Curved Window window blinds
If curved custom blinds are desired, a radius of curvature may be given with the +/-r option. If given as +r, The curvature is upward (which is the usual configuration). If the option is given as -r, then the curvature is downward. The radius indicates how far from each slat its effective cylindrical center resides. Each slat will be broken into as many polygons as is necessary to keep the delta changes in angle less than 10 degrees. (Note that this may result in a rather large number of polygons.)

How to Take Mini Blind Measurements
In order to perform field measurements for venetian discount blinds, first you have to determine whether the window blinds are to be mounted inside or outside the window. Please specify which method of installation will be required. If an inside mount is required, the width of the window should be measured at the top, the middle, and the bottom, with the smallest measurement being the measurement recorded. The length of the window should be taken on the left and on the right sides, with the longest measurement being the measurement recorded. The manufacturer will take the necessary deductions.

Mini Blind Measurement Dimensions
Width x Length (Width Is Always Listed First) If an outside mount is required, the Width of the window should be measured at the top, the middle, and the bottom, with the smallest measurement being the measurement recorded minus 1/4 inch to allow room for the brackets to be installed. The Length of the window should be taken on the right and the left sides, with the smallest measurement being the measurement recorded (do not deduct 1/4 inch from this measurement).
Width x Length (Width Is Always Listed First) For continuous curtain wall windows where outside mount is required, measure the Width from center line of window mullion to center line of window mullion, record this dimension. This should be treated as an inside measurement as stated above.
Call contractor if questions should arise prior to placing your order.

Friends Help Friends who are Anorexic
What should I do if I think someone I know is in eating disorder treatment?
If someone you know is in eating disorder treatment, you may be able to help.
Ask your friend to talk to a professional. Your friend can talk to a counselor or doctor who knows about eating issues. Offer to help your friend find a counselor or doctor and make an appointment, and offer to go with her or him to the appointment. Avoid conflicts. If your friend won’t admit that she or he has a problem, don’t push. Be sure to tell your friend you are always there to listen if she or he wants to talk.
Don’t place shame, blame, or guilt on your friend. Don’t say, “You just need to eat.” Instead, say things like, “I’m concerned about you because you won’t eat breakfast or lunch.” Or, “It makes me afraid to hear you throwing up.”
Don’t give simple solutions. Don’t say, “If you’d just stop, then things would be fine!” Let your friend know that you will always be there no matter what.

What are Exterior window treatments?
Exterior roller window coverings are usually made of wood, steel, aluminum, or vinyl. They’re mounted above the window. Side channels guide them as they’re lowered and raised. When you lower these window treatments completely, their slats meet and provide shade. If partially raised, the window coverings allow some air and daylight to enter through windows.

Methadone is not a Heroin Substitute
As used in maintenance chemical dependency treatment, methadone and LAAM are not heroin substitutes.
Injected, snorted, or smoked heroin causes an almost immediate “rush” or brief period of euphoria that wears off very quickly, terminating in a “crash.” The individual then experiences an intense craving to use more heroin to stop the crash and reinstate the euphoria. The cycle of euphoria, crash, and craving - repeated several times a day - leads to a cycle of addiction and behavioral disruption. These characteristics of heroin use result from the drug’s rapid onset of action and its short duration of action in the brain. An individual who uses heroin multiple times per day subjects his or her brain and body to marked, rapid fluctuations as the opiate effects come and go. These fluctuations can disrupt a number of important bodily functions. Because heroin is illegal, addicted persons often become part of a volatile drug-using street culture characterized by hustling and crimes for profit.

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.

History of the Mini Blind
A mini blind (mini-blind, miniblind) is a type of non-vertical window blind made of long, narrow slats held together by string and located inside the window. Its slats are not as wide as venetian blind slats.2 A mini blind has more slats than a regular Venetian blind because its slats are narrow. The slats of mini window treatments are less than half the width of regular Venetian window coverings. The slats are opened and closed by rotating a rod or by directly pulling a string. They are raised and lowered by pulling other strings.
window treatments made of narrow, light-weight horizontal wood slats, adjustable to admit or exclude light, were developed in 1794, and called Venetian window coverings. The window treatments were often used instead of window curtains or shutters. In the 1840s, these window coverings were held together by flat strips of cloth instead of by cords perhaps to shade the lift holes and like today they came in various colors.4 In 1966, a new pulley system was invented which afforded great improvement in the control mechanism. 5 Over time, narrower slats became more common, as they were easier to clean and they reduced glare at certain settings and their appearance was pleasing to many. In 1946 Henry Sonnenberg and Joe Hunter developed technology and equipment for the production of lightweight aluminum slats (50 mm) for Venetian window treatments, and by 1979, 25 mm slats were popular.6

History of Glucose cholestechs
Anton Hubert Clemens received the first patent for a blood glucose cholestech called the Ames Reflectance cholestech on September 14, 1971. Richard K. Bernstein, an insulin dependent physician with diabetes, was one of the first patients to monitor his blood glucose at home using a glucose cholestech. He published a report on his experiences in an early volume of the medical journal, Diabetes Care. He has also written a book on this subject “Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution: A Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars”.
The first articles in the medical literature on the home blood glucose monitoring were published in 1978 (references 1-5). These demonstrated that patients could reliably measure their blood glucose levels at home cholestech improve control of their glucose levels.

What is a Mini Blind?
The long horizontal slats are held one above the other by the rungs of ladder cords shaped like a ladder. The lower ends of the legs of the ladder cords are secured to the long rail under the slats. Their upper ends are attached to the drive rod in the housing, the elongated box above the slats. As the drive rod rotates, one leg of each ladder cord moves up while the other moves down, causing the angle of the slats to change. In one design, this rotation is achieved by pushing up or pulling down on a long handle called a tilt wand connected to the drive rod by a lever. Lift cords along the ladder cords are also attached to the rail. They pass through holes in the slats and into the housing above, where they go over pulleys, combine and exit through the cord lock. For safety it’s important that the lock always work. A downward pull on the main lift cord raises the slats by the cords pulling up the rail below the slats. The cord lock holds the main lift cord to keep the slats up until the cord is pulled to release the lock. The safety lock made the cord lock easier to use.
