High Powered

1) Term which refers to the monetary base (M1), which is highly liquid money including currency and vault cash. It is given its name due to the considerable aggregate change in the monetary base that can be brought about by the money multiplier.

2) Track #12 on Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic', characterized by the use of a sine wave synthesizer. It gave its listeners a harsh understanding of the early 1990s West Coast gangsta mentality through the lyrics of Dr. Dre, RBX, and Daz.
The Fed projects that by increasing the monetary base by 1%, the entire money supply will consequently increase by 8%. Hence, our monetary base is "high powered".

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
