Het tekenen van de Eindrekening en verantwoording » Zumpolle Advocaten

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/02

Voor mijn link-archief:

Het ondertekenen van de Eindrekening en verantwoording is een vorm van décharge en dat houdt in dat de oude bewindvoerder door de nieuwe bewindvoerder gevrijwaard wordt van aansprakelijkheid voor het gevoerde bewind.

GitHub – spotDL/spotify-downloader: Download your Spotify playlists and songs along with album art and metadata (from YouTube if a match is found).

Need to check the matching algorithm of [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – spotDL/spotify-downloader: Download your Spotify playlists and songs along with album art and metadata (from YouTube if a match is found).

A bit later I also found [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits – Transcription (with original score) – YouTube with [Wayback/Archive] The Incredits Sheet Music for Piano, Trombone, Tuba, Flute piccolo & more instruments (Symphony Orchestra) | MuseScore.com

Via [Wayback/Archive] Youtube-dl supports Spotify. How to use it? : youtubedl.

answers it:

366+31+1 = 398 days

It equals one leap year + one month + “a little room to handle the messiness of dates.”

then posts a lot of quotes from references to the history on how that reason came to be. I have archived and listed the links below.

Most of the discussion was during a very hectic time in life: after a single sided bad accident my mentally retarded brother was in and assisting him during his recovery period, I developed cancer and had extensive treatments against it. All the more reason for missing all this:
