<br />
Wetsvoorstellen worden als tijdlijn weergegeven waarin alle bijbehorende documenten, besluiten, moties, amendementen en stemmingsuitslagen in chronologische volgorde zichtbaar zijn.<br />
<br />
Een voorbeeld is het wetsvoorstel over orgaandonatie: <a href="https://www.openkamer.org/dossier/tijdlijn/33506/">https://www.openkamer.org/dossier/tijdlijn/33506/</a><br />

risico zou een keuze moeten zijn. Wie geld giraal -dus op een
bankrekening- wil aanhouden, kon tot nu toe niet kiezen voor een bank
die geen risico neemt door het verstrekken van leningen. Straks wel."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Stichting Full Reserve probeert een bank op te richting zonder winstoogmerk en zonder geldschepping. Daarvoor zijn 16000 oprichters (leden) nodig. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Het lijkt me mooi als een dergelijke bank er komt. Vreemd dat we die mogelijkheid nu niet hebben. </span><br />

<br />They have a webapp, <a href="http://meldpunt.fietsersbond.nl/">meldpunt.fietsersbond.nl</a>, where you can report any issue related to cycle lanes and cycling infrastructure. Anything from glass or dirt on the road, to dangerous situations. Reports are usually (automatically) forwarded to local authorities. I have good experience with actions taken after filing a report.<br />
<br />
The fietsersbond has only 35,000 members (compared to 4,100,000 for the ANWB). <br />
Please consider joining the bond, <a href="http://lid.fietsersbond.nl/">lid.fietsersbond.nl</a>.

It seems like a pretty good result to me and gives way more insight than any four letter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_Indicator">Myers-Briggs personality</a> test (i.e. INTJ) I've taken before. Though I do spot some huge misses too, like Curiosity 31%?<br />

I'm gonna try and compare it with inputting my MSc thesis next. I'm guessing there will be quite some difference. Maybe not, <a href="http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/developercloud/doc/personality-insights/guidance.shtml">according to the research you need self reflective words</a> and it was trained on social media such as twitter, blog posts, and forum posts. Makes sense. Gonna be harder to pull another 6000 words out of the Reddit hat.<br />

I found this documentary quite fascinating although it doesn't really teach anything, it only tells the story of the most lethal day in the history of K2 using rather good re-enactments and stunning images of the landscape.

<b>The Egg<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
By: Andy Weir</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
You were on your way home when you died.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The <span class="SpellE">EMTs</span> tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
And that’s when you met me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
“There was a… a truck and it was skidding…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
“Yup,” I said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
“I… I died?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?”</div>
