The answer is Cerebral Palsy.

Cerebral palsy is caused by abnormal development of the brain or damage to the developing brain that affects a child’s ability to control his or her muscles.

Which location is the best for farming in Asia
yanalaym [24]

"By far the greater part of Asia remains uncultivated, primarily because climatic and soil conditions are unfavourable. Conversely, in the best growing areas an extraordinarily intensive agriculture is practiced, made possible by irrigating the alluvial soils of the great river deltas and valleys. Of the principal crops cultivated, rice, sugarcane, and, in Central Asia, sugar beets require the most water. Legumes, root crops, and cereals other than rice can be grown even on land watered only by natural precipitation" This is from a website called https://www.britannica.com/place/Asia/Agriculture

News reports indicate that the Fed plans to announce its third increase in the discount rate in the past five months. Additional
melomori [17]

Answer: Inflation

Explanation: Inflation is the rate at which the monetary value of goods and services increase. The main duty of the Federal reserve,also called "the Fed" is to control inflation while avoiding recession. The Fed does this by adopting monetary policies according to the situation.

When the discount rate is increased, it means the interest rate is higher and this contracts or reduces the money supply in commercial banks which in turn reduces inflation by slowing down economic growth. This reduces the pressure on the price , inflation is reduced and there's equilibrium.

Increasing the reserve requirement also curbs inflation as this also entails taking money out of the supply and increasing the cost of credit, slowing down the economy and reducing inflation.
