INCOME DISTRIBUTION

 People do type of work or the other. At the end they get paid some money for the work they have done. The pay is not usually the same for everybody since people do different types of work. This often makes workers to keep demanding for more pay in order that they may be able to buy their basic needs.
   Workers can be grouped according to how they are paid for the work they do. Some people are paid a big amount of money at the end of the month. These are highly skilled workers doing some specialized work in the society. The money they are given is called salary. There is another group that does not receive as much

money. Their pay is measured by the number of hours they work or the amount of work they do. Their pay is called wages.
WHY PEOPLE ARE PAID DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
Level of Qualification:Qualification means gaining a level of knowledge. Those who have high qualification earn more money than those who have low qualification. e.g a professor earn much more than a B.sc holder.
Period of Training :Some jobs take more time to learn than the others. Those jobs that take longer time to learn usually attract more salary than those that take short period. E.g Doctors and nurses. While doctors spend six years to train after Secondary school education, while nurses spend three years.
Amount of work done (piece rate) :The amount of work done determines the amount of money workers are paid e.g if a tailor sew ten clothes a day, he will be paid less than one who produces twenty a day.
Hours of Work :Some people are paid based on the number of hours that they work. Those who work longer hours get higher pay than those who work for shorter hours.
Values of Service:The degree of usefulness of work done helps to decide the amount of money workers are paid. Those whose work is very useful earn more money than those  whose work is less useful e.g In a bank a bank manager earns more than accountant.
HOW WORKERS DEMAND FOR MORE PAY.
When workers watch out for increase in the cost of living as compared to their pay. Then the workers union will write a letter to their employers demanding for higher pay stating their reason for the demand. Workers do ask for increase in their pay they do this when they get higher qualifications, or when they have not been promoted for a long time.

Why kids run away

Why Kids Run Away Remember how you felt the last time you got in a big fight with your parents or one of your brothers or sisters? That kind of anger and hurt can be what pushes someone to run away from home.These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens — and there are ways to deal with all of these problems besides running away. Kids who think about running away might not know how to solve tough problems or don't have adults to help them. Sometimes a really big problem can make it seem like running away is the only choice. Unfortunately, the problems kids hope to escape by running away are replaced by other — sometimes even bigger — problems of life on the streets. When you think about running away, you probably imagine that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In reality, running away is anything but fun. Kids and teens who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a s

Handmade Tiles

Clay can be excavated, moulded and burned without any expensive or elaborate machinery and for centuries clay roofing tiles have been used. There are two qualities of tile: Hand made tiles are moulded from a sandy clay which is pressed into shape by hand pressure so that even if some form of screw press is used the clay will not be heavily compacted. During burning the tiles shrink and there are quite noticeable variations which give a tiled roof attractive appearance. The tiles vary in colour from light brick red to almost black and many of the more expensive tiles are sand faced produce the rough texture which is popular.     Handmade tiles fairly readily absorb water and should not be laid at a pitch of less than 45°to horizontal. If laid at a less pitch these tiles may become saturated in winter and frost will then cause them to disintegrate.      Machine pressed tiles are made from selected pure clays which are thoroughly ground to a fine condition. The clay is mixed with

Reading for word pictures

Writers use many devices to enable the reader to follow the main points of a story. One of these devices employed specially in narrative or story writing is the use of word pictures. Descriptions are built up in such a way, with the addition of details, that the active reader is able to visualize in his mind's eye the scenes the writer set out to create. This is why story reading provides so much individual pleasure. Each individual takes from the story something proportional to what he has put into it. If you read with interest and curiosity, then you will find many word pictures to stimulate your imagination. If, on the other hand, you read passively, letting your eyes and mind glide Over the page, then you will overlook many word pictures and consequently, lose some of the meaning. E.g"it was one January morning, very early a pinching, frosty morning (feeling) the cove all grey with hoar-frost(sight), the ripple lapping softly on the stones(sound), the sun still low and tou
