...in their region, and were given the power to tax in order to fund school development. According to Maher, Skidmore and Statz (2007) it was decided that the school districts should be funded through local property taxes, which presented further challenges. This created a heavy reliance on local property taxes, leading to frustration for taxpayers. The second major challenge was that all districts were different in size and demographic, therefore this created a disparity between districts in their ability to raise money through taxes. The state was forced to provide financial aid due to the inequity in dollars that could be raised between districts. The state set up financial aid, the Common School Fund or Library Aid. Maher et al. (2007) state that, “Initially, this support was provided to every school in the form of a flat amount of aid per pupil. This original aid, the Common School Fund or Library Aid, had as its purpose to support...

...There are four different dietary fats as defined by the American Heart Association website. They are as follows polyunsaturated fats, monounsaturated fats, transfats, and saturated fats each with physical and chemical structures that differ from each other. Pretty big words, and for most of us words that have little or meaning unless we take the time to research what they mean and how they affect our health and wellness. First the healthy fats and what mean to our diet. Polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats tend to be in the form of a liquid and can be beneficial, just as everything is nowadays if taken in moderation. They can help lower LDL or bad cholesterol levels. The unhealthy fats are saturated fats and transfats are most of time solids. These fats which opposed to healthy fats raise LDL or bad cholesterol levels which can lead to some pretty significant diseases. Diseases associated with fats can harmful if you do not understand what can happen if you consume too much of them. Eating large quantities of saturated or transfats leads to obesity which in turn can lead to stroke, heart disease, and even diabetes, something we never want to experience, so it’s important to learn the facts. There are many more diseases associated with the amount of fat you eat and how it relates to your body. Heart disease, stroke, diabetes are all types of diseases that we associate without hesitation, but cancer, gall bladder disease, fatty liver disease, and sleep...

...both companies have done. They also offer incentives in order to compete with their identical loan structures. While both of them can be seen as traditional banks, they have moved their student loan services and other lending options online putting them in-line with other competitive “online lenders” to compete for their own share of the market and gain a competitive advantage. Online lenders compete in the market by taking several factors into consideration. These factors include but are not limited to cost of capital, customer service, and regulation. According to an article in the Huffington Post, the former administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration Karen Gordon Mills “showed the relative strengths and weaknesses of banks vs. online lenders.” (1). Within the article is a table assessing the competitive advantages of traditional banks and online lenders. The highlighted advantages for traditional banks include “low cost capital from deposits, costly personal underwriting or reliance on FICO scores, large pool of existing customers, (and it’s) heavily regulated, (while pros for online lenders included) streamlined online application, response within minute or days, new credit algorithms, largely unregulated except at state level and by SEC.”...

...2012 National Research Report Why Did They Enroll? The Factors Influencing College Choice An analysis of traditional-aged students What matters to students when deciding where to enroll? There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s decision to enroll. Factors such as cost and the availability of financial aid are universally important at all types of institutions. However, other factors can vary widely by institution type, demographics, class level, and whether the student enrolled at his or her top choice. Every year, hundreds of campuses administer the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory™ (SSI) to their students. In addition to more than 70 items rated for importance and satisfaction on the general student experience, the SSI includes nine items that address factors in a student’s decision to enroll. During the fall of 2011, more than 55,000 students from more than 100 public and private fouryear and two-year institutions completed the SSI. These students rated the factors to enroll items on a scale of one (meaning not important at all) to seven (very important). This report details the responses from the nationwide pool of data. In particular, this report has a special emphasis on the nearly 22,000 first-year students who responded in order to see which items scored higher with ratings of important or very important (a ranking of six or seven on the answer scale). Comparisons with upperclass students and between students at their first-choice institution...

...Social Problems Chupical Shollah Manuel HIV is a long term social problem in most underdeveloped countries. This takes us directly beyond the epidemiological aspects of the disease to the social and economic dimensions. Many social studies have revealed that HIV and AIDS is fast becoming a social cancer and it can be understood if one was to assess the social structure and the availability of resources in the society. The most affected persons are those who live in the lower strata of the social stratification due to inequalities that comes with social structure. This paper serves to explain that HIV and AIDS is a social problem of poverty and it also looks at other factors such as religion, promiscuity and child rights which also result in the spread of the disease. It is undisputed to say that poverty is implicated in the prevalence in most developing world. Because these countries are generally poor people are normally forced to engage in activities that end up putting them at the risk of HIV. United Nations (2004) revealed that in South Africa more than 6 million people where living with HIV. The paper also revealed that the majority number who were affected were blacks who are generally poor who have no proper housing facilities, mal-nutritional, lack of safe water. Further research has suggested that Botswana and Zimbabwe have high prevalence of the disease due to the poor conditions which prevails in these countries. In Zimbabwe around 2 million people are said to...

...“The field of Human Services is broadly defined, uniquely approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations.” (National Organization for Human Services) Sounds incredible, no? This idea of bringing unique gifts and talents forward in order to provide vital human needs, in an environment that is accountable, and relies upon checks and balances (or introduces same) while seeking to stem new or growing problems, while staying steadfast and focused in order to deliver a better life to people in need. In undertaking the task of this paper I was excited when I found a reference to King Athelstan. He established what is the first recorded almshouse – in York in the 10th Century. I also found that the oldest established charity still in existence is thought to be the Hospital of St. Oswald in Worcester, founded around 990. What I found disturbing is that even though the almshouses in Great Britain survive and thrive – after many adaptations to this day – the almshouses established in the United States evolved to become very bad places. (Almshouses.org website) In our text, we read that in the United States, human services were established and modeled according to the Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601, and that the first principle laid down in the colonies defined poor relief as a public responsibility...

Body calorie needs to function B. Unhealthy Calorie Count 1. Effects of low calories on the body II. Exercise A. Exercise with diet 1. Effects on weight B. No exercise with diet aids 1. Effects on maintaining weight loss III. Diet Aids vs. Healthy Choices A. Hormone/ Chemical based Aids B. Healthy Lifestyle What is the best way to lose weight and is there such a thing as a miracle diet? I have asked myself this question many times over the past sixteen years. All though school I was considered the skinny girl then when I started gaining weight it just kept coming. Diet fads are all the rage, and I have tried most of them that are on the market with some results but they never stay. So I started asking myself what is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. I had to come to the realization that there is no overnight miracle and it all takes hard work. In order to achieve a goal weight and maintain weight, miracle diets are less effective than making healthy lifestyle changes. The first thing I have learned along my weight loss search is that calories are an important factor. All diets are based on a calorie count but what is the correct calories a body needs. The calories the body consumes in a day is different for each person. To figure out how many calories a body needs to function...

...The History of Violent Resolution So it basically all started with a Indian and asthmatic getting together in an MSN conversation with the help of 4 legends of Silent Assassins. Awaken and Hostile were two clans who had just been at their peak and starting to drop slowly. Awaken leaders (General Shop, Jerminator12 and Drew Koskey) and Hostile leaders (Stephen22288, Viper1500 and Tyler11) were set into an MSN conversation with each other to talk. They talked about life and how their clans were doing and somehow got onto the topic of merging Awaken and Hostile and seeing what the outcome out be. They named all the positives and negatives of the situation and the merge seemed to look like it was all positive outcomes. After having a pk trip together and hunting some smaller clans in the wilderness, the leaders figured the pk trip went very well and decided to finalize the merge. Two top 20 clans came together to make a clan able to compete with the best, and looking like we were going to be top 5 within the first week of merging. Violent Resolution Leaders - General Shop, Drew Koskey, Viper1500 and Stephen22288 Officers - Cera S6, Jerminator12, Tyler11, Billybagz, Deadmanbjd81 and Lancer 3000 Warlords - Runechamp812, Exp Hog, Dogflogger, Prinz Jao Advisors - Diegosage, Sweetbritt69 The starting officials of the newly merged clan looked to be very experienced to help Violent Resolution’s quest to the top.

...The Controversy with Medicinal Marijuana For thousands of years, marijuana has been used for various medicinal purposes. As early as the 19th century, physicians in the US used marijuana to treat migraines, as an analgesic, as hypnotics and anticonvulsants. However, between the 1st and 2nd World Wars the US vied the production and usage of marijuana as a conflict between the American culture and morality. This conflict resulted in the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, which was intended to diminish its usage and the production of marijuana through high taxes. In the 1950's, the government started to institute mandatory jail sentences and/or fines for possession of marijuana. By the 1960's marijuana became more popular; which resulted in the Controlled Substance Act of 1970. This act classified marijuana in a class with cocaine and like drugs. In the late 70's less-strict policies against marijuana changed leading to revocation of jail sentences for marijuana charges. In 1980's Reagan was very strong on the anti-drug policy which changed the policies of the late 70's. Followed by Reagan, George Bush Sr. instituted harsh penalties with marijuana users and distribution. In 1996, California passed Proposition 215, this permitted the use of medicinal marijuana for medicinal purposes. As of November 2008, 13 states have legalized medicinal marijuana. The United States government opposes, to many doctors and patients, when marijuana is suggested to have medicinally legitimate use. Marijuana...
