Binding a hardcover book is not as hard as you may be thinking. Once you know the process you can do it easily. But before you get a perfect hardcover book you'll need to practice. You know the old saying - " Practice makes a man perfect". Same is the case here. If you are doing this the first time use some rough materials. After you have some confidence you can go for the original books. Here is a simple tutorial on how to bind a hardcover book.

First of all see that you have all the materials ready. Here is a list

• signatures
• hard cover
• sharp object for making small holes (awl)
• heavy thread
• PVA glue
• blade
• ruler
• thick paper for wrapping around the cover

The procedure for creating the hardcover book is as follows

Take the topmost paper and fold it to half. The spine is present at the fold. Keep all the papers below it in correct order. Now make four holes on the spine. See that all the papers have the holes at the same points.

Fold all the pages and make a signature by grouping four to six pages.

Now comes the difficult part - stitching. For the first signature take the needle into the first hole, out of the second hole, then into the third hole and then out of the fourth hole. This is for first signature.

Take the second stack and attach to the first one. Take the needle through the first hole of second stack, then into second hole. From here go to the second hole of first signature, then through third hole of first stack. Now go to the third hole of second signature then through the fourth. This will attach the two signatures. Continue in this way for other stacks. In order to practice take four signatures and stitch to get the correct idea.

After stitching all the signatures apply the PVA glue thoroughly over the entire spine. Clamp this strongly and let it dry completely.

Meanwhile take the hard cover and cut two pieces the size of the paper. Cut one more for fitting on the spine.

Place these three pieces of cover on a large thick paper ( for wrapping around the cover ) Apply glue and stick the cover pieces on the thick paper. The cover is ready.

Now apply glue on the spine of the cover and the book. Attach them together and hold them tightly using a clamp. Let them dry.

The next day you will have your own hardcover book.

Let's test your knowledge of Frame Relay DLCIs, Inverse ARP, IPv6 zero compression, and other vital Cisco certification exam topics!

CCENT Certification:

Identify the true statement(s) regarding Frame Relay mapping.

A. Always map the local DLCI to the local IP address.

B. Always map the local DLCI to the remote IP address.

C. Always map the remote DLCI to the local IP address.

D. Always map the remote DLCI to the remote IP address.

E. To allow dynamic mapping, Inverse ARP must be enabled.

F. To allow dynamic mapping, Inverse ARP must be disabled.

Answers: B, E. The frame map statement should reference a local DLCI and a remote IP address. For example, to map the local DLCI 122 to the remote IP address 172.12.123.2, we'd use this command on the Serial interface used to reach that address:

R1(config-if)#frame map ip 172.12.123.2 122 broadcast

Inverse ARP does enable dynamic mapping, but most Frame networks use static routing. It can be a pain to mix static and dynamic mappings, especially when a router is reloaded, so most network admins disable dynamic mapping with this command:

R1(config-if)#no frame-relay inverse-arp

CCNA Exam:

What summary route can be used to advertise the following four routes?

10.4.0.0 /16

10.5.0.0 /16

10.6.0.0 /16

10.7.0.0 /16

Answer: 10.4.0.0 255.252.0.0, or 10.4.0.0 /14 in prefix notation.

CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

You are examining an IPv6 address and notice two consecutive colons. What does this represent, if anything?

Answer: Those two colons represent a string of zeros. This is referred to as zero compression, but can only be done once in a single IPv6 address. Leading zero compression, though, can be done as many times as is appropriate in an IPv6 address.

Original format: 1234:1234:0000:0000:0000:0000:3456:3434

Using zero compression: 1234:1234::3456:3434

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

How many bytes are added to a frame as a result of ISL encapsulation?

Answer: The header is 26 bytes, the trailer containing the CRC value is 4 bytes, for a total of 30 bytes.

CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:

What command disables ICMP redirects?

Answer: no ip redirects.

CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:

What number and name are given to the highest possible CoS value?

Answer: The highest possible CoS value is 7 (111 in binary), known commonly as Network.

Do you want to make money online, but are limited in the amount of time you can spend online? Here is an idea for you online surveys. There are facts and myths associated with online surveys, and this article will alert you to both.

The fact is you can make money online by taking surveys. While the compensation will certainly not make you rich, it can add additional monies to your pocket. The myth associated with online surveys is that the ads claiming several hundred dollars can be made per survey are incorrect.

There are literally hundreds of survey sites which offer, cash; entry into sweepstakes; prizes; and gift certificates. To begin taking surveys online, you should hook up with a legitimate company such as Survey Scout wherein they offer you, for free, all of the current online survey sites. In addition, they give you the top 25 sites to join, and always update their list accordingly.

The fact is you never have to pay any online survey company to join. If they ask for a fee, they are not legitimate. Moreover, there are pseudo Survey Scout sites which do require a fee; do not join as they are not the original company.

The amount of money you can make taking online surveys are largely dependent on the amount of surveys you take, and the time you have to take them. Most average from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the company. As stated earlier, some offer cash incentives while other offer prizes. The unique feature in signing up with Survey Scout is they list what each company offers, thereby allowing you to pick and choose which online survey sites you wish to join.

To begin this venture, stick with the top 10. This is especially important as they are the most well known sites and offer cash and gift certificates. How much can you make?
Depending on whether or not you qualify for a particular survey, you can make anywhere from $2.00 to $10.00 per survey. However, keep in mind these surveys are not offered daily.

In addition, there are sites you can join who offer larger sums of money. These are mainly focus groups wherein you participate perhaps once every 3 months. You will be asked to sign up, given a time and date, and in some cases asked to download specific software to be able to participate in the interactive survey. These surveys can yield anywhere from $25.00 to $150.00, depending on the company, and if you qualify.

Those who have participated in online surveys as a way to make money online have attested to the fact that while the compensation is minimal, they have made a few thousand dollars over a years time. Keep in mind; they have joined over 100 survey sites. As with any how to make money online venture, only you can decide how much time you are willing to devote to this endeavor.
