THANK YOU LETTERS AND NOTES
“Thank you” is a powerful statement that is seldom heard. Every thank you is an opportunity to sell your qualifications and to leave a fresh impression in the mind of the reader. Send a cover letter or note to employers and employment contacts whenever they have extended themselves in any way on behalf of your job search. At the minimum, a written thank you should be sent after all interviews.

Window discount blinds Heat Reducing Capacity
Window window blindsvertical or horizontal slat-typeare more effective at reducing summer heat gain than winter heat loss.Because of the numerous openings between the slats, it’s difficult to control heat loss through interior window custom blinds, but the slats offer flexibility in the summer. Unlike shades, you can adjust the slats to control light and ventilation. For example, when completely closed and lowered on a sunny window, highly reflective discount blinds can reduce heat gain by around 45%. They can also be adjusted to block and reflect direct sunlight onto a light-colored ceiling. A light-colored ceiling will diffuse the light without much heat or glare.

Window Treatment Inovations Funding
Among the projects selected for funding are:
Advanced Processing Technology of Electrochromic Windows: A process to develop new film patterning techniques for energy-saving smart windows. The process improves visible light transmission and reduces glare, while retaining a clear view and increasing thermal comfort. Also, encouraging innovation with window discount blinds and shades to help increase energy savings.
An Indirect Route for Ethanol Production: A process to develop fuel ethanol from renewable resources to achieve savings of 80 percent in energy consumption. The process helps U.S. farmers create a market for corn supplies and increases national energy security.
Manufacturing Ceramic Products from Fiberglass Waste: A low-cost energy method of completely transforming fiberglass waste into a dense ceramic product that can be used for window window blinds, shades, as well as other uses. The process could eliminate the need for disposal of 260,000 tons of fiberglass waste annually.
Near-Infrared (NIR) Veneer Strength Sensor for Forest Industry: Use of NIR sensors instead of ultra-sonic technology allows testing for veneer wood strength before drying. The NIR technology will improve process efficiency and reduce product waste, and is expected to save about $23,000 annually in energy costs.
The Force Modulator: A durable sheet metal technology for the steel industry that allows proper control of press forces during part forming.

Government Seeking Window Blind Inovation
“25 percent of the energy used to heat and cool buildings goes right out the window,” Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham said. “The innovative technologies receiving funding today will improve U.S. industrial competitiveness while reducing energy use, helping to make our nation more secure.” Existing window treatments and shades can be improved to help reduce energy costs.
The Energy Department selected 19 organizations out of 202 proposals to receive funding as part of two DOE programs: Inventions and Innovation (I&I), and the National Industrial Competitiveness through Energy, Environment and Economics (NICE3) initiative.

Window Blind Blogs
Update: We are starting some new forums, blogs and sites, We are considering opening a Open Source Forums at Adison U, any feedback on the idea of doing this and your comments on if you would participate are welcome. We also have opened a Ecology Directory a technology forum. Any feedback on our sites will help.
