I don't think so. The JAMA article http://archinte.jamanetwork.co... does look at longitudinal effects but the 25% figure comes from comparing states with and without. From the abstract: States with medical cannabis laws had a 24.8% lower mean annual opioid overdose mortality rate (95% CI, 37.5% to 9.5%; P=.003) compared with states without medical cannabis laws. The common way to statistically analyse the effect of one variable is to model as many variables as the data allows and run a regression to isolate the effect of the target variable. It may be that there are other problems with the study (e.g. correlations between the variables assumed to be independent) but this isn't one of them.
Added to this: low-income people are generally low-income because they don't save their money, but live hand-to-mouth.
May I suggest that causation could be the other way around: Low income people generally live hand-to-mouth and don't save their money because they're low-income people.
Even more impressive is that UV radiation is the spectrum from 10 nm to 400 nm, with extreme UV down the 10nm end. So this at most 2 wavelengths.* It barely gets waving. * TFA didn't have wavelength data.
Given that it is UK, I suspect the 1325 figure uses imperial gallons, which are fatter than US gallons. I couldn't find a figure for the car in culturally-neutral units to confirm. So it may closer to 1100 MP(USG) or 7 Miles/MJ. Your point still stands though.
Common in Australia: gypsum wall sheets (commonly called "gyprock" - a brand name) are 1200 wide, which is close enough to 4 feet. Most building measurements are expressed in millimetres (without "mm" appended). However, since we have only been metric for 45 years, everything is still a multiple of inches and feet rounded to a nice number of mm, which usually means 1 foot = 300mm. So standard truss and stud spacings are 450 or 600, 4x2 timber dressed is 90x45, etc, sheets of board (ply, etc) are usually 2400x1200, and so on.
Seems like there's a long list of benefits in education. Not only will you be less religulous, but you will also not fear death as much and hopefully get a more fullfilling job.
An equally valid conclusion is that absence of fear is good, as it enables people to succeed in education. This conclusion is preferable to that most people are talking about here, as there is a plausible mechanism for it - education usually involves prolonged suffering.

This is reported from an Australian perspective - we have had the plague of standardised tests descend on the Australian system.

1. Allow free speech in advertising claims. (as above)
2. Every claim is understood to have an implicit footnote "This is probably a lie"*
3. Profit**

Gravity doesn't pull. At least get your pedantry right.

Gender theorist: why aren't you asking whether even numbers can be prime too?

I work at a University, teaching Maths across many levels.
Khan's screencasts are nice - patient demos of how to do standard calculations. They are fairly traditional in some ways - 21st century chalk+talk.
They are mostly useful for the "what to do" as even these contain enough of the "why" to put it in context.
They complement what we do in formal classes, so we are happy to informally refer students on to them.
