Alex Athanassoulas, President and CEO of STIRIXIS Group, explains to Athens Insider Business Weekly how successful concepts are developed by STIRIXIS Group.
STIRIXIS Group has won over 25 international design awards. You've talked before about curating an experience specific to the location and culture of the project. What are some of the special considerations you make before embarking on a project in Greece?
Experience Design is very cultural specific and is part of what we do indeed successfully and in great depth at STIRIXIS Group. Depending on the project, we collect behavioural information on the users and customers to understand the environment we wish to optimize, and design based on these. There are industries with fewer local attributes such as clothing retail and others with many and important such as food & beverage or workspaces. We do our own market research but also collaborate with most of the important agencies in the Greek market. We take pride in not applying the same solutions to all businesses as we do not believe in best practices, especially when you are seeking a distinct differentiation in a fast-changing environment.
You have experience designing office spaces for a wide variety of customers, from Coca-Cola to smaller, more local businesses. Are there any trends in office design you've seen recently that you're particularly excited about?
We believe in and work hard for maximizing the Return on Investment for our clients. This is what has allowed us to move forward and grow even in the last years. There is lately, wide recognition to the fact that providing a well-designed, user-experience based workspace, produces impressive results in its output by maximizing employee satisfaction and hence engagement and performance. So, the key is to truly optimize the workspace at a functional and technical level, but also at the human level by designing for health, safety and employee well-being. We are thrilled to be currently designing a joint program to assess and optimize workspaces with two other international leaders GEP and Global Sustain to promote a truly systemic user-centric design of offices that also results in a much greater RoI.
Is there any one thing you think an office should never be without?
Workspaces are complex environments. They mostly nurture the relationships and operations of their internal customers, their users. So, it makes us sad when offices are used solely as marketing tools with impressive visitor areas and downgraded real office spaces.
With projects all over Europe, Africa, and Asia, coordination is no small feat. Can you talk about some of the things you've done to ease communication with clients and colleagues around the world?
STIRIXIS Group has successfully completed projects in 24 countries during the last years. We manage them efficiently using technology, working with our strategically designed, systemic, agile company structure and of course… a lot of travelling. Somehow, this has never been a problem despite the distances which are sometimes impressive.
In addition to your work with STIRIXIS Group, you're also an accomplished public speaker. Do you have a favorite go-to topic for your speeches?
I am an avid fan and scholar of Systems Thinking and I am convinced therein lies a large number of solutions to the complex problems we face as businesses or as a society. Committed to creating a positive impact in businesses, I have been invited as a keynote speaker in Greece and abroad, in different fora and company events to explain how thinking Systems can successfully help tackle today's challenges. Apart from Systems Thinking, I often give speeches on Strategy and Strategic Customer Experience Design, being certified by the International Customer Service Association.
STIRIXIS Group provides a wide range of design services, from customer-centered retail experiences to private luxury apartments. What are some of the major differences between designing for the business world and designing for more private clients?
There are significant differences between the two worlds. But there are great similarities in how we approach these. And we have gained from both knowledge and know-how that create emergent values through synergies never expected. We manage now to combine the "extreme" one-customer bespoke design with the effectiveness and resourcefulness that commercial spaces require. This results in great residential projects delivered perfectly on-time, on-budget and on-specs, something rare. On the other hand, we've come to understand customization and customer-centric design at its core, which allows us to optimize operations in commercial areas and to design attractive and profitable concepts for the business world.
Where do you hope to take STIRIXIS Group in the coming years?
I am honoured to lead a team of multi-functional, multi-cultured, excellent professionals who share the same values and vision. My biggest effort everyday lies in facilitating the interaction and relationships between them, so that their inspiration, their revolutionary life force and the emergent values they create are sustainable and valuable to all. The world is hungry for real effective solutions, and STIRIXIS Group is known to provide these. I believe the next years will bring us even bigger projects and new markets. We work hard to be ready and look forward to it.
Do you have any favorite places, design-wise, in Athens?
Athens is for those who know a treasure of design. The sad lack of design, quality and order in public areas has resulted in impressive design on a smaller scale to balance life's needs. Having said that, there is a new trend of many new small stores, restaurants and bars in the heart of Athens, near Ermou street and the adjacent areas of Monastiraki, Plaka, Athinas, Petralona where all together have created a destination, a cluster I should say that attracts a lot of young people, tourists and Athenians. The vibe that one gets there is very special and builds a very unique and memorable experience with design being supportive to that end.
STIRIXIS Group is the internationally awarded strategy-through-execution consultancy firm that ensures your long-term success. STIRIXIS Group creates, designs and manages business concepts globally in the Retail, F&B, Hospitality, Workspace and Leisure industries.

Michael B. Jordan to Star in, Produce 'Methuselah' Movie
March 25th, 2019 | Stephanie Topacio Long
Warner Bros. has been developing a "Methuselah" movie, and it has added a high-profile star and producer.
Michael B. Jordan has joined the project, Variety reports. He'll produce via his production company, Outlier Society, joined by David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford of Heyday. Warner Bros. has reportedly had the project in development for several years, with Tony Gilroy ("Beirut") penning the latest draft of the script.
The story centers on the longest-living figure in the Bible, Methuselah, who is the son of Enoch. Jordan's interest in the project may stem from his background. He has shared in the past that he "grew up in church," telling Essence magazine in 2014 that he considers himself "spiritual."
Jordan most recently starred in "Creed II," and he has the lead role in the upcoming biographical drama "Just Mercy," due out in 2020. He's nabbed a number of key roles in recent years, especially following the success of "Creed" in 2015.

MegaFood One Daily Reviews - Good Boost for Your Health?
According to MegaFood, the unique blend of non-GMO vitamins and minerals found in their One Daily supplement can help maximize your health and lifestyle.
MegaFood One Daily is a multivitamin that features a nourishing blend of two-dozen ingredients, which the company advertises will help support optimal health and wellbeing, while boosting your already well-balanced lifestyle.
All ingredients are non-GMO, glyphosphate residue free, gluten-free, dairy and soy-free, and vegetarian. MegaFood explain you just have to take one tablet per day at any time, with or without food.
When it comes to the One Daily multivitamin supplement, everything boils down to two main questions: Can you expect its ingredients to work, and will it deliver better results for the money than the competition?
Let's get right to the heart of the matter by taking a look at its formulation.
Which Ingredients Will You Find in MegaFood One Daily?
Based on what we learned from the clinical evidence summarizations provided by sites like WebMD, Examine.com, and the Natural Medicines Database, nearly all of these vitamins and minerals are essential for optimal human health.
Vitamin A plays roles in vision and reproduction, iron is required to produce red blood cells, copper promotes immune function and iron absorption, vitamin E acts as an antioxidant to protect cells, and vitamin B12 keeps the body's nerves and blood cells healthy, as just a handful of examples.
However, these same sites indicate that the supplementation of these ingredients isn't likely to provide meaningful benefits for otherwise healthy people. Keep this pointer in mind, as we'll return to it shortly.
Are There Any Potential Side Effects When it Comes to MegaFood One Daily?
Outside of these (no additional specifics provided), vitamin C might also cause heartburn, riboflavin can cause the urine to turn a yellow-orange color, and niacin can result in flushing.
In some people, pyridoxine (B6) might cause loss of appetite, tingling, and sleepiness, while iodine can cause a runny nose. Taking lower doses of selenium (less than 400 mcg) long-term isn't recommended, since it could increase the risk of developing diabetes.
Finally, WebMD emphasizes, "routine zinc supplementation is not recommended without the advice of a healthcare professional." In some people, it might also cause kidney and stomach damage.
Speaking of which, it's always a must that you speak with your healthcare professional before taking a new supplement or multivitamin, who can help you avoid potential side effects and medication interactions based on your specific diagnosis.
How Much Does MegaFood One Daily Cost & Where Can You Buy?
We also found One Daily sold via popular online retailers like The Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon, VitaCost, iHerb.com, and Natural Healthy Concepts, to name just a few. In many of these instances, prices were meaningfully lower than if purchased from MegaFood.
All direct orders come with a 30-day refund policy, less S&H, which you can request by calling 800-848-2542 or sending a message via the contact form on their site. Third-party refund policies may vary.
Are Customers Saying Good Things in Their MegaFood One Daily Reviews?
Between the MegaFood website, as well as the third-party retailers mentioned earlier, we encountered well over 200 combined customer reviews for the One Daily supplement, who had given it an overall average rating of about 4.5 stars.
In most instances, compliments cited its whole-food ingredients, ease of use, and no side effects (specifically, no gastrointestinal upset). On the other hand, common complaints revolved around no noticeable results, high price, and temporary side effects like upset stomach and nausea.
"The label and marketing lead you to believe that all the vitamins are extracted from food, including yeast.
Their issue, as a result, is that the One Daily multi-vitamin isn't necessarily as 'whole' as MegaFood's advertising might lead customers to believe.
Seeking clarification on the matter, we reached out to the company's support department. According to the representative we spoke with, while they confirmed that the reviewer's description is mostly accurate, they added some nuance to the discussion.
First, they confirmed that One Daily does, in fact, contain nutritional yeast (the species S. cerevisiae, specifically). They also verified that vitamins are combined with this yeast and pressed into a tablet, bottled, and then shipped to consumers.
However, they clarified that these vitamins are non-GMO isolates. This is different, they told us, than synthetic vitamin versions, which are bound by other components like citrate, malate, and so forth. They also stated that the yeast is deactivated, which better allows the body to process it.
Can consumers expect this whole food (compared to synthetic) approach to make a meaningful difference in the benefits achieved, though? Let's carry this question over to the next section.
Type variations of phrases like 'whole foods multivitamins' or 'food-based vitamin supplements' into search engines like Google, and you'll quickly learn that there are a lot of products competing with One Daily.
Given that this handful of high-ranking results vary in price between $0.54 (One Daily) and $1.60 (Dr. Mercola Whole Food Multivitamin) per dose—a difference of more than 300%, how can you decide which option is most likely to deliver the highest level of value for the money?
First, it's important to understand that according to organizations like the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Association (among others), when it comes to taking a multivitamin, otherwise healthy individuals likely won't receive a lot of value for their money. In other words, the most significant benefits will come to those who are deficient in some of the ingredients their multivitamin contains.
Second, the best person to put you on the path toward figuring out if you're deficient in an essential vitamin or mineral is your primary care physician. And, based on what they learn from questioning and testing, they can recommend a science-backed treatment option, whether or not this involves a multi-vitamin like One Daily.
All of which MegaFood seems to deliver with One Daily. Does this necessarily mean that you should go ahead and place an order, though?
"The production process of synthetic nutrients is very different to the way plants and animals create them. So despite having a similar structure, your body may react differently to synthetic nutrients.
In short, vitamin C (as but one random example) ingested from oranges might be more beneficial to the human body than the synthetic version (i.e., ascorbic acid) created in a laboratory. Based on the current scientific understanding, though, this is far from a foregone conclusion.
This major point aside, MegaFood's One Daily multivitamin comes with the lowest per-dose cost among popular competitors listed in the previous section, even with its whole foods (versus synthetic) formulation.
Does either of these factors necessarily mean that it will deliver meaningfully better results than other whole foods competitors? Based on what Healthline outlines, this doesn't seem to be the case.
But, to make a maximally informed decision, it's essential that you talk with your doctor before making any financial commitment, who can also help you avoid potential side effects and medication interactions.
If you decide to give One Daily a try, MegaFood seems to stand behind all of their supplements with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Just keep in mind that you're responsible for return shipping charges if it doesn't meet your needs or preferences.

Regional tensions, Paris attacks hang over APEC summit
By Rosemarie Francisco and Manuel Mogato

MANILA (Reuters) - Regional tensions over the South China Sea and security concerns after the attack by Islamist militants on Paris could eclipse efforts by Pacific-rim leaders this week to boost trade and growth across a region of around 3 billion people.
Market uncertainty, protectionist pressures and the need for difficult reform as trade growth slows will nevertheless be on the minds of close to 20 leaders attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Manila.
The Philippines went on high alert following the strike on France's capital, ramping up security in Manila to ensure the safety of thousands of delegates. Traffic snarled across the city of 12 million on Monday as police closed off many roads leading to meeting venues where ministers held preparatory talks ahead of the Nov 18-19 summit.
Philippines officials say there has been no intelligence suggesting there might be an attack on the Manila summit, which will be attended by U.S. President Barack Obama, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, but about 30,000 police and soldiers have been deployed to guard it.
"There are no credible threats, I can assure you that," said national police spokesman Wilben Mayor. "But, in general, we have intensified intelligence operations and beefed up security."
Obama and other world leaders are to arrive in Manila from Tuesday, many after attending the G20 leaders summit in Turkey, where the Paris attacks overshadowed the agenda.
"Traditionally the G20 has been a forum primarily to discuss economic issues facing the globe ... (but) the sky has been darkened by the horrific attacks that took place in Paris," Obama said in a statement on Sunday.
Even before Friday's assault by gunmen and bombers that left at least 129 dead in Paris, there had been concern that APEC's agenda of enhancing economic integration would be undermined by other issues, not least feuding over the South China Sea.
The Philippines has vowed to be a "good host" by keeping off the summit agenda a subject that has whipped up tension between China and the United States in recent weeks, but said it could come up at a concluding retreat of leaders on Thursday.
"We have no control over what the other economic leaders would be raising during the leaders' retreat," foreign affairs spokesman Charles Jose said on Friday, relaying a message that the Philippines' foreign minister gave to his Chinese counterpart at a meeting last week.
"What is happening now in the South China Sea is causing instability and undermining peace and stability that could have an impact on the development and economic prosperity of the countries in the region," he added.
TALKS ON THE SIDELINES
Beijing, which claims almost the entire energy-rich South China Sea through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes yearly, has stepped up land reclamation and construction in disputed islands and reefs there. Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei also claim parts of the waterway.
A week before the summit, U.S. B-52 strategic bombers flew near Chinese artificial islands, signalling Washington's determination to challenge Beijing over the disputed sea.
Obama will likely discuss the friction over the South China Sea and military relations when he meets with Philippine President Benigno Aquino on the sidelines of the summit, said Philip Goldberg, U.S. ambassador to the Philippines.
Aquino and Japan's Abe are also expected to agree on a deal paving the way for Tokyo to supply Manila with used military equipment, possibly including aircraft that could be deployed to patrol the disputed South China Sea, sources said. The deal will mark the first time Japan has agreed to directly donate military equipment to another country.
Manila and Hanoi are due to sign a strategic partnership deal governing how their navies will work together.
Such developments could upset China, which said last week it was up to Manila to repair damaged bilateral ties. Beijing has insisted on using a bilateral track to resolve the dispute.
TRADE WORRIES
The APEC meeting will be the first for newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. But the leaders of two other G20 countries, Russia's Vladimir Putin and Indonesia's Joko Widodo, are not attending, both citing domestic issues for staying away.
It will be a chance for leaders of the 12-member Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to meet for the first time since they sealed a deal to eliminate trade barriers and enable free trade.
APEC, which accounts for 60 percent of global output and nearly half of world trade, is aiming for a larger free-trade area for its 21 economies by 2025, but a re-emergence in some states of protectionism as growth stutters could be a hindrance.
"A slowdown in trade growth is weighing on Asia-Pacific economies, coming after a quarter century of high trade growth that fuelled the region's development and transformed it into an engine for the global economy," the APEC Secretariat said in a statement on Sunday.

Kanye West's Enlightening Fox News Interview: 'Bring the best design to the people'
Edmund Wilson History, Politics, Society 19th August 2022 24th August 2022 2 Minutes
Kanye West is an astonishing individual. Endlessly maligned by media outlets throughout his career, Mr. West's pivot from music to fashion has subverted expectations about his artistry and creativity in general. 'He clearly thinks out of the box', the Fox News interviewer said after the interview. For those who have not heard My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the truth of Kanye West's genius is always a startling revelation, since it is Kanye's political gaffs that he tends to be best known for. Kanye West can't do politics — but he can do almost anything else. I wonder why.
Mr. West, a man on a mission.
But he can do politics. This is a political move. Remember — Kanye alienated Red states by calling out George Bush in the late 2000s following Hurricane Katrina, prior to his alienating almost all U.S. states after his interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Awards. These events led Kanye to the prophetic Fantasy that sent him hurtling into the 2010s, an ill-fated marriage, and a pivot from music to other ventures, commercial and political.
Kanye started a 'Yeezy' fashion line which has made him a multibillionaire. And he donned the Trump 'MAGA' red cap before himself running against Trump in the 2020 elections — he was too late to meet the ballot for most states.
Clearly, the support for Trump in 2016 alienated Kanye in blue states, just as opposition to Bush alienated him in red states. Kanye is now on Fox News being praised for being 'an artist — and not just music[ally]'.
Kanye's critique of abortion has stood one test of political time, as Roe V. Wade is now repealed, to no small degree of controversy and outrage. A rift has opened up in American politics that will take a great deal of responsible conviction to heal. Kanye's appeal in the Republican Party is potentially very large, though actually quite small. His mass appeal as a candidate for President is diminished. Any political future depends on applying the same intellectual and organisational genius of Dark Twisted Fantasy in music and Yeezy in business to a political campaign that is more than artistry, and draws on technicality and a spirit of balance. Kanye once said he wanted to combine the policy platform of the Bernie campaign with the populist rhetoric of the Trump campaign. (Bernie once received an enthusiastic reception at a Fox News town hall, recall.) Can economic leftism and cultural conservatism go together? If the economic side is moderated by an entrepreneurial ethos, which protects working people rather than overexploiting them, perhaps they can.
The middle way is a republican message of civil rights as economic rights — a central idea to Bernie's campaign, undermined by the damaging rhetoric of woke liberalism, which Kanye completely disavows, while embracing the universal values of equality, liberty, and fraternity. In a campaign which focuses on identity issues, Kanye can easily respond about his record of championing upcoming artists such as Nicki Minaj and Rihanna early in their star-spangled careers. His rhetorical gaffs are the cost of genius, and reflect a failure in style, not substance. For an artist, Kanye is remarkably philosophical — and that may just be his greatest political strength.
Can he do it? Almost certainly not. Will it be illuminating to see him try? Certainly. Will his attempts, successful or otherwise, go down in history? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Dating from 1698, Old Swedes Church is located near the site of the original Swedes' landing and represents one of only two remaining examples of Swedish-American church architecture. It is the oldest church in the United States that has been continuously used as a house of worship since its construction.
Sitting in the center of a tree-shaded, historic graveyard, the church has box-type pews, which seat approximately 250 persons when the gallery is used. Made of black walnut by Joseph Harrison, the pulpit is the oldest known pulpit in the United States.
Old Swedes Church is now part of the First State National Historical Park.

Observing Martin Luther King Jr. day
by Valora Starr
I remember the day Coretta Scott King and Stevie Wonder, along with a host of others who had done their part to complete the 15-year journey, stood behind President Ronald Reagan as he signed the King Holiday Bill into law on Nov. 2, 1983.
"This is not a black holiday; it is a people's holiday," said Coretta, because service was at the heart of the movement and still is at the heart of his dream. Dr. Martin Luther King lived out his faith in the public eye, and as he served others and advocated for justice, he left a model for us today. Coretta wanted to make that clear from the very beginning.
Twenty-five years later the holiday could be viewed as just another day off, but instead it is still a day full of hope, with people serving and sharing Dr. King's dream with a new generation.
For people of faith, this holiday gives us a collective chance to step up our game, to reflect and do something, to roll up our sleeves.
How have you honored Rev. King's vision this week?
How do you live it every day?

Home Business Agribusiness Yara donates to COVID-19 National Trust Fund
Yara donates to COVID-19 National Trust Fund
Yara Ghana Limited, a leading name in the fertiliser industry of Ghana, has made a donation of GH¢200,000 to the COVID-19 National Trust Fund as part of its support to the country in its fight against the COVID -19 pandemic.
The West Africa Regional Director for Yara International, Mr. Danquah Addo-Yobo, made the presentation on behalf of Yara Ghana Limited in a short ceremony at the office of the Fund in Accra.
According to the Regional Director-Yara, Ghana has been a partner in the country's development – especially in the agricultural space – for several years, and the donation forms part of this continuous partnership and support especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Addo-Yobo, said as a strategic partner in the agricultural space in Ghana, aside from this donation Yara has also put in place measures to ensure farmers have access to its quality fertilisers when and wherever they need it; so as to ensure continuity of food production in order to ensure food security for the country during this pandemic period.
"Yara Ghana has in place a business continuity plan that has enabled us in the midst of this pandemic to make available our fertilisers and other crop nutrition solutions throughout the distribution chain to farmers across the country, while adhering to strict safety standards and protocols. The farmers need to apply fertilisers at specific times and our products are in the market in time for the season to help ensure the country's food security, he stated.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the Trust Fund, former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo who is the chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the COVID-19 Trust Fund expressed gratitude to Yara Ghana for exhibiting good corporate citizenship, and commended the company for its work in the agricultural value chain.
She stated that the Trust Fund was set up by an Act of Parliament, the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) National Trust Fund bill 2020, to receive and manage contributions and donations from well-meaning individuals, groups and corporate bodies. Beneficiaries of the Fund will be frontline medical staff and volunteers engaged in combatting COVID-19, as well as the vulnerable and needy affected by the pandemic.
Present at the presentation ceremony were the West Africa Regional Chief Finance Officer for Yara, Mr. Kudjoe Agbenyega; Marketing Officer of Yara Ghana, Mr. Kwame Okyere; and Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong, a member of the COVID-19 National Trust Fund's board of trustees.

Q: PHP make directory (mkdir) with special characters I've searched all over the web and didn't get the right answer for this, so the question is - is it even possible?
I am using the following code:
$file = $_POST['file_path'];
$content = $_POST['file_content'];
//get vars from post

$path = explode("/",$file);
$path_start = $path[0]."/".$path[1];
//define path_start

$i = 1;
while ($file != $path_start) {
if (!file_exists($path_start)) {
    mkdir($path_start,0777);
}//end if
$i++;
$path_start = $path_start."/".$path[$i];
} //end while

if (isset($file) && isset($content)) {
    if (file_exists($file)) {
    unlink($file);
    } // file does not exist ... not anymore anyways
    $fp = fopen($file, 'w+');
    fwrite($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp);
    echo "The path is ".$file;
    } else {
    echo "Error!";
}

So the thing is $file contains the full path including name like:

.\comment\Folderč\Folderž\Folder\File22.txt

The code works fine, splits it to pieces but what the problem is... to create the folder with Folderč name. I simply cannot use any kind of replace characters function simply because all of the other files are depending on the variable already set (and thats a lot of files).

So is there any mkdir mode to create folder with special characters?

Thanks for feedback

A: Try to use utf8-encode() like,
$file = utf8_encode($_POST['file_path']); // use utf8-encode here
$content = $_POST['file_content'];
//get vars from post

$path = explode("/",$file);
$path_start = utf8_encode($path[0]."/".$path[1]); // use utf8-encode here
//define path_start

$i = 1;
while ($file != $path_start) {
    if (!file_exists($path_start)) {
        mkdir($path_start,0777);
    }//end if
    $i++;
    $path_start = utf8_encode($path_start."/".$path[$i]); // use utf8-encode here
} //end while

// your remaining code here

Obi-Wan Kenobi Spinoff Film Reportedly Being Filmed By George Lucas In Ireland
It's a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
It's a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. The Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off movie might be underway and will reportedly be filmed in Ireland by none other than Star Wars creator George Lucas himself.
The news comes from a truly unexpected source. British politician Boris Johnson actually dropped some interesting details during his speech at the DUP conference on Friday. In an effort to enumerate the various accolades of the UK, Johnson revealed that Lucas is already planning to shoot the Kenobi standalone film in Ireland (you can read his full speech here).
An excerpt of the speech reads as follows:
"We have more Nobel prizes from one Cambridge college than from Russia and China combined. By far the most dynamic creative culture and media industries. Which was the biggest grossing movie last year? Star Wars and where does George Lucas propose to make a follow up about Obi-Wan Kenobi? Northern Ireland."
Johnson probably should have just dropped the mic right there but he had other things to talk about. Nevertheless, the reference to the Kenobi movie didn't go unnoticed.
It's still unclear if Lucas is already scouting locations in Ireland. After all, we have yet to find any confirmation that the Kenobi film is actually happening. Last we've heard, the movie has been put on hold but it sounds like Lucas is eager to move forward with it as soon as possible.
It's important to point out that Disney and Lucasfilm have not yet confirmed Johnson's information about the standalone movie. Nevertheless, we are hoping that an announcement will be made soon enough about the highly anticipated Star Wars flick.
Although it's still unclear when the Obi-Wan Kenobi spinoff will begin production, Star Wars: Episode IX is currently being filmed in the UK. The sequel is scheduled for release on December 20, 2019.

Do Map updates all have to be installed consecutively or can I skip 3 to save download allowance?
Every map install uses 5GB of my 10GB monthly allowance and also usually takes hours and hassle. So can I update once a year or does each update have to be installed consecutively?
Once a year works. Will include all changes from previous three (ignored) maps.
