The Federal Reserve System is an independent agency of the :United States Government that helps oversee the national bank system. Since 1013 the Federal Reserve System, commonly called the Fed, has served as the central bank for the United States. It consists of twelve District Reserve Banks and their branch offices,along with several committees and councils. All national commercial banks are required by law to be members of Fed, and & , all deposit taking institutions are subject to regulations by the Fed regarding the amount of deposits that must be held in reserve an therefore, are not available for loans. The most powerful body is the seven-membe: Board of Governors in Washington, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.The system's primary function is to control monetary policy by influencing the cost and availability of money and credit through the purchase and sale of government securities. If the Federal ;Reserve provides too little money, interest rates tend to be high,borrowing is expensive, business activities ‘slows down, unemployment goes up and there is danger of recession. If there is too much money, interest rates decline and borrowing can lead to excess demand, pushing up prices and fueling inflation. The Fed had several responsibilities in addition to controlling the money :supply. In collaboration with US Department of the Treasury, the Fed puts new coins and paper currency into circulation by issuing them to banks. It also supervises the activities of member banks board and regulates certain aspects of international finance.

The concepts of analogy and homology are probably easier to exemplify than to define. When different species are structurally compared, certain features can be described as either analogous or homologous. For example, flight requires certain rigid aeronautical principles of design, yet birds, bats, and insects have all conquered the air. The wings of all three types of animals derive from functions. In this case, the light organs of creatures can be said to be analogous. In contrast, features that arise from the same structures in the embryo but are used in different functions are said to be homologous. The pectoral fins of a fish, the wings of a bird and the forelimbs of a mammal are all homologous structures. They are genetically related in the sense that both the forelimb and the wing evolved from the fin.

No one knows when we started using colour, but we think that ancient cultures may have used colours to symbolize specific things. Research shows us that each culture had a different system for colour use. In other words, the people chose Nk hat the colours represented- blue in one culture could mean the opposite in another. Research suggests that over the years, we have learnt to recognize various colours as a warning. If a primitive man cut his hand and saw his blood, the red colour truly represented danger-it told him to do something about it or he could die. On the other hand, blue or green colour has a sort of healing. effect and helps people reduce their stresses. But the same person 7 would not eat meat if it was blue or green- something tells us that green or blue meat is bad. This is an experiment you can try for yourself with food colouring. Try serving a meal to your friends with the potatoes or rice coloured blue. You know that the food is harmless. but your guests will probably not eat it. And when they refuse the food, they are using a universal ability that humans have developed over thousands or years.

The ancient Greeks were famous for their•love of arguing and debating in public places— people like Plato and Aristotle gave i the best presentations of their day. They thought that the best form of argument was reason, but they recognized that because of human weakness two further techniques would always be used: appeal to a person's good character and appeal to the emotions. These three techniques together they called 'rhetoric', and nowadays we use the expression 'rhetorical language' to refer to language that is deliberately intended to persuade and influence.

unlike the eye, the ear has no lids. Therefore noise penetrates without obstruction. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenalin released in response to fear. Because noise is unavoidable in a complex industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to anger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcer may be victims of noise as well.
