I have always been physically active and enjoyed running, biking and aerobics but knew nothing about weight training. I'd always wanted to venture into the weight room at my gym because I knew that weight training would help me change my body composition, which is what I really wanted. A lack of confidence and little knowledge about weights or how to set up an effective training routine kept me in the so-called 'safer' areas of the gym – the aerobics room and the cardio machines. That's where Erik's knowledge came into play. He helped me with a sound nutritional program and effective weight training routine and my physique began to change. He taught me about proper form, along with the sets, reps and rest intervals for all my exercises. I now have the confidence to venture into the weight room and spend much less time on the cardio machines and I'm more than pleased with the results. I'm heading into my 40's and have two children and now have the physique I've always dreamed about.


The corporate culture that we have possesses more value than all the assets and capital of Polimeks Holding combined because this culture embodies the faith, support and love of the people who work together have for each other. Our employees in Turkey and at various locations around the world feel that they share the same spirit and that they are embraced under the same roof.
What makes our employees feel so reliant is the team spirit that diffuses from top to bottom that persists since the seeds of Polimeks were planted. The energy projected by our founders who are connected to each other with a close friendship since they were children has taught the entire corporation the value of being a strong team, has set an example for all the employees from top to bottom.
Underlying our understanding of human resources are sincerity, understanding, valuing and appreciating outstanding qualifications. We support this with a balanced and responsible management system. Our "right person for the right job" philosophy is also effective in the proper canalizing of resources.

I feel you, man. Even from the GM's perspective, the players seem to want to be led down a defined story arc.
I have always run my games with a base plot in my mind, but no great detail. My plot usually has an end-game in mind, but is subject to the players twisting of the story. My belief has always been that the players should write the story. Their actions dictate the direction of the game, not my plot.
I have lost players in the last few years, and I suspect it's because of my open style of game. I wasn't telling them a good enough story is the vague sentiment I felt. How can I convey to them that it is they who should be telling the story, not me?
I think the reason I love your games so much is because they have the right mix of detail, and hooks, that do, indeed, stoke my imagination.
Ok! Back! It's all about the tyranny of the designer, Bill. Many gamers have no clue what to do if the designer doesn't tell them. WTF? Dude, screw you! The more they act like this, the more I give them tools. I LOVE Roma, BECAUSE it doesn't lay it all out for me. It gives some signpost to aid in navigation, and then lets me go where I feel like going. That utterly rocks!
Thanks guys. I mean, it just gets to me some times. You know me, I am a big proponent of include everyone. I am not saying these people should be ridden out on a rail but more a case that I really would like them to rise up to meet the challenge. And like I said, maybe it is just the people I have been around of late.

Cisco Reports Critical IP Phone Vulnerability
As a business owner, it's important to stay informed about potential vulnerabilities that could impact your organization. Recently, Cisco reported a critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-20968, affecting its IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series.
This new vulnerability is caused by inadequate input validation of packets using the Cisco Discovery Protocol. In other words, a threat actor could take advantage of this flaw by sending specially made Cisco Discovery Protocol traffic to a vulnerable device. If successful, the threat actor could cause a stack overflow, leading to a possible denial of service (DoS) condition or remote code execution on the affected device.
Unfortunately, there is currently no security update or workaround available to address the CVE-2022-20968 vulnerability. However, Cisco has provided mitigation guidance for business owners who wish to protect their vulnerable devices from attacks.
Cisco recommends disabling Cisco Discovery Protocol on IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series devices and enabling Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for neighbor discovery to mitigate this vulnerability. It is crucial that business owners carefully assess the potential impact on their devices and determine the best way to implement this change.
It's worth noting that this mitigation is only available for devices that support LLDP for neighbor discovery. If you are using affected devices, you must take the necessary steps to protect your organization from this vulnerability. This may require some diligence on your part, but it is worth it to ensure the security of your business.

Home Climate Change Wind and solar power could meet four-fifths of US electricity demand
Wind and solar power could meet four-fifths of US electricity demand
Wind and solar power could meet four fifths of US electricity demand
The United States could reliably meet about 80 percent of its electricity demand with solar and wind power generation, according to scientists at the University of California, Irvine; the California Institute of Technology; and the Carnegie Institution for Science.
However, meeting 100 percent of electricity demand with only solar and wind energy would require storing several weeks' worth of electricity to compensate for the natural variability of these two resources, the researchers said.
"The sun sets, and the wind doesn't always blow," noted Steven Davis, UCI associate professor of Earth system science and co-author of a renewable energy study published today in the journal Energy & Environmental Science. "If we want a reliable power system based on these resources, how do we deal with their daily and seasonal changes?"
The team analyzed 36 years of hourly U.S. weather data (1980 to 2015) to understand the fundamental geophysical barriers to supplying electricity with only solar and wind energy.
"We looked at the variability of solar and wind energy over both time and space and compared that to U.S. electricity demand," Davis said. "What we found is that we could reliably get around 80 percent of our electricity from these sources by building either a continental-scale transmission network or facilities that could store 12 hours' worth of the nation's electricity demand."
The researchers said that such expansion of transmission or storage capabilities would mean very substantial — but not inconceivable — investments. They estimated that the cost of the new transmission lines required, for example, could be hundreds of billions of dollars. In comparison, storing that much electricity with today's cheapest batteries would likely cost more than a trillion dollars, although prices are falling.
Other forms of energy stockpiling, such as pumping water uphill to later flow back down through hydropower generators, are attractive but limited in scope. The U.S. has a lot of water in the East but not much elevation, with the opposite arrangement in the West.
Fossil fuel-based electricity production is responsible for about 38 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions — CO2 pollution being the major cause of global climate change. Davis said he is heartened by the progress that has been made and the prospects for the future.
"The fact that we could get 80 percent of our power from wind and solar alone is really encouraging," he said. "Five years ago, many people doubted that these resources could account for more than 20 or 30 percent."
But beyond the 80 percent mark, the amount of energy storage required to overcome seasonal and weather variabilities increases rapidly. "Our work indicates that low-carbon-emission power sources will be needed to complement what we can harvest from the wind and sun until storage and transmission capabilities are up to the job," said co-author Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution for Science. "Options could include nuclear and hydroelectric power generation, as well as managing demand."

We continued with our SuperSummerSeniorSnaps with a visit from from none other than old friend of Otis & James, the lovely and talented Heather! I say 'old friend', because we have had the good pleasure of working with her before, and because her older sis was one of the very first peeps to have their SeniorPics taken by good ol' O&J. So she's family…la familia! That's I-talian for 'Family', in case you were wonderin'.
So, just because we've worked with her before (and she rocked then), and her older sis was the originator of the O&J rock, this by no means means (too many means, but I don't know how else to do it, so just bear with me) a guarantee that our time together was going to be one that was filled with tons of awesome snaps. Well, should I leave all of you out there in suspense, or should I let you know what the verdict was…suspense…suspense…drama…intrigue…and the verdict is…not good, but we're talkin' totally awesome!
Let me be clear with you on that, she was totally freakin' awesome! We had a great time during our short stay with Heather, and we would like to thank her for being such a treat. Hip Hip – Enjoy!
Hey hey my same last named amiga… your pics are awesome!

Is There Another Advanced Civilization Living Beneath Our Feet?
Rid 7:00:00 AM Conspiracy
As science and science fiction join, we begin to decipher the ancient mysteries of the human experience. If entities exist under the surface of our planet, they would not live in volcanic rock but in advanced spaceships meant to generate essential life habitat. Are tectonic plate shifts an act of their doing, or a truly natural part of earth?
Theories about the Hollow Earth usually include a central sun, aliens, and legendary subterranean cities and civilizations that some open minded people believe could link science and pseudoscience, but only if discovered physically. In ancient times, this idea of subterranean realms seemed arguable, and it became associated with the image of "places" such as the Christian Hell, the Greek Hades, the Jewish Sheol or the Nordic belief of Svartalfheim.
However in modern times, with both sides of the Arctic and Antarctic regions melting down at an accelerated rate, the truth behind this enigma and its allegorical connections to other genesis or creation myths in the tale of humanity's journey on planet Earth could soon be revealed.
According to the Hollow Earth theory, our planet is either fully hollow or otherwise contains a massive interior space. There are allegedly races that live in underground cities beneath planet Earth. Often enough, these dwellers of the underground are more technologically advanced than we humans are on the surface. Some think that UFO's are not from other planets, but are fabricated by strange beings from the inside of our planet.
Throughout time, some people have claimed that they encountered these mysterious beings from the ground, some even wrote detailed reports of the meetings or even books regarding the way they were greeted and taught.
An interesting description of such an encounter comes from John Cleves Symmes Jr, an American officer, trader and lecturer who introduced the concept of openings to the inner world of the poles. He declared that:
The Earth is hollow, and habitable within; containing a number of solid concentric spheres, one within the other, and that it is open at the poles 12 or 16 degrees; I pledged my life in support of this truth, and I am ready to explore the hollow, if the world will support and aid me in the undertaking.
Symmes' Hollow Earth theory described the world as consisting of five concentric spheres, with our outer earth and its atmosphere as the largest. He saw the Earth's crust as being around 1000 miles thick, having an Arctic opening about 4000 miles wide, and an Antarctic opening measuring around 6000 miles wide. He suggested that he managed to enter this underground realm because the curvature of the rim of the polar openings were gradual enough that it would be possible to enter the Inner Earth without being aware of the passage. He stated that because of the centrifugal force of Earth's rotation, the planet would be flattened at the poles, and thus have ample passage into the Inner Earth.
Symmes also claimed that this inner surface of the concentric spheres in his Hollow Earth would be lit by sunlight reflected off of the outer surface of the next sphere and would be livable, being a "warm and rich land, stocked with thrifty vegetables and animals if not men." He ultimately concluded that the Earth, as well as every celestial orbicular body that existed in the universe, visible or invisible, which partook in any degree of a planetary type, from the smallest to the greatest, are all established, in a greater or lesser degree, in a compilation of spheres.
Symmes wasn't the best lecturer. He felt uncomfortable as a public speaker. Still, he preserved. He started making disciples and soon his ideas began to take shape into the public's minds. The book Symzonia appeared in 1820 and has often been associated with him. It describes the voyage of Captain Seaborn from 1817 who set out for the South Pole in order to prove the theory of an internal world, published by Captain John Cleve Symmes. Afraid of the attitude of his crew, he does not fully inform them of his desire, hiring them rather for a commercial journey in the South Seas. The crew discover the internal continent, which is named Symzonia in honor of Symmes.
The new world appears to be of a garden paradise, consisting of:
[…] gently rolling hills within an easy sloping shore, covered with verdure, checkered with groves of trees and shrubbery, studded with numerous white buildings and animated with groups of men and cattle, all standing in relief near the foot of a lofty mountain, which in the distance reared its majestic head above the clouds.
The internals are described as a peaceful race, their power emanating from the people. They were led by a "Best Man" and a council of one hundred, elected for their modest and exemplary merit. The most fundamental characteristic of the internals was their simple life style, as they despised material gain and sensual pleasures.
They lived equally, without the desire for wealth or carnal pleasures, while producing only what is needed for the society. The society is described as living for the unified good and prosperity of all of their people. This fairness applied even to their diet, for they were vegetarians. Because of the contrast between the principles and values of the two races, the "Best Man" orders Seaborn to leave this paradise inside the Earth, along with his crew, as described:
It appeared that we were of a race who had either wholly fallen from virtue, or were at least very much under the influence of the worst passions of our nature.
Even though Symmes and his disciples were not able to reveal completely palpable evidence for their claims, there must be more than a grain of truth in it as countless people experience visions of this inner place and gain some kind of spiritual guidance towards it.
In our current state of understanding, we realize that planet Earth holds a lot of mysteries waiting to be uncovered. The earth is said to be almost eight thousand miles in diameter, and the deepest excavations ever attempted only reached half a mile below its surface. We are, therefore, extremely ignorant of the nature and structure of the interior of this vast mass the earth holds and might remain so unless those intraterrestrial beings decide to make the first step towards us.
When will they break the ice and uncover the truth?

Rotimatic And Friends – Kitchen Robots Changing Lives
Technology has made its way into our kitchens giving us handy robots to make exploring culinary skills like never before!
Appliances are the heart of any kitchen and having smart appliances work together to form a very efficient ecosystem. Modern kitchen machines take up little space, but some are real all-rounders. What had to be done with a lot of effort in Grandma's day is done in no time by today's kitchen machines.
They knead, stir, mix and can do much more with their extensive range of accessories. And some of the kitchen machines can even cook. We would like to show you some of the coolest of these, how they work, what the effective household helpers can do, and what advantages they offer to users.
1. Rotimatic
This countertop kitchen robot by Zimplistic is a fully automatic rotimaker that uses Artificial Intelligence to give you fresh and nutritious unleavened flatbread. It automates the multi-layered process of mixing dry and wet ingredients, kneading dough to optimum consistency, rolling it into flat discs, and then roasting it till puffs and attains a lovely golden brown color – all under 90 seconds. Inside its 40 x 40 centimeter body, a 32-bit microprocessor controls 10 motors, 15 sensors, and 200 moving parts. Users can set the number of rotis in a batch, its oil content, thickness, and level of roasting. Its possibly the easiest way existing to make rotis, puris, tortillas, and pizza base.
2. The Cookeo, the intelligent multicooker

Robots become human
Robotics is steadily making its way into the domestic realm, and smart kitchens are one of its most obvious manifestations. Given that cooking is a fun hobby for many people and helps them relax, most users will not let the robots take their cooking completely out of their hands. And in community with others, cooking becomes an experience that, according to trend studies, people will even more value in the future. But robotics can do is make that experience a lot more fun, easy, and accessible, so one can concentrate on expanding their skills rather than toiling over tasks that can be delegated to these high-tech kitchen assistants.
Rotimatic Review – An Incredible Appliance That Saves Time, Energy, And Power
Zimplistic's kitchen robot is packed with high-tech features that make cooking unleavened flatbreads a breeze, and consumes surprisingly less power!
This is a story with a twist. Recently, my friend threw a quinceanera party for her daughter and I was asked to help organize it. The guest list had eighty names, and my friend was hell-bent on not hiring a caterer. Apart from rice and beans, green salad, guacamole, and tamales, a big part of the menu were tortillas and nachos. Now, making tortillas and nachos at home is tedious and therefore one can guess my surprise when a process that normally takes hours was completed in a small fraction of the time by Rotimatic – the first fully automatic robot designed to, well, make rotis.
3A little more about Rotimatic
Honestly, this was the first time I used a kitchen appliance this futuristic and have been spellbound by it ever since. Zimplistic – the company that makes Rotimatic – came out with the prototype of the robot in 2009. After years of further research and several patents by founders Pranoti Nagarkar and Rishi Israni, Rotimatic is now recognized as the first fully-automatic roti maker created for use in the domestic kitchen available in international markets. The appliance is a massive hit with over 60,000 units already sold the world over and has crossed USD 60 million in sales in just two years after the Rotimatic's launch. This can be attributed to its global appeal – not only does it make delicious and fresh rotis, but it also makes puris as well, and flatbreads such as pizza base ad tortilla, as seen in cuisines other than Indian.
Rotimatic saves time and energy
The traditional method of making a roti takes about half an hour, and can stretch more depending on the number of rotis bring made. The process involves kneading dough from a mix of dry and wet ingredients which are added in a specific proportion. Paying attention to the proportion here is important because human error leaves open scope for the consistency of the dough to differ each time, affecting the quality of the flatbreads. The dough ball is divided into smaller segments, flattened into even discs and then roasted on an unoiled skillet or directly over a flame for a perfect cook time.
Rotimatic takes less than ten minutes to warm up and then replicates the entire process in a matter of 90 seconds. But does this mean you'll have zero control over how your roti turns? Absolutely not! A user can select from a provided range of flours, choose the number of rotis to be made in a batch, its oil content, thickness, flavors to add if any, and the level of roasting. Once these parameters are set, Rotimatic proceeds to make flatbreads of identical quality every time until the settings are changed. The amount of time it frees for the user, especially on a hectic day is remarkable!
Add to this its ease of maintenance. The kneader and the plate where Rotimatic rolls the dough balls can be taken out without any hassle and can be rinsed off or put in a dishwasher. The ingredient-holders are just as easy to clean. Rotimatic comes with cleaning accessories such as brushes as well. And since Rotimatic is IoT and AI-enabled, issues in its performance can be fixed from a remote location as well and won't require to be carried to any service station. This is a relief considering the 39-pound weight of the robot.
Rotimatic's technology saves power
One needs to consider the gamut of sophisticated technological features Rotimatic is equipped with and their range of functions to fully appreciate the comparatively small magnitude of electricity it consumes to run them. Rotimatic is AI and IoT-enabled can share data between synced smart devices through Wi-Fi, and upgrades automatically.
A 32-bit microprocessor controls the 10 motors, 15 sensors, and 200 moving parts of Rotimatic to accurately measure and dispense flour, water, and oil for the dough, flatten it to the exact thickness specified, and roast it on heating plates till it puffs. The finished product slides out onto a tray attached to the front of the appliance.
Surprisingly, the power consumption of Rotimatic is not much different from that of a high-volume microwave oven. It draws in the ~1500W range to warm up the required components and water to make 10 Rotis, with the least thickness and 3/4 roast level. The power consumption dips post this stage, rising again during the production of individual flatbreads. In any case, the power consumed is between 1.6kW – 1.8kW. The USA and Canada model has 110V voltage, and the UK, Singapore model, 220V.
Rotimatic is a must-buy gadget of the day
The automatic roti-maker is a blessing for times when you simply do not have the time or inclination to make fresh rotis, puris, tortillas, or pizza bases, but do not wish to each frozen or restaurant-bought alternatives either. Rotimatic is already a buzzword among the younger crowd of professionals and homemakers and is catching on in the older circles as well for the ease it brings to an essential kitchen chore. Domestic spaces are steadily infusing AI into its design, and the Rotimatic is just a glimpse of what an intelligent kitchen would comprise.
The Smarter Kitchen: Handy Devices For Your Kitchen
Remember all those years ago when we would imagine robots preparing our meals? "The future," we labeled it. Well, the future is here.
Be it to ease the burden on our parents to get dinner ready, or to optimize our food prep processes so ingredients are cooked to perfection without any wastage – whatever we once visualized, technology has now materialized.
Where the only other form of food innovation involves improved delivery and more frozen food options, we've compromised our health for convenience, and people are increasingly distancing themselves from the enchantment of preparing a meal in the kitchen.
Get on with the times and pick from our list of handy kitchen devices so you enjoy home cooked food without losing out on all nutrient goodness!
We just had to start with this one. Rotis are a staple for South Asians across the world, and while time has become tighter and schedules get busier, they just can't afford the time and effort it takes to prepare rotis daily.
Moreover, roti-making is a craft – from measuring to mixing, and from kneading to puffing, it's a skill acquired over years of practice.
Therein lies the purpose of the Rotimatic – a robot operating on dozens of motors and patents, with A.I. and IoT capabilities to mimic the pride and craft that makes every roti.
Where mom would have to get up an hour earlier each day and be the last to arrive at the dinner table, the Rotimatic churns flour into a hot and puffed roti in 90 seconds.
There's a little something for everyone too – tortillas, puris, and pizzas are also options to go for with your rotis, with many more free recipe upgrades in the pipeline.
Truly a case of one Rotimatic, with endless possibilities.
Rotimatic Making Rotis in Seconds
A new and healthy obsession has been sous vide cooking; to get your meats and meals to the perfect temperature.

Rotimatic Technology – A.I. and IoT In Your Kitchen
We cannot allow years of innovation to be dumbed down into acronyms and gimmicks. It's time we talked about what really made a smart kitchen.
Artificial intelligence, or A.I. as it is universally and affectionately known, is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. Robots, essentially, and the belief that they could one day perform tasks like and for humans, is the crux of artificial intelligence.
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is pretty much as it sounds. It's the marvel of your things, or appliances, being embedded with electronics, software, sensors, or even connectivity, to enable these things to connect and exchange data. This creates opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world, into computer-based systems. In layman, the connectivity of your Rotimatic allows for cutting-edge features like remote troubleshooting, and software upgrades sent straight to your unit. Cool, huh?
Remember the times mummy would get up an hour earlier to prepare your breakfast, or join up with the rest of the family on the dinner table much after everyone else is well fed? It gets labeled a "responsibility" for mummies to feed others before they are fed themselves. As noble and heartwarming as that is, don't you think it's time we offered her an alternative that freed her of such demanding expectations?
Measuring, mixing, kneading, flattening, puffing, and then delighting – it's a tough job description. And to do it daily, and more than once a day, it gets tiring. Us as humans, with access to new and perpetually innovative technology, could make this task easier, surely?
Here's where A.I. and IoT charm and surprise – to take over the task previously only you (or mummy) could perform, and to perform better. From measuring to puffing, it's all distilled down to a push of a button – emphasizing on the "automated" definition of the Rotimatic.
Automatic Rotimatic
"Automation" is a term birthed from "automatic" which perfectly encapsulates the A.I. and IoT capabilities. The right amount of flour and water? Automated. The resulting dough ball? Perfect, and automated. Flattening the dough ball, heating the roti inside and out so as to achieve a perfect puff? 90 seconds, perfect, and automated.
Perhaps it's not being celebrated quite like the first washing machine was, or the first coffee-maker, because the concept of a roti-make has existed for a while now. The idea to simplify roti-making has been toyed with, but never quite automated. There is no appliance in the world that learns your preferred roti settings and performs real-time dough ball correction. And more than that, it's an appliance that gets better with time – with every new recipe software upgrade sent straight to your hardware through Internet connectivity.
The Rotimatic has been a sensation amongst the South Asian diaspora in the UK. If not just making their days easier by pressing a button as compared to ancient traditions of mixing the dough and cooking it on a rock, it gives them the taste of home.
We understand the hesitancy and reluctance to leave something as pure as the taste of mom's rotis to a modern-day robot, but it is important we keep up with the times. Socializing has become effortless with social media, transportation has reached new heights with the likes of Uber and Tesla.
You could argue food has gotten more convenient, but at the cost of health. Packed and frozen food from supermarkets, or a variety of delivery options for dinner – they're both meant to provide an easier mean of consuming food and completely takes away the fun and inspiration that comes from cooking a meal in the first place. Isn't that what a kitchen is for?
Along with the UK, the Rotimatic is available in 11 other countries including USA, Canada, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai.
If you're looking to be swayed by words of Rotimatic Owners, we've got a real-time collection of their thoughts and memories made with their Rotimatic over here.
Or if you may need more reasons and inspiration to get back into the kitchen and make your own dinner, check out our Rotimatic recipes over here, and get creating!
Rotimatic Experience
Rotimatic in UAE – A Way of Life for the Indian Diaspora
Rotimatic brings families together – first in the kitchen, rediscovering the joy of cooking as a family, and then across borders where the familiar taste of roti promises comfort to one's day.
Roti, a healthy flatbread made from wholemeal flour, is consumed in over 15 countries and is a staple for many Indian families across the world. For some, however, it is a way of life.
Rotimatic in UAE – A Way of Life
One Rotimatic owner, Adil, 44, has lived in Abu Dhabi for years. His wife and kids currently live in India where the kids are studying. While he certainly enjoys living in the UAE, he misses his beloved family fondly. And when it comes to meals, it's just not the same without the camaraderie of a family dinner.
"Meal preparation and rotis were never a problem when my family was here with me," says Adil, who enjoys making rotis with his wife for every single meal.
Preparing the dough for your rotis is an art form that has stood the test of time. Finding that perfect combination of flour, water and oil comes with practice and instinct, and is often rewarded with a perfect puffed roti that you know has risen well, inside and out. A crisp exterior that complements the warm and tender interior, and every tear of the roti threatens to melt in your mouth. For their family, that perfect roti represented heritage, and home. The rotis fondly remind Adil of mealtimes with his wife and children.
"Roti is a daily necessity for me. I cannot survive without it. What else could I eat?"
That's where the Rotimatic has come in handy for Adil. A fully automated kitchen robot churning out fresh, hot roti gives Adil peace of mind with every home-cooked meal he's now able to prepare with little to no effort. Launched at the start of 2018 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (UAE) and other parts of the Middle East, it has changed the way families eat together.
With it, Adil is able to prepare his meals, condensing all the expertise and efforts of roti-making into a mere push of a button. After simply adding water, flour, and oil into respective containers, the machine then does all the work — kneading the perfect ball of dough, flattening it into a disc and then cooking it, packaged with that impeccable puff. And if you're on your way home from work, or craving seconds from the dinner table, you have the option of activating your Rotimatic with your smartphone, and collect your fresh rotis as they're ready.
Kids love eating rotis made from Rotimatic
Eliminating the tedious process of making rotis from scratch has enabled Adil to enjoy fast yet healthy meals every day, each a treat to his lips with the familiarity of home and family.
Adil is just one of an impressive 7.8 million people who are working away from home in the UAE. For the many other men just like him living abroad without their family, the rotis make them feel like they're right at home with their families.
People in Dubai have Welcomed Rotimatic with Open Arms
For another couple living in Dubai, caring for their 5-month-old baby means having less time to prepare a wholesome meal in the comfort of their kitchen.
Bimal, 36, and his wife Sruthi, 31, used to dine out everyday out of convenience – a costly alternative with no control over the ingredients that go with their orders. With their Rotimatic, they now know exactly what ingredients are going into their food, and can rest assured knowing their meals are fresh, healthy, and cheap.
Furthermore, the machine isn't just limited to making rotis. Rotimatic's latest menu updates include puri and pizza bases, and the company has plans to release more types of flatbread options in the future, with the addition of gluten-free flour compatibility just around the corner.
With their own smart roti maker, Bimal and Sruthi now able to enjoy a variety of meals in the comfort of their own home, giving them precious time to spend with their newborn. "We get to spend more quality time with our baby," expresses Bimal, gleaming with a smile on his face.
The Rotimatic Owners Community on Facebook also serves as a platform for users to innovate and share their own interesting recipes – a creative outlet that encourages families to go beyond with creations like taco salad bowls, kesar milk poli, and vegan pumpkin pie, among many others. Whether you are in Dubai or in the UK, this is a one-stop avenue to discuss different types of Rotimatic recipes.

Rotis, pooris, tortillas and more flatbreads with Rotimatic
Flatbreads are the the earliest form of bread. Simply put, flatbread is an unleavened bread, which is made without yeast. Flour, water, and salt are the main ingredients. It's rolled out flat and cooked. It's origins seem to be in ancient Egypt but many cultures have their versions of flatbread. From roti in India and the Indian subcontinent to the tortilla in Central and South America, flatbreads are the staple in many parts of the world. You may have also tried the Jewish matzo, Middle Eastern pita or Scandinavian crispbreads, because some form of flatbread is produced just about everywhere. By the way, pizza dough is a type of flatbread, as well!
When we designed Rotimatic, we wanted it to be a solution not just for rotis but a flatbread making platform for families across the world.
The journey has just begun and Rotimatic has served over a million rotis in kitchens across US and Singapore. We are now working on Indian flatbreads such as poori, missi roti, millet rotis with jowar, bajara and even tortillas. We realise the Indian palate is diverse and adventurous so we have already started working on more types of flatbreads. Beginning with Pooris!
Pooris are the food of festivals. Exuberance of life!
This is a beta version of how Rotimatic will enable pooris:
Poori Ingredients:
1/3 cups of Semolina flour
1teaspoon of salt
Pinch of sugar for the golden brown colour
Mix 3 cups of flour and 1/3 cups of semolina flour in a bowl
Add 1 teaspoon salt into rotimatic water container
Fill the flour prepared in step 1 into the rotimatic flour container
Power on the machine, adjust the menu to the correct flour setting, select the amount of poori you want to make and press PLAY
Fresh flattened dough will be "HALF" sent out of the rotimatic machine
Remove the flattened dough IMMEDIATELY from the rotimatic machine
Deep fry the fresh flattened dough in hot oil till its puffed and golden brown
Remove fried poori from oil and leave to drain – standing
Poori is ready to be served!

Phishing attack against MSN/Hotmail users – a new year, but old tricks still persist
14 Jan 2013 4 Spam

Next: Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys has NOT died in a car crash
It's a brand new year and you would like to think that computer users are getting smarter about securing their systems, and not falling for the age-old tricks used by cybercriminals.
However, we still see our fair share of elementary unsophisticated attacks designed to steal credentials from the unwary.
Take this example, an email which claims to come from the "Windows Live Team" and warns Hotmail/MSN users that their account is at risk of immediate closure after different computers logged into it, and multiple attempts were made to guess the password:
Part of the email reads:
VERIFY THIS EMAIL ADDRESS TO AVOID IMMEDIATE CLOSURE
We have recently confirmed that different computers have logged onto your Hotmail and Msn account and multiple password errors have been entered. We are hereby suspending your account; as it has been used for fraudulent purposes.. Now we need you to reconfirm your account information to us. Click your reply tab, fill in the columns below and send it back to us or your email account will be suspended permanently.
The email, which has the subject line "CONFIRMATION ALERT RESET (2013)" and comes from an unofficial-looking @msn.com email address, urges the user to reply via email with their full name, username, password, date of birth, and country in order to confirm their identity.
In case that seems a little brusque, the would-be thieves who spammed out this email provided some helpful tips at the end of the email about managing email accounts.
Of course, Microsoft would never ask you to confirm your identity in this fashion – especially not by sending your password in an (unencrypted) email.
But less security-savvy computer users might be duped into believing it is true, and respond with all the information the cybercriminals want, before having a chance to think twice.
It's a highly unsophisticated attack – but if it works against just a small number of people that the spammers send it out to, what does that matter?
Don't be a cybercrime statistic, make sure that you, your friends and your family are wise to such tricks and don't share your login information with anybody.
Hat-tip: Thanks to Naked Security reader Jack for forwarding us this phishing email.

I have seen versions of this aimed at Yahoo and Facebook users too.
Freida Gray says:
I have never seen their second option in Hotmail.I just use the third option regularly on my junk & deleted mail,which may explain why I haven't seen this email.
First red flag…….. if MSN was suspending your account, you would be notified at the login, not via email.
Second red flag…………read the first sentence of the email again. "We have recently confirmed that different computers have logged onto your Hotmail and Msn account and multiple password errors have been entered." If different computers had "logged onto your Hotmail and MSN account….." there couldn't have been "multiple password errors", or they wouldn't be "logged onto".
Third red flag…….. MSN is spelled "Msn" in the email. If something is sent "officially" from a specific site, especially one as big as MSN, there won't be any spelling errors. If there is one word spelled wrong, I say delete it.
Some people, I'm sure, are going to fall for this because they lack common sense. It's a shame, too. All it takes is a little analysis of what is there, only takes a couple of minutes, tops, and could save them a lot of "pain".
Kathy Sullivan says:
I just forward those to abuse@hotmail.com with the source code of the emails and let Hotmail handle them. Been doing that for years. There's always a new batch every September when universities start school.

Spark supported CQL types are mapped to Scala types.
To get a Spark RDD that represents a Cassandra table, load data from a Cassandra table into Spark using the sc-dot (sc.) syntax to call the cassandraTable method on the Spark context.
With DataStax Enterprise, you can save almost any RDD to Cassandra. Before you use the RDD in a standalone application, import com.datastax.spark.connector.
Hadoop HDFS data can be accessed from DataStax Enterprise Analytics nodes and saved to Cassandra tables using Spark.
This table maps CQL types to Scala types. All CQL types are supported by the DataStax Enterprise Spark integration. Other type conversions might work, but cause loss of precision or not work for all values. Most types are convertible to strings. You can convert strings that conform to the CQL standard to numbers, dates, addresses or uuids. You can convert maps to or from sequences of key-value tuples.
