The 2007 CALDER CUP PLAYOFFS of the American Hockey League began on April 18, 2007. The sixteen teams that qualified, eight from each conference, played best-of-7 series for division semifinals, finals and conference finals. The conference champions played a best-of-7 series for the Calder Cup. The Calder Cup Final ended on June 7, 2007 with the Hamilton Bulldogs defeating the Hershey Bears four games to one to win the first Calder Cup in team history.[1] This was a rematch of the 1997 Calder Cup Final, where Hershey defeated Hamilton in five games.[2]

Carey Price won the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as playoff MVP, and became only the third teenage goaltender to lead his team to a Calder Cup championship in AHL history.[3]

Playoff seeds

After the 2006–07 AHL regular season, 16 teams qualified for the playoffs. The top four teams from each division qualified for the playoffs. However, it was possible for the fifth-placed team in the West Division to take the spot of the fourth-placed team in the North Division if they earned more points, since the North Division had one fewer team. This did not occur as the Grand Rapids Griffins, the fourth-placed team in the North Division finished with 85 points while the Peoria Rivermen, the fifth-placed team in the West Division, finished with 84 points. The Hershey Bears were the Eastern Conference regular season champions as well as the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy winners with the best overall regular season record. The Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights were the Western Conference regular season champions.[4]

Bracket

In each round the higher seed receives home ice advantage, meaning they can play a maximum of four home games if the series reaches seven games. There is no set series format for each series due to arena scheduling conflicts and travel considerations.[5]

I know a girl who lives in a house with some friends of mine, I can't tell you her real name but we'll call her Mary. Smooth pale skin, almost white, and short brown hair, long slender arms and fingers and a neck like a length of PVC pipe. She's beautiful in the same way that the alien girl from the Fifth Element is beautiful, kind of fucked up but still sexy. I've been round at the house a few times, my sister lives there with one guy studying pharmacy and another guy I knew in school. I'm sitting with my sister and old mate, the pharmacy guy is in his room probably jacking it over Skyrim. Mary pops into the kitchen and sees us, says hello, and then disappears into her own bedroom. She's watching documentaries. She's shy.
	“That Mary” I say to Daniel, “She's pretty cute. She's a real cutie-pie.”
	“Yeah she's great. She's a smart cookie, but got some weird shit going on though. Really fucked up shit.” He shakes his head.
My sister looks ominously at Daniel and me. My sister is a really good girl.
	“I don't think we should talk about Mary.” she says to us, decisively like she's holding a gun under the table pointed at our junk. “She's having a hard time at the moment.”
Daniel sucks on a beer and rubs his jaw. There's some disgusting blond facial hair clinging to his cheeks, chin and neck. It looks like sparse pubic hair on a tight scrot. I told him these exact words because I'm his mate but he ignored me. He thinks he looks like Tim Rogers. He doesn't heed the warning look from my sister.
	“It's been hectic here man,” he tells me. “All kinds of people trying to get in to talk to Mary. People in suits and-” my sister cuts him off.
	“Daniel, the last thing Mary needs is more people causing a fuss about it! Just drop it!”
I'm pretty interested now because it sounds like personal dramas, and there's a chance we'll get talking about Mary's pert breasts or maybe she's having sex with a woman these days. I dig stuff like that.
	“What's the story?” I ask Daniel. We ignore my sister's complaints.
	“All these people have been showing up, trying to get information about Mary, medical people and lawyers and shit. I don't know who they are. Anyway they're all trying to get their hands on Mary because she laid an egg the other week.” He shrugs his shoulders innocently. This is too much for my sister.
	“FUCK Daniel! You don't even know what happened yourself, don't talk about this stuff, it's absolutely nothing to do with us, not to mention just plain rude when Mary can probably hear us talking about her!”
	“Wait, what do you mean she laid an egg?” I ask Daniel.
	“Mary can't hear us from her room, relax.” He says to my sister, then turns to me with a blank expression on his face. “She laid a fucking egg man, I don't know. She went in to the hospital and they helped her deliver an egg.”
	“What, like a chicken egg?”
	“No it was a bit bigger.”
My sister gets up with a resigned look on her face and shuts the door between the kitchen and the hallway, then pours a vodka and tops it up with ice and soda water. She has it pretty strong. She gives up trying to stop Daniel talking about Mary's egg. I'm still not getting it at this point.
	“Was it like a duck egg or a goose egg or something? Is that some sex thing that people do?”
	“No, no they don't know what it was. They've never seen an egg like it before. Nobody could identify it, they had bird scientists and all sorts of people on the case.”
	“They're called ornithologists,” my sister corrects him like she's slapping a child. “They called them in when Mary couldn't explain the egg and ran some tests on it. From what we've heard it didn't match anything that we know about.” She sips her drink sadly. I can tell she's worried about Mary. She's a good girl, my sister. Daniel is rolling a joint but he's not very good at it. He keeps spilling chop all over the table in front of him, then picking it up bit by bit. He continues the story.
	“Anyway the doctors let Mary go home because there didn't seem to be anything wrong with her, but she's been recommended counselling and some other therapy and shit just in case.” He licks the paper he's holding and rolls it thoughtfully. “The strangest part is that Mary asked for the egg back. She kept it.”
We sit in silence for about twenty seconds, digesting this information. My sister has just started to speak when the door opens and Mary comes in. She seems oblivious to our conversation and goes to the refrigerator and gets out a bowl of leftover fettuccine carbonara.
	“Hey how is university going?” I ask her, more to break the tension than from any real interest. I know that she is studying to be a nurse and that she hasn't made many friends at school. I feel sort of sorry for her in a way, I know she's intelligent but she seems sort of lonely as well. Plus, she's got an egg now. Mary puts the bowl in the microwave.
	“Uni is fine,” she tells me distractedly. “I go on placement next month, I'm a little bit worried about it but it will probably be very interseting.” The conversation falls flat like a cool kid tripping over a box of VHS tapes. Mary is standing behind Daniel who sits facing me. He silently mouths the sentence “ask her about the egg” with his eyebrows raised. My sister starts to offer Mary a drink but she declines.
	“What are you watching in your room? A documentary?” I ask her, trying to remain tactful in spite of Daniel's suggestions.
	“Can we see your egg?” He spurts out before she can answer me. He's like the conversational equivalent of premature ejaculation at a funeral. We're all in stunned silence, I'm on the verge of giddy laughter. My sister punches Daniel right in the solar plexus, hard.
	“Why are you a dick?” She practically shouts at him. That punch winded him though and he just keels over in his chair gasping and looks up at me with irrepressible mirth in his eyes. She's right though, he is a dick. Mary turns to the sink silently, I think she's probably going to cry. My sister is shaking her head in her hands. The microwave beeps loudly. That carbonara smells fantastic. My sister gets up and puts her arm around Mary but the girl darts out of the embrace and flits through the open door.
	“Mary, wait!” My sister calls after her and turns to leave. She throws a baleful glare in our direction before she exits.
	“What the fuck is wrong with you? That hurt.” Daniel wheezes after her. When he can breathe again he leans back and gets the bowl of carbonara out of the microwave.
	“I've seen the egg, you know.” He tells me. I'm pretty interested. “I had to sneak into her room because she won't let it out of her sight. She was asleep and it was resting on a pile of her clean laundry.”
	“You're pretty disgusting man.” I tell him. He just shrugs. He puts the poorly rolled joint between his lips and lights it.
	“It's a nice looking egg.” He says.

The clearest thing about that night was the slight laugh lines that formed at the corners of his eyes and lingered by his lips. I wanted to trace them, slowly...perhaps with my fingers; perhaps with my own lips. I couldn't quite decide.

I spotted him midway through the show. The band had a Rockabilly vibe and he was the only other person moving to the beat in the tiny space. It was, after all, a local pub with no dance floor. He didn't have a lot of dance moves, but I could tell he loved the music. We smiled at each other and quickly looked away, but our feet kept leading us closer together. Finally, there was only a rough looking Biker between us, covered in piercings. I took a deep breath, placed my hands on the leather-clad gentleman's shoulders, and whispered tantalizingly in his right ear..."Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but you're the only thing between me and the man who's dancing. I'm going to move you over a bit."

And I did just that, guiding the slightly confused guy out of the way, as I slid up next to the man with the shy smile. The band played on, sweat dripping and beer chugging; singing about heartbreak and sex and beautiful women. We danced, bumped into people, made room for ourselves--we twisted and stomped and cheered until our voices were raw and feet sore. "Can I buy you a drink?" he asked with an accent, during a brief pause from the band. "Well, I..." I looked up at his face, at his smile, noticing the laugh lines. "Sure. I'll have whatever you're having." He ducked off while I tried to place it. Aussie, maybe?

He returned a minute later, empty handed. "They won't serve me! They think I've had enough." Though he didn't seem that inebriated to me, I started to laugh. He looked puzzled. "It's your accent! They think you're worse off than you are!" He groaned and we both shrugged and turned our attention back to the music. Back to the beat, back to the rhythm. We danced in tandem but we didn't touch, not even once.

At the end of the show the singer threw his arms around me. "I'm sorry, I'm so sweaty!" I didn't mind. He was giddy, he had thrown all of his joy into that hug, and he released me with the biggest grin on his face. "You boys were fantastic tonight. I'm so glad I came." I hugged the bass player and said my goodnights, while the band had another beer.

Outside, my new friend asked if there was somewhere else we could get a drink. "There's an Irish pub a couple blocks down." I gave him a sideways glance. "Maybe I should order for us." He laughed with me and we headed out. At the pub, I tried to figure out when and how to say what I needed to. I didn't want him to waste his money on buying me drinks, only to be disappointed. In the end I just kinda blurted it out--"I am in a bit of a different relationship situation. I am married, but we see other people...I don't do one night stands, though." He shrugged. "Eh, I'm not sure how to pick up girls, anyway." He was an engineer, though what he really wanted was to be a helicopter pilot. He was in town for work and only had one night to live it up. "I still want to dance! Do you know any nightclubs?"

I took him to the gay bar. It was the nearest place I could think of with a dance floor still going. "You don't mind, do you?" I asked while he took my hand. "Nah. Gay people are pretty good dancers. Is this okay...?" He squeezed my hand lightly. "Yeah, I think so. It's nice." He nodded. Our steps were a little uneven as the alcohol made its way through our limbs.

"So," he said, pausing a little. "If you aren't planning on having sex with me, do you think you could be my wing woman?" I laughed. "Of course."

At the club, we made our way out on the floor and moved and grooved to the awful music. The alcohol made us care a little less about the lyrics and we just followed the beat. We still didn't touch, except the accidental bumps when someone else crashed into us. I nodded towards the pole at the side of the dance floor. "You know, I broke my arm here once." He raised an eyebrow and the corners of his eyes crinkled as he grinned, taunting me a little. "Well, you should get back on the horse then, yeah?" "Yeah, perhaps."

I jumped up, closed my eyes, and moved through two more songs, not daring to look at him. When I came back down he whispered to me "Well, you've got some moves." We had another drink and he looked over the crowd. "I feel bad about chatting someone else up; I'm here with you!" "Go, silly, I brought you here to have a good time. Do what you want to do."

"Well, mostly, I want to do you."

"...Okay, not that. Go on now." I shooed him away, laughing. He talked and danced with a few girls before returning to me. "She just asked me straight up if I'd like a fuck." He motioned to a pretty blonde across the floor. "Oh. That's rather direct. Well then?" "I turned her down." He smiled. I smiled. We danced some more.

When our feet would no longer hold us and I was sure my lungs would burst, we sat on a couch in the corner. "So....what about kissing?" he inquired, as we were close together and comfortable. "Kissing is not a one night stand, is it?" I paused. "I...I don't really know!" "Well it's your rules, silly, what do you mean you don't know?"

His kisses were gentle and warm. I pulled back, blushing. He leaned in again, and I kissed him on the nose and dashed back to the dance floor. He followed. We had one more dance left in us. This time, we moved in close, and I slid my arm around his neck briefly. We moved together--slightly apart, but I could feel the warmth of his chest. Then the song was over, and we pulled away.

Outside, I told him we had two options. "We can go find some food, or part ways here." "Food!" After some discussion, however, we realized that our only option that late was ordering from the 24 hour pizza place. "We could order to my room...?" He was so hopeful. "Not happening, my dear." "Well, you can't fault me for trying," he said sheepishly. I couldn't. I probably would have enjoyed the one night with him, but it really wasn't my thing. I called him a cab and said I could walk home from there, as my house wasn't far. "Will you be alright, though?"

"Probably!"

The walk took me a half hour. I met others on the way, with calls of "Pretty lady!" and "Where's the party?" but I made it home fine, of course. I texted him to let him know I made it, and he replied in kind. The next morning we each texted once to say thanks for the company and we had had a good time. He was the last to text and I left it at that, smiling.

Two days later, I received one more text from him.

"Hi, good meeting you and all the very best, but I would appreciate not texting me as I am with someone and she would not like me getting texts from strange women. I hope you can understand, take care and look after yourself, me."

I would have traced his laugh lines with my fingers after all, I think. Very lightly.

title: Saturday night

question: Describe the rollercoaster of emotions the narrator goes through over the course of the evening with this man.

answer: At first, she thinks she's just dancing with a new friend. But the night progresses, and there are more kisses and physical contact, and the narrator starts to feel more and more sandwiched between chemistry and the "rules." The rules say this is not something she can enjoy, even though she might. The guy's text makes her feel like a toy puppet, dancing on strings. In the end, she has a genuinely fun time, and perhaps her heartstrings are possible.

critique: The answer is hard to read and makes little sense.

critique: The answer is confusing and doesn't make much sense.

critique: "In the end, she has a genuinely fun time," - rephrase to "...and jokingly rejects him when he asks for her number,"

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

text: "the rules" are not specified and do not refer to anything in the response which makes the rest of it sound even more confusing.

category: coverage

refinement: At first, she thinks she's just dancing with a new friend.

In the end, she has a genuinely fun time, and perhaps her heartstrings are possible.

question: Why do you think she feigns nonchalance with regards to her mounting feelings for him?

answer: They are complete strangers, she has heard lots of stories about men and women going and having sex with people they are not in a relationship with and she may be wary that her new found interest could also lead her to be hurt. She may also want to ensure he is in fact who he says and that she is not compromising her marriage to peruse aosexual flings with other men.

critique: This answer is made up. It's not in the text.

critique: "They are complete strangers, she has heard lots of stories about men and women going and having sex with people they are not in a relationship with and she may be wary that her new found interest could also lead her to be hurt. She may also want to ensure he is in fact who he says and that she is not compromising her marriage to peruse aosexual flings with other men." - this has nothing to do with the question. Needs to be re-written.

critique: The answer is a bit off track. The story doesn't say anything about her being wary of men.

critique: There is no evidence to suggest that she is feigning nonchalance.

critique: The answer grossly overstates the woman's reason to be nonchalant with regards to her mounting feelings for him. Some of the things mentioned in the response were never hinted at or discussed in the story.

question: If their genders were swapped, what do you think would have been different about the night? Would it have made a difference?

answer: This man might not have minded her being married and seemingly seeing other people, however she probably would not have enjoyed his behavior.

critique: It's not clear what the man's behavior is in the story.

critique: It's not clear that the man would not have minded her being married, but it's possible that he would not have enjoyed her behavior.

critique: "This man might not have minded her being married and seemingly seeing other people, however she probably would not have enjoyed his behavior." - is incorrect. The man was married and the woman was seeing other people.

critique: The answer is more than the question asks for.

critique: The answer is not related to the question.

critique: The article doesn't mention what the man would not have minded about her being married.

In the previous article, we talked about the 5 most fascinating funerals of famous people. Here are the remaining 5.

6. Not many of us know this man, but Manfred von Richthofen was one of the best fighter pilots that ever lived on this earth. He has to his credit more than 80 official dogfight victories. He died in one such battle against a Canadian plane, in Northern France on April 21, 1918. Even after being shot through the heart and lungs, CAPTAIN MANFRED VON RICHTHOFEN managed to land his plane securely, moments after which he passed away. EVEN THOUGH THIS MAN WAS AN ENEMY, HE WAS STILL BURIED IN THEIR LAND WITH ALL THE RESPECT THAT HE DESERVED.

[Funeral Spray]
Funerals are friendly to all!
7. The king of pop, MICHAEL JACKSON, lived a life like no other man in this world. His life was full of controversies and so was his death. Many of his fans still believe that the pop star has faked his death and is still alive. Alive or not, they did have a funeral to honor his memory and the tickets for the same were auctioned. Jackson passed away from acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication, on June 25, 2009, at his home in California. 17,500 TICKETS WERE SOLD VIA LOTTERY IN WHICH 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE PARTICIPATED. SOME OF THESE TICKETS WERE EVEN SOLD FOR OVER $10000 EACH.

8. Alexander the Great, the ruler of the Macedonian Empire, was considered as someone who can never be defeated. But sadly at the age of 32, he passed away in Babylon. His last wish was that his corpse be dumped in the Euphrates River, but that could not happen. HIS BODY WAS INSTEAD EMBALMED AND PRESERVED OVER THE NEXT 2 YEARS AND HIS FUNERAL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HELD THEN. But his body was transported so many times before that that eventually, his final resting place became a mystery.

[Burning Candle]
Lit candles are spreading light of hope at funerals.
9. The King of Rock n Roll, ELVIS PRESLEY, died at his home in Graceland on Aug 16, 1977. Even though his funeralwas not open to the public, his fans crammed the streets outside his home for days and the entire thing had become a major event. MANY ENTREPRENEURS STARTED SELLING $5 “COMMEMORATIVE” T-SHIRTS TO THE CROWD.

10. An extremely opinionated journalist and WRITER, HUNTER S. THOMPSON, committed suicide in 2005. HIS CLOSE FRIEND ACTOR JOHNNY DEPP ARRANGED AN UNUSUAL FUNERAL SERVICE FOR HIM. Johnny got a 150 ft tower built in the shape of a fist clutching a peyote button and a cannon mounted on top, which was the symbol Thompson used during an unsuccessful bid for sheriff in Pitkin County, Colorado. His funeral was attended by many A-list celebrities like Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Bill Murray, and Senators John Kerry and George McGovern. THE CANNON SHOT HIS ASHES INTO THE SKY AS HIS FAVORITE SONG, ‘SPIRIT IN THE SKY’ PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND.

ADE BETHUNE (January 12, 1914 – May 1, 2002) was an American Catholic liturgical artist.

She was associated with the Catholic Worker Movement, and designed an early masthead of its publication, the _Catholic Worker_, first used in 1935. She later re-designed this in 1985, replacing one of the men with a woman.[1]

Bethune was an advocate of traditional iconography.[2]

She is buried at Portsmouth Abbey, Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

She was she was inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame in 1990.[3]

Early life

Bethune was born Adélaide de Bethune, Baroness, to a noble Belgian family. Her parents, Gaston and Marthe (Terlinden), emigrated with the family after World War I. Her mother Marthe was daughter of Viscount Terlinden.

Career beginnings

Ade volunteered her illustrations to improve the quality of the Catholic Worker when she was a nineteen-year-old art student, impressed with the work of Dorothy Day. This was preparation for her later illustration for Catholic liturgical works such as 'My Sunday Missal' in 1937, and similar works such as 'My Lenten Missal'.

Bethune also worked closely with Graham Carey and with the Catholic Art Association, founded in 1937 by Sister Esther Newport.[4][5]

Terra Sancta Guild

Beginning in the 1960s, she was the artistic director of the Terra Sancta Guild, a commercial firm that produced religious art works for many Christian denominations.

Social activism

Ade was interested in the Catholic Worker Movement's work with hospitality for the poor when she was an art student. She continued this interest throughout her life, and became interested in the issue of providing housing for the elderly, particularly the poor elderly. In 1969, she founded the Church Community Housing Corporation in Newport County, Rhode Island, to design and build housing. In 1991 she founded 'Star of the Sea' to renovate a former Carmelite convent into an intentional community and state of the art housing for the elderly, where she lived until her death in 2002.

Artistic Works

-   Crucifix, St. Paulinus Parish, Clairton, Pennsylvania
-   Design of St. Leo Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, including revival of a central altar
-   Altar chapel and stained glass oculus at the Chapel + Cultural Center at Rensselaer

title: Ade Bethune

question: What does the text say about Bethune and housing?

answer: Bethune is known for having founded The Church Community Housing Corporation in 1969 in Victorias City, Philippines. She had an interest in providing housing for the poor and elderly, which is why she founded it. She also founded Star of the Sea in 1991, which is an intentional community and a state of the art housing for the elderly in Newport County.

critique: The answer should mention that she lived in Star of the Sea until her death.

critique: The response inaccurately mentions that Bethune founded The Church Community Housing Corporation in 1969 in Victorias City, Philippines. However, the text says she founded it in Newport County, Rhode Island.

critique: The answer should mention that Bethune lived in Star of the Sea until her death.

critique: It's omitted that she later built housing for the elderly in her own community.

critique: It was never mentioned if Victorias City was a part of Newport County.

question: What does the text say about Bethune's artwork?

answer: Bethune's first illustration for a Catholic publication was for the Catholic Worker (the first illustration was of a man, and she replaced it with a woman in 1985). She also provided illustrations for books such as My Sunday Missal and My Lenten Missal. She also designed a crucifix for a church in Pennsylvania, an altar in Minnesota, an altar chapel and stained glass oculus in New York. She also designed a mosaic wall of the baptistery in the Philippines and a lacquer tabernacle in the chapel of Saint Joseph the Worker in Negros Island, Philippines.

critique: The response includes extraneous information not useful for the task.

critique: Note that she was the artistic director of the Terra Sancta Guild

critique: It is omitted that she was the artistic director of Terra Sancta Guild in the 1960s.

critique: "She also designed a crucifix for a church in Pennsylvania, an altar in Minnesota, an altar chapel and stained glass oculus in New York." - this is inaccurate. She designed the altar chapel and stained glass oculus, but the altar was in Minnesota, not New York.

critique: The answer omits the fact that she was the artistic director of Terra Sancta Guild, a commercial firm that produced religious art works for many Christian denominations.

critique: The altar chapel and stained glass oculus are in New York, not New York.

critique: The answer should mention her work with the Terra Sancta Guild.

question: What does the text say about Bethune's social activism?

answer: Bethune was interested in the Catholic Worker Movement's work with hospitality for the poor when she was an art student. She continued this interest throughout her life, and became interested in the issue of providing housing for the elderly, particularly the poor elderly. In 1969, she founded the Church Community Housing Corporation in Newport County, Rhode Island, to design and build housing. In 1991 she founded 'Star of the Sea' to renovate a former Carmelite convent into an intentional community and state of the art housing for the elderly, where she lived until her death in 2002.

critique: "Bethune was interested in the Catholic Worker Movement's work with hospitality for the poor when she was an art student. She continued this interest throughout her life, and became interested in the issue of providing housing for the elderly, particularly the poor elderly. In 1969, she founded the Church Community Housing Corporation in Newport County, Rhode Island, to design and build housing. In 1991 she founded 'Star of the Sea' to renovate a former Carmelite convent into an intentional community and state of the art housing for the elderly, where she lived until her death in 2002." - this is redundant and should be removed.

question: What does the text say about Bethune's romantic life?

answer: No answer

critique: The text does not say anything about Bethune's romantic life.

critique: The article mentions nothing about her romantic life.

critique: The response misses to provide an answer to the question in the task.


text:
I honestly don't know how long I've been sitting here, waiting. It's getting kinda cold but the sky's still blue, almost as blue as the ocean. I've only been there once, when I tried running away from home and I saw a sliver of it behind the buildings. Then my aunt found me and her tears washed the ocean away.

I check my watch. I don't remember when I got here. Let's guess a few hours. I've seen the same old man hobble by around five times. I don't know if he's trying to look at me or what.

My legs have fallen asleep. I shift my weight and ow, ow, ow, pain is shooting up my body. I know it'll fade in a couple minutes, but I'm almost in tears. It hurts.

The more I think about it, it's not about my legs. It's everything- something's come into my life and tinted it all gray. Even silver linings are pretty slim: my friends don't have time for me and I can't say I care too much for them either. At one point they just became background noise. Hung out without me, had conversations that left me out. Bang, bang, hey, I'm still here.

Got no talents, got no friends. Just this promise that I'm banking on and sore feet. I walked all the way here and now my legs have fallen asleep. Tears are sticking to my cheeks. Hell, I probably look a lot grubbier than I usually do. Dirty cheeks and hair, gold jewelry in my pocket. I can sell it if I have to, if he decides that we're running off somewhere. He's not the kind of guy to just drop everything and run off, though, while I'm kind of like that. Just run. Or drive.

I imagine he's talking to me. About the ocean, and the future. The future is this big, grim shadow looming over my head but when he talks about it, he's got it all planned out. It's simple. He'd say, "Hey, five seconds ago, when you came over, that was the past. And five seconds from now, it'll be the future and we're going to still be sitting together, right? The future'll become the present. That's not too scary, right? Too fast for you to even notice it."

Right. But he's not sitting next to me now and everything's gray. The future is scarier - will it go by so fast I'll miss it? Suddenly I'll be some hunched old crone, trying to remember, what happened at the bus stop that day? Or maybe I'll be sitting here forever.

Why didn't I bring my phone? I could really use some music right now. No lyrics are coming to mind; the whine of cars is too loud. I curl up on the bench and squeeze my eyes shut.

It's even darker under my eyelids. When I was little, I wasn't really scared of the dark; I wanted to know why the monsters under my bed didn't want to talk to me. I thought, why don't they like me either? We're supposed to be alone together.

Footsteps -- his car -- no, it isn't him. But he'll come. He's just running late, I know it. I've sat up so fast that my head is spinning.

He likes my hair. My face. He says I have funny arms. I don't get how you can have funny arms, so I told him he can't talk because he has a crooked nose. He'd shrugged. Loads of people have crooked noses according to him. It just makes him blend in more.

He says I'm smart for my age. He won't let me down, he wouldn't dare. I hope I'm smart enough to be right about this.

What did my sister say about him? I think she likes him. Actually I'm pretty sure she does. She's always turning red and speaking really, really softly when he's around. But there was something she'd said about him, something that was odd, twisted, and true - what is it?

This'll bother me all day. The cars speeding by are starting to blend together into this black streak. No red. Not even white.

At least it isn't gray. I can't remember if his eyes are blue or gray - or what the rest of his face looks like. Suddenly he's a blur just like everything else.

Is he just someone I've imagined? Am I waiting for someone who'll never show up? I don't even have my phone to see the words he's written me. But those could've been imagined too, maybe.

Everything's just one big maybe. Maybe he'll show up and maybe my aunt will be here too. Maybe she'll wash the ocean away again.

My sister. Cute little idiot. Where's she? Probably thinking I'm in a mood again.

One, two, three, four, five. I'm in the future. The present.

Whatever. He still isn't here.

title: no buses

question: Who is the girl waiting for?

answer: A man she met online.

critique: The girl is waiting for a guy she met in person.

critique: The man she is waiting for is not someone she met online.

critique: The man she met online is not the man she is waiting for.

critique: The online part is inaccurate. She met him in person.

critique: "I don't remember when I got here. Let's guess a few hours." indicates that the girl had been waiting for a while. The answer should include this detail.

critique: The man she is waiting for is not a stranger she met online.

critique: The answer is false. The girl is waiting for someone she met in real life.

critique: The information is not found in the passage.

critique: This is not what we are told in the story.

critique: The girl is waiting for a man she met in real life.

critique: She isn't waiting for a man she met online

critique: Although the narrator was planning to run away from her home, it was not mentioned that she will meet a man online.

critique: There is no evidence that the girl met the man online.

question: Is there something mentally wrong with the narrator?

answer: No

critique: There is nothing in the text that suggest that the narrator of the story has a mental disorder or ill mental health.

critique: The answer is not supported by the text.

critique: It's not stated, but it's implied that the narrator has some mental issues.

critique: The narrator could be mentally ill, as indicated by her hallucinations and delusions.

critique: While not necessarily implying mental illness, the narrator's behavior appears odd and possibly dysfunctional.

critique: "No" is the wrong answer for a question about the narrator's mental state.

critique: I would add a period to end the sentence.

critique: The narrator's mental state is not explicitly described.

critique: The narrator is clearly suffering from depression and anxiety.

critique: It is omitted that the narrator seems to be suffering from depression.

question: How did the narrator meet the man she is waiting for

answer: It doesn't seem that the two of them are dating since the narrator remembers talking to the sister about a character that she likes on a television show. She doesn't seem to know a lot about him.

critique: The text does not say that the narrator is waiting for a man.

critique: The answer misses the point that it's implied that the narrator met the man at the bus stop.

critique: This is not how the narrator met the man she is waiting for.

critique: One-sided information from a secondary source

critique: The answer is not related to the question.

critique: There is a lot more to the story that is omitted

critique: The answer is wrong. The narrator met the man when she was running away from home.

critique: The story does not give any information about the man the narrator is waiting for.

critique: This is not quite accurate. The narrator is waiting for a guy she is going to run away with. She remembers her sister talking about him, but does not seem to know a lot about him.

critique: The narrator is not waiting for a character from a television show.

critique: The answer is saying events that happened before the story and is wrong.

critique: "a character that she likes on a television show. She doesn't seem to know a lot about him." - is the man in a TV show? This doesn't make sense.

[ShipbuildingPLMDifferent]
This last year I have been working with several of SSI’s clients helping them to implement a PLM tool. As per my recommendation in the blog post Looking at Investing in PLM? I suggest working with an experienced PLM consultant. PLM consultants that I have worked with have a great understanding of the PLM tool and how to align your business goals with the PLM tool selected. However, there is ALWAYS a learning curve for the PLM consultant to understand the shipbuilding industry. This is where I usually fit into the equation and why clients ask for me to be involved. I am the person who is in the intersection of shipbuilding knowledge, ShipConstructor (CAD/CAM), business goals and PLM feature set. I am definitely NOT an expert in all these but I would say that I know enough of each aspect to help facilitate communication between each party since in some cases they are at different wavelengths.

Shipbuilding is unique (but not as much as we think) compared to other industries. One concept which is usually new to PLM consultants is the idea that in the shipbuilding industry we do production engineering and not just engineering. The idea that a shipbuilder can “engineer” a ship but that it cannot be manufactured at any other shipyard is often a shock to these consultants. They are surprised by the fact that an ENGINEERED ship is specifically created to be manufactured at a specific shipyard to incorporate its manufacturing constraints and capabilities. This is why we say shipbuilders do production engineering.

Before I talk about the difference between production engineering vs. typical engineering I want to briefly discuss the _typical_ workflow for a ship.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Typical (at a very high level) Workflow

After the contract is signed and all initial design is complete, the shipyard starts to build a plan. In this plan they need to develop a manufacturing strategy of breaking the ship into blocks, assemblies, compartments, etc. This breaking of the project is done before the first 3D part is modeled (unless you used 3D in your basic design). There are a lot of factors involved in breaking the project such as size of raw plates available, facility constraints, plate forming techniques, bending capabilities, lifting capacity of cranes, transporters, work centers, storage, scheduling, workforce availability, and the list goes on.

At this stage they also determine the plate raw stock and equipment to be used for the ship and then they place an order for the material. This is because many of these items have long lead times which require placing the order to their suppliers, again before any 3D model is created.

These decisions totally affect the way the ship will be _engineered_ and will be optimized for the yard it will be built at. If the ship was to be built at another yard these decisions would be different and therefore it would change the end result of how the ship will be manufactured and _engineered._ The easiest example I use is that yards usually want to build the biggest blocks they possibly can but they need to make blocks with weight that does not exceed their crane(s)’ operating capacity. Another example is that some yards have the capability to bend plates to create flanges while other do not have this capability requiring them to use another method of strengthening the plate.

Once the plan is roughly laid out the engineers will start detailing the ship with the requirements decided in the previous phase. This will include standards and library items such as stock available, endcuts allowed, corner treatment, equipment, pipe fittings, valves, plate flange standards, bevel standards, penetration standards, etc. This library of catalogs and standards directly affect what items you can use in _engineering_.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Production Engineering in Shipbuilding

In a typical engineering phase, very little thought is usually given to the manufacturability of the item. This is changing in many industries but in shipbuilding, manufacturability has always been part of engineering. Engineers are constrained to use only the standards, catalog and rules pre-setup for the project. This limits the engineers to only design parts which can be manufactured.

This production focus on engineering also drives the way that parts are named and marked on the plate during CNC. Each part will have a name that any person on the production floor would be able to read and then know exactly where on the ship it belongs.

When a part is created in the 3D model the engineers assign the part to an assembly in the production product breakdown structure where the part will be installed. This assembly structure, as mentioned, was defined at the beginning of the project and will continue to get refined by the production planning team to a work center/station level. Additional properties are either inferred or added by the engineer to aid in the routing of the plate on the production floor. A simple example is if the plate requires a flange, the engineer will add an attribute so that it will get routed to the plate bending workstation after CNC. Edge preparation is another manufacturing feature added to the plate during engineering.

The engineering team then generates documentation and even CNC code based on the manufacturing build sequence which will be directly used without manipulation on the waterfront. By using the production project schedule the engineers will only generate the documentation required on the production floor using the Just In Time (JIT) lean principle. Documentation includes drawings used to fabricate, construct and CNC parts/assemblies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Closing Remarks

Implementing PLM in any industry can be challenging and in many cases requires a PLM expert to oversee the implementation. One of the first steps in any PLM tool implementation is to understand how you do business despite the tool that you have selected. This will require your PLM consultant to better understand shipbuilding.

Shipbuilding is a different industry than most other large scale manufacturing industries such as aerospace and automotive. This has caused some PLM experts to fail at implementing a solution in a shipbuilding environment. The fact that shipbuilding does production engineering is only one of the areas which causes implementations to be unique from other integrations. In future posts I will talk about some of the other challenges commonly faced with PLM implementations.

question: Describe the author's views on shipbuilding and the manufacturing process.

answer: The author believes that shipbuilding is unique compared to other industries. The author believes that shipbuilding is a different industry than most other large-scale manufacturing industries. The author believes that shipbuilding does production engineering, which is different from typical engineering.

critique: The author's views are not expressed in the passage.

critique: The author's view of production engineering is not expressed.

critique: The author's views are not explicitly stated.

critique: The author does not believe that shipbuilding is a different industry, only that it is unique.

critique: Instead of rewriting the author's sentences, the detail about shipbuilding not being similar to other industries can be omitted.

critique: The answer should mention that the author believes that the manufacturing constraints and capabilities of shipyards affect the engineering process.

question: What is the difference between manufacturing and engineering?

answer: Engineering is created to optimise a product's engineering to meet manufacturing constraints. Manufacturing is constrained by manufacturing constraints and how a shipyard can optimise the constraints.

critique: "Engineering is created to optimise a product's engineering to meet manufacturing constraints. Manufacturing is constrained by manufacturing constraints and how a shipyard can optimise the constraints." - this is incorrect. The author is talking about shipbuilding, not engineering in general.

critique: The answer is confusing and doesn't make sense.

critique: The answer is confusing. The second sentence of the answer is completely irrelevant to the question.

Her hands, trembling ever to slightly, as she gripped the cool metal handle, her fingertips dancing delicately across the surface. With a swift motion the barrier was broken and the clear liquid flowed freely, stretching out along the cold porcelain curvature of the bathtub. The water ran, pooling at the end, before rising, rippling under the pressure of its peers, each drop fighting for its own space in the tub. As her own miniature ocean began to lap at the shore of the bath she returned the faucet to its original position, stemming the chaos, only a last few drops escaping. The thoughts in her mind still rippled like the water once had, she only wished for the storm to calm so she could relax. Unscrewing the bottle she poured the pills into her hand, several spilling to the floor, her gaze did not shift her only focus was finding shelter from the hurricane that was raging inside her skull.

Taking a deep breath in the tension eased. Tentatively she stepped into the bath, disturbing the peace that the water had found. For just a moment, her breath caught. Inside her chest her heart was pounding with an ache she had never known. She hesitated, and then calmness washed over her, as the warmth of the water flowed through her. She knew this was what she needed. Her sharp expression smoothed as the water began to calm her, cleansing every part of her being. Giving into the soothing touch of the water she exhaled deeply, breathing out her troubles. Tentatively her mind began to wander, reaching out for a long forgotten moment of bliss to recite endlessly in her thoughts. She painted the scene in her mind, a time without worry or regret, without commitments or disappointment.

Crystal clear dew drops raced down leaf slops, carelessly leaping off the edge, blissful and clear minded, craving adventure, for the excitement and unknown that waited. The wind rang its fingers through her flowing hair, the flowers outstretched, reaching towards her to be picked up like a small child yearning for their mother. The warm touch of the sun cascaded across the meadow, illuminating every minor element, a moment frozen in time; a moment where nothing at all mattered. It was paradise. However the longer she allowed herself to indulge in the memory the more it distorted, twisting against her. The flowers recoiled from her touch, the sky darkened, angered from her presence. The air was cold. The storm had found her, she began to run, and she knew she could not hide for long her but that short moment had been enough, she was confident in her decision.

She let go. The fight inside her was gone, the war was done. No longer was there any pain, or struggle. Calm; at last everything was calm, the storm clouds parting forever. A clang echoed though the bathroom as the cool metal object slipped from her fingertips. The warmth flowed from her, the water around her now tepid and tinged scarlet. Her body was distressed and drained from the battle she had fought. Fought within her, a war which could not be won or lost, for the fight was with her. Water began to fill her lungs, but do not be fooled she was not drowning, for at last, she could finally breathe. At last she could rest.

Upon the floor was a lined, crumbled notebook page, ripped out, its edges carelessly torn. Heavy crease lines covered it, each fold line in the page, telling the story of how many times this ended had approached, only for something to change its course. Scrawled across the page in smudged black ink were only two words. The long battle for her life, and this was the result. Just two little words, to express her struggle, express her final wish. Forget me.

text:
Dear Employer;

In the interview for this position I said I didn’t care about money.  Money is not as important as experience and growth.  Gainful employment is nowhere near meaningful employment.  It is with this that after a lot of deliberation, counseling, youthful abandon and reveries of adventure I’ve decided to give my formal notification that I am resigning from {Company X} as a Software Analyst.  I am willing to work two business weeks further to help make sure everything is in order before I go.

For {Company X} I was willing to drink the punch.  I was willing to make sacrifices for the company.  The tasteless metaphor for cultic suicide pushed on us by leadership was something I was willing to look past.  Ultimately though, when it came down to it, punch was not served and for some reason I was left disappointed.  This company has made promises but has not delivered.  We’ve been led along with a carrot on a stick.  Whether through indirect lies surrounding corporate bonuses, lottery sized stock options or fantastical tropical holiday packages.  This is a prevalent theme throughout my entire time with company and it speaks directly to poor leadership.  Offer something real, something tangible and then show it don’t just talk about it.

In terms of our day to day with clients we’ve been far too reactionary and not responsive.  We’re less about providing something meaningful, something with real value and more about satisfying the noise.  The whole industry seems more about “flashy marketing facades of perceived value” than real value.  It with this that I came to the conclusion that our product isn’t {business solutions}.  Our product is sales.  This isn’t something I can get behind.  This isn’t something I can believe in.

Despite corporate folly and the disillusioning mantras I love the people I work with.  Each and everyone here is awesome and I’m lucky to have had an opportunity to work here.  My favorite time of year is during peer reviews.  Being able to write extensively about the strengths and the actions people here have made on the periphery to make a difference.  That being said, it really bothered me to see people not being recognized for the work they’re doing.  At one point our most talented and innovative junior programmer was relegated to creative arrest by corporate policy.  “That isn’t your job” and “You’re not even a real programmer” could be heard ringing through the halls.  A lack of insight let him go and now we’re stuck with dead code.  Incredible potential products left to rot essentially.  All his close friends here were left damaged at his mistreatment.  This is just one example but there are lots of others.  Considering work is a place to spend a third of each weekday.  Hours afterwards musing over at home.  Something that permeates my hopes and dreams.  I’d rather be somewhere other than here.  Anywhere else in fact.

If I can suggest anything to help this company it would be that every leader here spend a day or two working with client services taking tech support calls from the elderly, doing chat support for a group of brides to be, testing a survey with over a dozen pre-launch revisions, or try managing a project with one of {Sales Person #3547}'s clients (that’s a joke.. her clients are mostly alright).  See what we’re really providing our clients.

I still believe this company is awesome and has potential to do very well in the market.  For me personally I need to move onto other opportunities and adventures.  Feeling depressed and trapped is not something I'd wish on my worst enemy so I don't know why I willed it onto myself for so long.  Thank you so much for everything.

title: My Resignation Letter

[3 Secrets to Grow your Instagram]

You may think the more followers you have the better or you might think you’d get more credibility this way… Wrong! Let me share with you why it isn’t the only thing you need to thrive!

Having a pretty strong follow may seem like you are extremely known throughout Instagram and don’t get me wrong but when I reached my 2,000 followers I thought I was all that and a bag of chips. No joke.

The reality is, I was chasing the wrong thing and noticed I wasn’t getting any clicks on the link in my bio.

Engagement

We all know that content is super important and with Instagram’s Algorithm… it’s all about the Engagement and relevancy. This is one of the first marketing strategies you will need to grow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Engagement allows you to earn more sales, shares, likes, and seriously lots of opportunities as an influencer..

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Think of ways you can genuinely connect with your soulmate clients without sounding weird or icky. Making these connections will allow you to build a strong foundation. Plus, build your Credibility.

Liking

One thing I love about Instagram is this like feature because it shows your followers what you’ve liked and you can see what they’re liking as well. So, that’s gold. However, it doesn’t pay the bills and I’m sorry to tell you this awful news.

So, can you get a ton of likes without buying fake likes? Of course, you can. What you can do is:

-   Look at those profiles who are liking your photos and see if they resonate with you. If they’re real people, then you know you’re doing something right. If not, then you probably need to do the following.
-   Check your hashtags and this may be a no brainer but sometimes having certain hashtags can bring you more spammers than anything else.

Now, once you see who’s liking your content you can return the favor and causing them to engage with you more. Because the truth be told everyone knows and sees what they’re liking.

[][]

Comments

The second marketing strategy you need is comments! Comments are truly an amazing way to market yourself. How grateful am I when someone leaves a long positive comment? It shows me how they took a few minutes out of their time to leave a thoughtful comment. And in all seriousness, if you’re not commenting back you’re missing out big time.

Try your best to reply back to comments. Especially within the first 15-30 minutes of you posting. That time is super crucial.

Here’s something to consider:

If they left you an emoji comment, then return the favor with the same thing.

If they left you a long positive message, then return the favor the same way.
And finally, just make sure you interact with them, don’t leave them hanging there and just be yourself but not snobby. Oh, and don’t forget to tag them in the comment or they’ll never see it. There’s a chance they’ll see it but remember you want to leave a lasting impression.

Shares

The last marketing strategy you need is shares! I think this is one of my favorite strategies. You know how Facebook has that feature to share. Twitter has a re-tweet and so on. Instagram doesn’t quite have that but others can still share your content or vice versa.

There’s this thing called re-gram and of course, you can download the app or you can save the photo now with the new version of Instagram. It’s so cool because I don’t have to go back and forth looking for it anymore.

The great thing about when someone shares your content is that they’re sharing your content with their audience. How awesome is that? You’re getting double exposure right there and then.

One thing to keep in mind is if you’re going to be sharing others content is to tag them on the picture and on the caption, as well. This is so crucial because it can get you in big trouble if you don’t and that is copyright issues.

A Few More Tips:

-   Look at who is sharing your content
-   Are your pictures unique or can they be replicated? It’s hard to tell if others created content like yours and shared it or if they used yours to share. But pay close attention to what type of content they’re re-sharing.

Ntema Ndungidi, a highly touted minor-league baseball player from Montreal, is in a psychiatric facility in Arizona after a series of incidents that included separate arrests within two days for possession of marijuana and criminal trespass.

"Ntema needs to get treatment just like anyone else who has had some type of emotional setback," Mark Pieper, an agent at SFX Sports who represents the Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect, said yesterday.

Ndungidi, 21, who was playing for the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League, was released on a $10,000 (U.S.) cash bond and is scheduled for a pretrial conference in Scottsdale City Court on Dec. 5 in connection with the criminal trespass charge. Pieper said that hearing might be pushed back to January.

Both charges are misdemeanours. Ndungidi, who was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) but moved to Montreal at the age of three, was the 36th player chosen in the 1997 draft after impressing scouts with a number of teams as a raw prospect with the Montreal-based ABC baseball academy.

According to reports obtained from the Scottsdale Police Dept., Ndungidi was arrested at the Fashion Square Mall at 7:38 a.m. on Nov. 9, more than two hours after a security guard first noticed Ndungidi attempting to deposit an empty envelope into an automated teller machine without using a credit card.

Ndungidi flooded his cell at the Scottsdale City Jail by stuffing a blanket into the toilet, and was then transferred to the Maricopa County Jail. What happened after that is unclear, but Ndungidi was in the county jail from Nov. 9 until Nov. 22. He was released to his father, Ne-Nsoko Ndungidi.

The arrest for criminal trespass came two days after Ndungidi was arrested for marijuana possession in an emergency room at the Scottsdale Health Care-Osborn Hospital. According to police reports, Ndungidi had been taken to the facility by Jim Bronner, a player agent, for what the police report described as "a psychiatric evaluation."

Security personnel at the hospital called the police after Ndungidi started rolling a marijuana cigarette in the emergency room. Ndungidi was arrested at 8:35 p.m. after signing a release for refusal of treatment against medical advice and was released, pending laboratory tests on the marijuana and the formal filing of a complaint from the prosecutor.

Earlier that day, Ndungidi was driven home from the ballpark by Tom Trebelhorn, the Orioles director of organizational instruction. The Orioles will not confirm published reports that Ndungidi had tried to take infield practice in his street clothes instead of his uniform, and that he talked to his locker and was yelling at his teammates.

"[Ndungidi]got into a fast crowd, got involved with some fast company and into some things he didn't need to get into," Trebelhorn said. "He needs to get back on track and he's doing that right now. He's getting treatment. This could happen to a 21-year-old kid whether he's at Harvard or playing baseball in the Arizona Fall League."

Ndungidi was placed on the disqualified list by the Orioles when major-league clubs released their 40-man winter rosters. Until his recent problems, he had boosted his stock within the organization by batting .284 at Single-A Frederick with 10 home runs and 59 runs batted in, then hitting .242 at Double-A Bowie, with three homers and 13 runs batted in.

Ndungidi, who played in the Futures All-Star Game held in Atlanta in conjunction with the major-league All-Star Game, batted .289 with three homers and 17 RBIs in 76 at bats with the Solar Sox, and had stolen seven bases.

Ndungidi signed for $500,000 (U.S.) after being chosen by the Orioles with a compensatory draft choice received for the New York Yankees signing of free agent David Wells. He was represented at the time by his father.

question: What does the article say about Ndungidi's mental health?

answer: Ndungidi is in a psychiatric facility in Arizona after a series of incidents that included separate arrests within two days for possession of marijuana and criminal trespass. He was arrested at the Fashion Square Mall for depositing an empty envelope into an automated teller machine without using a credit card. He flooded his cell at the Scottsdale City Jail by stuffing a blanket into the toilet. He was then transferred to the Maricopa County Jail. He was arrested at the hospital for rolling a marijuana cigarette in the emergency room. He signed a release for refusal of treatment against medical advice.

critique: The answer contains extraneous information.

question: What does the article say about Ndungidi's treatment?

answer: Ndungidi is in a psychiatric facility in Arizona. He is undergoing treatment.

critique: The answer should mention that Ndungidi is getting treatment for his emotional problems.

question: What does the article say about Ndungidi's marijuana use?

answer: First, he was arrested for possession of marijuana in the emergency room at a hospital in Scottsdale, AZ. It was evidence of Ndungidi smoking the marijuana in the room which led to his arrest. When asked about smoking, he claimed that he just liked to roll them because it relaxes him. He said that the marijuana was a possession of his friend's. His arrest was a direct result of using the drug in the emergency room of a hospital. In contrast, the marijuana possession which led to him getting into trouble at the Fall league was a different event, unrelated to medical problems which led him to the emergency room.

critique: The answer gooses details out of order and the sentence is outside of the blockquote. The part about Ndungidi rolling a marijuana cigarette in the emergency room should be removed and replaced with the lineup and what he was charged with.

In contrast, the marijuana possession which led to him getting into trouble at the Fall league was a different event, unrelated to medical problems which led him to the emergency room." - The answer contains extraneous and incorrect information that should be removed.

PUSHING ON A STRING is a figure of speech for influence that is more effective in moving things in one direction than another – you can _pull,_ but not _push._

If something is connected to someone by a string, they can move it toward themselves by pulling on the string, but they cannot move it away from themselves by pushing on the string. It is often used in the context of economic policy, specifically the view that “Monetary policy [is] asymmetric; it being easier to stop an expansion than to end a severe contraction.”[1]

History

According to Roger G. Sandilans[2] and John Harold Wood[3] the phrase was introduced by Congressman T. Alan Goldsborough in 1935, supporting Federal Reserve chairman Marriner Eccles in Congressional hearings on the Banking Act of 1935:

    Governor Eccles: Under present circumstances, there is very little, if any, that can be done.

    Congressman Goldsborough: You mean you cannot push on a string.

    Governor Eccles: That is a very good way to put it, one cannot push on a string. We are in the depths of a depression and... beyond creating an easy money situation through reduction of discount rates, there is very little, if anything, that the reserve organization can do to bring about recovery.[4]

The phrase is, however, often attributed to John Maynard Keynes: “As Keynes pointed out, it's like pushing on a string...”,[5] “This is what Keynes meant by the phrase 'Pushing on a string.'”

The phrase is also used in regard to asymmetrical influence in other contexts; for example, in 1976 a labor statistician, writing in the New York Times about then US President elect Jimmy Carter's policies, wrote that

    in today's economy, reducing unemployment by stimulating employment has become more and more like pushing on a string.[6]

Predecessors

The appearance of the phrase in a 1910 medical book suggests that it was proverbial at the time Goldsborough used it:

    If the arm muscles have been thus taxed the arm drops as if paralyzed and can no more be forced to do work in chronic fatigue than we can push on a string.[7]

Monetary policy

“Pushing on a string” is particularly used to illustrate limitations of monetary policy, particularly that the money multiplier is an _inequality,_ a _limit_ on money creation, not an _equality_.

In modern economies with fractional-reserve banking, money creation follows a two-stage process. First, a central bank introduces new base money into the economy (termed 'expansionary monetary policy') by purchasing financial assets from or lending money to financial institutions. Second, the new money introduced by the central bank is multiplied by commercial banks through fractional reserve banking; this expands the amount of broad money (i.e. cash plus demand deposits) in the economy so that it is a multiple (known as the money multiplier) of the amount originally created by the central bank. Money is in essence _pulled_ from central banks to commercial banks, and then to borrowers. This is the crux of the “pushing on a string” metaphor – that money cannot be _pushed_ from the central bank to borrowers if they do not wish to borrow.

Alternatively, the process can be seen as borrowers demanding credit from commercial banks, who then borrow base money to provide reserves to back the new bank money: demand for credit _pulls_ base money from central banks. This presentation is particularly associated with, and seen as support for, endogenous money theory, such as monetary circuit theory, in that money supply is not determined by an exogenous (external) force (central bank policy), but rather a combination of central bank policy and endogenous (internal) business reasons.

Commercial banks extend loans, and borrowers take out loans, for commercial reasons – because they expect to benefit from them: banks profit by charging interest on the loan higher than they must pay on _their_ debts (the “spread”), while borrowers may for instance invest the money (hire workers, build a factory), speculate with it, or use it for consumption. These loans must in turn be backed by _reserves_ – this is a legal requirement, otherwise banks could print unlimited quantities of money – and banks are allowed to extend as loans some multiple of reserves: in a fractional-reserve banking system banks are allowed to extend _more_ loans than they have reserves (the ratio is called the money multiplier, and is greater than 1), while in a full-reserve banking loans must be precisely backed by reserves and the money multiplier is 1. The distinction between fractional-reserve and full-reserve is not significant in this context – the important point is that in both systems, loans must be backed by reserves.

Crucially, central banks can _limit_ money creation by either limiting the _amount_ of base money extended, thus denying reserves and preventing commercial banks from extending further loans, or by raising the _price_ of base money extended by increasing interest rates and thus making loans less profitable for the bank (raising the hurdle rate), and while relaxing these constraints can _encourage_ money creation, central banks cannot _force_ commercial banks to extend credit – monetary policy can _pull_ but not _push_.

If there is unmet demand for credit money, then credit money is _pulling_ and monetary policy can be effective, by being more or less restrictive, just as if a dog or horse is pulling on a leash or bridle its speed can be regulated by reining it in or letting it loose – one says that the reserve requirement constraint is binding. If, conversely, all demand for credit money is being met, either because banks do not wish to lend (finding it too risky or unprofitable) or borrowers do not wish to borrow (having no use for added debt, such as due to lack of business opportunities), then the string is slack, the reserve constraint is not binding, and monetary policy is ineffective: monetary policy allows reining in a horse, but does not allow whipping it on.

The breakdown in monetary policy is particularly damaging because it often occurs in financial crises such as the Great Depression and the Financial crisis of 2007–2010: in the midst of a crisis, banks will be more cautious about lending money due to higher risk of default, and borrowers will be more cautious about borrowing money because of lack of investment and speculation opportunities: if demand is dropping, new investment is unlikely to be profitable, and if asset prices are dropping (following the bursting of a speculative bubble), speculation on rising asset prices is unlikely to prove profitable.

Excess reserves

Restated, increases in central bank money may not result in commercial bank money because the money is not _required_ to be lent out – it may instead result in a growth of unlent reserves (excess reserves).

If banks maintain low levels of excess reserves, as they did in the US from 1959 to August 2008, then central banks can finely control broad (commercial bank) money supply by controlling central bank money creation, as the multiplier gives a direct and fixed connection between these.[8]

title: Pushing on a string

question: Summarise how the theory of supply and demand corresponds with the "pushing on a string" metaphor on money creation and circulation in the financial industry.

answer: The theory of supply and demand correlates with the "pushing on a string" metaphor on money creation and circulation in the financial industry. The theory states that in order to create money, the central bank must first introduce new base money into the economy. This money is then multiplied by commercial banks through fractional reserve banking. However, money cannot be pushed from the central bank to borrowers if they do not wish to borrow.

critique: The answer does not mention that the money is pulled from central banks to commercial banks.

critique: The answer should mention that the money multiplier is asymmetric.

critique: The answer should mention that the money multiplier is asymmetrical.

critique: This is a general summary of the article; it doesn't specifically mention the theory of supply and demand.

critique: The answer should mention the reserve requirement.

critique: The response has some unnecessary information.

critique: The answer should mention that the money cannot be pushed from the central bank to borrowers if they do not wish to borrow.

critique: The answer could be more specific about the money creation process.

Whenever I see the letter W my mind is immediately drawn to visions of water. Thoughts of long refreshing swims and warm summer weather follows shortly after and it’s not long before I start looking up destinations to visit that all revolve around the letter W.

It just so happens that this letter also represents one of my favourite hotel brands.

W Hotels wow you with details regardless of where you choose to stay with them in the world. The W Singapore – Sentosa Cove is no exception and is the ideal stopover destination if you’re keen to float around and soak up the sunshine before your next flight.

Located on the lush little island paradise of Sentosa, this hotel is a trendy, relaxing haven of all things tropical and water is a key focus! While you can explore the nearby attractions of Sentosa Island and visit the southern most point of South-East Asia at Palawan Beach or wander through Sentosa ResortWorld and the impressive SEA Aquarium, sometimes a stopover should just be about chill time.

W Hotels are the concept kings in my opinion when it comes to transforming public areas of their properties around the world. The custom WET area is exactly as the name suggests, a wonderland of all things watery and the place I spent 80 per cent of my time in Singapore! Groovy music, inflatable swans, hammocks draped under the palm trees, a pool bar and the essential element, a giant swimming pool.

My super sleek room was located in the Away Spa wing and this meant I was lucky enough to have my own private plunge pool, one I can tell you I jumped in straight away even though I arrived at midnight! Midnight swims are the best after all right!? My camera took a little while to get used to the humidity but after letting it rest on my daybed, it was ready and I took it with me photographing from pool to pool until 2am.

Cupcakes on arrival (key to my heart!), a personalised greeting card complete with a photo of me from my travels and my favourite…a princess rubber ducky for the pool. Hello stopover heaven.

Take a visual peek below at my stay…
