Outside the Box – Football on TV: An incident-packed week at the BBC leaves Savage short of support and Lineker lost for words
They say a week in football is a long time and it can certainly be said that there was enough controversy, incident and wonder crammed into the last seven days of football to keep Joey Barton's Twitter account going for years. The fallout from the Manchester derby, the return of Scholes and Henry, the diminishing art of tackling from our game, Natasha Giggs being booted out of Celebrity Big Brother, Warnock, Hughes, Cahill, Carroll, there has scarcely been enough time to think about anything else.
The vast amount of talking points meant there was a packed schedule for Saturday lunchtime's Football Focus, and there was one question above any other to which I was itching for the answer: would Robbie Savage finally wear a pair of socks while he is on TV? No, he wouldn't. But we'll come to the Robster later.
First up we followed professional motor mouth Garth Crooks to White Hart Lane to interview Harry Redknapp in a week in which hysteria over his Spurs team's chances of winning the Premier League reached dizzying levels. Described as the "chief inquisitor", Crooks demonstrated his usual style of boring the pants off everyone in close proximity and at times Redknapp resembled one of those awkward dinner-party hosts, trying to politely yawn and encourage the unwelcome guest to just shut the hell up and leave.
Our Garth was having none of it though and kept on thrusting questions, machine gun-like at Redknapp; "Will you take the England job?", "Can Spurs win the title?", "Does this turn you on?". Ok I may have imagined that last one as I had completely tuned out of Garth's interrogation by this point and was replaying the 1981 film 'Escape To Victory' in my head and Sylvester Stallone's rickety attempt to portray a goalkeeper – more unconvincing than an apology from Wayne Rooney.
In amongst Garth's unceasing barrage though, 'Arry did reveal a few nuggets of information including his thoughts on the England post and the relative merits of Spurs' Premier League rivals. He also told us that he largely shuns the footballing fraternity and would rather spend time with his "family and his dogs". A nice thing to hear in today's 24-hour football frenzy culture but it might make you wonder what he does for stimulating conversation; I suppose he talks to Jamie about football matters, before turning to his dogs for a more intellectual chat.
Back to the studio then and host Dan Walker decided that another of the week's hot topics - tackling, required a good old-fashioned debate. So Savage and Alan Shearer took on former top-level referee Alan Wiley to deliberate over the various tackling talking points that have arisen in the past week or so. What ensued was a 10-minute heated discussion, in which Savage repeatedly tried to mount frenzied attacks on referee Riley, only to see him failing to get his point across completely, and we ended by seeing a couple of clips of Savage being clattered on a football pitch. It was actually quite a neat little metaphor for Savage's entire football career.
In the interest of balance, I should really take this opportunity to point a few things out about Robbie Savage. Over the past few months I have been fairly relentless in my degradation of the Welshman, partly because his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing ruined most of my Saturday nights, along with my faith in the human race as a species; and partly because well, I don't particularly like him. But Savage, love him or loath him, has been a (sort of) good servant to football and whatever my childish thoughts are about his career, he is (sort of) worthy of his place on our screens – particularly as it means I can continue to point out his many foibles. I just wish he'd wear a pair of damn socks.
Later on Saturday you may have witnessed that joyous moment during the evening's Match Of The Day when Gary Lineker's imperiously laid-back demeanour evaded him for a second when his autocue broke down during one of his "witty" pre-match links. All these years, Lineker has maintained his assured façade but for a fleeting moment the knackered autocue rendered him a mute imbecile, staring mournfully down the camera desperately hoping for Hansen or Shearer to rescue him from this moment of mortification. It was the most entertaining MOTD moment since Des Lynam performed a striptease for Comic Relief*.
There were further technical problems earlier in the week at the BBC. Back on Wednesday evening you may have watched MOTD Live: League Cup Semi-Final and the first leg between Man City and Liverpool. If so, you may have also heard that awful and annoying sound throughout the whole of the first half, it was incredibly irritating and almost ruined the game. And he was still commentating in the second half too – bloody Lawrenson.

If Amazon acquires Carrefour, Amazon will immediately have a very strong pedal in Europe, South America and the Middle East.
Recently, analyst Xavier Caroen at investment bank Bryan Garnier made a noteworthy remark: "If Alexandre Bompard (new CEO of Carrefour supermarket chain) does his job well, Carrefour will be the target. ideal acquisition for Amazon".
Carrefour, a French supermarket chain, was a pioneer in building hypermarkets (big-box supermarkets, combining food and other consumer goods) in the 1960s. Now Carrefour is seek to promote e-commerce activities, as well as combine online and offline shopping experience.
Recently, Carrefour has chosen a new CEO, Alexandre Bompard (44), who has led the successful FNAC electronics store chain since 2011. Now, in Carrefour, Bompard is tasked with finding how to expand e-commerce activities, as well as seek to revive the company's struggling hypermarkets. From Carrefour's backbone, these hypermarkets are now becoming the company's Achilles heel, having struggled to compete with a new set of competitors: e-commerce sites like Amazon; more flexible hypermarkets like E.Leclerc; super discount stores; and high-end groceries like Grand Frais.
Retail consultant Joelle de Montgolfier at Bain & Co. "Hypermarket model needs to be rethought from the beginning, about what value it can bring to the market, as well as what difference it has with online shopping", says the author.
In France, supermarket chains have implemented e-commerce quite well compared to supermarkets in the US, in which Carrefour is leading this trend. The online ordering model and the click-and-collect supermarket have grown strongly in France for over a decade, and Carrefour alone has more than 500 locations that allow customers to do this. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart in the US has only adopted this model since 2014.
Bompard took office at Carrefour at the same time as the new French President Emmanuel Macron sought to reform the country's labor laws, as well as encourage the development of a digital economy. Previously at FNAC, Bompard once made investors extremely pleased when he drove this chain of stores to develop in the direction of high technology, as well as successfully acquired Darty electric chain stores. Today, FNAC and Darty's e-commerce site has nearly the same traffic as the Amazon site in France, based on research from Mediametrie and Fevad. The stock price of Darty FNAC has also increased about 3 times since the IPO in 2013.
Meanwhile, Carrefour's share price has fallen about 70% from its peak in 1999. The growth of Carrefour supermarkets in Brazil and the deployment of smaller store models in inner city areas were not possible compensate for the recession of hypermarkets in France. After believing Amazon acquired the high-end Whole Foods supermarket chain in the US on Friday, the price of Carrefour shares also plummeted like many other supermarkets, before recovering slightly earlier this week.
From before Bompard's recruitment as CEO, Carrefour also sought to boost its e-commerce segment. Since 2000, Carrefour has conducted more than 50 acquisitions, including Greenweez organic food company and online market Rue du Commerce. The e-commerce segment of Carrefour has a total value of traded goods (GMV) of 1.2 billion euros in 2016, and its predecessor Georges Plassat of Bompard has set a goal of bringing this number to 4 billion. euro in 2020.
However, Carrefour is still lagging behind in selling groceries online. The wrong strategies in the early years caused Carrefour to lose the No. 1 position in the online grocery market to rival E.Llerler (43.5% market share), while the second place belongs to Auchan (25,3%). Carrefour only accounted for 9% market share in this segment.

One of the most controversial proposed cuts to the Pentagon budget is the slashing of funds for the C-130J cargo plane. Earlier this month, two dozen Senators called on Defense Secretary Rumsfeld to keep the carrier's cash intact. And Air Force officials have suddenly started gushing about their "outstanding tactical airlifter."But Tom Christie, who heads the Pentagon's testing and evaluation office, isn't impressed.In a new report, he calls the C-130J "neither operationally effective nor operationally suitable." The plane's "capabilities are limited."Christie's evaluation found "hardware, software, and technical order deficiencies," in the aircraft, as well as "manufacturing quality" and "sub-sytem reliability.""The aircrafts defensive systems have yet to demonstrate that they will work properly and the aircrafts airdrop mission has yet to be evaluated by Christies office," the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) notes. And the weather reconnaissance version of the plane is still having issues with "radar performance in hurricane reconnaissance missions, propeller anti-ice protective cover peeling, and excessive vibration."POGO says it'll have the C-130J evaluation online later today. Or, for $25, you can download Christie's complete report, which looks at just about every major Pentagon project there is, from Inside Defense right now.

Why Cisco Topped the Dow's Record QuarterMarch 30, 2019 by Douglas A. McIntyre
The Dow Jones industrial average posted its best quarter since the financial crisis, up 11% to 25,928.68. The top-performing of the 30 Dow components was tech company Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), and it topped it in spectacular fashion, rising 24.6% to $53.99.
Cisco's performance was doubly impressive because of its outperformance of other Dow tech stocks. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares rose 20.42% to $189.95. Chip company Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) was up 14.43% to $53.70. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) shares increased by 16.12% to $117.94.
What caused Cisco's shares to surge? Two obvious answers are what Cisco has done directly for investors, beyond the company's financial performance. Cisco announced it would buy back as much as $15 billion in shares. For a public corporation with a market value of $250 billion, this is a significant benefit. Share buybacks often lift earnings per share because fewer shares are in circulation. Another reason is the healthy dividend. Cisco's yield is 2.42%, high for a major tech company. By contrast, Apple's is 1.55%.
But the major reason Cisco has done well is its role in what likely will be the largest revolution in consumer wireless broadband in a decade. Cisco makes cloud and router products for 5G networks, which will be rolled out across the world in the next several years. 5G is the wireless system that will replace the 4G systems used in most developed and developing countries. Its speed is as much as 20 times faster than its 4G predecessor. 5G should be available to 3 billion people within three to four years. But network providers will have to invest. As an example of the market's size, AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) posted capital expenditures of $21 billion last year, much of it to build out its early 5G networks.
Finally, Cisco's earnings have been impressive. In the most recently reported quarter, which ended January 29, its bottom line substantially improved. Revenue rose 5% to $12.4 billion. Earnings rose from a loss of $1.78 per share a year ago to a profit of $0.63. The company said that in the current quarter, growth would be even more impressive. Revenue is expected to grow as much as 6% compared to the same quarter of last year. A per-share earnings outlook of $0.76 to $0.78 handily topped Wall Street expectations.
If stock prices are based on corporate performance and earnings forecasts for the next one to three years, which they are for many analysts, the sea change in wireless technology represented by 5G and Cisco's role in it has driven its shares up at a pace that made it the top Dow stock of the first quarter. Its performance in the future likely will continue to impress.

He told MFC TV after the match: "I'm hugely disappointed with the lack of anything both in an attacking and a defending sense, and I've made those feelings clear to the players.
"We've not put in a performance as limp as that for a long, long time and that is hurtful.
"Ross County did all the dirty things better than us, winning all the second balls and putting their head in.
"Throughout the team, there is not one player who gets pass marks in what was a really, really poor performance.
"I'm annoyed at the lack of desire although thankfully performances like that are few and far between."

The Donald Trump administration's crackdown on work visas is hitting Indians disproportionately hard. Now, a report from the National Foundation for American Policy has found that in 2017, Indian applicants for H-1B visas were hit by more denials and demands for proof of eligibility to work than applicants from other nations.
Between July and September 2017, the US denied H-1B visas to 23.6% of Indian applicants, up from 16.6% in the three preceding months, according to the latest data released by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP), a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to public policy research.
The H-1B visa is normally given to highly skilled workers is specialized jobs and is usually obtained by employers however; it has now become an immigration debate in the Trump era, claiming that they are taking jobs away from Americans.
Many Silicon Valley technology companies have lobbied for an expansion of the annual 85,000 cap on new visas, arguing that companies need to be able to bring in the world's top talent, according to the Mercury News. After obtaining an H-1B visa, one can apply for a green card but due to extensive backlog they tend to extend their visas instead.
Stellar Software Network, a staffing and outsourcing company has filed a lawsuit against the federal government alleging that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration illegally denied Kartik Krishnamurthy, an Indian man, his H-1B visa.
According to a Mercury News report, the denial comes in wake of the U.S. crackdown on the H-1B visa and called the denial of Krishnamurthy's visa "arbitrary and capricious." Krishnamurthy worked at Stellar on the H-1B visa for about seven years until the end of May, according to the lawsuit.
The issue started in August 2017 when a request for Krishnamurthy's visa extension was put in and was denied due to the H-1B crackdown that arose from President Donald Trump's "Buy American and Hire American" executive order.
Also, applications for Indian workers were more frequently subjected to the "requests for evidence," according to the report by the National Foundation for American Policy.
Workers from India, comprising by far the largest number of H-1B workers in the U.S., have been impacted adversely by the "Buy American, Hire American" executive order signed in April 2017 by President Donald Trump.
The NFAP study noted that in the fourth quarter of 2017 alone as many as 14,932 applicants from India were denied visas,out of a total of 20,514 applicants. The report, published in July, said that H-1B denials and Requests for Evidence (RFEs) increased significantly in the fourth quarter and that trends most likely will continue in 2018. The report is based on data obtained from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
"The increase in denials and RFEs of even the most highly-skilled applicants seeking permission to work in America indicates the Trump administration is interested in less immigration, not 'merit-based' immigration," the report said.
Between 2001 and 2015, an estimated 1.8 million H-1B visas were reportedly awarded to skilled foreign workers. Half went to Indians followed by workers from China. China, however, accounted for 9.4 percent of total H-1B visa applications in the 2017 fiscal year compared to India's 76 percent, according to a TechCrunch.com report.
The NFAP report said that the Trump administration has implemented no policies to facilitate the hiring of high-skilled foreign nationals. "Instead, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has enacted a series of policies to make it more difficult for even the most highly-educated scientists and engineers to work in the United States."
The climate of increasing restrictions grew forH-1B visa holders and their spouses, who had been allowed by the Obama administration to work in the U.S. legally. India's major IT outsourcing companies started changing their business models in the U.S. by relying less on H1-B visa holders and building up their domestic workforces in the United States.
That changed business model partly explains why five of the seven top Indian-based companies saw declines in FY 2017 from FY 2016, including Infosys, Wipro and HCL America.
Only TCS, with an increase of 13 percent, and Tech Mahindra, which increased by 42 percent, had more H-1B petitions for initial employment approved in FY 2017 than the previous fiscal year, an earlier NFAP report said.
The report published in April noted that the top seven Indian-based companies received only 8,468 approved H-1B petitions for initial employment in FY 2017, a decline of 43 percent for these companies since FY 2015.
An earlier NFAP report said, "H-1B temporary visas are important as they are typically the only practical way a high-skilled foreign national working abroad or an international student educated in the United States can work long-term in America."

Nonlinear, passive and active inclusions to tailor the wave interaction in metamaterials and metasurfaces
Chen, Pai-Yen
MetadataShow full item record
Metamaterials have experienced a rapid growth of interest over the past few years and new capabilities are being explored to broaden the range of their unique electromagnetic properties for functional devices, including tunable, switchable, and nonlinear properties. In the future, there is the prospect of opening even more exciting applications with metamaterials, not yet imagined and thought not to be possible with currently available techniques. In my dissertation, I discuss several solutions for passive and active metamaterials and metasurfaces, with a particular focus on their potential applications, enabling a new class of metamaterials in the spectral range from radio frequencies (RF) and microwaves, terahertz (THz) to visible light. First, I demonstrate that by loading plasmonic nanoantennas with nonlinear nanoparticles, the nonlinear optical processes, such as multiple wave mixing, high harmonic generation, phase conjugation and optical bistability may be realized at the nanoscale, thanks to the strongly enhanced optical near fields accompanied with the plasmonic resonance. I present here the design, practical realization, and homogenization theory of nonlinear optical metamaterials and metasurfaces formed by optical nanoantenna arrays loaded with nonlinearities. As an extreme case of light manipulation at the "atomic" scale, I also study the collective oscillation of massless Dirac fermions inside grapheme monolayers, in which surface plasmon polaritons are controlled by electrostatic gating. I present how a graphene monolayer may serve as a building block and design paradigm for adaptable, switchable and frequency-configurable THz metamaterials and nanodevices, realizing various functionalities for cloaking, sensing, absorbing, switching, modulating, phasing, filtering, impedance transformation, photomixing and frequency synthesis in the THz spectrum. Last I present various metamaterial designs applied to invisibility cloaks based on the scattering cancellation mechanism enabled by plasmonic materials and passive/active metamaterials and metasurfaces. This cloaking technology may be used for camouflaging, enhancing the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio in RF wireless communication and sensor networks. In addition, electrically-small antennas based on the phase compensation effect offered by metamaterials with low or negative material properties are presented, with tailorable modal frequencies, bandwidth, and radiation properties.

Manuscripts from a fabled center of trade and Islamic learning, now threatened and displaced
Dr. Abdel Kader Haidara grew up in Timbuktu, Mali, surrounded by manuscripts. Educated in Islamic studies and trained in manuscript work at the Ahmed Baba Institute in Timbuktu, Abdel Kader assumed care of his family's manuscripts and began to help other families develop their collections into full-fledged research libraries. In 1996 he founded SAVAMA-DCI (a French acronym for Association for the Protection and Promotion of Manuscripts and the Defense of Islamic Culture) to provide an umbrella organization for the libraries of Timbuktu.
Aware of the risk to Timbuktu's manuscripts from hardline Jihadists opposed to Islam's range of intellectual traditions, in 2012 Abdel Kader organized a quiet evacuation of most of the family libraries by truck and boat. He brought 1400 metal chests containing hundreds of thousands of handwritten books and historical documents to safety in Mali's capital Bamako. The move from the dry desert of Timbuktu to the humidity of Bamako brought a new challenge, and SAVAMA-DCI appealed to international organizations for help in unpacking, inventorying, digitizing, and properly storing more than 35 collections. HMML was invited to join the effort by leading the digitization efforts, ultimately operating 12 cameras in Bamako in the single largest effort in its history. The work is done by young Malian men and women, many of them relocated from Timbuktu to Bamako like the manuscripts they are preserving. HMML has provided the equipment, training, and ongoing support for the project. HMML and SAVAMA-DCI are now working with collections that remained in Timbuktu during the crisis.

I am a self-employed consultant and visiting professor at Plymouth University.
I started teaching at Acton Technical College in West London in 1972 as a lecturer in liberal studies, and have now been working in this sector for 45 years.
I was Principal of Highland College in Jersey for 15 years. As Jersey is outside of the English system, I had far more operational freedom and room to experiment. In addition, the college was relatively small so this meant I could spend more time with the students.
I 'fell' into teaching. I had been an unhappy tax inspector and my best mate from university taught at Peterborough Tech and was having a better time than me, so I thought I would give it a try. I saw an advert in the London Evening Standard looking for a lecturer in liberal studies, applied and got the job. I had no training, I just started teaching and loved it from day one.
On top of my timetable, I did overtime three nights a week and in my spare time taught English as a second language. This experience gave me a great desire to get qualified and become a real professional. It led to a Masters degree, a PhD and a couple of postgraduate certificates, which more than made up for my lack of initial teacher training.
From there I taught in colleges in Hackney, Slough, Somerset, Surrey, Bristol and Jersey. I kept a strong interest in pedagogy throughout my career and wrote books, researched and lectured at the old staff college at Coombe Lodge. I have been very fortunate to be involved in a number of national initiatives, such as chairing the review of Functional Skills and carrying out consultancy in Canada, Ireland and France. When I joined FE, I didn't realise it was going to be so fulfilling.
In 2009 I received an OBE for services to education.
To take every opportunity and make the most of them.
BTEC Diploma for Non Executive Directors, Level 7.
What enormous opportunities for growth, development and fun there are in FE.
When you know that what you taught has made a difference, it is the most satisfying feeling. A former student who I taught in the 70's emailed me out of the blue recently. He is a highly successful property developer in California and had seen me cooking a curry on YouTube and wanted to say thanks for the start I'd given him. What a joy!
It is very important to me, both professionally and personally. I believe the key aspects of professionalism are having a code of ethics, professional standards, and the opportunity to engage with my peers and SET provides that. When I started in FE, I felt we lacked this.
Tom Sharpe. His very witty book, Wilt, is still the only novel about FE.
I play blues on my guitar and I like walking on the beach. My favourite artist is Benjamin Sullivan, a fine contemporary portrait painter; I would love him to paint my portrait.

Pantries prepare to fill gaps expected with food stamp cuts
When a little less starts showing up on Lone Star cards as they're reloaded this month, some people who receive food stamps won't measure the decrease in dollars.
The average $36 cut will be calculated in jugs for Karina Patino, the mother of two rambunctious girls, 2 and 4, and an 11-year-old son.
"You can buy seven gallons of milk for your kids with $35. That's how I see $35. It makes a difference," the 28-year-old said Friday as she waited to qualify for access to the Houston Food Bank's emergency food pantry.
Starting Friday, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP - commonly known as food stamps - was cut by an average 5 percent as the 2009 federal stimulus bump in benefits expired.
This affects 800,000 people in the Houston area and 3.4 million Texans. That's roughly 1 in 8 people statewide.
Anti-hunger advocates are worried that the cuts will cause a crisis in Houston and have asked the community to help.
At a Friday news conference inside the Houston Food Bank's warehouse with U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, the nonprofit's president and CEO said he wanted to debunk the assumption that charities can simply "step up to make up the difference."
The cut for Houston-area SNAP recipients is the equivalent of shutting down two-thirds of the nonprofit's annual warehouse output, Brian Greene said.
"This is going to cause suffering," he said.
Waving a Velveeta Cheesy Skillets dinner kit box, Jackson Lee implored area residents to pick up extra items as they grocery shop and take the food to area pantries. She also called on her Capitol Hill colleagues to approve House Bill 3108, which was introduced in September to extend the stimulus increase for food stamps while Congress worked out the Farm Bill, which includes legislation that funds SNAP.
Later, Houston Food Bank spokeswoman Betsy Ballard said monetary donations also are welcome because the agency and its partners, specifically 335 food pantries, can stretch those dollars to provide for people with shrinking SNAP benefits.
The state's low unemployment rate masks the reality that many workers don't make enough money to support a family, thus relying on food stamps, said Rice University sociology professor Rachel Kimbro, who studies poverty.
This includes those working at or slightly above minimum wage or those with part-time employment when they'd like to have a full-time job. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
"If you look at the overall statistics about the economy in Houston and Texas, we look pretty good ... but we have a high rate of poverty and a lot of people on food stamps - even if we look like we're doing OK," she said.

How to help
1 Need food? Want to donate? Call the Houston Food Bank at 832-369-9390. Phone lines are open weekdays and on Saturdays. Operators can help families, individuals and donors identify hunger relief agencies. Visit bit.ly/HFBagencylocator and use your ZIP code in the searchable database to find a food pantry near you.
1 Which is needed more?: Food or money? "The best thing really is money because we can stretch that," said Houston Food Bank spokeswoman Betsy Ballard. "If you gave us $1, we could turn that into $6 worth of food. With $1, we can distribute three meals."
A national report released last month found that a majority of the 158,000 front-line fast-food workers in Texas - 59 percent - rely on at least one public assistance program such as food stamps or Medicaid, compared with 52 percent of such employees nationwide and 25 percent of the country's total workforce.
It's a treadmill Dina Grant has been on for years. Even before this month's cuts, she said her monthly SNAP benefits were decreased from $342 to $138. The $8-an-hour supervisor at a pizza chain expects to receive even less this month.
"Some people don't think we want to get better jobs, but if you are lacking that educational background or skills, you're not going to get looked at," the 41-year-old mother of three grown children said outside the emergency pantry with a cart full of supplemental groceries. "It is a struggle. It's a cut. Deep."
Even making $11 an hour as an auto parts store supervisor, Patino said she needs assistance. Her monthly SNAP benefits also got slashed, in an unrelated cut two months ago, from $457 to $188. SNAP recipients must re-qualify for benefits every six months.
"A lot of people say that people come here because they are homeless or don't want to work or [are] lazy. No, they are people who work every day and have kids and they still need help," the single mother said. "They might think it's only a couple of dollars, but it counts in the end."

B&M is selling an inflatable loo pool float with emoji poo sticks so you can duel with your mates
The sets hit B&M stores this week, and they cost £19.99
JUST when you thought you'd seen the most bizarre accessory for this summer's pool party, B&M takes the prize with its latest float launch.
The bargain retailer has rolled out an inflatable loo pool float with emoji poo sticks, so you can test your pals and prove who's the loo-ser and whose the sh*t this summer.
Each set includes two giant toilet-shaped floats for you to sit on as well as two poo emoji batons, and bizarrely B&M's called it a "poo fight pool float".
But really, what better way to spend a sunny day than duelling with your mates to see who gets flushed first?
The sets set you back £19.99 each, and they're available in B&M stores nationwide.
The retailer has over 600 stores across the UK. You can find your nearest one using its store locator.
The toilet float comes in the size of 112cm x 76cm x 61cm, while the batons are 141cm long.
We haven't been able to find a similar set anywhere else, although you can pick up the pieces separately - just keep in mind it'll cost you more.
For example, Flubit is selling a single toilet pool float for £29.66.
While Amazon is selling a giant poo float measuring 168cm x 133cm for an eye-watering £47.53.
If the toilet and poo floats are all a bit too much for you, B&M is also selling a mermaid and unicorn floats this year - just to mention a few.
Most read in money
In other exciting pool float options, Amazon is selling an avocado version where you can remove the stone to use as a beach ball.
You can also get giant white wings to really look angelic on holiday for only £15.
If you have little ones, you'll want to check out the four Disney floats on sale at Primark.

What makes the crime genre so popular
Crime fiction is one of the best selling genres and the most borrowed from public libraries. So what is it that makes crime fiction so popular? Well apart from being a cracking good read, in crime fiction we know that generally speaking justice will be done and the case will be resolved and that doesn't always happen in real life.
In crime fiction the villain either gets caught or gets his/her comeuppance but in real life the evil and manipulative, the guilty can get away with it as in the case of the unsolved murder in my own family in 1959 that of my great aunt, Martha Giles.
Crime fiction can give us a resolution. It can also give us an insight into what makes people tick.
One of the reasons I believe crime fiction is popular is because people are fascinated by human behaviour. Sometimes we are warmed by the actions of others and at other times horrified and appalled by it. I am interested in personalities, behaviour and motivation. What is it that makes people do the things they do?
I also enjoy a puzzle to solve, a crime to investigate and a mystery to unravel and that's what I enjoy writing. I also like plenty of action and tension. When reading a crime novel I like to pit my wits against the protagonist or the detective and see if I can solve the crime before he or she can. When writing my own police procedural crime novels featuring the rugged and flawed DI Andy Horton I often don't know who did it, why, where or when until I am writing the novel. As the characters begin to develop and their personalities and motivations become clearer then I begin to unravel the crime.
The same goes for my new series hero, Art Marvik. a former Royal Marine Commando, who becomes attached to work undercover for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad (NIMS)
Crime fiction covers so many facets of human nature. The same for true crime. It's a kind of voyeurism, the ghoul factor that causes people to stand and gawp at an accident or incident. Me though, I'm a real coward. I run a mile from reading true crime. Give me crime fiction any day where I can see that justice is served and my heroes triumphs!

Akinwumi Adesina Starts Work As President of AfDB
He was sworn in by Zambia's Finance Minister and Chair of the Board of Governors, Alexander Chikwanda at a ceremony in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
"I consider this duty with a great sense of responsibility, with enthusiasm, devotion, and total engagement," Adesina said in his speech. "Today, I can well support myself on the strong and deep structures built by the founders of the African Development Bank, and I am inspired by the great work that [the bank] has done in Africa."
Adesina went on to speak of his mission as President and the five priorities he has laid out, to "light up and power Africa. Feed Africa. Integrate Africa. Industrialise Africa. Improve quality of life for the people of Africa."
Speaking on the state of the continent, he emphasised that inclusive growth would be a critical part of AfDB's strategy.
"While Africa's economies are growing, inequality is increasing all over our continent. The sparkle in the eyes of the fortunate few is drowned by the sense of exclusion by the majority. Hundreds of millions of people are left behind. Most of them are women and our young people. They do not feel the impact of economic growth in their lives. Our collective challenge is to drive inclusive growth – growth that will lift millions out of poverty. Africa can no longer be content with simply managing poverty. For our future and the future of our children, we must eliminate it," Adesina said.
"Our collective destiny is tied to breaking down the barriers separating us. From large to small nations, from countries on the coast to those far inland, from the island states that depend on the blue economy, to states coming out of conflicts with resilience and determination, our aspirations are the same – to deliver quality growth and development and to see all Africans prosper," he continued, saying that high-quality regional infrastructure, particularly in transport, will be key to building both intra-African and global trade as well as new business.
He also spoke about reducing fragility risks, especially through customised support to fragile and post-conflict states. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea's ongoing recovery from Ebola was mentioned as an example of strong political will rising to face challenges in fragile environments.
On powering Africa, he said that the bank would launch a 'New Deal on Energy for Africa' in which the public and private sector needed to come together on both conventional and renewable power investments.
He added that the private sector needs to be built up, including the development of financial markets and private capital markets to improve access to finance for SMEs. Financial and private sector development will be critical in leveraging the agriculture sector, the main crux of Adesina's vision.
"Africa must feed itself. It is inconceivable that a continent with abundant arable land, water, diverse agro-ecological richness and sunshine is a net food- importing region. And Africa has 65 per cent of all the arable land left in the world to meet the food needs of nine billion people on the planet by 2050. This is a huge untapped potential and Africa cannot eat potential," he said.
A number of Adesina's projects as Nigeria's Minister of Agriculture and private sector players such as the Rockefeller Foundation have focused on making agriculture an efficient business and smart investment.
"We must think differently: grow agriculture as a business, to become a wealth-creating sector, not one for managing poverty. This will excite the youths to see agriculture as a viable business. By moving away from exporting primary commodities, to developing agro-allied industrial zones in rural areas, Africa will expand its ability to export processed cocoa not cocoa beans, processed coffee not coffee beans, textile instead of cotton," he said.
Adesina went on to lay out his vision of the Bank under his leadership.
"We will be more than a lending institution. We will build a highly competitive, world-class knowledge-driven Bank, to provide top-notch policy and advisory services to countries and the private sector. We will become a true development institution with measurable impacts on the lives of Africans," he said, highlights plans for decentralisation and a merit-based system that would attract the best professionals on the continent to the Bank.
"The African Development Bank must march forward with a new resolve. The development finance landscape is changing rapidly – and the African Development Bank must change with the times. We must remain competitive. And we must lead," he said.

AbstractGlioma relies on glycolysis to obtain energy and sustain its survival under low glucose microenvironment in vivo. The mechanisms on glioma cell glycolysis regulation are still unclear. Signaling mediated by Double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) - like ER kinase (PERK) is one of the important pathways of unfolded protein response (UPR) which is comprehensively activated in cancer cells upon the hypoxic and low glucose stress. Here we show that PERK is significantly activated in human glioma tissues. PERK silencing results in decreased glioma cell viability and ATP/lactate production upon low glucose stress, which is mediated by partially blocked AKT activation and subsequent inhibition of Hexokinase II (HK2)'s mitochondria translocation. More importantly, PERK silenced glioma cells show decreased tumor formation capacity. Our results reveal that PERK activation is involved in glioma glycolysis regulation and may be a potential molecular target for glioma treatment.

Spent a great day in services for the Jewish New Year with a dear friend, Rochelle Geller in upstate New York at the synagogue in Woodstock.
It was a great day of reflection and the service was wonderful and very different from any other service I have attended in all the Rosh Hashanah services I have been to and there have been many!
Two messages ring so true to me– Gratitude and Tolerance.
Gratitude for all we have in life and saying thank you with every breath.–a great exercise to put into practice!
Tolerance in that we won't love everyone in our life yet we need find ways in both our professional and personal life to get along better and to find ways to show tolerance in all situations.
A wonderful Fall day and I'm very grateful for all that I have in life and wishing strong blessings to every person who I know and have ever known.
Happy new year to all.

PML (N) Quaid Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said his party is a representative party of all segments of the society including the poor and middle class and that it had worked for every Pakistani without any discrimination in the past.
Addressing a delegation of party workers from Khyber Pakhtunkhawa province here on Friday, he vehemently criticized the federal government's policies saying people are facing great difficulties due to erroneous policies and priorities of the government. " In such circumstances, the PML (N) will not leave the people alone," he said adding his party will not refrain from rendering any sacrifice for the cause of people.
The PML (N) Quaid said that in the wake of February 2008 elections, restoration of judiciary and constitution, elimination of corruption and electricity crisis and resolution of masses problems were the top most priorities of the PML (N). However, the federal government wasted two years in the restoration of judiciary and constitution.
" Every day dawns with a new scandal while corruption is also on the rise", Sharif regretted. He said the government should implement Supreme Court's decision as non-compliance is adding woes of the people.
The PML (N) Quaid was of the view that the government would not have faced difficulties today if it had repealed 17th amendment forthwith in accordance with the Charter of Democracy while resolving other matters through the 19th amendment.
He noted that remnants of Parvez Musharraf are trying to spread anarchy in Hazara and they have been left scot-free in this regard. " Our Party will make every possible effort for the rights of the people of Hazara.
Nawaz Sharif directed the party workers and leaders to rise above the personal interests and stand shoulder to shoulder with Chief of Organizing committee Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan for putting the party on strong footings in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa. Appreciating the sacrifices rendered by the people of the province, he said his party, on priority basis, would address the problems of backward areas including Hazara after coming into power

Where have you been my Frosty Friend?
The calendar was moving towards mid-January and still winter had not blown great guns during a season it usually holds tight in a grip of frozen mire.
Missing was the shriek of the bitter northeast gale, and the fitful snows that ride fast and furious on its shoulders. Absent too were thick blankets of ice that banish the free-flowing waters of rivers and harbors from sight.
In the back of my snow-starved mind, I even questioned whether "Old Man Winter's" frosty countenance might simply pass us by. Was it possible? The thought was unthinkable.
For though we can grow weary of winter's long, hard stay by March, there is still a strange fondness for a season that imposes its will upon us in such an influential manner. A coastal Maine winter simply isn't – well winter, without healthy doses of Arctic air, gales to spare and of course, snow. Some years, lots of the white stuff too!
But alas, winter lives!
By no means did this force of the north knock in the doors during its most impressive showing to date on January 12, 2012, but "Old Man Winter," and his pal "Jack Frost," did deliver a solid punch over a period of four days that reminded many that Maine's cold-blue season still has plenty of bite.
The above average temperatures squatting on winter's turf up until now were finally sent packing by a northeast gale born of brisk air. The storm on the twelfth stirred the seas and filled the skies with dashes of white, dropping a total of two to five inches of snow along the coast before it moved out to sea.
Admittedly the snow totals were modest, but the fact that we actually received a measurable snowfall this winter season was reason enough to celebrate – at least for those who like snow or who earn their living when it piles up.
On the heels of the gale came the next chilling encounter as Arctic air swept down from Canada. The icy grip of "Jack Frost" took a firm hold of the Maine coast on January 15 and 16, sending the mercury plummeting to near zero and wind chills even lower into the minus teens.
The results were starkly bone-chilling.
The blast of cold air became more daunting to cope with thanks to northwest winds that blew without feeling – or at least a comfortable feeling that is. The sting of these gusty drafts was unforgiving on any and all exposed skin, to the point where even the hardiest of resolves was tested in the face of this relentless force.
For those who go down to the sea, there simply was no place to hide. Air temperatures in the single digits and water temps around forty degrees teamed up to ensure that the mystery of Arctic sea smoke would burn cold for two days.
But what a show it was!
The restless vapor may be in a constant state of dissipation when it manifests itself on the water, yet for brief moments, its movements are as uncontainable as they are riveting. Doused in morning sunlight, the vapor becomes soaked in pinks, oranges and yellows, all of which lends a hand to the sea assuming an unearthly appearance – even fire-like.
Such a scene would inspire the imagination to further contemplate the fascinating choreography of this Arctic-borne vapor, if not for the bitterness that envelops the air. Instead, a front row seat by the sea is one that cannot be occupied for long without enduring ever-rising levels of discomfort. The same air that gives life to the sea smoke also wages a war of attrition on one's ability and determination to ward off its effects.
Still, I for one would have it no other way.
Every ounce of discomfort is well worth the opportunity to admire winter's dramatic beauty – and to ponder its bitter but regal personality. At least for a couple of months more, may the northeast gale blow strong and the fingers of ice encase both river and ledge – and of course, let it snow, let it snow!
So my frosty friend – better late than never!

This will help you to have ample time to decide on the best school which will suit your autistic kids' needs as well as your budget.

Gum disease healed! Dentist says "No problems."
And when I went to pay, they didn't bill me for a periodontal cleaning. With my Employers Dental Services discount plan, the bill was $12 for about 1 1/2 hours in the office. It's almost embarrassing to walk out having paid so little.
I could not believe it. My gum disease is past. I still don't believe it. I asked him if my bony lumps are regrowth, and he confirmed that they are.
Anyway, rejoice with me, and read the story of my home care success with sonic brushing, waterpik irrigation, water swishing, and fasting. Search this blog for gum disease or click the "receding gum disease periodontitis" label link on the side.

Fantastic! Congratulations.
Can you tell me whether you have had periodontal procedures, e.g. root planing, scaling etc, besides periodontal cleaning? Thank you.
- December 20, 2012 at 4:55 PM
- Thomas Gail Haws said...
I've never been told by a dentist that I was having root planing or scaling. However, I was charged for periodontal cleaning every time I went to Bright Now Dental (about four times, and about every 6 to 12 months). Based on some quick research just now, it looks like periodontal cleanings involve root planing and scaling, and usually are done a quadrant or two of the mouth at a time. But my cleanings never spanned multiple visits, and never seemed to take extra long (in fact, the cleaning I had on the day mentioned above seemed to be the longest cleaning ever). Add to that uncertainty the fact that this Bright Now Dental office seemed to be always trying to upsell me on more expensive work (which is why I left them). In the end, I am still uncertain about how to answer your question. So unfortunately I can't tell you authoritatively yes or no.

Thanks, Jen. I think the pleasant and enjoyable, pampering nature of using the WaterPik really makes a difference. Flossing feels like nightly torture. WaterPik irrigation feels like a nightly visit to the spa.

I described the waterpik irrigation feels like a quick dental cleaning at the dentist...nightly! I'm looking forward to my next cleaning in 4 months to see if I have even more progress! It's crazy, many aren't a fan of the dentist, and now with adding your suggestions I look forward to my next appt in January!

Recipe Notes for Chicken Casserole:
Here are a couple of tips to ensure that you're Chicken Casserole is at its best.
Broccoli: Make sure that the frozen broccoli is thoroughly thawed and well drained. If you get too eager to get your Chicken Stuffing Casserole in the oven, the added water from the freezing process will thin out the wonderful sauce and compromise the overall texture.
Marinating: If you decide to go with chicken breasts instead of rotisserie chicken, and you want to marinate the chicken first, don't let it sit in the marinade for more than a couple of hours. It's going to be cooked twice after marinating, and you don't want it to get so tender that it's mushy.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole
I love it when the name of a dish tells you everything you need to know. Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole has a combo to rival bacon and mushrooms – bacon and ranch dressing. What is it about mixing up your own ranch dressing? Sooo much better than from a bottle!
With just about any of these chicken casserole recipes, you can customize to your heart's desire.
If it's a baked pasta dish, mix it up with what you have in the pantry – rotini, shells, bowties, and more! No pasta? No problem! Sub with rice – and brown rice will work, too. You could even go with another grain, such as quinoa.
A few of these can be zinged up with some lemon or lime, too. As far as the chicken goes…rotisserie, chicken breasts, or boil and pull your own chicken for (almost) chicken and stuffing casserole from scratch.
You can also opt to marinate chicken breasts before baking, or brown in a skillet first. Just make sure you don't overcrowd the pan, so that the chicken browns and doesn't steam.
