A clear headed documentary on cannabis in Ireland.
Featuring Limerick physician William O'Shaugnessy, discoverer of the medical properties of cannabis, Mr Nice, Mr Ming, Prof Crown, addiction counsellors and a covert mildly paranoia-inducing visit to a grow house.
Maker Paul Roban writes:
The intention of this documentary is to explore the role of cannabis in 21st Century Ireland, not least due to growing usage within the mainstream, but also because of our failure to prevent its distribution. For this reason, we need to question the resources ploughed into the 'war on drugs' and whether both the time and manpower called upon is justifiable when it appears that all other progressive nations are either entirely decriminalising cannabis or relaxing their laws on its possession.

Hiv Rapid Testing Information

In Congo, Rebels Take Key City
Originally published on Wed November 21, 2012 9:29 am
After some of the worst fighting in recent years in a country where war is all-too common, rebel forces have taken control of the "strategic eastern city of Goma" in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The rebel forces, who Congolese officials allege have support from Rwanda, have vowed to "liberate" the nation "by moving to the town of Bukavu and then marching on the capital, Kinshasa, hundreds of kilometers away," Reuters reports.
The BBC's Barbara Plett writes that "the U.N.'s failure to confront insurgents who seized a strategic city in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday has raised questions about its largest and costliest peacekeeping mission. The blue helmets gave up the battle for Goma in the eastern part of the country without firing a shot, standing aside as M23 rebels — widely believed to be backed by Rwanda - overran the frontier city of up to one million people."
Update at 9:25 a.m. ET. Some Cheer The Rebels:
M23 Col. Vianney Kazarama was greeted with loud cheers from civilians who gathered at a stadium in Goma, NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton reports from Accra, Ghana. She adds that "Congolese President Joseph Kabila and Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame are holding talks in neighboring Uganda. Both Rwanda and Uganda deny accusations they're backing Congo's rebels."

Worst Rod Failure Yet
I don't usually post pictures of jobs until I have them under contract, but since this is the worst rod failure I've ever seen, exceptions must be made. Unusual for southern Florida, this is 2cm granite with a plywood substrate and a 2cm front edge build-up. I can't help believing that after the sink seal failed, (no mechanical fasteners) the saturated plywood contributed to the severe oxidation of the bedded rod. Notice how the raw cut edge of the bottom of the backsplash has sucked up water creating efflorescence on the splash face? That'll take diamonds to remove and repolish.
If it were only the front rod, an apron sink installation would solve things nicely. In fact, I'm waiting on a sink to do that very repair on another project. Unfortunately, there isn't enough stone in the rear, even if that were repairable, for that solution here.
Fortunately there is a pantry countertop with matching color and edge profile that can be sacrificed for the replacement here. At least that's the only way I'm touching this thing.
Rodding is old school, obsolete, and unnecessary with today's transportation tools. Why let a fabricator put a time bomb in your countertop?
Yikes! What a nightmare! How old is this installation? I must admit I'm not familiar with the rod technique. Maybe it's no longer used, or at least not in our area (Norhern California). Can you please explain how it works so we can avoid it at all costs?
"Rodding" is the process where slots are cut into the back of stone and a stainless steel or fiberglas rod is bedded with epoxy. It increases the tensile strength of stone by 600% or so. It is an authorized procedure according to the Marble Institute of America's Residential Installation Manual.
The problem comes when fabricators, to save money, use cold steel instead of stainless and polyester instead of epoxy to bed the rod. Epoxy is waterproof, polyester is not.
Unrodded stone subsumes the tensile strength of the cabinets when properly installed and there are tools that keep stone from breaking during transport, so a 600% gain in strength is moot. There is no longer a reason to rod most stones. As an aside, these tools pay for themselves in lower breakage rates and the reduced labor of eliminating rodding and rodding materials.
The homeowner said this had been going on for 18 months or so, but I am skeptical.
Way off topic, but my mom had a place on the beach on Siesta Key for 15 years. Loved visiting there, loved the soft, white sand, loved St. Armond's (sp?) circle, loved loved loved. Loved the daily 4 pm rains.
Just hated the sun.
But you two made nice memories flash through my head. Don't worry, it didn't hurt.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's much stronger than any rod and can usually be removed after the top is safely lying on the cabinets.
It installs and removes in less than a minute. I'd be surprised if anyone could rod a top in less than half an hour.
"Hey guys, I'm in Sarasota too. What are the odds?"
And the whole reason I came out of lurkdom & starting posting is because someone else from Sarasota asked a question on the Bath forum. Good to know if I have any region-specific questions, there are plenty of people on the boards to help.
Trebruchet, do you fabricate or strictly repair?
lol, treb. Had I know I would have called you last week when a mango stained my crackle tile! I was distraught but CEF saved the day - she came up with a tooth whitening poultice that actually worked! Now about my granite I don't think I have any rods in it - at least not that I know about but I will definitely give you a shout out if my granite goes kerblooey on me!.
Bowbat: I am amazed that there are three of us here. I thought everyone had left town! You could have rolled a bowling bowl down the aisle at Target today and not hit anyone! I'd be happy to answer any regional questions if I can and I am sure Treb also has lots of good recommendations up his sleeve.
"Trebruchet, do you fabricate or strictly repair?"
I recently gave a potential customer a price of $2,400.00 or so for a solid surface bathroom vanity with a coved backsplash recently. She's having granite put in for $1,000.00.
I will hand out Frosty's at the Wendy's drive thru before I'll give my level of service, expertise, and quality at competitive granite pricing.
I've found the secret to the repair business is cost effectiveness. I'm usually never competing against other repair persons, I'm competing against new/replacement work. There is an attractive window for customers somewhere between $0.00. and replacement. If I can hit the sweet spot by making it look 80% better and still be less than the down payment on new tops, I get the job.
I've refused work before too; several times. Told the folks their house was too nice and the tops too far gone and to use the money they would have paid me to buy new tops.

CAMBRIDGE- Old-time Swiss hockey players are coming to Cambridge to fight....
How is native healthcare like lunar robots? Crowd-sourcing might help both
The only thing more senior than the Preston International Hockey Tournament may be the people who run it.
"Well, it's still mostly old guys," joked tournament committee chairman Bob McIver.
But why not stay with what works? The tournament enters its 55th year this weekend and is seeing a bit of a revitalization. After 2008, where 122 teams hit the ice in Cambridge and Kitchener for one of the biggest hockey tournaments in the province for novice and atom age players, the tournament saw a bit of a downturn.
McIver said it wasn't anything the tournament had been doing, as they had been churning out the same product as before – which has earned them letters from visiting teams saying it's the best tournament they've ever played in – but due to circumstances beyond their control.
"I think the recession had a lot to do with it," he said.
"There were a lot of people sort of pulling in their horns about how much they could spend and how far they were willing to go, so our activity went down, no question about it."
This year, the tournament is back up to 119 teams after less than 100 last year. McIver attributes that to adding a MD/AE division, when the tournament had predominantly been an A, double-A and triple-A event.
"I haven't seen the full count yet, but we get quite a few teams in more categories."
In fact, eight teams are in the novice MD/AE group, while 12 are in minor atom and seven in atom. Part of the reason for the expansion, according to McIver, was the new affiliation with the Hespeler Minor Hockey Association. But that doesn't mean they will start adding more age divisions.
"Not likely, no. Well, not now anyway," he said.
"We're having ongoing discussions with Hespeler as far as future plans and all that kind of stuff, but nothing has been determined."
The only blip to this year's tournament is the lack of local teams. Unlike past weeks in the Hespeler Olympics, the Cambridge Ringette Tournament and Roadrunners girls' hockey tournament, city teams are in almost every division. Only three city teams are playing in Preston – the Cambridge novice MD Red Hawks, the Hespeler novice A Shamrocks and the Cambridge atom AA Hawks.
In the past, Cambridge teams used to be in every category.
"In terms of Cambridge, it's their choice. I suppose you could always ask them," McIver said about the lack of entries.
Regardless, teams have flocked from the U.S. this year, with squads from Rochester, Buffalo, Amherst and Florida. The Junior Panthers started making the trip from the Sunshine State when former Kitchener Rangers head coach and general manager Peter DeBoer's son played for the team.
"Those local connections don't hurt," McIver said.
And the local connection runs further, especially within the volunteers. Though the 25- to 30-year veterans are still with the tournament, new people who come in tend to be family members.
"Now, we have a couple of folks from Hespeler, and their two main representatives, Andy Toner and Kim McLeod, are from Preston," McIver said with a laugh.
The puck drops on the 55th edition of the tournament on Friday at 8 a.m. with four games, including the Cambridge novice MD Red Hawks against the Milton Winterhawks at the Hespeler Arena.
Championship games are on Sunday, as well as the minor atom all-star game at 10:30 a.m. and the atom all-star game at noon. The atom game will proceed a salute to NATO vets and Canadians serving in Afghanistan.
On Saturday, there will be Preston versus Hespeler alumni games at the Preston Auditorium. The plus-50 game starts at 6:30 p.m. and the under-50 game at 8 p.m.

What will grow in sand?
Former owners of our house built a really big platform for an above ground pool. It's full of sand and is on the south side of the property. I thought it might be nice to turn it into some sort of planting area.
It's pretty big and would be a huge undertaking to try and replace all the sand with garden soil, is there any type of plants/grass that would grow well in sand. Perhaps I could mix some soil with the sand.
Would love all suggestions
Hi Redshoe,
I found this site that lists plants that like sandy soil, I'll give you the link below. If it was me seeing as how I like Cacti and Succulents I'd incorporate them into a planting.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sandy Soil Plant list
You can grow many things in sand. Many saliva species, and all xeric plants will love the sand. Check out www.highcountrygardens.com
All those plants will love your sandy soil. You can make it a very lush green garden with the plants they sell, or incoporate trunking yuccas which look very tropical, cacti, and agaves will also all love the sand.
Plant a pine tree, or any type of conifer. I have also run across a list of plants that are drought-tolerant. But, you may also want to cross-reference them as to which are tolerant to the climate zone that you live in. New Brunswick has harsh winters.

We as a society have become increasingly accustomed to a daily onslaught of videos of people we will never actually meet. We can hardly check our e-mail or scan our Facebook pages anymore without seeing a video of a sneezing kitten, a dog running into a wall or some unfortunate guy getting whacked in his privates, a home-video favorite since well before Bob Saget was televising crotch-related tragedies for all the country to see. It can all start to feel like a bit much when you're on the receiving end. When you're on the other side, though?
A collision involving a Farmington school bus and a compact car caused considerable damage but no injuries Friday afternoon. The accident occurred shortly after 3 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 52 and 200th Street in Vermillion Township. The school bus had just dropped off its last student on the west side of Highway 52 and was turning around to pick up students at Farmington Elementary School when it was hit by a compact-type car heading southbound on the highway. There were no students on the bus and no passengers in the vehicle.
As far as Laurie Manley is concerned, pets are family, and she believes they should be treated with the same respect as any other relative. In life, and in death. Manley does most of her business at the one-year-old Heaven Scent Floral Design creating memorial arrangements for funerals. But she'd like to offer the same service to people who have lost a beloved pet. With input from customers, she can create tributes either lasting or temporary to animal companions that have passed on. The business specialty was born from Manley's experience with her own pet, an English Bulldog named Oreo.
As an assistant to the superintendent, Nancy Bjerke spent more than a decade running elections for the Farmington School District. She's retired now, but you'll still find her at the polls on Election Day. Bjerke is one member of the crew of election judges that kept things running during Tuesday's election. From setting up polling places to counting ballots to packing everything up at the end of the day, she and others like her are responsible for making sure everybody who wants to vote gets a chance to.
In the daytime, it doesn't look like much. But for two nights last weekend the patchwork construction of two-by-fours and black plastic that sprawls across Matt Philpot's backyard became the scariest place in Farmington. Philpot's creation -- he calls it the Tunnel of Terror -- is quickly becoming a Halloween tradition in his north Farmington neighborhood.
In a rare defeat of an incumbent judge, Red Wing resident Larry Clark unseated Judge Timothy Blakely in the First Judicial District. Clark, an assistant Dakota County attorney, said called the victory "an extreme honor." "This is the highest honor I think an attorney can achieve," he said early today. Late poll figures showed Clark leading Blakely 58 to 42 percent.
Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows was elected to a full four-year term Tuesday, defeating Apple Police Sgt. Mitch Scott by a 54- to 45-percent margin, 67,377 votes to 56,216 votes. The Dakota County Board of Commissioners appointed Bellows sheriff in February after former sheriff Don Gudmundson announced his retirement from the position. Bellows has more than 30 years of law enforcement experience and had been chief deputy with Dakota County for 10 years before his appointment as sheriff. "I am very gratified with winning this election and the support I received," said Bellows.
The name on the door will change this year in Senate District 36, but the political party of the person working behind that door will not. Republican Dave Thompson beat DFL opponent Steve Quist Tuesday in the race to replace longtime state Senator Pat Pariseau, who did not seek re-election after 20 years in the Senate.
On a night when the Farmington School Board was guaranteed at least two new members, voters opted instead for a clean sweep. Newcomers Tera Lee, Brian Treakle and Melissa Sauser all won seats on the board in Tuesday's election. Veronica Walter, the only incumbent who defended her seat, finished fourth in balloting. Lee was the top finisher with 4,565 votes. Treakle had 4,187 votes, Sauser 3,643 and Walter 3,245. Ron Groves was a distant fifth with 2,420 votes, Rebecca Keeler was sixth with 2,173 and Carol Kappes was seventh with 1,893.
Pat Garofalo won his fourth term in the Minnesota House of Representatives going away. Garofalo, a Republican, received nearly twice as many votes as DFL challenger Sigrid Iversen, 12,317 to 6,381. The win provided one familiar face in a sea of change on election night. Garofalo, a Farmington resident who won his first election to take a vacant seat six years ago, was in front from the beginning of Tuesday's vote count.

DEFINITION of 'Savings Rate'
The amount of money, expressed as a percentage or ratio, that one deducts from his/her disposable personal income to set aside as a nest egg or for retirement. The cash accumulated is typically put into very low-risk investments (depending on various factors such as expected time until retirement), like a money market fund or a personal IRA comprised of non-aggressive mutual funds, stocks and bonds.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Savings Rate'
For years, the savings rate in the United States has declined. In the 1970s and 1980s, personal savings rates were in the 5% to 7% range but then decreased to 1% to 3% range in the 21st Century. These averages figure tend to fall even lower as the American population, as a whole, continues to age. The national average savings rate is often determined by how a particular culture views debt and values possessions.

Director of Operations Interview Questions
Did you mean companies matching "Director of Operations"? See Companies
"The CEO is known for asking off the wall questions to see how you will think. He will present a problem to be solved and ask you to solve it on the spot. This will vary for every candidate."
"It was a very standard interview. The interviewer stuck to the very general questions."
"What is your greatest strength in the position that you are applying for with the Hard Rock Casino?"
"I had no difficult questions, really no questions at all. Just an open and honest conversation about my past experience and discussion about the needs of the company."
"How would you address performance for an Executive Director that did not have any move ins for two months?"
"Familiy owned business that is sucessful but needs an injection of outside influence to grow the business."
"Example of a situation where you were dealing with someone you didn't get along with and how did you overcome"

Will be directly connected to Noida, Delhi Airport. The new station is expected to cater to 20,000 commuters every day by 2016.
South Delhi's information technology hub, Nehru Place, is all set to get an additional metro station under Delhi Metro's Phase-III constructions. The new station is expected to cater to 20,000 commuters every day by 2016.
While Nehru Place is currently an important station on the Violet Line (Central Secretariat-Badarpur corridor), it is slated to get an additional station, linking it to the Janakpuri West–Botanical Garden corridor, which will directly connect the area to the satellite town of Noida and the domestic terminal of Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The new underground station will be constructed on Outer Ring Road opposite Paras Cinema and will have five entry and exit points including a subway across the busy Outer Ring Road. While one entry point will be made just near Paras Cinema, the other will come up on the road leading up to Lady Shriram College and three other entry points will be built near Nehru Enclave as well as the Veer Savarkar School near Nehru Place. However, there will not be any direct connectivity with the existing elevated metro station at Nehru Place.
The tender for the civil construction of the new station has already been floated and the contract is expected to be awarded by next month. By the end of the year, construction is slated to begin. The station which will help commuters from nearby areas such as Nehru Enclave, Kalkaji and Chittaranjan Park is expected to see a footfall of over 19,500 in 2016 according to the Detailed Project Report. By 2031, more than 30,000 commuters will be benefited by this connectivity.

This specification discloses a cased-in book with overhanging hard covers; and a filler in the book made up of sheets having reading matter and/or pictures thereon, and the filler also includes a thick panel, made of material such as styrofoam, with one or more sockets in the thick panel for holding a sound record, preferably a tape cassette; and another socket, if desired, for holding transparent slides. The record and the transparencies provide audio-visual adjuncts to the material set forth in the bound pages of the book.
1. A hard cover book including in combination a cover having panels comprising front and back covers of the book, said panels including a first panel and a second panel connected with a spine panel of the cover, a socket panel of much greater thickness than the cover panels of the book, the socket panel being secured to the inside surface of the first panel and constituting an integral part of one cover of the book, the socket panel having a socket therein facing away from the panel to which it is secured, a filler bound to and within the cover, said filler comprising a group of pages bound together, a tape to which the filler is secured, the tape being secured, immediately beyond a spine portion of the filler, to inner sides of the front and back covers of the book whereby the pages are supported by the front and back covers, in substantially flat condition, when the pages are held open by a reader, end-papers of the filler adhered to and covering the surface of the second panel and part of the surface of the first panel, the filler pages and socket panel being secured to the cover with the top, bottom and front edges of the filler pages and the socket panel being spaced back by substantially equal distances from the corresponding edges of the cover panels to present the appearance, when closed, of a conventional hard cover book.
2. The book described in claim 1 characterized by the socket panel being made of a stiff, foamed plastic material with the socket shaped to hold a sound cassette which is removable from the socket for playing and which reproduces sound related with the reading matter of the bound pages of the book.
3. The book described in claim 1 characterized by the socket panel being made of stiff, light, foamed polystyrene plastic and with the edges of the plastic of the same color as the edges of said pages whereby the pages and the socket panel give the effect of a single filler in the cover when the book is closed.
4. The book described in claim 1 characterized by the socket in the socket panel having resilient means for holding a cassette in the socket.
5. The book described in claim 1 characterized by the socket panel having a socket for holding audio apparatus and another socket for holding visual apparatus, both of said apparatus being constructed and arranged for use in conjunction with the reading matter on the bound pages of the book.
6. The book described in claim 1 characterized by a tape cassette in the socket panel, a second socket in said socket panel, and a plurality of transparent projector slides in the second socket for projecting as an illustration relating to reading matter in the bound pages.
7. The book described in claim 6 characterized by releasable means extending across the second socket for holding the transparent projector slides in said second socket.
8. The book described in claim 6 characterized by the inside surface of the front panel of the cover being blank and of light color over most of its area for use as a screen for projecting the slides for small scale viewing of the transparency scenes.
9. The book described in claim 6 characterized by the socket for the cassette having surfaces that hold the cassette in the socket by friction, and an elastic band detachably connected with the socket panel and extending across the second socket for holding the slides in the second socket.
10. The book described in claim 1 characterized by the tape to which the pages and the socket panel are secured at their rearward ends, the cover panels being connected with the spine panel along hinge lines, and the tape extending across the front and back panels of the cover beyond the hinge lines and being connected with the front and back panels of the cover for a portion of the width of said front and back panels.
This invention is a novel construction for a book having a filler made up partly of printed pages and partly of a stiff and relatively thick panel which has one or more sockets therein for holding apparatus that is used in conjunction with the reading matter of the book. This apparatus preferably includes a sound record, such as a recorded tape cassette and may also include transparent slides that can be projected as illustrations for the book.
The preferred construction has hard covers that project beyond the top, bottom and front edges of the filler; and the relatively thick panel is preferably of the same dimensions as the pages and with its edges of the same color, so that when the book is closed it presents the appearance of an ordinary book without accentuating the presence of the relatively thick panel which contains sockets for holding the record and/or transparencies.
The illustrated embodiment of the invention has a loose back so that the book will lie in open position on a table or other support; and a tape to which the filler is connected, extends partway across the inside surfaces of the front and back panels of the cover with the tape at the rearward cover panel hidden by the socket panel and with the tape at the front cover hidden by an end paper or other lining of the inside front cover.
The sound record or recorded tape cassette is preferably held in its socket by friction; but in order to make the removal of the lantern slides more easily accomplished, they are preferably held in sockets of somewhat greater cross section than the lantern slides and the slides are held in the sockets by a band or strap extending across the open, front end of the lantern slide socket. An elastic band removably connected to hooks on opposite sides of the transparency socket provides an effective and inexpensive construction for retaining the slides in their socket.
The record and the transparencies are adjuncts for the bound sheets with their reading matter and/or pictures.
If the book is of large enough size, the socket panel can be made with a plurality of sockets for holding more than one cassette and/or groups of transparencies for projection.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will appear or be pointed out as the description proceeds.
In the drawing, forming a part hereof, in which like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the views:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view showing the book of this invention partially open and with the socket panel exposed with all of the sockets empty and without retaining means for holding the transparencies in their sockets;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2--2 of FIG. 1, with one socket filled with a recorded tape cassette which is shown in elevation;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of FIG. 1 and showing one of the sockets filled with transparencies which are partly broken away and in section, and showing also an elastic band for holding the transparencies in the socket; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4--4 of FIG. 1 showing the front cover panel, the bound sheets and the spine portion of the cover.
FIG. 1 shows a book 10 with a cover 11 comprising a front cover panel 12 and a back cover panel 14 connected together by a spine portion 16 of the cover and having hinge lines 18 where the front and back panels connect with the spine portion 16.
The book filler includes a group of sheets 22 bound together as one or more signatures or in any suitable fashion; and these sheets contain printed matter and/or pictures relating to the subject matter of the book.
The filler also includes a panel 24, which will be referred to herein as the socket panel. This socket panel 24 is relatively thick and is substantially thicker than the cover panels of the book. There is at least one socket in the socket panel 24 for holding a record and preferably a recorded tape cassette. The construction shown in the drawing has four cassette holding sockets 26 with resilient studs 30 for holding the individual cassette in each of the sockets 26. Other friction means can be used if desired.
These cassette sockets 26 are lined with plastic cassette holders that are gripped in the corresponding sockets in the socket panel 24.
The socket panel 24 also contains a number of smaller sockets 32 of a size for holding a plurality of transparent slides 34 (FIG. 3). These transparencies or slides 34 are partially broken away and in section in FIG. 3. The sockets 32 are shown empty in FIG. 1.
The sockets 32 can be made of somewhat larger cross section than the slides 34 on at least one side to provide clearance for lifting the slides out of the socket 32, or the socket panel 24 may be tilted downward so that the slides will fall out by gravity.
Resilient and detachable means are preferably provided for holding the transparencies 34 in their socket 32. The construction shown in FIG. 3 includes two small hooks 38 attached to the socket panel 24 on opposite sides of the socket 32. An elastic rubber band 40 is stretched across the socket 32 and hooked over the hooks 38 to retain the transparencies 34 in their socket. For clearer illustration, these hooks 38 are shown extending above the top surface of the panel 24 but they can be located in shallow recesses so as not to have any projection above the top surface (in FIG. 3) which will contact with the back of the sheets 20 when the book is closed.
FIG. 2 shows a sectional view through the socket panel on the line 2--2 of FIG. 1 but on a larger scale. The sockets 26 are shown lined with plastic receptacles 44 for receiving a cassette 46 which is shown inserted in the socket 26 at the left hand part of FIG. 2.
The socket panel 24 is preferably made of foamed plastic such as the well-known foamed styrene commonly referred to as "Styrofoam". Other material can be used for the socket panel 24 and it can be of composite construction involving the use of corrugated board with covering sheets as needed to provide an attractive appearance. A stiff one-piece light plastic foam panel such as shown in the drawing is the preferred construction.
FIG. 4 shows the way in which the filler, comprising the sheets 22 and the socket panel 24, are connected with the cover panels 12 and 11, respectively. Both the sheets 22 and the panel 24 are secured to a backing tape 50 by adhesive. This backing tape 50 extends beyond the filler and part way across the width of the rear cover panel 11 and the front cover panel 12 as shown in FIG. 4. The tape 50 is firmly adhered to the inside surface of the cover panels 11 and 12.
In the construction illustrated in FIG. 4, the inside surface of the rear panel 11 is formed by a sheet 52, preferably made of paper; but this sheet is optional and the socket panel 24 can be adhesively adhered to the back panel 11 in a construction without the surface sheet 52.
The portion of the tape 50 which is adhered to the front cover panel 12 is covered by a paper sheet 54 which is preferably an end paper of the bound sheets 22. The first sheet (lowermost in FIG. 4) of the sheets 22 is adhered to the cover sheet 54 near the rearward edges of the sheets 22, the location being indicated by the reference character 56 in FIG. 4.
FIG. 4 shows the spine panel 16 joined to the rear and front covers 11 and 12, respectively, at hinge lines 60. It will be apparent from the construction shown in FIG. 4 that the book has a "loose-back" such as facilitates the lying open in flat condition when the book is so placed on a table or other support.
By having the edges of the pages 22 of the same color as the edges of the socket panel 24 and of the same dimensions, the edges of the sheets 22 are in alignment with the edges of the socket panel when the book is closed and this provides a neat and compact construction with the sockets completely covered by the group of sheets 22 so as to protect the apparatus in the sockets from dust and dirt.
The back of the last sheet of the sheets 22 can be left blank, if desired, so as to serve as a screen on which the slide transparencies can be projected if the user of the book wants to project the slides on a small screen. The inside surface of the front cover 12 can also be used as a screen when the sheets 22 are lying over the socket panel 24.
The preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated, but changes and modifications can be made and some features can be used in different combinations without departing from the invention as defined in the claims.

How to Flatten a Rolled Map or Poster
Edited by Travis Derouin, Jack Herrick, Erika Altek, Sondra C and 12 others
Rolled wall maps or posters are hard to put on the wall if they keep rolling back up. It helps to flatten them first using weights before you attempt to put them up. Keep reading for instructions on flattening a rolled up map or poster.
Flatten a Rolled Map or Poster Step 1 Version 3.jpg1Roll your poster opposite from the way that it curls. Start loose and tighten it up as you go, to avoid creasing it. Sometimes this is enough to flatten it, depending on the paper and how long it has been rolled.Ad

- Good substitutes for paperweights include smooth rocks, glass jars, bean bags, and heavy books. Don't put heavy weights on the poster on a soft surface. The poster could crinkle.
- If you place the poster on the floor to flatten it, make sure it is out of the way so that nobody steps on it.
- If your poster continues to curl after completing step 5, keep the weights on for longer.
- Work gently to avoid crinkling the poster.
- Ironing does not work for flattening posters.
- Do not use rubber bands that have ink stamps on them, as they may stain your paper.
- If you want to laminate a poster, flatten it first.
- If you want to flatten a vintage poster, please take it to a professional.
