A medieval word meaning
compensation as well as solace, comfort and an injection of energy. The oddly titled stimulus package, issued in three parts, to assist business owners stricken by government-mandated closures to curb infection. The irony of Pietro Metastasio’s lyrics in his opera libretto
Demetrio was not lost on the many restaurateurs affected:
Tu non mi fai risolvere, / Speranza lusinghiera; / Sei l’ultima a morir. / No, dell’altrui tormento / No, che non sei ristoro; / Ma servi d’alimento / Al credulo desir. (You help me not to resolve / Flattering hope / You were the first to be born / You are the last to die / No, torment of others / No, you are no comfort / But help to nourish / credulous desire.) Many took matters into their own hands, pivoting to takeaway and home deliveries, with the guaranteed pittance that provides.

NRG s Huntley Generating Station in the Town of Tonawanda has been closed since 2016, and the property s future remains unclear.
But National Grid has removed an obstacle to redevelopment of the high-profile industrial site. At the same time, the utility has invested in its own power distribution equipment next door, benefiting some of the region s largest industrial customers.
National Grid recently finished pouring nearly $50 million into its switchyard adjacent to the Huntley plant that looms over the Niagara River. The utility separated its switchyard s operations from the plant, and installed new equipment for feeding electricity to employers including General Motors, Aurubis Buffalo and Sumitomo Rubber USA.

What NME said: “It’s packed with their unique brand of undefinable, genre-bending indie-jazz, plus the hip-hop-influenced sound that they’ve tinkered with since their 2017 arrival, but there’s a decidedly pop edge this time around. There are songs on this mixtape that deserve to be right up there in the UK charts. Whether it’s the funky ‘Nice Guys’, the wonky ‘Earth’ or the tongue-in-cheek ‘Dead Celebrities’, there’s proof here that Easy Life are becoming some of Britain’s most astute and witty songwriters.” Read more

December 14 marks the 75
th anniversary of the death of Maurice Baring, literary convert, bestselling novelist and beloved friend of G. K. Chesterton. To commemorate the anniversary and to celebrate the legacy of this great but neglected Catholic writer, Joseph Pearce was interviewed by Jan Franczak for the Polish journal, PCh24.pl. This is the interview’s first publication in English.
Jan Franczak: In our conversation about Hilaire Belloc we mentioned briefly Maurice Baring (1874-1945), a friend of Chesterton and Belloc. Baring, who died exactly 75 years ago, was as prolific as his two friends: a poet, a playwright, a novelist and in addition a diplomat and a polyglot. However, it seems that not only in Poland but also in the English-speaking world most people rather remember the “Chesterbelloc”, as Bernard Shaw called Baring’s two friends.
