Why does Kenya have a high literacy rate?

Reason 1:Kenya doesn't practise abortion as it primarily doesn't have the sufficient equipment, this means that more children are born. Though some are still births, this still contributes towards a high birth rate Reason 2:Kenya is an LEDC (less ecenomicaly developed country). It is typical for each family to have 8 to 20 children, because they don't have retirement homes.The lack of retirement homes means that adults will need to be cared for in their old age so by having many children they will theoretically have many carers. Reason 3:Again, LEDC's have more children as there is a high infant mortality rate, by having more children more are likely to survive. An example of this would be: I want 5 children but at least 2/5 of them will die so I will have 8 children. This means i will have my required amount of children in case some die. The UK has a relatively low infant mortality rate.

What is Wasilla Alaska?

The City of Wasilla derives its name from Chief Wasilla, a respected local Dena'ina Athabascan Indian Chief. There is some debate about the meaning of the Chief's name. One source claims it means "breath of air" in the Dena'ina Athabascan Indian dialect. Other sources assert the name descended as a variation of the Russian name "Vasili" meaning "William". Before Anchorage was established, the settlement of Knik had served as the transport and supply hub for the region since the 1880's. With the founding of Anchorage in 1915 and the concurrent building of the Alaska Railroad as an overland supply link to Fairbanks and interior Alaska, the end was in sight for Knik. By 1917 Knik was eclipsed by the new town of Wasilla which sprang up that year after a government land auction at the point where the Alaska Railroad crossed the main supply route (the Carl Wagon Trail) for the mines in the Willow Creek Mining District now the intersection of the George Parks Highway and Main Street. The location of Wasilla also provided a better supply staging point for the Kantishna Gold Mining area near Mount McKinley and mines in the Talkeetna area. While placer (hydraulic) and hard rock gold mining had been underway in the Willow Creek Mining District since 1907, Wasilla prospered from its founding the 1917 until 1940 as the self proclaimed, "Gateway to the Willow Creek Mining District". With the exception of the latter part of WWII this was a very active mining area between 1909 and 1950. Incomplete records indicate at least 623,874 ounces of gold worth nearly $18 million dollars were produced at a time when gold was valued between 20-35 dollars an ounce. Over the years at least 50 mines and prospects have operated in this area and at the current time there are still a few active. During the Great Depression of the 1930s the federal government formed the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation to set up the Matanuska Colony for the agricultural development of Alaska. This influx of 200 farming families and supporting services meant that from 1935 until the 1960s, instead of Wasilla, the town of Palmer gradually became the primary supply and service center for this region. Palmer remained the regional commercial center until a new Glenn Highway bypassed Palmer allowing more direct travel from Wasilla to Anchorage. The subsequent development of the new George Parks Highway to Fairbanks (through Wasilla) in the early 1970s opened opportunities for the first wave of "suburbanite" settlement. This meant that with ever improving roads and business opportunities Wasilla shifted from a small town and weekend destination for people from Anchorage to a hometown for workers in Anchorage and Wasilla. Wasilla was incorporated in 1973. The current city resident population is 7,028 with a conservatively estimated population of more than 80,000 adjacent Borough residents who patronize the Wasilla business and commercial center. In Wasilla, major growth resulted from the 1970s and 80s Alaska oil boom and pipeline development and by 1984 Wasilla had again become the commercial heart of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and for a time was the fastest growing city of its size in the United States. By the end of 2007, the City of Wasilla had 1,818 businesses registered with the Department of Finance, Sales Tax Division.

Why are there so many people in mali who cannot read?

Many people in Mali struggle with literacy due to a combination of factors, including inadequate access to quality education, high poverty rates, and cultural barriers that prioritize traditional roles over formal schooling. The country's infrastructure challenges, such as insufficient schools and qualified teachers, further exacerbate the issue. Additionally, social and economic instability, particularly in rural areas, often limits educational opportunities for children, especially girls. These challenges contribute to a high illiteracy rate among the population.

How do you finish a book over the weekend?

This is one I have down to an art. It all has to do with planning ahead. Make sure you have all your chores done Friday night. Make sure you have tea, juice, snacks and so on available ahead of time. Pick a quite room with a bed or a couch. You will need a lamp for when it starts to get darker. Put aside several pillows and a quilt so you can move around and not get stiff in one position too long. If you are reading for school or if you are going to be jumping onto a forum to talk about it, make sure you have a notepad and a pencil so you can take notes as you go. Then all you need to do is open up your book and get absorbed!

What is the difference between primary and secondary sources of reading and primary and secondary sources of data?

I've never heard of primary vs. secondary sources ofreading, but I can provide an answer on primary vs. secondary sources of data.

A secondary source of data is data that was collected for a reason other than the task at hand. A good example is US Census data. Marketers might use census data as input into decisions. An example of application of this data is as follows. Suppose you want to distribute your product in the 5 most populated cities in the US. You could find this info from census data, and go about distributing your product in those 5 cities.

A primary source of data is data that is collected specifically for the task at hand, often via a market research study. For example, if you wanted to know what features of your product are most valued to buyers, you would design a market research study (i.e. questionnaire) to find that out. At the end of your study, you'd have the data to answer your question.

Note that there is quite a trade in used data. There's nothing wrong in this, provided all the relevant information about things like the purpose and reliability and possible sources of distortion of the old data are taken into account.
