I’m not even 100% sure I’m interpreting the letters correctly. If anyone is good with old German print or historical maps and wouldn’t mind taking a look, I’d really appreciate it! I’m mainly curious about g1, g2, and g3, as well as the red numbered circles. Danke!

Is there a benevolent German speaker out there who could help me decipher a map legend? I’m looking at an old map of Cameroon (“Pflanzungsgesellschaft Süd-Kamerun – Besitzungen, Versuchsstellen”), and parts of the legend are really hard to read / possibly distorted.

More than 75% of the long-run income gains from migration are domestic. The home economy itself grows.

Here's what we found: 🧵

Strasbourg. « Natali n’est pas seule » : le lycée des Pontonniers en appelle au préfet pour « sauver » une élève menacée d’expulsion Professeurs et élèves du lycée des Pontonniers à Strasbourg ont écrit au préfet du Bas-Rhin pour l’implorer de revenir sur la décision d’expulser leur ...

La réalité des OQTF est bien éloignée de ce que veut nous faire croire l'extrême droite.

La situation de Natali Saralidze en témoigne : lycéenne brillante, elle est menacée d'expulsion alors que sa vie est en France.

Je lui adresse tout mon soutien.

Things are not okay.

On the rooftop of the largest Russian compound in Vienna, dubbed “Russencity”, the frequency with which dishes are repositioned suggests they are being used to target multiple satellites. On the eve of the Munich Security Conference last month, for example, one of the biggest dishes was reoriented.

New @nber.org WP out from Bocar Ba today. I edited several rounds on this paper and remain so impressed that while lots of economists have frozen or relabeled their research agendas related to racial equity, Bocar has held steady. He's brave and I'm proud to be his editor www.nber.org/papers/w34933

Nice! It would be nice to add a feature that allows users to filter grants by field.

It happened a couple of weeks ago (and I have not used it since then...). For me it was after installing a couple of packages. Not sure what happened. I'll have to use it again from next week so I'll delve into that but if you find a fix before LMK! Good luck!

Tell us how you solve this because I am facing a similar problem! =)
