We Have a Painter to Thank for Yellowstone上海最大个人家教平台---【嘉惠家教】
帮上海数万家庭匹配满意老师， 对接 V:jiajiao6767 （嘉惠老师）
Before artist Thomas Moran set foot inthepark, itwas seen as ahellish place. After, itwas
marketed as a wonderland.
Before Thomas Moran arrived, Yellowstone in the popular imagination was a harsh, wild place pocked
with hellish geysers.After the painter’s work was finished,Yellowstone was established as a national park and
marketedas awonderland.
In 1871 Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson had joined the first U.S. government survey of
the region. For two weeks Moran filled a sketchbook with the landscape’s most stunning sights. The survey
results, Jackson’s photos, and Moran’s watercolors—the first color renderings of the area—were presented to
Congress that fall. “The photographs were proof that what the artist was showing really existed,” says Eleanor
Harvey, senior curatorattheSmithsonianAmericanArtMuseum.
In March 1872 lawmakers officially made Yellowstone a national park, the world’s first. By April, Moran
had transformed some of his sketches into a 7-by-12-foot painting. The gold-splattered valley and billowing
Lower Falls of “The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” captivated the public. “It is too grand and wonderful
for words,” declared the Ladies’ Repository that August, “and none can ever judge of its wonders from any
engravingor photographinmereblackandwhite.”
Though Moran later painted Lake Superior, the Grand Canyon, and the Rockies, his reputation was so
intertwinedwithYellowstonethathetooktosigninghispaintings “TYM,”forThomas “Yellowstone”Moran.

What'swrongwithturningleft?
Left-hand turns are generally considered unsafe and wasteful on right-hand driving roads, such as those in
theUS.
A study on crash factors in intersection-related accidents from the US National Highway Traffic Safety
Association showsthatturningleftisoneoftheleading"criticalpre-crash events"(aneventthatmadeacollision
inevitable), occurring in 22.2 percent of crashes, as opposed to 1.2 percent for right turns. About 61 percent of
crashes that occur while turning or crossing an intersection involve left turns, as opposed to just 3.1 percent
involvingrightturns.上海最大个人家教平台---【嘉惠家教】

Left turns are also three times more likely to kill pedestrians than right ones, according to data collected by
NewYorkCity'stransportationplanners.
"A left-hand turn is also less fuel efficient," said Jack Levis, UPS Senior Director of Process Management,
"becauseyourcar'sidlinglonger,whichisalsonotgoodforyourvehicle."
UPS does not ban left turns outright, says Levis: "We will make left hand turns, but not ones that are
unnecessary. We don't need to go in circles all day long by making only right hand turns. We have tools analyze

The rule, says Levis, canalso beapplied to left-hand driving countries, such asAustralia andthe UK, where

Why datais thenew coal
“Is data the new oil?” asked proponents of big data back in 2012 in Forbes magazine. By 2016, and the rise
of big data’s turbo-powered cousin deep learning, we had become more certain: “Data is the new oil,” stated
Fortune.
Amazon’s Neil Lawrence has aslightly differentanalogy: Data, he says, is coal. Not coaltoday, though, but
coal in the early days of the 18th century, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine. A Devonian
ironmonger,Newcomenbuilthisdevicetopumpwateroutofthesouthwest’sprolifictinmines.
The problem, as Lawrence told the Re-Work conference on Deep Learning in London, was that the pump
was rather more usefulto thosewho had alot of coalthanthose who didn’t: itwas good,butnotgood enough to
buycoalintorunit.ThatwassotruethatthefirstofNewcomen’ssteamengineswasn’tbuiltinatinmine,butin

Sowhyisdatacoal?Theproblemissimilar:therearealotofNewcomensin theworldofdeeplearning.Startups
like London’s Magic Pony and SwiftKey are coming up with revolutionary new ways to train machines to do
impressive feats of cognition, from reconstructing facial data from grainy images to learning the writing style of
anindividualusertobetterpredictwhichwordtheyaregoingtotypeinasentence.
Andyet,likeNewcomen,theirinnovationsaresomuchmoreusefultothepeoplewhoactuallyhavecopious
amounts of raw material to work from. And so Magic Pony is acquired by Twitter, SwiftKey is acquired by
Microsoft – and Lawrence himself gets hired by Amazon from the University of Sheffield, where he was based
untilthreeweeksago.
Butthereisacodatothestory:69yearslater,JamesWattmadeanicetweaktotheNewcomensteamengine,
adding a condenser to the design.That change, Lawrence said, “made the steam engine much more efficient, and
that’swhattriggeredtheindustrialrevolution”.
Whether datais oilor coal,then,there’s anotherwaytheanalogyholds up:alotofworkis going intotrying
to make sure we can do more, with less. It’s not as impressive as teaching a computer to play Go or Pac-Man上海最大个人家教平台---【嘉惠家教】

pointsoutLawrence.That’sgreatifyouwanttocategoriseimagesofcats,butlesshelpfulifyouwanttousedeep

The Most Important Thing You’re Not Discussing With Your Doctor
Shared decision making requires you to be an active participant. Politicians and policymakers are discussing
whatpartsoftheAffordableCareActtochange andwhattokeep.While mostofushavelittle controloverthose
discussions,thereisonehealthcaretopicthatwecancontrol:whatwetalkaboutwithourdoctor.
TheInstituteofMedicine(IOM)releasedthelandmarkpublicationCrossingtheQualityChasm15yearsago.
The report proposed six aims for improvement in the U.S. health system, identifying that health care should be
patient-centered,safe,effective,timely,efficientandequitable.
The idea that health care should be patient-centered sounds obvious, but what does that mean? The IOM
definesitascarethatis“respectfulofandresponsivetoindividualpatientpreferences,needs,andvalues”andthat
ensures“patientvaluesguideallclinicaldecisions.”
For this to truly happen, doctors’ appointments need to cover more topics than how one is feeling and what
canbedone.Doesyourdoctorknowyourvalues?
________(67)___________Fewerthanhalfofpeoplereportthattheirphysicianorotherhealthcareprovider
asksabouttheirgoalsandconcernsfortheirhealthandhealthcare.
Your doctor can discuss medical tests and treatments without knowing your life goals, but sharing your
values and needs with your doctor makes discussions and decisions more personalized – and may lead to better
health.
How does patient-centered care happen?
In order for your health care to center around you, your doctor needs to know your values, preferences and
needs. Everyone is different. ________(68)___________As a neurologist, when I’m working with a 76-year-old
widow whose main goal is to remain independent in her home, we frame her care in that context.

When a stressed college student comes to my office for a bothersome tremor, his preference is to avoid

Most of us don’t know why we laugh at some jokes and not at others. Scientists know that we are able to
laugh at birth. Babies begin to laugh at three to four months of age, well before they produce their first words.
Whatscientistsareinterestediniswhywelaugh.
Scientists believe humans laugh with others primarily because it makes us feel connected with one another,
which in turn gives us a sense of trust and comfort. To scientists, laughter is an unconscious reaction;

Studies have proven that when people see or hear something funny, they are 20 times more likely to laugh when
they are with others than when they are alone. Wanting to be accepted by others is part of human nature. And
mirroring other people’s laughter is a way to signal to others that you feel the way they do, which makes us feel
moreconnectedwithoneanother.
