New style of meeting room - 18Jun14Thu

New style of meeting room   . (A meeting room based on school class room) Version: 180614Th . When, a few decades ago, I first time entered meeting room with a long table and a lot of chairs beside/around it, I was amazed. After that I saw that type of meeting room a lot of times but only on TV. Every time I saw that kind of room on tv I noticed a problem. And that problem was that in almost all photos or videos meeting members sitting beside table were trying to bend forward or backward to get a better view of the object of interest (either main person of meeting sitting on one of narrow sides of table or some projector screen placed on other side). Therefore this problem was mainly responsible for making it difficult for meeting members sitting on chairs farther than their chair from object of interest (either main person of meeting or some projector screen) to have a proper view of main person of meeting. In some other situation meeting members were seen simply looking at the person sitting on the opposite side of the table "Some times having view of their dreams". . So I started to think on that problem from that time. . At start idea was to have a meeting room like a simple school class room. With main person of meeting, with his helpers, sitting on one side of room were teacher sit/stand and other meeting members sitting on other side like students of class. But a problem of this arrangement was how to make perfect arrangement for both groups. So that irrespective of number of members in both group meeting room serve it's purpose correctly. For example if room's total capacity is 100 person and if there are (a) 50/50 (b) 10/90 (c) 90/10 (d) 'n/m' members in both groups. Than how can room serve it’s purpose without major rearrangement of seats etc. . Now I do not know how and when but I did make an idea to solve that problem. May be my brain kept thinking and mixed different things together. . So I reached on an idea of a meeting-room with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling mirror installed on it's one wall (Front wall). And all seats installed in front of this wall on stair like floor, so that members sitting on any seat can have proper view of the front wall. In this arrangement all persons involved in meeting will be able to see any other member during meeting without any problem. . And after some time, may be years, that idea improved. In this idea simple mirror was replaced with special kind of mirror called screen now, opaque from inside of meeting room and transparent from other/opposite side of screen. From inside meeting room this screen will act like a TV/cinema like screen. On other side will be another room with camera, computers and other useful gadgets. It will be up to meeting members to view themselves on screen like in previous version or view some presentation or some video or mix of these all in any combination or view nothing at all on screen. . If there are any mistakes then I will surely remove them whenever found. .

Pakistan international highway - 180217Sa

Pakistan International Highway - PIH (Pakistan's proposed international level highway) . While watching travel videos, reading travel blogs and thinking and researching on highways in Pakistan and creating multilevel highway system for Pakistan in my mind an idea visited my mind to have an another type of highway called 'Pakistan International Highway' to connect Pakistan's neighboring countries with each-other via Pakistan. Before I give details of idea first look at the map of Pakistan as shown in "Fig: 1". On one side of Pakistan is sea and on other sides are four countries. Through PIH we will connect all 4 neighboring countries and sea with each other. . Now look at the abstract map of Pakistan as shown in "Fig: 2" I made to make things easy to make. On one side of Pakistan is sea and on other sides are four countries. . During process of understanding think Pakistan looks like a pentagon. A pentagon with a circle (cyan circle) in it's center and 5 other circles (black circles) one each on middle of it's each sides. All circles on center of pentagon's sides connected to the circle on pentagon's center. Black circles on the sides of pentagon are international exit/entry check-points on the border. Cyan circle in the middle of pentagon is highway intersection, connecting all PIH sections 'sub-highways' together. Now transform Pakistan's pentagon like abstract map  to the actual map of Pakistan and PIH will adjust according to this transformation also. Result will be actual highway on actual map. As simple as it is. People with valid documents eg passport/visa(a kind of transit visa) etc will enter from one check-point and exit from other check-point without getting out of this highway system. There will be enough basic amenities like hotels, camping sites and petrol pumps etc beside this highway system to make sure there will be no need for highway users to get out of highway system. People with normal visa will be able to get out of highway system and re enter at specified/allowed points. I made different ideas at different times about how this highway will be made: First idea was to make this highway entirely as an underground highway. This was looking very secure but highly expensive idea. Second idea was to make this highway as a bridge throughout it's length and cover it in an iron cage on it's left, right and top throughout it's length. This was also secure and expensive idea. Third idea was to make this highway by utilizing already existing highways and roads. This was less secure and more cheap idea. Fourth idea was to make this highway based on conveyor belt. This was also expensive and complicated idea with interesting possibilities. Fifth, and last so far, idea was to make this highway of totally new roads with basic amenity centers beside it through out it's length. Irrespective of it's cost, so far this looks good/best to me. All vehicles using PIH will need to have GPS system installed and enabled and running on them so that their current location can be known to PIH authority through out journey. PIH users will need to pay some fees as per their use of PIH. Plus basic amenities beside PIH will not be for free either. PIH users will also need international standard driving license and travel insurance for using PIH. . If there are any mistakes then I will surely remove them whenever found. .
