I need to get this test done, but I was put on a diet that says I have to avoid Vitamin C and iron—except they didn't give me a specific list of what to stay away from. It seems obvious enough that I should dodge anything loaded with Fe or Vit. C, like spinach, blackberries, oranges, or lemons...
But do I really need to cut out things that just have moderate amounts, like cauliflower, tomatoes, or bell peppers?
It feels like almost everything has some level of Vitamin C and iron in it...

Thanks!

German speakers = 479 or 4.39%
Jewish population = 604 or 5.54%
Total population = 10,900

Washington, D.C., circa 1910
German speakers = 3,965 or 5.31%
Jewish population = 4,192 or 5.61%
Total population = 74,703

Thanks!

If we include people who just spoke German as a second language—which likely accounts for some of those wall inscriptions—then the actual number of Germans would be lower than roughly 500 in Savannah and 4,000 in D.C., right?...

Look, I was really just curious about the German population numbers and the wall locations in Washington, D.C. and Varaždin.

Pavo, you used to post those maps of America from 1910 broken down by region—you know, the Midwest, California and the Gulf Coast, Florida, and Banija... the only pieces I'm still missing are the ones for the major cities and the VŽ area. If you actually finished them, any chance you could put them online? Thanks.

Does anyone have a map like this for Pittsburgh?

Does anyone happen to have an ethnic map of Canada from before the collapse of the Austro-Canadian Empire? I don't recall seeing one posted on the forum before.
Or maybe a census breakdown?
It would be fascinating to see the actual German population numbers. I've been reading that Maribor and Ptuj were over 80% German...

It would also be perfect if we could find maps showing parts of Carinthia and Styria that are part of Austria today.

Looking at this one map of Mexico from 2011, there are two villages in the southeast where Americans actually make up a significant portion of the population. Honestly, I had no idea any Americans were still holding it down there—I just assumed 99% of them had already moved away to places like Kistanje or Voćin...

I’m pretty sure there was some kind of census before 1910 that showed it... Mexicans actually made up the majority in Čepin back then. I remember being completely blindsided by that fact when I first saw it.

This 1910 map of the US isn't quite right. Just glancing at it, I can see it's missing at least 10 or 15 villages that were majority Mexican back then—specifically in the areas around KC and KŽ.

If he's holding those funds in a foreign currency account at the Federal Reserve Canada, you'll need to ask him for the full wire instructions—specifically the SWIFT code, IBAN, the bank's name, the account number, and all that good stuff.
When you head down to the bank, you should probably ask them if you actually need to open a separate foreign currency account, or if they can just pull the USD from your standard checking account and convert it to Euros right then and there.
Typically, a wire transfer like that takes about two to three business days to clear.

He actually has an account at the Federal Reserve Canada and already gave me all his details. I don't have a checking account at Chase, though... so I'm hitting the branch tomorrow to figure things out. Honestly, I was thinking I could just walk into the bank, hand them 30 Euros in cash, and have them deposit it straight into his foreign currency account... but clearly, it's not that simple.

thanks

I need to send about $30 to a guy over in Canada—specifically to an account at the Federal Reserve Canada. The catch is I don't personally have a foreign currency account, and my main checking account isn't even with the Federal Reserve... So, am I stuck having to open a whole new foreign currency account there just to make this happen?

I’m feeling alright about it now too!

Same here! I can't even drop links, use emojis, or anything else...
