research involving industrially advanced countries suggests that?

A. the more independent the central bank, the lower the average annual growth of real GDP

B. the more independent the central bank, the higher the average annual growth of real GDP

C.there is no relationship between the degree of independence of a country's central bank and the growth rate of its real GDP

D. the less independent the central bank, the higher the average annual rate of inflation

within the past decade, congress has
A. permitted banks and thrifts to "self-insure" rather than participate in the FDIC system
B. allowed holders of government bonds to add these bonds to their insured checking accounts
C. ended restrictions on banks' merging with insurance companies, securities firms, and other firms offerings financial services
D. ended restrictions on banks' buying of non bank firms such as manufacturers, corporate farms, and real estate companies

Two completely independent questions in one post? A bit greedy, no?

(I) This question makes little sense as it stands.

1. Most of the "industrially advanced countries" do not have a central bank. France, Germany, Italy, and the other members of the Eurozone all have their money (i.e. the Euro) managed by the European Central Bank.

2. Are you going to count China as "an industrially advanced country"? Since it has been launching satellites for almost 40 years, has its own satellite based global navigation system, etc. it is hard not to

But it also has an extraordinarily high GDP growth rate and would skew the results dramatically.

3. Over what period are we talking about? Looking at the last year, very few countries had GDP growing (that's why it has been a _global_ recession) and none of those that did had an independent central bank (i.e. China makes its presence felt)

Still, it is true that (D) the less independent the central bank, the higher the average annual rate of inflation. But that could be because most of the more independent central banks have as their sole job keeping inflation down

But the Fed, for example, does not have inflation as its sole target. It also has the goal of maximizing employment:

So, of course, it is not going to be able to do as good a job on inflation.

So, in evaluting answer (D) do you compare only banks with the same goals and different levels of independence or do you ignore all the other differences and use independence as your only criteria?

In order to be effective, neck firming cream must fight free radicals. In order to be safe, and avoid causing more problems than you already have, you should look for firming neck cream that is free of fragrances, preservatives, allergens and irritants. Creams like that can sometimes be difficult to find.

Health and beauty aids are some of the worst regulated products on the market. The basic health rule of doing no harm does not seem to trickle down to these over the counter products.

If you read customer reviews, you will see that some creams can cause rashes, redness, burning and itching, without providing the promised results. Even if your skin is not particularly sensitive, it becomes more delicate with age and requires a gentler approach.

Dermatologists have identified the reason that we need neck firming cream, in the first place. Aging skin cells produce more free radicals and the levels of naturally occurring antioxidants in the skin are much lower.

Everything in the human body is about balance. Free radicals perform some necessary functions in the human body. Antioxidants keep them in check, insuring that the number of free radicals does not become excessive.

The right firming neck cream can help restore the natural balance by providing effective antioxidants. If left unchecked, excessive free radicals damage skin cells and DNA strands. They break down collagen, which is responsible for the skin's elasticity, and our skin starts to wrinkle and sag.

Here's where you have to be a really smart shopper. Artificial preservatives are "technically" antioxidants.

Manufacturers will try to fool you into believing that the product they are selling is an antioxidant firming neck cream, with advertising hype. It takes a little effort, but by carefully reading labels and learning what those chemicals actually are, you can find a safe and effective neck firming cream.

If you see warning labels like "discontinue use if redness, rash, itching or burning occurs or worsens", then the product contains known allergens and/or known irritants. The list of chemical compounds to avoid is too long to mention here, but I can tell you about some of the compounds that you want in your cream.

Ubiquinone, the chemical name for coenzyme Q10, is one of the most effective antioxidants. In experiments, scientists have seen that skin levels of COQ10 are quickly depleted when exposed to UV radiation that stimulates free radical production.

Creams that contains ubiquinone and other unique antioxidants has been shown to increase the production of new skin cells and promote stronger collagen. The best firming neck cream on the market combines ubiquinone with tocopherol (natural vitamin E).

It also includes grape seed oil, which provides the moisture necessary to improve firmness, as well as digestible keratin, a protein responsible for the skin's "toughness". If you look for neck firming cream that contains all natural ingredients that are "safe enough to eat" and guaranteed to be satisfactory, you can buy with confidence.
