Swift's satirical essay "A Modest Proposal" ridicules the deplorable conditions in Ireland through an outlandish proposal: that the poor should sell their children as food to the rich. Through irony and emotive language, Swift highlights the indifference of the wealthy classes to the suffering poor, as well as England's exploitative treatment of Ireland. While targeting these social ills, the satire also attacks deeper issues in human nature, suggesting people only care about money. Ultimately, Swift argues for alternatives like reforming landlords, trade, and social attitudes rather than his fictitious proposal.
The Iliad is a story about how Achilles and Agamemnon were arguing over their beautiful concubines captured in the Trojan War. Capturing concubines during war was common in the ancient world, in Greece, Rome, and during Old Testament times, there are even laws in the Torah on how soldiers should treat their captured concubines. And up to the time of Trent many church councils forbade kidnapping as an acceptable form of courtship.
The first sentence of the Greek class the Iliad starts with the RAGE of Achilles, the rage that made him the most dreaded warrior of the Greeks, the rage that drove him to slay so many noble Trojan warriors. But the Iliad was about another type of rage, the rage which urged him to withdraw from battle, the rage he felt when the main King Agamemnon seized the beloved concubine maiden Briseis from Achilles.
We will also look at how morality or history of concubines are discussed by:
• Iliad and Odyssey
• Roman mythology
• Book of Judges
• Torah
• Rabbis, Ramban or Maimonides
• Origen
• St Augustine
• Council of Trent

Truths Universally Acknowledged: Swift Design Patterns As Jane Austen Heroesnorthofnormal
Have you ever looked at your code and realized that a certain design pattern was charging in like a romantic hero, sweeping away the confusion and bringing order to chaos? Or perhaps you've encountered a pattern that you utterly hated...until it's virtues slowly grew on you as you realized that the alternative was a complete disaster? Let's imagine Ada Lovelace reading Jane Austen, and compare some of my favorite design patterns with some of my favorite Jane Austen heroes.
Note: I'll be showing Swift code, but neither knowledge of Swift nor Jane Austen are required.

The Iliad, a warrior saga, has two visiting enemy camp stories. To truly highlight the hazards of such visits, and to gain a better understanding of how life was lived in a warrior society, we will compare these stories to a few of the visiting enemy camp stories a remarkable collection of short stories in the “Tales of the Northwest,” a collection of remarkable stories of Indian life and culture in the American frontier.
One of the most courageous characters of the Iliad is Chryses, the father of Chryseis, priest to Apollo, who ALONE visits the armed camp of the enemy, the camp of the Greeks, bringing a ransom for his beloved daughter, Chryseis, whom King Agamemnon has captured as his concubine. Another courageous figure is King Priam, who with a disguised god visits the enemy camp of the Achaeans to ransom the body of his son Hector, whom Achilles has been dragging behind his chariot around the walls of Troy, so the Trojans can properly bury the dead Hector to release his soul to the underworld.
The stories in the “Tales of the Northwest” chronicles multiple visiting enemy camp stories where fathers ransom their captured daughters, and where braves ransom their captures wives, all of which are similar to these scenes in the saga of the Iliad. The first few stories illustrate the maxim that in these tense enemy camp meetings hospitality must be shown, a meal must be shared, and in the Indian versions everyone must take a smoke from the shared pipe. Both host and guest must be respectful, lest them doom their fate. In both stories an enemy Indian band had killed most of the family or tribe, except for the Indian daughter or wife whom the brave visitor seeks to ransom.
We have a final story of how Pope Leo successfully and bravely rides into the enemy camp of Attila the Hun, unarmed, and persuades him not to invade and sack Rome.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

12. A Modest Proposal: Paragraph 1 It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants: who as they grow up either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes. The tone is reasonable and compassionate…
13. A Modest Proposal: Paragraph 4 It is true, a child just dropped from its dam may be supported by her milk for a solar year, with little other nourishment; at most not above the value of 2s ., which the mother may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging; and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner as instead of being a charge upon their parents or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall on the contrary contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing, of many thousands. … until the semantic field begins to shift, introducing both a financial element and a dehumanising portrayal of the peasantry as metaphorical animals.
14. A Modest Proposal: Paragraph 5 There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent among us! sacrificing the poor innocent babes I doubt more to avoid the expense than the shame , which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast. Note that the use of EMOTIVE language continues; Swift’s narrator mixes rationality and emotion to make his point. Here, he introduces the savagely satirical theme that people are only motivated by money .
15. A Modest Proposal – Paragraph 8 I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection. I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London , that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout. The satire needs to be plausible on SOME level; to aid this, Swift’s narrator represents himself as a humble, reasonable man. Note the appeal to authority (and the swipe at ‘savage’ Americans.)
16. A Modest Proposal – Paragraph 8 At this point, however, it becomes clear that Swift is not REALLY proposing cannibalism; what he is saying is not what he actually means, thus, he is being IRONIC . The reader starts to be aware of layered meanings, and to start looking for the ‘real’ meaning, the ‘real’ object of the satire. WHO OR WHAT IS SWIFT SATIRISING?
17. A Modest Proposal Some of Swift’s targets are obvious. Firstly, the useless but wealthy, largely Anglo-English, classes (especially landlords) who do so much to exacerbate suffering. For example: ‘… several plump young girls in this town, who without one single groat to their fortunes cannot stir abroad without a chair, and appear at playhouse and assemblies in foreign fineries which they never will pay for…’ ‘ The poorer tenants will have something valuable of their own, which by law may be made liable to distress and help to pay their landlord's rent, their corn and cattle being already seized, and money a thing unknown.’
18. A Modest Proposal However, the Irish poor themselves do not escape censure: ‘… these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages…’ ‘ It would increase the care and tenderness of mothers toward their children, when they were sure of a settlement for life to the poor babes, provided in some sort by the public, to their annual profit instead of expense. We should see an honest emulation among the married women, which of them could bring the fattest child to the market. Men would become as fond of their wives during the time of their pregnancy as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, their sows when they are ready to farrow; nor offer to beat or kick them (as is too frequent a practice) for fear of a miscarriage…’
19. A Modest Proposal More generally, Swift is attacking the social attitudes and priorities which create such terrible conditions: ‘ The question therefore is, how this number shall be reared and provided for, which, as I have already said, under the present situation of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed…’ ‘ … the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor clothes to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of entailing the like or greater miseries upon their breed for ever.’
20. A Modest Proposal England comes in for specific attack, because of her exploititative (‘cannibalistic’) treatment of Ireland: ‘… I fortunately fell upon this proposal, which, as it is wholly new, so it hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England . For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, and flesh being of too tender a consistence, to admit a long continuance in salt, although perhaps I could name a country, which would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it .’
21. A Modest Proposal More generally, and more profoundly, human nature itself seems to be attacked; see the assumption here, for example, that people would only act if motivated by money – that eating children would be wrong IF the narrator was personally profiting: ‘ I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavoring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the public good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. I have no children by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.’
22. A Modest Proposal Finally – does Swift suggest an alternative? Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: Of using neither cloaths, nor houshold furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury: Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance: Of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from Laplanders, and the inhabitants of Topinamboo: Of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the Jews, who were murdering one another at the very moment their city was taken: Of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: Of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants. Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shop-keepers, who, if a resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact upon us in the price, the measure, and the goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair proposal of just dealing, though often and earnestly invited to it.
