Monetary policy regulates the supply, cost, and allocation of money and credit in an economy. It determines how resources are distributed across different sectors and can be expansionary or contractionary. Expansionary policy increases the money supply to boost the economy during recessions by lowering interest rates, while contractionary policy slows money growth to curb inflation. Monetary management in Pakistan has been dramatically transformed by structural adjustment programs mandated by the IMF and World Bank since 1988.

An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit
Daniel Quinn

The first time I read the ad, I choked and cursed and spat and threw the paper to the floor. Since
even this didn’t seem to be quite enough, I snatched it up, marched into the kitchen, and shoved it
into the trash. While I was there, I made myself a little breakfast and gave myself some time to cool
down. I ate and thought about something else entirely. That’s right.
Then I dug the paper out of the trash and turned back to the Personals section, just to see if the
damn thing was still there and just the way I remembered it. It was.
TEACHER seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire
to save the world. Apply in person.
An earnest desire to save the world! Oh, I liked that. That was rich indeed. An earnest desire to save
the world—yes, that was splendid. By noon, two hundred mooncalfs, softheads, boobies,
ninnyhammers, noodleheads, gawkies, and assorted oafs and thickwits would doubtless be lined up
at the address given, ready to turn over all their worldlies for the rare privilege of sitting at the feet
of some guru pregnant with the news that all will be well if everyone will just turn around and give
his neighbor a big hug. You will wonder: Why is this man so indignant? So bitter? It’s a fair
question. In fact, it’s a question I was asking myself.
The answer goes back to a time, a couple decades ago, when I’d had the silly notion that the thing I
most wanted to do in the world was . . . to find a teacher. That’s right. I imagined I wanted a
teacher—needed a teacher. To show me how one goes about doing something that might be called .
. . saving the world.
Stupid, no? Childish. Naïve. Simple. Callow. Or just fundamentally dumb. In one so manifestly
normal in other respects, it needs explaining.
It came about in this way.
During the children’s revolt of the sixties and seventies, I was just old enough to understand what
these kids had in mind—they meant to turn the world upside down—and just young enough to
believe they might actually succeed. It’s true. Every morning when I opened my eyes, I expected to
see that the new era had begun, that the sky was a brighter blue and the grass a brighter green. I
expected to hear laughter in the air and to see people dancing in the streets, and not just kids—
everyone! I won’t apologize for my naïveté; you only have to listen to the songs to know that I
wasn’t alone.
Then one day when I was in my mid–teens I woke up and realized that the new era was never going
to begin. The revolt hadn’t been put down, it had just dwindled away into a fashion statement. Can I
have been the only person in the world who was disillusioned by this? Bewildered by this? It
seemed so. Everyone else seemed to be able to pass it off with a cynical grin that said, “Well, what
did you really expect? There’s never been any more than this and never will be any more than this.
Nobody’s out to save the world, b.
1) The narrator reflects on when he considers his youth to have begun, tracing it to an epiphany he had around age 16 where ideas of moral improvement suddenly felt urgent and achievable.
2) The narrator describes a spring day where he is struck by feelings of beauty, happiness, and virtue while gazing out the window, seeing it as a turning point.
3) The narrator shares the dreams and plans he had for self-improvement after this experience, which include regular church attendance, charity, academic success, and physical fitness, as well as romantic fantasies, though he acknowledges their unrealistic nature.
1. The document is a collection of poems by various poets including Karen Bayangan, Daniel Cas-ing, Ruby Ann Gonzales, Jeremy Lillef, Ma. Eunice Opinaldo, and Ruth Vinluan.
2. It includes individual poems on topics such as a newly bought bike, a pet, toy cars, importance, and abuse.
3. The poems cover various themes including childhood memories, nature, relationships, and hardships.
Daniel has a nightmare about his house burning down and his life being saved by a mysterious man and a blue Pokémon. He wakes up screaming in his bedroom, which is untouched by flames. His grandfather comes in to comfort him and tells him about a gift he has planned to give Daniel the next day to take his mind off the recurring nightmare. Daniel's parents are no longer alive, so he lives with his grandfather, who is the local Gym Leader.
The document is about a woman named Larissa who receives a call from her boss Larry asking her to search for a mysterious dinosaur called the Dangersaur in the Lost Forest. She initially refuses the dangerous mission but later accepts when Larry fires her. She travels to Alaska with her dog Millie and ventures into the Lost Forest. However, she gets lost in the forest and must decide whether to keep searching or stay put and call for help.
The document contains a collection of poems exploring various themes of inner turmoil, loneliness, anxiety, and emotional pain. Many describe feeling trapped in negative thoughts and relationships, as well as a desire for escape. Others focus on themes of isolation, restlessness, and being haunted by past events or relationships. Several directly reference wanting to hurt oneself or allude to self-harm.
The document provides guidance on writing a personal reflective essay, including choosing a topic from one's own experiences, focusing on specific experiences or people through short paragraphs, and using details, descriptions, thoughts, feelings, and dialogue to bring the writing to life. It emphasizes reflecting on how experiences and people have shaped the writer as well as looking back on past events with new perspective and understanding.
This summary provides an overview of the key ideas and themes across 3 passages from the document:
1) The passages discuss the concept of a "blueprint" that is laid out in childhood by authority figures and influences how one navigates life. Key experiences become etched on one's "blank slate".
2) A second passage describes listening as being deeply engrained in the narrator's blueprint, and various sounds and instructions associated with different colors that were part of their upbringing.
3) In the final passage, the "color guard" or influences change when the narrator is 15, depicted through various colors, and the narrator gains independence but the blueprint still provides walls that shape their worldview.
There may be parts of your life where your dreams and ‘you deserve’ feels trapped as a rose flower trapped beneath heaps of garbage. There might have been moments when you heart was broken into so many pieces, you have not been able to find even one piece yet. You might feel your life is like a radar less ship with a storm lurking silently yet ominously in the horizons. So many times you might have thought of giving up.
I understand. I completely understand. Yet I appeal to you….just write this once….”You deserve”. And let magic happen.

Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.
2. You shake your head as you march up the creepy hill.
How did you get yourself into this mess? The wind whips up and blows fiercely at you as if trying
to keep you away from reaching your destination. You shiver and pull your coat up around your
neck, desperately trying to keep the cruel wind out. You tell yourself that the shivers down your
spine and the goose bumps that have popped out all over your body is due to the cold but deep down
you know it’s because the house is now in sight.
The colossal gates stand guard and the house sits behind them all sinister and spooky. You ask
yourself again why you were foolish to take up the dare: ‘Who is brave enough to enter the
Midnight Mansion and retrieve the Ruby Heart?’

3. You smile to yourself as you recall the moment when you stood up and declared that you
were worthy of the challenge.
All the others were amazed at your bravery. Several of them cheered joyfully, happy
that they weren’t attempting the foolish challenge. Several girls came and kissed you on
the cheek whilst the boys clapped your back heartily. There was no way of backing out
now.
Hours later, you had left the warmth of your friends behind and you are now alone,
trudging towards the mansion.
You arrive at the gates and push them open; they creak noisily as if crying out to all the
ghosts of the night. You stand in front of the massive house, staring at the uninviting
front door. Will you try it or do you want to go around the back?
Front door Around the back
4. The front door is warped slightly due to the years of hard
rain lashing down upon it. Huge, rhododendron bushes
scale the walls either side of the door framing it with its
vigorous growth. A tarnished door knocker shaped like a
howling wolf sits in the middle of the door. You scan the
rest of the frame and see a doorbell half-hidden by years
of dirt to the left.
Do you:
Use the door knocker
Ring the doorbell
5. You press the doorbell and nothing happens, no sound. You shrug to yourself, what
you expected really. The bitter wind whips around the corner and you press the
doorbell again. This time you hear a creak and then a low whistle.
Suddenly the floor beneath you gives way and you plummet down a tunnel. Your
stomach lurches terribly as you drop like a stone. You glance up and see that there
was a trapdoor hidden under the weedy growths surrounding the door.
After a few seconds you slide into a small dark room with a thud. You get up and
dust yourself down. With a sickening feeling you search the room for a door, there
isn’t one. You try the tunnel you slid down but it is far too slippery. Looks like you
are stuck here forever!
6. You raise the wolf’s head and let the knocker drop, your hand is shaking slightly and
you notice that despite the cold, you are sweating.
A moment passes and then the door swings open, creaking and howling like a wolf.
You peer inside the gloomy hallway and decide that you have come this far, time to
enter.
The hallway is dim but the bright moonlight offers enough visibility. Thick cobwebs
hang everywhere and the house is cold, really cold. You see a door to your right, a large
dusty mirror to your left and a large spiral staircase. Do you:
Open the door Climb the stairs Examine the mirror
7. You warily walk towards the mirror noting as you get closer the sheer size of it. It has to be
the largest mirror you’ve ever seen, twice your height and four times your width at least.
The ornate golden frame looks chipped and worn and you wipe the surface with your hand
removing dust and cobwebs. Your reflection looks back at you eerily, then smiles.
Your reflection’s hand snakes out and pulls you closer to the mirror. You try to resist but
your opposite is much stronger. It pulls you into the frame and you feel a sucking sensation
as you are pulled into the mirror itself. A sudden snap cracks and then you are face to face
with your reflection once more, only this time you have switched places.
You try to grab the mirror creature but your hand smacks solidly against the glass, you are
trapped inside the mirror!
Your reflection smiles, waves and strolls away. You are stuck, forever!
8. As you open the door, the first thing that hits you is the musty
smell. You enter and realise it is due to the damp dripping
through the ceiling and the hundreds of moulding books
scattered over the floor. There is very little of interest here
apart from a large painting above the desk. It looks like an old
man with a large grey moustache.
Do you:
Examine the painting
Leave and examine the mirror
Leave and go upstairs
9. Your curiosity is piqued and you walk closer to the painting. The gentleman stands
tall and proud, his blue eyes piercing. A chill runs down your back and suddenly the
painting speaks:
‘Who are you stranger?’ it bellows in a deep voice. ‘No-one has entered my house
for many a year, you must be very brave. Answer me this riddle and you will be
rewarded. What goes up a chimney down but not down a chimney up?’
Do you answer:
An umbrella
A kite
A chimney sweep
10. ‘A chimney sweep,’ you answer with confidence.
‘Ha ha ha! Foolish human. The answer is incorrect.’
The door slams behind you with an almighty thud. You run over to
it and desperately try to force it open but it has jammed and no
amount of pushing or pulling moves it.
‘Looks like you are to spend the rest of your life here with me,
young fool. Never mind, there is plenty of time for you to read and
improve your mind.’
You drop to the floor, crying and moaning, your adventure is over.
11. ‘A kite,’ you answer with confidence.
‘Ha ha ha! Foolish human. The answer is incorrect.’
The door slams behind you with an almighty thud. You run over to
it and desperately try to force it open but it has jammed and no
amount of pushing or pulling moves it.
‘Looks like you are to spend the rest of your life here with me,
young fool. Never mind, there is plenty of time for you to read and
improve your mind.’
You drop to the floor, crying and moaning, your adventure is over.
12. ‘An umbrella,’ you state with confidence.
‘Hmm,’ mutters the painting, ‘looks like you have
brains to match your bravery. When given the
chance to drink the potion of wolf’s blood, do so for
knowledge and power. Now leave.’
Do you:
Leave and climb the stairs
Leave and examine the mirror
13. You grip the dusty banister and climb the spiral
staircase, an open window above you spills light to
the stairs and eerie shadows dance all around you.
The sooner you can leave, the better you think to
yourself.
As you arrive at the top of the stairs, you see two
doors. You must choose one.
Do you:
Open the left door
Open the right door
14. You choose the door on the left and walk into a bathroom. The
stench of mould and decay is overpowering and you feel sick
almost instantly. Your head starts pounding and you feel
nauseous with the pain. You glance towards the sink and see a
steady stream of cool, clean water pouring from the tap.
That may just ease the throbbing pain in your head.
Do you:
Drink some water
Stagger from the bathroom and open the right door
15. You approach the tap and gulp down some cool water, instantly the pain
in your head vanishes and the refreshing drink soothes your whole
body. You continue drinking, lapping at the cool spring like a thirsty dog.
After a few seconds, you notice yourself getting fuller but you can’t stop
yourself from drinking. Your stomach is expanding but still you can’t
drag yourself from the enchanting liquid. Water begins to spill out from
your mouth, nose and then ears and eyes. Finally, you pull away from
the tap and then you see yourself in the dirty mirror, you have turned
into a giant drop of water. You attempt to move but wobble towards the
bath where you topple in and splash all over it. You begin to trickle down
the plughole and you realise your adventure and life is over!
16. As you open the door on your right, you realise you are entering the master
bedroom. A grand four-poster bed sits in the centre of the room.
Surprisingly the dust in this room is not as bad as everywhere else and it
appears remarkably clean. A faint smell of lavender drifts from the bed and
you feel relaxed and sleepy.
In one corner of the room, there is a dressing table full of bottles and books.
The smell is getting stronger and you feel even more tired, the bed looks so
comfortable, maybe a small rest wouldn’t do any harm.
Do you:
Lay down for a rest
Investigate the dressing table
17. The second you lay your head on the pillow, you
know this was the right idea. You are so sleepy and
a few minutes will give you the energy you need.
You close your eyes and instantly drift off to sleep.
Unfortunately, you have entered the master’s
bedroom and he fell asleep on this bed never to
wake. You too will share the master’s fate as you
sink into a deep deep sleep that you will never wake
from. Your adventure is over.
18. The dressing table is full of ornaments, books, bottles and
miscellaneous trinkets. You pick up an elegant bottle and read the
label, Werewolf’s Blood. You throw it back to the table, disgusting!
Do you ignore your disgust and drink some blood
Go for a lie down as you are feeling sleepy
Leave and try the left-hand door.
19. You uncork the bottle and the putrid stench wafts up your nose, the
smell is incredibly strong but you pinch your nose and take a swallow.
The liquid is thick and drips down your throat slowly.
As the blood enters your body, you start to feel surprisingly warm and
quite strong. Your eyes mist over and then clear. When you can see
again the bedroom in black and white, you shake your head to clear
this strange vision but nothing happens. In the corner you see
something you missed before, it shines brightly – gold. You approach
the shining object and see that it is a small box with a keyhole.
Do you have a golden key?
Yes No
20. Unfortunately without the key, the box will not open.
You throw it down onto the floor in anger and then
decide you have had enough of this infernal house.
You walk back downstairs and leave through the front
door. You are happy that you survived the Midnight
Mansion but you failed in your challenge. You walk off
into the night, looking at everything with your new
black and white vision.
21. You pull the small golden key from your pocket and
insert it into the keyhole. You hold your breath and
turn the key slightly; a clunk clicks and then whirrs.
The catch flips open and you cautiously open the
box. As soon as you do, you smile to yourself as the
deep red glow of the Ruby Heart shines in your face.
You snatch the heart from the box and stuff it in
your pocket.
You walk downstairs and leave the Midnight
Mansion forever, happy that you are alive and that
you have succeeded in your challenge.
Well done, your adventure is over!
22. You walk around the back, careful not to step into the stinking
puddles that seem to be everywhere. It is darker round the back as
the house’s tall spires block out the bright moonlight. You hear a
rustle and spin on your heel, nothing.
You walk on but hear the rustling again. This is doing nothing for
your nerves. You realise you are trembling before you have even
entered the house.
Do you want to investigate the source of the noise
Or
Continue to find a back door
23. You cautiously walk towards a large, dark bush to see what is
causing all of the noise. The rustling is getting louder and then
stops.
You strain to hear it when suddenly a powerful dog leaps out
from the bush, its ferocious attack surprises you and knocks you
to the ground. Its ravenous jaws dribble saliva all over your face
and then before you have time to defend yourself it snaps its
mouth shut!
Your adventure is over.
24. You continue to walk around the back squelching through the cold
mud and then you see a small door next to an open window.
As you get nearer, the wind blasts through and catches the door,
swinging it open. You peer inside and see that it leads down into a
dismal and dank cellar. You don’t fancy the idea of descending
into such filthy depths.
Do you:
Go down into the cellar
Climb through the window
25. Ignoring the scary cellar, you climb through the
window, careful not to snag your clothes on any of
the splinters. You land inside a small room and
search around for a door but smile to yourself as you
see there isn’t one. Who would build a room with no
door? After a few more minutes of searching you
decide that it is time to leave this bizarre room. You
turn to leave but the window slams shut.
You run to it and try to open it but it is jammed tight.
You look around for something to throw but alas,
there is nothing. It looks like you are doomed to
spend the rest of your life in this tiny, empty room.
26. Descending the steps is scary and dangerous as they
are covered in moss and mould. They are slippery
and you have to be careful as you make your way into
the cold depths of the house.
Faint slivers of moonlight dance through the small
doorway giving you a dim range of visibility. You
look around and see a small cupboard, its door
hanging off its rusty hinges. A wooden stairway is in
one of the corners probably leading up into the house.
Do you climb the stairs and leave the cellar
Open the filthy cupboard
27. You open the cupboard and peer inside, nothing but
dust and large, thick cobwebs. You go to close it and see
something glinting in the corner underneath a thick
layer of grime.
You reach for it and pull free a small golden key. Happy
with your find, you pocket it and climb the stairs to the
house.
Climb stairs
28. At the top of the cellar stairs is a trap door, you open it and climb through
into a hall. It is gloomy and just as dusty as the cellar but not as musty.
The hallway is dim but the bright moonlight offers enough visibility.
Thick cobwebs hang everywhere and the house is cold, really cold. You
see a door to your right, a large dusty mirror to your left and a large
spiral staircase. Do you:
Open the door Climb the stairs Examine the mirror
