Solmonath potest dici mensis placentarum quas in eo diis suis offerebant – Bede. (Sol-Monath can be said to be the month of cakes, which were offered to their gods).
Solmōnaþ fell around our February and as Bede claimed, was named for Sol-cakes (hearth cakes) that were offered to the gods. The hearth cake recipe was very simple (according to the Early English Bread Project) just flour and water - anything from pea flour to wheat or rye depending on wealth. The Irish word bannock and the Germanic scone both come from words meaning ‘flour’ so may have a similar origin. My family-hearth will make an offering of these on the Solmōnaþ full moon, which falls on the 12th.

Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee.
