53774df | Dear State Senator,
I am in favor of keeping the electoral college election. This method has worked well for us so far, and there would be no point in changing it now.
the electoral college is fair. A presidential candidates must have trans-regional appeal to be elected."No region (South, Northeast,ect.)has enough electorial votes to elect a president."(Richard A. Posner) If a presidential candidate with only regional appeal was elected, he would unlikely be successful president. The people would feel like their votes didn't count, like they didnt have a voice in this nation anymore. Would our nation fall apart?
With electorial college we aviod the situation in which no candidate receives a majority of votes(run-off election). Run-off elections is reduced by the electorial college. There is no pressure in our nation for a run-off election. The electorial college invariably produces a clear winner, so that there is no confusion.
Our founding fathers saw the future. they knew that this process, of electing a president, would carry are nation through the decades. It is in my best interest that we keep the electorial college.
sincerely,

90d716e | Some cities are making themselves car-free. Like in Vauban, Germany; Paris; Bogota, Colombia; and even the president of the United States is trying to "curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 29). In Vauban, Germany residents of a community are "going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: the have given up their cars" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 1).Some advantages of limiting car usage is people are happier without cars and it promotes the alternative transportation and reduce smog.
The first advantage of limiting car usage is that people are happier without cars. "The day without cars is part of an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city, according to Mockus, the city's mayor" (Selsky, Paragraph 27). "As a result, 70 pecent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 3). "It was the third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without cars in this capital city of 7 million" (Selsky, Paragraph 21). "Vauban, completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called "smart planning""(Rosenthal, Paragraph 4). Finally "the rise in cellphones and car-pooling apps has facilitated more flexible commuting arrangements, including the evolution of shared van services for getting to work" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 35).
The second advantage of limiting car usage is that it promotes the alternative transportation and it reduces smog. "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city"(Duffer, Paragraph 10). "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog . . . [The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known os one of the most polluted cities in the world" (Duffer, Paragraph 14). "millions of colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams" (Selsky, Paragraph 20). Also "the number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped speadily thereafter.... As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 32). And "people who stopped car commuting as a result of the recession mat find less reason to resum the habit" (Rosenthal,Paragraph 36). But finally "Mine (19 and 21) have not botheres to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where one could come in handy. They organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 39).
And those are the reasons why some cities are making themselves car-free. People are a lot more happy with no cars as said from Elisabeth Rosenthal ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way". And also because people are trying to promote the alternative transportation and reduce smog, thats why Paris "enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city" (Duffer, Paragraph 10). So what do you think should citites ban driving? | 12

ac972d8 | The author did a great job supporting his/her previous statements. The author used many examples and real facts to back up the explanation of why we should keep studying and trying to get to Venus. Venus is a complicated planet, with many features that are not imaginable. Although we haven't made many big discoveries about Venus itself, we will still continue to learn, look at, and love everything about it.
The author stated that Venus is extremely dangerous do to the crazy temperatures, radioactivity, and absurdly high atmospheric pressures. "On the planets surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet"(The Challenge of Exploring Venus 3). This quote represents everything previously stated. It speaks of the high temperatures and the atmospheric pressure on Venus' surface and atmosphere. "Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun"(The Challenge of Exploring Venus).
This quote shows another fact that'll help back up other statements. It talks about how Venus actually has the hottest surface in our solar system.
In concluson, Venus should continue to be studied and should be understood by everyone. After reading this passage, it's hard not to see the beauty of life. After years and years of studying and learning, maybe one day we'll make a ground-breaking discovery about Venus, and we'll be able to inhabit the planet somehow, along with having a better understanding of our solar system. | 12

84cb271 | Venus is one of the closest planets to the earth. It is called the "Evening Star" according to paragraph one. It was refered to as Earth's twin because it is almost Earth's size and density. Venus also has on of the harshest conditions such as surface temperature, weather, and pressure. These are some reasons why NASA hasn't been able to land or stay on Venus.
It is worth going to Venus? It is worth going to Venus because NASA thinks that at some point in history, Venus was a planet like Earth. Venus shows that it has valleys, mountains, volcanoes, and craters. This planet can show us what happened to it and what might happen in the future to Earth. Some might think that it is still dangerous to go to Venus.
It is dangerous to go to Venus although we have already tried Venus is on the most interesting planets to go to because of it conditions. If we can land on Venus and examine it, we can study what type of rocks it has and why it is worth it. If it has minerals that are stronger than Earth's minerals, we could start a minning expedition to it. NASA has tried but failed in many ways. They have tried making probes that try to show images of the planet but can't because of the dense atmosphere.
The atmosphere is one of the reasons we haven't been able to land on the planet. The atmosphere is think and is compossed of mostly carbon dioxide. It also has deadly lightning stikes that have destroyed some drones that tried to land on the surface. It is a big risk but might be worth it. Most of Venus hasn't been explored and it might be interesting going there.
In conclusion, going to Venus might be dangerous but might also be worth it. This planet is one of the most interesting ones in the galaxy because of its atmosphere. It is also interesting because we don't know what is on it. Venus shows characteristics that are close to Earths and it might be worth investigating what happened on the planet. Venus has many clues to what might happen to our planet if we don't take care of it. | 23

c341a23 | The use of this technology should not be used by student ins a classroom.
This interface would be new and it would bring more worries to students who are already struggling with normal class and normal tools, so adding this would make all things worse. Maybe for some students in their finals years in college, it would be a great idea, but for now, and with what most students are doing in class, it's uncalled for.
To start things off, most students would more than likely play around with the tool, worrying about the wong people, or just simply not atke the thing serious, which isn't their fault. Students are in a point inf their life where some are just either trying to make it out, or go to a nice university to pursue their careers, and a high-skilled tool isn't something they should have. If anything, this should be used for something more serious than to check what the Mona Lisa was thinking about.
Furthermore, students should be able to try and guess what certain people are thinking when they forwn, or make an oblivious face. A new piece of technology is too advanced for students right now and it's very uncalled for. Students wouldn't be recieving the same way of learning that they're used to, with some struggling more than others, it can become a real problem.
Lastly, it's not needed. Majority of students don't need a new set of tech just to figure out someones facial expressions and or moods. Humans already have the ability to observe and determine on what someone can be thinking and so on. THe new piece of technology is better off saved for a future where it will more than likely be used by not only students, but society as we know it. | 12

d6f213f | Dear Senator,
I am writing to Complain about the electoral college. It is not a good and reliable way to elect a president. The desicion needs to be up to us, not the electors. It needs a change, badly.
For starters, the electoral college is small. It says in the passage, "What is the electoral college?", that "The electoral college consists of 538 electors". Now, its no rocket science to me, but that is nothing compared to the Billion people that live in this country. Now, i know that some might say that even though we have the right to vote at the age of 18, not every one votes. And, as that is true, i can tell you for a fact that more than 538 citezens of America vote every year. That is the problem for the electoral college.
Now, if that isn't convincing enough, just know that in the passage, "The Indefensable electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong", it says that over 60 porcent of voters would rather have a direct election instead of the kind we have now. And, it says that the voters are not even voting for a president, but instead, voting for a slate of electors to vote for a president.
Another reason that the elecotral college should be disposed of is that it can turn off voters whose state is already set on Democrat or Republican, and have no desire to vote due to the fact that thier vote may not matter, as it says in the last paragraph of "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our Despised method of choosing a president". That is wrong because every one's vote needs to count, wether it makes a difference in the end or not.
So, Senator, I hope you understand where i am coming from on this, and that something can be done. Thank you for your time. Good-Bye. | 23

ab4cdb9 | I am against the development of driverless cars. I am against the development because "if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault?" There are many reasons why the development of driverless car are not safe.
I am against the development of driverless cars because its could not be safe at all times, "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." Laws are written to keep people safe, if thats the law then driverless cars might not be safe.
Driverless cars may not sound or look dangerous but you never know."In most states it is illegal even to test computer driven cars." It is illeagal in some states probably beacause they are not proven to be safe yet. If they were really safe I think that they would allow them to just test drive them.
Laws about the driverless car are going to change if they do make a safe driverless car. The laws are probably still going to be strict ans safe. "Even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of in accident." If an accident did happen and there was no law who would be blamed for it, the driver shouldn't be because its a driverless car.
"Television and movies have long been fascinated with cars that could drive themselves." Just because we see it in movies or tv shows doesn't mean it real or safe. There are some good things about driverless cars, but there are alot more thing that are bad or just not safe about them. | 23

ac0ce23 | The challenging of exploring Venus. The idea of studying Venus is the dangers and worthy of it. It says that Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun.
Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atomspheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Astronomers are Fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system.
Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. Also Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges.
Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus. By the way NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions.
Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of immagination and innovation.
So my conclusion to this essay would have to be that the Author was trying to say that Venus is beautiful despite the dangers of it like exploring getting to know it
also Venus is sometimes called the "Evening Star." I mean Venus is interesting people want to know more about the planet you could learn something new in life. They are wanting to send humans to Venus study the planet so yes it is worthy studying Venus despite the dangers of it. | 12

c133921 | Many people struggle with reading peoples emotions. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile " by Nick D' Alto writes that the Facial Action Coding System is valuable for students in classrooms. While many may agrue that the Facial Action Coding System are not valuable, In fact it is. For example, being able to detect how other people are feeling, develope better ways for humans and computers to communicate, and lastly the computers could modify the lessons based on the how the students are feeling.
First, the Facial Action Coding System is valuable for detecting how people are feeling. Alto writes, " Imagine being able to detect exactly how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions. New software has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others" . This quote shows that when a person is confused on what the other person is feeling , this machine will help someone know exactly how the other peron is feeling.
Second, the Facial Action Coding System is valuable for developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate. Alto writes," Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for human and computers to communicate". This quote shows that this machine is not only detecting facial emotions but it is a great way for humans to comunicate with computers.
Thirdly, the Facial Action Coding System is valuable for Modifying the lessons based on how students are feeling. Alto writes," A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored...Then it could modify the lesson" . This quote shows that the computer could pick up if one of sudents is getting confused , bored ,etc. and it could modify the lesson so that the student will not be confused or bored anymore.
The Facial Action Coding system is valuable to have in a classroom , Although many say its not, These three reasons is why having the Facial Action Coding System is valuable in a class room. In the world today many people struggle knowing what someone is feeling so they know wheather to help them or not so this machine could really help someone in the future. " whoever thought that makeing faces could reveal so much about the science of emotions". | 23

e12095f | Dear State Senator(s), there's something wrong with the Electoral College. It's unfair to voters. The voters aren't really voting for the presidents. So what's the point of voting? The Electoral College is irrational. I agree with Bradford Plumer, the writer of source two, that Bob Dole is right: Abolish the Electoral College!
As stated in source two, paragraph ten, "Voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Voters can't control who their electors vote and could sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate. It's not fair, and it would be better if presidents were elected by popular vote. More people would vote if it was that way. According to the article,
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong , even Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO all agree on abolishing the Electoral College. So, we have them, and over 60 percent of voters who agree. When can the U.S. just elect presidents by popular vote?
Now, we could keep the Electoral College because looking at the article by Richard A. Posner, it avoids run-off elections. The article,
In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President , says that "There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast; that pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential election process, is reduced by the Electoral College, which invariably produces a clear winner.." You could use that reason for arguing, but here's it's weakness: What if the disaster factor happens again? When in 1960, a state sended two slates of electors to Congress.
It's already been agreed that the electoral college is outdated. The U.S. should change it's method of electing President because, it's unfair, over half of the voters don't like the electoral college, and the disaster factor can't happen again. Why are we using a process for electing president that most of the voters don't like? | 23

83c22e9 | You wonder if Venus could be explored? Well we could one day. I think we could explore Venus. These things can help us to reach that goal is mechanical computers, allow scienists to float above the plant surface, silicon carbide, and other inovations.
One way is using mechanical computers. mechcanical computers don't have to use modern technogoly in them. In the text it says, "but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all." Then it says, "systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." This tells us that the mechanical computers are resisent twards Venus's harsh enviroment.
Then another way is sending scape craft to hover around venus, so that sciencetists who are studying Venus would be space.
In the text it says, "Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." Then it states says again' "a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. " This tells you that the sciencetists would be safe and sound in the ship while they are studying Venus.
Then another way is to make materials that would survive the Venus's terrian. One material would be silicon carbide. In the text is says, "some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venuss surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." then the text says, "Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." This tells us that silicon carbate would survive on Venus's terrian and other inovatoins.
In conclusion humanity will go to Venus at some point in time, but with the proper tools and edicatoin. I still think we cen explore mars. well do you still think we can go to Venus? | 23

dddade0 | The Adventures of a Seagoing Cowboy
Written By: PROPER_NAME
"Whoosh Splat" those are the sounds of waves crashing against my cattle boat. These are also sounds heard by my crew and I "Seagoing Cowboys." We are people who are hired to take care of horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. You should look for an opportunity to sign up to be in the Seagoing Cowboy's program because you can go sightseeing, you get the satisfaction of helping others, and you can play games to pass time.
First of all, we can play fun games onborad and just relax. While some of you might say, that we can play games anywhere anytime. Yes, that may be true but playing games on a boat is probably someting not many people have done. For example, We found time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. We can do these things to pass time when you think things are super boring. Also, you just get a time to enjoy being on a boat wih your crew and relax so you can just have fun.
Second, you get the satisfaction of helping others. People might say they could just do it themselves. They could but the main part of being a Seagoing Cowboy mainly consists of helping people in need. We get to help countries for a good cause. For example, we get to help people recover food and feed a hungry family. The best part about this job is, you get to take care of animals and keep them safe while the family can get set up once again.
Lastly, we get to go sightseeing. Some might say, you could just buy a plane ticket and go wherever you want. While that may be true, we don't have to pay to get here. For example, "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special," I said. You can stop and see countries you'd never imagine going to. You can stop and see famous landmarks that you've dreamed of visiting. The possibilities are endless!
In Conclusin, You should look for an opportunuty to sign up be in the Seagoing Cowboy's program because you can go sightseeing, you get the satisfaction of helping others, and you can play games to pass the time. My job as a seagoing cowboy is to give families hope and let them be joyous because of you. Being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for me. it opened up the world to me. I'm grateful for the opportunity,"i said,"It made me more aware of people and other counries and their needs." And that awareness stayed with me, leading my family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years. Go sign up now to be a seagoing cowboy! | 34

c18808b | I will be talking about the dangers of venus in the story of " The challenges of Exporing Venus. Venus is the closest plant to Earth, to study Venus researchers have to take a risk, Venus is a proven challenge place to examine more closely too.
Venus, also known as "Evening Star" is actually the sencond planet to our sun. Venus is a planet that is vary close to the planet we live on now Earth, Earth has everything for humens to live on. Study shows Venus would be the place all humans might have to go to if something happens to Earth. As they still study the plant it gets more challenges everyday.
Venus is a proven challenge to all researchers, Studys does say its the most resourses humans can have when something ever happens to Earth but has researches dig more up from Venus it shows there is no spaceraft that can survied the landing more then a few hours. What does this say about the researchers you may ask, well if humnas can't land on Venus longer then a few hours how will they get all the study's done? Well now right theyare recreating an object that can do it for us. The object can help us out a lot by finding the things we can't
Researchs are trying to uncover so much from Venus, they are all taking a big risk to see if it is Earth like, and if it is a place for humans to go if we ever need too. Takeing a big risk for millions and millions of hums sounds like superheros right? Well they are, researching may have the scarest job but it could be a lot of fun learning so much both how to help hamans, and to stud other planets.
In conclusion Venus is dangers right now as were speaking but it is the so close to an Earth like planet, researchers do take big risk to do as much as they can to find out much out about Venus, and Venus is a proven challenge to try and study because our spaceships can't be on there longer then a few hours. in my point of veiw is see venus can a plent we might go to oneday, rather is just to view, or if it to actually life on. | 23

56c1dfe | Evaluating Expressions is Effective
I believe that the Facial Action Coding System would be beneficial to read students' emotional expressions.
Having the capability to detect students' emotions through computers can have many positive outcomes, such as promoting ads, increasing learning comprehension, and graphic design improvements.
The use of this technology having the abililty to read one's emotions, can be valuable in the fact that it can promote ads more efficiently.
In paragraph 6, they say, "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."
This phrase prevails how if the computer can detect your emotions, it can also detect how you feel about a promotion.
This will help sell more products for companies, and help buyers get information on what they are actually interested in.
This new software will also come in handy in increasing learning comprehension.
It states in paragraph 6 that Dr. Huang says, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored.
Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."
This statement makes logical sense, in the fact that a student may be able to understand his or her work better if a Facial Action Coding System computer is available.
This could possibly increase literacy rates, simply due to the fact that a computer can detect facial expressions.
Another reason that these new devices are beneficial is because they can improve graphic designing.
This makes video games, video surgery, graphic models, and other animated subjects more realistic.
Dr. Huang also states, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication, so computers need to undertand that, too."
Although the technology can be very valuable in the classroom, it can have a downside, however.
Having Facial Action Coding System computers can result in miscommunications.
Paragraph 3 states, "Eckman has classified six basic emotions--happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness."
A student learning a lesson on a computer may have a frown on their face because they are having a bad day.
The computer may pick up this emotion, and mistake it for not understanding what is being taught.
All technology is capable of having mishaps.
This new device may not be guaranteed to be 100% accurate at all times.
Overall, the value of using this technology to read students' emotional expressions can be unbelievably useful.
The pros of using this new software, tremendously outweigh the cons.
I believe that students having this resource would create positive outcomes in the long run. | 34

a06ce47 | I am more on the against side of technology, I feel technology is already bad enough to society. I feel this tecnology is just as bad as texting because its not acurate. In a text message you cant see the person so you never know what tone a person is texting you in. I feel this is a waste of time because we already have video call and facetime and these apps are more acurate than the Facial Action Coding System.
In this passage it states that by moving your muscles may not show your true emotion or face expresions, it just goes by how your muscles move in your face. This makes so much sene because we are all as humans have different musles, for example if a baby were to make a face expression and you mocked the baby your facial expression wouldn't exact turn out to be the same, which means your emotion could also be diferent when really it could possibly be the same emotion. In section 4 it states that humans have different ways to express themselves through different emotion, but then says these muscles can detect that, but if your not showing thee correct facial expression then the technology still wouldn't know your emotions.
In my opinion, theres enough technology in this world. Technology isnt always accurate either which could either be a good thing or bad. I feel we wouldn't even use this the facial coding system because society is so hooked on apps and facetime that they wouldnt even understand why they would need this app. Technology is overcoing society and is turning out to be a bad thing, these's barely any communication anymore or braceness when it comes to speaking out in front of people. The Factial Action Coding System is worthless. | 23

e80f2b4 | I agree with having driveless cars. I think that having driveless cars could be good, but with some changes made to it. Yes, it uses less fuel than what most people already use today to go places, but if Google is saying that it's going to be driveless car, then it has to be a driveless car. You can't drive it, it has to drive itself, know when to stop at stop signs or red lights, know when to go at a green light.
As I read the passage, I noticed all these different things that the car cannot do that we want it to do. If this is suppose to be a driverless car, then why do we still have to have our hands on the wheel? Can't we just get in and have it atuomatically turn on as soon as it feels weight being put upon it? Then all we would have to do is buckle in, take out or phones and scroll through picutres and what not.
If Google really wants to make this a driverless car, then make it one. Don't make it to where we would still need our hands on the wheel, helping the car. It should know how to do everything already. We shouldn't have to back out on our own. The car itself should be alert when there's an accident, not us. The car should be alert when there's work zones, again, not us. The car should be alert at all times.
Everyone in this generation is already trying to text while driving at the same time and try not crash, but it still happens. Alot of people now are driving drunk which is bad. With driverless cars though, that won't happen. Everyone would be safe and we wouldn't have any accidents anymore.
When we get into the car, the car should back out on its own. It should know when to make hard stops if some other car gets in the way, it should know when right away where it needs to go when we tell it.
I honestly still think that having driverless cars will be better than what we drive now. More people will get into less accidents, no more reckless driving, no more texting while trying to drive. Everyonr will be safer with driverless cars. The world could be a better place with them and no one would ever have to worry anymore. Parents wouldn't have to worry about their kids going out and not crashing. This could solve a lot of other things. Drunk driving being one of them. With driverless cars, the driver has no control over the car. So, if someone decides to go out and get drunk and then head home by themselves, the car will get them home safely without any trouble. No one will get hurt.
We'll be a more safe enviroment with these cars. Less fuel, less accident, less reckless driving, less impatient drivers as well. There will be more less drunk driving and those drunk drivers hurting or even killing others while driiving. Everyone has different opinions about this topic, and this is mine. | 23

0079938 | I don't like the idea of driveless cars. I feel like if a human can do it we should. Especially when it comes to things like that. like the idea of robots, would you really want something cleaning for you and taking care of older folks and children. I do think they are a good idea for the blind and people not going to far. Like since i live in Indiana, they would be a good idea for people in Indianapolis to get from the mall to like a resturant or something. Nothing major or far like driving from Indiana to California, not a good idea. I just don't trust things like that.
Driveless cars are sort of a good idea. they're are many pros and cons about the whole thing. I feel like they are dangerous because they could malfuncting and blow up or something. Or they will drive right into a buliding at full speed or something. No car is really safe in general, but letting a robot like thing drive your car is kinda a crazy idea. Another con is that they can't really drive by itself, it still needs you to hold the steering wheel and take control when around accident ot people working on roads. I feel like if they want to have driving cars they should just bulid a car that can drive people instead of a car that half does it. Another con is that they are basically illlegal in most states except a couple. Would we have to visit somewhere else to expericence what crazy technology the world has for us now. I also think they are a bad idea because driving are probably going to be directly on their phone, no hand on the steering wheel or anything. And like it says, when the car needs you to take over it will tell you to take over. But i feel like people will just ignore it and get into accidents they could have prevented.
Pros are that you can half drive. You wouldn't have to really pay attention to anything around you and you could just relax while driving. | 23

be177ee | The idea of a driverless car isn't safe to me. Sergey says that driverless cars are coming in the near future, but the cars aren't even one hundred percent
driverless. The car is still required to have a driver take control if a dangerous accident was happening or if you had to pull out of a drive way. Why can't this "Driverless car" handle dangerous situations and pulling out of a drive way without human precaution? Driverless cars aren't cable of doing human things because it doesn't have a mindset of a human on the road.
Sergey explains in paragraph 5 that the driverless cars have sensors, but even sensors don't always work. If the sensor was to stop working and the car wasn't be able to alert itself an accident can happen. None of the cars developed are completely capable of being driverless without a driver in the car and paying attention, so why name them driverless cars? If the car requires a driver to still be alert at all times and be ready to take over the wheel, shouldn't the driver just drive their own car themselves? It's no point of a driverless car if it still needs a humans caution while it's driving. People who hear about a ''driverless car" would idmmediatley assume they don't have to drive or pay attention at all to the road and the car will do all the road work for them.
I don't agree with the driverless car invention because just how humans can have accicents when driving while having knowledge about driving on the road so can a car that is knowledged on driving by technology, humans crash and computers crash. This driverless car isn't even proven to be reliably safe. Humans are more capable of driving because humans are meant to drive. You can't have a car without a driver. Why teach a car to drive and have the ability to alert themselves if a accident occured like a human when thiers billions of people that can just drive on thier own?
A driverless car isn't needed. | 23

691ef51 | HI, I'm Luke and im part of the seagoing cowboys program. It's really fun and exciting too. I think you shoud try and join because it may be dangerous but it really is fun. We need more people to join! Would you want to join us on our adventures?
Our ship is really cool too! We're almost like pirates in a ship on the sea. We get to go to so many new places as well. I've been to Greece, New Orleans, the Panama Canal, China, and different parts of Europe. You always hav time to have fun too when your on board or off board. We play vollleyball, baseball, and table tennis. We also fence, box, read, whittle, and play games just to pass the time. This is an opportunity of a life time!
Trust me you dont want to miss this! I love this place and have made many friends on it. You will have so much fun too! I hope i see you here one day! I hope you will like it too. | 12

554ae4e | Do you like to travel around the world, help people from World war II and keep cattle calm, and like to explore?
If you are intrested in all of theese or even one you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program like I did.
If you like to travel then you'll love to be a part of the Seagoing Cowboys program.
If you join the Seagoing Cowboys program you will get to travel the world on a boat.
A benifit was I had the chance to see Europe and China. If you join you will probably get to see plenty of new beautiful places you haven't seen before.
Also
the view when your on the boat is just magnificent.
When your a seagoing cowboy you will be helping people who had damage from World War II by giving them cattle.
This helps them because these places took serious damage from world war II.
Europe and China probbably had most of their cattle killed so we help by giving them horses young cows and
and mules so they can have milk and meat.
These cattle will also provide them with clothing to wear.
I took care of the cattle in my years of being a Seagoing Cowboy.
So if you like to help people and keep animals calm then you might be intrested.
My last and final reason you should be apart of the Seagoing Cowboys program is because you get down time and you get to explore the area.
If you you're in one of those jobs that gives you no downtime and sll you do is work I suggest you quit and join us.
While i was a Seagoing Cowboy we stopped in Greece and I saw the Acropolis.
This was a breath taking sight.
In your downtime youmight be able to see
some amazing sights also.
you'll get to see thing like you've never seen before.
In clonclusion you should become part of the Sea going Cowboys program because you get to travel the world, help people that had damge from World War II and comfort the cattle that your shipping to them, and you get downtime to explore where you are and see breathtaking sights.
If you do join i might be able to teach you more about being a Seagoing Cowboy. I hope you'll consider joining. | 34

25e3cc1 | Face on Mars! Natural landform? or Created by Aliens? I believe that the structure is a natural landform. NASA would not want to hide life on mars. They have been researching for years to find life on Mars.
NASA has been researching Mars for years looking for living things. Nothing was ever found. So, why believe there was ever ancient civilization on Mars, if through out all the research, nothing was ever found. Some still disagree and believe that there is new life on Mars. But, in order for there to be a new there has to be an old.
When Garvin decided he wanted to get a better look at the face on Mars himself, he also agreed that it would be a natural landform. He used a digital image three times bigger that the pixle size. Therefore, if there were any signs of live, shakes, houses, aliens, ect. you would be able to point it out from the picture.
Yet, there was still nothing found. Although some people still believe aliens live on Mars, and aliens created the face structure. There is proof that you can not spot any digns of life on Mars. So, therefore, we come to the conclusion that the structure was a natural landfor, that just so happened to look like a face. | 23

a286208 | I think it is valuable to use this technology in schools or what ever there is they want to know or use them for or even on other things, beacuse you want to know if your students are sad or what they are feeling like on a day to day bases.
Since some kids dont really tell you whats going on with their life, and you see them sad or crying but they wont tell you what they are feeling like. So I think you can use these. I think students will find very interesting these computer models, beacuse they have 3-D cumputer models that recognize their faces and get every little muscle of their face to make almost like a replica in order to see the facil expressions you make, like when the cumputer recognises your face it shows if you like something or not like the ads on your phone.
If you like it it shows more like those you just watched, but sometimes In my opinion, feel like it just wants you to stay on your phone and kepp being on it, and I find it kind of creepy that it knows your face and the way you feel. But for the most part teen and other people would like these in a cool way to use. Just like they tried using it on a Mona Lisa painting to see what she was feeling back then, beacause she looked like she was very mad at somthing.
But other wise i think it will be great and i think they should use them in schools. I find it very interesting for many students and myself to use, I think they should allow it in many schools | 23

6c18dde | Venus
Venus is the closest planet to earth and in terms of density and size. Venus is a very interesting place that scientists are always trying to find a way to discover new things about Venus, but that the planet is so inhospitable. Astronomers are so amazed by Venus because Venus may be the most earth-like planet in our solar system. Venus can have some features that the earth has and that it's our nearest option for a planetary visit. Venus can be a challenge to us because we human have curiosity what that planet can offer to us.
Venus has some smiliar and difference to earth because they both have different speed on the way they orbit the sun. Venus can be a challenge to us because it can be hard for us to get there. In that the degree temperature on Venus surface is over 800 degrees faherenheit and that atomsperic pressure is 90 times greater than we experience on our planet. Even though that Mercury is closer to our sun Venus has the hottest surface temperature. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration wants to send humans to study Venus so they can answers to there questions that they have.
To study Venus, it has risks because researchers cannot take samples of rocks, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore scientists are trying to find ways to get a close up look or to get things from there to take back to earth, but in order to do that there are risks. Researchers are trying to build machines that can last long, at least to get some information about Venus. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration are simplifing some electronics and trying to look back to an old technology called mechanical computers. Venus has gained value to humans because we are so curious when we find out something new and we just need answers in order for us to stop being curious.
The whole main thing is that humans always face new challenges and with those challenges we try to overcome it. Venus made humans curious because there are some smiliarties and differences about earth. But in order to try to find answers there can be risks. Humans always tries to find ways to get answer, facing new obstacles, building new stuff, or just predicting things. Venus is a new challenge for us, but with the right techniques we well find answers. | 23

1e1b741 | Driverless cars are the new future to this planet and in technology. There needs to be a new and improved way to drive cars, even if the driver does not need to touch the steering wheel. To support my reasonings would include what Google cofounder Sergey Brin has developed and thought about. The cars that he foresees would use half the fueld of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. Secondly would be that of the Toyota Prius that uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel which would allow you to estimate how far away or close you are to a curb or another vehicle. Lastly would be the safety that the car would be capable of.
The first reason behind my opinion is that it would be less cost effective in the long run which means that over time, you will get your money back from the car. The manufacturers have thought of a way to allow the car to drive and think for itself and allowing the driver to relax until they get notified that they should take control. Cars that are smarter will allow you to save more money and cost less mechanically, as well as save on fuel.
Secondly, would be sensors and displays in the car that allow you to focus on the task at hand when you are driving. Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW project manager driver said, "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way." In the car that he is overseeing, it uses heads-up displays and information systems that will notify you of an accident ahead or a roadblock that calls for a detour. The displays can be automatically turned off which is something not available to drivers who are texting and driving. Another detail would be that of manufacturers consideration of using cameras to watch the driver to make sure that the driver is paying attention if he or she needs to take control of the car. If the driver is paying attention to the road, then he will not need to be notified and or have the company of that car be notified. It allows the driver to pay closer attention to the road and not his surroundings.
Lastly would be that of safety. Safety is a number one priority in cars and in life as a whole. If your car is safer to drive on the highway, it will reduce the cause of accidents and save you and others around you money. That is why manufacturers are considering using displays that will automatically turn themselves off so that the driver does not get distracted behind the wheel and cause a serious accident. GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object, which would then notify the driver that they are too close to an object and that they should stop immediately and look at their surroundings. All of the little gadgets that are put into this car as well as other cars, are allowing the driver to pay better attention to the road and the objects around him. Cars are getting smarter by the year which is reducing the number of accidents per day. Which is why driverless cars are a must for safety.
The reasons stated above show how and why that driverless cars are a must for everyday life as we know it. They save you money by not having to pay so much for gas everytime you have to fill up. The car is being driver by the hardware that is inside of it and it will notifiy if you need to take over and steer. The last reason is safety. If the car is not safe, it should not be on the road. Driverless cars are allowing the driver to pay closer attention to the road as well as what is happening around him better than if he had all the lights in his face and his phone placed in the cup holder or in his lap. The driverless car is being developing to become something greater and more useful for everyday human life. This shows how and why driverless cars are a must for everyday life and why I agree with the developement and manufacturing of these cars. | 45

a82dbe9 | Driverless cars are the future for the world. There is a need for driverless cars that is slowly being filled by prominent car manufacturers. Although the government makes assumptions that there is no safe car without a human driver, the steps being taken towards a future with driverless cars are showing a different alternative to human drivers.
Many of these driverless cars still require a form of human drivers to guide vehicles through special situations such as road blocks or work zones however, there are now many driverless vehicles that can transport a passenger without any problems. As these vehicles become more popular, affordable, and practical in everyday life it will cause a change in the driver laws for human controlled and driverless cars. With projected release dates for these modern vehicles approaching so fast it is now time for us to begin thinking about the future. Driverless cars are the future.
There is a future for driverless cars and that future is now. Driverless cars have the ability to change lives positively and remove many of the dangerous actions we face now in driving. There will be no more fear of texting and driving or an adult not being able to focus on the road while checking their child. No more fear of drunk drivers or operators under the influence. Driverless cars are more important to the safety of our country than many realize.
So let's begin to take the initiative to bring driverless cars to the forefront of technology and make these technologies accessible to the public. There is a great need for these products that must be filled as soon as possible. Driverless cars are the future and that future is now the present. | 23

ce37922 | I would claim for the value of using this technology to read students' emotional expressions. i would like to help students with their problems like anger depresson and what ever they have. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) would help with students' emotions. This software could indentify any emotion you have and the face exprestions you have and it would calculate ever days feeling.
First, it would indentify any emotion you have. Just like Mona Lisa they found out that she was eighty-three percent happy, nine percent disgusted, six percent fearful, and two percent angry. "The facial expressiions for each emotion are universal,"abserves Dr. Huang, "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression"(like not smiling as broadly). Dr. Huang used video imagery, and tracked the new emotion-recognition software and the facial movements. In the real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa. the software can even identify mixed emotions (as in da Vinci's masterpiece) by weighting the different units in every expression is against a neutral face (showing no emotion)"
Finally, calculating your emotions. Are you asking yourself if the software can calculate emotiond like math homework? This process begins with the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face. The forty-four muscles in the modle mus move like human muscles. Dr. pual Ecjman has classified some basic emotions like happiness, surprise, anger, digust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with chracteristic movements of the facial muscles. An example they give is, "Your frontalis muscles (above your eyes) raises your eyebrows when youre surprised; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger." Its pretty intrusting how it can determined your emotions.
My conclusion is that the technology to the software would be a great thing to use because it would helpin so many emotions and it would help students in so many ways. I think its intrusting in how Dr. Eckman invented the FACS and can determined in how students feel. | 12

6fc893c | Autonimous cars are a reality. Corporations such as Google, General Motors, and enigineers at Berkley have all created, to a certain extent, autonimous vehicles. A few more companies including Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan have announced their plans to have autonimous vehicles by 2020. But are autonimous vehicles really the best? Who would be responsible for crashes? Will they be as safe as regullar vehicles? Will they be able to be hacked? Even though the autonimous car is possible is it really safe?
First, how would autonimous vehicles respond to a wreck? It is clearly stated in paragraph 7 "but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills". So what happens in the event of a crash? One car wrecks and it causes a huge domino effect. One car after another, pile up because they do not know how to deal with the situation.
Second, in the event of a wreck who is responsible? The owner of the vehicle or the manufacturer? While the vehicle does belong to the owner and he did know about potential problems, the manufacturer should be able to deliver a completely safe vehicle to a customer.
That brings me to another issue. No one can confrim 100% that an autonimous vehicle will not wreck. There wil alway be human error in the manufactoring process. Now you might say; but they will be assembled by robots, so there wont be any human error. Well: who assembled the robots, who programmed them? Humans did, thus introducing human error into the problem.
Another thing to be worried about is terrorism. Will these cars be able to be hacked? A terrorist could hack into an autonimous vehicle and use for whatever he desires. He could drive a bomb anywhere he wants. No place would be safe or out of rech of a terrorist.
As you can see there are many propposed problems with autonimous cars. Wrecks, responsibility, human error, and terrorism are just a few of them. The truth is that there will always be some sort of problem with autonimous cars. Glitches and human error willl make sure of that. The idea of a fully autonimous car is fascinating, but are they really the best for america? | 34

2fdb1d6 | New development for cars would be a great idea because the world is constantly changing. People who are developing new things like cars are making the world more advanced. It would be a great to have new technology so people can live easier.
In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author talks about both the pros and cons of having new devolopment for cars. They discuss types of cars that are newer, and how they could be better for the environment. Later the author talks about sensors. The author tells the readers that "within 10 years, those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers." That proves that even old technology can advance itself within short amounts of time.
New developments are amazing things that happen in this world because the smarter, and more advanced the world gets the easier people can live. Scientists should go beyond car and phone advancements, and move on to bigger subjects like finding more cures for diseases. Overall, new deveopments are a great idea, and should keep being pursued. | 12

people should join the program because people can learn how to love an animal that u have seen befor or not seen befor in your life. Or new Animals that are new thatpeople have never seen before Animals need to be feeded because without food they cant live for ever they can die . and their babys need to find food by themself.

f37af89 | Dear Senator,
I believe we should change the electoral college. In my opinion the electoral college is unfair. To begin with it reduces the amount of voters because the voters believe they don't have a say in the election. As Richard A. Ponser said "It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state-Democrats in Texas, or Republicans in California."In addition, we do not directly vote for the president, we vote for people who we believe will vote for the president. Also I don't think it is fair that if a candidate gets the majority vote he/she should recieve all of the votes from the state. I believe we should go to direct voting. Where we the people get to directly vote for the president and after the whole nation has voted we tally up the votes and see who got the most. This method would be best because people would prefer it more and it would make people believe they have a say in who becomes the president. In addition, it is better than the Electoral College because there is less room for errors and it will not be as unfair. In addition, it will make the candidates work harder to get votes and they will try to visit more of the states because if they know that if the majority of a state is democratic they believe they will easily win the votes from that state, but if it was direct voting they would go to these states to make sure they can get as many votes possible from it. Also another issue with the Electoral College is the picking of the electors. The picking of the electors could be bad because these electors could be bad people who get a lot of votes for one candidate but still pick the other one. To conclude I believe we should get rid of the Electoral College because it is an unfair voting system. Instead we should change to direct voting where every vote counts.
Sincerely,
Bobby | 23

7f8986b | Cars these days can cause a lot of accidents and pollution. This happens mostly because people are careless people. Accidents mostly happens to young teens. Why teens? Well they are immature and most of the dont care about what happens around them. So they will get drunk or use drugs that will mess with their senses and most likely get them involved in a car crash.
Self-driving cars can be very handy. But it will take some time before they come out and are avalible for the world to use. They have a lot of problems right now, but their are people working on it. I honestly like self-driving cars because there wont be as many people dying and there will also be less pollution. Instead of kids getting drunk and driving then crashing they can get a self-driving car and get home or where ever they need to go safely.
But there is a disadvantage to this also. The cost of the car will be very high. As the text states "Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors or the left rear wheel, rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotie radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor." The car is going to be very expensive. Not everyone has the money to buy it.
Eventually the price will come down. But it will take many years for that to happen. But it will happen, looking at the cars from the 1900's to now. People will buy the car for sure. The cars that used to exist are out of style for the modern days. Now everyone drives the newer versions or the cars. It can be expensive or very cheap, but I still support the self-driving cars. Like I said, they wont be cheap but the prices will drop. There will be less accidents and less pollution.
Cars have changed a lot over the years and they will keep changing. Prices will go up, or they will go down. Techonology is advancing and it will keep advancing. I like the idea of the self-driving car and hope it exists soon. | 23

aa96539 | Cars are very important to the life of a modern person. The car gets you where you need to go in the time that you want to go in. There are ways to limit car usage and still get your transportation to where you need to go. There are some advantages to not using cars all the time. One advantage is that if we stop using cars, then pollution will drop drastically. Another advantage to us not using cars is that we get plenty of excercise while we do other things than just sit in our cars.
Paris, France. Known for being the city of love, but doesn't have a certain love for cars. They banned car usage after days of near-record pollution(source 2 paragraph 10). In order to make sure that the residents don't use their cars still the placed a 22-euro fine ($31) for anyone still driving(source 2 paragraph 11). After only just a few days, congestion was down almost 60 percent in the capital of France( source 2 paragraph 14). In the United States, most kids these days aren't driving as much as they used to. They are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses each year( source 4 paragraph 29). If this keeps up, then alot of sociologist think that this will have a huge effect on the environmet, which will lead to the end of pollution problems(source 4 paragraph 34). This advantage of having less car usage will not only help the earth, but it also will help the things on the earth including us humans and animals.
The final advantage that limiting car usage is that we will have plenty of excercise. A mother of two that had a car but the sold it in Germany said " When i had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way"(source 1 paragraph 3). She usually walks down the street to and from wherever she goes. Excercising is great for your health and you can just start by walking, biking, skating, roller blading and many more ways to get to where you need to go. In Bogota, Columbia millions of people hiked , biked, skated, or took buses to work (source 3 paragraph 20). "It's good oppurtunity to take away stress..." (source 3 paragraph 24) said businessman Carlos Artura Plaze when he was asked about the banning of cars for the third straight year in Germany( source 3 paragraph 24). Stress isn't good for your health and excercising is great on removing that stress from your body. Excersisng is a great advantage to limited car usage because you reduce stress, work out, and feel better all while you get to where you need to go at the same time.
The advantages that everyone gets from limited car usage is that the pollution will go down, and you get better excercise. If pollution goes down then you will have a better earth for everyone to enjoy, but you can't enjoy the earth if it's congested with polutted air. You also get great excercise when you walk, bike, skate to wherever you need to go instead of sitting in a car to go to your destination. These are only some of the advantages that you get when you choose to limit your car usage, but there are plenty more that you will experience as soon as you limit the usage of cars. | 34

391f6fa | Dear Mr.Senator,
I have decided to contact you today to inform you on my oppinion of the nation's Electoral College and why we should remove it from our federal government. I write to you with all do respect and do not intend to offend you in any way shape or form. I hope that you might agree with my opinion and speak out oppond it and if you do not agree with it, I hope you respect it.
To start off, he people of this country have fought very hard for the rights of all people to have the freedom to vote so, why should we have our citizens be negleted to have the president we want? Keeping the Electoral college is restraining us to have the president that the majority of Americans have voted for and many people think it should stop.When going into voting many Americans know that when we vote for a president that we also vote for a slate of electors so, why did election of John Kerry and George W. Bush go wrong? If many citizens voted for John Kerry, why did George Bush win the election? Obviously, the Electoral College did not go through on what they were suppose to do. It feels like electors took advantage of their position and decided for a president that many of us did not want. When did the government start deciding who would be our president and who wouldn't be our president? Isn't that reason why this country was founded under freedom, because the government was taking advantage of the people and deciding who our president was going to be?
I also believe that the government should give us a chance to decide whether we should keep the Electoral College or not. As shown in the second article, The Indefensible Electoral College, a poll taken in the year 2000 showed that 60 percent of voters rather have a more direct election.
The Electoral College also makes voting more confusing, it's very stressful to have your vote seem to mean nothing or very little.
I do not only think that the Electoral College is just something terrible but it also has some pros to it also. I believe it is good to also have an opinion of people who are some way apart of the U.S. government to vote to see a different point of view. The person who has the majority of popular votes might not always be the right president for the current place and time the country. It is also good that smaller populated states mean more than larger populated states.
I hope that someday that when the younger generation does grow that we fix the problems that are found in the ferderal government and always give this country the president that we want. Mr.Senator, I hoped that you liked my arguement and it change something, even a bit. I hope you have a nice day, week, month, and year. Goodbye.
-Sincerely, PROPER_NAME | 23

ba2fb55 | The author suggested to study planet Venus becuase it's a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author claimed that the planet is so inhospitable because of the temperatures and the pressure. But he also says that's the reason for NASA not sending people to there for three decades. He also claims that we could use our technology to stand against the pressure and temperatures.
He says that Venus is our planet twin, it's the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and sometimes the closest one in distance too. But it has the most unwelcomeing live standers, from almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets in the atmosphere to even more challenging of highly corrosive sulfuric acid. The temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and 90 times greater pressure than Earth that absolutly crush any living thing. It's the hottest planet in our solar system.
He also claims that humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on planet. No spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. This explains why no spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. He also said a
" numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us."
NASA had a solution which is floating above the fray but he says " scientist seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. 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 about three weeks in such a condition. Scientist are seeking and devolping new ways to study and go to Venus.
In conclusion Venus is our planet twin in many ways but the harsh conditions in there made it imposible for now to go there. The temperatures and the pressure in there are very high. That's why we haven't went there for a long time. He also says that there some ways to study the planet like by flying over the planet but he says that we need to get up close and see what's it like in there. He also states that NASA has developed new technology that would survive over there for about three weeks. He also said we could use our old technology to make this study happen. | 23

According to some new computer software that can reconize emotion the sofware is the latest innovation from prof. Thomas Huang, of the beckman institute for advanced science at the unversity of amsterdam. The process begins when the computar constructs a 3-D computar model of the face: All 44 mayjor muscles in the model must move like human muscles movement of one or more muscles in the model is called an "action unit" then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologist, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS. Eckman has classified six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristics movements of the facial muscle. I think i like the new technology that the person invented it can detect your emotins and feelings. And i doubt others can invent something like that | 01

a6ac854 | I believe that more people should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. There are many reasons to do so and claims too. Some may not agree, but they should know that joining this can be very helpful to people around the world.
One reason people should join is because they get to see the world over. You can look at many different landmarks different while helping people at same time. I know that if you join this program you have many responsibilities, but you will have time to look around at least see the sights. Luke Bomberger, a man who joined the
Seagoing Cowboys, was able to go see many Europe and China such as the Acropolis in Greece, Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water, an excavated castle in Crete, and Panama Canal on his way to China.
Another reason why you should join is because you'll usually never be bored. There will always be something to do on the ship. Going back to Luke Bomberger, he stated that he fun on ship after animals were unloaded. They played baseball and volleyball in empty holds were animals used to be. They also did table-tenis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and other games as well.
Final reason to reason to join is you'll be helping many people who are in need. If don't know already, many people in different countries don't the items need for survival, and they need them desprately. As a Seagoing Cowboy you'll be providing them many animals that can give them those items.
In conclusion,more people should join the Seagoing Cowboys. You'll be able to travel around the world, you'll be able to find fun, and help people in need. Becoming a Seagoing Cowboy will be a good choice in your life. | 23

da81c33 | The face on Mars is just a natural landform because it states in the text that the only reason the rock looks like a face is because it has shadows from the sun, and in this case the shadows give the "face" eyes, mouth, and a nose.
Yes even though there have sightings of UFO's or ( Unidentified Flying Object) the conspiracy theorists say that this face is an alien artifact but it states that the only reason why they say it is a feace is so more people are attracted to Mars.
The landform int a real face because if you compare the "face" to an Earth rock in that shape they would look the same, until you add some light from the sun causing shadows, and it would include the facial parts of any human man or woman.
As you see from paragraph 3 you will see that it states in the last sentence " The author's reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." Although, it did the scientist thought that tehy have accomplished something huge by tricking people into thinking it was a huge head.
In my conclusion, these are the reasones that the natural landform is not a face. | 12

1ecaf51 | We all know that driving makes life easier in terms of getting from point A to point B, but there are also many benefits that come from not driving or maybe not even owning a car. Not driving proves to affect the community in a positive way such as: less polluted air, happier people, and less congestion on the roads.
A study in Paris showed that the less drivers there are on the roads, the less smog there is in the air. France uses diesel and they tend to have more smog than "other European capitals" (par.17) who use gasoline. So by cutting the amount of drivers on the road, it also cut the amount of smog in the air. People used the roads less due to the amount of smog in the air and when there were less poeple on the road, there was also less pollution in the air, making for clearer skies. Also, in the United states, the percentage of people getting their licenses and of those who own cars has gone down in recent years. "If the pattern persists... it will have beneficial implications for carbon emmisions and the enviornment" (par. 34). Just like in Paris, the fewer people driving, the better our enviornment gets as the years go on. Alternatives to driving could be walking, using "public transportation", or biking to get to the places we need to go. These alternatives can help us "save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety" (par. 43) which are not only beneficial to us, but to our enviornment as well.
In Germany, there are certain places where you are not permitted to own a car and if you do, you have to pay $40,000 to be able to park it in a garage along with the payment of your house. Obviously, not many people are going to want to pay that much money, so they get rid of their cars in order to live in those parts of town. Not owning a car can even reduce the stress levels of some poeple and make them happier in the long run. A "mother of two" stated "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" (par. 3). So maybe this whole not owning a car thing is not only good for the enviornment around us, but also for our physical and mental well being. Sure, driving is nice, but it can be very stressful when having to deal with all the careless drivers around us and all the rules and responsibilities that driving entails.
Not only will less driving improve our enviornment, it will also result in less congested roads. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog" (par. 14). No one likes having a polluted enviornment around them, and the more pollution there is, the less crowded roads will be. The clearer the roads are, the clearer the skies around us are. In conclusion, driving does have its benefits, but not driving has even more, such as: the ability to keep our enviornment healthy and clean, less congestion on the roads, and happier people all around. | 34

93187ee | Am I for or against the development of driverless cars? I am completely for the development of driverless cars. I am for the driverless cars because it would help a lot with accidents involving texting and driving, with drunk driving, and with falling asleep while driving. Am I for or against the development of driverless cars?
I am for driverless cars because it would help a lot with accidents involving texting and driving. Texting and driving wouldn't be as much of a problem if the driver is not actually driving the car themselves. Being distracted from the road and texting people wouldn't cause an accident if a car was driving itself. In the article it mentions things about the cars that they test drive inproving in great amounts over the years. In paragraph 5 it says, 'Within 10 years, those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers.' The cars become smarter and more advanced as there years go on, just like technology. Am I for or against the development of driverless cars?
Drunk driving wouldn't be as much as an issue with these cars. A lot of the time when someone goes out and gets drunk they have to have a chaperone who won't drink to drive them home. Sometimes they can't find one, and live too far to walk so they just make the decision to drive themselves home, which is never ever smart. If they make that decision then car wrecks can happen and people can get majorly hurt, even killed. But this car can be like the chaperone; cars obviously can't get drunk. You can trust this car to safely take you home. Am I for or against the development of driverless cars?
Another issue that would kind of be solved with these cars is falling asleep while you're driving. Falling asleep while driving is very dangerous, and can hurt so many people. Everytime that my dad is driving at night, I am always on high alert watching him and making sure he doesn't fall asleep, because it's happened before. Luckily, no one got hurt but we so easily could have been. With driverless cars, this wouldn't be a problem. If you fall asleep behind the wheel, big deal; you are not driving the car. In the passage it does say that some cars alert you when there is a problem that the car can't handle, but the car can always wake you up. And it's a lot safer than falling asleep in anormal car and driving off the road or hitting someone else because you, nor anybody else, has control over the car. Am I for or against the development of driverless cars?
Am I for or against the development of driverless cars? I am completely for it. I am for the driverless cars because it would help a lot with accidents involving texting and driving, drunk driving, and with falling asleep while driving.

e57f0b9 | For centuries, man has been fascinated by the stars in the sky. From the earliest civilizations, people looked to the skies for answers. They worshipped the flaming sun and glowing moon. Later, this worship subsided, and looking to the skies took on a more scientific pursuit. Now, man has come to a time where they can visit the stars and planets. The author does not make Venus sound like a worthy pursuit, because the author is basing the article on the assmption that people should visit Venus.
The author gives three reasons for visiting Venus, and that is Venus is sometimes "our nearest option for planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel". Exploring Venus would help us learn more about the planet (paragraph 8) and encourage us to explore other intimidating areas (also paragraph 8). However, the last two reasons are tagged on at the very end, with little elaboration or mention in the essay. Furthermore the second reasoning is vague reasoning. The author should have used specific reasons instead of the umbrella phrase, such as learning why Venus has changed so much since their theoretical ocean covered past. Some of these can be inferred, but it's better to assume the reader knows nothing than expect them to know everything.
The other problem with this argument is the assumption that people would make a planetary visit. Save for the feel of adventure (and that would likely not make a profit based on the billions poured into these endeavors), the other reason a person would visit another planet is if they made their own planet inhospitable. It would be preferable if the government used some of the money given to NASA on projects relating to the Earth. For example, they could spend money on more efficient, sanitary, moral, and less pollutive techniques concerning meat production. They could spend some of the money on making cheap, biodegradable containers and utensils. They could use the money to subsidize fruit costs (they already do so for meat).
It would be nice if the government invested more money in figuring out how to get rid of the ring of trash around our atmosphere (from various space missions) before launching anything else.
The author does not make Venus sound like a worthy pursuit, because the author is basing the article on the single assumption that people should visit Venus. Though it is understandable that many would find fascination with expoloring beyond he outer realms of what is known, I don't think so much money should be poured into these endeavors. Much of Earth's polluting can be remedied, if the government put more money and effort into this. | 34

d5f4814 | In this article "making Mona Lisa Smile", it talks about a computer technology that can tell your emotions. Having a computer be able to tell your emotions would be pretty interesting right? Or would it just be creepy? If we fully develop computer programs that can tell our emotions and make something interesting based on our emotions like it states in paragraph 6. If the lesson we are learning in school changed based on our emotions do you think students would learn more? I do.
If we had lessons in school based on our emotions and how we felt about the subject; the computer could reconize if we were into the lesson or not. If we could have this technology and our lessons changed in a way that could make students want to learn a subject that on a daily basis made them want to fall asleep in the class or they just could not find a way to get themselves interested, the computer could change that for them. This technology could be very useful for our upcoming generations. People already know that we are slowly going to become more of a digital world so if we had these programs set up for kids to go their own pace and learn things that intrest them we could have shorter school days and more time for children to be kids and have fun in their life.
There is a large population of students who choose not to come to school every day because school makes them unhappy or they just hate some of their classes because they know the job they want when they are older not everything they are learning is going to be needed in the outside world. If this technology could help us show what emotions we had towards different subjects then maybe it would help teachers understand how to teach their students the information in a way it wont go in one ear and out the other.
There are going to be people who disagree with this new technology becoming part of life, because they might not want the technology we have now. There will always be someone who is not happy with the way life around them is going because of technology and sometimes technology does fail us. Technology can shut down. Technology can make things we have worked hard for disappear in one second and we won't have all of our hard work anymore so what was once hard work in a second can become wasteful material.
Although there are people who are going to disagree with this technology and maybe spread rumors that it is faulty, we need this technology to help us better understand the world around us. Say a cop was trying to figure out a murder or suicide, if we had the technology to figure out what emotions they show it could tell us if they were murdered or if they commited suicide. This technology could really help us advance in life and learn how to understand things from new perspective.
This technology could be believed to improve our society and the way we learn, the way we educate our children, and the way we have an output on life itself. This technology could be a new meaning for life. It could make students learn to lie school. It could help us understand what is going on in someones life. It could maybe even help us solve crimes. Of course there is going to be people who will fight against this new technology but if we stick to it one day the technology can help us understand why these people are against it. | 45

92eeb85 | "The Cowboy Program"
This isn't just any type of cowboy program, this is a cowboy who rode the waves. I think it would be good for kids to come helpout at this program. It can make you smart and learn about things you might not know.
This boy named Luke went with his best friend. His life totally changed. I'm now going to tell you why you should come. What they did their was they helped people. The boy boys played fun games like, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling. They did that to help pass time.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy was much of an adventure. Now here are some places they went that I think you might like. It took the group two weeks to travel across the Alantic ocean. They went to China which took a month. Also the program went to Greece to get their Military service. For World War ll in 1945, they went to Europe.
Now I'm going to tell you things they did to help out that you might like to do, if you like to do chores. Luke served as a night watchman. Also he went and checked on the animals every hour. Also to keep Luke busy about the animals is they had to be fed or watered two or three times a day. Another thing is bales of hay and bag of oats had to be pulled up from the lower holds of the ship. The stalls also had to be cleaned.
Lastly I'm going to tell you why Luke went on this ship and why you might want to. Luke went on this trip because he wanted to help out is best friend. Also he knew it was possibly the only chance he would ever get to get to go. Another reason is Luke thought it might be good work him. I think he also went on this trip to help out 44 other countries to recover their items. This was a very important job and Luke did a good job. I bet if you tried this, you would too.
Do you think you would ever want to go on this trip? I would, it sounds like you have to do work, but you still can have a lot of fun with the trip. I think it is also important to help out with other things. Maybe some day you should try this some day if you ever get the opportunity. | 23

781b2d3 | Driveless cars would change the world because, There would be less crashes, they wourld use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. Driveless cars 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.
The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on indiviual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manange alone. Further 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.
Telsa has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive by themselves by 2020. Automakers are continuing their
work on the assumption that the problems will be solved.The road to the truly autonomous car stretches on ahead of us, but we grow closer to the destination every day. | 23

3c4777e | " The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is a list of facts, reasons, and statements about Venus. The author believes that exploring Venus would be a good idea. He talks about how " Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life". That would be the closest thing to Earth in our solar sytem that we may be able to explore.
Now the challenges of exploring Venus are that there is a constant temperature of around 800 degrees Fahrenheit always on the surface of the planet. There are clouds covering Venus that have high amount of sulfuric acid in them, the planets surface is covered in 97 percent carbon dioxide. If we want to explore this planet we're going to need to find materials that can withstand those horrible conditions. The last recorded spacecraft on Venus only lasted 3 hours. Despite the dangers that come with all of this planet, if we could find a way to explore this planet safely and get gas and rock samples that could tell us a lot about this planets past and if it was similiar to Earth. The technology that we need to explore this planet with we are still yet to find a perfect solution to, we are chipping away at it slowly and finding new ideas that could get us there eventually. This new material that is made out of silicon carbide has been tested in the chamber and has lasted three weeks in conditions like Venus's, That is just getting one step closer to something that could last a long time on the surface of that planet. The harsh temperatures and gases are something that a human can survive through but we need our technology to get through it too. We've used electronic computers in space travel since they would have been able to be used in spacecrafts. The idea is to use a older device that runs off of gears and bearings that can with stand the elements because electronic computers are so delicate they wouldn't last very long in those enviroments. If we are able to find materials that can last long enough to try and get samples that would be our best bet, our first idea is to stay at around 30 miles above the surface of the planet. Temperatures would still be around 170 degrees Fahrenheit but we have materials that can withstand those temps. Since the surface of Venus is so cloudy our photograpy methods won't work to really see the surface of that planet. We need to find all the materials and new technology before trying to do something that we havent been able to do successfully yet.
I think that looking at everything we want to accomplish with Venus as a many many steps so we can accomplish it succesfully and be prepared for anything that were to come at us in a mission. I do believe that with the right amount of thought, time, innovation, and energy put into this that it could be something that would be accomplishable. Having the technology to be able to land on Venus and take gas, rock, and sediment samples we can learn a lot about the planets past and maybe find something new. I do not believe that this idea is farfetched i believe that it is something accomplishable. | 23

cd1bcfa | From day one, the human race expresses emotion using non-verbal bodylanguage.
Other people can tell if you are happy or sad based on the way you present your body postion and face.
Modern day technology has made it possible for computers to interpret someones emotion based on their facial expression.
This technology could be used in a classroom and can work to help boost moral, keep the student more interested, and help the teacher relay a positive attitude to reproduce in their students.
Some days, when students go to school, they didn't get enough sleep, get a energetic breakfast, or are just simply not having a good day.
With this new Facial Action Coding System, teachers and other faculty in a school will be able to analyze what they can do to boost moral in the classroom.
If the teacher does a fun activity and the technology tells the teacher that the expressions on the students faces were happy, the teachers will know to do that activity to boost moral.
The technology will also be able to tell when the student does not enjoy the activity or experience, and the teacher can work on how to approach it differently the next time.
The teacher will get accurate results on how the students are feeling, which sometimes can be faked.
According to the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile", smiles that don't use the obicularis oculi pars palpabraeus, or the muscles that make the crow's feet around your eyes, are not a genuine smile.
From this data a teacher can pull out who is fakeing, and who is not.
There are some subjects in school that students are just not interested in.
The teachers try different approaches, but sometimes nothing seems to work.
The Facial Action Coding System enables computers to detect what kids are interested in and what are not.
The article gives an example of if a computer ad pops on the screen and the reader smiles, then a similar one will appear the next time.
If the reader doesn't smile, an ad not as similar will pop up next time.
This tactic can be used in the classroom.
The computer can observe how a student reacts to playing a educational game, and pass on the information to the teacher.
If the game doesn't interest the student, the teacher needs to make improvements or find a new one.
If the student is interested, the teacher now knows that they can use it and it will be effective.
Some teachers have problems with how their students are reacting to their teaching, and find that it is how they present themselves.
If a teacher is boring, unorganized, and inequipped, the class will respond with a bored attitude.
On the flip side, if a teacher comes to class energetic, engaged, and prepared, the students will respond with a happier, more engaged, and often be more interested in the topic.
The phrase "you fake it 'till you make it" applies to this situation.
A drama coach, by the name of Constantin Stanislavsky, tought his actors how to carefully reproduce smiling and frowning based on the emotions that they presented on stage.
Teachers can use these methods in their classrooms to keep their students engaged and become interested in the topic even if the topic has nothing interesting about it at all.
Studies show that even if you force a smile, you will feel happier.
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile", the author describes how a new technolgy called Facial Action Coding System enables computer to identify human emotions.
Humans can usally identify small things in their friends faces, but nothing to the degree that this new software has in store.
Using this software in computers in the classroom could mean that teachers could improve moral, keep students more interested and engaged, and reproduce positive attitudes and emotions. | 34

0f89327 | How do you feel about driverless cars? What do you think theyll be like for you in the future? Are they better than cars that have to be personally operated by the human? Well, they named a few good and a few bad things that would come with the driverless car. They told how you will still have to keep focus on the road in the driverless car because it will need to be hand driven when it comes to work roads and accidents that have happened or even traffic jams. THe good things they said about it would probably be, that it is sensored so you dont hit nothing or it tells you when something is wrong and where your far is at and how its driving itself.
The things that are good about the driverless car would be, it could drive itself, you could relax and chill while its taking you where you need to go. Also, its good because it has all these sensors in the car that it can tell when to brake, or when to slow down. This could be a good thing kind of , when it is driving itself you should always be prepared to take over. But it said in the article " While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver." So if they ever got into a car accident they could probably go back and look at the cameras too see what the driver was doing and how they crashed.
The things that are bad could be that whenever the car wants to go down the company could shut your engine off at any tme and at any place. Whether its still driverless or not you still have to pay attention so you might as well just stick with the divers car. the other bad thing could be your car can decide when to brake and that could be at any point and you could brake at the wrong time and someone could hit you. One bad thing that could also be good is the sensors , sometimes they could go out and your car could start messing up.
In my opinion i think driver cars are better because there is so much that could go wrong with the driverless car. Like the car going out and the sensors messing up and you just break down and you wouldnt know how else to fix it, because it has so much technology. But with driver cars you can know when there is a porblem, you know when and where you need to fix things under the hood or on the car in general. The driver cars are better i hink because the person in the car should always have their eyes on the road. If we have driverless cars what was the point in the drivers licence and permit if the cars will drive us? you know ?
With a drivers car where you have a person driving 24/7 you know how to operate the car. You know how to change the oil or how to change the breaks so they dont go out and you get in a wreck. I mean yeah you could do something wrong with the car and it mess up but im sure if you're working on a car you have done it before. But drivers cars you dont have to worry about the engine reducing power on you, you just fill the car with gas and your good. But driver ccars you gotta worry about the car breaking down etc.
But there are always to fix your broken down car unlike you can with driverless cars.
So if i had to choose any car whther it was drivers or dirverless, I think i would go with the drivers car. Because , for the fact i know i could trust the car and i could have the car checked to see if its good for running and driving unlike you could with the driverless car. The driverless car could be good for so long then something bad could happen and you not know what was wrong with it. So if i had to get a car of my choice between drivers and driverless i would most definitely choose drivers. | 23

daad9d6 | Have you ever wanted a much more cooler and not so boring teacher? The
use of the facial action coding system to read the emotional expressions of
students is very valuable because it can helo teachers understand how a
student is feeling and possibly what causes them to feel the way they are. Having
FACS can also help because if a student comes to class because of a bad day
the teacher can try to comfort them. If a student is bored this system will also help because maybe then a teacher will switch the topic and/or try to make it more fun for us students.
My second reason why FACS is also a valuable system is it may also help, or save marriages and relationships because if one of someone's partners isn't being expressive they can easily find out how he/she feel and find a way to solve it. The system might alos help bring more family and friends together as one and help each member communicate more better instead of arguing, being distant, or keeping quiet about something or someone.
My third reaon why FACS is a helpful system is human society won't have to walk around in public with a fake smile on their face, or try to be somone they're not. Human society may be more understandable of other people's feelings and think about what's on the inside of a person rather then what is showing on the outside.
In conclusion the Facial Action Coding System is a valuable system because it's very helpful when it comes to emotions, and it will help others who have trouble expressing themselves, or someone, or something. This system may help people have a better understanding of others, and why they might be acting a certain way. | 23

7bbd917 | The challenge of exploring venus is dangers is because going up to space would need a lot of time to get to venus.But in plus venus is a ever far places from earth and venus is almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets even more challenging are the clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atmosphere.
But now nasa has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study venus. And nasa is finding a possible solution to the hostile condition on the surface of venus would allow scientsts to float above the fray.
but now get more information about venus. Now we talking about getting up to venus but not thinking about
the temperatures would
rise at around 170 degrees farhrenheit . The air pressure would be close to that of sea level on earth and solar power would be plentiful and radiation and would not exceed earth levels that the dangers part about getting to venus.
however peering at venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limitedinsight on ground condition because most forms of light canot penetrate the dense atmosphere rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. More importantly. Reseachers cannot take samples of rock gas or anyhing else from a distance therefore scientists seeking to conduct a throught mission to understand venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. | 01

af44cce | The article 'The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is very convincing. The author had many great points and was also compairing Venus to Earth. Definitly will grab your attention. A really great con of exploring Venus is that it has many common things to Earth. In paragraph 2 it states that Venus is often referred to Earth as a twin. Also it states that Venus is the second planet in our solar system. Another con why Venus is a great topic to explore is that if there was ever a time in a life time that we had to live in another world, Venus is the answer to that problem. In paragraph 5 it states that
NASA has particulary compelling ideas for sending humans to study Venus, but it the temperatures would be toasty at sorund 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Not easy conditiond, but survivable for humans.
Over alll I think we should continue reaseaching about Venus and exploring Venus, not only because it would help us humans learn more about our solar system, but it could be a new home for our community. | 12

22f1552 | the author article about studying venus is good. My opnion is that we should study Venus because that can be a good thing for us because if something goies wrong here maybe we can use Venus so we can go live over there. Its good that we should study it so they can see that needs to be done and we need to survive if we ever have to leave earth. I read in the article that is dangerous because they are lava and earthquakes and venus has the hottest surface temperature in any planet . i rad it on paragraph 3 line 10 " venus has the hottest surface termaperatures of any planet in out solar system". i read about the volcanos and eraquakes on paragraph 3 line 13 " erupting volcanos, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes".
they refer venus like " the earths twin" if they call me like that is for a reason maybe it can really be like the earth a place where humans can live there without a problem. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus> Its on paragraph 3 line 1 " A thick atmosphere of amost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus". the clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus atmosphere. Its on paragraph 3 line 3. So its really dangerous but if they want to study it its for a reason maybe there is things they are can do to fix it so it can be a good place where humans can live,
We should study Venus is a perfect oppurtunity for us to study new planets and see what we can do to have another safe planet. Its gonna be dangerous but i believe that we have the right tools and the right equiment to go over there and we have really good machines so they can work in there . | 12

a3f182d | To my state senator, i feel like you should keep the electoral college because it helps kids in college figure out how the election goes and for them to vote. " the electoral college process consists of 538 electors." the only way people can vote is when there 18 and thats not right i think 15 and up should be able to vote, i guess its the law how people gotta wait till there 18 to vote for presidents and senators and stuff like that. "under the 23rd amendment of the constitution, the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purpose of the electoral college". they should be able to use a popular vote to, if you be fair to one you gotta be fair to the other one.

3bc685b | There are lot of advantages of limiting car usage. Some people think its a hassel to keep up with a vehicles needs. You have to make sure the vehicle has good tires so if it rains or if it snows the tires will be able to ride through it. You also have to make sure the vehilcle has has gas to ne able to go where you ned to go. If you add the prices of keeping all that up also when there is othere expenses to add to the vehilcle, you would be paying a lot of money.
In this new experimental district, people have decided to give up there vehicle to see how they would do without there cars. This place is located in the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders. The name of this district is called Vauban. The streets of Vauban is completely free of cars. But downtown Freiburg and some streets on one edge oof the community, car owneship is allowed, but there are only two places to park. Larg garages at the edge of the development, where a car ownerbuys a space for $40,000, along with a home.
70% percent of Vaubans families do not own cars and 57% sold there cars to move in the Vauban community. Some people say is releaves stress . Heidrun Walter said, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way. She is a media trainer and a mother of two children. She likes to walk and hear the wandering children. Its nice to get some fresh air every once in a while. But for her, she gets everyday.
In 2006 Vauban was completed. It was an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States Of America wanted tosperate suburban life from auto use, as a componet of a movment called "Smart Planning." | 23

1eb708e | People should join the seagoing cowboys program because you get to go to nine different trip.
Also they give you a lot of supplis so you can take care of the animal good and so they don't run out of food.
another reason you should join is becuase some jods can be hard but some are easy like, just checking on the animals every hour that was lukes jod.
Some details from the article to support luke's claims in why you should join the seagoing cowboys program are seagoing cowboys are more than adventure for luke bomberger.
luke opened up a new world to him.
''I'm grateful for the opportunity.
also another claim is you can go to Europe luke couldn't say no.
He know it was an opportunity of a lifetme.
also being a seagoing cowboy means to take care of the horse, young cow, and mules that were shipped overseas luke and don signed up. luke bomberger said ''it made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs,''and awareness stayed with his family to a numder of international student and exchange visitors of many years. | 12

4456d26 | Cars have been by all means the number one way of transportation in the last decade and now people are starting to prefer walking or biking instead of driving everywhere. One of the reasons is pollution people all around the world are scared of the greenhouse effect but peole are moslty looking at the advantages in not driving If we dont drive the earth will be less polluted in the united states the number two cause in pollution is cars if we cut our driving in half we would be making our earth less polluted and more clean and also saving our ozone layer another reason that not driving isnt such a nad thing is you dont have to deal with the gas money everyone spends on there car well if you want to drive you have to put gas in it so it can go and sometimes the gas prices can be up there an if i gave my estimate i think people spend close 20,000 dollars in gas if your driving in your community of course im not talking about every person in the world just giving an estimate and that is alot of money if you save that much money in about 4 years you have your self a house or an apratment its a big difference spending all that money on gas then saving up for something you really want like a house apartment etc something else you dont have to deal with is the traffic that cars cause on the higway and sometimes in the community i know we all have been stuck in a horrible traffic jam and you cant do anything about it and we all think if only we could just walk ny everybody well the people that arnet driving and they are on the sidewalk yeah they can walk past it or they dont have to deal with the traffic jam another reason is a the accidents sometimes can be fatal to life and your checkbook and insurance now a days is through the roof another thing you have to worry about paying when your dealing with a car accidents take alot of lives every year i read a stat that every second there are three acidents i mean i dont know if its true but if it is that is flat out scary of course you never think it will happen to you but even the best drivers crash and when it does happen either your life is in danger or checkbook is thats another thing walkers and bikers dont have to worry about crashing and either being seriously injured or coughing thousnads of dollars of expensies or damages also have to worry about keeping your car in the shop every time you need an oil change or your tires are flat or transmisson isnt working right there can be a millon problems with your car and that all cost money waling to your destantion doesnt cost a cent and if your the person that likes to save every cent why throw it away when you throwing thousands and thousands of dollars every year on something youn quite francally dont need in your life if your destnation is to walk take the bus close enough so you can walk there that way you will be saving so much money that you'l be amazed at the end of the year when you have way more money than you had last year your going to look back and say wow i should never got a car so always keep in mind the next time you step in your car the worries you deal with every time you drive remember ypu have to fill up or your not going any where and always going to hurt your checkbook espiacally if your car gets 10 per a gallon another thing is the scare of the accident always looming in the dark you never know when you'll have but almost everyone is doomed to have one and those can be fatal to your body or checkbook and insureance for when it does happen is not pretty also those traffic jams are horrible and when you say aabout 50 peole all past you on the side walk and your stuck in that massive traffic jam you'll remeber this essay and say wow i should of been on that side walk and the last advantge you should know about is that while your not driving your not hurting everyones earth world air space etc your helping the earth get cleaner everytime you decide to walk instead pump up your gas tank and let off polluted gas off into the air and ulitamelty deplete the ozone i know that people will still be driving because again like i said its the number one way of transportation but the goal should be to atleast cut the driving rate in half that would help the earth in a major way and of course you would be alot richer by the end of the year so all that walking you did over the year you can rechoice over a nice vaction to the bahmamas or hawaii oe even buy yourself a nice house so you can see that dropping your car should of been a decison you did years ago and the earth will be a better place without your car driving around the streets so the next time your friend asks to come over just walk or the next time you need to just go get the groroices you can walk and one by one peole will stop driving and start helping making the earth a better cleaner safer place so you be the first one to drop driving and start walking and people will follow imsure of it and even if you have to explain the benfits so beit just know by doing those things you will acheive the goal of making the earth a better place without pollution and more ozone layer to protect from the dangerous uv light if you want a better future for your kid or grandchild its just not your earth your hurting its everybody else's including your loved ones all that money your spending buy your loved ones a gift. | 12

48f6ee6 | Dear Senator,
I believe that we should not keep the Electoral College because i feel as if it would be easier for people to vote somore people would actually vote. I know the Electoral College was established by our fouding fathers, but it is time to tart with something new and for something new to be established. I would honestly choose the popular vote because it also puts a suspence on people about who will win. The Electoral College may be widely regrded as an anachronism but when we vote we do not vote for a presidential candidate we're actually voting for slate electors. The college does not have a democratic pedigree which is another reason why we should use popular vote. When i vote i like to know as soon as possible and i feel as if we had popular vote it would be faster to do. Opinoins may not be taken inconcideration but my opinion is strong that we should use popular vote i really feel like more people would come to vote if we used that. People may feel like the Electoarl College is too long of a process so they just say oh i dont have to go vote so im not going to. The Electoral College avoids elections but without them how would we know about our future president and how would we know whether or not the person would do a good job at running our country? Overall i will stay with popular vote but if they choose not to do it that will not stop me from voting to choose who will run my country and do a good job at it! i know that whatever desicion is made was for the best intrest for our country.11 | 12

2d818b2 | It's a bird! No, it's a plane! No, it's a car! What would the world be like with driveless cars? Can you picture it? The world has been toying with this theory for some time now. In fact, the theory has already taken a course of action. For example, Google has had cars that could drive independently since 2009. Although driveless cars are a good factor, they do come with a certain amount of negative aspects. In my opinion, I think driveless cars are totally unneccesary.
One thing that proves they are is that they require so many sensors.
Instead of pitching the idea of smarter roads, manufacturers focused on the concept of smarter cars. Sensors give driveless cars the chance to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel. For example, Google's modified Toyota Pirus uses all sorts of gadgets but the most important one is the spinning sensor on the roof. This sensor enables laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings. Sensors are the "human form" to driveless cars. Why have all of this junk to mimic humans when you can just have a human behind the wheel?
Another example of why driveless cars are not needed is driveless cars aren't so driveless. Although technology has come a long way, human assistance is still mandantory.The cars can steer, brake themselves, and accerlate, but they are designed to alert the driver when the road ahead requires humanly assistance. For example, the car may alert when help is needed to go through work zones and around accidents. A human driver must be present and ready to take command when a situation presents itself.
Lastly, driveless cars use money uselessly.Some options under consideration are manufacturers using cameras to watch that the drivers are remaining focused on the road. Although I understand their end goal I do think this is overrated. Drivers should have their own privacy in their car. I think having cameras to watch the drivers like they are children is completley absord.
Driveless cars are a waste of time and money. Drivers are still needed to provide aid to the cars, and we are just wasting electronics and money. Although the idea of driveless cars is fun to dream about,they are simply not needed. I have to disagree with the develpment of these cars and say lets stick with what we have. | 34

0bbbed5 | Do you believe in aliens? I mean, do you honestly think that aliens are roaming around in our solar system? Some say yes, some say no. Do you believe that aliens created the Face of Mars? Let me tell you, they didn't. Aliens are not here & they didn't create this Face on Mars. Plenty of research is found to back it up too.
First, research has been concluded & done to prove that this is a natrual landform. In an article called 'Unmasking the Face on Mars' it states, "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web sit, revealing...a natrual landform. There was no alien monument after all." Websites aren't enough for some people though.
Next, this face on mars simulates some landforms on Earth. Therefore, it would be a natrual cause that happened. It states in the article of "Unmasking the Face on Mars", "What the picture actually shws is the Martian equivalent of a buttle or mesa-landforms common around the American West. 'It reminds me most of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.' says Gravin. 'That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa around the same height as the Face on Mars.'" By reading this, it is making it clear that this landform is somewhat common. It stated that landforms such as the Face on Mars is common around the American West. If it can happen on Earth, why can't it happen in outer space?
On the other side, the "Face on Mars" has attracted a lot of attention, especially in the social world. It states in the article of "Unmasking the Face on Mars", "The 'Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon. It starred in a Hollywood Film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows-even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years! Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars." People seem to think that they can believe everything they hear & see on television or on magazines or even in movies. Presenting us all with fake gossip & fake news is how these businesses get money. They know, one person will believe it, leading to thousands more. We tend to believe in the 'juicy' filled drama. Not everything you hear out in the world is true. I know, I'd rather believe real scientist, than businesses thirsty for money.
In conclusion, evidence from scientist (like me) from NASA is much for believable than Hollywood movies & headline magazines. There are no aliens. The Face of Mars just so happens to be a natrual landform. | 34

c4dd60a | A driverless car seems so cool and nobody would never have to really do anything. But, there are consequences that comes with that project. Well one if a person is going to buy one of those driverless would really have to think about it like do i really need it or what will happen while i have this car. A driverless is alright but what if the manufactures made it that the driver could still have control when ever they want. Without the car alerting them its time to take over whenever the driver gets tired of driving they would just hit a button and the will drive on its own.
What if the driver gets into a(n) accident? Who would pay for the damaged car because it wouldn't be right for the driver to pay. The manufactures were the ones who made the car. So, therefore they shoul have thought like if the car startsto not function right it is the vechiles fought not the driver. It wouldn't make sense for the driver to pay. The manufactures would really have to be the ones to apy for the damaged. If were the driver that had to pay they were the ones that wanted the car but on the other hand it's not the drivers fault for the carnot functioning right.
Why would anyone want to have a driverless car that still needs a driver. Wouldn't drivers get bored of just sitting there. What is the whole point of have a driverless car when the driver obvislously still needs to drive it. Then might as well is not have a driverlesss car. Having a driverless car is a very dangerous thing because not only would the car be movineon it's own but the driver would get distracted. either, by his/her phone or thier kids in the back not acting right. The driver would either text and drive. Also, thedriver would take anvantage of it like they could be drinking and driving because they are not controling the car.
So, honestly in my opinon it is not right to have a driverless car because of safety reasons and money situations as in the driver would have to pay because the car was not functioning right. And also texting and driving , drinking etc. | 12

bcdbf52 | This "face" that was found on mars couldn't have been a alien because there wouldn't just be one found, there would've been more. Also If you have read the article about the face it says in paragraph two " Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." So that quote states that the shadows are making it look like a human face.
On April 5, 1998 Mars Global Surveyor flew over to Cydonia and ended up getting a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. In paragraph seven where it says all the information it says " Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." so this means that after they went up to Cydonia they discovered it was just a natural landform, but people still doesn't want to believe it was just a rock that was shaped naturally, not by "aliens."
I understand how people think it is made by an alien because it looks so much like a human as you could see, you see a nose,eyes, and mouth which makes you think someone there had to create that, there is no way nature could just form a perfect looking human face like that. In paragraph twelve in the article it says "That's a lave dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars." That prooves that nature could create something like that. Plus it says that it was just shadows making it look like that.
That "face" is just another rock formed by nature and people just need to let it go. There is no aliens found or discovered up there so there is no way. And while they are giving that rock so much attention, they are just making the NASA people just more paid for the attention. That "Face" is just a rock with shadows making it look that way and nothing more. | 23
|
9d1af92 | There are many things up in Mars. Some , well many, that we do not even know about. Now many believe the face on Mars was created my aliens. But, how could it be so? Well, because it was not.
First of all how could have the aliens created an artifact. How they create it as a form of a face. It's not like aliens just have tools laying around and they sculpt when they are bored. It started to form over the years. The way it was forming and the shadows around it just made it look more of a face.
With all honesty do you not think if NASA was 100% sure this "face" was created by aliens they would've announced it? That would have been big proof that aliens do exist. After all scientists have been trying to look for any other life on other planets for over the years. So that just says NASA also sees it as just a natrual landform.
The face on Mars is became very popular. But not in the scientist type way. It has become a pop icon. It has starred in a Hollywood film,appeared in books, magazines,radio talk shows, even haunted grocery store checkout likes for 25 years. Peopl seem to find it interesting since they are talking and mentioning it alot. I am thinking they just seem to find it interesting that aliens might have created it.
I think it is safe to say that the face on Mars is just a natrual landform. NASA thinks that, so maybe we shoud too. After all they are scientist and part of NASA that knows all this. Later on I know that they will fnd other thing more evidence. People might have something new to believe. | 23

945518e | Developing driverless cars is an important part of the future of the automobile industry. Driverless cars will be safer and more reliable. Self drive cars are the cars of the future because, they can brake, accelerate and steer on their own.
Driverless cars being able to break and stop on their own would prevent car crashes from happening. This would save lives and prevent injury. The author states "the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better responce and control than a human driver could manage alone." This would allow cars to stop faster than humans could manage and to prevent cars from scidding and flipping. The author reffers to the advancements in the sensors that "make driving safer" would allow cars that can handle more tasks on their own.
Cars that accelerate on their own would prevent speeding, which is a risky driving habit. If a car is able to accelerate on it's own it would allow trafic to move smothly with little frustration. The author states that "The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph". This is a long way from driving on the interstate, however it can be done. The author atates that Sebastion Thrun belives " That technology has finnaly begun to catch up to the dream" If technology keeps advancing we could have self driving cars in decades.
Cars that can steer on their own would prevent a large portion of car crashes and other automobile accidents. This would save lives, The author states "but special sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." The driver would stil have the ability to have control of the car when neccasary. This way the driving experience is even safer. The author states "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" This would make the passing of the law to allow self driving cars tricky,however it can be done.
Self drive cars are the cars of the future because, they can brake, accelerate and steer on their own. This makes them safer and more reliable. This would save lives and prevent injuries which makes them the smart choice for cars in the future, Manufactures should focus on developing self driving cars for the good of the world. | 34

b2c56c9 | The technology and cars has made the developers to invest on cars. The cars have all change time by having something in common . The cars that have been used for this technology is made by google. Google its a company that has internet wireless and its a huge company that only makes technology better. The car that has been desing has many manifactures going on . When they build a the workers they all have their positions and if i would be able to work in this car my position would be the antolock brakes. The antilock brakes prevents the driver to fall out of there is an actsident. Also in the article says that having unshape cars its bad or even if there is something weird of something new they think is bad. My conclusion is that if you think that havind an unshaped car is bad or even if it looks weird dont think that its a bad car because technology its changing our daily lifes and how we see the un expected about it. | 01

b65e4ea | Citizens of the United States are getting lazier by the minute. It doesn't take alot to do the original duties as we do with cars today. I can understand people who don't like to do alot of stuff or are in a hurry for work, but there are negativities that come with driverless cars. I think we should stay with the cars we have today because there would be more laws created, new dangers could come, and because the cars that we use now would go to waste.
I know as a sophomore in high school, I am gonna start learning how to drive.
As I look in the booklets we have now about cars, there are alot of laws and things to know about driving. It is hard to study about driving knowing there could be driverless cars being invented that could bring new things to learn. It would be a waste of time learning about driving when driverless cars are being made.
Car accidents happen everyday around the world. Just imagine a world with driverless cars and incidents that would come. Teenagers would think it's all fun and games in a driverless car and think its alright to drink, smoke, do whatever and end up in an accident. If you think the cars we have now are bad, just wait and see about driverless cars, more accidents will follow.
Where would all the useless cars go? They can't all fit in a dump nor be able to be recycled. We need cars for daily adventures and new inventions of cars would put them all to waste. It's already hard enough for old residents to drive cars, they would have to learn about a new driving technique when they are so used to using our cars now.
Driverless cars are really not needed, there are more things far imprtant than new cars. We could be finding cures for diseases to save lives, but we focused on cars that could bring danger. The cars we have now are enough, we dont have to waste what we have. It is pointless to make new cars when people are already focusing on the laws that we already have about the cars today. Driveless cars are a waste of money, time, and interest. | 34

4c3e6ba | Limiting car usage will have many advantages. Not only will it reduce pollution ,but it will also incourage a more healthy lifestyle. Also limiting car usage may help ween us off of our dependence on foreign oil. Car usage has caused a lot of problems economically, environmentally, and physically for the United States.
To start off, car usage is very bad for our environment. The number one cause of air pollution in the U.S. is transportation. So, if we found a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly way of transportation that help a lot. One way would be to reduce car usage. It would be much better if once or twice a week people would ride their bike or walk to work or where ever they are going. I understand that some people live to far away from where ever they are going to ride a bike or walk ,but if you carpool with people who are also going to the same place you save on gas money and you will also be helping the environment.
In addition to helping the environment, limiting car usage will also promote a healthier life style. With the united state's obesity rates sky-rocketing we could use all the healthy lifestyle promoting we can get. By limiting car usage we can encourage people to walk and bike to where ever they are going. Which will influence people to add a little excersise into their daily routine.
Along with promoting a healthier lifestyle, limiting car usage can also help the U.S. withone major problem. Over the years the U.S. has had many great presidents,but almost all of them have promised the same thing, that they will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. But nothing has happened. I believe that limiting car usage will help us in reducing the United states' dependence on foreign oil because if we aren't driving our cars as often we won't need as much oil.
In conclusion, the advantages to limiting car usage are that it will reduce pollution, promote a healthier lifestyle, and it will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. So next time you go to drive your car just think, is it really that far? | 34

cd1df72 | I don't think I should be working with a bunch of cracked ribs guys. Oh shut up you are just tring to get out of work,said Jon. Luke spoke back saying,no I Iike this job. Theres no way you actilly like this job,theres just no way. As this arguement went on Rob was silantly siting there,not getting involved but then Luke asked him for backup. Luke is right, how would you feel Jon if someone was yelling at you for getting hurt,said Rob. Shut up,Rob don't you agree with me that it is not fair. Not fair? The mans ribs are shatered.
Shatered? His ribs were touched. Luke yelled at him if he wanted his ribs touched by him. Then Jon backed out scard but he did'ent give up. The reason Jon is doing it is because he thinks that Luke purpesly broke his ribs. You see Jon did'ent have a choice to come here because he was forced by his mom. His mom sent him because he would not move out of there house and she wanted him gone.
Jon dicided that he would go talk to the captin about it. The weird thing though is he did'ent tell them that are else they would come too. So he went to the captin telling him lies. The captin got really upset and went to talk to Luke. The captin was very angry now and he was just about to push Luke over bored but he did'ent because he would go to jail. When he reached Luke he yelled at him. Luke asked why. Wy are you yelling at me captin? You know exacily why I am yelling at you Luke. No I really don't.
I am yelling at you because you purpusely broke your ribs. Where did you get that from captin. Jon told me that he herd you say that to yourself. Look Jon told you lies because even if I did do that I don't talk to myself. You don't, yelled the captin. No,said Luke. Great now I have to talk to Jon. Im comeing too,said Luke. So they went to talk to Jon. They found him in the lounge. They walked up to him and started to talk.
The captin told him that he had giving false infomation. Jon talked back and said he is lieing and he really did do it on purpose. The captin ignored it. So Jon told them his story. The reason I thought he purposely did it was because I thought all the people here were forced to do this too. Luke told him that he joined with his friend because they thought it would be fun so they did it. After they did it once Luke wanted to do it again because he liked it so much. After they told each others storys they settiled there argument and became best friends. | 01

c76391f | We will be talking about The Challenge of Exploring Venus. And how it even got its name. It has another name for it called evening star. i heared that it's really dangerous though. Im about to give you some every important information you need to know w\about Venus/Evening Star.
The detailes that author gives you is incredible he tells you everything you need to know. The evidence is information like its referred to as Earth's twin. Venus is the closest planet to earth in terms density an size. Venus is out of a thick atmosphere of alomst 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets. Even NASA wants to send people to study the planet Venus.
NASA is working on other approaches to study Venus. He tells you everything you need to know about Venus. There devices they use were first envisioned in the 1800s. it sounds shocking but its true. If I was you if you want to learn more about it get into deeper articles about it.
The conclusion on this article is that Venus it a plant that should be study on or even looked at. Because you never know what you could find on that plant. They think it might have value into it an i think they are right. Just because it might be dangerous or even doubts on dying. Its ok to take resk on something that could or can change the world inot something different. | 12

d18a663 | When Luke first started the program he thought it was a opportunity of a lifetime. He knew it would be a good thing for a small-town boy like him. He wanted to be able to help out others and that program was an awesome way to do so.
He got to spend time with animals, got to play games occasionally, got to be helpful, got to see amazing sights, and got to see his friends. The program was an awesome way to do a lot of things. One example is how Luke got to tour an excavated castle in Crete. He also got to see Europe and China. That is unbelievable opportunity for a boy like him. Luke got to have fun by playing baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy can be an awesome adventure. A quote straight from Luke was,"I'm grateful for the opportunity. It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs." Another quote from Luke was,"The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy. Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special." That proves that even if you had to work you were still having the best time ever. The job as a Seagoing Cowboy is more than just hard work, and being miserable. You actually get to enjoy your time.
If you want to have a great job I'm sure all the Seagoing Cowboys will agree that you should be one of them. Yes, you do have to work hard, but that isn't a reason you shouldn't join. How many other jobs do you get to see amazing sights, or play volleyball and other games. As a Seagoing Cowboy you even get to help people out with their country and their needs. This is why I think you should be a Seagoing Cowboy, and I'm sure Luke agrees ,too. | 34

7aa9df6 | Dear, State Senator
I belive that in favoring of keeping the Electoral College.Therefore many people have different minds set if which they should have Electoral college. Here 's some background information stated in source 1 What Is The Electoral College "The Electoral College is a process not a place'." The founding fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise betwwen of the president by a vote in congress and the election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.'My reasons for this is because electoral college can be helpful,have people to rethink, and understandable.Many people thing of electoral college as torchure or even the wrong way to vote.Electoral college have different ways and similar ways from changing to the election by the popular for the president of United States.For example states in source one "The Electoral College consists of the 538 electors"."A Majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president." Now as you can see in my essay there particular things I would like to talk about.Pertaining about how can electoral college can be helpful in a different ways of changing the president vote.For example what might you think what would be helpful?Stated in source two people thinks "Under the electoral college sytem voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president". Now as you come to mind this particular information is not only talking about coloubia is talking about the electoral collge also.According To Source Three "And if an electoral tie seems unlikely,consider this:In 1968, a shift of just 41,971 votes would have deadlocked the election;In 1976,a tie would have occured if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way".People should rethink about their desicions before they pick and choose.According to source three "The Electoral Collge requires a presidential candidate to have transregional appeal.The Electora is widely regarded as an anachronis, a non-democratic method of selecting a presiendt hat ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes.There are many diffent aspects of Electoral College.
Most importantly electoral college is that it can be understandable.It can be understandable by allowing people to knowing the method of electoral college.According to resource one "Electoral College method is not democractic in a modern snese...it is the electors who elect the president not the president.
In conclusion I strongly I favor of Electoral College because its can be helpful and let people rethink about their decsion and understand the concept of voting for your president.
Sincerely,PROPER_NAME | 12

b9b3bdc | There have only been a few spacecrafts sent to Venus but none of them lasted long scientist are trying to figure out how to get a spacecraft to hover over the surface. The reason is to collect samples from there and then be able to make it back or have enough time to send the information the spacecraft got, back to NASA.
For example " Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcaneos, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface". We are having trouble getting the data back because the spacecraft it is getting destroyed.
It may be very expensive to attempt to get to Venus but it could give us some good insight on what we can research and study back at Earth. The stuff we find on Venus could be benefical to us going to different planets and exploring different parts of the Solar System.
In conclusion we shouldn't let money be a factor on if we get a spacecraft to Venus we just have to figure out how to safely get there and be able to gather the data from the spacecraft. If we do find something we will most likely go back and try to find more of it or more helpful resources. | 12

d71b7f8 | On earth people have gotten so comfortable in their skin but imagine being able to explore a different planet and see the similarites and differences. We would be able to understand a differnt planet and how it corilates to earth. Studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Venus is a worthy persuit because people can study Venus from the closes view and still surivive, trying to sciencefically figure out what Venus has on their planet and how it is like the earth, and lastly that machines to discover what is really happening on Venus despite the conditions.
Studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because people can discover what is happening on Venus and discover something new. The text states, " 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans"(Paragraph 5). The author is stating that there is a way that they can still discover what is really on the planet witout being on the planet to find out. Another reason it is a worthy persuite is because they want to study the planet to find out the similarites and differences. " The most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth"(Paragraph 4). This quote shows that they want to discover what is going on in Venus because they want to find out if it is really similiar or differnt to Earth. Lastly scientist are trying to make a machine that can withstand the the conditions on the planet Venus. The text states, " Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces"(Paragraph 7). The author shows that these machines are going to be able to withstand the weather and the atomoshpere with the right materials. Without the right materials it is not going to be able to stand on Venus and get information.
Learning about Venus and how it works is worth it depise the dangers it can bring on to it. People can survive seeing Venus by not being so close to the planet, study Venus to figure out the similarties and differences between the Earth, and lastly using machines that have proper material to study Venus in that condition. Venus could bring a lot of history towards us and figure out if its similar to the Earth like they are saying to end the investigation. | 23

f8fe1ca | I think the Facial Action Coding System is valuable. It also doesnt do any harm, so i think ther shouldnt be an agument on why they shouldnt event ths type of technology. Making these types of inventions can even be helpful not just for the Facil Action Coding system but to many other inventions. They are becoming more advanced in technology and are capable of developing more interesting inventions. Many students also some times have problems trying to fihure out what there feeling or to tell some one how they feel. I agree that the Facial Action coding System is valuable and ould be used for goods.
This technology can be used for many thing and in a very good way. For ecample like the author wrote in the article. They can make changes in many things by seeing the emotions in a sudents face. For example in some ones homwork, in a book there reading. By reading there face expresions they can use that technology for the good of a person. They can find new things and make changes. So the things that are boring or sad or anything that is making someone not be intirested in something make them more intiresting. In my opinion people that make stories or news papr aricles want there work to be seen and get many reviews. So by figuring out what some one is really intirested in is a good way know. Many people like new developments. If this type of work becomes more advanced it could be something good.
In my opinion i think its valuable. It does no harm to some one and it heps so some one could be under stood and helped. This technology could be used for many thing. Its also once more a new invention and helpful for many more. It also is a very intiresing in the way it works. Just because it was well diveloped to know how the human face works and the changes it makesevery time it has a diffirent expression. Thats why i think this development is very valuable. | 23

b45be45 | My reason to go on the trip was it would be an amazing experience. I loved the idea of going around the world.
I seemed to arrive in the places just as the wars were ending so it was good timing. I told people that it was a really good experience and I enjoyed my trip. I went to New Orleans,Greece,Italy,and China on my adventures of being a seagoing cowboy. I would really suggest being a seagoing cowboy expecially if you are someone who wants to travel or enjoys traveling. My argument to go is this could be a once ina lifetime offer like it was for me. If you get the oppurtunity i would really take. I know if i got offered again I would take it it's a really amazing way to see the world and experience other cultures.
It is always a good oppurtunity to experience new cultures and learn new things. You never know what you are going to like. Like some peole you might even end up living in another country because you enjoy their culture so much. There are also other things cultures have that you might like to try like foods and different ways of living. Many cultures have different lifestyles that you might like.
I really hope this convinced you to go ahead and go on the trip. This could be one more thing that you miss out on because you weren't willing to take a chance and experience new cultures. I really suggest going like I said I had a good time on my trip and really enjoyed it. | 23

b653a84 | Some people think that aliens created the Face on Mars. Do you belive that to? I think that The Face on Mars is a natural landform here is why. " The caption wrote huge rock formation" which would most likely mean a natural landform from what N.A.S.A. stated when they unveiled the photo of the rock formation. Also has not found any evidence of life on Mars to this day.
N.A.S.A. had also said "That if there were objects in this picture like airplanes, on the ground or Egyptian-style pyraminds or even small shacks, you could see what they were." Also in the pictures that are in the article ther are no signs of any homes or camps or signs of life.
This also proves the theory that it is a landform "what the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West which would mean that this is somthing similar to what we have seen on earth before. The Jet Propulsion Lab said " Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa.
Also if this was something created by aliens or an ancient civilization wouldn't it be deteroryating over time. From the rearch that NASA has done it seems that it has not changed at all over the past 25 years. So do you belive that aliens created The Face on Mars? I don't but mabye you do. | 23
|
bd72301 | Alien life on Mars seems a little out of this world. If they haven't made contact with us by now what are they doing? Some of the alien hopefulls say that there are some major signs like the Face on Mars. Well it's not a sign of any sort, because of some reliable research. This resaerch includes increadible images of it from spacecraft and that its simialr to natural formations on Earth. These reasons are why the Face on Mars is just natural, not alien made.
First of all, the Face on Mars was first discovered when the Viking 1 spacecraft took pictures over the Cyndonia region of Mars in 1976. The pictures looked like an ancient Egytian face but after studying them a group at the Jet Propulsion Lab said that it was only a common mesa with shadows that played tricks on your eyes. Then again in 1998 and 2001 clearer photos of the face were taken. They showed that it was only a massive rock.
Secondly, it is been said to be a natural landform similar to those in the American West. The Face on Mars is just a butte which occurs when lava domes into an isolatd mesa. Scientist Jim Garvin says, "It remids me most of Middle butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." So this "face" is almost like a natural landform right here on Earth acorrding to the chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program.
Although, these points are valid how can we tell what the Face on Mars really is untill we actually go there. For all we know the pictures are being obstructed by Martian clouds or that NASA is releasing false images. But, why would a space angency always in need of some more funding for even more research want to hurt itself by not releasing real images. Also why would NASA mess with the most clear, powerful, and detailed images of the Face that they have from not being right there hovering over the rock formation.
In conclusion, the Face on Mars is nothing more than a natural rock formation with some cool shadows. There is full proof evidence that shows this to be true. There is the fact that its just like other formations in the area and on Earth and that there are some amazing pictures of it taken years apart that only get more and more detailed. Other claims do not have this kind of true scientific reaserch behind them. | 34

6df56fa | People should concider becoming a Segoing Cowboy because it is an amazing experience that if you try it you will never regret doing it, because you can travel the world to help people who are in need, you can visit places such as Europe, Greece, and more. While you are on the boat travaling you can take care of the animals on the boat ! If you do decide to become a Seagoing Cowboy then while you are traviling you can learn the cultuer of the people you are visiting. Even though you are on the boat for a while you will have plenty of things
to do such as feed the animals, because the animals need food and water at least two t three times a day. And you will have to clean the animals stalls . In your spare time you can play games such s baseball, vollyball, tableyennice, fencing, boxing reading, whittling, and whole lot more. In concludsion it would be an amazing ecperience for you to

0425a6e | In this article the author is talking about going to Venus. The author explains the reasons why we should explore this planet. The author mentions that they should study Venus despite the danger it presents. Venus is the closest planet from the Earth in terms of density, size, and occasionally in distance too. Is Venus so inhospitable, why do scientist want to learn more of this planet? Venus has been proven a very challenging place to examine more closely.Why is it so important to visit Venus? What are the risks of going to Venus? What would the conditions be to go to Venus?
Venus is the second planet from our sun. Not even a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decade. Each previous mission was unmanned, no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Studyng Venus is a challenge to humans. Venus atmosphere is almost 97 percent carbon dioxide. Of any planet from our solar system Venus has the hotterst surface. Astronomers believe that Venus once was like Earth. In tis article it it mentioned that long ago Venus used to be covered lagerly by oceans and problaby had many forms of life. Venus still have certain characteristics that relate to the Earth like valleys, mountains, craters, and rocky sediments. Returning to Venus is indisputable, scientists and astronomers are trying to figure out the ways to make this mission safe and scientifically productive? The NASA has an idea to sending humans to study Venus. This idea would allow them to float above the fray, temperatures would still be at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit. However researchers cannot take samples of any kind from a distance. Nasa researchers are working on safer ways to study Venus. Reseachers are thinking in using old technology called mechanical computers. But why not use modern computers and more advanced technology?
Well modern technology is tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions. This challenge is to human curiosity which will lead to equally intimidating endeavors.
In conclusion in order to visit Venus there are many dangers that could occur. But how the author suggested despite the dangers. In the article mentions many danger of visiting Venus and the ways reseachers are trying to find to visit Venus safe and to learn. Studying Venus would help humanity to discover new things.
There will be dangers in this challenge but it's worth it. The author explains why they should study Venus and give details and explains the dangers of this challenge. | 23

f0cb8d2 | Dear,Florida I think that we should keep the Electoral College becuase it keeps the number of votes and it produces a clear winner. The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the senate decreed in the constitution. The Electoral College is a process that consists of 538 electors. Each state equals the number of members in the house of representives. The Electoral also select what their responsibilities are. The Electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism a non-democratic method. The Electoral College is also a mordern sense. Also no region (south,northeast,etc.) has enough electoral votes to elect a president. Residents also feel that their votes dont get counted that the new president will have no regard for thier interest, that he really isnt their president.
Electoral College alson avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the vote cast. | 12

a4bb0c4 | Dear senator,
I highly suggest you to reconsider about voting for that particular president. There might be quite a few people that voted for that person. Also there is a lot of people that like the other canidate. Most of the people that are not eligable to vote would want you to make the right choice.
Now that most states have a winner take all system it is not very fair for all the people in one state just to go to one person. It is the right thing to do to get all of the people in one state just to vote for the canidate that they want to take over the oval office. It would be a better system and would have less of a possible risk just to get a tie in the ellectoral college.
So i highly regard this letter just to let you know that changing the way of voting would make a big deal to all of the country. It would benefit the whole country that every person could make a big difference in the elections of modern society. In the future we will have what is called chaos in the voting polls. None of the voting will matter because the electors will get to decide who will be president.
Scincerely,

89fac32 | Have you ever imagined a world without drivers? Google cofounder Sergey Brin has envisioned public transportation systems that are driverless. Driverless vehicles is a bad idea because of, safety, more money being wasted in production, and driving itself.
First of all, the saftey of a driver is in danger when a computer takes over. At any given moment, the car can fail, and the driver can get injured. The text states, "The human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." In the 21st century, we have cell phone. If a people already today use their phones while driving, imagine when driverless cars are introduced to the public. People will be paying more attention to their cell phones that the road.
Secondly, making these car will take a large amount of money. The text say that a Toyota Prius was modified with numerous cameras and sensors to make this driverless car mimic the skill of a human at the wheel. Buying a car made with all those modifications will cost you. Also, adding more systems in the car such as, entertainment and information systems, will cost money too.
Driving was always fun to everybody, but with the idea of a driverless car, the fun goes away. "The phsychological aspects of automation are really a challenge." To fix the problem, BMW project manager says that they have to interpret the driving in a new fun way. BMW says they will add entertainments systems. That is a dumb idea because you need to be paying attention to the road.
Driverless cars, will become worse thorughout the course of its production. There will be failures within the car itself and the technology inside it. There will also be more problems to worry about, such as the systems breaking and the car breaking down. Do you really want to sit and watch a computer drive you to your destination? | 23

b9f20f1 | Our founding fothers wanted our goverment to be "for the people, by the people". But we can't run our goverment if the electors vote for us. We should have the right to vote for who we want to run our nation. Thats why I think our nation should use popular vote when electing our nations President and Vice President.
In the Bill of Rights we are given the freedom of speach, freedom of press, and freedom of religion. Shouldn't we have the freedom to elect the leaders of our nation? We have worked hard to give everybody the right to vote, but yet electors are voting for us. Acording to an excerpt from "The Indefensible Electoral Collage: Why even the best-laid defense are wrong" they talk about how voters canot always control who their electors vote for. That means that your vote was practicly useless. In "The Indefensible Electoral Collage: Why even the best-laid defense are wrong", they state that "At the most basic leval, the electoral collage is unfair to voters." They also talk about how candites don't spend much time in states they have no chance of winning in. Instead they only focus on states that they know they will suceade in. "It's offical: The electoral collage is unfair, outdated, and irrational." I belive that in order for us to be in control, we should at least get a say on who will lead our nation.
Though the Electoral Collage isn't the fairest, most acurate way to vote, it also isn't such a bad idea. Evan though we have the right to vote, we abuse that power. we don' think of the consiqunces that will come with who we ellect. We look at all the possitive things somebody has done but don't look at the negitive things. With The Electoral Collage we have a group of people deciding what is best for our nation, | 23

2bb20b8 | Have you ever thought about going places? If you have you should paritcipate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. You will feel the same exciment that Luke did. You will not regret it. You will be on a ture of awesomeness. Insted of just sitting down on the couch at home.
In the story Luke goes place's with his friend. When his friend asked him he says "it was an opprotunity of a life time" that is you are you going to be saying when you are done. It will be fun you can bring some one to just like Luke friend did. It would be nice you and your friend out going places.
In the story Luke goes to a lot of places like China,Europe,New Orleans,etc. Think of how you will feel going to all them places metting making new friends. it sounds like fun. Did you know people almost all over the world will meet you.
You might learn new stuff and you might get new stuff.
So you should sign up for the Seagoing Cowboys program. You will be able to do a lot of stuff just like Luke. How fun will it be just you and your friend going to diffrent places. So don't sit on the couch watching t. v. go to the Seagoing Cowboy program. You love it garunted just go and have the time of your life. | 23

8355126 | The article of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is that for along time every spaceship that would try to explore Venus would not survive all of the landing everytime it goes to the planet. And the planet is right next door to Earth up in space, and every other planet are always going around the Sun in different speed and direction at different times. The reason why every spaceship didn't land on the planet is because the whole planet don't have any gravity form like Earth does. The author supports this idea about the studie of Venus is a worthy pursuits the despite of the dangers is that the aurthor has been studying all of the plantes for along period of time. All of the temperature on the planet is different but it can be also dangers because you wouldn't know how to survive on the planet without speciel stuff that you would need to live. This explanation of the evidencefrom the article supports my claim is that you have to have almost everything that you need for the whole trip to that planet, and there is a lot of tricky turns and paths that you have to know what you are looking for. | 01

a3f1de6 | Dear Mr. Senator,
I would like to make a request. Please abandon the idea of the electoral collage. thats a childs game. It is not fair game. The electoral collage sends a certain number of electors to represent a state. Why not let an individual person represent his or her self? it is obsurd that in Wyoming, a state of 500,000 voters, only get 55 represenntitives. It is with great agrivation that i ask you to make this change.
Furthermore, I would like to state that the electoral collage is outdated and irrational. There is no need for this great mess. The oposition states that the electoral collage is a nessesity for organization. I personally beg to differ. I feel that voting for presidents would be more organized if we counted each individual vote from each individual person. I no longer want to vote for a slate of representitives when it comes time to vote for another president.
In addition, did you know that there were four presidents that had the mentality to abolish the electoral collage? These presidents, as stated in The Indefensible electoral Collage: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong, by Bradford Plumer, were Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Bob Dole. As well as the U.S. chamber of commerce and the AFL-CIO. they were all in favor of abolishing this horrid electoral collage! AL Gore lost the presidency because of the electoral collage. He had 60% popularity vote.
Furthermore, I am ashamed to say that each state has its own amount of representitives. We should have a universal number of representitives for each state because it is unfair that a president can lose a presidential election because a state that had an increaced amount of representitives ran against them. I ask you to please vote against the electoral collage for the following three reasons:
The representitives dont amount to the number of individuals that voted.
The electoral collage is outdated and irrational
Each state has an individual amount of representitives.
In conclution, I ask you to please hear the peoples pleas and abolish this garbage we call the electoral collage. I thank you for taking the time to read this letter and hear what the people have to say about this matter.
A Citizen of Florida,

db45d38 | I do not think that the use of this technology in a classroom is valuable. I think the use of this technology is pointless and a waste of money, in a classroom atleast.
One reason I do not agree with the use of this computer software in a classroom is because the software doesn't understand everything that we are feeling inside. People don't always put on a face when they are feeling some type of emotion, rather they can just sit there expressionless and still feel angry, sad, or happy. I do not think this software is advanced or accurate enough to tell what we're feeling.
Another reason I find this software useless in a classroom is about learning cirriculum in the classroom. In the article it said that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,". How is the software supposed to know what we are learning, how we are supposed to learn about it, and how would the software modify the lesson to make it less confusing or more interesting? I think the software would be less useful than an actual human being teacher, because a teacher can explain and help you with something when you're confused, and not have to worry about modifying the lesson which could cause everyone to be at a different level of understanind of the lesson.
My final reason I do not agree with the use of this technology in a classroom is about the cost, and is it even nessasary? Since this software is new and advanced for facial coding, I would assume it would be very expensive. The use of this system to me, is just a waste of money, and is basically making teachers less useful and interactive with their students. A teacher is the one who should make decisions on how to teach a lesson or how to help a student, rather than a computer software that doesn't know what a person is thinking just because of their facial expression.
In conclusion I do not agree with using this technology in a classroom to help students with their learning. This software may be useful in other situations, but to me, in a classroom it is useless along with a waste of the schools money. | 34

b300e9b | I like the idea of this technology of how it can tell what peoples emotions are like. I belive it can help people who are wanting to in the feild of human emotions, because it can help them spot how a patient is feeling.
But this technology can also do harm to some people with depression because if or when they try the online face reader it is going to show that they are sad, mad, or angry and that might make them feel those emotions even more.
and here is my list of why I love and hate technology.
Modern technology has gotten to a point where if computers came alive the human race would be killed off in a couple of days.
Computers can now detect how we are feeling.
We have been able to make robots and who is to say that someone made falty wireing or made a falty chip.
There goes a robot on its way to making the world its own.
Technology is getting better every day with new computers and new updates to keep them safer to the user so they can worry less about their information getting out to the public.
That is Apples clam to fame that their phones and computers can not be hacked.
There are special employee's in Apple that try to hack their own system to make sure that their system is bulletproof.
This is why they were able to make this clam.
When new updates, phones, and computers come out there is a select few that try to find the weakest part of the system and tair it down.
Just to prove that no computer is better than them and their hacking system.
In fact now hacking systems are so good now that almost any computer can get hacked for the other side of the world.
Like the saying goes you are only as strong as your weakest link.
These are all reasons they computers are good and bad for people they can save use by keeping our information safe but they could also be hacked by some smart guy who has way to much time on his hands and then finally the world could be taken over by robots.
These are all reasons why I love and hate technology. | 01

0dabca9 | I claim that the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because of the many reasons in the text he tells us. He says that it is very simple to see from a safe distance, but harder when you get closer to it, he also presents the idea that each mission was unmanned and for a good reason, and lastly Venus has a very thick atmosphere of a poisonious gas. These are all reasons he supports the idea that it is fun to study, but also dangerous. I will get more in depth with these reasons.
The first reason that the author supports this idea is when he says this statement in paragraph one, "While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely." This shows that the author is trying to support the idea because he is saying Venus is easy to see from Earth, and a far distance, but when our space programs have tried to get closer, it has presented more problems that make it very difficult to examine more closely, which shows the author says Venus is worth studying, but dangerous.
The second reason the author supports the idea is in paragraph two. He says "Each mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." This shows when the author says "For a good reason" that he is trying to say he supports the idea of us trying to study more about Venus, but is glad we are approaching it at a safe distance, and unmanned. This is another reason he is telling us that it is good to study, but dangerous.
The last reason the author supports this idea is in paragraph three when he states, "Even more challenging are the clouds of the highly corrrosive sulfric acid in Venus's atmosphere." This shows that he is stating some of the facts that it is highly dangerous to go on Venus, by saying the words "Even more challenging" which presents he agrees with the idea that Venus is worthy to pursue studying, despite the dangers.
In conclusion, the reasons the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is because of the highly dangerous atmosphere, the spaceships that never survive landings on Venus for more than a few hours, and safe to see from a good vantage point but challenging when you get closer, all suggest that the author supports this idea. These are all reason as to how well the author does on being able to agree with this topic. | 23

e49f6c5 | Is studying venus a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
I belive that it is a worthy pursuit that will take our inovations to the next level because its a planet that has givin us a great couriosity to explore and can also help us create machines that expand our reserches trough its grounds.
it also help us discover further knowlidge by sudying venus we can take our imagination and inovationt to our furthest we are learning further ways that can take human technology to expand and also humand kind in finding other planets we can survive in.The technology being used in venus and help us take it to other planets risking the the dangers and challenges we may face in the reasearche of this land.
The reaserches being done from venus help us see different temptures that may not be easy conditions,but survivle to human kind
and might help us see different ways we can survive in different temperature above the ground surface taht help us survive in venus and also on earth.
The expirement taking on board for venus can expand many of our reasearches of other planets and also expand the tempetaures our technology can take a see we see in the article we don't imagine that a phone or tablet or any of our technology being take on acid or in very high temepratures is going to survive and by traying to find ways that our technology takes all the heat from venus is going to take a lot of effort to be done to find a way to be done in order for our technology to survive taking the temperatures from venus and making a similar expirence and exposing our technology might help us create our own technology stronger.I also belive the author should of put a little more infromation as why he thinks it is nececery to explore venus however if we send machine to the grounds on venus its only giving us a limited insight on the grond we also need to discover the atmoshepere of venus,the climate,the max tempeture and the min tempeture of venus. | 23

732b189 | Are the students using the technology to read their emotional expressions? Is it good? Using the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because some new computer software that can recognize emotions, technology can make a smile to our face, and students can relax their stress by using technology. If students uses technology, they can get a lot of benefits from it.
Some new computer software that can recognize emotions because everybody has their emotion like happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness these are associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. If students was so confused, their mind will not recognize on their homework. They cannot be focus their education and they don't know what did they learn, how to do their homework. Using by technology like a looking funny videos, they can recognize their emotions.
Technology can make a smile to our face because how much technology can do by playing games, looking funny videos, and like a using facebook. Imagine a computer that knows when youre happy or sad. 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." technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery that's why technology can make a smile to our face.
Students can relax their stress by using technology because when they were sad or confused, they can relax their stress on online. For example- playing video games, looking funny movies on facebook or youtube. So they would be laughing when they looked funny movies. If they want someting, the can buy that on the online shopping. It will be cool. Students have every classes' homework, sometimes they will bore and confuse if they don't know how to do it. So they can relax by using technology.
I agree students are using technology is great because it makes a smile on their faces. When they were bored or aloned, technology can makes a partner them. If students were seperated country each other, they can call video call and they can text messages by using technology texting apps so using technology is great. They can buy dresses, phones, makeup etc....by using technology that online shopping. They can play games and can watch funny movies when they were bored. Technology can help their mind will fresh and can make a smile on their face. | 34

a16a21f | Car is a advantage sometimes when you need to go somewhere but the experts,say this is a danger because he reduce the greenhouse gas ,reduced communities.
In passage 9 in lines 2 source 1:In German suburb,life goes on without cars it say"In the united states , the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities,and legislators are starting to act,if cautiously".
It's important to have a car for deplacement but this is a risk because he affect the pollution of the air. And cause some accident.
In paragraph 10 source 2:Paris driving due to smog it say"After days of near-record pollution,Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city". In paragraph 15 source 2"Colds nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emmission".
Some people when it rain say this is a good opportunity because when the air is polluted and youwhen you have a problem for respiration he give you stress.
In the paragraph 23 and 24 it say "It's a good opportunity to take away the stress and lower air pollution".
At the mobile world congress some company see the vehicle ownership is impratical or undesirable because he want to save resorces.
In paragaph 43 some industry proposed to creates cities in which"pedestrian ,bicycle ,privates cars,commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network"To save time,conserve resources ,lower emissions and improve safety". | 12

6ef2063 | If i was a scientist at NASA and had to do research on of the face that is on mars i would say it isnt a human face. I think it is just a natural landform.
My evidence that the face is not really a human being is first of all it doesnt even have a body. Since they took pictures of the face, they could have croped the pictures to look real. In the pictures that scientists took of the face in 1976 to 2001 the pictures look nothing like a face. The pictures show cracks that may appear to look like a face but really isnt.
When a scientist was taking a picture on mars he noticed an enormous head nearly two miles from one end to the other end and it seemed that it was staring back at the cameras from a region of the red planet called cyndonia. The cause of that could have been a shadow and not a human looking back at him. Another thing is that i dont think they seen a Martian because when they said that they had pictures of a Martian, picture cant always be true because of how people crop pictures today.
So these are my reasons why i think that that face is not really a face, just a natural landform. A lot of people may believe what thay want to believe. Just remember that eveybody has there own opinion. | 12

f4e9538 | Dear state senator, I believe that we shouldn't keep the electoral college process because it should be in favor of the popular vote for the president of the Unites States instead of how it is now. I believe this becasue for example with this system voters don't vote for the president but for the slate of electors even though this system does come with some positives like it allows them to focus on their campaign efforts but can turn into a complete disaster factor.
To begin with,the system of the electoral college does not allow the voters to vote for the president but only for a slate of electors, they are the ones who elect the president. There is always an off-chance that those electors that won the statewide election would go to Congress and the opponent recieves more electoral votes. The electors are chosen from the state they could be state conventions, or the state party's central committee and even sometimes the presidential candidate themselves. This system then leads to several cons such as the voters can not control whom their electors vote for and also the voters tend to get confused sometimes about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate.
Although, maybe we should be able to keep our despised method of choosing the president because, it comes with several pro's like for example, a dispute over the outcome of an electoral college vote is possible like in 2012's election when Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to 51.3 percent of the votes that came from Romney. In this election the winner is aware with the electoral votes which induces the candidates and allows them to focuses on their campaign efforts. Lead them to the toss-up states which basically mean they are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign so the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election.
Last but not least, this system is also known a the disaster factor like for example the 2000 fiasco which was the biggest election crisis in a century because they had to consider that the state legislatures are technically responsible for picking the electors and that they will always define the will of those people. Many of the electors have occasionally refused to vote for their own party candidate and even cast a deciding vote for whomever it is that they want or perfer to please. this method should not be prohibeded any more because of the causes it is doing which is affec
In conclusion it is official the the system of the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and also it is concluded to be an irrational system. I still believe that the electoral college should be elected by popular vote for the president. | 34

d83ebc6 | So I'm driving in my nice great black colored Handa with black rims and green neon lights. But let me stop there I do not want to get into all of the details of the car. Like i was saying i was driving and next thing you know BOOM!! I collided with a nasty old rusty out fo style truckand ruine my car. I called 1800-411-pain and they will handle it. I guess i have usage for this car anymore and I can just walk. my point i"m making is that you don't need a car to get you where you go all the time. citizens can use other sources of transportations. Citizens need to take advantages of limting car usage for the u. s. and the world. i'm going to i'm inform citizens about advantages of limiting car usage.
First of all, a lot of citizens love their cars like i did. What some citizens don't know that cars are dangrous. Well I think everybody know that because of all the accidents and crash but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the pollutions. That the air is being polluted. Secondly, That is not the only thing. Riding bikes, walking, taking the bus, and taking a cab can help stop pollution. Now I'm not talking about taking away all cars. We have to take advantages of limiting the car usage.
Honestly, walking is not that bad and so is riding a bike. It is really good workout. It is also safer than cars if you don't trip or fall off your bike.
Also citizens won't cause congestion. Citizens don't also have pay bill and loans for their cars if you don't have one. Now i know some people have job to get to, so all you have to do is to wake up early for work ride a bike or take the bus arrive to work on time. If you was late and something comes up just make up a lie about why you are. At least you are helping out the world. Most of all, when you drive a car then a cop stops you and give you a ticket even though you didn't do nothing wrong. You can avoid that by just taking a bus. Also going to waste money on gas and the bus only 2 dollars. Like I said I'm saying that you should get rid of your car. i'm saying take advantage of limiting car usage.
In otherwise, in Vauban, Germany life goes on without the usage of cars. As a result, 70 percent of vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. They had to give residents ticket if they drive their. All I'm trying to say is take advantage of limiting car usage. | 23

6009def | Here is my position on driver-less cars. I feel driver-less cars only work if you do. They should rename driver-less cars, to 2-driver cars because there's never going too be a moment in time when the car is driving by itself. You will always have too do your normal job, you'll just have extra help this time. You should never feel like you dont have too pay attention to the road because the car is not driving for you, it's driving with you. You should also never feel like you can focus on something else while in the car driving, you should always be alert but you should also always know the car has your back for anything else you cant see. For example, the car will warn you for traffic ahead, crashes, road blocks, ect.
In alot of states it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars. For example, California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars; manufacturers believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliably safe. Wich makes sense because all people want is too be safe. So if there is a car out there that keeps familys life out of danger lots of people will want it.
In conclusion, i feel like once the manufactorers of driverless-cars proves too the people it is safe, it will become very big in alot of country's fast. | 23

1259ea4 | Hello everyone I am Luke the Seagoing Cowboy. Today. I think it will be a great opportunity for you too by joining the Seagoing Cowboys program. And here let me tell you why.
I started with a help of my friend because I had no choice. He introduced me after the world war II where people still live in the ruins and are starving. It was a good thing for me back then because I had no hope. And that is how it started.
When i joined the program it was hard definaty it a job after all my main purpose was to go of to the seas to another country and help poeple in needs. Through that I was able to go to alot of places, but moving wasent a easy job. I had time when I broke my ribs and could not even work for our crew and that is not all the tides in the oceans are strong very strong and if you were the night watcher too bad. I turned 18 when i was in way to Greece. I was able to be darte d for military service and they said to countine my military service. I also admit but it was a great oppertunity for me. There is also a fun side. When all the cattles were gone our crew was able to stay and play games like vollyball tabletennis,boardgames and lot more it is definatly worth it do ing hard work for all that. You could also tour the citys I visited the Acropolis,the Gondola ride in Venice,excavaded castle in Crete,Panama Canal an the way to China. So now lets go to the actuall reasons why you should join the program:
1. You can tour big places while you are there. That is one of the big reasons I joined the program 2. You can really be aware of waht is going on. I saw th ruins and it was really bad horrible all houses colasped...
3. You can help people in need and are starving for food even though they did not do any thing wrong. I felt really pitty for them beacase the war has not started because of them and they are starvng well for no reason.
I really think that you guys should join the program,ofcourse there are though times, but seeing people get satisfied by my work and visting places for free it is definatly worth at least trying out for this program. This program changed my life it might change yours too. | 23

735f77f | There are many advantages to limiting car usage. for example, 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. Another example is that all around the world there are attempts to make suburbs and communitys more compact and more accessible to public transportation with less parking spaces. This is a new approach in which stores are placed a walk away or on a main street. Not like malls who usually are along some distant highway. In vauban 70 percent of vauban's families do not own cars and 57 percent sold a car to move here. In the united states the environmental protection acency is promoting "car reduced" communities like vauban.
In paris after near-record pollution they enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. On monday even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave there cars at home of the would have to pay $31. they did the same for the odd-numbered plates the followinf day. Almost 4,000 people were fined. One good thing though is that congestion was down 60 percent in the capital france, after 5 days of intenssifying smog. Paris typically has more smog than other european capitals. In Bogota, Colombia millions of colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car free day. The goal was to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Carlos Arturo Plaza a businessman said "it was a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." He was riding a two-seat bike with his wife.
In the United States recent studies suggest that americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. This has left researchers pondering a fundamental question: has america passed peak driving? When adjusted for population growth, the number of miles driven in the united states peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter, according to an analysis by Dough Short of advisor perspectives, an investment company. A sociology professor at Drexel University and director of its mobilities research and policy center, MiMi Sheller said that "different things are converging which suggests that we are witnessing a long term cultural shift". She says it allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet people. Demographic shifts in the driving population suggest that the trend may accelerate. Mr. Sivak's research has found that there has been a large drop in the percentage of 16 to 39-year-olds getting a license, while older people are likely to retain their licenses as they age. A study found that driving by a young age decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.
As you can tell the advantages of limiting car usage are that it helps clear the air, reduce smog and take stress away. It also lowers air pollution and helps with making the greenhouse gas emissions in europe go down. Another thing is that it is a great way to promote alternative transportation. These are some on the many advantages of limiting car usage. | 12

7bec740 | They are sayin how to detect other people feeling. How other people feel. The software of some new computer that recognize emotions. Can they like calculate emotions like math homework i think they can not calculate emotions like a math homework. Your frontalis pars lateralis muscle above your eyes raises your eyebrows when you're surpised your orbicularis oris around your mouth tightens your lip to show anger. The facial expressions for each emotion are universal. They would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy worried etc.
Computers know when your happy or sad 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. Most human communication is nonverbal inculding emotional communication so computers need to know that to. You can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. A computer animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery.
According to the facial feedback theory of Emotion moving your facial emotions, but also may even help produce them. Putting on a happy face actually works a renowned drama coach had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage. Whoever thought that making faces could reveal so much about the science of emotions. | 01

eee5e56 | Professor Thomas Huang has a initiative way of finding out how someone is feeling. "New computer software that can recognize emotions", some may view it as an invasion of privacy, or just straight up weird. I believe it could be a new way to not only help but to recognize your own feelings or your persona to others.
As we speak about the new invention I'd like to mention how it works. "the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face", there are 44 major muscles in the model that move like a human muscle for accuracy. Someone who is not only an expert with technology works on these but also someone who is an expert in mood, stability, etc works through these. "Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman."
"There are 6 basic emotions; happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness......" These emotions are "calculated" per say by looks, movements, and the facial muscles. This could help dictate the feelings of someone who is unable to speak or vocalize. Now "putting on a happy face" is actually possible. | 12
