Have you all heard about the Reissued App yet? I found out about it last month and I've been hooked on it ever since. In case you have no clue what I'm talking about, keep reading to find out what it's all about!
Reissued is basically a curated social marketplace app that allows users to buy and sell vintage, handmade, and hard-to-find items! I like to think of it as a shopable Instagram because it's basically photos that you can click, and then purchase what you see. If you're a vintage lover like me, this app is going to be a dream come true for you! You can find amazing furniture here as well as clothes, antiques, pieces of art, literally anything.
They handpick their sellers so not just anybody is on here. This is to try and ensure that the selected retailers are the best of the best and that they have really unique products for you to browse and buy. So often I see people with the coolest vintage finds and I want to know where they've gotten them. Now I know the answer: probably from this app!
All you have to do to start using Reissued is head to the app store on your phone and download the FREE Reissued App. Once it's downloaded on your phone you just need to make an account. Making an account takes less than 5 minutes, and as soon as you've got an account set up, you can start browsing! Oh, how I love to browse these items. If you see something you like you can click the item to find out the exact details and price. You can also start following sellers if you want to keep up-to-date with everything they list.
The set up is easy to use: you can "heart" items and leave comments on products, you can search for certain sellers, or if you're looking for something specific, simply type in what you're searching for or hashtags. You can scroll while you're on your break from work or while you're on the go.
Say goodbye to sweating it out in vintage stores, and hello to shopping in the comfort of your own home with your pjs on!
Have you heard of the Reissued App? Do you use it? Leave us a comment and let us know!

3 Tips to Be Brave
Career Girls are bombarded with "let's be woman, hear me roar" slogans yet get confusing messages that are part of a meta-narrative that yes, women should seem independent and fierce – because that will help attract a modern partner with traditional sensibilities (look to a modern day monarchy…). In the office, gender politics are still at play. Be independent, smart, bright – but don't rock the boat too much.
Rather than showing "independence" to capture a prince(cess)'s heart or a boss's approval, be brave. Be the boss – be yourself – just be.
1. Be irreverent
We can't simply break every rule just to break them. Even Merida, who wasn't shy about breaking the rules, came to terms with how to adhere to societal parameters while not following victim to being a cog in the wheel. Bend the rules every now and then. Question them, challenge them. Don't just accept what you're told to do.
2. Speak Up
Sara Bareillis' song, Brave, says "…your history of silence won't do you any good…let your words be anything but empty. Why don't you tell them the truth?" Brilliantly said, there is no place to hold your tongue just to get someone's approval. Speaking up is not a permission slip to let loose and be rude or disrepectful. It is about being mindful of the power of words and not hold yourself back. No one else will speak for you, so you have to.
3. Find a Greater Purpose
Recognizing a larger, more meaningful purpose that just yourself helps to put everything into perspective. Is your work really about you, your advancement, or your paycheck? Of course that is part of it. But what's behind that? Why are you doing what you're doing? Is there a purpose or a set of values that go beyond the task at hand? Acknowledging this can help to be more fearless in addressing what needs to be addressed, trying new things , and failing – knowing that you'll bounce back.

New Medicaid enrollments coming faster than expected
By Jamey Dunn
Illinoisans have signed up for Obamacare more quickly than the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services expected, Director Julie Hamos says.
Hamos told a House budgeting committee today that her agency had predicted about 509,000 people would enroll in Medicaid under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. She said today that about 430,000 of them could be enrolled by the end of the calendar year. "We are actually seeing stronger numbers, larger numbers, earlier than we ever really expected." Based on the applications that the department has on hand, Hamos said an estimated 315,000 Illinoisans who are newly eligible for Medicaid have applied so far. "We thought that we were going to be at 200,000 this year."
Under Obamacare, the federal government will pay for 100 percent of the cost of patients who are eligible under the expansion of the law for the first three years. But HFS has predicted that some residents who are already eligible for Medicaid but have not applied will apply now because of the outreach efforts associated with the launch of the Affordable Care Act. The state would only get the standard 50-50 federal match for those enrollees. Illinois has received 82,000 applications from the federal online insurance marketplace and is sifting through them. Hamos said that until that job is done, there is no way to know how many of the applicants would fall under the lower funding match level.
Hamos also told the committee that the savings targets established under the 2012 Medicaid reforms (also known as the SMART Act) will not be reached. The original savings estimate was $1.6 billion, but Hamos said today it has been revised to $1.1 billion, which she called "still very significant for a program like this." Hamos said several factors led to the savings being less than expected, including procurement timelines, pending litigation and delays in federal approval of same changes. The federal government also denied some of the proposals in the law. Hamos said the savings estimates tied to the state's efforts to purge Medicaid of the ineligible enrollees was too high.
While Republicans have accused Gov. Pat Quinn's administration of not being aggressive enough in implementing the Medicaid changes geared toward cutting costs, some said today they were glad to hear that the savings are still significant. "To be able to look at the savings from the SMART Act, [it] shows us that we did do something in government," said Hinsdale Republican Rep. Patricia Bellock.

you keep saying
but I know
there's no way
you'll ever
confess your heart
you'd rather
stay apart
than admit this truth
between me and you
Here's a truth: I am way into Sam Hunt. I know, it's probably been quite obvious. But it is so declared so that when my next Listworthy post goes up, you all aren't surprised. I'm letting it stew mostly because I need to prowl the internet for some suitable pictures to accompany the post. Love that part of it… I must say, mentioning/tagging Sam Hunt has turned me on to other new, up and coming country music artists. I like that! There are two I've followed so far that have caught my ear. And oddly enough, they're two who've only either favorite my tweets or liked my instagram photos but do not follow me back. FOLLOW ME BACK! LOL
Sully is still my number one fella. It'll take A LOT to push him from that spot. But the other fellas are most welcome to try.
Spring Break is over. School resumes on Monday BUT it's a short week because of Easter. Or as we call it, "Spring Recess." Off Good Friday and the day after Easter. Gotta love it and I do indeed. I just can't believe how fast this school year has gone. Time flies the older you get! Take note, kids.
And I want to reply "That's what she said…" But I won't…
It's weird writing two stories at the same time. I can't seem to just focus on one. I'm so close to finishing one of them but I linger. Why do I linger? I have no idea except I know with the one near its end I will need to go back and flesh out some things because I still don't know basics like what my main female character does for a living. Maddening. And with the other story, I'm just wondering when I'm going to introduce more conflict. Need more conflict!
My first (and hopefully ONLY) snapback cap arrived this week! It's my second piece of All Blacks gear, something I can wear no matter the weather. But ye gods, why did it have to be a snapback? I'm a bend the bill kind of cap wearing gal! Oh well. Must show my love for my rugby team.

Beautyberry, Callicarpa americana, proven insect repellant!
Barbara Pleasant wrote for Mother Earth News April/May 2009, Beautyberry Banishes Bad Biting Bugs: Researches are finding evidence that beautyberry, long used as a folk remedy, really does deter bugs such as ants, ticks and others.
In 2006, researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Products Utilization Research Unit in Oxford, Miss., found that extracts from beautyberry leaves could match DEET for repelling mosquitoes. The next year, experiments showed that the active ingredients from the leaves (callicarpenal and intermedeol) provided 100-percent repellency of black-legged ticks for three hours. In 2008, the four-person research team, headed by chemist Charles Cantrell in Mississippi and entomologist Jerome Klun in Maryland, published research that added fire ants to the list of pests repelled by essential oil distilled from beautyberry leaves….
Fresh green leaves, crushed and rubbed on people or pets, often repel insects for a couple of hours.
Looks like Charles L. Cantrell of U. Miss. has published several papers about this:Continue reading

Further, William Bartram did mention it in his Travels of 1791, as French mulberry. Curiously, even though Google books does have Bartram's book, ngrams doesn't seem to show French mulberry for that date, but does show American mulberry. Even more curious, William Bartram's father, John Bartram, corresponded with Linnaeus, the founder of modern botanical terminology.
The currently most popular name is beautyberry, which turns out to be related to the scientific genus name, Callicarpa: Greek kalli means beautiful, and Karpos means fruit.
The plant has all sorts of uses: Continue reading
Anyway, comparing the common name beautyberry to the scientific name Callicarpa americana, it seems that the "common" name is much newer, at least in books.
Beautyberry is a piney woods bush that fruits as small violet berries that make tasty jars of jelly:
So first you pick and cook the beautyberries, then you strain them and cook them again, and finally, you can them in jars, as you can see Gretchen doing in the video linked through the little picture to the right.

Dingly Dangly Things
A bunch of singly dangly toys hang humiliatingly exposed to the whim of anyone with a camera, and they don't all look happy about it do they?
I kept this shot because of the weird lighting, dark brick paving over-exposed to the extent that it would pop the eyes of a hippopotamus.

Are you tired of seeing landscapes from this planet? If you are, we have a treat for you. Thanks to NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) which has been orbiting Mars since 2006, currently circling approximately 300 km (187 mi) above the Martian surface. On board the MRO the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera has been photographing the planet for several years now at resolutions as fine as mere inches per pixel.
Collected here is a group of images from HiRISE over the past few years, in either false color or grayscale, showing intricate details of landscapes both familiar and alien, from the surface of our neighboring planet, Mars. Take your time looking through these images, imagining the environment – very cold, dry and distant, yet real. All of that just waiting for the first human being to set foot to.

Global Campus spokesman backs up Mayor Butts comments;
From the East Bay Times;
"Ruben Lizardo, a spokesman for the Berkeley Global Campus, said he understood concerns about fair pay and using union labor but said the University of California already had many similar provisions in place, including a plan to pay even the lowest-skilled workers $15 an hour and use local workers. And he agreed with the mayor that negative comments about the project, including fears that it would hasten gentrification, had made it more difficult for the university to pursue this project.
"When you have a lot of negative press about folks who are saying the project will have a negative impact, it sends a mixed message to potential investors and gives pause to any university interested in partnering with us," Lizardo said."
Veronica Keeton commented 2016-08-28 21:32:28 -0700Lack of funds due to RPA and affiliates continued interference, bad press and incompetence. No investor wants to deal with an incompetent hostile leadership in any city. Therefore this city has been eliminated from further discussions until these folks are gone, for those that don't get it.. The message was clear. With no investors or developers wanting to get involved (especially now after the state (UC) and federal (LBNL) government agencies have kicked you the curve), bankruptcy is certainly on the horizon with all the money problems the city currently has. Great job RPA!!!! You have screwed the city and the residents once again.

Apple's Spotlight offers a quick way to find user files and resources like applications or system preferences. However, it does not locate items in the system folder or in hidden folders, though at times you might need to access them. This limitation may be especially cumbersome to deal with if you are troubleshooting a problem in OS X or helping someone do so, meaning you may need to ask them to locate a specific hidden file and remove it or modify its contents.
For some system resources you can simply navigate through the Finder; however, in its default view the Finder does not show a number of hidden files and folders such as the user library. So, for example, if you tell someone to access his or her user library to locate the Fonts folder, since the user library is hidden he or she might instead erroneously access the global library at the root of the hard drive.
Even if you are familiar with standard Unix file path notation and direct someone to open the ~/Library folder, if that person doesn't know what the tilde character means then he or she might go to the wrong directory in the Finder.
To get around these potential areas of confusion both for yourself and when instructing others, you can make use of some services and features in OS X that make possible quick access to any file or folder based on a typed path you provide, which can help avoid confusion and make it straightforward for anyone to open a specified Unix-compliant path.
The first option is to use the system's contextual services: if you have a full Unix-compliant path typed out, then you can simply highlight it, right-click the selected text, and then choose either Open or Reveal from the Services contextual menu, and the system will then display the item in the Finder or try to open it with its default handling application.
For example, you can triple-click the following folder path examples or otherwise select each in its entirety, and try opening the items in the Finder (note that if you use the Open service the system may ask for confirmation before opening the path):
If you come across a file path as part of an instruction for tweaking your system or troubleshooting it, you can use these services to access it by selecting the file path and right-clicking in this way. Additionally, if you are attempting to help others access parts of their systems and you know the exact file or folder path they should use, then you can likewise send it to them and have them perform this procedure to quickly open it.
These contextual services are built into OS X and should be enabled by default, but if they aren't then they can be enabled in the Services section of the Keyboard system preferences, under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
While useful for opening a full file path from a text document or Web page, these options are also convenient in other areas. If you are a power user and access the Terminal regularly, then you probably have a number of file paths listed in your command history that you previously acted upon. If you need to open one of these paths in the Finder, you can use these services to quickly select and open it.
A last and related way to navigate through a full file path is to use the OS X Go to Folder feature that is available in the Finder's Go menu (and can also be invoked by pressing Shift-Command-G). With this option, you can copy a full file path or even a partial one with respect to the directory of the current Finder window, and then paste it in the Go to Folder field instead of using the Open or Reveal services, which should open it for you in the Finder. For example, select and copy any of the file paths listed above, and then paste it in the Go to Folder field to have the system open it in the Finder.

Danbury man allegedly punches motorist, takes off with $40
DANBURY -- A city man who allegedly offered to help a couple get their keys out of their locked car -- for a $40 fee -- was arrested on assault and drug charges Friday after punching the motorist in the face and taking off with the money, police said.
Police said Hubert Nash, 42, of Spring Lane, took the money from the local couple near the intersection of West and Beaver streets, punched the man in the face and fled into a wooded area behind the Elks Lodge around 1:30 a.m.
Capt. Thomas Wendel, a spokesman for the police department, said the couple flagged down a police officer who subsequently saw Nash hunkered down in the woods.
Wendel said the officer ran into the woods after Nash and found him in possession of a small amount of crack cocaine.
Nash was charged with third-degree assault, sixth-degree larceny, second-degree breach of peace, possession of cocaine and possession of cocaine within 1,500 feet of a school, according to police.
He was held on a $75,000 bond after his arrest.

Children will typically not say math is their favourite thing to do. But what if you could make learning math more fun for both you and your children, and also include some of their favourite activities (such as playing games, going to the park or playground, or story time)? Well, actually you can! You are possibly already doing this without realizing it and the benefits.
Are you familiar with the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? This story is packed full of math or numeracy concepts, even though the only number mentioned in the story is the number three.
Numeracy includes using words to describe size, shape, textures, and amounts. When we put things in order, sequence, match, or find and make patterns, we are building and developing numeracy skills. I bet you can find the numeracy in the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story now!
Following are some activities to make a story more engaging and fun. You can add story extenders, or props, to make a story come alive. Using the Goldilocks… story as our example, you can try some of these ideas:
- Talk about what Goldilocks did first, second, third, etc. See if your children can remember the order of events.
Sequencing, Imagination, and Creative Play:
- Have your children hold toy bears, dolls, or furniture while listening to the story. Encourage them to retell the story later in their own way, using words like "before," "next," etc.
- Make pictures of bears, chairs, bowls, and beds, etc. like in the story, and have your children match them to the proper bear owners.
- Visit a park or zoo, and sing some songs that involve bears.
- While on a walk or at an appointment, ask your children to find sets of 3. For example, 3 trees, 3 cats, 3 chairs, etc.
- Talk about who is biggest and smallest, what is hardest and softest, etc. To describe things in the book and around you, try to use different words than the book uses.
- Use these kinds of words when talking about the sets of 3, making comparisons and talking about opposites.
These are just a few simple and quick ways to have fun with numeracy (math) by using what your children love to do, which will unconsciously make learning fun and easy for both you and your children.
We share many more of these ideas and concepts at the free 3,2,1, FUN! program for parents and your 3-5 year old children.
If you would like more information about this drop-in program, visit the Centre for Family Literacy website. I can guarantee you will have fun with your children exploring numeracy together.
"Positive early experiences in mathematics are as critical to child development as are early literacy experiences" (Alberta education, 2007).

We Judge Without Knowing
We, humans, have a tendency to judge sometimes without even noticing it. Why do I say we? Because I have done it too. I don't like judging people and never do intentionally. Let me explain myself.
Birthday Party Celebration
A week ago I was at a birthday party for a 16-year-old which I'll call Ann. Among the visitors was Ann's 6-year-old cousin, which I'll call Becky. Becky is autistic. I don't know what type of Autism she has. She does speak and is quite hyper. Her mom, which I'll call Catherine, kept an eye on her daughter at all times. Believe me, she did not sit down to chit-chat with anyone.
Party Gone Wrong
Catherine was ready to leave so she gathered Ann's belongings and said her good-byes, as well as Ann. Someone opened the door and Ann sprung out with her Catherine right behind her. As Catherine was approaching her opened vehicle she sees that Ann was not in the vehicle.
The Search Begins
Catherine looked around and didn't see Ann. She shouted Ann's name but there was no answer. Catherine returned to the house and asked if Ann had come back inside by any chance. We didn't see her come back inside but searched the house. Where is Ann? All visitors still hanging out at the party sprang into action searching for Ann. Most walked a few gathered their vehicles and circled the neighborhood. The neighbors began looking once they knew that a 6-year-old autistic child was missing.
She Outran Everyone
Some people did spot her and Ann outran anybody that tried to catch her. She would not stop. A woman told us that at one point she blocked Ann's path with her car. The woman placed her car in park and got out. Ann ran between two houses and evaded the woman. She could see Ann eyeing alternative routes. The police were on their way and they immediately released their K-9 dog to trace her down. They received calls of a little girl with Ann's description running past by the Dollar Tree. Ann had run out of the subdivision and was quick to evade all those looking for her. There was even a drone searching the area which police had released.
The Search Is Over
Catherine managed to stay calm and answer the deputy's questions. The deputy at the house with us received a call. The deputies found Ann. She was 2.3 miles away at a vacant lot where a new subdivision was being built. There were 8 deputies surrounding her who tried to coerce her to come to them with her favorite toy. She paced from side to side, like if getting ready to run at any given moment. Ann kept them on edge while they desperately tried to close in on her. Catherine's presence was needed because they knew Ann would not allow them to get any closer.
The Mother-Daughter Reunion
Catherine was taken to Ann on a patrol car running through lights and intersections. Catherine was in shock and doubted that the child was indeed her Ann. She thought Ann could not possibly have run that far. When they finally arrived, Catherine was overwhelmed with joy when she saw her beautiful child. Catherine collapsed to the ground and called out to Ann. Ann ran to her mother and they embraced in a hug and had a little mother-daughter moment.
How Did Ann Do It?
It was such a relief to see Catherine walk in with Ann. How did this little girl appear 2.3 miles away from the house? We don't know. Thank God she is safe. Yes, Ann is an autistic child and a very smart one too. The way she outran the woman who blocked her path and reroutes her way through; the way she manages to cross two busy streets and end up at a vacant lot where there was a new subdivision going up; and to keep 8 officers on edge trying to figure out where to cut through, takes a lot of analyzing from a 6-year-old.
What Does This Story Have to do With Judging?
Well, I've read about similar cases or heard them on the news and the first words out of our mouths are, "Where were the parents?" That's the problem! We immediately judged the parents without knowing. In Ann's case, I know for a fact that Catherine was there with her daughter. She walked out right behind her daughter. In a blink of an eye, Ann had dashed away from her mother's sight and disappeared.
Moral of the story
Let's agree to never judge anyone for any reason. We just don't know what's going on in their life.

APNewsBreak: Dallas-Fort Worth emerge from drought
For millions of Dallas-area residents, one of the most severe droughts in Texas history is no longer a concern - for now.
The U.S. Drought Monitor, in its weekly map posted online Thursday, classified the Dallas-Fort Worth area as officially out of drought for the first time since July, likely heralding the lifting of water restrictions on the more than 6 million people in the nation's fourth-most populous metro area, and the region north and northeast to the Oklahoma and Arkansas borders.
But meteorologists and climatologists warn the situation remains precarious. Texas is experiencing the most severe single year of drought in its history, and nearly 60 percent of the state remains in severe or exceptional stages of drought. Another dry spring or blistering hot summer could quickly reverse any gains.
"It's still a very tenuous situation," said National Weather Service meteorologist Victor Murphy. "Water concerns are a high priority. If we have a dry spring and a hot summer it will be very perilous situation."
The Drought Monitor is a map that is compiled by the University of Nebraska's National Drought Mitigation Center in cooperation with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and several other agencies. Meteorologists and climate experts look at everything from rainfall to soil saturation to create the map, and sometimes look at trends dating back months and years, said Brian Fuchs, a climatologist with the center who helps author the Drought Monitor.
The current trend is encouraging, he said, but still not ideal.
"Does it help? Yes, it does. But does it mean conditions are where they were pre drought? No," Fuchs said.
Drought descended on Texas, parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico and Louisiana about a year ago. Since then, the region has seen rainfall decline in some places to half the norm, or even less.
For Texas, the situation has been especially dire because of its size. The state makes up nearly 7 percent of the continental United States and the severity of the drought has an effect on the entire country, affecting everything from cattle numbers to bird migration and the health of the Gulf of Mexico.
Texas ranchers have culled their herds, causing a significant drop in the nation's cattle population that will likely cause beef prices to rise in the coming years. Meanwhile, hay prices have spiked because it is nearly nonexistent in the south and farmers and ranchers in these regions are willing to pay a high price to bring it in from elsewhere.

CLARE, N.S. - The sounds of cowbells clanking, crowds clapping, and pots and pans banging could be heard throughout the Municipality of Clare as visitors from near and far lined the streets to cheer on the nearly 1000 cyclists as they rolled through the Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie course.
The fourth annual event and Atlantic Canada's largest Gran Fondo took place on Sept. 23. Cyclists had a choice of cycling 161 km, 120 km, 67 km or a 35km course.
Over 1,000 cyclists were registered for the event but Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie posted on their Facebook page that they would like to thank the 970 cyclists who participated, along with the 200 volunteers and many sponsors who made the event happen.
Most of the cyclists were from Nova Scotia, but more than 200 came from other provinces in Canada, 35 cyclists from the United States and a couple riders from countries including Australia, Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom.
This participation rate this year is an increase from the 2017 event which hosted 917 cyclists.
Veronique Gelinas, Stephanie Blais and Helene Couture travelled from Trois Rivieres, Quebec for the event.
"Clare is a beautiful place and we feel like home here," said Gelinas.
The trio took part in the 120km ride, it was there first time cycling in Nova Scotia.
"It's a perfect day for a bike ride. If all goes well, hopefully we'll be back again next year," Gelinas said before the trio headed for the starting line.
Cyclists got to ride past many of Clare's key landmarks, including Universite Sainte-Anne, the only French university in Nova Scotia. Eglise Sainte-Marie Church, the largest wooden church in North America. Belliveau Cove Park, Eglise Saint-Bernard Church, Bangor Sawmill, Mavillette Beach, Elise Sainte-Alphonse Church, Smugglers Cove Provincial Park and Eglise Sacre-Coeur Church
Greg Danchuk made the trip to Clare from Banff, Alberta.
"I think this is a great event, you can tell the whole community is involved with it," he says. "Everyone is outside, standing in front of their houses, cheering you on. They're just waiting for you to cycle by. You don't see this at most other races."
Danchuk often trains by cycling in the mountains in Alberta.
"I think that gives me a bit of an advantage to the local riders because of the sea-level roads here."
Paula Burns from Lethbridge, Alberta met Danchuk at the event. The pair became friends and decided to ride together.
Burns is originally from Digby but has lived in Alberta for a number of years. She heard about the Gran Fondo and knew she had to make a trip back to her hometown to take part.
"I wanted to do this for a while, but this year I finally just decided to go for it," she said.
William Lucas from Tiverton participated in the 35km ride. To prepare for the ride he usually bikes 30km, three or four times a week.
He did the 67km ride last year but found it too long.
"With the shorter ride I can keep a better pace."
Tom and Darcy Wefers from Toronto, heard about the Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie at the Toronto International Bike Show last year.
"We often said we'd love to bike next to the ocean," says Darcy. "Then we saw a brochure in Toronto, there was a picture of the ocean and I think on the other side was a picture of a lobster and we were sold instantly."
The couple took part in the 161km ride but have competed in several longer rides in Ontario.
"This is just a practice ride for us, we're not here to race. We're here for the view," he adds.
The Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie planned a children's ride on Sept. 22. This was the first year for the new event and 95 kids aged 5-12 entered.
Organizers also had a fiddler, Leon Stuart, playing classic Acadian songs near the Bangor Sawmill to entertain cyclists as they rode by.

The epidemiological transition
The post-war period saw varying challenges for public health with the rise of chronic disease. In this Step Peder Clark looks at the 'epidemiological transition'. We learn what it was, when it occurred and why it was significant.
What is the 'epidemiological transition'?
The term 'epidemiologic transition' was coined by epidemiologist Abdel Omran in an influential 1971 paper that described how "degenerative and man-made diseases displace pandemics of infection as the primary causes of morbidity and mortality" in many high-income countries. Omran's theory focussed on the "complex change in patterns of health and disease and on the interactions between these patterns and their demographic, economic and sociologic determinants and consequences", and described three stages of the transition. 1
What are the stages of the epidemiological transition?
The first, The Age of Pestilence and Famine, described a stage when mortality was high and life expectancy was low; this was followed by The Age of Receding Pandemics when mortality declined progressively, but infectious diseases were still responsible for the majority of deaths. Finally, The Age of Degenerative and Man-Made Diseases described a point at which "mortality continues to decline and eventually approaches stability at a relatively low level", and chronic, non-communicable disease has outstripped infectious diseases as the primary cause of death.
Omran used demographic data from England and Wales, Japan, Chile and Ceylon (contemporary Sri Lanka) to illustrate his theory (see Figure 1). In Britain, Omran argued, the epidemiologic transition had occurred as a result of the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, he noted that
the gradual shift in disease patterns characteristic of the classical transition can be seen in the steady decline of infectious diseases (including tuberculosis and diarrhea) and the moderate increase in cancer and cardiovascular diseases in England and Wales up to 1920.1
Following the First World War, he argued that this pattern became "more distinct", and that "since 1945 the increase in cardiovascular deaths is particularly striking."1
Figure 1: Adapated from Omran's demographic data table.
Why was it significant?
The epidemiological transition was significant because it provided an explanatory model for the emergence of modern epidemics of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and stroke in many Western industrialised nations in the immediate post-war period. In a British context, it complemented the theories advanced by the public health doctor and demographer Thomas McKeown in his controversial book The Role of Medicine.
This argued that the population growth, the reduction of infectious diseases and improvements in life expectancy seen since the seventeenth century had had less to do with advances in medicine and public health, and much more to do with the economic forces that had shaped social conditions. 2
Both Omran and McKeown's work have been subject to challenges in the past few decades. The former's theory has been expanded with an extra stage appended, The Age of Delayed Degenerative Disease. 3 McKeown's thesis meanwhile has been attacked on empirical grounds, and also for its conceptual assumptions, most powerfully by historian Simon Szreter. He argued that there is little evidence of a direct link between growing wealth and improvements in health. 4 Nonetheless, both the epidemiologic and demographic transitions remain important concepts for understanding patterns of disease in post-war Britain, and the reasons behind them.
All over the world countries are now experiencing a shift in disease burden, from infectious diseases to chronic disease. How do you think this epidemiological transition will challenge public health in the future? How, for instance, can continuity in care for chronic conditions be provided? Is public health prepared to meet the challenges of an ageing population? Or the impact of climate change?

I had a wonderful weekend staying with friends outside of London: there was a big birthday celebration that was fun to participate in, and a chance to reconnect with their extended family and with the Surrey countryside. It was a wonderful day for the ferry back, too: the picture is today's view of the 'White Cliffs of Dover'.
They really went out of their way to help me to feel welcome in their household, something that I've noticed over and over again during European visits to people's homes. I'm not sure how to account for it, but the differences with things back in America are striking.
A typical US household has a guest room where visitors stay. If that is filled, then we are much more likely to recommend a nearby hotel. In Europe, people are far more flexible about moving people around to accommodate guests: it varies from sleeping on inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags in the living room to pitching a tent in the back yard to moving family members among beds to make room.
We generally share expenses during a visit in the US. This may take the form of contributing to groceries, or paying for a dinner out with the hosts. Even when I visit my parents, this tends to be the rule. Here on the Continent, there is much less expectation of direct reciprocity: you become much more integrated in the household, perhaps even given money to go do grocery shopping when you run errands for the whole gang.
Although 'helping out' is appreciated in Europe, it's not as rigid a custom as in the US. I generally try to help with the washing up after meals and try to keep things tidy and out-of-the-way, but there isn't the same pressure to hit the mark and to strike a balance. In part, I think that people here are less concerned with having everything as neat-as-a-pin for the duration of any visit (the cleaning and tidying can get obsessive when relatives, in particular, come to visit in the US).
And I do enjoy debating science and culture 🙂
'Just different ways of being welcoming and enjoying time with guests. This style reminds me much more of 'crashing' in college, when visiting friends for the night was simply 'joining the gang'. I've picked up some of the practices: when friends and relatives visit the Netherlands, I've been more prone to include people in my ordinary activities, shifted rooms as necessary to accommodate couples, and stayed flexible on expenses and relaxed on cleaning. It makes for a more comfortable time and I feel like I've gotten to know people better.

So I am having a Tim Burton themed dress up party for my birthday in a couple of weeks, and I wanna go all out with the decorations, and the food. But I'm having a bit of a mental blank thinking of ideas!
All I can think of is some biscuits and/or cake with icing saying 'Eat Me' and little tags to go around glasses saying 'Drink Me', and I'm going to look at Willy Wonka for ideas for some more sweets.
But I want to try to make food reminiscent of some of his original movies, not just remakes, and I also need some savoury ideas.
So, show me your collective creative food genius! (Pretty please?)

Common Name(s): Nepalese Alder, Utis
Scientific Name: Alnus nepalensis
Distribution: Southeast Asia
Tree Size: 60-100 ft (20-30 m) tall, 2-3 ft (.6-1.0 m) trunk diameter
Average Dried Weight: 25 lbs/ft3 (395 kg/m3)
Specific Gravity (Basic, 12% MC): .32, .40
Janka Hardness: 380 lbf (1,690 N)
Modulus of Rupture: 7,400 lbf/in2 (51.0 MPa)
Elastic Modulus: 1,200,000 lbf/in2 (8.28 GPa)
Crushing Strength: 4,900 lbf/in2 (33.8 MPa)
Shrinkage: Radial: 2.4%, Tangential: 6.0%, Volumetric: 9.3%, T/R Ratio: 2.5
Color/Appearance: Nepalese Alder tends to be a light tan to reddish brown; color darkens and reddens with age. There is no visible distinction between heartwood and sapwood. The overall grain pattern and appearance is similar to Birch (Betula genus)—though redder than Birch—and both genera are derived from the same family, Betulaceae.
Grain/Texture: Nepalese Alder has closed pores, and a fine, even, and straight grain.
Rot Resistance: Nepalese Alder is rated non-durable to perishable regarding decay resistance, and freshly cut logs should be quickly converted into lumber and dried to prevent staining or decay in the wood.
Workability: Nepalese Alder is very easy to work with both hand and machine tools; it sands especially easy. The wood is rather soft, however, and care must be taken to avoid denting it in some applications. Nepalese Alder has excellent gluing, staining, and finishing properties; it also turns well and behaves similar to Black Cherry.
Odor: No characteristic odor.
Allergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Alder in the Alnus genus has been reported to cause eye, skin, and respiratory irritation. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information.
Pricing/Availability: No data available.
Sustainability: This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Common Uses: Interior utility wood, plywood, boxes, crates, and turned items.

You are here
Always keep the end in mind when reaching for the top
Page Personnel's Director Clare Johnson proves that knowing where you want to end up and keeping your eyes open for opportunities, is half the battle to reaching your career goals.
Provide some background to how you've got to your current position
I joined PageGroup in London in 2008 – I had 12 months experience with another global recruitment company after I graduated from university, recruiting Finance and HR. It was a great grounding and I knew I loved recruitment but I was always chasing Michael Pages adverts and leads from candidates who were getting interviews through MP and spoke very highly of the brand. Michael Page HR was a true market leader in London and I wanted the training and development on offer and a career with the best player in the industry, where I could see a progression and a global career. I sent my CV to their PRC coordinator and the rest is history. I recruited Contracting roles in the HR space in London for three years before transferring to Sydney in 2012. I had an opportunity to rebuild HR in Sydney and was later promoted to Manager. In 2016, I was promoted to Associate Director and looked after HR and Legal. In August of this year, I was given the amazing opportunity to take over the leadership of Page Personnel in NSW as Director.
Did you have any reservations about taking on a higher role given your commitments already?
No, I jumped at the opportunity. I am very excited about the future of Page Personnel in terms of growth, our brand within the market and the career paths for those within the business.
Did you start out having a vision of where you wanted to be or has the journey been somewhat fluid for you?
I always wanted to be a Director within PageGroup – I didn't know exactly what that would look like in regards to discipline but I knew I wanted to achieve this eventually and this has been something which over the course of nine years, I have gradually worked towards with each new step and opportunity.
What are your top five tips for maintaining a work/family balance?
I don't have family commitments at this stage in my life but I do recognise the importance of work/life balance. I think it all comes down to managing time well and ensuring you prioritise your general workload as you would your job pipeline. I tend to take an 80/50/20 approach (80% importance, 50% and then 20%) to my time and make sure I give the time needed to the critical elements and write a to-do list at the end of every day, so I come in the next morning and I can crack on with what needs to be done. I ask myself the question: "Is this task going to have a direct impact on my business making money or empowering my team to do so?" – If not, it can probably wait. I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing how much I have completed when you can see what you set out to do that morning. To be successful in recruitment, time management is crucial so I am quite strict with my time and definitely still follow the 'core hours 'mentality [10am-12pm and 2-5pm] that was instilled in me early on. If I do this, I know I am making the best use of the time I am in the office and get everything done. We have so many tools now with technology to be able to make the most of the time in each day even if you aren't at your desk.
What has been the most challenging aspect of your career and why? How have you overcome this?
Recruitment is full of ups and downs and you have to learn early on to be quite resilient and not let it affect you from remaining positive and continuing to move forward. It can be champagne and razor blades and if you are having a tough day, week or month, it will get better with the right attitude!
If you hadn't chosen to go down the recruitment path, what would you have chosen to pursue as a career? Why?
I wanted to be a journalist when I went to university and studied an English Literature degree. I had done work experience on a local newspaper and loved the excitement when they got a lead for a story. I am very inquisitive and love a gritty story!
What do you feel stops some women from managing a successful career and private life? Can this be overcome?
Probably seeing roadblocks that aren't really there and lacking confidence in their ability to do both well. It can definitely be overcome; finding balance but still getting results is key to giving people the confidence that they can do both.
What message of a working woman do you want others coming up the ranks to model?
Let your results speak loudest; it isn't about politics, it is about doing a great job and focussing on running your own race. As Baz Luhrmann once said: "Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long and in the end, it is only with yourself." There is no substitute for hard work!
What's your favourite way to relax and unwind?
I would be lying if I came up with something other than a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc!
What attributes do you feel have allowed you to be successful as a top recruiter?
I pride myself on a strong work ethic and if I say I am going to do something, I make sure I do it. My first Managing Director when I was in London used to say that candidates had better memories than elephants (which apparently are very good)! Every candidate is a client of the future and a stellar candidate service goes miles.
What sets you apart from other recruiters when building key accounts?
We have all the tools provided to us by the business to make a success with key accounts. What really counts is ensuring we deliver and provide the service we promise. You need a proven track record to do this and that comes from doing a great job in the first place.
How do you intend to ensure your voice gets heard at the Director's table?
Hopefully by bringing ideas and working with the team to truly drive initiatives that will help us to achieve our BHAG [Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal], vision and mission.
Where do you intend to go from here? Do you feel this is the furthest you can go along this path?
I would love to be a Regional Director one day – for now, I can't wait to take Page Personnel NSW to the next level.
Do you have a mentor? How has this helped you to achieve your goals? Are you a mentor to others? Is this something you see yourself doing?
Yes! I believe it gives you an opportunity to step away and look at what is going to help you reach your goals and sense check things if you aren't sure about something outside of your Manager. I also have a couple of mentees and hope I add value!

After all of the optimism surrounding the past two days of NBA lockout negotiations, Friday's talks in New York ended--somewhat briefly, compared to Wednesday's marathon session--with a much less positive outlook. League commissioner David Stern subsequently announced that league would cancel an additional two weeks of regular-season games, wiping the November schedule clean, an anticipated measure.
"Our games are cancelled through," said a grim-looking Stern, in contrast to his jovial demeanor after Wednesday's session. "The end of the month of November."
"It's not practical, possible or prudent," he continued. "There will not be a full NBA season."
No further bargaining sessions are scheduled for this weekend--Lakers guard Derek Fisher, the players' association president, told NBA.com he was flying back to Los Angeles--or otherwise. Friday's breakdown occurred because of the continued impasse over the division of basketball-related income--and the animus between the two sides apparently returned.
Union executive director Billy Hunter claimed Stern was "snookering" the media when the commissioner confirmed he was prepared to make a major economic move Friday.
"What he was trying to do was position himself on those other system issues (such as the luxury tax and mid-level exception) so he could get his number on BRI," said Hunter. "It appears that more we give on the system, we may be painting ourselves into a corner."
"They got to the place again where it was, '50-50, take it or leave it,'" he continued. "Today, we're leaving it, like we left it last week.
"Derek and I may it clear that we could not sell a 50-50 deal to our membership, not with the system."
Added Fisher: "We've dropped our BRI percentage from 57 percent to 52.5.
"Right now, it's still not enough for them to feel that this deal should be closed," continued the veteran guard, who cited "artificial pressure" as a reason to not rush through a deal that would last his constituents 10 more years. "We're still not sure if they're at 50 or they're at 47.
"Today just wasn't the day."
Stern confirmed that no further bargaining sessions are scheduled.
"I'm not going to project future negotiations," he said. "We've had, until this afternoon, several good days of give-and-take."
"We've made some major progress on length of contract," the commissioner continued. "We spent a fair amount of time talking about revenue sharing today.
"We made a fair number of concessions."
The commissioner revealed his take on how the negotiations ended for the day.
"Billy Hunter said he wasn't willing to go a penny below 52 percent," he said. "He closed up his books and walked out of the room."
"We were at 47," Stern added. "Today, our offer was 50."
Predictably, Hunter's view on the situation was very different.
"We did what it was the league said they needed," he said. "Their eyes got bigger and they wanted more and more and more, so finally, we had to shut it down and say, 'it can't be.'"
"Our number was our number," Hunter continued. "We just couldn't bridge the gap."
"I know that we have gotten a deal by this weekend, it was very likely, highly probable that we could have gotten a full season."
Ominously, Stern indicated the league's next offer--when the two sides meet again--will be less favorable.
"We're going to have to recalculate," said Stern.
"We've lost approaching 200 million," he continued. "We'll lose several hundred million dollars more."
"You can assume that our offer will change to reflect the changed economic circumstances."
So, despite progress on significant system issues, such as the mid-level exception and even some movement on the luxury-tax policy, it appears that if not back to square one, the two parties are again at odds, with conflicting opinions on their respective stances. One thing, however, is for certain, as Stern glumly summarized.
"The amount of dollars lost to the owners is extraordinary and the amount of dollars lost to the players is also extraordinary," said the commissioner. "In the short run, the owners will not be able to make it back and I know for a fact, in the short run, the players will not be able to make it back, and probably will never be able to make it back."
Neither will the dozens, even hundreds of people employed by the league and its teams or the people making their livelihoods based on games being played, not to mention the fans currently being deprived of NBA basketball.

Consolidating Debts Through Unsecured Personal Lending Options In Carrollton, Alabama
For some, the answer to consolidating debts is to seek an unsecured personal loan in Carrollton, Alabama. You do not need assets for an unsecured personal loan. Unlike secured lending options, there is nothing for the loan company to take away from you if you go delinquent (like a car or house).

Unsecured personal loan consolidation methods of credit debt in Carrollton, Alabama
It's possible to get very low rates on unsecured loans to settle your personal credit card debt, if you have got an excellent history of credit. You should be able to qualify for an interest rate as little as 5 to 6% with great credit. However, poor credit can mean that you won't be approved for the loan. If you do qualify with less than perfect credit history, your interest rates might be as much as 20%.Read More
Alternatives for those with really bad credit scores include financing with home equity or offering collateral. Even so, the interest rates could be excessive, if you can even get approval. In such cases, you might want to identify other avenues to resolve your personal debt challenges.
Unsecured personal loans with a bad credit score
Unsecured personal lending options are typically not an option for people who have bad credit. Folks who do manage to get approval, will get quite high, unmanageable rates. In reality, you might end up having an outrageous interest rate with a loan shark. It is because poor credit suggests that you've generally not settled your bills on time. Maxing out your lines of credit is also associated with a low credit score.
When a financial institution studies your credit report and rating, they may not want to accept your high risk history. If for some reason they choose to loan you funds, they'll probably charge significant fees and high rates of interest. Loaning to you is seen as a hazard, and the loan provider wants to be paid for that potential risk.
The excessive service fees and interest rates associated with bad credit and unsecured personal loans may cause it to be very unlikely for you to reach your objectives. You may find a rate of interest of 19% to 29%. With an interest rate of 29%, you're coughing up $29 for each $100 on the loan. It may be more advisable to find alternative means of debt relief.
Borrowing Without a Credit Check Required
The necessity of a credit check while looking for a lending product isn't to be taken lightly. You'll find very few lenders who can let people take a loan without a credit check. Credit ranking is very revealing of how you have settled your bills over time. And it provides a very good sign of how you'll function with new credit .
If you get offered a large lending option with no credit check needed, there is a good chance that the lender isn't reputable. The very best case scenario would be that the lending option is legit, but you have to pay a ridiculous amount of service fees and interest. Ultimately, you might be trying to repay 2 to 3 times the value of the actual lending option. Whenever we put it like that, it does not seem like a very good deal. If you need a sensible lending option , you should let them check your credit score.
In most cases, when you have bad credit, you should think about seeking to strengthen it before trying to get a loan. Any kind of reputable lender is going to look for credit lines that you've paid satisfactorily. Also having zero credit will prevent you from obtaining a fair lending option. The most effective thing you're able to do, with less-than-perfect credit or no credit, is to improve that before trying to get financing.
Unsecured Personal Loans and Guaranteed Approval
"Guaranteed Approval" for a borrowing arrangement may seem amazing. It appears as though all you need to do is apply and you're approved for that loan. It appears like a great option. Yet, this phrase is often deceiving.
What kinds of lenders offer loans with approval guaranteed? I don't know of many loan companies who are going to promise to agree to a loan request without seeking income verification or credit history. Imagine a person without any income source at all? Should a reputable lender assure their approval for a borrowing arrangement? Ensuring acceptance of a lending option without knowing anything at all about yourself, your credit history, or your financial circumstances would certainly make far too much risk for the financial institution.
A good loan provider is not going to provide guaranteed acceptance. Your financial circumstances, which includes earnings and existing debts, will all be taken into consideration. Your debt and income will be calculated to decide whether you're a viable option for the lending option. They'll be trying to find proof that you can manage your financial situation, financial debt, and also a new lending option.
A lot of financial institutions will offer you a pre-qualified standing so you can observe just how likely you will get approved before doing a serious investigation on your credit rating. This can be done using a light pull on your consumer credit without affecting your score. That isas close as you will get to a guaranteed approval for personal loans.
What amount am I allowed to receive with an unsecured loan?
Something you must consider when you're looking for an unsecured loan is exactly how much you want to receive. Some lenders have loans for as low as $1K and some have the minimum loan of $5,000. The maximum loan amount differs by loan provider, also.
The highest possible amount could be anywhere from $35K to $40K, depending on the financial institution. Plus, they will give you more time to pay off these bigger lending options giving you a cheaper monthly installment but possibly a larger interest fee.
A greater monthly installment will help you to repay your debt quicker at much less cost to you. You have to compare the different payment amounts compared to the length of the loan to find out what option best suits your capacity to pay. Some are inclined to borrow more than will be essential for their needs. However, paying it all back might be tougher than you'll be able to handle.
If you only require $50K, don't be lent $100,000, even when that's possible when shopping for an unsecured loan in Carrollton, Alabama. So look at your alternatives, rates of interest, monthly payment figures and service fees when deciding where you need to get a loan.
How Tough would it be to Find an Unsecured Loan?
Let me use a popular gaming term and tell you "it depends." Provided that you meet the financial institution's standards, it shouldn't be too difficult. On the other hand, for those who have a couple of negative spots on your credit score or if you have a small income, you will have a tougher time being qualified for the very best loan interest rates. While they can advertise remarkable low interest rates, you won't qualify for them if you've got below-average credit. You can expect to pay greater rates of interest and need to provide more proof of earnings when you have negative to ordinary credit ratings.
Unsecured personal loan don't require collateral, making them more challenging to obtain than secured lending options. Those that meet the criteria of the loan provider, will find that it's simple enough to obtain an unsecured personal loan. You can actually boost your earnings and your consumer credit until you do meet the requirements and repeat the process. Lenders want to see on time payments and credit lines which are not maxed. If you would like an unsecured personal loan with a reasonable interest rate and monthly payment, these are generally the factors to focus on.
How Unsecured Loans Could Handle Credit Card Bills
Are you aware of what the average credit card rate of interest is? Most likely your credit card interest rate is not less than 12-15%. It's quite possibly nearer to 19 to 23% and this is often even if you have got decent credit. It's outrageous.
There is something you could do about it and it doesn't take too much time. You could look into a market place loan company that is wishing to improve its business and loan out funds at an affordable rate to help save you from those excessive credit card rates. Using a low rate unsecured loan, it's going to be easy and quick to repay credit debt. Particularly if you could be eligible for a lending option with an interest rate that may start as low as 5.99%. Imagine how much you'd save yourself every month, compared to your existing rates of interest.
Although credit card bills revolve indefinitely, an unsecured personal loan includes a fixed term. You can repay the debt in 24 to 84 months (dependant upon loan duration) with set monthly installments.
For anyone who is tired of paying excessive interest charges and service fees to your credit card providers, have a look at the various newer unsecured personal loan offers from innovative web based loan companies that have reduced charges and more competing interest rates.
Which Unsecured Personal Loan Service Should You Select in Carrollton?
Several consumers think they are able to obtain an unsecured personal loan with a low credit score or a small income in Carrollton, Alabama. Having said that, if you've got low earnings or a reputation of skipped payments, a good loan provider will not allow you to borrow money with a low APR. You should recognize that when you have weak credit, low earnings or no assets you'll generally not get a low interest rate loan and will probably get refused and need to search for alternate options for your consumer debt troubles.
For those who do meet the criteria, you will find amazing unsecured personal loan solutions, like Lending Club and Lightstream, to give consideration to. They have some of the best rates and cheapest service fees you can find anyplace. Based on your requirements, earnings, and credit score, it is possible to borrow $1,000 to $40,000 with Lending Club with a rate of interest anywhere between 5.99% and 35.89%.

Lightstream offers lending options as small as $5K to as high as $100K and their interest rates are very affordable. Additionally, they do not demand any kind of origin charges and no prepayment charges.
For anyone who is seeking out an unsecured personal loan, you won't find more advantageous loan companies than Lightstream and Lending Club. Now if you do not qualify for a lending option to consolidate your debt, you'll need to seek out loan alternatives. You can opt for a business like National Debt Relief if you wish to settle debt, have a lower monthly payment, and repay the financial debt for less than what you really owe.

A year or more ago I sent a mini-book back with DH to give to his Aunt and Uncle. His auntie is a bit of an artist herself, and she very kindly sent back to me both a mini she made by scanning the book I sent and embellishing it with some extra goodies AND a couple of little cards for the kids. The cards each had money, folded in interesting ways, and I always meant to pursue how to make them but never did.
You can see one is a little rosette and one is a curled heart. So sweet (although it didn't stop the kids from disassembling them and spending the money!)
The other day I saw the Tim Holtz die that makes paper rosettes. As I have said it is only recently I got an actual die cut machine (with both a Craft Robo and a Cuttlebug it seemed a bit redundant to get a manual machine) but the lovely embossing folders meant I needed something and the pasta machine just wasn't doing it for me in the end. Anyway, the paper rosette die looks interesting but not sure if my machine, a very old Zip-e-mate, would do the job so I looked for a way to make them with stuff I had. The Martha Stewart score board, with it's multitude of evenly placed scoring grooves, proved the perfect solution. I did a little You Tube video on how I did it, incorporating Auntie's idea of the tied element through the layers to hold it all in place. and I just love how sweet they look.
I imagine it would be easy enough to make them in a few sizes, and I assume other scoring systems would work too, but as I have the MS one (which I love) that's what I used. Have a go. They are really easy and can be made from as little as a 1 inch strip of patterned paper. I think they would also make adorable graduation cards, for example, making a bit more out of a gift of "folding money" than just a little sleeve, or sticking the bill inside the card.
