Human beings were never born to read, notes Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University and author of Proust and the Squid. Which under normal circumstances will unfold in accordance with a program dictated by our genes, the ability to read must be painstakingly acquired by any individual, unlike the ability to understand and produce spoken language. We need, rather, to show them someplace they’ve never been, a place only deep reading can take them. Notice, their reading is pragmatic and instrumental. On p of that, so it is not reading as many young people are coming to know it. Certainly, we will have deprived them of an elevating and enlightening experience that will enlarge them as people. While molding instruction around their onscreen habits, observing young people’s attachment to digital devices, some progressive educators and permissive parents talk about needing to meet kids where they are. Anyway, frank Kermode calls carnal reading and spiritual reading.If we allow our offspring to believe carnal reading is all look, there’s if we don’t open the door to spiritual reading, through an early insistence on discipline and practice we will have cheated them of an enjoyable, even ecstatic experience they will not otherwise encounter. It’s mistaken. That’s amid the first ‘large scale’ investigations of postmenopausal health among women veterans. As nearly half of the veteran women participants in the Women’s Health Initiative are of ages consistent with eligibility for military service prior to the Vietnam war, now this study represents the only to date to address postmenopausal health and mortality risk among the oldest generation of women veterans living in the day those who served in World War I and the Korean War.Though examination of the mechanistic factors underlying heightened mortality risk among women veteran participants in WHI were beyond the scope of this work, the authors recommend that future research further explore risk factors similar to smoking and specific forms of cancer affecting postmenopausal women veterans.

So it’s our hope that this work will encourage further research efforts that will further deepen our understanding of this unique population of women, they conclude. With that said, this study represents amongst the only to date to address postmenopausal health and mortality risk among the oldest generation of women veterans living in the day those who served in World War I and the Korean War. By the way, the lead author of the study is Julie Weitlauf, Ph, Director of the Women’s Mental Health and Aging Core of the VISN 21 Mental Illness, Research, Education and Clinical Center of the Veterans Administration Palo Alto Health Care System and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. She and her colleagues analyzed data from the Women’s Health Initiative on postmenopausal women 141009 ‘non veterans’ and 3706 veterans who were between ages 50 and 79 when they enrolled. Participants were recruited from 1993 to 1998 at 40 sites around the, and this study uses ‘follow up’ data collected through 2011 with annual questionnaires and medical examinations.
