And in my conclusion the facial expressions for each emoion are univeral oberves,and even though individuals show varying degress of expressions. Each student have the own facial expression is compared aginst a neutral face showing no emotion in a student face. A machine that will let you know if a student is borde or confused is good but that's why we have are own voice to let our teacher know that we need help.

Many countries and cities have cut down the usage of cars because of the pollution that they cause. Some countries created days dedicated to not driving cars, and if someone violated this, they would be fined. Some people accepted this and embraced it, while others did not like the idea of not being able to drive at all. That was why when Paris forced a driving ban, almost 4,000 drivers were fined according to the article "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer. They did this because they are the city in Europe with the most pollution.

Many places are trying to make things closer together and easier to get to, to encourage walking over driving, Andrew Selsky mentioned in his article "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota." He also mentioned that "parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks..." So this has caused the people in Bogota, Colombia to love walking no matter the weather. In the article, "The End of Car Culture" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, she mentions that America's love of cars has decreased a lot. She also has stated that "a study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009". People are now car-pulling or walking. Car sales have decreased as well. In some cities like Vauban, Germany have cut car usage all together and are completely car free as mentioned in the article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal.

there are far more advantages to not taking car then there are disadvantages. It is important to cut back the usage of cars to cut back on pollution in the world. Many countries have already done so, which has only been very beneficial for them. People are happier and less stressed out, the air is clean of harmful fumes. Which is why it is so beneficial for more countries and cities to cut back on the use of cars, so people can be more happy and healthy.

" Sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to venus." "EAch previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." "Not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." " A thick natmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide blankets Venus." The suface of venus is over 800 degress, that is 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth. These conditions on Venus are far more extreme. Venus conditions also beat submarines divinging into the deepest parts of out oceans. Ir would liquidfy metals. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar sysem even though Mercury is closer to our sun. Venusian geology and weather presents additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. Venus was probaly covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Venus still has some features just like Earth. The planet has rocky sediment and includes familar features like valleys mountains and craters but, you have to consider given the long time frames of space travel. Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray. A cehicle hpvering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of the way. You would have to be 30 plus miles above the surface. The temperture will still be hot around 170 degrees. The air pressure would be close to sea level on Earth. "Radation would not exceed Earths levels." The conditions on Venus would be survable for humans. " Most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering sandard forms of photography and videpgraphy ineffective."

Usually when students get home from school, they use their time being on their phone or playing video games. When they go to an after school activity, they use some of their free time constructively. If the student went to the sports club, then they would get more physical exercise. If the student does yearbook, then they get to learn about different activities going on throughout the school. If the student participates in the student council, then that student gets to help the community through service projects. All of those clubs provide better use of the students time, rather than just sitting at home doing nothing. If the students actually enjoy cutting back on devices, then would try to manage their time so they are staying away from screens and doing something that is stimulative.

Staying after school would be the perfect time for that student to do the activity that they want to do. Maybe the student wasn't selected for the yearbook elective in school, but because there is a yearbook activity after school; that student can now do yearbook like she wanted to. Some parents can't afford for their child to do certain activities like play a sport. If there was an opportunity for the students to stay after to do a sport for free, they would take it.
