A better pencil sharpener? Inventor dreams of erasing life's annoyances

18 hrs.

Devin Coldewey , NBC News

Long lines at amusement parks. Traffic stalled at rush hour. Cycling uphill. To most of us, these are just minor problems we face in an otherwise comfortable existence.?To Anwar Farooq, they are personal call-outs, challenges that he must answer with his own ingenuity. These days, the math?teacher and habitual?inventor is wrestling with the age-old problem of the?pencil sharpener.

"When I saw my students struggling with the regular pencil sharpener, I honestly knew that there must be an alternate approach, so I started thinking," Farooq, who teaches?at Maywood Academy,?southeast of Los Angeles, told NBC News.

That's not the first time Farooq "started thinking."

His inventions, spanning 1986 to now, may?seem whimsical at first, but on closer inspection are like early ancestors of devices in use today. There's a bike where your pedaling is boosted by an air compressor, for instance. If you replace the air compressor with an electric motor, you get today's battery-powered bikes.

There's?the Robocam, a?remote-controlled camera platform that's a precursor to telepresence robots and smartphone?videoconferencing apps alike.

For those annoying amusement park or movie theater?lines, Farooq proposes a chain of connected, moving chairs.?You take a load off, enjoy the?built-in entertainment system, and before long, it's your turn to get up and enjoy the ride or show. He calls it Waiting Is Fun.?It may seem far-fetched?... until Disney goes and installs one in Tomorrowland.

The idea Farooq seems most proud of is the?Rapid Commute. Cars traveling from the outskirts of a city?drive right onto a high-speed train, as if they were boarding a ferry boat. The train then brings them to a central location downtown, where they disembark. Next month he will be presenting it to the Transportation Research Board, an off-shoot of the non-profit?National Research Council,?at its annual meeting in Washington, D.C.

And then there's the?Quick N Silent pencil sharpener.?

* * *

Pencil sharpeners are, in fact, one of the few classroom technologies that have?not?experienced a radical redesign in the past century. The most common type of institutional sharpener, the hand-cranked type you can still see?mounted to a wall or the teacher's table in classrooms all over the world,?was introduced in 1904.

Sure, electric versions have been introduced, but?the cylindrical mills rotating in "planetary" fashion within?are still dominant ? despite the inconsistency of their results.

Nevertheless, when Farooq wrestled with how to modernize the?pencil sharpener, he didn't look to some?laser that could hone the tip of a pencil with micron-level precision. Instead, he found inspiration in the distant?past.

"I remembered that people carried pocket knives and they just used those to sharpen pencils quietly and efficiently."

He set to work on the new machine based on the same principles.

* * *

Farooq was always an inventor at heart, but he told us that, growing up in Pakistan, he never had a chance to exercise his creative capabilities. "Even if I had an idea, we were from the lower middle class, so we didn't have any money to do anything," he told us. "My biggest break is that I came to a country like America ??and now I can do those things I desire."

But even after moving to the U.S. in the 1970s, inventing hasn't been exactly easy for Farooq. In fact, following his dreams can at times be something of an expensive habit. "Of course it's a hardship to me and tight financially," he admitted. "My wife says, 'Why don't you take up gambling?'"

At least to him, though, the cost is worth it.?"I live for that, that excitement of finding something, of discovering something." He points out that the famed inventor Nicola Tesla died a poor man, but now they're building a Tesla?museum. Farooq doesn't expect a museum, but he does hope that his inventions will outlast him.

It may be his latest baby, the pencil sharpener,?that lives on. Even in our increasingly?digital world, Farooq feels strongly that pencil and paper, as?a medium for recording thoughts and images, won't disappear any time soon.?"Yes, it is old and unglamorous technology, but it's foolproof and works as advertised."

Its biggest asset is its low cost: "It's cheap enough to be owned by almost anyone in the world," he said.

When he finally figured out how to implement the pocket-knife method of sharpening, Farooq built a mock-up and?patented his design.

His prototype doesn't grind, like the rotary sharpeners in classrooms?worldwide. Nor does it shave around the edge, like the small twisty?single-blade sharpeners that predate the rotary type. Instead, it uses multiple blades to whittle down the edge from all sides at once. True to its name, the blades slice down the end of the pencil, exposing a sharp tip and plenty of lead in a single, silent pass.

Farooq is looking for funding to start manufacturing the device, which he has continually modified over the last few years in his spare time.?A crowd-funding attempt at?Fundageek, a website for inventors, has not produced much income. But he intends to put a more complete version of the device up for consideration on Indiegogo, a larger platform for collecting funding.

In the meantime, Farooq will keep on inventing. His own modest?website lists two things ? Personal Safety 360 and GPS Live Cam ??that he isn't ready to discuss publicly.

"When I came to this country,?I wanted to do something positive, a legacy to leave behind." Whether his inventions find widespread adoption or not, Farooq's insatiable inventor's spirit may continue to inspire the kids in his classroom ??as well as those who encounter him through his growing portfolio.

This topic is an Out Of Character part of the roleplay, ?Midnight Run?. Anything posted here will also show up there.

Topic Tags:

Forum for completely Out of Character (OOC) discussion, based around whatever is happening In Character (IC). Discuss plans, storylines, and events; Recruit for your roleplaying game, or find a GM for your playergroup.
2021- Nanotechnology comes of age and is introduced in many disparate fields from medical applications to fashion.

2025- Peak oil is reached and First World Countries are the hardest hit. War becomes increasingly bloody and desperate as global powers try to control the dwindling resources. Drilling and mining of previously protected areas begins.

2028- China becomes the world?s leading super power. However the communist party restricts personal freedoms and scientific research is focused on military technology.

2029- America?s infrastructure fails to adapt to new economic climate economy enters into a depression.

2030- European countries band together and create The European Central Government. Membership criteria is strict and most of the power rests with Germany, France and The United Kingdom. The social policy of the ECG is very right wing.

2032- After years of political turmoil Texas finally seceded leading to the start of the fragmentation of the United States.

2031- Creative use of Nanotechnology results in the creation of the Schafer Terraforming Programme designed by Gary Schafer.

2032- European Company Bauer Industries and Japanese company Chenmo sign the largest merger in corporate history. One of their projects is the Terraforming of Mars.

2039- The combination of Nanotechnology and Robotics leads to the creation of the first Muscle suits.

2043- Muscle suit technology is incorporated into the development of artificial limbs for veterans and victims of the Resource wars. In many ways these limbs are superior to natural ones. Interest in Human augmentation increases.

2045- Thirteen years after the merger BC Industries commences it?s long anticipated Red Skies Project. This is the Terraforming of Mars.

2046- Red Skies successfully land on Mars through the use of advanced technology the first atmosphere is created in a Martian Crater.

2047- Colonist leave Earth in their thousands as new colonies are set up around Mars. Most colonists become Miners.

2050- Using the massive profits made from the Red Skies project BC Industries fund research into M theory with a view to practical applications. Results come quickly and the First M-gate is created, near Earth.

2051- The Mars M-Gate is completed. The development is revolutionary as now travel between the two Planets takes three days. New industries crop up thanks to ease for travel between the two locations.

2052- Fearing increased Governmental meddling in their research projects BC Industries moves their corporate Head Quarters to Mars along with their R&D departments. Other companies are quick to follow suit and Terraform their own craters.

2057- Artificial Intelligence is created by a scientist called Jacqueline Brady. While she receives credit for the breakthrough the science is owned by Applied Information Models a niche company. This single development makes the Company the second wealthiest on Mars almost overnight.

2060- The AI?s are combined with robotics technology to make the first thinking robots. These are christened Synthetics. While the first generation are crude things designed for manual labour, the newer model are almost indistinguishable from humans.

2063- Mars becomes more interested in their own developments leaving Earth much to it?s own devices as M-Gate traffic becomes very one sided.

2065- After experiencing a massive period of growth the people of Mars become concerned with the influence the Companies have over their lives. This results in the creation of the Martian People?s Assembly or MPA. It?s a democratically that oversees life on Mars. The creation of a Police force called the Mars Security Service (MSS) also comes into being, they perform a role similar to normal police forces. While many were surprised the companies gave up power so readily it became clear that that the companies still pull the strings through bribery on coercion. Many employ their own private security teams that are comparable to small armies.

2086- A long period of sustained growth on Mars is mirrored by Earth?s decline. However the divide between rich and poor on Mars is ever increasing leading to rises in criminality and terrorism. The simultaneous bombing of a Starliner results in the Creation of the MSS?s Counter Terrorist Unit or The CTU for short.

2098- An M-Gate is constructed near Titan one of Jupiter?s Moons leading to another frontier akin the American Wild West, although the attire is more thermal clothing and snow shoes than Stetsons.

2099- AIs are granted personhood on Mars. On Earth they remain simply objects no different from a TV or Lamp.

2103- A Synthetic becomes a full officer in the MSS.

2110- Terrorist attacks are seemingly on the rise. There are multiple threats including Synthetic separatists, Organised Criminals, Earth First groups, small City State interest groups, People Traffickers to mention a few.

2112- The Events of Midnight Run.

Samsung, LG, Philips and other TV makers fined $1.9 billion for EU price fixing

Some of the biggest TV manufacturers have been slapped with a $1.92 billion fine by the EU after regulators found the gang had been fixing prices of cathode-ray tubes for more than 20 years. Competition chief Joaquin Alumunia said that the group were acting as a cartel, featuring "all the worst kinds of anti-competitive behavior that are strictly forbidden [...] in Europe." Philips ate the biggest fine, having to pay $411 million, while LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba and Technicolor all coughed up between $386 million and $36 million. It follows an investigation which began in 2007 -- just when we all fell out of love with the old-fashioned technical standard.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is showcasing a northern Virginia family to highlight his call for extending current tax rates to all but the top 2 percent of earners.

Obama wants to keep up pressure on Republicans as a year-end deadline for avoiding a so-called fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts draws near. He will travel to a Virginia suburb of Washington on Thursday.

Obama spoke with Republican House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday, signaling the possible start of fresh talks to avoid the fiscal cliff.

Despite the entreaty, Obama was not cutting back on a public campaign to pressure Republicans into accepting rate hikes for wealthier Americans. Republicans say they are willing to raise revenues but want to do it by closing loopholes and limiting deductions on the rich.

Begins Nov.12.

Human footsteps

Narrated by Josh Brolin, the series, launching Nov. 13 at 9 p.m., traces the invention of fire, community building, farming, written language, and industry. Future episodes look at the sacking of Rome, the Industrial Age, space exploration, and the human body.

FOGERTY & CO.

If ever pop music was created to sound awesome in a car, it was CCR's. Short, snappy, rocking singles like "Proud Mary," "Down on the Corner," and "Bad Moon Rising" blasted from radios coast to coast in the late 1960s and early '70s. And you know what? Their music holds up and still rocks, big time. The Ultimate Creedence Clearwater Revival is a comprehensive compilation on three CDs.

Geffen launched many baby boomer generation icons such as Laura Nyro; Crosby, Stills and Nash; The Eagles; and Jackson Browne. The profile of a Brooklyn high school graduate-turned-billionaire philanthropist airs Nov. 20.

Why religious beliefs should not infringe on school curriculum ...

November 9, 2012 ????? 0 Comments

?

BY?Pradip Rodrigues

Recently a forwarded piece of mail was accidentally sent to this newspaper, I figured it out after I called the sender who was baffled. He told me it was a private email that was definitely not supposed to be sent to a newspaper office of all places. The email contained two attachments, one pertaining to Bill 13, which amends Ontario?s Education Act with respect to bullying. And the other was a downloadable letter parents could sign and send to their child?s school.
Now Bill 13 is controversial because several faith-based religious groups have resisted it based on the fact that the subjects dealt with are contrary to their religious and moral values. So what exactly is this Bill 13 that seems to have stirred a hornet?s nest. Following cases of bullying and growing intolerance toward LGBTTIQ (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirited, intersex, queer and questioning) people. The Bill introduced by the McGuinty government passed earlier this year is intended to ensure school-going students have the knowledge, skills, attitude and values to engage in the world and importantly, making their schools and communities more tolerant for all people.
The forwarded email had a downloadable letter titled- Our Family?s Traditional Values Letter for parents who wished their children excused from discussions and classes that dealt with subjects like sex education, environmentalism, moral relativism and situational ethics. The reason being that these were sensitive subjects and the position held by a secular society clashed with their conservative religious values.
Thousands of conservative students all across Ontario and more specifically the GTA are routinely pulled out of classes that their parents deem inappropriate . In some schools a significant number of students are excused from attending following notes from their parents. Looked at in another way, this well could be another form of censorship?restricting a child?s access to information being discussed logically in a classroom. This is not to say that the children will feed their heightened curiosity by simply looking it up on the Internet.
I met a conservative Muslim mother recently who was vehemently opposed to any teachings about gays and lesbians because to her it was wrong and unnatural and the way the schools were teaching the subjects tended to lend legitimacy to the subject.I wonder how this parents will explain to her child that in 2012, it is quite okay for a child to have two mothers?
On an online blog, one South Asian parent actually went on to suggest that since pre-marital sex was not an option for South Asian children, attending a sex education class was quite unnecessary. My research for this piece led me to an abortion clinic near Trillium hospital in Mississauga. On that particular afternoon, there were women from all races, 50 percent of the women seeking abortions were non-White, one girl, who I suspected could be no more than 19-years-old was there with her boyfriend, she was obviously in some school for sure, she even had books with her and one more thing, she wore a hijab. I so wish some of these parents who are under the mistaken belief that their children do not need to attend sex education classes saw what I saw. How many of these conservative girls and boys missed those classes because their parents thought it clashed with their religion and values?
As a parent, I teach my child values, but that doesn?t mean I will shield him from a discussion at school on any issue regardless of how I feel about it. For example, my Grade 2 son startled me last year when he told me that men can get married to men, apparently a boy in his class mentioned it to him. When it is time for the school to have a talk on the issue, I will be quite happy to have him sit in there and understand the issue as well as every other issue that will help make him a better and more tolerant individual.
If more and more children are kept away from free and frank discussions on sensitive issues, we risk a return to the dark ages. It is okay for families to privately believe God created earth or that aliens were behind it. But a classroom is probably the only sane place where all viewpoints can be aired, discussed and debated so that everyone has a broad understanding of life in the 21st century.
It isn?t just the separation of Church and State that needs to be enforced but the separation of Church and School.

Should next president treat Russia as friend or foe?

Jason Reed / Reuters, file

President Barack Obama shakes hands with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Los Cabos, Mexico, on June 18. In the past six months, while supplying arms and support to Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime, Putin has shut down a U.S. government program inside Russia that dismantled its obsolete nuclear weapons, and restricted USAID's operations there.

News analysis

LONDON -- One thing is clear: whether it's President Barack Obama or President Mitt Romney, dealing with Russia will be on his "must do" list.

The "sleeping bear" has been pretty restless lately: it has vetoed U.N. Security Council resolutions on Syria and blocked U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to end the civil war there; it has refused to pressure Tehran, even though it helped build Iran's nuclear enrichment program; and relentless push-back by Russian President Vladimir Putin against basing a missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic ? both former Soviet satellite states ? has left those two NATO members exposed and nervous.

But figuring out what to do about Russia first means defining who exactly Russia is. Is it, as Romney submits, America's "number one geopolitical foe"? Or, as Obama seems to believe, is Russia a post-Cold War rival with whom we can do business?

Let's step back a little here. Certainly, after the fall of the Soviet Union, relations with Russia under President Boris Yeltsin were more benign. Remember all the guffawing and back-slapping between Yeltsin and President Bill Clinton?

President Bill Clinton laughs with Russian Federation President Boris Yeltsin during a press conference on October 23, 1995.

Unfortunately, all that good cheer soon turned into a humiliating debacle. Yeltsin was often intoxicated. He launched two disastrous wars in Chechnya, and became a laughingstock as his economy tanked and rich "oligarchs" divvied up the nation's wealth.

Then came Putin ? the former KGB agent who heavy-handedly stopped the hemorrhaging. He re-established Kremlin control over oil and gas, and as oil prices tripled he pumped billions of petro-dollars into his military and, as importantly, into the salaries and pensions of Russian voters.

'An equal'
His popularity skyrocketed; and it was time for the West to take heed. At a Munich security conference in 2007, Putin threw down the gauntlet. He accused the United States ? under President George W. Bush ??of a murderous policy of global domination and said Russia had the weapons to "neutralize" any missile defense near its borders.

It was not a declaration of war, but it was a turning point ??from an America-friendly?to a confrontational Russia. "Russia was back," Fyodor Lukyanov, managing editor of Russia in Global Affairs, told me. "That was the message ??we have the resources. You need the resources, and you need to treat Russia with respect. As an equal."

And the chill began to thaw. Dmitry Medvedev succeeded Putin as Russian president and seemed more open and Western-minded than his mentor.

President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney discuss foreign policy in the third and final presidential debate.

He and his counterpart, Barack Obama, agreed to "reset" relations, hoping that the rebooting would clear all the static. Soon, both sides came together on transporting supplies for U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan across Russian territory; cooperation in areas like counter-terrorism and narcotics interdiction increased; Medvedev even championed some political reforms that would have guaranteed the emergence of a real opposition. That is, until Putin retook the presidency last May. Since then, he's rolled back all the reforms, and seems to have "re-reset" U.S.-Russian relations to the days of the Cold War.

Russia warns Obama's 'reset' in relations 'cannot last forever'

Putin is turning the screws, and not just by dramatic moves, like imprisoning members of the female punk group, Pussy Riot, on charges of blasphemy for having performed an anti-Putin song in a Moscow church.

Members of the band Pussy Riot, arrested in February after storming a Moscow cathedral, were sentenced to two years in jail Friday. Critics say the arrest was Putin's personal revenge, raising questions about justice in Russia. NBC's Duncan Golestani reports.

"A pale of repression is settling over the country," wrote Ariel Cohen of the Heritage Foundation in a recent New York Times editorial. "This crackdown is wrapped in legislative garb, but the iron grip of authoritarianism is unmistakable."

New laws now slap pro-democracy protesters with large fines for "illegal assembly." One protest leader ? Sergei Udaltsov, the head of the Left Front ? has been charged with "plotting riots" and could spend 10 years in jail.

Anti-Putin activists pay high price, but refuse to back down

Others may follow ??the courts have just expanded the meaning of "high treason" to include the sharing of information with any foreign non-governmental organization. In addition, NGOs which get funding from abroad must now register as "foreign agents," echoing the days of Cold War espionage.

And even as our presidential candidates debate whether Russia is a friend or enemy, there seems little doubt that Putin himself sees America as a looming geopolitical target. In the past six months alone, while supplying arms and support to Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime, Putin has shut down a U.S. government program inside Russia that dismantled its obsolete nuclear weapons; he's closed the UNICEF offices, and restricted USAID's operations there.

Russia tells US: We don't' want your aid money

As his anti-American policies multiply, it's small wonder that in a recent national poll, Russians were seriously divided on whether they loved America?or hated it (46 percent to 38 percent, respectively).

Conservatives like Cohen are frustrated. While Putin turns Russia into a "fortress," they say, the Obama administration keeps offering up carrots, like gaining Russia access to the World Trade Organization.

Vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan praised running-mate Mitt Romney's foreign policy stances at the last presidential debate, telling TODAY's Savannah Guthrie that the GOP candidate did a "fantastic" job of spelling out his doctrine.

They claim the reset just hasn't worked.

"America should pursue its national interests in relations with Moscow, instead of pursuing a feel-good mirage," Cohen wrote.

'Putinization' spreading in Europe, US group warns

President Romney says he would stand up to Russia and talk tough about human-rights abuses. But it's less clear just how a 2nd term Obama presidency would deal with Putin's Russia.

Putin himself has said that he'd rather work with Obama than with the "misled" Romney. That's understandable ? on Obama's watch, Putin has succeeded in cracking down on civic dissent at home and building the world's largest publicly-traded oil company ? Rosneft.

Russia's Putin: Romney 'mistaken,' Obama 'honest'

Some Russia analysts are calling strategic energy reserves Putin's "new Red Army" ??the Kremlin now controls some 25 percent of Europe's, including European NATO members', energy needs.

But does all of that make Russia an enemy, like al-Qaida or Iran? Hardly. Still, it probably means that the next U.S. president is going to have to take off the gloves in dealing with it.

"Putin's understanding of international affairs comes down to a fight for power and prestige," says Lukyanov.

And Putin seems intent on using that power and prestige to counter U.S. influence around the globe, even as he turns Russia back into a police state.

Vice President Joe Biden ?reacts to President Obama's performance in the third and last debate, noting the president has demonstrated the "grasp and a gravity" of foreign policy.

The columnist John Vinocur recently suggested that, if re-elected, Obama should "stand up with protesting Russians the next time they fill Moscow's streets."

But how many protesters ? and their leaders ??will be languishing in jail by then?
