understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
My third engagement just fell apart and hopes of being a husband and father seem to be slipping away. I have an affinity for news not readily prominently published (RTTM feeds, textbook updates, farmer's almanacs, etc) for various reasons unrelated. I live north of Atlanta and made a career at CNN until a recent tense parting of ways. While on a stroll with my bloodhound I come across a painted birdhouse looking repository of books, about forty titles in all just there to be shared. Surprisingly I find two volumes of a rare featured book titled "Unpublished News and Events" from important years past. I take only one copy and open it at home to find none other than Ted Turner's business card inside with a handwritten note on the back of his card stating "you better work on your story or hurry up and take a wife, life is too short for both." Inside the book jacket on the hard bound outer page the following text is embossed "Trust me, I have tried!"
What a back-and-forth of serendipity! Either near dead Ted hired someone to interfere with the footsteps of my religious stroll with my hound, or I'm just losing my grasp of reality.
The odds seem stacked in favour of my sanity under negligible attack by a formidable adversary, not who is not afor mentioned here to be Lear. He would be wise to remember what happens when good men stand high and do something with themselves in retirement. I'm just like a dog, tortured by mere mention of the word "squirrel", embarrassingly exhausting every bit of energy I've got at my master's beck and call.
