Cooking Invention To Provide Greater Freedom For Millions Of Women: The Rotimatic
Posted in: Today's Chili
Serving delicious roti fresh and warm at dinner time takes hours of tedious work,
performed mostly by women, in India, Pakistan, and many other south Asian and African countries
every day. So, it’s no surprise that inventor Pranoti Nagarkar believes
that the impact of her Rotimatic roti maker will be on a par with the vacuum
cleaner, the washing machine, and the contraceptive pill in terms of providing freedom for women!

Today is Ada Lovelace Day, and it’s an opportunity to raise the awareness of the contribution that extraordinary women have brought to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ada Lovelace is an English female Mathematician that is usually credited for coming up with the first algorithm that was to be processed by a mechanical computer called the Analytical Engine. Because of that, she has been widely seen as the first “computer programmer”.
The Anita Borg Institute and Symantec came up with this interesting info graphic that shows key accomplishments from brilliant women over the decades. I knew some of them as they are related to computer science, but for example, I had never heard of Stephanie Kwolek who came up with Kevlar, a material that is typically associated with “tough” activities such as car racing and the military.

Just about all girls get frustrated at some point in their lives when they are told that they can’t do something because it is only for boys. While the issue has been getting better over the past few decades, girls still hear this message coming at them in so many ways. One is in the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. While a fun story overall, the girls are sidelined. A project seeking funding on Kickstarter proposes the story of Rosie the Reindeer to show that girls really can do anything.

Choosing a mate isn’t as simple as shopping for a new pair of jeans
(which is a task that many women dread, so we can’t underestimate the
complexity of jean shopping). But one bold, international company wants
women to select a man by browsing the available options in a store using
a process that’s not unlike shopping for denim. Except that you’ve got
to try your selections on for size after you take them home.

Not every girl can have her fairy tale ending, but every girl can have a pair of shoes that were inspired from stories that had happily-ever-after endings.
Designer Charlotte Olympia’s line for her Fall 2013 collection is aptly called “Once Upon a Time,” no doubt in reference to the classic tales that inspired her designs. From princessy pumps to more casual but still girly loafers, it seems like Charlotte’s got most bases covered.
Unfortunately, only women with royally loaded wallets can afford these designer shoes, considering a pair of shoes from Charlotte’s line normally costs several hundreds of dollars.
But still, it doesn’t hurt to admire and dream, right? I’ve got my eye on yellow sandals with the bejeweled crown. What’s your favorite?

Scarves keep you all snug and bundled up when the winds are a-blowing, but what about when it rains? You can wrap it around and over your head, but you’ll still get soaked through. That is, unless you have a RainScarf.
First and foremost, the RainScarf is a scarf. But when it rains, you can also quickly transform it into a hoodie of sorts. Just remove it from your neck and flip it inside out from either end. And voilà!
You’ve got a hoodie you can wear and something waterproof to cover yourself with while you run to find some shelter.
The RainScarf is available in pink gem and slate gray, so there’s one for the girls and one for the guys (but remember: real men wear pink.) It’s currently up for funding on Kickstarter through November 8th, where a minimum pledge of $24(USD) will get you one of your very own.

You may just need a pair of Tip Flops.
