Why Underfunding is Hurting Education
Funding can be a problem when money is not allocated properly. Some areas can get over funded while other areas do not have enough money to provide essential items for their students or participants. Schools can be one of the places that are not able to have enough funding to provide learning resources for students. This can take a toll on parents, teachers, students and even taxpayers. Underfunding can put a stress on the community and can create a lot of tension and fighting if funding issues are not resolved.

How to Get Age-Defying Air
Who says you have to look your age? You could be 40 and look as if you’re still in your 20s, if you really tried. People guess age depending on how youthful your skin and hair look. Keeping your skin young depends on how often you’re using moisturizers and your diet looks. Your hair, on the other hand, is different. As a person’s body ages, some of the hair follicles on the head stop working. This is what you might be experiencing if you notice that you can see the vague outline of your scalp through what’s left of your hair. And as you age, the pigment cells in your hair start to die and become gray, silver, or white. The hair itself might appear limp and thinner than it was. The good news is that there are ways to reduce the damage that your hair takes as your body ages. If you take the right steps, you can have age-defying hair that makes you look 20 years younger.

Quick and Easy Vegan Snacks
Whether you’ve been living a vegan lifestyle for years, or you’re new to the program, you’ve probably noticed one thing--snacks are hard. If we’re honest, we’re not always in the mood for fruits and veggies and nuts when we’re snacking. Sometimes you want something that has the perfect amount of sugar to make you feel like you’re on the edge of feeling guilty about eating something unhealthy (even though the snack is still healthy). Other times, you want something that resembles the taste of a non-vegan product like pizza or cookies. The good news is that there are so many easy and fast vegan snacks that will satisfy every craving that you can ever have without jeopardizing your lifestyle.

Fixing Your Diet
Why is it that some people who down gallons if ice cream, boxes of pizza, cartons of fries, etc., are rail thin with a xylophone rib cage while other people who eat very little still pack on the pounds? Well, your physiology is not just determined by your behavior (what you eat and how you exercise), it is also determined by your genetics. There are over 400 genes that increase susceptibility to obesity. These genes may affect appetite, sense of hunger satiation, metabolism, food cravings, body-fat distribution, and the impulse to curb stress with eating. On a very simple level, your weight depends on the number of calories you consume, how many of those calories you store, and how many you burn up. Thus, your weight—and how easily you gain or lose it—is determined by intermingling factors of both behavior and genetics, both of which you must take into account when you are trying to lose weight. If weight loss is difficult for you, try to be kind to yourself. There is probably more going on than lack of willpower.
