Doh! The kitten thing was just a joke!
Next they will be telling us there is no real science behind the new viewing procedures at YouTube!!
The damned and the dumb.
According to this BBC News story nobody never learns nothing after they leave school. But judging by the quality of the BBC report…
it is already known that dementia is less likely in people who been (sic) educated for longer.
Previous research has shown that education is beneficial because it increases the number of neural connections in the brain.
…the original Cambridge report probably does not say any such thing. On the other hand it may, possibly. As Dr David Llewellyn himself says:
exposure to secondhand smoke may be associated with increased odds of cognitive impairment.
I suppose it may; or it may not. Tricky stuff this scientific research. Could we at least conclude with some certainty that someone’s research funding is due for renewal?
The Revolution Run Around – Guess the number
I have been messing around with the Revolution software which is generally pretty neat but occasionally deeply frustrating – which is not necessarily a bad thing. It is based on Apple’s old [W:Hypercard] so I had some inkling of how it would/should work but the documentation (as is often the way with such things) can leave you wandering around in a circle, so close and yet so far, but the support forums are very, erm, supportive so I did manage to put together (and finish!) a (very) simple guess the number game to see how it all fits together.
The Revolution software does generate versions of your creations for some other non-Mac computers but I do not know if they actually work (the alternate versions not the other computers 😉 )
Download the Linux version or the Mac OS X Version or the Windows version.
Perhaps I need a separate page to document my explorations…
