4045348048198 – 500 Sheets A4 80 GSM 4 Hole Punched White Multiuse – MERCATEO.nl

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/07/22

This is about half of what Staples itself charges: [WayBack] Staples Multiuse Multifunctioneel Papier voor Laser en Inkjet, A4 80 g/m² Wit | Staples®

Amazon.de sells it too, but it does not ship to The Netherlands: [Archive.isSTAPLES Multifunktionspapier multiuse, A4, 80 g/m², 4fach Lochung, weiß (500 Blatt): AmazonSmile: Bürobedarf & Schreibwaren

There is the same from Xerox: [WayBack] Kopierpapier Business weiß 4x gelocht 80g/qm A4 VE=500 Blatt bei Mercateo günstig kaufen also available on Amazon.de: [Archive.isXerox Business 003R91823 Multifunktionspapier 80 g/m² 4-fach gelocht 500 Blatt pro Ries Format A4 1 Ries weiß: AmazonSmile: Bürobedarf & Schreibwaren

However, the Xerox 003R91823 from Amazon is just ONE pack, not 5 packs!

Edit 20210314

Easier to find this in The Netherlands with this phrase: [Wayback] a4 papier 4gt – Google Search

Many words to use instead of “very” in English – ESL Buzz, ProofReadingServices

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/07/19

Speaking English as second language often makes me search for accurate words. I’ve noticed that even a lot of native English speakers use “very” too often as usually better words exist.

These two pages have lots of replacements of “very …” combinations into a single word, with infographics and even poster size materials:

Found after searching the source of [WayBack] Try these words in your next Email – I’m Programmer.

Deciding which replacement to use, or to stay with “very” depends on who you are communicating with, as the counter example at [WayBack] Communicating Compassionately with Non-Native English Speakers; Taming the Steamroller – Molly Clare Wilson – Medium shows (thanks Kristian Köhntopp for attending me to that).

  1. Put the the 3-wire program connector into the remote
  2. Hold a metal object to the 3 pins of the program connector to short them
  3. Push a button: Now that button has been cleared.
  4. Remote the metal object from the 3 pins of the program connector
  5. Push the same button: If it has been cleared, your gate/garage won’t move

Boek met tips voor ouders en broers/zussen die behandelbeslissingen moeten nemen voor een verstandelijk beperkt persoon

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/31

Ook voor brussen (boers/zussen):

De meeste ouders van een kind met een verstandelijke of meervoudige beperking komen meer dan eens voor een medische beslissing te staan voor hun kind. Wat kan en mag je als ouder/verzorger? Wat kan en mag een arts? Hoe ga je samen in gesprek en wat zegt de wet hierover? Hierover gaat het boek “Als je niet zelf kan beslissen”.
