Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Omdat kinderen in onze wijk geen gezelschapsspelletjes spelen thuis. Omdat het voor verbinding zorgt tussen kinderen onderling, maar ook met hun ouders. Dus mocht jij toevallig nog wat spelletjes hebben thuis die je graag wilt doneren aan ons: graag. Heel graag. Echt heel graag.
