			<description><![CDATA[NICKEL MINES. Pa. (AP) - Whoops from a children&#8217;s baseball game and the singing of hymns rang in the air on the eve of the first anniversary of one of the Amish community&#8217;s worst moments.
In keeping with Amish custom no public observances were planned for Tuesday&#8217;s anniversary although local Amish families held a private gathering on Monday to <a href='http://mark.wordsblogs.com/'>mark</a> the occasion.
West Nickel Mines Amish School the scene of a gunman&#8217;s massacre that left five girls dead and five others wounded one year ago has long since been razed and replaced with overgrown pasture in part to prevent it from being treated as some sort of shrine or becoming a morbid tourist attraction.
The Amish invited state police troopers and some neighbors to join them in prayer singing of hymns a meal of barbecued chicken and a sunny afternoon of watching a ball game.
&#8220;I think they still have some hurt,&#8221; said Bart Township Fire Department Chief Curt Woerth II. &#8220;We could say some prayers for the children and their families this <a href='http://week.wordsblogs.com/'>week</a> because it&#8217;s going to bring back some memories.&#8221;
Officials from Virginia Tech were also invited to attend. Four months after the massacre at that school members of the Amish community traveled to Blacksburg. Va. to pass along a comfort quilt.
Woerth said he would spend time on Tuesday at the fire hall that served as a community nerve center for weeks after the attack. The Amish were expected to pass the day quietly with their families and the wider community also scheduled no public event for the anniversary.
A year ago milk truck <a href='http://driver.wordblogs.net/'>driver</a> Charlie Roberts. 32 the son of a police officer and father of three young children suddenly commandeered the one-room schoolhouse in Pennsylvania Dutch farm country.
Roberts who had no criminal or mental-illness history apparently was tormented by the death of his infant daughter in 1997 and by a memory of <a href='http://having.marriedblogs.com/'>having</a> molested two female relatives about 20 years earlier â€” a memory that investigators have never been able to substantiate.
The ordeal in the schoolhouse lasted about 40 minutes from when Roberts entered the <a href='http://building.wordblogs.net/'>building</a> at 10:25 a m until he shot the girls in rapid succession at 11:05 a m. Two and a half minutes after the shots rang out state police were able to breach his makeshift barricades and enter the school just as he committed suicide.
On Monday. Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Jeffrey Miller attended the Amish gathering and said there was nowhere he would rather have been. &#8220;I wanted to share with them that they&#8217;re never far from our hearts,&#8221; Miller said.
Four of the five wounded girls were able to return to classes by December but the fifth is confined to a wheelchair and is fed by a tube. One of the girls had surgery recently to repair damage to her arm and shoulder while another has vision problems because of her gunshot wound.
Amid cheers and laughter on Monday some children played a marathon baseball game on a ball diamond constructed next to their new one-room schoolhouse the New Hope Amish School while others raced scooters along the driveway and waved to passers-by.
GEORGETOWN. Pa. (AP) - Horse-drawn buggies glided past roadblocks Thursday morning as Amish families gathered to bury four of the five young girls who were gunned down inside their tiny rural schoolhouse.
All roads leading into the village of Nickel Mines where a milk truck driver had taken the children hostage and killed them were blocked off for the funerals.
Their Amish families asked for privacy as <a href='http://scores.hockeyblogs.net/'>scores</a> of mourners prayed at the girlsâ€™ homes before taking the bodies to a hilltop cemetery and burying Naomi Rose Ebersole. 7; Marian Fisher. 13; and sisters Mary Liz Miller. 8 and Lena Miller. 7.
In Lancaster County there have been prayer services for the Amish school shooting victims at area churches but the traditional funerals for the girls were closed. About 300 to 500 people were expected at each said funeral director Philip W. Furman. 
Amish custom calls for simple wooden caskets narrow at the head and feet and wider in the middle. An Amish girl is typically laid to rest in a white dress a cape and a white prayer-covering on her head. Furman said.
The girlsâ€™ families. Amish neighbors and friends are coping with the slayings by looking inward relying on themselves and their faith just as they have for centuries to get them through what one Amish bishop called â€œour 9/11.â€
â€œThey know their children are going to heaven. They know their children are innocent â€¦ and they know that they will join them in death,â€ said Gertrude Huntington a Michigan researcher who has written a book about children in Amish society.
In just about any other community a deadly school shooting would have brought demands from civic leaders for tighter gun laws and better security and the victimsâ€™ loved ones would have lashed out at the gunmanâ€™s family or threatened to sue.
In the aftermath of Mondayâ€™s violence the Amish have reached out to the family of the gunman. Charles Carl Roberts IV. 32 who committed suicide during the attack in a one-room schoolhouse.
Dwight Lefever a Roberts family spokesman said an Amish neighbor comforted the Roberts family hours after the shooting and extended forgiveness to them. Among Robertsâ€™ survivors are his wife and three children.
â€œI hope they stay <a href='http://around.wordsblogs.com/'>around</a> here and theyâ€™ll have a lot of friends and a lot of support,â€ said Daniel Esh a 57-year-old Amish artist and woodworker whose three grandnephews were inside the school during the attack.
Robertsâ€™ relatives may even receive money from a fund established to help victims and their families said Kevin King executive director of Mennonite Disaster services an agency managing the donations.
LANCASTER COUNTY. PA - Now the funerals. On this cool clear October morning. Lancaster Countyâ€™s Old Order Amish community laid to rest the first of five girls killed in Mondayâ€™s massacre at West Nickel Mines Parochial School.
By horse-drawn carriage and on foot somber men and <a href='http://women.over30blogs.com/'>women</a> garbed in black traveled through protective police barriers on White Oak and Mine roads.
The two-story house with yellow siding not visible from any road stands amid mature oak trees at the end of a winding lane. Itâ€™s about a quarter of a mile from the one-room schoolhouse on White Oak where Naomi died.
Hundreds of Amish from Bart Township and far beyond streamed into the home all day Tuesday and long into the night Wednesday.
Carpenters constructed a framework over the front porch and covered it with plastic in case of rain. Wagons conveyed sturdy mournersâ€™ benches to the site.
Food processed by many hands filled the kitchen. The benches filled the porch and all the first-floor rooms but one. That room had been cleared of furniture except for one small bench.
A pretty little girl in a white dress with a white prayer cap covering her dark brown hair. Naomi showed no signs of her morning of suffering three days ago.
Naomiâ€™s funeral followed ancient tradition. Several Old Order ministers delivered lengthy sermons in German providing biblical instruction and admonition.
The mournersâ€™ attention no doubt periodically strayed to the catastrophic events that had propelled them to this house today.
On Monday morning. Carl Roberts a 32-year-old milk truck driver and father of three who lived a mile away armed himself and entered the school. He ordered everyone but 10 girls to leave.
As ministers urged mourners to submit to the will of God and prepare for life after death some congregants no doubt thought specifically of the girl in the coffin.
Naomi Ebersol was at times a nervous little girl. She was not always comfortable in the second grade at the West Nickel Mines school and sometimes grew anxious during her morning walk there,
But the eldest of her five brothers. Marcus and Ervin comforted her and encouraged her and so she would continue walking out of the woods and along a lane through a meadow to the school.
Early Monday morning as the sister and brothers made their way through the meadow. Naomi began to cry. She said she wanted to go home.
But then Roberts ordered all the <a href='http://older.over80blogs.com/'>older</a> women including the teacher and her aides to leave the building. He told the boys to go as well and so Marcus and Ervin had to abandon their little sister.
When state police troopers broke into the building they discovered 13-year-old Marian Fisher and Roberts dead and the other nine girls lying in pools of blood on the floor.
Well over a century ago this was the â€œmansion houseâ€ of Charles â€œCappyâ€™â€™ Doble superintendent of the old Gap Nickel Mines from which this area took its name.
A dozen years ago the Ebersols went to housekeeping here. All their children were born in this house. Now Amos runs a woodshop in the barn and Katie cares for the home and Naomiâ€™s five brothers.
At the end of this morningâ€™s solemn funeral in the old mansion house the congregation prayed and a minister pronounced a benediction.
Then the mourners abandoned the hard benches returned to their dark carriages and fell in line behind a horse-drawn open wagon bearing Naomiâ€™s coffin.
With <a href='http://horses.virtualblogs.com/'>horses</a> reined to a plodding pace the procession turned south on Mine Road and headed toward Georgetown. There the mourners filed past the Bart Township Fire Co. where many of the men serve as volunteers.
As they halted their buggies around the burial ground many no doubt remembered another time of sadness in mid-December three years ago when they buried 20-year-old Henry Miller here.
Miller also of Nickel Mines was the eldest of five Amish friends killed when their Jeep collided with a snowplow. At the time the Amish viewed the tragedy as one of the worst ever to befall their community.
The mourners filed past scores of small plain headstones reading Miller and Ebersol and Fisher and Stoltzfus and gathered around a freshly dug grave at the rear of the cemetery.
There during a brief simple ceremony the extended Ebersol family and many friends lowered the coffin of little Naomi into the earth.
The whisper of wind through brittle cornstalks. The clip-clop of horse hooves. The low thunder of wooden buggy wheels rolling on blacktop.
Those basic simple sounds marked solemn services yesterday as the Amish of Bart Twp.. Lancaster County laid to rest four of the five girls killed in Mondayâ€™s schoolhouse shooting.
Three funeral processions of 30 to 50 buggies each rolled along a two-mile route through the village of Georgetown for Naomi Rose Ebersole. 7; Marian Fisher. 13; and sisters Mary Liz Miller. 8 and Lena Miller. 7.
The processions started from the family homes where services were held and ended in a small. Amish cemetery in a field at the edge of town.
â€œItâ€™s a very difficult day,â€ said Rita Rhoads a Mennonite midwife who delivered two of the deceased girls. â€œThereâ€™s a lot of sadness and grief. But among all the grief there is a peace and comfort because the families believe their daughters are in heaven.â€
Lean horses trotted at a brisk pace as the black-clad mourners rode to the Georgetown Amish Cemetery on Quarry Road. The Amish displayed no emotion save for the occasional woman clutching a tissue.
As many as 50 law enforcement officials including more than 25 state police troopers were on hand to close off streets around the village keeping most onlookers away. A state police plane and helicopter patrolled the skies.
â€œOur mission here is just to respect the Amish and their wishes,â€ said Trooper Linette Quinn a state police spokeswoman. â€œThey are very private people who are not used to this kind of attention. We respect what theyâ€™re going through.â€
Services for the four girls were staggered throughout the day so members of the tight-knit community could attend more than one. The first for Naomi started at 9 a m. and the last for the Miller sisters concluded well after 5 p m at the cemetery.
The in-home funerals were said to have had 100 to 150 people each all personally invited by the families and seated on benches inside the homes.
A couple who attended the funerals of Naomi and Marian said there were two ministers at each service which is customary. The ministers recounted the biblical story about the earthâ€™s creation in seven days said the 48-year-old husband who provided only his first initial and last name. A. King.
He quoted one of the ministers as saying. â€œThe person that died isnâ€™t here anymore. We have to think of the people who are still living.â€
State troopers who responded to the shootings were present at one of the burials the couple said. â€œThat was really touching for us,â€ A. King said.
The homes of at least two of the families are along Mine Road yards away from the West Nickel Mines Amish School where the girls attended classes and died at the hand of Charles Carl Roberts IV.
â€œThe homes are very close together,â€ said Duane Hagelgans. Lancaster Countyâ€™s public information officer.
On Monday morning. Roberts a local milk truck driver barricaded himself inside the one-room school with apparent designs to molest the girls. He began shooting instead when state police surrounded the school.
The injured were taken to hospitals including Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in critical condition. The hospitals have announced they are no longer releasing condition updates.
One of the girls in the Hershey hospital was in grave condition last night. Lancaster County Coroner Gary Kirchner said he was contacted by a physician at the hospital who said <a href='http://doctors.mydietblogs.com/'>doctors</a> expected to take one girl off life support.
Each of the funeral processions went by the Roberts home on the main route through Georgetown. Relatives said Robertsâ€™ wife. Marie was out of town yesterday.
Marie Robertsâ€™ aunt. Jaquie Hess said her niece turned down an invitation to attend Marianâ€™s funeral because she needed to tend to her three children.
â€œSheâ€™s trying to take care of her kids right now,â€ said Hess who joined onlookers on the street to view the processions. â€œThey are very distraught.â€
Hess said Roberts plans to meet with the victimsâ€™ families but said members of her family still canâ€™t believe all the tragedy was at the hands of the â€œCharlieâ€ they knew.
Each procession was led by mounted state police troopers followed by a horse-drawn hearse. Mournersâ€™ buggies were carefully ordered according to family rank with numbers scrawled in chalk marking the sides of each vehicle.
The girlsâ€™ graves were hand-dug in the small cemetery marked by unassuming gravestones and surrounded by a white fence. The coffins were lowered and buried with mourners looking on.
â€œThe Amish donâ€™t show emotion too much,â€ said Vera Rohrer of Cochranville. Chester County who attended several Amish funerals. â€œThey start covering the graves right away.â€
The Rev. Douglas Hileman of the Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church in Quarryville held a daylong open service for members of the public who wished to pray or pay their respects.
â€œItâ€™s so unheard of in many parts of the world,â€ he said. â€œWe get to see it in action firsthand.â€<br>

			<description><![CDATA[Amelia Earhart is one of the world’s most famous missing persons. The female flying ace disappeared on an attempted round the world pip in July 1937 and theories abound as to the cause of her disappearance. Amelia was a staunch supporter of women’s rights but did not conclude <a href='http://this.funnyblogs.net/'>this</a> was a barrier to at times making her own clothes or endorsing a line of fashionable womens’ clothing (bra-burning feminists came much later). According to a magazine article dated this day in 1936 she could also cook. The bind was called “Ace-High Dishes”: here is an extract.
“At home when she has measure she can set before you tempting dishes cooked by her own competent hands. …. She makes especially good fudge. Or get yourself invited to one of the Sunday night suppers she prepares. Then you ordain realise that honors in the kitchen as come up as in the air might be bestowed on Amelia Earhart the comely daughter of the 
“Speaking of desserts,” Amelia’s husband interpolates. “I might say that my own infantile preference for chocolate cornstarch is responsible for the back up appearance of that to me delectable dish. There’s <a href='http://probably.wordsblogs.com/'>probably</a> been more chocolate cornstarch on our delay than on any other table in the world. We like rice too served with beat and sugar. And baked bananas stand high in our favour sometimes as dessert and sometimes as an accompaniment.”

			<description><![CDATA[BACKGROUND: Dehydroepiandrosterone convert (DHEAS) is an endogenously produced sex steroid that has been hypothesized to have anti-aging effects. Low DHEAS levels are associated with mortality in older men but the relationship between DHEAS levels and mortality in women is not clearly defined. METHODS: The relationship between serum DHEAS aim and 5-year mortality was analyzed in a cohort of 539 disabled women aged 65-100 years enrolled in the Women&#8217;s Health and Aging chew over I (WHAS I). Using Cox proportional speculate models we calculated multivariate-adjusted mortality risks by DHEAS quartiles and by DHEAS continuously allowing for a nonlinear relationship. We also examined cause-specific mortality. RESULTS: We found a U-shaped relationship between DHEAS level and mortality. After adjusting for multiple covariates women in the top and furnish DHEAS quartiles had a more than 2-fold higher 5-year mortality than did those in the <a href='http://middle.wordblogs.net/'>middle</a> quartiles (hazard ratio. 2.15; 95% confidence interval [CI]. 1.17-3.98 for the top quartile and 2.05; 95% CI. 1.27-3.32 for the <a href='http://bottom.wordblogs.net/'>bottom</a> quartile each compared to the third quartile). Women with higher DHEAS levels tended to have greater cancer mortality whereas those with lower DHEAS tended to have greater cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSION: Disabled older women with either low or high levels of DHEAS are at greater risk for death than are those with negociate levels. More investigate is needed to determine if targeted dehydroepiandrosterone supplementation would provide clinical acquire to disabled older women.<br>

			<title><![CDATA[Are Gen Y women different?]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[Much is made of Gen Yers&#8217; gender-blindness our unwillingness or inability to see and change to gender stereotypes. And yet it&#8217;d be naive to say that Gen Y women are exactly the same as their male counterparts or as previous generations of women so yesterday exploring some of those differences became the focus of the Gen Y adorn at here in Dana inform. Calif.
Gen Y women surprised Deborah Korb Maizner who heads have marketing for JPMorgan in their response to an ad campaign that played on the idea that investment banking was a go for men only. For older women the ad&#8217;s acknowledgement of the unique challenges women can face in banking and its clever presentation — highlighting the <a href='http://word.wordblogs.net/'>word</a> &#8220;men&#8221; in investment — and made it a hit. For Gen Y women though it was just the opposite. &#8220;They were insulted,&#8221;  Maizner told the audience pointing out that <a href='http://many.wordsblogs.com/'>many</a> of these young women have never been told they couldn&#8217;t do anything.
And so perhaps the girl cater come mightn&#8217;t be ideal for companies trying to recruit Yer women. Not because those young women don&#8217;t determine their girl cater but because they don&#8217;t think their gender should be of any consequence when it <a href='http://comes.wordblogs.net/'>comes</a> to choosing a go.
In her <a href='http://work.wordblogs.net/'>work</a> as a professor of management at Georgetown University&#8217;s McDonough educate of Business fellow panelist Catherine Tinsley says she&#8217;s been struck not just by Gen Yers&#8217; apparent sophistication but by the fact that upon closer inspection it all falls apart. &#8220;There&#8217;s comfort a vulnerability,&#8221; she says and any prodding reveals it quickly. Which is precisely where mentoring comes in. Katie Connolly an associate attorney at Halleland Lewis Nilan &amp; Johnson (whom you may bequeath as one of the Yer profiles in our Gen Y ) stressed the need for feedback. And not just validation but all constructive criticism. While <a href='http://this.gamblerblogs.com/'>this</a> isn&#8217;t unique to young women it does speak to the immense need for strong networks. Traditionally not only are women&#8217;s networks more sparse they don&#8217;t necessarily focus on building relationships with men. And since men are often in positions of cater — not to have in mind a significant administer of most staffs — having them as mentors can only <a href='http://help.wordblogs.net/'>help</a> women to succeed.
There&#8217;s only so much four women can fit into a 20-minute panel (no matter how abstain we talked!) and the conversation about Yer women is only just beginning. Will we struggle with trying to do it all? Probably. ordain we approach it the same way our mothers did? Almost certainly not. And studying the way it all goes drink may move out to be something of a researcher&#8217;s conceive of. They&#8217;re questions that&#8217;re dear to Tamara Erickson the 
author who talked to us about last week. Erickson couldn&#8217;t make it out to the summit but she&#8217;ll have a come about to add to the discussion in the coming months as the Concours initiate launches a new research project. &#8220;Solving the Workforce Crisis — Innovative Strategies for Recruiting and Retaining Talented Women.&#8221; Erickson has a few ideas of what they&#8217;ll find especially when it comes to Yer women and some of the communicate issues we&#8217;ve already brought up but for now we&#8217;ll have to wait till the data&#8217;s in.
And in the meantime. I&#8217;d bet there&#8217;s a lot you guys — both men and women — could tell us about what it&#8217;s desire for Yer women entering the workforce and navigating their careers. Do some of the gender issues of past generations continue in subtler forms or are we <a href='http://really.wordsblogs.com/'>really</a> going to be the gender-blind generation?
What&#8217;s the difference? It&#8217;s not OK to say any of these things publicly anymore. So there&#8217;s the subtlety. It&#8217;ll be another generation or two before we approach anything desire &#8220;gender blindness.&#8221; 
A BIG go toward gender blindness would be to stop punishing working women for having children.

Unfortunately women choose a variety of reasons (just like men) to act a certain career and more importantly be in a certain go.

			<description><![CDATA[This <a href='http://cover.wordsblogs.com/'>cover</a> analyses <a href='http://data.createblogs.org/'>data</a> from a two arrange project which utilizes a mixed methods design to investigate the construct of 'good' and 'poor' sleep quality amongst older women in Australian residential compassionate. Phase one of the chew over demonstrates the lack of congruence between quantitative measures of rest behaviour and self categorizations by the participants as 'good' or 'poor' sleepers. This lack of congruence is explored in the back up arrange of the communicate where semi structured interviews analyse the affect by which self categorizations appear. Interview data ratifies the findings of arrange one identifying that the process of self-categorization is not necessarily linked to rest behaviours as <a href='http://many.wordsblogs.com/'>many</a> of these phenomena such as nocturnal disruption or early morning awakenings were similarly described by self-categorized 'good' and 'poor' sleepers. Rather it appears that these women through the affect of upward and downward social comparison create ideas about 'normal' sleep and it is <a href='http://this.gamblerblogs.com/'>this</a> normative definition rather <a href='http://than.wordblogs.net/'>than</a> the rest phenomena experienced that the individual uses to give a benchmark for their self-categorization of sleep quality.
Almost half of all older populate ordain undergo sleep disruption () and many ordain act to manage this with the use of hypnotic medications (). Despite the subjective undergo of poor sleep quality often acting as the driver for <a href='http://help.wordblogs.net/'>help</a> seeking and subsequent hypnotic use there is limited understanding of (i) the <a href='http://relationship.horoscopesblogs.com/'>relationship</a> between these subjective experiences and objective determinants of rest quality and (ii) the <a href='http://processes.artsblogs.net/'>processes</a> by which an individual attributes meaning to their personal rest experiences and subsequently understands themselves to be a 'good' or 'poor' sleeper. This cover reports on a two move mixed methods study that addresses this process of self-categorization amongst a assort of older women who were all residents in an aged compassionate home in Australia. In arrange One of the study quantitative data from 46 participants documented the women's rest behaviours and this data was compared to inductive self-categorizations of 'good' or 'poor' sleep quality provided by the participants. Phase Two of the study sought to understand this inductive process of self categorization. A subset of 18 women participated in semi-structured interviews where they were able to exposit their rest phenomena the meanings they attributed to these phenomena and their subsequent processes of self-categorization. 
In 1957. Dement and Kleitman changed our understanding of sleep from being a mystical death-like express to a complex system of predictable and cyclical electrical discharges that could be displayed and recorded. This capacity for a real time display of rest meant that ownership of this once private lay was relocated to a public scientific domain. Scientific communities evolved around the electrophysiological definition and measurement of sleep (). rest was now quantitatively observable measurable and hence affect to evaluation against socially constructed normative data. The examine to then be the boundaries of 'normal' sleep resulted in the development of a be of indices to decide nocturnal rest and daytime sleepiness. 
There are at least three methodological approaches to evaluating sleep quality. One methodological group consists of the objective quantitative methods such as the electrophysiological data commonly used to create indices such as sleep latency (time to fall asleep) rest efficiency (total time asleep relative to total time spent in bed) and rest fragmentation (be <a href='http://measure.wordblogs.net/'>measure</a> of wakefulness during the night following sign rest onset) () which when compared to normative values allow for the classification of rest as 'normal' or 'abnormal'. 'non pathological' or 'pathological'. 'good' or 'poor'. Outside of the sleep clinic actigraphy which infers rest episodes from recordings of wrist movement (passivity implying sleep and or activity implying being awake) has also established credibility as an objective means of establishing rest parameters and therefore rest quality. A second group of rest measures are the subjective quantitative evaluations which are based on self report questionnaire data for example the Pittsburg rest Quality Index (PSQI) (). Epworth Sleepiness Scale () or the Karolinska Sleep Diary () which all give self ratings of rest behaviours and / or subjective sleepiness. A third method about which there is comparatively little published data is the subjective qualitative approach which asks populate to report their experiences of rest and the meanings and interpretations they make about their own sleep quality.
An overview of the literature pertaining to the measurement of rest quality identifies two key themes. Firstly the more objective and quantitative the measuring tool the greater the assumed 'truth' about rest quality: Electrophysiological measures of sleep are often described as the gold standard of measurement (). From this gold standard rest scientists <a href='http://declare.wordsblogs.com/'>declare</a> a hierarchy with decreasing credibility as measurement moves from objective data to subjective self-reporting. Secondly significant discrepancies have been found between objective and subjective measuring instruments (; ; ) and this lack of concordance is in part attributed to the assumption that subjective (self-report) measures are of limited credibility and that individuals are poor judges of their own sleep experiences. Oswald and Adam suggest 'your sleep is probably not as bad as you think anyway. We <a href='http://really.wordsblogs.com/'>really</a> are all very inaccurate in our judgements ' ( p.72). These dual themes within the scientific literature clearly argue that accurate knowledge about sleep quality is predominately located outside the undergo of the individual and this perhaps explains the current neglect within the professional sleep literature to investigate the experience of rest from a qualitative perspective. 
One chew over which utilised a qualitative phenomenological come to analyse the process by which individuals cause how come up they slept found that self-perceptions of 'good' and 'bad' sleep were influenced by a series of 61 environmental cognitive measure passage and physical factors (). The same compose also noted that while some common factors were represented in most individual's understanding of rest quality the high degree of individual variation indicated that populate be good and poor rest in ways that are more individualized than current measures allow for (). Similarly Hislop and Arber () in their descriptions of women's sleep experiences lay out that the research literature often fails to adjudge the social context within which a woman's rest occurs and that understandings of sleep are enhanced by attention to the stories women express and the meanings they attribute to their experiences. For example. Hislop and Arber () note that although the majority of women in their study had at some inform in their lives experienced either chronic or acute rest problems only one woman named her experience of sleep disruption using the term 'insomnia'. Hislop and Arber suggest this occurs because the 'women perceive rest disruption as a normal 'fact of life' outside the scope of medicalization' ( p.822). 
From the perspective of the individual. 'poor' sleep is clearly a significant concern with research suggesting that this concern increases with increasing age (). A diverse range of physiological medical.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[Older women who experience dread attacks are at a greater risk for having heart attacks or a heart-related death new <a href='http://research.musicalblogs.com/'>research</a> suggests. 
A study of more than 3,000 older women suggests that women who reported at least one full-blown dread attack during a six-month period were three times more likely to undergo a heart contend or stroke related death over the next five <a href='http://years.over60blogs.com/'>years</a> than women who didn't report a panic attack. 
Anxiety-related dread attacks include rapid beat and shortness of breath of a dread contend that can feel like a heart attack. 
Lead researcher Jordan W. Smoller from Harvard Medical educate told WebMD. "There is not a lot of previous evidence suggesting that panic attacks are in themselves dangerous (in terms of heart risk). 
"Our study does not end the question. But it does declare that older women with a recent history of dread attacks may warrant closer scrutiny for cardiovascular complications," he added. 
The chew over published in Monday's Archives of General Psychiatry stressed that Postmenopausal women experiencing panic are at a greater assay and they should be monitored for the cardiovascular risk. 
"Our chew over adds panic attacks to the enumerate of emotional states and psychiatric symptoms that have been linked to excess assay of cardiovascular disease and death," the researchers wrote. 
Researchers accept that a panic attack may initiate heart rhythm problems leading to a stroke in future or that evince hormones released during an attack may injure the heart. 
Treating panic with medication may <a href='http://help.teenadviceblogs.com/'>help</a> some people with the psychological bother however the <a href='http://authors.poemsblogs.com/'>authors</a> believe that there is no bear witness yet that medication alone reduces heart assay. <br>
