Why do women endure the discomfort of high heels?

High heels are completely uncomfortable and make walking much more difficult. They are also not really got for our health, they can injure the feet, knees and back. Why do women keep wearing them?

The answer is simply- women in heels are more likely to attract somebody. It make women taller, high heels force the back to arch, pushing the bosom forward.

Why is it legal to drive while eating a burger or drinking coffee, but not while talking on a mobile phone?

There is evidence that while we are using a mobile phone when we are driving, we increase the motorist's likelihood of having an accident. Government led to a ban of using mobile phones in cars. The only way that you can talk with somebody on your telephone is to have a headset that allows hands-free use. Yet drivers may legally engage in other activities that appear to be at least as hazardous- eating fast food, drinking coffee, changing CD/music, even using your cosmetics. But why is using a mobile phone not legal, but putting on make-up is allowed ?

It is possible that mobile phones are more distracting than other activities. A driver who becomes angry during their ride is much more inattentive than somebody who eats a burger. It may cause an accident. Yet talking to another passenger is legal, isn't that the same as talking to somebody using a mobile phone? However passengers may be able tell when traffic conditions dictate interrupting the conversation. Since we can use our mobile phones, but only with headsets, this solution is insufficient.

On the other hand if government would decide to put a ban on burgers and drinks in cars, there would probably be a big fall in demand for these products, because most of them are eaten/drunk in car.

If it is concerns headsets they are profitable for everybody. There is a high demand for this product, because everyone who have a phone has to have this product, therefore they have to buy it. It is also very useful for drivers, because they have both hands free, which makes it less dangerous to talk while they are driving a car.

Why do taxi drivers stop work on rainy days

There are lots of answers for this question. It depends on the way of thinking of drivers, but the most important reason why it is like this is that during a rainy day people prefer to stay at home, they hide in restaurants, supermarkets etc. At this time the demand for taxis decreases, therefore there is no reason why they should work. On the other hand the demand could rise, because its raining and people can't find any place to hide, therefore they order a taxi. However if this assertion "taxi drivers stop work on rainy days" is true, we can deduce that while its raining it is very dangerous on the road, therefore taxi drivers stop their work, because of caution.

Why do women’s clothes button from the left and men’s clothes button from the right?

One option, why it is like that, is because of tradition. Women's clothes buttoning is the opposite to men's.When we move to the time in history when women were allowed to ride horses, it was probably proper for a lady to ride side saddle- she always rode on the left side. This caused a woman's blouses to come open in the wind. So the blouse was changed to button on the opposite sid, so as not to be obscene.

Personally I think that it is made to simplify our lives- if we have two shirts, that are the same for men and women it is easier to find which one belongs to whom.

Why are petrol caps on the driver’s side in some cars and on the passenger’s side in others?

One of the most frustrating experiences of driving a hire car is to pull up at a fuel pump as you would when driving your own car, only to discover that the fuel tank is located on the other side. Car manufacturers could eliminate this difficulty simply by putting petrol caps always on the same side of the car. Why is it like this?

In countries in which motorists drive on the right side of the road, such as the U.S., it is easier to turn right than to turn left across oncoming traffic. A majority of drivers will thus buy fuel at stations they can enter by turning right.

During busy times, all spots on the right sides of pumps would be filled even while most spots on the left sides of pumps remained empty.Suppose fuel tanks were always on the driver's side of the car. Drivers would then have to park on the right side of an open pump in order to fill their tanks.

Putting petrol caps on different sides of different cars means that some cars can access pumps from the left. And this makes it less likely that drivers will have to queue for fuel.

Unemployment- A global Perspective

Firstly, we have to start by defining what in unemployment, who are they?

An economic condition marked by the fact that individuals actively seeking jobs remain inhered. Unemployment is expressed as a percentage of the total available workforce. The level of unemployment varies with economic conditions and other circumstances. they receive job seeker allounce.

People with jobs are employed, people who are jobless, looking for a job, and available for work are unemployed, people who are neither employed nor unemployed retires, full-time homemakers, full-time students are counted as not in the labour force.

Employment counts part-time and temporary work, you are counted as employed, if you have a work, but did not work for reasons such as vacation or illness.

To be unemployed, one must have actively looked for a job within the period four we ks and be currently available for work.

The bureau defines actively looking for work as including contacting an employer, sending out resumes and checking union or professional job registers.

Unemployment differences are more persistent by population subgroup. The unemployment rate usually is the same for women and men, however for teenagers is different, because its much higher. The rate for African- Americans is generally much more higher than for a whites.

We can divide unemployment into three groups:

1. frictional- due to frictions in labour market- some must seeking for jobs, because their old job ends before an acceptable new ob begins.

2. technological- technological advance means capital is employed to replace labour.

3. structural which we can divide also into 2 part

- occupational- falling demand for labour in one sector where unemployed are unable to move to take up job vacancies in growth sector

- geographical- falling demand for labour in one region where unemployed are unable to move to take up job vacancies in growth regions.

Economic health indicator is the unemployment rate.

Most people who are not working are not counted as unemployment. When you are not the unemployment, that mean that the bureau of Labour statistic doesn't count you, in this situation your have to find a job, so you are a seeking for work.

Another thing that macroeconomics measure is the inflation rate, which appear when the overall price level in the economy rises and it is usually measured by consumer price index. Most economics says that the best inflation rate is when is hit to 2%.

Economy Up or Down?

How to tell if econom is up or down?
Economists have many different types of measuring economic performance which allow as to make historical and international comparisions. In this dayd any of them are perfect, so each must be examined carefully. However there are 3 main ways of measuring e.g. unemployment, inflation and GDP- gross domestic product.
One of the most popular of this three is GDP, which is in the market a value of all final goods and services produced in the economy over a special periodof time, thats mean one year. The gross domestic product does not conut everything which was bought and sold. The GDP statistic compare from country to country , because prices are different from one place to another one and year to year.

The interesting thing is that the USA has got the highest avarage income per persone in the world.

The ecnomy has got lots of ups and downs. Good example of this one, could be a recession, which we can define by a period in which the real GDP falls its can be defined also as - two consetiutive quartes of negative economics growth.

There is a rule of 72, which is the mathematical regularity that when we would divide this number by a growth rate it would be equal to the approximate number of years that it takes something to double.

What economists know about Economics policy

Firstly, we have to start by describing what is Economics and Economics policy. Then we will be able to talk about this.

Economics is the study of how to allocate scarce resources in the most effective way, among alternative uses. Economics policy is formed of fiscal policy(tax and government spending) and monetary policy(interest rates).It begins with the concept of scarcity, which exists whenever your wants or desires exceed your resources or what is available to you. The problem is that the choices involve trade-offs. Then the cost of something is the opportunity cost- next best alternative foregone.

When people make a decision, they think and compare the value of something and the benefit which they will have if they buy it. If they think that the expected benefits are greater than the expected costs, they do it. If it is the opposite, they don't do it.

Most the decisions are made on the margin. This means, they think about whether one should do a little more or a little less of something. We make them all the time. We decide to do more of something when we can get more benefit from it (that's depend).

The interesting thing is with temperature. Most people do not heat their homes as high as 70 degrees. There we can see the opportunity cost. If there is more warmth, they would probably have to spent less money for something else.

The quantity that you desire to buy at each price defines your demand curve- more people want to buy a product when the price of this good is lower, and desire to buy less when is dear.

Each person's demand depends on their budget, ability to pay and willingness to have the good.

If the market is competitive, the price will settle at an equilibrium level where the supply curve and the demand curve intersect.

There are many reasons why market can fail to achieve efficiency e.g. the market can be competitive, there is not an equilibrium etc. The government can change things to make it better, but that does not means that he will do so.

gobbledygook

Polish newspaper

During the year, precisely in April 2010, price of houses in UK increased into 10,5%. In April there was a growth by 1%% and houses hit the average price of F 167,802. The reason why this situation is like this is because that people whose want to buy a house for the first time, have to pay 25 % of deposit. There is possibility that in future the price and percentages would equalize.

TAYLOR

He was one of the intellectual leaders of the Efficiency Movement and his ideas, broadly conceived, were highly influential in the Progressive Era. He traited people like machine and because of it he used to say that for high profit staff need good equipment, training, peac rate and organisation.

MAYO

He created Hawthorne effect. It is a beneficial impact on staff workrate and moral on a active,personal interest being shown by management. It comes from Mayos resarches into work place bahavior at a factory at Hawthorne, USA between 19271932.

He was attempting to measure the impact on productivity of improving the lighting conditions within the factory. He followed Taylors scientific principles by testing the changes against a control, a section of the factory with unchanged lighting. Although productivity rose where the lighting was improved, Mayo was suprised to find a similar benefit changes had taken place.

Herzberg

Herzberg asked people about times when they felt good in their work. He shown that the key determinants of job satisfaction were Achievement, Recognition, Work itself, Responsibility and Advancement.

He also found that key dissatisfiers were Company policy and administration, Supervision, Salary, Interpersonal relationships and Working conditions.

What interested him the most was that these were different groups.

He has discovered that the employ need to be paid on time each month so I can pay my bills. If I am not paid on time, I get really unhappy. But when I get paid on time, I hardly notice it.

On the other hand, when my boss gives me a pat on the back, I feel good. I don't expect this every day and don't especially miss not having praise all of the time.

He also wrote many books, but one of them become very famous- "One more time: how do you motivate employees?"

More fly

Minister of the EU transport schedules that they have to divide the atmosphere into 3 parts , otherwise all fly would be halted. They said that everything have to be restored soon, because all EU is stopped. The decision about bring back fly was made during a EU convention. The result of this conference was that the area where dust is cruising nowadays would be unmitigated closed. In the second area fly can be restart, but after few days, because right now we make lots of experiments, to be sure that everything is clear, and the plane would be safety. In third part all would be normal, because the dust is just above EU.

summary

Abraham Elijah Maslow, one of the most remarkable psychologist in the World.

He is noted for his conception of a "hierarchy of human needs". He studied such people as Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, and Frederick Douglass, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy." Maslow also studied the healthiest 1% of the college student population.

Maslow has created a hierarchy of five levels of basic needs. Beyond these needs, higher levels of needs exist. In the levels of the five basic needs, it is said that the person does not feel the second need until the demands of the first have been satisfied, nor the third until the second has been satisfied, and so on.

Hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid, with the largest and lowest levels of needs at the bottom.

Why it is better to wash your hands when you get home?

"Cold viruses can all too easily be passed on by hands- so that door handle going into public loos or that pole in the could be the worst possible thing to touch" says Professor Ron Eccles, director of the Common Cold Centre.

It is always better to clean your hands often. You have to remember to don't touch e.g. your eyes when your hands are dirty, because rubbing eyes can be an entry point for any virus. But regular hand washing is still your best defence against catching the current lurgy doing the rounds.

What do you do during the breaks?

While you are watching television , sit on an exercise ball and do some exercise. They can help you avoid everything from back ache to dangerous falls. You can do what ever you want to. Starting from this ball, finishing just in setting and doing some exercise, but remember that break don't have to be always a break for a toilet or drink/ eat. You can do lost of more useful thing during this time.

When is the bet time to buy shoes?

Nick Masucci, who is a pediatric surgeon at New Victoria Hospital says that if we want to buy shoes it would be better for our wallet, to go shopping ate the end of the day. Feet swell continuously from the moment you wake due to heal and blood pooling with gravity, so buy them later means you are trying on shoes when your feet are biggest that at the morning
