Educated Americans live longer, as others die younger
(Anne Case and Angus Deaton. “Life expectancy in adulthood is falling for
those without a BA degree, but as educational gaps have widened, racial
gaps have narrowed”. PNAS, 2021. Adaptado.)
A 25-year-old American with a university degree can
expect to live almost a decade longer than a contemporary who
dropped out of high school. Although researchers have long
known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education
gap is less well documented — and is especially marked in
rich countries. And whereas the average American’s expected
span has been flat in recent years — and, strikingly, even
fell between 2015 and 2017 — that of the one-third with a
bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.
This disparity in life expectancy is growing, according to
new research published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences. Using data from nearly 50m death
certificates filed between 1990 and 2018, Anne Case and
Angus Deaton of Princeton University analysed differences
in life expectancy by sex, race, ethnicity and education. They
found that the lifespans of those with and without a bachelor’s
degree started to diverge in the 1990s and 2000s. This gap grew even wider in the 2010s as the life expectancy of
degree-holders continued to rise while that of other Americans
got shorter.
What is the link between schooling and longevity? Some
argue that better-educated people develop healthier lifestyles:
each additional year of study reduces the chances of being a
smoker and of being overweight. The better-educated earn
more, which in turn is associated with greater health. Ms
Case and Mr Deaton argue that changes in labour markets,
including the rise of automation and increased demand for
highly-educated workers, coupled with the rising costs of
employer-provided health care, have depressed the supply
of well-paid jobs for those without a degree. This may be
contributing to higher rates of alcohol and drug use, suicide
and other “deaths of despair”.

ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE - British author
By Philip K. Wilson
Arthur Conan Doyle, in full Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, (born May 22, 1859, Edinburgh, Scotland—died July 7, 1930, Crowborough, Sussex, England), Scottish writer best known for his creation of the detective Sherlock Holmes — one of the most vivid and enduring characters in English fiction.
Conan Doyle began seven years of Jesuit education in Lancashire, England, in 1868. After an additional year of schooling in Feldkirch, Austria, Conan Doyle returned to Edinburgh. Through the influence of Dr. Bryan Charles Waller, his mother’s lodger, he prepared for entry into the University of Edinburgh’s Medical School. He received Bachelor of Medicine and Master of Surgery qualifications from Edinburgh in 1881 and an M.D. in 1885 upon completing his thesis, “An Essay upon the Vasomotor Changes in Tabes Dorsalis.” While a medical student, Conan Doyle was deeply impressed by the skill of his professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, in observing the most minute detail regarding a patient’s condition. (01)___. Other aspects of Conan Doyle’s medical education and experiences appear in his semiautobiographical novels, The Firm of Girdlestone (1890) and The Stark Munro Letters (1895), and in the collection of medical short stories Round the Red Lamp (1894).

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE STUDY HISTORY
When most of us think back to our childhood school days, we can also remember at least a handful of kids who thought history class was a drag. To (1) them, history just seemed like a jumble of names and dates attached to events long over with and people long dead. What was the point of learning (2) it at all?
They didn’t know then that history was one of the most important subjects they’d ever study. Here we’ll take a closer look at why history is important and explore why everyone should make it a point to study it in depth.
History helps us understand ourselves.
To understand who you are, you need to develop a sense of self. A large part of that is learning where you fit into the story of your country or the global community in the grand scheme of things. History tells you the story of how your nation, city, or community came to be everything that it is. It tells you where your ancestors came from and tells you who (3) they were. Most importantly of all, it gives you the ability to spot (and appreciate) the legacies you may have inherited from (4) them.

MUSIC AND HEALTH
Music is a fundamental attribute of the human species. Virtually all cultures, from the most primitive to the most advanced, make music. It's been true through history, and it's true throughout an individual's lifespan. In tune or not, we humans sing and hum; in time or not, we clap and sway; in step or not, we dance and bounce.
The human brain and nervous system are hard-wired to distinguish music from noise and to respond to rhythm and repetition, tones and tunes. Is this a biologic accident, or does it serve a purpose? It's not possible to say. Still, a varied group of studies suggests that music may enhance human health and performance.
Music and the mind
The most highly publicized mental influence of music is the "Mozart effect." Struck by the observation that many musicians have unusual mathematical ability, researchers at the University of California, Irvine, investigated how listening to music affects cognitive function in general, and spatialtemporal reasoning in particular. In their first study, they administered standard IQ test questions to three groups of college students, comparing those who had spent 10 minutes listening to a Mozart piano sonata with a group that had been listening to a relaxation tape and one that had been waiting in silence. Mozart was the winner, consistently boosting test scores. Next, the investigators checked to see if the effect was specific to classical music or if any form of music would enhance mental performance. They compared Mozart's music with repetitive music by Philip Glass; again, Mozart seemed to help, improving spatial reasoning as measured by complex paper cutting and folding tasks and short-term memory as measured by a 16-item test.
