You Gotta Know How to Fold’em

Posted on by Robert Eck

Every time I finish a letter, I experience difficulty folding it neatly to fit within my small 6.5” X 3.63” envelopes.  Obviously, the perfectly folded letter would be a 1/4 inch shorter around than the envelope size (6.25” X 3.5.”) My varying folding attempts became either too large to fit within the envelope, or too small and bulky, leaving considerable unused envelope space.  The perfect fold became an obsession, so I studied how to fold a standard 11” X 8.5” sheet into a 6.25 X 3.5 packet.

 Plan One: Fold sheet in half horizontally, thus reducing the 11” height to 5.75”,” and then fold into thirds vertically, which reduces the width 8.5” dimension to 2.83.”  Three folds that fit, but the finished packet proved much too small (5.75” X 2.83”) — too much unused inner space, almost one inch around within the envelope.  I needed more efficiency.

Plan Two: Fold the sheet in half vertically, reducing the width from 8.5” to 4.25”, and then folding in thirds horizontally.  No Good, as the result yielded a 4.25 X 3.66,” — even smaller than Plan One. 

Plan Three: Use a ruler. Fold the sheet a measured 2.25” inches in from the right margin, reducing the paper width to 6.25,” (a dimension easily slidable  within a 6.5” envelope) and then fold the remainder into thirds. Unfortunately, though meeting the length dimension, it exceeded the vertical space by 1/4,” thus requiring folding over part of the envelope flap to cover the insert. Though it worked, it created an unsightly annoyance in exceeding the envelope’s inner space.      

Plan Four:  Fold the bottom margin a measured 4 1/2”, thus reducing the vertical dimension to exactly 7,” and then fold the remainder in half again to reach an optimum 3 1/2” width, using just two folds.  Thereafter, fold the right margin inward 2 1/2” to fit within the envelope.  Plan Four works, efficiently uses all the inner envelope space, but unfortunately, leaves an imbalanced bulge on one side. By now, desperation has set in.  

Plan Five:  Fold the paper along its diagonal, connecting the opposed corner points, yielding a pair of slightly misaligned triangle sections, which can be improved by refolding each triangle lower corner point to meet the opposite horizontal line, looking more like an Origami project. To complete, fold the end points toward the opposite margin.  Walla!  In just four folds, it almost fits!  All that remains is to snip off the two small corner point pieces and the letter is completely tucked within the envelope inner space, with no bulges or wasted space.  To be sure, the fold lines appear a little odd, but the letter may be unfolded easily.  As far as the small snippets, no one ever writes anything in those corner point spaces anyway.

My study has reached the perfect solution:  Buy larger envelopes!

  47. I think this is one of the most significant information for me. And i am glad reading your article. But wanna remark on few general things, The site style is wonderful, the articles is really excellent : D. Good job, cheers

  63. Thanks for any other informative blog. The place else may just I get that type of info written in such a perfect manner? I’ve a challenge that I am simply now running on, and I’ve been on the look out for such info.

  64. Thanks for your article. I also believe laptop computers have gotten more and more popular lately, and now will often be the only type of computer included in a household. This is due to the fact that at the same time that they are becoming more and more economical, their processing power is growing to the point where they’re as strong as desktop computers out of just a few years ago.

  74. One thing I have actually noticed is that often there are plenty of common myths regarding the finance institutions intentions when talking about foreclosure. One delusion in particular is that often the bank prefers to have your house. The financial institution wants your money, not the home. They want the amount of money they lent you with interest. Staying away from the bank will still only draw the foreclosed final result. Thanks for your write-up.

  75. Great blog post. A few things i would like to make contributions about is that pc memory is required to be purchased in case your computer still cannot cope with anything you do with it. One can install two RAM boards with 1GB each, by way of example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should check the maker’s documentation for own PC to be certain what type of memory is needed.

  76. wonderful post, very informative. I ponder why the other specialists of this sector do not understand this. You should proceed your writing. I’m sure, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!

  79. I抳e learn some excellent stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot effort you set to make this sort of magnificent informative website.

  86. Whether you believe in God or not, this is a must-read message!!!

    Throughout time, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?

    In Revelation 13:16-18, we read,

    “He (the false prophet who decieves many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

    Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!

    These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate only in one place.

    This is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implatnable RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip

    “Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).

    Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.

    Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.

    Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip.”

    Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:

    “And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).

    You can read more about it here–and to also understand the mystery behind the number 666: https://2ruth.org/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed/

    The third angel’s warning in Revelation 14:9-11 states,

    “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.'”

    Who is Barack Obama, and why is he still in the public scene?

    So what’s in the name? The meaning of someone’s name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.

    Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “…I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”

    The Hebrew Strongs word (H1299) for “lightning”: “bârâq” (baw-rawk)

    In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 14, we read about Lucifer (Satan) saying in his heart:

    “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”

    In the verses in Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it mentions him falling from the heights or the heavens. The Hebrew word for the heights or heavens used here is Hebrew Strongs 1116: “bamah”–Pronounced (bam-maw’)

    In Hebrew, the letter “Waw” or “Vav” is often transliterated as a “U” or “O,” and it is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter “U” or “O” would be used. So, Baraq “O” Bam-Maw or Baraq “U” Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to “Lightning from the heights.” The word “Satan” in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore “Satan.”

    So when Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven, if this were to be spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew–the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, And I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.

    The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backward (the devil does things in reverse) we would get “ailam ahsatan”. Now if we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the false god of Islam), we get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

    Obama’s campaign logo when he ran in 2008 was a sun over the horizon in the west, with the landscape as the flag of the United States. In Islam, they have their own messiah that they are waiting for called the 12th Imam, or the Mahdi (the Antichrist of the Bible), and one prophecy concerning this man’s appearance is the sun rising in the west.

    “Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.'” (Revelation 14:6-7)

    Why have the word’s of Jesus in His Gospel accounts regarding His death, burial, and resurrection, been translated into over 3,000 languages, and nothing comes close? The same God who formed the heavens and earth that draws all people to Him through His creation, likewise has sent His Word to the ends of the earth so that we may come to personally know Him to be saved in spirit and in truth through His Son Jesus Christ.

    Jesus stands alone among the other religions that say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into reality?

    Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather by the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?

    God has brought down His moral laws through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has put in each and every one of us, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, murder, and so forth.

    We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh about 2,000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.

    The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood.

    For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.

    This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all perish to hell forever. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.

    So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death–now being conformed into the image of the heavenly man in a new nature, and no longer in the image of the fallen man Adam.

    Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins, and to receive His Holy Spirit that we may be born again (for Jesus says we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God–John chapter 3). This is not just head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him in obedience to His Word by reading the Bible.

    Our works cannot save us, but they can condemn us; it is not that we earn our way into everlasting life, but that we obey our Lord Jesus Christ:

    “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)

    “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’

    Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’

    And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8).

  87. This is very interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I’ve joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I’ve shared your website in my social networks!

  88. This is very attention-grabbing, You are an excessively skilled blogger. I have joined your feed and stay up for in search of more of your fantastic post. Additionally, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks!

  91. As I website possessor I believe the content material here is rattling magnificent , appreciate it for your hard work. You should keep it up forever! Good Luck.

  92. I have realized that online diploma is getting common because accomplishing your degree online has become a popular selection for many people. Numerous people have not necessarily had a possible opportunity to attend a traditional college or university but seek the increased earning potential and career advancement that a Bachelor Degree grants. Still some others might have a qualification in one discipline but want to pursue something they now develop an interest in.

  94. Thanks for your blog post. What I would like to bring up is that computer system memory has to be purchased in case your computer cannot cope with anything you do by using it. One can mount two RAM memory boards having 1GB each, as an example, but not one of 1GB and one of 2GB. One should check the company’s documentation for own PC to make sure what type of memory is required.

  96. Thanks a bunch for sharing this with all of us you really know what you are talking about! Bookmarked. Kindly also visit my website =). We could have a link exchange agreement between us!

  98. Thanks for expressing your ideas. The one thing is that learners have an option between national student loan and also a private student loan where it truly is easier to opt for student loan debt consolidation loan than with the federal student loan.

  99. Thanks for helping me to achieve new tips about computer systems. I also hold the belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your mobile computer in leading condition is by using a hard plastic-type case, or even shell, which fits over the top of one’s computer. Most of these protective gear tend to be model distinct since they are manufactured to fit perfectly above the natural outer shell. You can buy all of them directly from owner, or via third party sources if they are for your laptop, however not every laptop can have a covering on the market. Again, thanks for your guidelines.

  100. I don抰 even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

  101. Thanks for your article. I would also love to say that a health insurance agent also works best for the benefit of the particular coordinators of a group insurance cover. The health insurance broker is given a directory of benefits needed by a person or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker really does is search for individuals or even coordinators that best complement those needs. Then he presents his advice and if both sides agree, this broker formulates a contract between the 2 parties.

  102. Magnificent web site. Plenty of useful information here. I am sending it to a few friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And naturally, thanks to your effort!

He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.

    The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood.

    For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.

    This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all perish to hell forever. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.

    So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death–now being conformed into the image of the heavenly man in a new nature, and no longer in the image of the fallen man Adam.

    Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins, and to receive His Holy Spirit that we may be born again (for Jesus says we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God–John chapter 3). This is not just head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him in obedience to His Word by reading the Bible.

    Our works cannot save us, but they can condemn us; it is not that we earn our way into everlasting life, but that we obey our Lord Jesus Christ:

    “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)

    “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’

    Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’

    And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8).

One other thing is the fact that individual states in the United states of america have their very own laws in which affect house owners, which makes it very, very hard for the our lawmakers to come up with a brand new set of recommendations concerning foreclosed on house owners. The problem is that every state provides own legal guidelines which may work in a damaging manner with regards to foreclosure insurance plans.

  127. I have noticed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate financial transaction, a payment is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers really don’t “save” the commission. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by means of doing a strong agent’s work. In completing this task, they expend their money plus time to perform, as best they might, the obligations of an representative. Those duties include displaying the home through marketing, introducing the home to all buyers, constructing a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, organizing home inspections, handling qualification assessments with the loan company, supervising maintenance tasks, and aiding the closing.

  128. Thanks for any other magnificent article. The place else may anyone get that kind of info in such an ideal approach of writing? I have a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the look for such information.

  130. Great post here. One thing I would really like to say is the fact that most professional career fields consider the Bachelor Degree as the entry level requirement for an online course. While Associate College diplomas are a great way to start, completing your Bachelors opens many opportunities to various occupations, there are numerous online Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online types of their qualifications but often for a considerably higher payment than the organizations that specialize in online college degree plans.
