Education reduces blood pressure

Graduation DayHigher levels of education have been linked to lower blood pressure

Despite exam stress, a long stint in education is good for people’s blood pressure, according to researchers in the US.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is linked to heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.

The study, published in the journal BMC Public Health, shows the link is stronger in women than in men.

The British Heart Foundation said the findings supported the link between deprivation and heart disease risk.

Higher levels of education have been linked to lower levels of heart disease. The researchers suggest that blood pressure could be the reason why.

The study looked at 30 years of data from 3,890 people who were being followed as part of the Framingham Offspring Study.

People were divided into three groups, low education (12 years or less), middle education (13 to 16 years) and high education (17 years or more).

The average systolic blood pressure for the 30 year period was then calculated.

“Action is needed across all parts of society to give children the best possible start in life ”

Women with low education had a blood pressure 3.26 mmHg higher than those with a high level of education. In men the difference was 2.26 mmHg.

Other factors, such as smoking, taking blood pressure medication and drinking, were taken into consideration and the effect on blood pressure remained, although at a much lower level.

Writing in the journal, the researchers says: “Low educational attainment has been demonstrated to predispose individuals to high strain jobs, characterised by high levels of demand and low levels of control, which have been associated with elevated blood pressure.”

Professor Eric Loucks, who conducted the study at Brown University, said: “Women with less education are more likely to be experiencing depression, they are more likely to be single parents, more likely to be living in impoverished areas and more likely to be living below the poverty line.”

Natasha Stewart, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: “These findings support existing evidence about the link between socio-economic deprivation and heart disease risk.

“However, the study only showed up a small blood pressure drop among women and an insignificant decrease among men.

“Action is needed across all parts of society to give children the best possible start in life and reduce health inequalities.”

Young offenders ‘need more help’

PrisonerMore than 4,000 young people were referred to Barnardo’s after they left custody in 2009-10

The government could save money if it put more effort into supporting young offenders leaving custody, a children’s charity has said.

Barnardo’s says children as young as 13 are caught in a cycle of homelessness and reoffending.

It claims the taxpayer could be saved as much as £67,000 per child over three years if they had safe accommodation to go to after release.

The government says councils will be encouraged to do more to help.

More than 4,000 young people were referred to Barnardo’s after they left custody in 2009-10.

The charity says housing is a key concern since many are suffering from depression, have special educational needs and are often sent back to families who cannot cope with them.

Barnardo’s chief executive Anne Marie Carrie said those young people were easy to ignore but “we do so at great cost to their young lives and society”.

“If ever there is a case for return on investment this is it”

Anne Marie Carrie Barnardo’s

Ms Carrie said the government “is on the verge of a self styled ‘rehabilitation revolution’ but there are gaps in the plans”.

“We don’t say this lightly, we are all too aware of the cuts being made across the UK in an effort to fight the effects of the economic crisis we are in, but surely, if ever there is a case for return on investment this is it.”

A government spokesman said it recognised that young people leaving custody were vulnerable.

But he pointed out that local authorities were already obliged to provide safe accomodation and support for young people who cannot live at home or with their relatives.

The Ministry of Justice said it was working on a green paper which would further incentivise councils to achieve reductions in youth offending.

Two Page Web Site Flier

I am looking to advertise am e-book that I have written called Affiliate Traffic Master.
This will be advertised on Clickbank.
I require a two page web site, which I can edit and upload
Page One – will have space for video at the top and sales pitch below. I will supply the pitch but would prefer it to be professionally presented. I will then arrange the video around the pitch.
Page Two – will show an alternative offer – price reduction if customer clicks off first offer.
The web site will be typical of the type currently on click bank under my product related category.
Not looking to spend a fortune – just a very basic site in which I can edit the text.

Create Or Adapt A Piece Of Php Seo Script

A php & MySQL script to create high quality directory style pages designed to feature well in search engine results. Complete with an index and site-map linking the various pages within the directory.

Each new page will be focussed around a specific keyword-phrase supplied in a csv file from the user of the software. This could contain, say, 100 to 1,000 keyword phrases from which the resulting pages will be generated.

Altavista (or equivalent) will be used to pull in and create the search result listings. Each result page will be complimented by a relevant photograph pulled in from a free photo source like Stock.XCHNG (or equivalent).

Each page will also pull in content from a relevant RSS feed related to the keyword-phrase that the page is built around. This RSS information must be displayed as regular HTML for SEO purposes.

Each page will feature a ‘Recommended Resource’ which will allow the user of the script to promote a specific site or product.

The program should use a Cron task in order to build up the website directory over a period of time by referencing the keyword-phrase text file.

The user will be able to set a variety of criteria including:

* The speed of build (i.e. how many extra pages are added to the site each time the Cron task runs).

* Ability for the user to add html templates for the index and results pages in order that no two sites look alike for the search engines. This template could contain Google AdSense script for example, at the user’s discretion.

* Ability to specify how many keywords are used within a website.

* Choice of keyword phrase separator (i.e. dash, underscore, nothing).

I own the rights to a php script which can be used as a basis for all of this and already achieves quite a lot of what is described. It does not currently pull in the photos or RSS feed and requires some tidying up to achieve everything above.

The user experience should be as smooth as possible, particularly in regard to installation and using the script.

Ideas and suggestions of features to improve on this basic concept welcome.

I’ve uploaded an example of the way a results page could look based on the description I’ve provided for this script.

I’ve also uploaded an example of the way the user interface might look in order to create the directory. I own this program and it could be used as a basis for the further programming work required.

Both are contained in the attached ZIP file.
