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...

THE RIVER CROSSING.

It is no military secret that an opposed river crossing operation is difficult even under ideal conditions. But without adequate standard equipment and with a poor level of training of soldiers and officers, it could become impossible. But the Army Headquarters and Supreme Headquarters had strongly advised against embarking on an opposed river crossing because of inadequacy of equipment and deficiency in the training of troops for such a semi-specialist operation. The Supreme Headquarters had advised on unopposed crossing while the division passed through 1 Division's secure position to capture the town. The Division commander decided to take a grave and calculated risk that could be called bravado. But if the operation had been successful, as it nearly was, it would have been one of the most praiseworthy operations of the entire war. In the end, it failed and the commander had to take the blame for it.     The first landing, in which the Division Commander himself took part,...

HERNIA

Hernia occurs in an individual when part of the intestine pushes through the wall of the abdomen and appears as a bulge at the site. There are many sites where hernia can occur, although the commonly encountered type is that found in the groin. This type of hernia is known as femoral or inguinal hernia. Hernia may occur on the navel or near it. The hernia which occurs on the navel is called umbilical hernia, while that which occurs close to it is known as paraumbilical hernia. These two types of hernia are less common than the femoral type.   Groin hernia occurs more commonly in males, but can also occur in females in a few cases. In this kind of hernia, there is a weakness in the abdominal wall in the groin region about midway across the groin. It may appear on either side or, sometimes on both sides. A good sign is that swelling increases, initially it can be pushed back manually into the body. Later on, it gets bigger still and lies almost permanently outside the body, especi...
