Hooters itself seems to be struggling, so we don't really know how the segment as a whole is doing.
What we do know is that the industry structure is shifting to one less dominated by a single firm. And, as ever, that kind of shift has implications for vendors and other complementary firms. For example, there turns out to be such a thing as BreastaurantUniforms.com, which wants to supply your restaurant's staff with attire. In a marketplace monopolized by Hooters, there obviously isn't much of a market for this sort of service. You're basically just talking about commodity apparel makers negotiating with a centralized purchasing office. But smaller firms are much more likely to be willing to pay a modest premium to a firm that specializes in providing services to the niche.
UPDATE: Frustratingly, the AP didn't say what the three chains were, and the Technomic report is proprietary. As best I can tell, Twin Peaks and Tilted Kilt are the other market leaders in this category, but I don't know what the third is or exactly how Technomic defines the segment.

Q: Is there a way to programmatically request one-time keys for multiple Corda Testnet nodes? I've looked at this existing Q&A around deploying multiple nodes on the Corda Testnet. I'm looking at automating deployment of multiple nodes but there seems to be no way documented in the AWS quickstart for Corda Testnet to grab this line:
sudo ONE_TIME_DOWNLOAD_KEY=YOUR_UNIQUE_DOWNLOAD_KEY_HERE bash -c "$(curl -L https://onboarder.prod.ws.r3.com/api/user/node/TESTNET/install.sh)"

I can think of one way, involving headless Chromium perhaps to automate the task of grabbing the OTK.

A: Unfortunately, we do not support this currently. One of the reason is that there are a significant amount of active nodes in the testnet. We don't want use to spam the network.

Nathan Haddad
A New York man was arrested for carrying ammunition magazines that were banned under a law not yet enacted?
Claim: A New York man was arrested for carrying ammunition magazines that were banned under a law not yet enacted.
Examples: [Collected via Facebook, January 2013]
Facebook Post:
Staff Sgt. Nathan Haddad a decorated combat veteran has been arrested and charged with five counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon, for having empty 30 round AR-15 Magazines in his vehicle.
On Sunday January 6th Staff Sgt. Nathan Haddad, was driving through Jefferson County New York when he was randomly pulled over for a vehicle check. Haddad, who had five 30 round empty magazines in his possession,
was arrested by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department and charged with five felony counts.
According to Haddad's brother, Michael Haddad, Nathan thought these magazines were legally made before the New York Assault Weapons Ban. When Nathan Haddad was arrested the new ban had not even been fully enacted yet.
This is not a criminal, this is not some thug looking to hurt people; this is a decorated combat veteran who was recently honored by the Philadelphia chapter of Blue Star Mothers and the Union League's Armed Services Council for helping disabled vets get back on their feet.
Here we have a man who honorably served his country, who was trusted with weaponry that far exceeded anything he was carrying, that now finds himself facing the possibility of spending years in prison.
Origins: This item about the arrest of Nathan Haddad originated on the Off Grid Survival web site with a post stating that he had been pulled over for a "random" vehicle check and was arrested for having five empty ammunition magazines in his possession, even though the law that made possessing such magazines illegal had not yet been enacted.
It is true that Nathan Haddad was arrested on 6 January 2013, as a few local news accounts stated he had been taken into custody for "possessing high-capacity magazines for an assault rifle":
A town of LeRay man was accused Sunday of possessing high-capacity magazines for an assault rifle.
Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies say 32 year old Nathan Haddad allegedly had five 30-round magazines for an AR-15 rifle in his possession.
Police say the magazines were found during a vehicle check on Steinhilber Road in the town of LeRay.
Haddad was charged with five counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon and arraigned in Watertown town court.
Whether his arrest was justified and in accordance with the law is something that cannot be determined until more details of the circumstances are disclosed. The item cited above states that "Nathan thought these magazines were legally made before the New York Assault Weapons Ban" and that "When Nathan Haddad was arrested the new ban had not even been fully enacted yet." However, back in the 1990s New York had enacted a ban on magazines with capacities greater than ten rounds (excluding those manufactured prior to 4 September 1994), and the additional gun control measures passed by that state in January 2013 (which take effect in April 2013) simply lowered the limit on magazine size from ten rounds to seven. Since this item states that Haddad had five 30-round magazines in his possession, it would appear from the limited available information that he was in fact in violation of a long-standing law and not a recently passed one that had not yet been enacted.

Robert M. Finley Middle School has accepted the challenge of helping to find a cure for blood cancer. This year, over a span of three weeks, students were able to collectively raise $776.71 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society during the Pennies for Patients fundraiser. Ms. Meredith Murolo's eighth-grade homeroom was the leader, raising $131.37 to contribute towards the very worthy cause. For their efforts, they received a pizza lunch donated from Domino's Pizza.


"Paddle" poses for the reader two different sorts of movement: the regular stroke of the solitary canoeist, and the irregular observations and fanciful thoughts that drift occasionally into the canoeist's mind. The canoeist is not thinking very hard, not much is happening, and the poem has no "message" or symbolic content. Just a nice few hours out on the water!

Held at the Estabrooke Hall on Sept. 14, the Study Abroad Fair offers information for students looking to take their studying overseas. Photo by Evan Loignon, Staff.
On Thursday, Sept. 14, University of Maine students of all majors gathered at the study abroad fair. They learned about a wide array of opportunities available to those who wish to study in a foreign country.
Tables covered in flyers, informative pamphlets and email lists filled the Estabrooke Hall ballroom walls. Program representatives and staff members work together to guide students to a program that suits their needs and to learn a little bit more about studying abroad.
Students began their way around the fair at the UMaine Study Abroad tables, which offered information about the application process and direct exchange. These tables also introduced them to student peer advisors, students who have already studied abroad.
Robyn Estes was offered a job as a student peer advisor after studying abroad in Costa Rica.
While the most popular destinations for UMaine students are Australia and the U.K., UMaine offers over 700 programs in 79 countries.
Last year, UMaine granted $63,000 in scholarships and 85 percent of all study abroad students received aid.
Many students believe that studying abroad will set them back academically; however, many programs work in tandem with your degree. Some majors even allow you to study abroad for up to three semesters.
"The next step after this is to have a meeting with a peer advisor. Between all of us, we have a wealth of knowledge, and we can help you prepare for the rest of your college career," Estes said.
The rest of the tables hosted the eight secular exchange programs that work with UMaine to get students out into the world. Each program had one or two representatives who were ready to help students find the right program.
Wanda Dutton, a representative from School of International Training (SIT) Study Abroad, believes study abroad fairs are critical to getting students involved.
"They give students a good picture of all of their options, as well as sparking that idea and desire to go abroad. It gives them the whole world in one room," Dutton said.
Typical program options include direct exchange programs, recommended programs, internships abroad, research abroad, student-teaching abroad and travel study courses.
Students have a lot to consider when deciding which program is best for them. Variables such as how long a student might like to be abroad, their course of study and desired location will dictate which programs may be best suited for them. The deadlines to apply are Oct. 15 for spring programs and Feb. 20 for summer and fall programs.

Would you like to see year round aquatic facilities in the Mudgee region?
Mudgee residents recently had the chance to have a say on the future of the region as part of the Mid-Western Regional Council's engagement for the 2030 Community Strategic Plan.
The council has been reviewing all of the feedback they've received and have identified some key projects and initiatives that are worth investigating further.
One of the many priorities that was identified by the community was the delivery of all year round aquatic facilities in the region.
The council wants to further explore this idea and they are looking for further feedback.
The council is interested to know the future preference that people have for aquatic facilities in the region and what people would want included if an indoor aquatic centre were built. They're also interested in knowing how often people would use an aquatic centre if one were available.
We're sure a lot of people living in the region would love to have access to an aquatic facility all year round, so if you're one of them then make sure you have your say and make your voice count.
You can share your thoughts by completing a survey on the Mid-Western Regional Council website.
For all further details about the 2030 Community Strategic Plan and community feedback, contact the Mid-Western Regional Council on 1300 765 002.

Planning on spending the rest of the summer in the water? Take advantage of discounted season tickets at Kandos and Gulgong pools.
Both pools are offering 40 per cent off of the normal price of season tickets due to delays in opening the pools this year.
Kandos pool needed to be retiled and a disabled access ramp was installed at Gulgong pool as part of a council initiative to improve access for all residents at regional facilities.
The renovations coupled with unprecedented rainfall and construction issues during winter led to a delay in the pools' regular opening.
But now that all of the pools in the region are open, it's time to head along and enjoy a dip.
Studies have shown that swimming has many valuable health and psychological benefits that can't be achieved from other activities. Swimming also has a number of safety benefits for children and adults, such as increasing water awareness and lifesaving skills.
Plus, swimming is also a heap of fun and an easy way to cool down when the temperatures get too high in Mudgee.
The region's pools are for all ages and they are fully supervised by qualified staff with additional lifeguards on duty during the school holidays.
Discounted tickets are available to Kandos and Gulgong Pools only, with Mudgee pool still offering regular pricing.
To find out about opening hours and prices visit www.midwestern.nsw.gov.au/community–recreation/Swimming-pools.

Mid-Western Regional Council is looking at turning the former Mudgee Bowling Club into a seniors living facility.
According to an article in the Mudgee Guardian, the council voted unanimously to investigate the possibility of turning the old club into a seniors style living facility, after having recently purchased the site between Burrundulla Avenue and George Street.
In the article, Mayor Des Kennedy said the strategic investment is intended to create some opportunities for developing own-source income – a requirement under the Fit for Future framework for Local Government.
"We're a quickly aging population and we are going to run short of aged care facilities into the future," Cr Kennedy said.
The proposed development is not to be confused with a nursing home. The plans are for the aged living facility to be an option for older residents to live independently in a community environment, while also being in close proximity to the centre of town.
There are still questions over the viability of the facility and whether it will be able to produce an income to support itself while also meeting community needs. These questions will be part of the council's investigations.
The council will develop a master plan for an independent living development at the site, and no doubt the Mudgee community will be given a chance to provide feedback at some stage during the investigation period, and point out any issues or opportunities that the development might present.
It's important that those who have opinions or would like to provide feedback on the development to stay up to date with any news and have a say when given the opportunity.
To stay-up-to-date with council news and what is happening at council meetings, visit www.midwestern.nsw.gov.au.
It's also worth following council on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MWRCouncil, so you don't miss out on any important announcements that might be relevant to you.

Every four years, the Mid-Western Regional Council reviews and updates the Community Plan. They're in the process of updating the plan right now and local residents are being encouraged to have their say on it.
The Mid-Western Region Towards 2030 Community Plan sets out the community's vision for the future. The plan becomes a guideline for the council when deciding on new developments and projects for the region.
The plan sets out where we are now, where we want to be, and the steps needed to get there.
The Mid-Western region continues to grow and change. We live in a region experiencing unprecedented growth in industry and population, fuelled largely by the global demand for resources. Our region is also home to a significant agricultural sector and continued growth of tourism, which presents unique challenges and opportunities for the community.
It's important that we meet these challenges and harness every opportunity we can to help our region prosper.
The Towards 2030 Community Plan was developed with extensive consultation with the community in which over 3000 residents provided input.
A Resourcing Strategy including Long Term Financial Plan, Workforce Strategy and Asset Management Planning together with a Delivery Program, Operation Plan and Annual Report will complete the reporting framework.
It's important that the Mudgee and Mid-Western region continues to be a place we want to call home. If you want to view the Towards 2030 Community Plan and provide feedback then visit the Mid Western Regional Council website – www.midwestern.nsw.gov.au.

Local businesses are being encouraged to register on a new online system that will make it easier for the Mid-Western Regional Council and other organisations to find local suppliers.
Called MarketPlace, the system will provide a one-stop shop of local suppliers and will be the place for council staff to go to when they need to find a supplier.
The council spent $32.7 million on contractors and materials last financial year and we're sure that most in the community will agree that this money is best spent on local businesses where it can be, and this new system will help the council do just that.
The online MarketPlace system is specifically for non-tendered items less than $150,000.
Council will use the system to obtain quotes and engage suppliers on an ad hoc basis, and local businesses that register will also be exposed to other organisations across New South Wales who use the system.
The system will provide the best way for council to ensure there are as many opportunities as possible available for local businesses.
It's free to register on MarketPlace, all you need to do is follow the links on the Mid-Western Regional Council website to Business > Doing Business With Us, and read the relevant information and select the appropriate category to register as a supplier.
There are 70 different categories on MarketPlace that businesses can register under.
With 2,561 businesses in the Mid-Western Region, we're sure there are many that can benefit from the new system, so take the time to go and register.

Mid-Western Regional Council's budget for the 2016/17 financial year has been finalised and it includes a number of major projects set to improve local roads and amenities.
The $58 million budget includes a $43,774 million program towards capital works in the local region. The bad news however is that local residents will be paying more to help fund this year's spending, with a rate increase of 1.8 per cent across all rate categories.
A total of $23.29 million roads budget.
The council also voted on whether or not to fund improvements to the off-leash dog park at Glen Willow, as we mentioned in our blog last week, and decided on spending $10,000 to upgrade the park. A further $10,000 was will also be used for improvements at the Gulgong Dog Park.
For further details about this year's budget and future plans for the area, contact the Mid-Western Regional Council.

Jata Sattu: An Ancient Tradition Giving Women A Livelihood, And Making Us Healthier!
Women in rural Nalanda are popularizing the use of a traditional grinding stone to pound flour out of roasted gram, providing a healthier alternative to machine-ground sattu and earning a livelihood for themselves. Mohd Imran Khan takes a closer look.
by Village Square November 25, 2017, 11:40 am
Sunita Devi works hard for about six hours a day, not only to earn her livelihood but also to provide healthful food for the local markets and beyond. Sunita, in her early 50s, along with over a dozen women of Nehusa village in Harnaut administrative block of Nalanda district, use jata, a traditional grinding stone, to make sattu (roasted gram) and earn money with dignity.
In Bihar and parts of Uttar Pradesh, sattu is a popular food item. Several traditional dishes including the popular litti-chokha and kachauri are made with it. People in rural as well as in urban areas drink sattu sherbet during summer. Once known as poor man's staple food, sattu is costly now, branded sattu being sold at Rs 150 per kilo.
Jata, a traditional grinding stone used to grind dry food items, has virtually become a tool of the past, about to be relegated to the museum. Till a few decades ago, it was an important tool in every rural household. Women like Sunita are giving jata a new lease of life by making sattu with it. This sattu with a traditional touch is called jata sattu.
Sudha Devi, Veena Devi, Amita Devi and Manju Devi belong to a group of nearly 30 women making jata sattu at the common facility centre of Khistiz Agrotech Pvt Ltd at Nehusa. "We have installed more than 30 jatas and provide the raw material to the women," Gaurav Kumar, manager of Khistiz Agro told VillageSquare.in.
After electrification of villages, jatas gave way to electric grinders. "With spices to sattu readily available in markets, there was hardly any use for jata," said Pappu Sharma, who installed most of the jatas. Even in the houses that had jata, young women hardly used it, though vouching for the superior taste of spices and grains ground in a jata. "One jata costs Rs 1,200. It's made with a different strong stone to sustain for a long time," Sharma told VillageSquare.in. "Jata is not available locally anymore. All jatas were brought from outside the state."
Livelihood for women
Most of the women working in Nehusa are from Sherpur village, while a few are from the neighbouring Kheuari, which is close to Kalyanbigha, native village of Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Belonging to self-help groups (SHGs), the women are known as jeevika didis (livelihood sisters) since their SHGs were formed under Jeevika, the Bihar government's rural livelihood program.
In the last 18 months, hundreds of jeevika didis from different parts of Nalanda district have been trained in Nehusa to make jata sattu. Uma Shankar Bhagat, Jeevika district project manager in Nalanda, said making of jata sattu is a livelihood for many women. "The main purpose of producing jata sattu is to provide work to rural women and to supply pure and healthy jata sattu to urban people," she told VillageSquare.in.
"We get Rs 25 for making 1 kg of jata sattu. We earn Rs 200 to Rs 250 per day," said Amita, a school dropout. "We clean the gram thoroughly, soak it in water for an hour, roast it lightly and grind in the jata," said Sunita.
"Production varies from day to day," said Anita Devi, who is associated with Jeevika. Sunita said that they earned more during winter. "During summer or even during humid monsoons, it is difficult to work continuously, and so we can't earn more," Sunita told VillageSquare.in. Sunita and her colleagues sing folk songs to speed up their labour-intensive work.
Manju makes jata sattu for two or three hours after finishing her household work. "There are a few like me who work as per their free time to earn some money." "Before I started making jata sattu, I had to depend on my husband for even Rs 10 to purchase something for myself. Now that I earn, I fulfil my needs as well as my children's," said Amita.
Under NABARD's Livelihood & Enterprise Development Program (LEDP), nearly 150 SHG members were trained in making jata sattu at Madhopur farmer producer company in Ananthpur village of Chandi administrative block. The common facility centre in Ananthpur has been promoted for production and packaging.
Current and desired markets
Gaurav Kumar said, "We purchase locally available maghi gram, popularly known as dehati chana, for making jata sattu." It is sold in attractive packs of 250 gm to 1 kg in eco-friendly containers in different stores of Patna.
Bipin Kumar, a Jeevika field official, admitted that lack of market is a problem. "Unless there are a high demand and availability of big market, jata sattu production will not increase," he told VillageSquare.in.
Anita Devi said that due to lack of market, it was difficult to engage more women on a regular basis. "I am desperate for markets in Bihar, across the country or even abroad to supply jata sattu regularly," she told VillageSquare.in. "Government should also help us promote it."
"In urban places like Patna, handmade sattu is rare since jata is no longer in use. So we are trying to promote the jata sattu," said Bhagat. Jata sattu is used in Jeevika canteen in Bihar Sharif, district headquarters of Nalanda.
"Jata sattu is pure and fresh; there is no chance of adulteration since we handle the packaging also," said Amita, The women wear caps, masks and gloves to ensure hygiene. According to Bhagat, the heat released during grinding is much lower compared with machine grinding, and hence, the flavour, texture and natural aroma are retained.

"When sattu is made in a machine, nutrients are lost, but not when made in a jata," N. K. Singh, agriculture scientist at Krishi Vigayan Kendra, Harnaut told VillageSquare.in. He said that good quality grams produced organically by local farmers are used to make jata sattu. "Use of jata sattu is good for diabetes, constipation and weakness. Jata sattu drink doesn't cost much and gives instant energy," reputed physician and former union health minister C. P. Thakur told VillageSquare.in.
According to Kundan Kumar, who as Deputy Development Commissioner of Nalanda initiated the program, before joining as District Magistrate of Banka district, quoted women as saying jata sattu helped them become healthier. "Making jata sattu is the best way of exercise for women, especially for those suffering from gastric or pain-related problems," he told VillageSquare.in.
Bhagat said many women are engaged in making jata sattu at several places in Nalanda. "Our plan is to engage more women for making it." Bipin said Jeevika plans to set up jata at different other places in the district for making of jata sattu to create more opportunity for women."
According to Singh, promotion of jata sattu would benefit local farmers growing gram as they would not need to look for traders to sell their produce. "Jata sattu has been branded Nalanda Sattu, after UNESCO declared Nalanda University a World Heritage Site," said Kundan Kumar.
Since jata sattu is being made in other districts and will be made in Banka district too, Kundan Kumar said, to sell it, they are in talks with big food chains in metros. "We are trying to sell it online through Amazon also," he told VillageSquare.in. "We also plan to make jata sattu in different flavours in attractive packaging as a health snack or drink to attract youth to one of the traditional foods of India."

Perennial nationally-ranked teams will once again compete in the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout. The 2018 tournament, set for November 23 and 24 in fun-filled Las Vegas, includes a slate of eight squads: Arizona State, Baylor, Buffalo, Georgetown, Hartford, Louisville, South Dakota State and Southern Illinois. The 2018 South Point Shootout takes place at the four-star South Point Hotel and Casino, a spacious resort that offers fans a wide range of family-friendly entertainment from movies to bowling. Fan room rates will be available at a later date.
Despite not having any seniors last season, Arizona State tied the school records for consecutive NCAA appearances and 20-win seasons. The young Sun Devils exceeded expectations in a season of rebuilding, finishing with a 22-13 record. Under coach Charli Turner Thorne, the winningest coach in ASU history, the Sun Devils earned wins over three teams that advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
After winning their ninth Big 12 Tournament title in March, the Baylor Lady Bears entered the NCAAs as a No. 2 seed and ranked No. 2 in the nation. Not surprisingly, the team had a good run before falling in the Sweet Sixteen, ending their season at 33-2. The Lady Bears return seven letter winners including Kalani Brown, the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year and Lauren Cox, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. In addition, the team has the nation's top recruiting class and adds Chloe Jackson, a graduate transfer from LSU. Jackson participated in last season's South Point Shootout tallying 23 points in a win vs. Saint Louis.
Buffalo's amazing 2017-18 season began with a bang as the Bulls knocked off two Power Five conference teams, Nebraska and Clemson, at the San Juan Shootout last November. The Bulls finished the historic season under coach Felisha Legette-Jack at 29-6 after falling to the 2017 NCAA National Champion South Carolina Gamecocks in the Sweet Sixteen. The Bulls stunned the nation as an 11th seed taking down higher ranked teams in the early rounds of the tournament. Buffalo returns leading scorer Cierra Dillard for the 2018-19 campaign.
Under first-year head coach James Howard, Georgetown made history in 2017-18 by advancing to the Big East Tournament semifinals for the first time in 19 seasons. The Hoyas also made it to the second round of the WNIT for the first time since 2009. The squad returns leading scorer Dionna White and adds Nikola Kovacikova, a member of the Slovak women's national team.
Under third-year head coach Kim McNeill, Hartford finished 2017-18 with a 19-14 record, the most wins for the team since the 2012-13 season. The Hawks reached the title game of the America East Tournament after downing the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. Hartford returns its leading scorer, rising senior Lindsey Abed, as well rising sophomore Jade Young who was named to the America East All-Rookie Team.
The Louisville Cardinals reached their third Final Four in 2017-18 finishing the season with a program-best 36-3 record. Head coach Jeff Walz was named the ACC Coach of the Year and will also lead the 2018 USA Basketball Women's U18 National Team at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in August. Louisville's stellar year was capped by the selection of senior forward Myisha Hines-Allen by the Washington Mystics in the WNBA Draft.
South Dakota State earned an automatic berth to the 2018 NCAA tournament after toppling the regular-season Summit League champions South Dakota in the conference tournament. The Jackrabbits finished the season with an outstanding 26-7 record. South Dakota State returners included the 2018 Summit League Player of the Year, guard Macy Miller, who only needs 171 points to become the program's career scoring leader.
Southern Illinois will enter 2018-19 on the heels of a fourth straight winning season. The Salukis finished last season with a 17-14 record and ended the season in the semifinals of the MVC Tournament after falling to top-seeded Drake. The young and promising team returns the bulk of its roster including leading scorer, forward Nicole Martin, and starting point guard Brittney Patrick.

I've had clients approach me about design work for printed promotion material or business stationery. When I've asked if they have a logo they happily supply me with the low quality jpg image designed by their web developer for a website. The file is not suitable for high resolution print production.
Unfortunately their web developer has no experience with print and cannot supply them with a suitable logo file. So I end up having to reproduce the logo in a high quality format which is an additional cost passed onto the client.
If the client had picked the right designer for the job they would only have had to pay for 1 logo, not 2.
This is almost the reverse of the first example. A sign writer designed a large, flashy logo for a client. It has lots of thin lines and swoopy details. It could have these because it is being printed on the side of a 30 foot billboard so there is plenty of room for all the different elements.
The client wanted the logo added to a new website. Websites cannot support overly complex logos as there is just not enough definition on a computer monitor to portray all the detail. So they have to get another one designed. Once again, more cost for the client.
The way to avoid these situations is to contact Martian first!
I have experience in producing logos and design work suitable across a wide range of media. Every logo i design is produced with all the standard forms of industrial production in mind. So you can be sure it will work on your signs, your cards, your website, your vehilce - everywhere!

Patson Daka: What Can Leicester City Expect From the latest Red Bull Star?
By NMsports / EPL / 1 Comment

2 Daka at Salzburg
3 Rodgers, Daka and Jamie Vardy

Leicester City's newest Fox revealed
After much speculation, Leicester City has announced the signing of Zambian forward Patson Daka on a five-year deal, with the fee rumoured to be around £23 million. The 22-year-old, formerly of Austrian champions RB Salzburg, has joined a growing list of high profile transfers from Red Bull academies including Sadio Mané and Erling Haaland. The youngster was previously tied to moves to other high profile European clubs, notably Liverpool.
Despite impressing scouts across Europe since his arrival in Austria, many Leicester fans may be unaware of the Zambian's ability, as the centre forward has yet to enter the English spotlight. How did Daka shine at Salzburg, and what does the signing mean for the Foxes? Can Brendan Rodgers make good use of his new forward to challenge for the Champions League (or more) again?
Daka at Salzburg
Salzburg fans must have been panicking in December 2019, when star talents Takumi Minamino and Erling Haaland departed after an explosive Champions League group stage drew the world's attention. There would prove to be no reason to worry, however, largely due to Patson Daka. After a promising youth career, Daka exploded onto the scene in 2019, contributing 27 goals and 12 assists to help his side retain the Austrian Bundesliga title in the 2019-20 season.
Leicester City have signed Patson Daka
The young forward dazzled with his ability, chiefly his lightning pace combined with the positional intelligence to use it. He could either burst through a defensive line retreating towards goal or convert a final pass or loose ball in the penalty area, leaving defenders questioning how to deal with him.
Patson Daka's numbers only increased in the following season: 34 goals and 12 assists in the 2020-21 season. There was clear development in the strikers game, threatening goals from a variety of positions and showing improvement with his head. His runs were forcing errors leading to penalties, and he could score penalties as well. RB Salzburg won another convincing title in that season and proved it wasn't missing its departed stars.
Of course, there were weaknesses to Daka's game at Salzburg which may carry on at Leicester. For a high scoring striker, his finishing was not as clinical as it could be, with a noticeable amount of scuffed shots in promising positions. This was masked somewhat by the number of chances created by the dominant Salzburg size.

Patson Daka showed signs of improvement in this regard along with the rest of his game over the 19-20 season, but it will need to further improve against the quality defences and goalkeepers of the premier league. A lack of physicality was also apparent, with Daka rarely engaging defenders and instead relying on his pace and touch. Again, the higher standard of defending (and faster defenders) will hamper his ability to do this as easily as in Austria.
Rodgers, Daka and Jamie Vardy
What awaits Daka at Leicester? The Zambian will join both a talented attacking roster at City and a manager with plenty of experience with youth players. Brendan Rodgers spent four years coaching the youth setup at Chelsea and has integrated youth well in his managerial posts, often tweaking his systems to match young talent.
We can clearly see this with Kieran Tierney at Celtic, who was allowed to drive high up the pitch from left-back with his teammates adjusting around him. Another example was Raheem Sterling at Liverpool, who slotted into a talented attack well in his breakout season under Rodgers without undermining the roles of Luis Suárez and Daniel Sturridge.
Daka's skillset – notably his pace and smart movement – are clearly reminiscent of Jamie Vardy. He could do well in the 'Vardy' role, feeding off the vertical passes from deep and finishing quicker balls that fall in the penalty area, a system Rodgers tailored specifically for Vardy.
The question of Vardy's longevity continues to loom at Leicester, and is a noticeable factor in the purchase of Daka. While Vardy continues to perform for the team there is cause for concern – he will be 35 next season and his injury niggles are increasing, particularly a repetitive groin problem. His numbers in front of goal are also in a slight decline, with his goal scoring record in the premier league this season his lowest since Leicester's title hangover season in 2016-17.

The Leicester attack
What about the other forwards in Leicester's squad? Kelechi Iheanacho finished last season in blazing goal scoring form, thriving as Rodgers went from a one striker system with Vardy to a two striker system, combining him with Iheanacho. The complementary style of the two forwards and Kelechi's success under this system means it is likely that Rodgers will at least attempt this system with Daka and Iheanacho. Daka had the ability to find teammates at Salzburg and could do so again here.
James Maddison and Youri Tielemans will also be important players for Daka, feeding him with the through balls and intricate passes that will prove his best chance for goals. Maddison in particular is an excellent passer with a wide passing range who can find Daka's forward runs, or use him as a decoy runner. Maddison and Vardy have an excellent relationship at Leicester and this should be an inspiration for him at his new club.
Minutes on the pitch will be vital for the Salzburg star to develop and he will need to learn Rodgers system and earn his trust before starting in important games. Fortunately, the long season ahead will provide plenty of opportunity despite the competition from the first team. Expect to see Daka feature in league cup and Europa League games as Rodgers manages the fitness of his attackers across a long season.
Daka has already performed in the Champions League with Salzburg so Europe shouldn't daunt the forward. He will also be the first to benefit from any injuries in the forward line, and Iheanacho will likely miss games due to AFCON next year
There is clearly a lot for the foxes to be excited about with Daka's signing, but with every transfer comes an option not taken. For Leicester, the purchase of Daka almost certainly means that Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard will remain in Scotland after heavy links from the midlands club.
READ: England: Serial Underachievers or Victims of Unrealistic Expectation?
Another young option with an excellent goal record, Rodgers had prior experience with Eduoard at Celtic and clearly rated him, paying £9 million for the Frenchman after a successful loan spell. Any hopes Rodgers had on splashing the cash for him again at Leicester were thwarted as the club was priced out by the additional cost of paying his old club, Paris Saint-Germain.
Eduoard has shown outstanding quality at Celtic, thriving under two very different styles of play – in Rodgers' own possession based system and later in Neil Lennon's less successful direct system. He is a player who likes to get involved in silky movement and build-up to pull defenders apart, and is also a very clinical finisher. His profile is very different to the much more direct Patson Daka.
Before Leicester fans get too jealous, the current situation may well suit all parties. Daka's numbers far outshines Eduoard over the 20-21 season, and Daka is more suited to Leicester's current system, with his ability to slot into Vardy's role. Leicester is already a team blessed with creative options and their priorities should be elsewhere, with a striker that leads the line. Eduoard is certainly not short of suitors aside from Leicester and will find his move eventually, and the extra year in Scotland under a new manager will surely help his development.
Daka at Leicester
We have seen what Leicester's latest transfer means for both Daka and the foxes. A stunning player at Salzburg, Leicester fans will watch the development of the Zambian with great interest as he settles into the new league. There is no certain, easy road for Daka here, as he will need to adapt quickly and improve on aspects of his game that were less than stellar in Austria.
He will have the help of a top coach and a top striker to understudy from however, and has shown the potential to thrive in the system Leicester uses. If he matches the development of similar Red Bull stars such as Mané, the £23 million spent on Daka may soon look like quite the steal.

NU-Q's Middle East Media Use Survey Reveals Changing Attitudes, Media Usage Patterns
Doha, Qatar – February 4, 2019 –Northwestern University in Qatar has released the results of its sixth annual Middle East Media Use survey on its interactive website, mideastmedia.org. The full report, in English and Arabic, will be released in March.
The comprehensive 2018 survey, which can be explored in detail via searchable charts, videos, and essays, looks at changes in media consumption patterns, attitudes and content preferences. The participating countries – Saudi Arabia (KSA), United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Tunisia – represent a cultural and geopolitical cross-section of the MENA region.
"NU-Q's annual media usage surveys are widely cited by scholars, industry experts, and other thought leaders who seek to explain regional developments to a broader audience," said Everette E. Dennis, dean and CEO of NU-Q. "Mideastmedia.org is an easily searchable, information-rich website for policy-makers, media professionals, and institutional leaders wanting to better understand a rapidly changing Middle East media environment. We believe the latest survey findings are illuminating and, in some cases, surprising."
The sixth annual media use survey was conducted face-to-face (phone in Qatar) among 7,635 respondents across seven countries. The survey was conducted by The Harris Poll from July 10 to December 30, 2018.
Key findings from the 2018 study include:
• Trust in mass media in most Arab countries in this study is falling, and in 2018 the share of nationals in Jordan and Tunisia (42 and 39 percent respectively) who trust their national media dropped below that reported by U.S. residents (45 percent).
• Fake news. More than half of Arab nationals in all countries surveyed say they come across political news stories online they think are mostly made up, either sometimes or often. Roughly three-quarters of Qataris, Lebanese, and Saudis say they come across patently false news items sometimes or often—similar to the rate in the United States (74 percent).
• More Saudi and Emirati internet users worry about online surveillance, either by companies (62 percent, 61 percent) or government (58 percent, 47 percent), compared to others. For example, only 16 percent of Qatari internet users are concerned about either online corporate or government surveillance. In contrast, 67 percent of Americans worry about corporate surveillance and 57 percent government surveillance.
• Arab nationals are more likely now than in 2014 to say films and TV content from the US and Europe are good for morality. Meanwhile, considerably fewer nationals say films and TV from Arab countries are good for morality.
• The percentage of VPN (Virtual Private Network) users spiked in Qatar (from 6 percent in 2016 to 39 percent in 2018) and Saudi Arabia (7 percent in 2016 to 54 percent in 2018), among internet users. In Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Tunisia, that figure remains at 10 percent or less.
• Among social media and messaging apps, 29 percent of nationals said WhatsApp provides the most privacy, although one in four (23 percent) said no platform affords privacy.
• Smartphone ownership rates are among the highest in the world, with ownership percentages higher in almost all surveyed countries than in the United States, where it is 77 percent. Nearly 100 percent of nationals in Qatar and UAE own a smartphone, as do more than nine in ten in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.
• More Arab nationals are watching TV online than in 2016, with Saudi Arabia home to the highest percentage of online viewers (51 percent). Majorities in the Gulf countries use streaming services, with Shahid the leader followed by Netflix.
• Binge-watching is also on the rise, with the most dramatic increase in Qatar where 54 percent report doing so in 2018, compared to only 24 percent in 2016.
• Soccer/football is by far the most popular sport to watch on TV or online. Two thirds of nationals reported watching soccer in the last 12 months (64 percent), likely influenced by the 2018 FIFA World Cup (watched by 63 percent of nationals).
NU-Q's annual media use survey – Media Use in the Middle East – is the only one of its kind in the region and one of the few such efforts in the world. It offers extensive and valuable intelligence about the media that people adopt, use, and prefer as well as their attitudes and opinions about the role, impact, and importance of mediated communication in their lives and the lives of others across the Middle East region.
The project receives funding from Qatar National Research Fund and the Doha Film Institute.

The Celebrations Committee will designate a pole to each request. If there is a particular pole that you would like to adopt to display your flag, please go to that pole and write the number down that you will find on the pole, find the building address closest to the pole and fill it in the above. Send a diagram if necessary.


In August 2017 Disney World announced the new Fantasmic! Dessert and VIP Viewing Experience offering. This "Experience" offers some nice snacks, a souvenir mug, and—at least on my visit to it in late September 2017, more on this point below—first come, first served seating in the "Dining Package" reserved area of the Fantasmic! amphitheater.
The cost, including tax, is $39 for those ten and older, and $19 for those aged three to nine.
Fantasmic! is an evening show at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Combining a cast of more than 50 people, huge puppets, water effects, live action, projections, and a boat show (well, sorta), it touches on more or less every great Disney animated film through The Lion King and Pocahontas, with a few interludes with more recent characters.
I've seen it more than a dozen times, and while it is getting a little old—the projections, on water screens, are particularly in need of both technical and substantive updates—it is among my top five Disney World attractions, and on all of this site's Disney World itineraries. There's more on Fantasmic! here.
Two showings of Fantasmic! a night used to be fairly common, but with the introduction of the new evening show Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular, one Fantasmic! show a night is now much more typical—so it's not unusual for there to be more people who want to see Fantasmic! than there is capacity.
There's now five ways to get a seat for Fantasmic!
Second is to keep looking for Fantasmic! as a 4th, 5th or whatever day-of FastPass+. This works most days, but comes with no guarantee of success.
Fourth is to purchase a Fantasmic! Dinner Package at The Hollywood Brown Derby, Mama Melrose, or Hollywood and Vine. Traditionally the problem with this—other than cost—has been the choice of restaurants. The Brown Derby is terrific, but not exactly fun. Mama Melrose is pedestrian. Hollywood and Vine traditionally focused on the Disney Junior characters, which put it right in the wheelhouse of kids for whom Fantasmic! might be too scary (it has lots of villains, including large dragon and serpent puppets). Recently lunch and dinner at Hollywood and Vine has shifted to a more broadly appealing character line-up of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy, making it a more viable option. But at Hollywood and Vine lunch Fantasmic! package (after tax and tip) is around $63/39 per person, and the dinner package around $70/43. Mama Melrose is a bit less, and Brown Derby much more.
The Fantasmic! Dessert and VIP Viewing Experience presents potentially a money and time-saving fifth alternative–to the dining package in particular. At $39 for those ten and older, and $19 for those aged three to nine (tax included, no tip), it is cheaper than a dining package—although not by much–and it saves you the time you would otherwise spend at the sit-down restaurant.
The way it works is you make your reservations online here (or of course you can call 407 939-3463).
"Dedicated" would seem to mean that you don't need to arrive early to get good seats.
However, on our visit (I went with my imaginary internet friend Steve Bell of MilitaryDisneyTips.com), seating was first-come first served in the Dining Package area of the amphitheater. This matters if you want a specific location. Up close is best for viewing; mid-way gives you an adequate view and avoids the water spray you will get up close; toward the back is best for an easy exit. If there's not a dedicated seating area on your visit, the earlier you arrive, the more seating choices you will have. If there is a dedicated seating area, then you will be up close, and will get misted.
We purposely got up close, as I'd sat pretty much everywhere at Fantasmic! except front and center in the first few rows. Can't really complain about how close and centered our seats were. And the mist, frankly, was welcome, as it was a hot and humid night. On cooler nights, the mist would be a bug, not a feature.
…and a kiosk off to the side.
Here you get a lanyard that identifies you to cast members further in as a possessor of this Experience, a drink in a special cup (we got blue margaritas), a small bottle of water, and a boxed set of desserts and savory snacks.
Then you go in and sit and drink and snack and wait for the show.
There was nothing special about the margarita—there's also a non-alcoholic punch for the kids, and of course the water bottles—but the mug was fun. It has settings for fast and slow flashing, plus steady lights. The image is of the steady lights.
The snack box has both more and better food than I'd expected. The three cupcakey looking things are an apple crisp, cheesecake, and a chocolate cupcake. Each was delightful. The two chocolate-covered strawberries were large and perfectly ripened. The cheese cubes are typical, and in the cute little paper bag are some nice salty tortilla chips. The small jar—you are seeing its lid–includes a trail mix that was the only offering not particularly to my taste, but trail mix preferences do vary (my fave is M&Ms, peanuts, and golden raisins).
The menu (click it to enlarge it).
In total, while not what you'd call a healthy meal, there's a fair amount of food here. If you had a heavy lunch, and a snack after, it might substitute for dinner—or come pretty close to doing so.
At this price, the Fantasmic! Dessert and VIP Viewing Experience is clearly not for everyone, and is an even worse deal for those whose dining earlier in the day makes the snacks largely superfluous. The drink is nice, but no one ever goes to the Studios yearning for a blue margarita.
That said, it is a legit approach to seeing Fantasmic! for those who can afford it, especially if the rest of their dining this day lets the snacks substitute for dinner.
Hi Dave, just curious, could a TS dining package credit be used for this? We chose the H&V Fantasmic Dinner package (b/c we got the dining plan), as you mention above, but the reservations for dinner are super early.
Also, with the dinner package, will there be reserved section(s) for us which we can arrive shortly before, or does it only guarantee admission into the amphitheater? I'd be fine with the worst of the reserved section versus the nose bleeds.
Eric, sadly no you can't use a dining plan credit of any type for this.
The dining package seating is the center wedge of the amphitheater, so it includes both up front and nosebleed seats (which some prefer for easy exit.) So yes, if you are aiming at a specific distance from the show, even with the dining package you need to go in early.
Thanks Dave! The easy exit is definitely on our mind too. With our kids, going really early and waiting will be difficult. As long as we're guaranteed to get in, that's all that matters. Plus, we did the dining plan to max our character meals, so it works. Dessert Party would have been cool too, but no dp credit = no bueno.
Hello Dave, I have been doing some research on the Dessert Package and in some of the literature there is mention of "Glow with the Show" ears. Is this something that you received? Or, am I seeing old information?
Emily, the mug was, I believe, a glow with the show item. No ears at my visit.
What time did you arrive? With the Dessert Package would you expect front and center seats to be available at 7:30 for an 8:30 show?
Peter, we arrived 45 minutes before the show. You should be fine!!
Would you say the Dinner and show seats of the Dessert and show seats are better?
Shannon, they are pretty much the same.
I have a 14 year old which I am sure would prefer the kids snack box. Will they allow her to choose? Or is she stuck with the adult version?
I just made our reservations for this. They asked about any allergies in the group (we have a peanut allergy and two gluten intolerant). Just curious if you know whether they change the boxes up to accommodate these (which wouldn't surprise me in the least knowing how well Disney accommodates food issues) or if we'll be swapping with each other based upon what folks can eat. Not a big deal either way, but it would be nice to know.
Carolyn, I'm sorry but I don't know. But if you let me know after you do it, I can include that info in the review!
We just experienced a fantastic show but the dessert was over priced and very ordinary. I would never recommend this. Extremely disappointing. Just as well the show was amazing!!
Absolutely perfect review! The strawberries covered in white chocolate were amazing, The dried fruit and nuts cup was … eh, not so amazing. We got a tiny chocolate cupcake, a tiny cheesecake and tiny apple crisp. Also included was a handful of cheese chunks and tortilla chips. The light up souvenir mugs are so fun! Thanks for giving us a sneak peek.
What do you think is better–fantasmic experience or the Jingle Bell one? We are looking to get tickets for one of the dessert experiences.
Hi – thanks for the review! We were able to purchase 7p reservations for the dessert & VIP seating; are we allowed to pick up our box and exit the area and return for the 8p show or do we have to stay in the Fantasmic! Theater for that hour? Thanks!
Kati, I think you can, but despite what the tix say, typically the seating is not in fact reserved. So there's something to be said for grabbing your favorite seats (you will be in the Fantasmic Dining Package section) well before the show starts. What I'd do is not show up right at the beginning of the dessert window, but rather about 35-40 minutes before show start.
Hi Dave, we bought Glow with the Show mouse ear hats in 2015 and are planning a visit for late 2019. Do you know if the hats will still work? It seems that all of the fireworks will be different except for Fantasmic. The hats worked with that and Wishes and IllumiNations in 2015.
Hey Jane, this page on Disney's site indicates where they currently work https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/made-with-magic/ In the section headed "Entertainment" click the "read more" to open them up.
Hi there! I booked the VIP Dessert Experience for my family (we have a 4 year old and 2 year old) and the only time slot available was 6:50pm. Crossing my fingers for an early show time that day.. but if its only at 9pm… can you show up closer to the 9pm showtime instead of our 6:50pm reservation time? Waiting for 2 hours with two toddlers does not sound enjoyable. I'd rather not go 🙂 Would love to know if you know this… I haven't had any luck finding a review with this same scenario.
Jennifer, when I checked in it was to a name on a printed list, but that was a while ago. You probably also got an emailed receipt–I'd print and bring that just in case. Plus having your phone with you, charged, and with the MDE app up can't hurt!

Read All About It: 'Ex Libris' by David Hughes (ed. Antony Dunn)
by Yen-Yen Lu November 9, 2015
A tremendous collection of poetry published posthumously by Valley Press this month. In his lifetime, writer and educator David Hughes submitted just a few of his poems for publication and only on a very rare occasion: for the first time, his poems will be brought together in Ex Libris, edited by Antony Dunn, writer, poet, and Hughes' friend.
Hughes taught English at St. Peter's School in York, which was where he and the editor of this collection first crossed paths; from speaking to Dunn in the interview below, it is clear that he had a great influence on his students. Dunn is now a published poet with three collections of poetry.
Hughes wrote over 200 poems throughout his life. As is the case for many writers, putting his experiences into words seemed to be a therapeutic way for Hughes to process the aftermath of two pivotal events which shaped and influenced the majority of his poems. The first was watching a friend and colleague die tragically in a mountaineering accident. The second was being attacked by a troubled young friend who was later imprisoned for the assault. This made for exquisitely detailed and expressive writing, bringing the reader closer to the experiences.
The collection is an astonishing achievement; Hughes may not have been widely-published as a poet in his lifetime but perhaps with this new collection, his name will take a place amongst well-known poetic voices in the UK.
What stood out to you about David Hughes' poetry while editing the collection?
It was a year after David died that his family passed me all his papers, poems, and correspondence from his computer. Many of the poems I knew already but there were many more I'd never seen.
My original plan for the poems wasn't necessarily to publish a collection – I wanted to make sure his family had a definitive copy of a final version of every poem that he'd written. As I worked my way through that process, it became very clear that there was a book waiting to be shaped from the best of the poems.
What really stood out, I think, was how they grouped themselves together so coherently – the poems written in the aftermath of the death of his friend and colleague Barry Daniels in a mountaineering accident; the poems written during the imprisonment of his young friend who had been arrested for cutting David's throat; the war poems; the landscape poems.
It's not that his range of interests is narrow, but the poems address some ideas repeatedly in different ways. It's really striking, for example, how international historical events cast a strange light over so many of his own personal experiences. These are poems which are really rich in learning and knowledge although they wear that very lightly.
How did he influence your own writing?
David was the first real influence on my poetry-writing but it was him rather than his poems that influenced me. He was an English teacher at my school, though he never taught me formally. When I was fifteen, I'd written scores and scores of lyrics for a pop band, and somehow they came into David's possession. He was kind enough to write comments on them all – really constructive ones – which amounted to a plea for me to adopt a more technical approach and see if what I was writing might turn into poems. And it did.
He was a very astute, patient guide as I started writing, and he had confidence in what I was doing, even when I didn't, which was an invaluable experience. He introduced me to poetry outside the classroom – Ted Hughes and Edward Thomas in particular – and showed me that I could really love poems. And most importantly of all, I think, he let me experience how reading poems and writing poems were two halves of the same thing.
What sort of response would you hope for this collection to receive?
Well, there's one obvious answer to that – the kind of response that I received from Brian Patten ("a wonderful collection of poems") and Helen Mort ("poetry of generous precision, grace and gratitude") when advance copies were sent out.
David published very few poems during his lifetime and I'm conscious that there's not a big national fanbase waiting for this collection. So I hope people discover this 'new' voice and feel that it's one that really belongs in the firmament of poetry published in the UK.
By the way, it's worth saying that Jamie McGarry at Valley Press has made a very beautiful artefact of this book – it's a lovely thing to handle!
Ex Libris is out now and available to order on our website.
