The divider is movable between an inserted position wherein at least part of the divider is positioned in the pocket, and a retracted position wherein the at least part of the divider is not positioned in the pocket. The divider includes at least one of a slit or a notch to provide ease of movement of the divider in moving between the inserted position and the retracted position.

Abstract: A perpetual month display calendar, consisting of three components: a month/day display loop, a date display loop, and a back cover, configured independently and assembled together to display a full month's information. The desired month is selected by vertically shifting the month/day display loop pieces and positioning the piece of the corresponding month on the top front section. The layout of the dates is selected by horizontally shifting the date display loop pieces, which then embrace the month/day display loop. The back cover is attached to enhance the appeal and functionality of the back of the calendar. The calendar does not comprise small loose individual pieces, allowing its manipulation with no concern of possibly losing one of them.

Abstract: A color changing display system includes a docking member, a light source secured to the docking member, a controller electrically connected to the light source, a body removably connected to the docking member, and a combined printed image comprising two or more images printed in a single layer on the body. The light source is for producing different light colors. The controller is configured to control the light source to provide a smooth transition between the different light colors. The images are different colors. Each of the different color images reacts with a respective color of the different light colors such that an appearance of the combined printed image changes gradually from a first display image having one particular shape into a second display image having a second particular shape in response to the different light colors interacting with the combined printed image to produce a moving, seemingly holographic effect.
