TIDBITS® LOOKS AT THE INGENUITY OF

INVENTORSby Kathy Wolfe

We all know about Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, but what about some of the more unfamiliar people whose resourcefulness resulted in some pretty clever devices? This week, Tidbits looks at a just a few of those folks.

•ACanadian inventor,HarryWasylyk,hailingfrom Winnipeg, Manitoba, is responsiblefor the invention of the disposable greenpolyethylene garbage bag. He started hisoperation in his kitchen in 1950, intendingthem for commercial use only, rather than for ordinary consumers. His first customer wastheWinnipegGeneralHospital.HeteamedupwithanemployeeofanOntarioUnionCarbideplant, Larry Hanson, and the pair sold theirinvention to Union Carbide, who marketedthem for home use under the name “Glad.”

• Thomas Jefferson wore many hats over thecourse of his lifetime — lawyer, statesman, architect,agronomist,linguist,naturalist.Thisthird President of the United States also penned the Declaration of Independence. In addition tohismanypoliticalactivities,Jeffersonwasalso the inventor of the swivel chair, a plow, aportable copyingpress, amacaroni-makingmachine, and mechanical dumbwaiters that enabled his servants to send wine bottles from thecellartothediningroomatMonticello.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

•On Feb. 25, 1873, Enrico Caruso, the greatest tenor who ever lived, is born. After making New York's Metropolitan Opera his home base in 1904, Caruso recorded scores of arias of three- and four-minutes in length -- the longest duration that could fit on a 78 rpm record.

• On Feb. 26, 1919, more than 800,000 acres of the Grand Canyon is established as a national park. The Grand Canyon is the product of millions of years of excavation by the mighty Colorado River. The chasm is exceptionally deep --

dropping more than a mile into the earth -- and is 15 miles across at its widest point.

• On Feb. 21, 1927, humorist Erma Bombeck is born in Dayton, Ohio. Her first book, "At Wit's End" (1967), comprised a collection of her columns. Among her many other popular books were "The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank" (1976) and "If Life Is a Bowl Of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits?" (1978).

• On Feb. 27, 1934, auto-safety advocate and activist Ralph Nader is born in Winsted, Conn. Nader's 1965 book "Unsafe at Any Speed" criticized the auto industry for poor safety standards, and ultimately led to various reforms.

• On Feb. 23, 1958, five-time Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina is kidnapped in Cuba by a group of Fidel Castro's rebels. He was released unharmed several hours after the Cuba Grand Prix.

• On Feb. 24, 1969, after a North Vietnamese mortar shell rocks their Douglas AC-47 gunship, Airman First Class John L. Levitow throws himself on an activated flare and tosses it out of the aircraft just before it ignites. For saving his fellow crewmembers and the gunship, Airman Levitow was awarded the Medal of Honor.

• On Feb. 22, 1990, the Best New Artist Grammy is awarded to Milli Vanilli. Months later, German record-producer Frank Farian revealed that he had put the names and faces of the talentless Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan on the dance records he was creating using real musicians. Four days later, Milli Vanilli's Grammy award was withdrawn.

• As aMinnesotamanufacturingplantworkerduring the World War I era, Charles Stritepartook of his meals in the plant cafeteria. After being served burned toast countlesstimes, he devised a machine that would turn off the heat and pop up the bread when the toast was done. Although General Electrichad already marketed a toaster in 1909, their model only toasted one side at a time and had tobemanuallyturnedoff.Striteaddedspringsand a timer to his appliance and patented his “Toastmaster.” His later models added alightnessanddarknesslever.

• While Swiss chemist and textile engineerJacques Brandenberger was seated in arestaurant in theearly1900s,aglassofwinewas spilled on the tablecloth. As the chemist watched the waiter replace the cloth, an idea occurred to him — a transparent, protective filmthatwouldmakeclothwaterproof.Aftermany experiments, he came up with what we knowtodayascellophane.Thefirstcompanyto use cellophane in the United States was the Whitman’s candy company, which wrapped its fine chocolates in the film. Brandenberger’spatent rights were later sold to the Dupontcompany.In1912,healsobeganmanufacturingaclear,thinfilmusedinmakinggasmasks.

Beatrix Potter wrote The Tale of Peter Rabbit as a “picture letter” to a sick child in 1893, telling the story and illustrating it with pen and ink drawings. She sold 450 copies herself before it was published in 1902 with an initial printing of 8,000 books. It has never been out of print. Beatrix lived in the Lake District of England and left 4,000 acres (1619 ha), including 15 farms, to The National Trust, a conservation charity.

Inventions that should have stayed un-invented: the left handed pencil, clear correction fluid, the black highlighter, waterproof tea bags, a Braille driving manual, a wooden barbecue and air conditioning for a motorcycle.

Otto Rohwedder, who invented the machine that sliced and wrapped bread, was first an ophthalmologist, then an owner of three jewelry stores. His first slicing machine was sold to Missouri’s Chillicothe Baking Company in 1928. One of original slicing machines can be viewed at Washington, D.C.’s Smithsonian Institute.

Don't Get Sidejacked

It's bad enough that we can walk through a mall or airport, pass someone carrying a tiny scanner and have our credit-card information stolen. Now we learn that our laptops aren't always secure either.First, two definitions:Sidejacking -- snagging data out of the air as it travels from one point to another on a wireless connection. Firesheep -- the program developed to grab data out of thin air in sidejacking. Hackers can follow you around the Internet and see what you see, see what you type in, and in the worst insult, can imitate you.The easiest place for this to happen is at an unsecured Wireless Internet (WiFi) location, such as a cafe that

asks users to sign in with the same password. Your data flows across the air, and with the click of the mouse, a hacker can grab your user credentials and impersonate you online. If you tend to open your social

networking sites and leave them open, you're inviting trouble. It doesn't take much for a hacker to stroll through your friends' pages and pretend to be you.FoxBusiness.com recommends a few ways to stay safe:¥ Don't e-mail personal data, period. Your Social Security number, if typed in on a form, can be grabbed. Your credit-card information, if typed into e-mail, can be grabbed. ¥ Use an e-mail website that encrypts data, such as Gmail. Look for a padlock icon on the browser's address bar.¥ Keep the security updates current on all your gear.¥ Beware the websites you visit. The usual virus protection warnings apply, of course, but especially in a Wi-Fi environment. Take one

Trojan horse, add in a sidejack and before you finish your latte, someone's got your bank account number in his greedy hands.¥ Invest in a wireless card for some, but not complete, safety.Oddly enough, your biggest danger might be from hackers around the world rather than someone near you.Idea: Keep a netbook computer to use when you're out. Use it for casual e-mails and checking websites other than your social networking sites. Don't go anywhere you need to put in a password or enter any personal data.Investigate a program called BlackSheep, which can expose uses of Firesheep around you. Or look for HTTPS Everywhere to block a hacker from monitoring your web use.
