Abstract: An automated, Web-based system and method for rating a candidate for employment, wherein an application and/or resume are submitted electronically and are subjected to an automated review process, wherein the applicant's qualifications may be first rated against a minimal, pre-selected set of employment criteria, and wherein the application, if it passes the initial screen, is subsequently screened against a more robust, pre-selected set of rating criteria to determine qualification for a particular position or set of positions. The invention also includes the ability to automate the scoring and rating of written narrative responses provided by job applicants, wherein the computerized method implements preselected methods of obtaining consensus, if required, between individual raters and then applies the scores in a predefined manner to obtain a final rating for the applicant.

Abstract: The present invention is a firelight reflective system insertable within, or permanently attachable to, one or more interior surfaces of a fireplace or a firebox. The present invention comprises, in one embodiment, one or more sheets of a light or image reflective material which are measured to substantially fit one or more of the interior walls of a firebox. In one example, the mirrored glass has a viewable surface and a coupling surface. A heat resistant adhesive is placed upon the coupling surface to couple or otherwise securely attach the reflective material to one or more of the corresponding interior surfaces of the firebox. In another embodiment, each sheet of reflective material takes up substantially the same surface area as one or more of the interior surfaces of the firebox.
