Your Driving Data Can Reveal Your Routes
Insurance companies have for years offered a compelling tradeoff to their customers: they track your driving habits, you save up to 30 percent off your bill for driving safely. But researchers now say that consumers may be giving up too much privacy in the deal.
If you install the tracking device in your car, insurers like Allstate and Progressive can gather information about when you drive, your starts and stops and your speed.
To avoid spooking customer fears about Big Brother, most of these devices do notinclude GPS. But computer scientists say they don’t need GPS to get a pretty good idea of where you’ve been.
In separate experiments, researchers at the University of Denver and Rutgers University wrote algorithms that use a driver’s starting point along with the tracking data to estimate where that driver traveled.
Are drivers worried their data could be used as evidence in criminal investigations or to catch philandering spouses? Nah. Surveys find that most people think highly of their skills behind the wheel. And they’d rather cut their rates than keep their privacy.

Does Thinking Fast Mean You’re Thinking Smarter?
[attach]140804[/attach]
time2
In 1884, at his specially built Anthropometric Laboratory in London, Sir Francis Galton charged visitors three pence to undergo simple tests to measure their height, weight, keenness of sight and “swiftness of blow with fist.” The laboratory, later moved to the South Kensington Museum, proved immensely popular—“its door was thronged by applicants waiting patiently for their turn,” Galton said—ultimately collecting data on some 17,000 individuals.
One measure that deeply interested Galton, who is recognized as “the father of psychometrics” for his efforts to quantify people’s mental abilities (and scorned as the founder of the eugenics movement because of his theories about inheritance), was speed. He believed that reaction time was one proxy for human intelligence. With a pendulum-based apparatus for timing a subject’s response to the sight of a disc of paper or the sound of a hammer, Galton collected reaction speeds averaging around 185 milliseconds, split seconds that would become notorious in the social sciences.
For decades other researchers pursued Galton’s basic idea—speed equals smarts. While many recent tests have found no consistent relationship, some have demonstrated a weak but unmistakable correlation between short reaction times and high scores on intelligence tests. If there is a logic to the link, it’s that the faster nerve signals travel from your eyes to the brain and to the circuits that trigger your motor neurons, the faster your brain processes information it receives, and the sharper your intellect.
Psychologist Michael Woodley of Umea University in Sweden and his colleagues had enough confidence in the link, in fact, to use more than a century of data on reaction times to compare our intellect with that of the Victorians. Their findings call into question our cherished belief that our fast-paced lives are a sign of our productivity, as well as our mental fitness. When the researchers reviewed reaction times from 14 studies conducted between the 1880s and 2004 (including Galton’s largely inconclusive data set), they found a troubling decline that, they calculated, would correspond to a loss of an average of 1.16 IQ points a decade. Doing the math, that makes us mentally inferior to our Victorian predecessors by about 13 IQ points. [381]
time3
The Victorian era was “marked by an explosion of creative genius,” Woodley and his colleagues write. There was, after all, the first world’s fair, the rise of railways, anesthetics and tennis. While environmental factors can surely boost specific skills (some researchers thank better education and nutrition for increases in IQ over the last few decades), Woodley appears to argue, from the biological perspective, our genes are making us dumber.
Critics, however, aren’t as quick to agree on our apparent downward mental trajectory. Whether or not we’re dumbing down, they argue, resurrecting old data from independent studies with different protocols is not the best way to find out. Reaction times are known to vary depending on how much a study emphasizes accuracy, whether participants practice in advance and the nature of the test signal itself. Some researchers now think that other measures of reaction times are more telling. They look at the variability in response time rather than the average, or they add decision making, so you react to a flash of light only if it is, say, red.
As a society we certainly equate speed with smarts. Think fast. Are you quick-witted? A quick study? A whiz kid? Even Merriam-Webster bluntly informs us that slowness is “the quality of lacking intelligence or quickness of mind.” But we also recognize something counterintuitive about accepting full-stop that people who react faster are smarter. That’s why, even though athletic training improves reaction time, we wouldn’t scout for the next Einstein at a basketball game. Intelligence probably has a lot to do with making fast connections, but it surely has just as much to do with making the right connections.
Even the perception of speed can be deceptive. When things come easily or quickly, when we don’t have to struggle, we tend to feel smarter, a concept termed fluency. In one study, Adam Alter and fellow psychologists at New York University asked volunteers to answer a series of questions typed in either a crisp, clear font (a fluent experience) or a slightly blurred, harder to read version (a disfluent one). The people who had to work harder ended up processing the text more deeply and responding to the questions more accurately. [383]

1. Chautauqua, NYChautauqua, on a long, skinny lake in the southwestern corner of New York State, is the sort of bucolic place where folks like to go for slow-lane vacations, but there's much more to it than ice-cream cones and ferry rides. Something important happened here in 1874 that changed the way Americans think about leisure time—the first Chautauqua Assembly. Originally a training ground for Methodist Sunday school teachers, it went on to demonstrate the role of learning in the perpetuation of democracy. It was, President Theodore Roosevelt said, "the most American thing in America."
The leafy 750-acre lakeside campus of the Chautauqua Institution draws 8,000 people for its nine-week summer season, and thousands more attend art openings and performances of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, the Opera Company and the School of Dance. Yet the classes and lectures are still the main attraction. Last summer Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg discoursed on how the law is treated in opera. This summer: global hunger, the democratic future of Egypt and the filmmaker Ken Burns on American consciousness. "Our founders didn't see 'happiness' as a pursuit of material wealth in a marketplace of things," says Burns, "but a celebration of lifelong learning in a marketplace of ideas. Chautauqua is that marketplace."
A participant's summer day might start with coffee and a doughnut at Food for Thought café overlooking the pansy beds of Bestor Plaza, and then a walk out to the lake to hear "Rock of Ages" piped over the colony from Miller Bell Tower. The 10:45 lecture is a high point, held in the 4,000-seat amphitheater, an 1893 landmark outfitted in later years with a booming pipe organ. In the afternoon there's golf, swimming, a Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle book talk or a class on subjects such as the CIA, classical Greek or garden composting. Pack your slippers and take ballet.
Though the gathering welcomes believers of all faiths and nonbelievers, too, credit the Methodists for the concept, which spread across the country, seeding "Daughter Chautauquas" as far afield as Pacific Grove, California. Thus "chautauqua," lowercase c, refers to any uplifting group instruction, preferably conducted under a radiant blue sky. [361]

Sugar doesn’t make kids hyper, and other parenting myths
[attach]140805[/attach]
time5
Baby shoes didn’t feature prominently into Baby V’s wardrobe for quite some time. Tiny Chuck Taylors are adorable, obviously, but I questioned their utility for a baby who didn’t use her feet except as wiggly pacifiers. So Baby V spent a lot of time barefoot — a fashion statement that I didn’t really consider until she started toddling around in public.
Well-meaning observers were quick to tell me that I needed to get that baby some nice stiff shoes. Hard soles will help her get the hang of walking and protect her delicate baby feet, I was told. But when I started looking into this advice, I actually found the opposite is true: These days, people recommend that babies learning to walk wear soft, flexible shoes, or better yet, go barefoot. The minimalist footwear allows the nascent walkers the most sensory feedback from their sweet little feet as they move across the earth.
I offer the shoe advice as just one tiny glimpse into the life of a parent of a young kid. Over the last year, I’ve come to learn that much of the advice I’ve heard, while well-intentioned, might just be wrong. Or at the very least, questionable. So here are my top five parenting myths (shoes didn’t make the cut), with a little dash of science. [233]
time6
1. Sugar makes kids hyper.
Lots of parents swear that a single hit of birthday cake holds the power to morph their well-behaved, polite youngster into a sticky hot mess that careens around a room while emitting eardrum-piercing shrieks. Anyone who has had the pleasure to attend a 5-year-old’s birthday party knows that the hypothesis sounds reasonable, except that science has found that it’s not true.
Sugar doesn’t change kids’ behavior, a double-blind research study found way back in 1994. A sugary diet didn’t affect behavior or cognitive skills, the researchers report. Sugar does change one important thing, though: parents’ expectations. After hearing that their children had just consumed a big sugar fix, parents were more likely to say their child was hyperactive, even when the big sugar fix was a placebo, another study found.
Of course, there are plenty of good reasons not to feed your kids a bunch of sugar, but fear of a little crazed sugar monster isn’t one of them.
2. Listening to Mozart makes babies smarter.
My colleague Rachel Ehrenberg busted this “Mozart Effect” myth in her 2010 feature. The original observation, that 10 minutes of classical music made college students briefly perform better on a paper-folding task, was twisted so out of context that the governor of Georgia used tax money to buy a classical music CD for every baby born in the state.
Many babies adore music, and there’s evidence that suggests music might help soothe babies. There’s also evidence that playing an instrument might be beneficial to brain development, as Ehrenberg points out. But scientists haven’t found that classical music makes your baby smarter. So play music to your child because she loves it and you love it, not because you’re looking to grub a few extra IQ points. [319]

Top 10 cosmological discoveries
[Paraphrase 7]
Talk about making a cosmic ripple. This week’s report ofgravity waves from the Big Bang is the biggest cosmological news of the century. It’s the science news equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane or F5 tornado. If the new results hold up, the understanding of the universe will have taken a bigger leap for humankind than hopping around on the moon. And the BICEP2 result will join an illustrious list of Page One–worthy discoveries that have advanced modern science’s knowledge about the cosmos. My top 10 (P.S. Theories, for example general relativity or heliocentrism, do not count as discoveries):
10. Cosmic microwaves are black body radiation (COBE, 1990)
To most experts, the faint glow of microwave radiation pervading the universe seemed like good evidence for the Big Bang. If so, though, that radiation should show a precise pattern for its intensity at various wavelengths. If the radiation deviated from that pattern, known as a black body spectrum, then perhaps some non-Big Bang cause was responsible. In 1990, though, measurements by the COBE satellite showed that the cosmic microwave radiation matched the black body spectrum perfectly. Opposing the Big Bang was no longer tenable.
9. Comic microwave background anisotropies (COBE, 1992)
Everybody knew that the microwave background couldn’t be completely smooth — otherwise there would be no galaxies today. The small seeds of matter that eventually grew into galaxies would have left an imprint in the temperature of the radiation, causing slight temperature differences (anisotropies) between different points on the sky. COBE was the first satellite to detect those differences and measure how big they were, crucial clues to piecing together the history of the universe. In presenting the images during the announcement of the finding, George Smoot of the COBE team said it was like looking at God.
8. Space is flat (BOOMERanG, 2000)
In a great victory for balloon science, the BOOMERanG project (which flew around the South Pole and came back to its starting place) measured the angles between ripples in the cosmic microwaves and concluded that the geometry of space was very close to perfectly Euclidean — in technical terms, “flat.” Showing that space on the whole was flat helped confirm the discovery of dark energy (see No. 5). (Without dark energy, there wasn’t enough matter and energy in space to make it flat.)
7. Quasars (Maarten Schmidt, 1963)
It was a great surprise at the time to find bright objects literally on the outskirts of the visible portion of the universe. Quasars seemed like stars (quasistellar) but were too far away to see unless they harbored some enormously energetic phenomena. Quasars beamed radio signals or other electromagnetic radiation across the universe, providing a new source of information on events transpiring in the cosmos.
6. Dark matter (Fritz Zwicky, 1931)
Zwicky noticed that the motions of galaxies in the Coma Cluster could not be explained by gravity if the only matter in the cluster was visible (that is, giving off light). He deduced that a lot of the matter in the universe was dark. “If this … is confirmed,” he wrote, “we would arrive at the astonishing conclusion that dark matter is present with a much greater density than luminous matter.” Only much later did scientists realize that not only was most of the matter in the universe invisible, it was also of some type totally unlike the ordinary matter, composed primarily of protons and neutrons, found on Earth.
5. Dark energy (Saul Perlmutter et al, Brian Schmidt et al, 1998)
Another shock to the cosmocommunity came from two independent teams in 1998. Data from distant supernovas showed their brightness wasn’t quite right if the universe’s expansion had slowly been decelerating, as most experts had long believed. Instead, the universe is expanding faster and faster. Accelerated expansion implies that something in space — now called dark energy —is pushing the cosmos apart. A new entry to this Top 10 list will have to be made whenever anybody figures out what the dark energy actually is.
4. Primordial gravity waves (BICEP2, 2014)
By far, the top cosmological discovery of the 21st century. So far, at least. Besides confirming that gravity waves really do exist (thereby further validating general relativity), this discovery provides as sure a sign as you can get that inflation instantly after the Big Bang set the stage for the future evolution of the cosmos. This discovery may also turn out to imply the existence of an infinity of parallel universes, as most versions of inflation require that our universe is just one of many big spacetime bubbles — a multiverse. Ours would surely still be the best of all possible bubbles, though.
3. Cosmic microwave background radiation (Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, 1964)
It was discovered by accident when Penzias and Wilson found out that no matter how much they cleaned their radio antenna, it still recorded static from everywhere in space. That static was the echo of the birth of the universe, literally the smoke from the Big Bang gun, in the form of microwaves. That radiation was leftover from the Big Bang fireball — very hot at the beginning, but now less than 3 degrees above absolute zero (kelvins). Very cold.
2. Island universes (Edwin Hubble, 1925)
In a sort of historical precedent for the notion of the multiverse, Hubble showed that some of the fuzzy patches of light known as nebulae were not clouds within the Milky Way galaxy, but entire galaxies (“island universes”) unto themselves. Previously the standard view, articulated most forcefully by Harlow Shapley, held that the Milky Way, home to Earth and sun, made up virtually the entire universe. But Hubble, using the most powerful telescope available, detected a star in the Andromeda nebula that varied in brightness on a regular schedule. Such “Cepheid variables” had been used by Shapley himself to gauge the distance scale of the Milky Way, so he had to concede when Hubble showed that Andromeda was vastly far beyond the Milky Way’s outskirts.
1. Universe is expanding (Hubble, 1929)
Others had figured out that the universe might be expanding. But Hubble, using data collected by Vesto Slipher and Milton Humason, published the definitive analysis establishing that the cosmos actually is growing bigger. It was the greatest intellectual upheaval in the human conception of the cosmos since Copernicus. Displacing this one from Number One on the list would require something really radical — like maybe the multiverse. [1103]

Insurance companies provide tradeoff to customers, and they track driving habits by giving customers 30% off the bill. However it seems that customers give too much privacy to insurance companies. The information of when you drive, your starts and ends, your speed, and even where you travel are known or predictable to insurance companies, without installing GPS. However drivers are not worried that their data will be used in criminal evidence, and they would rather choose to cut rates rather than keep privacy.

listening to Classical music does smooth babies, but doesn't help them to be smarter. Play classical music just because you like it, but not because you want to make your babies smarter.

A lot of people attend the test held by Galton about the relationship between reaction time and intellgence.
Logically, fast reaction means more intellegence.
Some tests questioned that conclusion.
A troubling decline was cprrespond to a loss of 1.16 IQ.

In Victorian era, people were smart.
Now, we are seems dumber.

Speaker：
Insurance company does an investigation about people’s driving habits and if the customer has a good drive habits, they can have a deal with the insurance company in which the customer can save up as much as 30% costs. However, some one thought the customer gain too much in the deal. Their starts, stops and speeds can be traced by the device in which even has no GPS. Though these companies can gather information about where they go, the customers emphasize on rates (safety) more than on privacy.
Speed

For decades, researchers have believed that the speed equals smarts. However, many recent tests call the conception into question.
2. 3’25
Some doubts are listed about the tests that are used to make the connection between the speed and intelligence. “Think correct” is much important than “think quick”.

In society, we always think speed equals smart. However, intelligence has much to do with making the right connections, though it do has a lot to do with making fast connections.

Woodley argue that our genes have make us dumber. critics they don't agree with this saying and they believe reaction times are known to vary depending on how much a study emphasizes accuracy, and depending on how whether participants practice in advance.

In this part, author talks about two issues.
first, sugars make children hyper. It may not truely has such effect. But sugar consuming may probably change parents' expection. Parents may think child eat too much sugar even if child is not.
second, listening to mozart makes babies smarter.
However, a research done with this issue find that such difference makes little sense. And there is no evidence supported that the classical music makes children smarter.
Children do it only because he love it, rather than in order to grub a few extra IQ points.

In Galton’s basic idea,reaction time was one proxy for human intelligence. However, in Psychologist Michael Woodley's findings, they called into question our cherished belief that our fast-paced lives are a sign of our productivity, as well as our mental fitness.

In the old theory, gene determines our intelligence although environment factors can boost specific skills.
However, critics aren’t as quick to agree on our apparent downward mental trajectory. Some researchers now think that other measures of reaction times are more telling. In another word, the perception of speed can be deceptive to show the intelligence.

TOP 10 cosmological discoveries:
10. Cosmic microwaves are black body radiation---some non-Big Bang cause was responsible
9. Comic microwave background anisotropies----The small seeds of matter that eventually grew into galaxies would have left an imprint in the temperature of the radiation, causing slight temperature differences between different points on the sky.
8. Space is flat--- the geometry of space was very close to perfectly Euclidean — in technical terms, “flat.”
7. Quasars----bright objects literally on the outskirts of the visible portion of the universe
6. Dark matter----not only was most of the matter in the universe invisible, it was also of some type totally unlike the ordinary matter, composed primarily of protons and neutrons, found on Earth.
5. Dark energy----Accelerated expansion implies that something in space — now called dark energy —is pushing the cosmos apart.
4. Primordial gravity waves----a sign as you can get that inflation instantly after the Big Bang set the stage for the future evolution of the cosmos.
3. Cosmic microwave background radiation----That static was the echo of the birth of the universe, literally the smoke from the Big Bang gun, in the form of microwaves.
2. Island universes----a star in the Andromeda nebula that varied in brightness on a regular schedule.
1. Universe is expanding---- Displacing this one from Number One on the list would require something really radical — like maybe the multiverse

But the scientists point out that, the data recorded can be analysed and the drivers may give off too much privacy. However, drives prefer cut rates on their insurance bills rather than keep privacy.

There is debate about whether speed equals smarts. Some fail to find relationship between them. Others demonstrate a correlation between reaction time and intelligence test.
Time 3: 3:02
Woodley et al. argue that our genes determine our intelligence. But critics point out that it is hard for researchers to check the validity of their conclusion.
Time 4: 2:36
The classes and lectures are the main attraction of Chautauqua.
Time 5: 1:26
Much of the advices about parenting, while well-intentioned, might just be wrong or questionable.

10 cosmic theories :
1. Universe is expanding. It is so radical that it is the top one theory.

3. island ..
4. Quazar. like star but far away.
5.dark energy. put the universe apart
6. dark matter. most thing in the universe is dark. it can help to explain the bigbang theory.
7. space is flat. by detecting the angle, researcher concludes that the space is flat
8. cosmic microwave background A***. different temperature proves that point.
9. primordial gravity wave. That kind of wave does exists in the universe. Multiverse.
10.cosmic microwave is black radiation.

G measure height weight ect. of human in a Lab, and indicated that there is a relationship between reaction and int. other scientists build a mod for G. Later, W use 100-years data analysis our IQ is declining.
T3 3:20
W think our genes make human dumber. Some ppl doubt the IQ- test experiment. A study shows that ppl can react faster & accurate through work hard, even the Int could not impact so much on faster reaction.
