Learn the basics of arm knitting and complete your own super-soft, chunky cowl in less than an hour! This video is ideal for beginners — all you need to get started are two skeins of yarn (and your arms!).
It's definitely safer to arm knit straight through until you're done, but sometimes you just have to take a break! You can slide the loops carefully off your arm and onto a placeholder — like a yardstick, a roll of gift wrap, or even another (long!) piece of yarn. Just be careful to slide the loops off and on in the same order, and don't miss one — that's like dropping a stitch!

This week, Pitchfork shared lists featuring the best albums and tracks of the decade so far. We asked Pitchfork writers and editors to share a favorite song and album that didn't make the list, along with a music highlight and their personal Top 10s or 20s. Check back for more installments of My Decade in Music So Far.
Waxahatchee: American Weekend [Don Giovanni]
I have records like this sometimes, where I don't listen to them all that often but when I do it's very intense. The week I discovered this record, in December 2012, I listened to it constantly and knew immediately it'd be a huge favorite for a long time. The album is about a period in life that is distant for me now (early 20s) but I can remember how it all felt and remember the relationship between feeling things very deeply—having the present moment seem seem super-charged—and wanting to channel that into creative expression. That's partly why so many people make great records in their early 20s. I wrote this on my Tumblr in December 2012:
On December 15, 2012, which was a Saturday, I spent the day at the Pitchfork office to work on our year-end lists and also write my own blurbs. By late afternoon I was looking at the day's work and listening to Waxahatchee's American Weekend while having a beer before heading home. I was feeling pretty good about what we had accomplished that year, feeling good about music and life in general. Holidays were coming, which is always a strange time for me, and then there was this song, which mentioned a sharp hangover on Christmas Eve and hiding from the world for a minute. Pretty sure for the rest of my life when I hear this song I'll think of that one afternoon.
And I can report that almost two years later I do in fact think of that one afternoon whenever I hear "Rose, 1956".
Lana Del Rey: "Radio" [Interscope]
I was thinking recently about how many people analyze and discuss radio-directed pop music by noting a song's individual parts, and evaluating them in turn: "Great chorus, but not too sure about the bridge, the verses are OK." I hear the word "pre-chorus" come up in regular conversations. I know I'm a music critic and that's the way we talk, but it can feel like we're engineers discussing how machines are put together. We've all read too many Dr. Luke profiles, maybe. And it seems commonly understood that this is a normal way to talk about pop music. This feels like a more recent phenomena to me. I really don't remember, say, Prince and Madonna songs being broken into constituent parts like that, but maybe they were.
I mention all this to say that my appreciation for Lana Del Rey's "Radio", a song I love, seems very much along the lines of admiring how well a super high-end toaster is put together, or something. Don't get me wrong, I feel stuff when I hear this song, big time, but it seems like it's because the form of it is just so perfectly rendered, and when the verses explode into the choruses it's like watching a 747 take off and you can't believe that something so heavy can fly. And then if I step back a little more, I can see that it's a song about being on the radio, and how the fact of being on the radio makes life for the character in this song less painful. It all swirls together and becomes a very interesting mix of ice-cold aesthetics and warm emotion.
Musical Highlight of the Last Five Years
I've always said that I'm not a show person, and that almost all of my greatest experiences with music involve recordings. Here's one from a couple of years back that also illustrates why I still love record shopping.
Early in this decade my wife went to graduate school in another state, which meant I spent a lot of time alone. I'd been a Neil Young fan for a long time at this point, but I was far from an expert on his catalog. But as anyone who spends a lot of time alone can tell you, Tonight's the Night makes a very good companion. Maybe because the album is so off-the-cuff and loose and sloppy you kind of feel like the band is in there in the room with you. They have a definite presence. But it's also because it's an album about feeling many contradictory things at once. It's both blown-out and dark and also a lot of fun. So all that together really fills up a room.
During this time I lived about 300 yards from Laurie's Planet of Sound, a great record store on the north side of Chicago. And since I wasn't going out much and was often alone, I stopped into Laurie's a few times a week to look at the new arrivals bin for used records. And somewhere during this period I started collecting Neil Young records in earnest. First I got all the good ones, and then I decided, hey, I want all of them, even the mid-80s shit. Felt like something I would like to have on my shelf.
But one thing about my life as a record collector is I'm also driven by good deals, not just by buying great records. I think I enjoy them more if I know I didn't overpay. And that's a little tricky when it comes to Neil Young. Because he charges absolutely outrageous prices for his new records on double records now, and I'm missing a lot of them. I'm not going to spend $60 on a double album.
But of course it's quite easy to find most of Neil's records on vinyl pretty cheap. A few sold millions of copies. So I was quickly amassing a sizable Neil collection. I found Time Fades Away at Laurie's for like $12, that made me happy. Got Journey Through the Past cheap. I already had On the Beach from back when it was out of print, and I think it cost me $5. I got the CSNY records he was on, I got the Stills-Young record. Sometimes I'd luck out and find a new record for not a lot of money. I got all the '80s records for very little, and also found Freedom for not much, which is rare.
But somehow, I could not find Zuma. Now it's easy to find new, but I wasn't seeing it around during those couple of years for some reason. Could have been just chance. And after a while I mentioned Zuma to one of the clerks at Laurie's, whom I saw in the store but didn't know otherwise, and she said that she didn't remember coming across any in a while. A few weeks after that, while I was out of town, I got an email from her, out of the blue, and she said someone had recently sold a nice clean copy of Zuma and she'd hold it for me until the next time I came in. I hadn't asked her to do this, she just did it to be nice, which I found very touching.
So now I'm up to 33 Neil Young records on vinyl. Maybe someday a kind clerk will hold for me Mirror Ball or Ragged Glory or Le Noise or...

Cleveland Browns still searching for an answer at quarterback
After yet another major injury scare in the NFL's preseason – Odell Beckham, Jr. appears to be okay – debate about how much the preseason really matters will ramp up again.
For the Cleveland Browns however, they needed the preseason to figure out who their starting quarterback will be. The top two, Brock Osweiler and DeShone Kizer, haven't separated themselves, though Browns coach Hue Jackson said after the game he has seen enough to make a decision and plans to do so this week.
Hosting the New York Giants on Monday night, the Browns started Osweiler. He has started both preseason games, and that might indicate he'll be Jackson's choice to start the regular-season opener too. However, Osweiler was predictably atrocious for his two series on Monday. Errant on basic throws and unable to identify where his protection keys came from, he finished the game 6 of 8 for 25 yards and an interception. One of his incomplete passes was a high pass to an open David Njoku. It's precisely the type of throw that an adequate quarterback makes in the NFL, and one that Osweiler has missed on time and time again.
With that in mind, it may come as a surprise that before the game, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Osweiler has won over the veterans in the locker room and said he's the "clear favorite" to start. That's a bit of a surprise considering Osweiler is coming off a season for the Houston Texans in which he averaged a league-worst 5.8 yards per attempt.

It is also a bit surprising considering Cleveland invested a second-round draft choice in 21-year-old quarterback DeShone Kizer. After a stellar debut last week (11 of 18, 184 yards, one touchdown), Kizer impressed once again during his four series. Perhaps he wasn't as sharp as he was in Cleveland's first game, but he did enough to state his case as the Browns present, as well as their future.
The rookie amassed 84 yards passing, along with 35 yards and a score on the ground. It's worth noting that he did this without the protection of top offensive linemen Joe Thomas or Joel Bitonio, and was playing against the Giants' first- and second-string defense. Kizer also had an interception in the second half that will not show in the box score because it was wiped out due to a penalty.
Kizer, despite being a big project, is a far more dynamic scrambler and runner than his counterpart. His 18 rushing touchdowns at Notre Dame rank second in school history, even though he played in just 25 games. He still has plenty of work to do in terms of knowing when to tuck it and run – as well as simply when to throw the ball away – but it's clear that Kizer's ability to extend plays is a legitimate component to his game.
Through two preseason games, Kizer has led nine offensive series, which have resulted in 24 points. Osweiler has captained six drives, resulting in no points. Kizer has played better, but Osweiler has started both preseason games. Cody Kessler, who started eight games as a rookie last season, is still around too, though if Jackson has made his decision already, it's hard to believe it's Kessler.
The 2-0 Browns will play in Tampa Bay in the third preseason game, generally the week where we learn who the starters will be for the regular season. According to Jackson, we should find out before that third preseason game who Cleveland plans to start at quarterback when the games count.

Swash was originally a sound installation for a visitor attraction but since its original presentation, the underwater recordings on which it was based have been reinterpreted in a number of different contexts. When the spACE-Net research group approached us to re-install the original installation for a conference in York, we suggested instead, creating an eight-channel improvised version of the piece.
Swash was a permanent, twenty-four channel sound installation, based entirely on under-water recordings, created for the Living Coasts visitor attraction in Torquay in June 2003. By placing twenty-two independently controlled speakers at regular intervals throughout the space, we were able to create an environment in which a number of different spatial behavioural models could be explored. The premise of the original installation was based around these movement models so that the spatial dimension of the piece became its primary focus. The fact that all the sounds used were derived from recordings of water was, in the first instance, a secondary theme.
The first reinterpretation of the piece was conceived as an eight-channel, acousmatic fixed media work. This piece was not merely an eight-channel reduction of the original installation but an entirely new composition based on the same materials in which focus was shifted from the movement models explored in the installation, to the gestural potential latent but not fully exploited in the original materials. Unlike the original installation, the concert version has a very definite teleology. This version of the piece was premiered at the Martin Harris Centre, Manchester in June 2006 as part of the Sonic Arts Network EXPO. Where the 'fixed' concert version concentrated on movement in the sounds, both spatial and dynamic, we were always aware of another latent quality to these sounds; namely, the dense, static, immersive textures, which unfold sometimes almost imperceptibly slowly. Responding then, to James Tenney's notion that: "You don't expect a river all of a sudden to change its speed, to make itself more interesting"[1], in the improvised version all sense of 'development' as such is eschewed and instead replaced by a slowly evolving sound environment much closer in form to the sonic contexts in which the original recordings were made.

WOLF GIRL & BLACK PRINCE: Live-Action Manga Adaptation Now Playing in Japan
Trailer and High-Res Photos for New Film
Source: Warner Bros. Pictures Japan
Official Site: warnerbros.co.jp/ookamishojo (Japan)
The romantic comedy WOLF GIRL & BLACK PRINCE (オオカミ少女と黒王子, Okami Shojo to Kuro Oji) opened today at the Shinjuku Piccadilly and other theaters across Japan. Directed by Ryuichi Hiroki (KABUKICHO LOVE HOTEL), the movie is based on Ayuko Hatta's manga of the same name, which has sold more than 450 million copies since its 2011 debut.
WOLF GIRL & BLACK PRINCE stars Fumi Nikaido (WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL?, HIBI ROCK: PUKE AFRO AND THE POP STAR) as "wolf girl" Erika Shinohara and Kento Yamazaki (LOVE FOR BEGINNERS, L♡DK – LIVING TOGETHER) as "black prince" Kyouya Sata. The supporting cast features Nobuyuki Suzuki (THE KIRISHIMA THING, STRAYER'S CHRONICLE), Mugi Kadowaki (GASSOH), Ryusei Yokohama (MARUYAMA THE MIDDLE SCHOOLER), Elaiza Ikeda (THE VIRGIN PSYCHICS), Tina Tamashiro (SADAKO VS KAYAKO), Ryo Yoshizawa (KAMEN RIDER FOURZE THE MOVIE, KAMEN RIDER X KAMEN RIDER WIZARD & FOURZE: MOVIE WARS ULTIMATUM) and Nanao (THE SNOW WHITE MURDER CASE, ONE PIECE FILM GOLD).
Newly enrolled in high school and completely single, 16 year old Erika Shinohara brags about her romantic experiences. Before long, her friends express doubts that she even has a boyfriend. To cover her lies, Erika takes a picture of a random, good-looking boy she sees in the city. But, after she presents the photo to her friends as "proof", she discovers the boy is actually Kyouya Sata, a popular student attending the same high school.
Erika approaches Kyouya and explains her dilemma. He agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend, but under one condition… she must be absolutely obedient to him! The "prince" of the school is actually a "black prince" with a sadistic streak who treats Erika like a dog.

Single Parent Loan in the UK: Getting the Best Loan Solutions
Because of the fact that the demands for loans have never ceased to increase in the recent years, and with the consequent surge in the number of borrowers with unpaid debts, traditional lending firms and institutions have agreed to come up with a solution that will help address and prevent such problems from reoccurring in the long term. As a result, a credit scoring system was developed and designed specifically to work towards the lending firms and institutions' agreed ends. With such credit scoring system in place, lending institutions were easily capable of segregating borrowers according to their finances. Individuals and other borrowers with income levels that do not meet what the lending institutions have declared as the required minimum were given poor credit scores, while borrowers who missed out on their payments repeatedly or frequently, despite their reasons, had records that automatically reflected their bad payment histories. Under the same credit scoring system, borrowers whom the lending firms have assessed as unlikely to be capable of repaying their debts were easily segregated from those whom they saw as likely capable of paying off their loans in the future. As a result, individuals and other borrowers with poor credit scores and bad payment histories were automatically disqualified from procuring loans from any of the standard lending institutions and firms. And while this credit scoring system was proven to be highly effective by the lending institutions, it had long term effects that were proven to be highly detrimental to the borrowers' finances.
Because borrowers with bad credit situations were no longer allowed to acquire loans from any of the legitimate lending institutions, they were often left with very little and often impractical or just downright unacceptable options whenever they were faced with urgent financial situations. And since selling off personal properties to raise money, as well as borrowing from some friends or members of the family may not always be plausible or easy, many borrowers with bad credit were left to settle with underground loans from illegally lending individuals or firms. But while through this option, borrowers are provided with the temporary monetary relief that they urgently need, the long term consequences often attached to these types of lending services often leave borrowers in even worse financial situations. Because of the excessively high interest rates that are inherent to underground loans, a lot of borrowers often found themselves in a never-ending cycle of difficult financial conditions.
Getting Single Parent Loan for Bad Credit
As more and more borrowers with bad credit found themselves in similar cycles of perpetuated financial predicaments, an entire new market comprised entirely of borrowers with bad payment history and poor credit scores was eventually created. And with the continuously increasing demands for more acceptable, more flexible, and a lot safer financial services in this newly created market for borrowers with bad credit, lending firms and institutions later on came up with innovative new loan solutions. Through innovative new financial services such as single parent loan for bad credit, borrowers now finally have easy access to more affordable, much safer, and a lot more flexible loan solutions despite their bad credit situations. With innovative loan services like single parent loan for bad credit, borrowers no longer have to submit impossibly hard to secure requirements, making loan applications a lot more convenient. And unlike application procedures for a lot of the conventional loans that are typically being offered at traditional lending institutions and firms, applications for innovative loan solutions like single parent loan do not necessitate waiting in long lines in long hours just to submit loan applications, nor do they entail even longer waiting when it comes to approvals as well as release of approved loans' funds.
How to Get Single Parent Loan for Bad Credit
Through innovative new loan services such as single parent loan for bad credit, borrowers finally have easy access to faster and more convenient financial services that they can rely on in times of urgent financial circumstances. Since everything can now be done entirely online, borrowers now have the convenient option to submit their loan applications without having to leave the comfort of their own homes. And because everything can now be completed entirely over the internet, borrowers may now submit their applications from anywhere, and at any given time. With innovative new loan services like single parent loan for bad credit, borrowers may now expect their loan applications to be immediately processed upon submission. Consequently, approvals for loan applications may now be completed in as little as mere minutes after they were submitted. The release of funds for an approved single parent loan, on the other hand, may now be accomplished in as little as hours after their processing was completed.
Because of this extremely useful features of innovative loan services like single parent loan for bad credit, these loan services actually make good alternatives in addressing urgent financial circumstances. But because innovative financial solutions like single parent loan for bad credit are typically small loans that are normally arranged for borrowers to repay over short payment terms, these loan services actually do not make good resolutions to more complicated financial situations. In addressing complex financial conditions that require loans in bigger amounts and longer payment terms, borrowers are best off procuring secured loan options, which can easily be repaid over much longer payment terms.
Getting Single Parent Loan from Direct Lenders
For many borrowers, a common misbelief is that taking loans from the lenders directly saves them more money because it means they won't have to pay for loan brokers' fees. What these borrowers fail to see, however, is the fact that because loan brokers maintain a network of connections to different lenders in different regions, they consequently have unrestricted access to all their discounted lending services. Because of this, borrowers who secure loans with help of loan brokering firms actually enjoy a lot more savings and much more advantages in the long term.
What Happens If I lie On My Application?
This has happened before and for obvious reasons this isn't good practise and will never end up in you getting the loan you want. Please be aware by lying you will only be wasting your time and that of the lenders as they have control measures in place to stop such a thing and will always check your application to the best of their ability.
Lying on your declaration and receiving money from the lender, can be and will be, classed as fraud. The relevant legal proceedings will then be taken to recoup the funds.

Games with Frontiers
A two-day symposium organised by the artist Philip Kojo Metz
in English
On 29 and 30 October, diverse perspectives surrounding Philip Kojo Metz's project, The Mimicry Games, will be offered and its broader themes addressed by an interdisciplinary series of presenters including Ann Schomburg, Stefanie Sylla, Ismal Duá, Monika Kalinauskaitė, Sascha Boldt and Zeina Idris.
Taking football as the medium – within the context of the UEFA European Championship – The Mimicry Games approaches the history of European colonization of Africa by forming a visual and physical connection between the sport and this history. Shifting the location of the European Cup to its colonial counterpart on the African continent, the project places African football players in competition against each other, while uniformed in the national team jerseys of their former colonizers. As the 2016 European Cup was held in France, The Mimicry Games were carried out in Senegal, a former French colony, and were internationally and intercontinentally broadcasted and discussed in a series of public viewings and studio talks. Through this widely accessible game that establishes connections on an international scale, the work addresses notions of national identity, processes of cultural exchange, mimesis and the remnants of a colonial past.
Contributions on the first day of the symposium will consider the relationships and interactions between the African and European continents. On the second day, the presentations will expand the scope of the topic, examining possible parallels in other cultures and continents.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Overclocked - Closing the gap on the GTX TITAN (Page 22)
Final Thoughts
Out of the box the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 3GB already does an excellent job of putting out some fantastic gaming numbers. Often we can see the model really doesn't sit all that far behind the epic GTX TITAN, considering the $350 price difference between the two models, this is really something quite special indeed.
With the gap at times being quite small, it doesn't come as too much of a surprise when we see the overclocked GTX 780 3GB close that gap to the point where there's almost nothing between the two models. At times you see the overclocked GTX 780 3GB even manage to sneak ahead. Most the time, though, we do see it continue to fall slightly behind its big brother the GTX TITAN, if not by only a few FPS.
Going through the results there's some important performance increases that are brought to the table with overclocking, which include times when we move below 60 FPS to over it, resulting in what we would call non-playable to playable. Along with that we also see times where we just get some extra FPS in that 60 FPS realm which we appreciate as it gives us a bit more breathing room for a solid gameplay experience.
Out of the box the GTX 780 3GB was already putting out some great performance numbers and when overclocked, you can see those numbers are improved even further, and of course extending its lead on AMD's Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition.
The big thing that GTX 780 overclocking brings to the table is an increase in value for the new NVIDIA model. Considering how overclocking closes the gap between this $649 card and the $999 GTX TITAN, the GTX 780 3GB instantly begins looking even more attractive.
It will be interesting to see what companies do when it comes to pre-overclocked retail models, but for now it's obvious that there's some decent head room to be had and NVIDIA has a good thing in the GTX 780.

Ryan's pun game is always on deck. These past episodes I've [John] been dropping puns like panties. I [John] guess it's because I'm board (bored). Anyone catch that? Deck and board? Har har har. Like puns, it seems many people are just as quick with relationship clichés; I [John] am most definitely guilty of doing so. Today we talk about some of these relationship clichés. The TRP team will discuss our thoughts on their meanings and people's perception of what they could mean.
What Is Your Take On These Relationship Clichés? Outline
- "Love means never having to say you're sorry."
- "Love conquers all"
- "If you can't love me at my worst, you can't love me at my best"
- "Never settle for anything less than a fairy tale"
- "Happy wife, happy life"
- "Never go to bed angry"
- Any additional clichés we need to talk about?

It's true: In many ways, chefs are the new rock stars. People are enthusiastic about novel pairings and high-concept plating. But, if you are like me, my love of food is often diminished by the self-importance and pretense surrounding of-the-moment chef-owned eateries.
That's why I love Graham Elliott's tablecloth-loathing and his ilk. Graham, who I feature in the latest episode of The Inc. Life, finds truffles as fascinating as Twinkies. His passion for transforming familiar supermarket staples like Cheez-Its, Rice Krispies, Twinkies, popcorn, and fried eggs into high-concept fare introduces a sense of whimsy and grooviness to the highfalutin' world of cuisine.
In Graham's kitchen, Budweiser bubbles twinkle atop a spicy chicken dish. Twinkies are worked into Caesar salad croutons. Fois gras and Pop Rocks are partnered for a amuse bouche lollipop. A library of inexpensive artisinal beers compliment a lively cocktail menu. Forget snobbery. Creativity and risk taking is what is rocking the food world.

(Published in The Times of India: http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/shaira-mohan-blog/now-hooliganism-is-the-way-forward/ )
Much like a spoilt child that is allowed to throw tantrums when refused a toy of their choosing, the Jats decided to throw their own tantrum emulating that spoilt brat child that wants many things but deserves none. Except they took their tantrum too far, the casualties of which have been the lives of many innocent people.
And for what? For a reservation status that many other disabled, weaker sections deserve far more. You don't see them burning down buses, pelting crowds with stones and bringing states and cities to a halt like hooligans. As someone rightly stated, if seats are reserved in trains and other transport systems for disabled, handicapped men and women only, why should there be an uproar among perfectly abled, financially sound sections, throwing their weight around and wreaking such havoc that has taken nineteen lives already? Unacceptable.
The Haryanvi chess player, Anuradha Beniwal pleads in a video to her fellow Haryanvi Jats to end the agitation and stop the ruining of their own lands and people. To stop making a laughing stock of a country that is already burdened with a teetering ethical reputation and stop indulging in acts of violence and barbarism that only turn the tides of progress back towards unabated regression.
We were still in the throes of the JNU debacle dividing the nation and pointing angry fingers every which way, when the Jats decided to roll in with their own charades, perhaps emboldened by the blatant ineptitude of our very 'hardworking' police force or the clear 'gundagardi' that seems to be the norm these days.
But sadder still is the fact that such gundagardi finds its mark and brings the results it has so treacherously set out to obtain – the government finally gives in and decrees that the OBC status, will, in fact, be doled out for the 'gundas' of Haryana in the upcoming Vidhan Sabha session. Bravo. Instead of putting their foot down and punishing the unabashed acts of choking water supply, torching houses and livelihoods of people, injuring and killing many innocents and causing even airline, train and road traffic to come to a halt due to their bratty agitations, these hooligans have now subsided their wrath somewhat after their greed has been quenched. The toy shall be given to the child that is most misbehaved.
I read a comic strip someone has posted today on Facebook. It showed a laughing Obama with the words " Go on India, increase reservations so that you take the reserved and we take your deserved." If this doesn't hit the nail on its head, I don't know what does.
Today its reservations. Tomorrow it will be something bigger. And in the crosshairs, our country, our cities and our people will continue to suffer. Either do away with reservations completely, or limit them to those who truly deserve them.
As for hooligans who have taken the law in to their own hands, punish them. Teach them that greed and bad behavior will not merit privileges. Earning them through hardwork will. Our children learn the same way. This isn't the world we are raising them for.

Agile India 2017- Beyond "Easy Agile". How to Overcome the Challenges of Adopting Agile in Established Enterprises
Presenter: Scott W. Ambler
Disciplined Agile Consortium was pleased to be a sponsor of the Agile India 2017 Conference in Bangalore, India!
Beyond "Easy Agile": How to Overcome the Challenges of Adopting Agile in Established Enterprises
Many agile methods and strategies are geared towards small teams working in reasonably straightforward situations. That's great work if you can get it. Most organizations that are adopting agile today have been in operations for decades and sometimes centuries. They are typically dealing with significant investments in legacy systems and processes that won't go away any time soon. They have an existing culture that is usually not-as-agile as it could be and an organization structure that puts up many roadblocks to collaboration. Their staff members are often overly specialized and many people do not have skills in agile software development techniques, and there are many thoughts as to what needs to be done to improve things, the adoption of agile being one of many. This is certainly not the startup company environment that we keep hearing about.
In this keynote presentation, Scott Ambler reviewed the challenges faced by established enterprises when transforming to agile and what enterprise agile means in practice. He then overviewed the Disciplined Agile (DA) framework, a pragmatic and context-sensitive approach to enterprise agile, working through how it addresses the realities faced by modern organizations. Scott works through advice for transforming your enterprise to become more agile, including the people-process-tools triad and the skills and experience required of enterprise agile team coaches and executive agile coaches. He ends with an overview of proven strategies for adopting agile in less-than-ideal environments
About the Conference
Agile India 2017 Conference is Asia's Largest and Premier Conference on Agile, Lean, Scrum, eXtreme Programming, Lean-Startup, Kanban, Continuous Delivery, Lean UX, Product Discovery, DevOps, Enterprise Agile, Patterns and more... This time we are hosting a mega six-day conference, starting on March 6th (Monday), where experts and practitioners from around the world will share their experience.

Yam Flour
yam Flour rich in vitamins carbohydrates 100% natural
$16.89 – $58.89
Yam Flour
- Yam Flour is a good source of energy; Its composed of complex carbohydrates and soluble dietary fiber.
- Dietary fiber help reduce constipation, decrease bad (LDL) cholesterol levels by binding to it in the intestines and lower colon cancer risk by preventing toxic compounds in the food from adhering to the colon mucosa. Additionally, being a good source of complex carbohydrate, it regulates steady rise in blood sugar levels.
- Yam Flour is an excellent source of B-complex group of vitamins. It provides adequate daily requirements of pyridoxine (vitamin B6), thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin, folates, pantothenic acid and niacin. These vitamins mediate various metabolic functions in the body.
- Also contains good amounts of anti-oxidant vitamin; vitamin-C. Provides about 29% of recommended levels per 100 g. Vitamin C play some important roles as anti-aging, immune function booster, wound healing, and bone growth.
- Yam Flour contains small amounts of vitamin-A, and beta-carotene levels. Carotenes convert into vitamin A inside the body. Both these compounds are strong antioxidants. Vitamin A has many functions like maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin, night vision, growth and protection from lung and oral cavity cancers.
- Yam tuber –which the flour is made from- is one of the good sources of minerals such as copper, calcium, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. 100 g provides about 816 mg of Potassium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids which helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure by countering hypertensive effects of sodium. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Iron is required for red blood cell formation.
Yam flour is powdered starch widely used in food preparation. Typically white, the flour is commonly used in African dishes, such as Amala. It may be used in many other recipes if desired as well. It is prepared by grinding dried yams until they reach a powdered consistency. Dehydrated flour from yams may also be produced from sun drying.
Yam Flour is a good choice for gluten-free recipes. Use of this flour is known to create lighter, fluffier products as well. High in carbohydrates, the food also contains some fat and protein. A cholesterol-free ingredient, the flour also contains a small amount of sodium and sugar.
Traditional Amala is prepared with just yam flour and water. The flour is boiled until a dough is formed. The dough is then simmered in a small amount of water and kneaded before being served with a type of stew, such as one made from traditional vegetables and meats or fish.
Some people also utilize yam flour as a cheap base for dog treats or pet food. Animals with known wheat allergies may be fed with foods, such as dog cookies or biscuits, made with this type or other wheat-free flours. It's use is primarily popular in home-made pet treats.
Tasty cookies may be prepared with yam flour as well. The cookies may be prepared as any other sugar cookies, though milk is sometimes added to the recipe to prevent the flour from making the dough too dry.

If you have ever adopted a puppy that has not yet been housebroken, you know that accidents in the home are not uncommon. If the puppy has an accident on a hard floor, it can be easy to clean up completely. If the puppy has an accident on the carpet, it can be more difficult to clean up. Even worse, if a puppy smells his own urine in a certain area of the home, he will continue having accidents in that area. If you have a puppy who has accidents and you can smell urine in the carpet, there are a few ways that you can get it out.
Best Pet Urine Remover: Do It Yourself (Home Remedy)
If you have children or if you are concerned for the health of your pets, you may not want to use chemicals to remove the odor. Fortunately, there is a natural home remedy that you can use.
All you need is
- 2 cups of white distilled vinegar
- 2 cups of warm water
- 4 tablespoons of baking soda
- Spray bottle.
Start by blotting the stain on the carpet. A great way to do this is to fold a rag and place it over the stain. You can put a heavy book on it and let it sit to be sure that the whole mess has been blotted. Combine all of the ingredients in a spray bottle and completely drench the stain. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes and gently rub the area with a cloth. This will remove not only the stain, but the odor as well.
Best Pet Urine Remover: Stuart Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator

Instead, it uses a unique strain of bacteria that produces enzymes that can destroy all types of pet stains such as urine, fecal matter, and vomit. It also eliminates that odors rather than just covering it up. Many products on the market have a strong, overpowering, industrial smell. That is not the case with this product. It has a fresh scent that will make the carpet and the entire room smell great. Comes with a 100% Money Back Guarantee!
Price: (32 ounces)
Runner-Up: NonScents Pet Odor Removal Spray

It can eliminate the smell of pet urine and feces. It is also fragrance-free and it is safe and biodegradable. This product is excellent in removing pet odors.
Price: (24 ounces)
Third Place: Bissell Woolite INSTAclean Pet Stain Remover
This is a great product if you need to remove pet stains and odors. The spray can permanently eliminate the stain in 30 seconds. The oxy stain formula works on contact and it penetrates the stain, removing the unsightly mark as well as the odor. This will keep your puppy from returning to the site to have another accident.
Price: (22 ounces)
Honorable Mention: Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Removal
This is a great product to remove pet stains and odors and it has received excellent customer reviews. The formula is bacteria based and it produces certain enzymes that are designed to remove stains and odor when it comes in contact with biohazard material. Once the odor is removed, all that is left behind is a light citrus scent. This product comes is a ready to use spray bottle, making it convenient for the quick cleanup when your puppy has an accident.

Highland Lynx
Highland Lynx cats were developed by crossing two existing breeds--Desert Lynx cats and Jungle Curls. The primary foundation breed for Highland Lynx is the Desert Lynx*. Outcrosses to the Jungle Curls were made specifically to add the unique curled ears to the cats. Essentially, Highland Lynx are Desert Lynx with curled ears. They are strong, muscular cats which are medium in length with longer hind legs, and toes may be tufted. They are very alert, intelligent cats. Males are larger than females and slower to mature. These cats come in both long and short hair.
The head is large but not round, with a full,
well-developed muzzle that is almost square
in appearance, with prominent whisker pads.
The curled ears are smaller than in the
Desert Lynx and set wide apart, usually with
feathering and tufts on the tip. Ears curl
backwards at the tips. The degree of the curl
may be slight or extreme, with the tip of the
ear actually curling back and touching the
back side of the ear. The gene which causes
the ear to curl actually hardens the cartilage
in the ear dwarfs the ear size. The gene for
curled ears is a dominant gene.
The wide set eyes are large and expressive, set at an angle, with colors ranging from gold to green, with blue eyes in the snows.
The tail may come half way to the ground, or it may be lacking entirely, as in the Manx, or it may be any length in between.
Highland Lynx officially come in three coat patterns in all eumelanistic and melanistic
colors--ebony, blue, sorrel, fawn, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream --including silvers, cameos, sepias, minks, and snows. The coat patterns are tawny (ticked), leopard (spotted), and clouded leopard. Solid colored cats, as well as cats in classic and mackerel tabby, do sometimes occur.
The leopard pattern is a spotted tabby pattern. It is marked by spots of the darker color, most prominent on the sides of the body and the belly. The spots may vary in size and shape, but should be evenly distributed. Preference is given to rosette spots which are formed by a part-circle of spots around a distinctly lighter center. Contrast with ground color may not be as distinct as in some spotted breeds . A dorsal stripe runs the length of the body to the tip of the tail. The stripe is ideally composed of spots. The markings on the face and forehead are typical tabby markings, with the underside of the body having distinct spots. Legs and tail are barred. In the sepia, mink, and snow subdivisions, it is desirable for ghost leopard spots to appear on the bodies.
The tawny pattern is a ticked tabby pattern marked by ticking on the body hair with various shades of the marking color and ground color, with the outer tipping being the darkest and the undercoat being the ground color. The body may exhibit a barely perceptible spotted pattern. The tail, legs, and face will have tabby pencilings. Necklace tracings will are also frequently seen.
The clouded leopard pattern, while derived from modifications to the classic tabby gene, is different from the classic tabby pattern, with as little bull's eye similarities possible. The pattern gives the impression of marble, preferably with a horizontal flow. Vertical stripes are undesirable. Contrast should be good, with distinct shapes and sharp edges. The belly must be spotted.
Outcrosses to either unregistered or purebred cats are permitted until January 1, 2013. However, such crosses should be carefully chosen to complement the overall type of the Desert Lynx breed group, which includes Desert Lynx, Highland Lynx, Mohave Bobs, and Alpine Lynx. After January 1, 2013, outcrosses are not permitted except to cats listed in the stud book or foundation book of REFR or another registry..
Highland Lynx, Desert Lynx, and Mohave Bobs are part of the Desert Lynx breed group in the Rare & Exotic Feline Registry. In other words, Mohave Bobs, Highland Lynx, Desert Lynx, and Alpine Lynx may be bred together, with offspring registered as follows:
All white kittens (including straight and curled coats and straight or curled ears) are
registered as Alpine Lynx.
All non-white kittens with curled coats are registered as Mohave Bobs.
All non-white kittens with straight coats and straight ears are registered as Desert
All non-white kittens with straight coats and curled ears are registered as Highland
The curled ears of the Highland Lynx are caused by a dominant gene which both curls the ears and somewhat reduces the size of the ears. When these breeds are bred together, the straight-eared kittens resulting from the breeding do not carry any genes for curled ears.
Non-white kittens do not carry the gene for white color. Therefore, breeders wishing to work with Desert Lynx only would not have to worry about getting curled-eared recessive genes in Desert Lynx who have Highland Lynx in their ancestry. Breeders not wishing to work with the Alpine Lynx would not have to worry about white kittens as long as neither parent is an Alpine Lynx.
The curled coat is caused by a dominant gene. Breeders not wishing to work with Mohave Bobs do not have to worry about this as long as neither of the parents have curled coats.
These breeds are identical in body type.
*There are several breeds of cats whose origins are speculated to be intertwined with the bobcat. The most common ones are the Pixie Bob and those breeds in the Desert Lynx breed group (Desert Lynx, Highland Lynx, Mohave Bob, and Alpine Lynx). It is important to note that DNA testing on these cats has failed to show positive results for the presence of bobcat DNA. There is no evidence of feral ancestry in the
