Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do.It is also a bad idea because if what if a person don't wnat to share his/her emotions if that is true than. Why they not worried about how the students might feel about the situation but young adults and children can learn how to speek out.Just trying do a emotion communication. By doing this project it will make us feel better about how we look feel an people can start talking to everyone criminals can get help familys who struggling can get help. An people tell lies going to get catched.

The author explains that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by explaining why there numerous facters to contribute to Venus. The author wants us humans to contribute or learn and study all about venus. The author wants NASA to give humans the chance into studying venus because its has a possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus. " Nasa is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chameber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions."(paragraph7) The author explains that we need to study all about venus becuase maybe sooner or later we could be using electronics that is from that planet or like something that is from that planet that we made into an electronic. In conclusion the author provides many textual evidence to support his idea of studying Venus and despiting the dangers of Venus. The author explains that Astronomers are fascinated by Venus becuase it may well once been the most Earth-like planet in iur solar system, this shows that our scientist and our atronomers are going to also get in involved with this study and would want to know alot more about Venus becuase maybe we just might inhabit this planet soon.

Cars are not the most important thing in our lives. Although cars are helpful, not having one can help you a lot in the long run. Having a car causes so much stress worrying about the traffic if you're going to be late for work or school, gas prices are not as low as people would like. If you had to walk everywhere or ride your bike, you could be getting a lot of exercise from it. People think having a car is so important but they dont see the positive side to it. Many people stress out if they are not going to make it to work on time because of traffic, I know that I dont make it to school on time because of all the traffic trying to get into my school is horrible. Instead of stressing out, you can just go on a calm walk or bike ride to your destination. In the article written by, Elisabeth Rosenthal, there is a quote from Heidrun Walter saying, "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," because they had banned cars in his city. You can always find an alternative way of getting to where you need to go. If someone has a meeting to go to, they can always use the alternative of the Internet if they cant get their in time or the weather is not the best. Instead of stressing out about driving, you can walk to your destination and save money from not paying for gas. We all know that gas prices are high and out of our budget. They've reached four dollars, that's insane! Why would anyone want to spend that money if they don't have to. There is a simple solution on saving your money that you waste on gas, and that is walking or riding your bike. Some people can afford the prices of gas but others are struggling in the economy but are to lazy to walk, nobody wants to get exercise so they drive everywhere. Banning cars on the street is a good way to help people get exercise. If they know they can't drive, they would obviously walk or take a bike because they have places to be. It would be an effective way to get people to stop being lazy and helping their health. Some people would probably get frustrated because they have to walk everywhere but it's only helping them. Walking or riding a bike is a good opportunity to realize the beauty of life without stressing out over bad drivers or traffic, saving money, and getting exercise. Most people would think banning cars on the street is a good idea for those few reasons. I know that it is super effective although some people may not see it until it actually changes.

Having no car may seem really bad but in all reality it might not be bad at all. People become happier without having to do with the stress of driving cars, and it makes cities denser. People driving cars have alot of stress to deal with when they're in a vehical. They have to pay attention to they're surroundings and also to themselves. Some people have a lack of attention, and that also makes things harder on them. Walking places would make a person happier not only because they don't have to deal with all the traffic and the stressfulness of dealing with other drivers, but it gets them in great shape. Cars seem to rule the world. They mess with the density and the pollution has gotten out of control. Cars take down so much gas, and it isn't good for the enviorment. Americans are buying fewer cars, and driving less each year. If we lower the usage of cars the Earth will be healthier, and the people would be happier. And everyone wants a happy, healthy life.

I am in favor of changing to election by popular vote for the election of the president of the United States. Over sixty percent of voters prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. I believe this change would make electing a president much more simple. At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. This is because of the winner-take-all system in each state. The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. Most  counterclaims to my explanation is swing states. This is because voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign, knowing that they are going to decide the outcome of the election. They are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, and the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election. Keeping electoral colleges would help in this case, so the candidates have to make both want to vote for them (Electoral College and toss-up states). Keeping Electoral Colleges also restores some of the weight in the politicaal balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the constitution. In conclusion, I think the electoral college should be abolished. By doing this, we could avoid electoral ties, and the "disaster factor''. We can also be more fair and rational to voters. These are the reasons I would like abolish the Electoral college.

Self driving cars are a step into the future that is vital. For so long we have had to put up with the hassle of driving from place to place that it sometimes gets old. Self driving cars are more than just for acomidation or a fine example of how well off you are, they help with many things such as scientific understanding of computerization, fuel consumption and waste, as well as those who are visually impared or have any other kind of dissability that prevent them from driving. We as a nation must work together to bring notice to the regulaters who will not allow testing of Self atonomous driving cars because without the testing we will not be able to help that pregnant neighbor get to the hispital to deliver her baby in time, or help our grand parents get to a crucial doctors appointment, or simiply enjoy the clean and emmition free enviroment with our very own family. These and many other things are possible if we bring attention to regulaters and let car manufacturers work together to come up with the perfect car. I'm not saying it will be easy or quick because that is simpily not true, but together and with our needs we can make it happen. We really do need self drving cars it is only a process of advancement that should not be taken out of the equation of scientific evolution.

I think that the Facial Action Coding System is a great idea. It can have it's pros and cons but I think that the pros overdue the cons. Three reasons why I think it's a good idea is because it tells you how someone might be feeling, if they are lying about how they feel or not, and that if they don't want to tell you, you can figure it out. First of all, do you ever wonder on how might one person might be feeling? I bet you have. using the Facial Action Coding System can help with that. It can be hard because if you really care about someone and you might wonder how they are feeling. You can ask but what if they don't want to talk about it because it makes them uncomfortable. Second of all, what if you ask a friend on how they are feeling and they say they are fine, but clearly they are't. People can lie about how they are feeling. They might show something but deny they are feeling some type of way. Lastly, what if they don't want to tell you but you really want to know so you can help. the system can help with that. It would be much easier because now you don't have to ask and make them feel moe of what they are feeling. In conclusion, I think that the Facial Action Coding system is a really great idea. It would probably take a long time for mostly everyone to have that system. But in the future there will be some type of system like that, that everyone can afford and have.

Almost every American has a car. Just go outside and look at your neighborhood.. I'm almost positive if you were to look everyone woukd have a car except for maybe 1 or 2.. The car is in our everyday use basically.. It helps us get to work, run aarons, take kids to school, etc. Now you may seem like theres only 1 risk of being in a car, but believe it or not.. When your car is on and running you're hurting the air.. Now I know the air doesn't have feelings! But logically you're hurting the air and yourself. America should limit car usage for simple reasons like air pollution, car accidents, and lazyness. These are the things we should focus on when we're in our cars or when we talk about saftey because all those reasons fall into that category. Small changes would be nice and helpful here. It reduce alot of problems we have, and stress. To kick this off, limiting the usage of cars would reduce the amout of air pollution that we are surrounded in now. Think about it millions of cars on and running everyday, sometimes if you look closely thers black gas coming out of the exhaust pipe.. And you're breating that? Out of millions of cars where do you think all those fumes go? they don't just dissapear! We're breating it! sure you might say "So if im breathing it doesn't that mean i should be dead?!" no.. that's not the case.. Yes it's bad for you but it hurts the earth mostly the gases break apart the atmosphere we have around to block other fumes from other places out. Think of the earth as a hamster in a ball.. The hamster is the earth and the ball is out atmosphere. The holes in the ball are the holes made from the gases that are released from our cars. This could let any type if gas in. In places like China there's a huge problem caused by all the cars.. it's called smog. Think of fog all over the place but its black and smells really bad. Not only that but it's really bad for you. You may think why don't we have that here? Well China is the most populated country in the world and almost everyone has a car. China is a pretty busy place you'd imagine because of all the people. Well you're right.. All the fumes coming out of those cars cause all that smog to contaminate everything there. Like water, animals, food, and even you! It's very bad. China needs to limit the usage of their cars in order to stop problems like that because it can effect everything around them. We should start worrying about the smog aswell because America is a pretty big place and all the busy cars can cause something similar to a smog, it may not be as big bu it will still cause damage. With all this said hopefully you understand what air pollution does and how we can reduce it. Moving along, Car accidents is a very big thing everywhere it causes thousands of deaths and injuries. We can stop all of it if we can limit the car usuage. you may say "We can also just stop teens from driving.." well yeah you can do that but how will they learn for themselves? Small rules metioned in the article are very interesting like cars with even licence plates were allowed to drive on mondays for example, and cars who drove with odd licence plates were fined for not obeying the law. On Tuesdays it would be the same but for odd licence plates. I think if this rules was implemented atleast 2 times a week it would help reduce the amout of accidents. There wouldn't be asmuch cars and it will be alot safer for people to drive. Sadly in alot of accidents they are fatal in highways, just imagine hundrends of thousands of cars driving in 3-4 lanes, you hit a car and it will obivously start a big problem from there. Think of it like dominos stacked in a line you knock one down and it just starts all tumbling in order. Yeah some cars avoid it but not always. The less the cars the less the accidents. Altough this is off topic but limiting the amout of cars on a freeway or highway per hour will limit the amout of accidents aswell. Back to the point, America needs to do something about the cars or it will just keep happening the more the drivers the more the danger out in the roads and highways. Hopefully this helped you understand more about the limiting of car use a little more. We're almost there, how ever we should stop revolving our selves around our car. If you live 10 minutes away from a supermarket or small convienience store just walk there.. You're just wasting money and polluting the air driving there.. A bike is a great way to get there you go decently fast, you don't get tired as much and it's a good exercise. We should stop getting to lazy because it is affecting both us and the earth very negatively. I would understand if you're in a hurry but seriously.. If you're 10-20 minutes walking distance why not just walk there.. You don't only exercise in the gym, get some fresh air outside.. well partially fresh air.. Yeah you get the point.. We need to get our butts up and walk places because our car isn't our only source of transportation! It's not just hurting you! Don't forget your purse or wallet! Because it has a big impact on that to with the gas prices going all over the place right now. Something people don't see when they're driving there car is what there doing to the enviornment, yeah i've mentioned it many times but it something we really need to look at because it effects your health tremendously. If you actually take the time to walk or bike to where ever you want it feels nice to actually walk and stretch your muscles out. We need more car reduced communities so that we don't just use our cars all day to get to places not to far away. To conclude, we need to start limiting the usage of cars in order to reduce alot of problems in our enviornment. Most of our enviornmental problems revolve around something we use everyday which is the car. Problems such as air pollution, car accidents, and lazyness. These things just don't effect you, if effects everyone including the envornment. This is something we should look out for ecause it is a very negative thing we have. Mainly air pollution because that affects everything.. And i mean everthing... Food, water, animals, plants, and even you.. So we all should look out for this and be a bt more responsible. We need more laws to help reduce the amount of smog and greenhouse gases that we have here today in our world. Hopefully you read this and learned alot about the importance of limiting the usage of cars and how it can effect everything.

Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars becaude nobody needs them anymore? I can't, google cofounder sergey brian envisions a future public-transport system where fleets of drivers cars from public-transport taxi system. I believe driverless cars should not be introduced to the human world. Google made a car that deives by itself but in times needs the driver to take over. When it backs out and when there is a construction issue on the roads. The driver must take control and move the car around. I believe that is dangerous because if the car's motherboard crashes what is going to happen to the car. The track which is embedded with an electrical cable that sends radio signals to the front end of the car. What would hapen if the track went down. thats a danger because id people get use to having their car drive for them and they never drive they can forget the rules of the road themselves. When they take control they wont remember what the rules were because their cars were always driving for them. THe driverless car can steer, accelerate, and break themselves but also need the driver to be alert to take over when it needs. What would happen if the cars were to give out or not catch the sensor that the pole gave them. THey would crash and the driver could be in danger or hurt. i believe that driverless cars are to dangerous for people to be driving in them. i also believe that driverless cars will makae people lazyier then they already are. therefor i believe driverless cars should never come out.

I want others to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program because it is a fun experience, it helps out animals, and you get to travel to many countries and see the many sights. The Seagoing Cowboys program is a fun experience in many ways. One way is all the places that you travel to. I have seen many landmarks, such as the Acropolis in Greece, Venice, Italy, and I also have been through the Panama Canal on my way to China. Also it is a fun experience after the animals had to be unloaded, we all played baseball and volleyball games where the animals had been housed. Also there would be table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, and many more fun activities. Those were all some ways we had a fun experience during the program. Our program also takes care of animals, but that can also be fun in many ways. One way is that it can keep you busy is when you are caring for the animals during crossing. They have to be fed and watered three times a day. What helped me prepare for hard work was when I would help on my Aunt Katie's farm as a boy. Also I would serve as a night watchmen, which meant I had to check on the animals every night. Once I almost died doing that job one rainy night. As you can see, taking care of animals can be hard but also fun here at Seagoing Cowboys program. My favorite part was traveling to many countries and all the beautiful sights. I have gotten to see Europe and China during our journies. Cattle boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy. I have also toured an excavated castle in Crete, and have been on a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, the city with streets of water. As you can see in the first paragraph, where it also shows I have been to many other places. In conlusion, you can see that traveling a one of the most fun parts of beingin the Seagoing Cowboys program. Throughout the whole story, you can see that in the Seagoing Cowboys program, it is a fun experience, it helps animals, and you get to travel a whole lot. Those are some of the reasons that I would like others to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program.

Passenger cars are a standard method of transportation. Although, it is not the most affordable; nor is it easy to maintain. This method carries numerous disadvantages. Consequently, if citizens limit their car usage, it would be very advantageous. Using an automobile for transportion is unethical for middle-class families. This is evident because Source 1 confirms that near French and Swiss borders, "...a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home." Obviously many families cannot afford to do that because more than half of Vauban's families, (Vauban is a suburb in Germany),  do not own a car and more than half had no choice but to sell theirs to move to Vauban in the first place (Source 1). Even the number of drivers in America has decreased because, during the recession, "cash-strapped Americans could not afford new cars..." (Source 4). Sociologists also believe within the next few years, the number of car-owners will decrease because "...the Internet...allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends." So as the result of less car ownership, people who stopped using cars because of the recession will find less reason to resume the habit (Source 4). Clearly, limiting automobile use has positive effects because not only the middle-class, but the American population, can't afford cars. Life without a car, environment-wise, is extremely beneficial. It is proven that automobiles are "...a huge impediment to current efforts to...reduce greenhouse gas emissions..." (Source 1). 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe is the result of the use of passenger cars. That percentage is up to 50% in the United States (Source 1). Because those numbers are so high, several advancements are being made to cause the percent to decrease. One example of this is, the Environmental Protection Agency's attempt to "promote "car reduced" communities...", to protect the nation's and the world's environment (Source 1). There is an environmental dilemma in Paris especially. The city has "near-record pollution..." and because they recognize the cause as being cars, they have enforced "...a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." (Source 2). This ban and other efforts to preserve the environment is advantageous because it is not just an individual's home but the entire population's. Limiting car usage is a small step to making choices that will benefit citizens in the long run. Having a limit on car use is advantageous. This is made obvious for financial reasons and environment conservation purposes. It is expensive and taxing  to use a car and the environment is better off without automobiles. Cars are not a necessity.

I think that the new technology entitled " Facial Action Coding system " (FACS) is a very smart and effective method of reading how someone feels just by there aperance me personaly I think that I can hid my emotions very well and can put on a fake smile and carry on with my day but knowing that theres technology that can read my face and tell me that im upset or angry thats amazing. I think that the "Facial Action Coding System" is a brilliant idea. I support the new tecnology because Dr. Paul Ekman has classified six basic emotions such as - happiness,anger,surprise,disgust,sadness, and fear - and then associated each emotion with different movements of the facial muscles or characteristics. For example, your frontalis pars lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises your eyebrow when you're surprised; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) thightens your lips to show anger. The fact that there is classification on these six emotions just add on to the fact that this tecnology can become the next big thiing in todays society. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal," ;"even though individuals often show varrying degrees of expressions" Quoted from section (4) meaining that the smile isn't as broad as normal and the fact that there is video imagray based off of the "Facial Action Coding System" (FACS) by using different units and weighing them is amazing and how they can tell your expressions just by veiwing your face and comparing it to a nuetrual face that isn't showing any emotion meaning the face doesn't show -happiness, sadness, anger, surpise, fear, and discust. I beleive that the Facial Action Coding System is a very brilliant form of technology and should be used on painting for many years to come because being able to finally tell the "Mona Lisa's" expression or facial recognition is amazing I couldve never told you if that painting was happy sad and or even angry and having a system that can do so is brilliant and extreamly useful. These are some of the resons that I personaly believe this system is worth using because it helps better understand peoples and or paintings expressions or faces.

The Electoral College is a great way to elect a upcoming President. The Electoral College was created by our founding fathers. The Electoral College has 538 electors. You would need a majority of 270 electoral votes is needed to elect a President. We should not abolish The Electoral College becaude it is a great way to elect our President. First, The Electoral College is the best way to elect your President. There are some drawbacks like it is outdated and irrational, but it has been working in the country since the founding farthers. The reason why we should not abolish The Electoral College is that every state counts as a vote. One example is that Florida has 29 electoral votes, but big states with less people has a lowerer electoral vote. Second, "The Electoral College avoids the problems of elections in which no candidate recives a majority of the votes cast" said In Defense of the Electoral College: Five Reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president. Another reason why we should keeep the Electoral College is that it doees the vote cast on how many people are in the state not how big the state is. Third, The Electoral College has each canididate running for president in your stare has his or her own group of electors" said In Defense of the Electoral College: Five Reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president. In conclusion, we should not abolish The Electoral College because it is the best way to vote for our candidate. The popular vote may be good but The Electoral College is the best choose we have in America.

Although traveling outside of the Earth seems very cool, there are many risks that have to be taken into consideration when choosing what adventure may want to be taken next. In this paper, being shared will be opinions on how the author supported his claim, some of the ways the author backed up or tore down his claim, and finally we will share some of his claims. With Venus being a completely new terrian to be looked at, it is diffivult to show how the planet would react to tests that NASA would like to try with sending a space craft onto the surface of Venus. In this first paragraph, the authors claims are going to be shared with the readers. The author stated some very interseting things when it came to finding new ways to travel up to Venus. The authors views on traveling to Venus were more one sided towards going and risking it to try and make a new ground breaking discovery. The way the author was describing some of the methods of trasnportation that could be possible to the austronauts that could potentially be travleing up there, was very sided towards him wanting to go through with anything that NASA wanted to try. This quote from paragraph 8 states, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imadination and innovation." This quote from his article is that we should not limit what we do, but oh do not forget that the risks are kinda high and your sruvival rates might not be the best. This is an opinion that the author is feeding to us that risking peoples lives to go to Venus, in test missions, is more important than actually trying to find a solution that will work one hundred percent of the time. In this next paragraph, being discussed will be some of the ways the author either stood up for or tore down his own claims. In paragraph 7, the author states, "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus, For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such ocnditions." This quote is stating a back up to his claim that he is making. With NASA working on traveling to Venus in the near future, the technology could also be used by researchers who are trying to allow people to go to Mars and investigate what is going on there. The technology they are talking about in this article might be about Venus, but it is still and option to use it for other projects as well. However, there are still a few ways that the author tore down his own claims that he was making about the mission its self. In paragrpaph number 6, the author states, "However, peering at venus from a ship that is 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." This quote is showing that the author had thrown out one of his ideas but then he starts tearing it down because he is stating that it will not give the information that is neccessary for this trip. With the author tearing down one of his own ideas about how to get up to Venus and get information on it, it is a little harder to try and trust some of the options that he is putting out. The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" made many claims about how NASA could get space ships and different things onto Venus to show whats going on there. In this paper, it was stated that the authors views on traveling to Venus were more one sided towards going and risking it to try and make a new ground breaking discovery. The author was able to give pros and cons to all of the options that were as options for equipment that could be used to get the information that is wanted from Venus. In conclusion, the author did a great job on proving his points and views on ways to get to Venus, and how we can do it.

the author want to show you all the data he picked up good and bad. Howabout the fact that venus is one of the most challenging planets but on the pther hand venus has struck the curasidity of many people. venus is looked at and called the "evening star" for being very bright but it can also be refered to the "twin" for having simaller charchaterists like in terms of density and size. on the other hand venus goes a very differnet speed then the other planets. leaving the abillity to go venture very dangerous. venus can have an atmosphere of 97 percent carbon dioxide which can be very harmful to humans along with the fact that it is 800 degrees Fahrenheit. all in all its hard but worth it to find out what we can on venus. and be aus eof this NASA hasnt given up yet trying to figure out ways to safely travel there and back.

With the new discovery of new technology called the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), many people argue whether or not this is vaulable to the students of a classroom. This new technology enables a computer to identify human emotions and improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others. With much research done by professionals, this new emotion-reading technology would be valuable and effective in reading the emotional expressions of students in a classroom. As a student learning in a classroom, one of the most important things is reamining focused and obtaining all of the information that is being given. In order to receive the right education, it is vital that a lesson does not bore or confuse the person learning or else they will not fully understand what is being taught, and that is not good. With the help of the Facial Action Coding System, according the Prof. Thomas Huang, a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. The computer can then modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor in order to make what is being taugh more understandable. With the computer technology, students can receive an education with a learning method that is specific to them. Instead of a student being bored or confused and losing focus while learning a lesson, the Facial Action Coding System can now modify what they are being taught in order to make their education more effective and specific to them. Dr. Paul Eckman, the creator the FACS, has classified six basic emotions in which the computer can analyze; these emotions include: happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. By identifying one or more of these six emotions in a student, this will help the computer revise a lesson that would best fit the student's needs. With this new technology, the computer will be able to detect if a student is fearful of the new material being brought their way. As predicted by Dr. Huang, this can help modify the lesson so the student becomes more comfortable with what they are now learning and less fearful. With the help of this computer program, it can also detect anger in a student whether it be at themselves for not fully understanding the material or at the lesson for not teaching it in a way that best suits the student; this will let the computer know that it needs to change the way it is teaching the lesson in order to help benefit the student. If a student shows the emotion of happiness, it will let the computer program know to continue the lesson as it is. With this new technology being able to detect six basic emotions, this will help the computer program FACS to modify the lesson in order to benefit the student with their education and make it easier to understand the student's frustration. With classrooms around the world becoming more technologically advanced, this new computer program will help many students with receiving an education that is specific to them and will help benefit their learning experience. Although this can only be used to read the emotions of a student, it can still be very valuable in a classroom. The FACS can read the emotions of a student and can, according the professional Dr. Huang, modify a lesson in order the suit the needs of the student. This can be very beneficial to the education of a student since the computer program can detect when they are not understanding a lesson and can then change the lesson the benefit the student. With the computer program being able to detect six basic emotions, this makes it easier to help the computer understand exactly what the student is feeling when learning new material; this can help understand a student's frustration or happiness of the lesson they are learning. With all of the research done by professionals and evidence shown, the use of the Facial Action Coding System to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom can be valuable.

Imagine, scrolling through google just like you do everyday, and finding something you could only remember as a nightmare from your childhood. Well that may have been the case for some. In 1976, photos from NASA were leaked around the world, revealing a strange face on the face of Mars. But is that reaally what it was? When scientists saw this formation, they to were astounished. Most just believed it was a martian messa, but few didn't. They believed there was truly acient life on Mars. Messa's were very common in Cydonia, the place they found the landform. So that was what it was expected to be, but there were still skeptics. People from around the world believed NASA wanted to hide something. That they didn't want anyone knowing there really was life on Mars. But why would NASA want to hide something so extrordinary? Not to mention the fact they would get even more publicity and money spewing their way. But the people weren't satisfied, so NASA decided that in 1997, they would go back and capture more. This would prove to be very difficult for NASA. The rotation of Mars would make it hard to actually land near Cydonia, but in 1998, they did it. The photograph was ten times sharper than the last from 1976. It showed that the formation, was just a formation. Not any ancient artifact. NASA took all that time to prove something that was already proven. Yet few people still were not satisfied. The people argued that, because it was winter on Mars, it was to cloudy for the camera to take a proper photograph. They thought maybe alien markings were covered by haze. So NASA decided to set off one last time. On April 8, 2001, the Mars Global Surveyor came close enough for a second picture, this time with even better cameras. It once again, showed for sure that the landform was nothing but a messa. One scientist, Jim Garvin, Even compared it to the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, trying to help the people understand. NASA whent through so much trouble to prove to the people that it was not life on Mars. So they eventually came to the conclusion that it was just a landform. But there will still always be skeptics. Will you still be one?

Imagine a system that can actually help you stay focused and determined with your learning. No more kids dozing off because of boredom, or becoming uninterested with a subject. This advancment in computer software that can recognize human emotions and change the way we learn for the better . Now take the software mentioned into a class room where it can make "calculations" about human emotion just as any other human does. The author, Nick D'Alto, says this "if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow." he also quotes a Dr. Huang saying "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming bored or confused or bored." Take these two quotes and you imagine a super computer that can learn what you take interest in and modify it's self to your liking. This would allow students to take charge in how they learn a concept. This could be the next big things in learning since computers were first introduced in a classroom. That's not even the limit. This technology could be implimented in home schooled children and online classes as well. The reason being as Dr. Huang puts it "it could modify the lesson...like and effective human instructor." This means it would have the power to change lessons if you were not following or just confused. This ability can amplify the process of students learning online or at home. In coclussion the technology being able to recognize human emotions will only improve the educational system. Being able to tell if a student is bored or confused on a concept will help improve many aspects in schooling. Being able to modify lessons on the spot just like a human insturctor is valuable.

The reason you should join Seagoing Cowboy Program because they get to travel around the seven sea on a boat Luke thinks it's fun because he is having the time if his lifetime, and he likes it because he work at a gas station and a grocery store If Luke want to go to a place thats far a way then he can pick his boat or a plane. A plane Luke would have to pay the passport but. If he goes on his boat he would just have t pay for the gas. On a plane it will be shorter however on a boat it will be longer to get on a plane. Luke's like the water so going on a boat will be good for him. He also like the sound the waves make when they go by and the rocking noise the boat make on the water. He can make knew friends on the way there.

The authors support of the idea of going to Venus is not very well known, we can only infer whether they are for it or against it because they never fully specify. The author give some pros and cons to the exploration of the planet but does not pick one side more than the other. I believe that they author is against the idea of Venus exploration. The authors pros and cons list combat eash other because, the author gives a pro on the exploration of Venus but instantly combats it with another con to weigh it out. One example of this is in paragraph 5 when the author states that the conditions of floating above planet Venus would be difficult but survivable for humans. However, right after making that statement, the authors first sentence in paragraph 6, combats the idea that it is survivable for humans because the article 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 vidoeography ineffective." From that statement we can infer that the author doesn't really see the exploration of humans going being very useful but, we can only infer because the author never specifies, for or against. Another way we can infer that the author is against it, is by looking at paragraph 3 when the author is talking truthfully about the planet. The author explains that planet Venus has a thick atmorsphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide and that the planet's surface temperature averages out at over, 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The way that the author describes Venus, is not in a way of much liking or making it sound like a good planet to send our people to. The author explains how dangerous Venus is by listing the weather barreries like "...erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes and frequent lightening strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.", all in paragraph 3. By listing how dangerous the weather is, listing how hot and unlivable it is, and by saying that the lightening frequently strikes the probes trying to get into the planets atmosphere to land, we can only infer that the author doesn't really think that the dangers of humans being out into this kind of situation, is worth it. Additionally, one last way we can infer that the author doesn't favor the idea of Venus exploration is that when in paragraph 2, the author states, "Each previous mission is unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." That statment really pushes the idea that the author defiently doesn't not favor the idea of the exploration using man and spacecraft. But once again, we can only infer because the author never gave a clear personal opinion. In conculsion, I believe that the author does not favor the exploration and does not think that the study of Venus is a worthy pursuit depsite the dangers it provides. The pros and cons weigh each other out, the planet is too dangerous with the heat, the weather, and the obsticles on the surface. The overall thought of the author shows no favor towards the exploration of Venus.

Do you think driveless cars are dangerous if so why? I think driveless cars are a better oppournity for drivers to get around easier, sensor and safer! The driver could get around easier instead using brake when stop or either steer the wheel when its hard to turn. In the text it says " They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents". Drivless cars could help you through difficult times even if you drive past road rage! Driverless cars technology is a good idea I think because it has an sensor! It tracks what your feeling or what you could detect while your in the car driving In the text it says "Fruther improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." The idea of having the a sensor sense you when your in danger or need of help if your car breaks down is another postive impact of driverless car. The sensor contains deep inside the car for example the creation of the speeding of antilock brakes. Smarter manufacturers turned to smarter cars because not only the speed of the brakes but the engine can be reduce power and allowing for better response and control than a human druver could manage alone. Driverless cars as can detected whether your in danger or not! Safety is important if you have an automated car driving you! Who knows what the case maybe? In the text it says " GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object." Referring when the vehicle sense another car been touch the car automate is going to be aware something is wrong. The google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over other options under consideration are flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays. Driverless cars manuafacturers are aslo safer because inside the car while the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver! The manufactures is driverless cars is not only a good service of work with making cars but different oppournities could be with just testing out how things would be different with someone controlling the car! Its like the car knows where to take the driver as soon as someone sit in the driver seat. The smart idea of the gps of the car is a good motive for the driver just have to seat back and relax! The driverless car still alert the driver to take over when pulling or may pulling out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues. Autonomous car is a good way with not dealing with car wrecks or even navigating through roadwork. Another impressive thing is the law depend on the driver to always mistakes or either just going over the speed limit! That is never the case with driverless car As stated above safety is acheived witht he alerted driver. Presently, the law thinks assumption of the driverless car is safe car human in control at all times. The law still change the laws, will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident.

With so much new technology being discovered in our world , people are always inventing new things. Weather something is invented to positively contribute while driving, help out at the work place , or at school they all have a purpose and a job. One new exciting invention is the Facial Action Coding System. A system that allows computers to identify human emotions. Here's why this system can contribute to the sucess of students in school. Certain classes for studnets can be extremely confusing. Many students usually have at least one class they have a hard time grasping. Many kids ask questions and still don't understand a certain concept. However, some kids become frusturated after asking questions, after still not understanding. Some kids will just lie and say they understand . That's where the Facial Action Coding System comes into play. If there was a system in the class that could read confusion, then a teacher could stick with that studnet on trying to teach them that concept or lesson that they still don't understand. This would also help all the kids who are maybe afraid to ask queations understand what the teacher is trying to explain. In conclussion, I think this is a great invention. This system should be in all classrooms to help struggling and shy students learn what they need to know. I think if these systems were in classes, students exam scores would actually increase. I say this because now all the students are getting their opportunity to learn , even if they don't usually speak up to ask a question.

The idea of being able to calculate someone's exact emotions based on simply looking at their face seems almost impossible, but doctors seem to be proving that wrong. People may ask themselves, how can you know what can be going on in someone's brain when you cannot see through their head? Dr. Huang and his colleagues are experts in figuring out new ways for humans and computers to communicate. In fact, Prof. Thomas Huang and Prof. Nicu Sebe have recently innovated a new computer software. This new fantastic innovation can potentially solve problems and help many people. This new software has been used on Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, the Mona Lisa, and there has been actual results that produce accurate persentages.This type of computer software could be installed everywhere, from your work, to your home, and even to you school. Dr. Huang predicts, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." I believe that this new invention could be very helpful to teachers and principals in all schools. For instance, if a student is too shy to ask questions about a lesson they do not understand, the software could pick up confusion from the kid's face and notify the teacher. Dr. Huang also says, "Then it could motify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Not only does the new software detect emotions, but can make modifications towards a lecture as well. This innovation has the porential to do the tasks of a human being and beyond. Now a days, adults do not seem to understand what a child or teenager goes through, but the invention can help those adults assist a person in academic and emotional needs. As for learning, the software can help excell and challenge students in a new way. This could teach students many new things related to anatomy, psychology, and even art. It would bring so much new information to the table and further technology even more. This could even open up a new field of work for those students interested in the innovation. In conclusion, a new invention like this would do wonders for the human population. Everyone would get a better understanding of what they feel and what others feel as well. There is nothing better than getting a chance to learn more about yourself. This new software could change the way we look at others, ourselves, and even the world.

Seagoing Cowboy Have you ever thought about being a Seagoing Cowboy. If you haven't maybe you should. As a Seagoing Cowboy you can help people, animals, and more. Seagoing Cowboys you travel a lot. you travel to places like China, Greece, Europe, and even Venice,Italy. You also take care of animals while shipping. You can feed them and bathe them. There is also lots of sight seeing you get to tour places like excavated castles the Panama canal and more. In paragraph six Luke had to travel across the Atlantic Ocean for two weeks. He fed and watered the animals two or three times a day. He also had to clean the stalls. He was kept busy on that ship. He was used to being worked all of the tim on his aunt Katie's farm. In conclusion I think that being a Seagoing Cowboy is sometimes dangerous, but fun most of the time. The Seagoing Cowboy program is fun you should try it.

Should the Facial Action Coding System be used in a classroom environment? Would being able to tell a students emotions help with giving them the lesson? I think it would for a few different reasons. I think the Facial Action Coding System should be used inside and outside the classroom. It would help the teachers know what is going on inside the students heads. In which then they could give the lesson in a way that the students could feel better about their work. This also would help the teachers know what may be happening in he students lives. The Facial Action Coding System could also be used to look at pictures of people and see what their emotions were when that picture was taken. The Facial Action Coding System could and should also be used at everyday jobs. It would let the employees boss/bosses know what emotions they are feeling while working. Which would then let their boss/bosses know whether to fire them or change their work environment. Which in the long run would lead to happy, not as upset, or any other positive emotions the employees could have. The Facial Action Coding System should definitly be used in classrooms, and even in the workforce. I think this technology should be released to the public as soon as possible. Even though most people can read others facial expressions just by looking at their face.

The new technology called Facial Action Coding System identify humans emtions yes i do believe this use of technology to read classrom students emotions is valuable. I think it is valuale because i am a classroom student and the teachers dont seem to notice when the students are getting bored or arent paying attention to be able to learn and with this technology it well notice and it will change alot because the teacher can change how they teach maybe do other things get us moving get us wanting to learn. Many kids cant sit down for long they lose focuse. In the reading it said the technogology can read when the student is "confused or bored" with that the teacher can ask the student are you bored or confused based on what they say the teacher can ask if he/she is bored the teacher can do moving around assienment to learn that little thing will help the students. If he/she is confused the teacher can ask what they are confused about most students never want to tell the teacher if he/she is confused or dont understand something with this technology it will help the teacher help that student because students tend not to want to raise their hand and ask for help.Or with the technology its self in the reading it says "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor". I think they should give this technolgy to all schools it will help out the teachers alot, the students will aslo find it cool seeing if it really does tell their emotion. If they want this technology to be the new teachers they should start off small try it out with one class for awhile but i really think this technology will be really cool.

Kat was a twenty-two year old girl who was driving to the store late at night. She had realized that she needed to get her little brother a present for his birthday tomorrow. Kat was tired from a long day of studying for her upcoming collage finals, so it didn't take long for her to pass out at the wheel. Kat's vehicle sped into a tree off to the side of the road. Kat died from her injuries. But imagine Kat had been guiding a driverless car. When Kat fell asleep, the car would have sensed itself going off course and would have corrected its path or woken up Kat. The advantages of a driverless car would apply to more than just Kat's situation. Driverless cars would be a luxury for drivers all around the world due to their advanced safety features, automatic transportation, and convenience to the driver. The impact that driverless cars could eventually have is exponential. The article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" has many good points on to what they could do for the world in the future. At one point the article reads, "...how much smarter did the cars have to be? For starters, they needed a whole lot of sensors. The advancement of the sensors used would help to stop many of the car crash deaths in the United States and beyond. The automatic driving feature would give the driver so much time for other things. You could read a book on your way to work, or play a game with the kids while on a roadtrip. Some say that a driverless car is much too dangerous, and that a machine can never be better than a human. They believe that humans will always be needed to drive cars. This is understandable as a computer driving a car is a foriegn concept. However, they would be wrong in their assumption. The "Smart Cars" being developed today are not more efficient than a human, however, this will most likely not be the case for long. With the current rate of technological development, We will have cars that can drive themselves without human assistance within the next 30 years. The next generation might be used to only learning the very basics of driving, as they might not need that skill. With all the good that driverless cars could do for the world, it's a wonder anyone questions their value. The potential for safety and convenience is much to high to pass up on. Driverless cars are the future of our roads. Very soon, driverless cars will be sold at car dealerships and open to the public.

The development, of driverless cars, is not a good idea. The driverless cars are non-reliable, lack safety, and are illegal in most states. Driverless cars are not well reliable. Paragraph 7 states, "They can steer, accelerate, and break themselves, but all are not designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." This example tells us that we can not fully rely on driverless cars to lead us safely. Paragraph 7 also states, "This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." From this example we can tell that driverless cars are not alert and road ready if we have to continously check and be alert of any mishap. Driverless cars not only lack reliability but they also lack safety. Paragraph 9 states, "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." This example tells us that driverless cars are less adequate than human drivers. Paragraph 9 also states, "Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident." From this example we can tell that driverless cars can cause accidents and are not protective enough to depend on. Driverless cars not only lack reliability and safety, but they are also not allowed in most states. Paragraph 9 states, "As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer driven cars." This example tells us that you can't even practice or test drive driverless cars in some states. Paragraph 9 also states, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer." From this example we can tell that if a driverless car causes an accident, no one knows who to blame for the effect. Driverless cars should not be out on the road. They are non-reliable, lack safety, and aren't legal in most states. All these issues contribute to why driverless cars should not be planned on or even invented.

Todays society uses automotive vehicles almoat everyday. When they go to work, to go to school, to go shopping, for fun, or anywhere they wanna go. Smog has been building up from the cars pollution for a very long time. Using Vehicles less will decrease smog, improve people's health, an will be better for the earth. Using automotive transportaton less will help everyone an everything in the whole world from humans to the air we breath, from animals to the grass they eat. However, using vehicles less will decrease the smog amount all around the world. Smog affects everything so decreasing it will help everyone an everything out greatly. Banning cars for a day or bannins odd-numbered plates for just one day would help out tremendously. In  France they have banned odd-numbered an even-numbered plate numbers for one day each on different days. " The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescing the ban for odd-numbered platwa on tuesday." So even banning vehicles one day can have a huge impact on decrasing smog. An it also clears up congestion on the roads. However, by using automotive transprtation less it will improve people's health. Walking, skatboarding, riding bicylces, or running will all imrove your health. If you had to go somewhere you could walk there an it would imrove your cardio. If you do this in a large city for one day a great majority of people would participate. "In Colombia, a program took plase an millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work." That would greatly take a impact on the smog ratio. And all of those millions of people who participated got plenty of excersize for the day to improve their health. So, by using automotive vehicles less it would tremendously help the entire Earth. Smog affects pretty much everything. The air that all the humans and animals breath in is polluted. The air is polluted so it affects the grass an vegetables that animals an humans consume for energy. It affects the trees that give off fresh oxygen so we can continue to breath. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Not driving would take away traffic jams therefore, people would not stress as much an also traffic jams cause a gigantic amount of air pollution so not driving would greatly help the entire Earth that we live on. In conclusion,  using automotive transportsation less would greatly help reduce smog build up, improve everyone's health, and it would tremendously help the Earth. It would lower air pollution so that the air we breath in would not be harmful to us. Even if we just banned cars for one day the whole Earth would be a lot cleaner. In the U.S the numbers of miles driving peaked in 2005 an have dropped stedily since then. People are starting to drive less and less an it is greatly helping the entire world.     

Venus is one of our closest planets, we need to study it more due to the fact we could SOMEDAY JUST MAYBE, have humans on Venus. We need to be able to find things out about Venus dispite the dangers that could have potiental when studing Venus. Dispite the dangers of Venus it is one of our twins, almost the same density and is one of our nieghbors in the atmosphere. The reason we study it is because it is one of the few planets that looks, acts and is close to the sun as Earth. NASA is also thinking of sending sciencetist to Venus to get a more up-close and personal view and too study how Venus reacts. You would have to be very brave to go on a different planet in my opinion. The down side is you cannot take photography on Venus because it could render the atmosphere and that could not end well for Venus. They are thinking of taking the computers in the old time due to the fact that they dont need electricity because they're powered by levers and such. In conclusion, I believe we should not send humans to Venus quite yet, due to the dangers it could hold. I believe we should study it from a distance or send a robot and we could watch it on a camera see how Venus works, then maybe once we figure out how to keep the humans safe that land on the planet we can send humans to investigate on Venus more.

Diverless cars sounds like a fantastic idea for the future, but not now. We are developing and avancing in technology to fast. Which can led, to many errors in our technology. In the coulpe years technology has becomed our need to survive for some people. Adults are growing children with technolgy, for example computers, phones, iPads, etc. Well, my position on driverless cars is that they are a smart and wonderful invention for the future because the cars sound more reliable and safe, but I feel like it is just not the right time for driverless cars to be introduced in four years. I am still trying to catch up with all the new avanced things that are bing invented each day. The idea of driveless cars sounds really cool because the car can drive for you, without you needing to drive. And that it involves a heads up display by turning off instantly when the driver needs to take over. Therefore, it makes it safe to travel in driveless cars because safety is a huge concern. That means there should always be a driver, who can drive to remain alert. It is also cool how the driver watches the road and the car watches the driver. I cannot wait for driveless cars to come out. It seems like the ficitional movies were correct that by 2020 technology will change and do a huge impact on the world. Hopefully, we don't loss the track of time. And don't develop technology really fast that we can be disspointed in the future.

Diverless cars I think could be a very good thing to this world. There are some down falls to them but if we put in the right time, i bielieve that we could make it a very useful tool in our enviroment. In this passage i am going to tell you why i bielieve that we should go to computer cars, or at least computer cars that give the human the right to driver, rather than only human conroled cars. My first argue is that it could help us with drunk or tired drivers. For example if someone was out late drinking, or was intoxicated. They could easily get home with out anyone being worried about there safety or safety of others because the computer is taking care of all of that. There would be no more drunk driving and i think everyone agrees that would be a great thing to happen in this world.it would save many lives every year. Also with tired drivers, say that your on vacationand have a gery long drive ahead of you. or coming home from a very long day of work. and keep nodding off while driving. You could just flip the car into computer mode and have the car drive without having to worry about falling asleep behind the wheel. Also the driver wont have to worry about being distrcted by screaming kids, loud noises, your text messages popping up while driving etc.All those distracts gone. This is a computer is does not reconize any of those actions. It will only know its job, and that job is to drive the car safely My second reason is i think it would be much safer in genral. imaired drivers or perfectly fine drivers.it doesnt matter who you take. Computers are smarter then humans they will not make the same dumb mistakes humans make like running a red light, or going above the speed limit, or driveing reckless in snowy icy conditions.The car will do everything it has to do to keep you and your family safe. Also if everyone on the road has computer driven cars. no body will have to worry about crazy drivers everyone will be calm and okay. Because a safe device is in control of your. My last reason is the police. I bielieve that if these cars become a thing the enviroment will become a better place. Also there will be less police chases. And im not saying the police will be off the road completely but if they dont have to worry about reckless drivers as much, they will be able to go out and deal with much more serious crime, because they know that these computers will follow the rules of the road. Say one day there was a police chase though. These are computers here. the police should be able to hack into the car and shut it down completly before any harm is done to any one. Those are my 3 reasons that i bielieve that computer driven cars would be a great resource to our community the police services, drunk or impaired drivers, and just safer driving in general. If you dont think that these cars are safe, i think you should change your opinion before they would be relased they would under go numerous ammonunts of testing to make sure that, they okay to be driven on the open roads. once again those are my 3 reasons. thankyou for reading.

Have you ever wonder if someone is lieing?! Well their is a new technology software that can decode how other people are feeling. Using this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. Since it can let you know when someone is lieing, or needs help from the teacher when its afraid to ask, also when someone has worries about something. "The Facial Action Coding System enables comuters to identify human emotions." This system can be very useful for school class rooms since it can detect when someone is lieing. Because the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; with all 44 major mucles in the model move like human mucles. That "classify the six basic emotions like happiness, surprise, anger, fear, and sadness, which then assosiats with each characteristic movement of the facial muscles." Or it can let you know when it needs help and he/she is a afraid to ask. Its like when you look at someone and see that they are sad or happy. It can detect an espression like that. "Now imagine a computer that knows when your having trouble." The most important thing is letting your teacher how you are feeling, she can help you out when you are worrying. "The facial expression for each emotion are universal, even though individuals often show a varying degrees of expression." In a why in which you can help express them. That's why Facial Action Coding Systems sould be used to read emotional expressions in classrooms.

First, Face is just a natural landform because even if it was created by alians there should be some type of building or something some where a round the Face like a building. Think about it. Do you really think that some alian is going to build something like that and leave it there? There is so much things we don't know about Mars, but aliens are not real. According to the text,"Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." Second, when we took a picture of the Face in 1976. It was because of the weather that it looked like a face. Another reason is because of the angle that we took a picture in. It might also have been the camera. Because of the angle that in took the picture in, the shadow of the mountains made it look like a face. According to the text,"The caotion noted a "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving illusion of eyes,nose,and mouth." Next, in 1998, we decided to take another picture of the Face. The tecnology became better and so we got a better view of the Face. It does't look as much like the face we took a picture of in 1976. This time it looked more like a crater. It wasn't a face after all. Then, in 2001, we took another picture because it was so popular. According to the author,"It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows-even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years!" You might think that aliens are real. According to the text,"Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars-evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists." We have been searching Mars for a while now and if there was any life form on Mars we would have found it already. Finally, Face is just another natural land form. According to the author,"What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West." So it wasn't created by any living thing. It was created by nature. Face is just another natural landform on Mars.

The Election by popular votes for the president of the United States is what I'm am arguing for. Having a president by the people who vote for him/her will make everyone happy& make everyone more comfortable. Having this argument is being done for all the people that agree with me. We as American Citizens should have a say so in who we chose as president. Good president, bad president. Either way, we should decide. It's only fair. If we all voted for the Electoral College, voters would not vote for the president, which would make most people discusted. Another thing, say you lived in Texas..and you wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry. They would go to Congress and Kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors? They're could be anyone not holding public office. It depends on the state who picks the electors, anyway. There are fives reasons for retainging the Electoral College despite its lack of democratic pedigree. All are practical reasons, not liberal or conservative reasons. one of the reasons is, "certianly of outcome." Example, in 2012 Obama recieved 61.7% of the electoral vote compared to Romney's 51.3% of the popular votes. A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes, 538, is an even number, but its highly unlikely. Another of the five, "Everyone's Prseident",No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. So a solid regional favorite, such as Romney was in the south, has no incentive to campaign heavily in those states, for he gains no electoral votes by increasing his plurality in states that he knows he will win. A candidate with only regional appeal in unlikely to be a successful president. So why only use certian votes? That is just a couple reasons why I am arguing today about Electoral College Process. I certianly disagree on the Electoral college. THIS SUCKSSSS. Lol                   

the use of technology to read emotional expression of students in a classroom is not valuable . Its not valuable to read classmates emotions because its pointless plus if that were the case we should already be able to read minds . In the text it states " we cant actually calculate their emotions". meaning it is possible but there is no purpose for it and Its weird on the creators point of veiw. the technology could give us the wrong sign of expression. In the text it also states .."the facial expression for each of them are universal". Meaning that everyone is titled to their own emotion . why would you want to tamper with it for no reason. I don't think it would be reasonable for anything. In conclusion The technology to read expressions of students are not valueable more like pointless or useless. every person has their own expressions and emotions. thats more like invading their privacy if you ask me . You can simply lookat the person's face to tell what kind of expresssion or emotions she/he is feeling.

Have you ever wonder if you car was safe? What if you were causing enviornmental damage? Would you chnage then? In VAUBAN, Germany residents of this upscale community are suburbam pioneers, going where few soccer moms or comuting executiver have nere thought about going before. They have given up there cars. In this experimental new district they are generally forbidden to have street parking, driveways, and home garages. As a result to this , 70 percent of Vaun=ban's Families do not own cars, and 57 precent Sold thir cars to move there. Automobiles are the linchpin of suburbs, where middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tebd to make their homes. And that,experts say, is a hge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. . . . passrngers cars are responsible for 12 precent of greenhouse gas emissions in europe . . . and up to 50 percent in some car0intensive areas in the United states.(Elisabeth Rosenthal) However, in Paris after days of near-recored pollution they enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france , after just five-days of intensifying smog. They all Blamed Diesel fuel, since france has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up 67 precent of vehicles in france, compared to 53.3 precent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe, According to Reuters.(Robert Duffer) In BOGOTA, Colombia a program that's ste to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day. Leaving the streets of the capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams. Municipal Authorities from other countries came to Bogota to see the event and were enthusiastis."These people re generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing border," said Enrique Riera, the mayor of Asuncion, Paraguay.(Andre Selsky) Atlast, in the United States, President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States'greenhouse gas emissions, unveiled last week. Fortuitious ssist from an incipien shift in Americans are buying fewer cars , drivingless and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. The United staes , with its broad expansas and suburban ideals, had long been one of the world prime car cultures. its is the birthplace of Model T; the hopme of Detroit; the place where wilson pickett immortalized "Mustange Sally". . . But Americas love affair with vehicles are cooling. So as you drive you high byrd cars down the highway, stop and think what your doing to the air and evironment around you.      

I believe that we should be using this technology in classrooms around the world. By using this tech it can help teachers modify their lessons to their students needs. This technology could help kids understand the subjects they are working on better because of how the teacher modified it. Teachers could learn how their students truly feel about the subject. By learning the students emotions it could help the teacher better their lessons. For example, a student could be bored in a class and the teacher can see that so he or she can make it more enjoyable for the class. it could change everyones attitude towards any given subject. This technology could change everyones emotions towards school. By using this technology it could improve the teachers themselves. By knowing what their students need the teacher could provide for them by modifying their lessons a little bit to be more exciting.This technology could help the teachers improve the students testing scores. This technology could change the futures for these young adults or kids. The teachers could better understand each and every students emotions towards literally anything. by understanding the students emotions it could help the teacher learn what he or she needs to do for the betterment of the class he or she is teaching. For example, a student is sad in a class and its affecting his or her grade so now the teacher can find out why the student is sad. This could help the students understand better if the teacher knows how their feeling. In conclusion, I truly believe that we need this technology in our school systems. By Dr. Huang predicting that a classroom computer could recognize when a student is bored or confused could lead to many discoveries in modern technology. This could help the teachers understand how their students are truly feeling. This is why we need this technology in our schools around the world.

The author's claim in the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is not well supported by the evidence provided, and the reasoning behind the evidence. The author claims that the planet Venus would be a worthy goal to pursue, despite the dangerous conditions and harmful atmosphere that the planet posseses. The author provides information on possible ways that we could overcome the challenge of landing on the planet Venus, but no clear reason as to why we should pursue this goal besides his own rationalization of a reason provided at the end of the article. Not only is the evidence that the author provides theoretical in the efficiency of the tools stated on another planet, but the purpose of the tools in collecting samples and taking photos is not descibed or elaborated on. Despite the risks, the author has no clear reason for the benefit of landing on Venus, and the tools that the author proposes do not support the idea that it would be possible to land on Venus and actively collect samples or take pictures. The author claims that the value of returning to Venus "seems indisputible" in paragraph 4, but the only reason for this claim is his analogy that Venus is similar in structure to Earth. In paragraph 5, the author states that a possible way to approach the planet seems possible, because NASA had an idea to create "a blimp-like vehicle to hover over Venus." The author in paragraph 6 states that the blimp would only allow us to recieve "limited insight" on the planet, and we would not be able to take samples or take pictures due to the dense atmosphere. The author does not provide any possible way to collect samples and overcome this issue, besides stating how "many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." This statment provides no actual evidence as to any progress researchers have made, or if anything useful will come from the knowledge of the surafce Venus. In paragraph 7, the author mentions a technology made of "silicon carbide" that has been tested by NASA, and survived a simulation of the conditions of Venus for three weeks. The author does not elaborate on the uses for these strong electronics, and leaves the reader guessing at the purpose of this technology. The author also mentions the use of mechanical computers used in the 1940s during World War II. The author speaks of how these computers make calculations by using gears and levers, but does not elaborate on anything else besides their increased resistance to "pressure, heat, and other forces." Once again the author provides no clear reason to the purpose behind the inventions, besides the possible survival of the technology on Venus. Finally, the author presents his own opinion in paragraph 8. The author states, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planent itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." Paragraph 8, as the author has wrote, is entirely opinionated and dangerously optimistic. His reasoning behind the value of "meeting the challenge of Venus" is the equivalent to practice for humanity, because "human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally indimidating endeavors." The authors opinion of the research on Venus, as shown by this statment, seems to be entirely based on the idea that we should practice for future endeavors despite the dangers which is not only naiive, but dangerous. To summarize all of this information, the author shows no clear reason as to why we should risk the resources and manpower to attempt an expedition on Venus. The author provides no purpose for the tools stated besides their increased survivability rate, and the author's opinion is forced onto the reader by stating in paragraph 8 that we should ignore the dangers and doubts of exploration to meet the limits of innovation. The author poorly supports his claim of "a worthy pursuit despite the dangers" and provides no facts or evidence for the benefits of humanity attempting the challenge of Venus.

Now that we are more advanced in technology each and every day people want to have the latest iPhone, watch or even car. We have advanced technology a lot and by a lot it is so much that car companies are starting to manufactor driverless cars. Yes, that sounds good for when you do nott want to drive but have to go somewhere but not all the time. By " driving " a driverless car comes a few risks of the technology failing on you while driving, less attention to the roads, and forgetting how to drive. The author states in paragraph 9 that, " If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufactor?" The author is right who do you think would be more in trouble or at fault the company or the driver. Yes, the driver can sew the company but the odds are not likely of winning that, because the driver assummed all the risks of getting into a wreck when you first bought it. Another reason why driverless cars are not good are because the person driving the car will pay less attention on the road. They will think that since it's a driverless car that nothing will affect them. Their are some drivers that might still pay attention to what is in front of them but again what if another person is not and the technology fails. You may even forget how to drive can you believe that. No, because you do not think that you will forget that; however that just may happen. By driving a driverless car you will not be the one driving it will be the car itslef. You will not be able to control it how you want it to. In paragraph 10 the author states, " Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time." he says 90 percent of the time in just 2016 but later on will it be all up to 100 percent? Now that we are more advanced in technology the dreams of people that thought that something could not be invented now can all thanks to the greater technology. Television and movies have been in love with the new and improved cars that can drive themselves and go fast. The viewers see them and want them and start planing for them in the futre. Do not get me wrong who would not like cars that would drive themselves when we have to go somwhere but do not want to drive. It would be nice to go somwhere far and not have to drive but not all the time. Driverless cars would be great for most part but then think of the risks of having one.

Between years 2001 and 2009 driving by young people has decreased 23 percent because of new innovations including compact suburbs, more bicycle paths and public transportion. There are many benefits for limiting your car usage including better moods and more compact easily accesible cities, a large decrease in pollution and its cheaper. In Vauban, Germany, Majority of there population of over five thousand have given up cars for simple reasons. A resident of Vauban stated that while using her car she felt , " tense" and that  "Im much happier this way". having a car can be very stressful because you have to be alert one hundred percent of the time. You also have to deal with other drivers on the road who might not be as responsible as yourself. One big reason for leaving your car behind could be the traffic jam. traffic jams are frustrating and cause bad moods and later on accidents. Another advantage is a more compact way of living. In Vauban, they have placed their shops on a walk way rather than in a mall to increase their accesibility to pedestrians and bike riders. Pollution has become a large threat to the world today because of cars and their exhaust. Cars are said to cause twelve percent of the greenhouse gases found in the atmosphere. Paris enforced a driving ban on monday for even numbered license plates because of the near record pollution problem in the city. These people had to leave their cars at home or be fined a thirty-one dollar ticket. many still disobeyed and some had their cars impounded. this shows us that car pollution is becoming out of hand, and limiting your car use can help the enviornment and lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. After 2005, studies show that the rate of driving began decreasing because of the recession. Americans could not afford to buy brand new cars ,and people without jobs just couldnt buy a car at all. Cars are becoming expensive which is why peole are taking alternate roots. this decrease in car buying will hold up the car making companies but could give people more money to spend on other things. Throughout the years car use has decreased because of carless communities, new banning laws, the growing numbers of greenhouse gases, increasing costs and and the growing trend of walking, riding a bike, and using public transportation such as trains and buses.             

I think that limiting car usage is great for the environment. There are a lot of benifits that come from it. If we use car less then greenhouse gas emissons will decrease and thus cleaning the air of smog. Some of the benefits that limiting car use is that: 1. it decreases poisonous smog, 2. lots of cities in the world are doing it, 3. and last but not least it could promote other ways of travel. Its about time that the world start changing some harmful habits. To start of, Reducing car use is very effective when trying to get rid of smog. In some cities such as Paris, smog is a big pollution there. In Paris they even went head to head with Beijing,China which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of this globally known city. by enforcing this, some days cars with even numbered license plate could drive. The next day odd numbered cars could drive. If you were caught then you were fined. so by paris doing this congestion was down a whopping 60% in Paris after just 5 days. This would cut down greenhouse effects tremendously. So far reducing car use sounds pretty good. Furthermore Paris isnt the only place in the world to do this. Bogota,Colombia in a program that's set to spread to other countries, miliions of Colombians either hiked, bike, skated, or took a bus to commute around the countriy to their destination. This is known as a car free day. This car-free day left the streets of the capitol void and empty of rush hour traffic. Even the U.S. goverment is considering the international event that is also helping the environment at the same time. Another thing to reduce greenhouse gas is if people would find a more alternative way of transportation. City buses could count as an alternative,because think if a bus could seat 30 people. Think if all 30 people had their own car, then the emisson amout would substantialy increase 30 vehicles rather than 1 vehicle . Other ways of transpotation are things such as bikes, skates/skateboard, or just walking. none of those alternatives release any type of emissions. In a way not using cars sounds great in many ways,but there are those people out there that rely on the usage of cars to transport themselves such as anyone with physical handicaps. Maybe this is the start of something new but what happens to this earth is all on us so it what we dicide to do with it rather we wont it to last or we can just let it go and lose the one planet we have left.                 

Do you want to see a lot of cool places and help out people? If you do then join the Seagoing Cowboys program. I think that you should be in the Seagoing Cowboys program because you will see a lot of unique cool places. You get to help different people. You also get to do a lot of fun things while adenturing. Some of the places that I saw was the Acropolis in Greece, I went on the gondola ride in Venice, Itally, and I also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China. Another reason you should be in the Seagoing Cowboys program is that you get to help other countries in need and you also help the people that lost mostly everything in the World War 2. You should also join because you get to do farming and if you did that when you were little and have been experienced then you will know what to do. You also learn things while you are in the Seagoing Cowboys program. If you like farm animals then the Seagoing Cowboys program is for you. You have to enjoy ships if you do this program because you will be on a ship for a while. When you are on the ship you get to do a lot of stuff to pass the time like you can play different types of games with other people on the ship. You can play games such as table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and other games. You can also play baseball and volleyball. You get to see exciting things on the way to different destinatons. You also get to go to different destinations all around the world. When you are a Seagoing Cowboy it is more than an adventure to some people. You get to learn more about the world. You get to do stuff with different people around the world. You get to have an awesome opportunity. But most importantly you get to help other people suffering from loss around the world.

In the article "Driverless cars are coming". I thought that its a great idea to make driverless cars. The reasons are pubic transportation systems, could improve roads, and makes it safer for drivers. Thats why I think they they should develope self driving cars. Transportatation for people is really critacl because they need to get places fast and in a safe way. The cars would use half the fuel of today's taxis and flexibilty than a bus said the aricle on the fisrt paragh. Which leads to the point in where safer transportsion means there should be safer roads. Safer roads is one of the biggest things the world should have. In the 3rd pragrah its says, "the track was embedded with an electrical cable that sent radio signals to a reciver on the front end of the car." What this is saying is that if the roads would be contraled by people , but the people would be contraling the cars so they can navagate in where the care would be going. Then if we navagate the car it means we can make the driver safe. Keeping the driver safe is a really good thing to do. To do this is by having alot of sensors in the car and also out side of the car. In paragrah number 7 in the articel it says, " they can steer, acclerate, and brake themselves, but all are disinged to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skilles, such as navigating through work zones. What this means is that humans driver have to be alerted to take over. This is a good thing becasue we could add another sensor which can navagate threw work zones so that the drive does not have to crash. Finally, I think that drivless cars should be around the world so that people would get to places faster and be much safer and not crush and get sude by other people. Also, I hope that other states in america are able to pass the law for self driving cars to take place.

Have you ever wondered about how another planet can be just like earth and how its terrain is well researchers have found out that venus can have the exact same terrain and other features to it as well. Venus often referred as earth's twin has the same density and size and it is the closest to our planet as well. While researchers try to land a spacecraft on the surface of venus it is almost impossible to because the temperatures on venus are an average of 800 degrees farenhite. The pressure is 90 times more than what we experience on our own planet so we would be crushed if we stay there. Thats only the beginning of what goes on there, there is erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking on its surface. But even after that it is just like our planet earth because scientist have been looking at venus and found that venus has a surface of rocky sediment and othr features like valleys, mountains, and craters. They have also found out that there use to be covered in largely oceans and also could've supported various forms of life. The conclusion to all this is that even though venus is dangerous and also good at the same time that we can still explore it and possibly have human life living there.

In 1976 the face was founf by NASA. the face was casued by a natural landform. NASA's Viking 1 was going around a planet and capturing pictues for a future place to land if they were to go to that planet, as they were going around they spotted a mark they sooned named it the Face on Mars, it reached nearly two miles from end to end it looked as if it was staring up at the ship. Scientits at fist thought it was just a shadow that looked liked a Egyptian Pharaoh. NASA soon let the pictures go public for all to see. Many people thought it was just giving an illusion of the eyes, nose, and mouth. It ingaged the public and attracted attention to Mars. On April 5, 1998 Mars Global Surveyor went over Cydonia for the very first time. Michael Malin and his MOC team took a photograh that was ten times sharper than the first Vikings photos. On April 8, 2001 Mars Global Surveyor got close enough for another look. Some people say it was created by aliens, but the people at NASA say it was just created by a natural landform. There have been other spots found similar to the one on Mars, found in the America West. It has reminded some of the people at NASA of the Middle Butte in Snake River Plain of Idho. Which is a lava dome that has formed mesa which is about as tall as the Face on Mars.

Are you for or against the driverless cars? The driverless cars could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. There is different points of views you could see this from driving or assisting, waiting on the law and seesing the world. First, one good thing about driverless cars that was mintioned in the article is "Sebastian Thrun, founder of the Google Car project, believes that the technology has finally begun to catch up to the dream". The 20th centry has finally improving on the technology that before 2000 there was no way that someone could make something that interesting. The reason that they couldn't make something as interesting as the driverless car is because they didn't have the right technology to be able to do so. Second, One reaosn that driverless cars might not be good thing is because the car can only function up to 25 miles per hour. It says that " their cars have drivin more than half a milion miles without a crash, but so far, Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accedents". If there was a crash than the car wouldn't know what to do you would have to drive the car. That's why since 2009 that the Google cars havent been fully driverless yet. What if you get in a car accedint who's fault is it the manufacturers or the person behing the wheel? That would be something they would have to work out and have to investigate in to. Next, Driverless cars can be dangerous but also a great tool for the improving of the technology that we have today. " Traffic Jam Assistant". " the car can handle up to 25 miles per hour, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." non of the cars developed today are completely driverless they still have to hold on to the wheel but they can steer, accelerate and brake themselves, but the driver has to be aware when ther is an upcoming crash or traffic jam to be able to take care of the situation". This could be a good or bad thing depending on how the driver can take control of the car or not in bad situations that the driverless car can not control. Finally, Are you for or against the driverless cars in the future? We have the technology to be able to make it happen, the driverless cars can get you in a car accedent and cause you to have to fight with the manufactuer of the car and they can aslo be dangerous to situations like car crashes and traffic situation on the road. Driverless cars are in the future.

To support the authors details,I'm going to use details from this passage. The author thinks that Venus is worthy to pursuit, despite the dangers. Here is one detail from the passage that supports this. "Often referred to as Earth's "twin,"Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size." But it would be very challegning only because the conditions on Venus are very rough and must be elevated off the ground at most 30 miles above the ground to get a good look. Plus more details from the passage say "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planets surface, tempatures average over 800 degrees. Despite all those dangers I think it is very possible to get a better look at the beautiful planet that we live next to! heres a quote to show that nasa doesn't let little things get in the way."Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imgination and innovation.

The Next Big Thing Can you imagine a world where we would no longer have to learn how to drive? The roads today are more dangerous than ever. People hardly pay attention now to the roads now, especially teenagers. Everyone is on their phone while they are driving, either texting, calling, or social media. These cars would be good for anyone, even the elderly. Driverless cars would be safer than regular cars. People may think that driverless cars would be bad beacuse drivers would pay less attention to the roads, but they are already not paying attention. Driverless cars would cause less wrecks from texting and driving. If we had driverless cars we would be able to eat in the car, maybe do makeup, and be able to call and text back without the treat of not paying attention. It would be easier trying to find a destination in a driverless car because the driver would not have to do anything. The car would turn all on its own and have the map already planned out. If the driver was actually driving while trying to find a location, they may get lost. It is complicated trying to drive and trying to listen to your phone or car give you directions. But, if something were ever to occur and human assistance was needed, the car would notify the driver. Such as the drivers seat would vibrate if a dangerous obstruction were to come up, such as a traffic jam, an accident, and so on. New technology and software is making this big change happen. Driverless cars are coming into our society and we need to accept that they are the future and the next generation will be driving them. Automobile manufatures, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan are already testing out this new technology and plan to have driverless cars by 2020. The next big thing is almost here.

In the classroom, most students are very bored and tired. Many students are not happy with spending the day in school. Teachers all over the country are collaborating to find things that intrest students. Technology is hitting almost every school currently and it is bring kids to school more eager to learn. Now, there is a computer software system created by Thomas Huang and Nicu Sebe that can detect someones emotions. This program detects a persons emotions by looking at how the muscles work. An example of this progam is when the author describes Mona Lisa and says "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry". Technology should be used to read the emotional expressions of students during class becasue it will help teachers find ways to make education exciting for students. Although sometimes people can read someones emotions, it is not possible every time. A student could act like they are enjoying school when they are really not. in some cases, students may not be sad because they are at school but becasue something is happeing to them outside of school. In paragraph eight, the author says "Meanwhile, muscles called orbicularis oculi pars palpabraeus make crow's-feet around your eyes . But in a false smile the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorius." This is an example of how sometimes people can not read someones emotions. Also, the program would allow a teacher to change his or her lesson plans due to how students enjoy the teaching style. "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or board, Dr Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor." Many students do not use words to express how they feel about something so this is a way to find out if they enjoy the teaching style or not. If schools are able to get technology that detects emotions, it will help with how they need to organize the day and how to make it more fun for students to learn. This will lead to an increase in passing and graduation rates. It is very imortant to educate students becasue the students today will be leaders in the future society.

I think they should join the club. They are the best you can go to many different places. Luke got to go sight seeing. He got his wish. So come on and join.

Some people think that the face on Mars is really created by aliens. There is some scientifical evidence to this. The real fact is that the face on Mars is just a natural landform. When NSSA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft was in space it took pictures. A few days later NASA unveiled a image. There was a natural landform that looked like a human head, shadows gave the rock some eyes, a noes, and mouth. People began thinking that it was an acutal thing created by aliens. Scientists didn't believed this though. On April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. The team up there snapped picures of the landform again and people were eager to find out the truth about the face. After seeing the picture when it was appeared on a JPL web site people now knew the truth. It is just a landform and not a face created by aliens. It's obvious now, the face is just a naturtal landform. There were no aliens.

When taking the action to limit car usage, that sets up many great advantages for you. It provides advantages in many different aspects in your life and also the community. Across the world states, countries,cities, and towns have all decided to limit their car usage and have found many great advantages in doing this. In German suburbs the action to limit car usage has taken place and people have already taken part of the great advantages. From the text, Heidrun Walter claims "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," meaning that her life without a car is better then when she did. Also the fact that not having a car limits on the expenses a person would have to waste. This also influences your money saving and gives you more money to handle more important thing. Further into the article it states "...is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes...Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the united States." This means that cutting off on cars will  

Hi my name is,,, well you probably know my name. Ok so I read a story about a boy who went for an adventure somewhere. He was about 19 only 18. He has a best friend he went with. And he was so excited to be going. I am going to tell you a story about a boy who followed his dream and became a seagoing cow boy. He was in highschool when one of his friends offered to take him to a wonderfull play. He started to surf a that's how he became successful. He can become a seagoing cowboy so can you. He followed his dream so maybe you should too. And if you do fallow your dreams I'm sure you will become successful and earn your way to the top. And if you don't choose this path I hope you still choose something like seagoing Cowboys and still make sure you fallow your own dream. Hello I think you will still be successful in any way. Make sure you have a friend like Luke's his friend is friendly, nice courageous, thoughtful and kind. P.S. Make sure your job is fun for you or at least you really like it.
