Every time I tell a normal human that economists gather for work on the first weekend in January every year, and they are FLABBERGASTED, I am reminded that this is an odd choice we’ve made as a profession

Ante tanta tontería y mala baba, este, casi minimalista, texto de Eduard Sola.

L'Ajuntament de Girona ha habilitat el Palau de Fires com a punt per acollir les persones que no hagin pogut tornar a casa per l'aturada del servei ferroviari. L’espai s’ha equipat amb 180 llits, mantes, taules i cadires, i hi ha servei de lavabo. A partir de les 20h ja s'ha obert.

If you accept to write a recommendation letter to one of your students... in that letter, do NOT recommend another candidate. It is unfair and unethical. That is not what the student expects. Simply, don't write the letter. Have the guts to say the student that you can't recommend him/her.
