Science Debates : Should children be debarred from watching horror movies?

Children are generally prohibited from watching horror flicks.
Is this prudent in the light of current scientific analysis?

Here is the rationale...

The frontal lobes of the brain that deal with the rationalization of scary situations are also less developed in very young children. This means they may struggle to make sense of their automatic fear responses. Cortisol released during flight-or-fight responses reinforces memories of the event and, without appropriate frontal lobe controls, this can result in the feeling of fear recurring long afterwards. This might explain why children will often have recurring nightmares after watching a scary movie.

Chess blogging - Chessbase is back with a bang !

In view of my keen interest in UI for applications and websites, I feel it necessary to promote an investigation of the new play-chess interface on www.chessbase.com . * It is minimalistic * Allows you to play as Guest * Allows you to choose from different time-controls * Allows you to test your skills vis-a-vis opponents from across the globe Have a look at this interface, that is impressive from a UI developers point-of-view, and very conducive for a chess player to test his wits !  Whoa !  😇😇😇

B Trees🌲🌳🌴 databases and CHESS☺

Binary trees are a specific version of decision trees that have two nodes,one parent and two children, and this concept is used in database programming with relational databases like SQL server for creating in clustered and non clustered indexes. Alpha beta pruning together with B tree searches makeup the basis of chess programming. I have played a program that reached its thought horizon and then had a bizarre response inspite of  having an advantage of one pawn♟️
