MARKET MAKING & ADVISORY
FINANCIAL FORCASTS
AUDITOR'S LETTER
Starward Industries is led by Marek Markuszewski acting as Chief Executive Officer, the main shareholder, and the author behind the concept of
the studio's first video game.
Beforehand, Markuszewski had managed the Cracow branch of CD Projekt RED, which he co-founded, Markuszewski, as Senior Producer. Within a year after leaving the position, he managed to build a team of extremely talented and experienced game developers, obtained the license for adaptation of an outstanding Sci-Fi novel, and created the detailed business plan of the new venture.
In June 2018, Markuszewski raised the first round of financing from a group of individual investors, and began working on the action plan to establish the company structure and a long-term operational and financial plan. It led to incorporating the venture on September 10, 2018 as the joint-stock company. The company was registered on September 27, 2018, and in October of the same year, the company began production with a complete team on board.
Starward Industries SA is an independent video game developer in the AA+ segment, focusing on producing and publishing videogames for personal computers and consoles, backed by a team with many years of experience in companies such as CD Projekt Red, Reality Pump or Techland.
The company is developing a first-person sci-fi thriller based on a novel by a famous Polish writer with global recognition and recorded book sales of tens of millions, Stanisław Lem. Starward Industries has signed up an exclusive license with Lem estate to adapt one of his novels as a videogame.
The aforementioned project uses the Unreal Engine technology provided by Epic Games, which supports all major hardware platforms, operating systems and video game consoles. This engine is being updated to support new technologies, staying in sync with the progressing trends in videogames development.
The company intends to build virtual worlds under umbrella brands, which will benefit from marketing efforts as supporting sales of not one title, but also the whole series of games under a shared brand. For promoting and marketing of the first game, the studio intends to use the platform related to a global recognition of Stanisław Lem as a renowned science fiction writer. This brand is going to open the door to existing fandom of the novel, and to opinion leaders and a range of specialist media and cultural, artistic and scientific institutions. Leveraging this reference, the studio will communicate their value offering via opinion leaders and influencers in professional and consumer segment, supported by a substantial cash budget to maximise the reach with intent to kickstart and support sales of the first game as soon as it's been released.
The studio wants to build their unique proposition
and sustainable business model by adopting the
following strategic values:
creating interactive virtual worlds that stretch to several single product in various media, while based on compelling, engaging gameplay experience
high intellectual and emotional value resonating with the global culture, which in the case of the first game relates to the original, proprietary approach to the story licensed exclusively from the estate of one of the most renowned sci-fi writer, Stanisław Lem.

Q: If $f(t)\in 1 + t\mathbb{Z}[t]$ is irred., could there exist arbitrarily large $n$ such that for some $a\in\mathbb{Z}$, $f(t)+at^n$ splits completely? Let $f(t)\in 1 +t\mathbb{Z}[t]$ be an irreducible polynomial (not necessarily monic) of degree $\ge 2$. Thus $f(t)$ is also irreducible in $\mathbb{Q}[t]$.
Is it possible that there exist arbitrarily large integers $n\ge 0$ satisfying:
"There exist an $a\in\mathbb{Z}$ (possibly 0) such that $at^n + f(t)$ splits completely into linear factors in $\mathbb{Z}[t]$" ?
A second, probably easier question - Can we find a polynomial $f(t) \in 1+t\mathbb{Z}[t]$ such that there do not exist arbitrary large integers $n\ge 0$ satisfying the quoted condition?

A: Equivalently (by the substitution $g(t)\leftrightarrow g(1/t)t^{\deg g}$):

If $f\in\Bbb Z[t]$ is irreducible and monic of degree $d\ge2$, do there exist arbitrarily large $n$ such that for some $a_n\in\Bbb Z$, $g_n(t):=f(t)t^n+a_n$ splits into linear factors?

Answer: No, there can only be finitely many such $n$.
Proof.
Clearly, $a_n$ must be non-zero as otherwise $f$ itself would split.
As $\deg f>1$, the derivative $f'$ has only finitely many zeroes. Let $$R=\max\{\,|x|:f(x)=0\lor f'(x)=0\,\}.$$ Then on each of the intervals $[R,\infty)$, $(-\infty,R]$, $f$ has constant sign and is monotonic. Therefore $t^nf(t)$ and ultimately $g_n(t)$ is also monotonic on each of these two intervals.
If $g_n$ splits completely into linear factors, it must have (counted with multiplicity) $n+d$ integer roots.
Any root of multiplicity $k>1$ is a root of the derivative $g_n'(t)=t^{n-1}(f'(t)t+nf(t))$ with multiplicity $k-1$. Note that  $g_n(0)=a_n\ne 0$, so that after removing any common factor of $g_n$ with the degree $d$ polynomial $f'(t)t+nf(t)$, we are still left with at least $n$  distinct integer roots of $g_n$.
By monotonicity, $g_n$ has at most one root in $[R,\infty)$ and at most one root in  $(-\infty,R]$.
Thus $g_n$ must have $n-2$ distict integer roots in the interval $[-R,R]$, which is absurd if $n>2R+3$.

Mid-Summer's day and an early visit to Brandon I arrived at around 6.45am and immediately met up with AW in the carpark. Its amazing to think that this is the longest day and from here on the nights start to draw in, it doesn't seem that long ago I was observing the Siskin and Redpoll in the bare tree canopies!
Back to today and the first notable was a Lesser Whitethroat heard singing in the hawthorn close to the Sheepfield gate, a brief glimpse as it emerged from deep within. A good tour of all the hides ended up with the usual species and the various young, now getting close to adulthood. On the path away from the Wright-Hide we got excellent views of a female Muntjac, which looked as startled as we did when we came across her, AW getting some good photo's.
I could here a Cuckoo calling from over on the West Marsh for most of the morning which I savoured in the knowledge that he will be departing south imminently. Thus far there have been no signs of Cuckoo young on the reserve and indeed no records of the bubbling chuckle of the female.
At Carlton hide I got a good view of Little Grebe young (2) and then later over on the West Marsh more evidence of another brood, difficult to know the numbers as they were well tucked into the vegetation. Another plus during the visit were a couple of Kingfisher, which in an earlier post I had mentioned lack of numbers, good to see more reports and also several reports of young being seen around the reserve.
After the other troops departed myself and Derek, another team member, took the opportunity to have a good look at River Meadow and the Farmfield. On River Meadow we had excellent numbers of Meadow Brown butterfly plus Ringlet, Speckled Wood, Small Tortoiseshell and male and female Banded demoiselle damselfly.
With the lowish cloud dozens of Swift had come down onto the meadow, feeding on the varous bugs and several times we were buzzed by these amazing birds, silent as they wizzed past your ear! At one stage we accidentally spooked a Grey Partridge, my first on the reserve and the first record this year according to JR the official site recorder! Farmfield produced no additions to the species list, with the exception of 6 Goldfinch feeding on the nettles and a Latte in the Nature Centre with Derek ended a really enjoyable visit.
My first full day at Brandon since returning from Canada began at 6.45am with my usual walk through New Hare Covert and the 1st coffee of the day at Wright Hide.
The morning was dank and overcast and so it was really no surprise that by the time the coffee met my lips nothing out of the ordinary had occurred, in fact it was extremely quiet apart from a Cuckoo calling on Sheep Field! Things did brighten up however by the time I arrived at the Main-Hide with a Little Egret on River Pool and Green Sandpiper on Teal.
Although this is my first summer at Brandon it's plain to see that the breeding birds success rate for this year appears to be the best for sometime. In fact having discussed this with other long standing team members over coffee, that fact was confirmed. As we went through the successful breeders the numbers sounded even more impressive with Oystercatcher, Redshank, Little Ringed Plover, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Lapwing, Coot, Common Tern and Sand Martin to name just a few. In fact the Sand Martin is probably the real bonus for us this year as it's the first time we've had nesting birds within the artificial structure, first installed over 3 years ago. I reported in an earlier post the predation of one of our Great Crested Grebe nests but was happy to see that another pair have succeeded in raising a single chick, which being carried on the mothers back this time last week, was actually sitting proudly in the original nest.
A slight concern this year for me, although not to put a dampener on things, is the lack of Kingfisher sightings, as yet unexplained. That said I did see my first at the reserve for several weeks as one came shooting past the River Pool Hide earlier.
After lunch with PB at West Marsh and a visit to the Nature Centre to update my whiteboard I took a walk alone up onto Farm Field in the usual hope of seeing something different. I'm delighted to say that it came, not in the form of a good birding spot but just as pleasurable. As I rounded the path from the Tip area my attention was drawn to what I first though was a Muntjac Deer crashing through the reedbed, only to be surprised by an adult Fox and 2 cubs who were happily playing, oblivious to my presence, just on the peripheral. I watched them with delight as they played for a good 10 minutes before disapperaing from view, a great finale to my day.
It's off to France this coming weekend for a family visit so lets hope I can find time to get some birding in!

This player is the Shanling T-200 without its cosmetics and tube output/headphone stage (temporary image from our HE2003 snap shot book).
The Music Hall Mambo is a beautiful 50wpc pure Class A integrated amp. It is quite unique in that it includes a high- quality upsampling 24bit/96kHz Burr-Brown D/A converter. Plug your current CD player in and upgrade your entire system. The stock unit was very good and a great value for only $1300.
The A15.2 integrated amp is rated at 75wpc but actually puts out 90 and is a high value full-featured remote controlled integrated amp. It even comes with a pretty good phono stage. It has a front panel mini plug to run an iPod and is voltage switchable to ship internationally. The modification is covered by the Music Hall factory warranty.
The new Music Hall CD-25.2 is an upgraded version of their older CD-25. The older unit received excellent reviews. This new player has an upgraded transport as well as a 24-bit/192kHz converter. The circuit design is a good bit more complex and offers us the opportunity to make it into a superb player.
The Music Hall DAC25.2 is a very nice tube DAC that has a USB input as well as both RCA & balanced outputs. It also has a good headphone amp.

My Take On Climate Change
BY Andres Arguinzones
Andres Arguinzones
Climate change from last year until now has been a lot different than before. Last year for all of us around the word, we were living through the COVID-19 pandemic, a pandemic no one thought could happened. We as humans were thinking COVID would last for a month or two but it lasted for a year. It's been crazy in the city of New York and other cities where the virus was very active. Climate change and COVID 19 are related. What I heard is that when the weather is very hot and warm, the virus is very active because viruses like warm weather and like to spread around areas that are hot. In the cold weather, the virus is not that active because of cold air lessens the spread of the virus. That the pandemic and global warming can affect each other, for me it's a possibility that we have to look at. I think destroying forests can invite epidemics but not pandemics. It can worsen the climate change because you are basically destroying the environment of nature in the Earth and causes wild fires and a lot of warm weather that has occurred in certain area in a long time.
I am of Venezuelan descent so right now in my country, Covid-19 is pretty active. At least now they have the vaccines. It's been a horrible scene. As far as climate change though, there hasn't been that much impact in Venezuela; it's usually the same everyday— warm weather and sometimes it will rain.

Fixing the Christian T-Shirt Problem
Published August 14, 2013 | By thriftyshopper
More news about: Online Clothing
(PRWEB) August 14, 2013
The church is in a state of transformation. Churches are increasingly embracing the missional movement, which is the idea to stop telling people about Christ and start showing Christ to people through our lives and actions. People care far less about what is said and far more about what is done.
Unfortunately, Christian T-shirts havent caught on to the change. . .until now.
What the missional movement is doing for the church, Udderance is doing for the Christian T-shirt. Classic Christian T-shirts indiscriminately scream to anyone within eyeshot, Im a Christian wearing a Christian T-shirt! Udderance T-shirts strip out all the cheeky Christian lingo and replace it with a very simple, very powerful message designed to make people ask, What does your T-shirt mean? The answer easily leads into conversations about God.
Each T-shirt is printed with a QR code which is unique to Udderance Christian T-shirts. Using an online management tool, users can control where people will be directed when they scan the code with a smartphone. The curious onlookers can go to the users profile page, a custom message, or a third-party website like a blog. It gives users a great way to share their testimonies.
Udderance Christian T-shirts launched with the following four original designs: Children of Light, Adventurize, Reexist, and In. Each T-shirt is designed around a central theme and includes training on how to talk to people about them. Rather than focusing on creating a large catalog of T-shirts, Udderance plans to release one new T-shirt design per month and retire old shirts.
Udderance is also unique in the Christian T-shirt industry in that they use high-quality, non-sweatshop created garments. The vast majority of T-shirts are made overseas where women and children work long hours in poor conditions to earn poverty level salaries. This is just one more way Udderance is trying to make the world a better place.
Tim Ivey, the founder of Udderance, created a short video that can be viewed at the following link: http://youtu.be/ej-HqwA3UWk. In it he asks, We all wear clothes. Why not use them to open up conversations? Why not? Learn more at http://udderance.com.

Happy 1st Anniversary, Eat, Move, Be!
Last week I noticed an update on my LinkedIn account congratulating me on my 1-year work anniversary. I was confused – in January I had a similar message about the eight years I've been training clients at the Adelaide Club in Toronto.
When I went to my LinkedIn profile I saw that it was was the 1st anniversary of Eat, Move, Be!
What? I've been so busy focusing on production that I forgot! If I simply let this moment slide I would miss the opportunity to not only celebrate, but to reflect on this personal milestone.
Here's a brief (nope, it was brief, but then this post grew!), personal review and reflection on Eat, Move, Be's first anniversary.
I published 70 posts between 16 March 2014 and 20 March 2015.
At about 1.5 posts per week I'm proud of what I've achieved. I would like to consistently publish two posts per week, but I'm also considering different types of posts.
For example, I recently started publishing a Top Health, Nutrition and Fitness Articles post. There's a ton of great information online but I feel it gets lost if I only tweet the original article on Twitter or post it to my Facebook page.
What I would rather do is provide valuable insight. Instead of posting a link, I want to say something about the article that would excite, educate or interest you enough to read more.
What I might start doing is to publish more short posts, similar to the top articles post above, but commenting on a single article or recent situation or trend.
To slowly and steadily create content to publish another book.
After the launch of Eat, Move, Be in March 2014 I saw a consistent 600 site visits per month for the first few months. That number has grown to almost 2,700 (or about 90/day)!
I am looking forward to hitting 5,000 views per month by mid-summer!
Since very early on How To Cook Meals In Bulk, Part 4: Baked Mango Chicken Breast Recipe has steadily been my number one post. I plan to update the images at some point in the near future, since I shot this recipe with my iPhone!
My second most popular post is my Beet Carrot Salad Recipe, which was also the first post that I shot with my Canon T5i DSLR camera and studio lighting.
My slow cooker recipes have done well, in particular my Slow Cooker Beef Stew With Parsnips And Carrots Recipe got a lot of shares on my Pinterest board.
Hands down my personal favourite is the post, What Matters Most In Life?
I'm introspective to the point of being self-absorbed, but I'm most interested in quality of life, being happy (actually joyful!), free, genuine, unique and relaxed. I want to learn more, practice more and teach others how to live a higher quality of life that they weren't taught about in school!
I admit that I'm a "fiddler" – I like to fiddle with how things look on my site. Some things worked, and others didn't. When I'm frustrated and not sure what do to, I can play around in the admin area of my site and tell myself that I'm not procrastinating!
When Eat, Move, Be first launched I was using a StudioPress Theme (which is a template to make the site look and work in a particular way). It was fine for a time, but I wanted a cleaner look with less graphics.
I then installed "Foodie" which a lot of food bloggers use for their websites – a LOT of food bloggers. So many in fact that I felt like I was part of the herd. And when I feel like I'm part of the herd I run. I want to stand out, but I know it takes time to be recognized for the value and insight you are offering others.
I'm also not a food blogger. While my site has been heavily focused on food, healthy recipes, cooking, and healthy eating, I have written a lot about mindset, well-being and articles on fitness.
I "finally" settled on a new (and the current) theme called Pressive by Thrive Themes in December.
From a technical perspective it gives a non-coder like me a lot of control and it has so many built-in options to make pages and images load faster, which means you don't have to wait!
Some day in the future I plan to work with a designer to make a simple logo and adjust the colours on the site to be a bit more appealing.
Lastly, in many ways I'm still figuring things out. I'm still trying to pinpoint my exact audience. I'm still trying to free my own voice. I'm still working on products and services to make Eat, Move, Be a successful online business.
After having created and closed two previous websites (DarrenStehle.com and AllAboutMealPlanning.com), I know in my gut that Eat, Move, Be is the best medium for communicating what I want to say and to create something that I can be truly proud of.
I'm almost done editing a post addressing the issue of how many set and reps to perform in a workout.
In the next few weeks to a month I will launch my online health and fitness coaching service, with a variety of plans and products to be introduced over the coming months.
There is a also a healthy eating and nutrition webinar in the works.
Since January I've been taking a Food and Product Photography course.
It's been great and I love the various challenges we've been given, the different lighting techniques I've learned, and the awareness of how much I need to practice, that I need to improve my control of "white balance", and that I need to make better "sets" so that the finished meals looks appetizing and gorgeous.
You can see some of my in-studio work (please be kind!) on my Flickr account.
While I was very happy and proud of what I accomplished with the launch of my cookbook last September, I know it can be so much more. I also know it hasn't reached a large enough market and I'm constantly told how good the book is, and that there are very few others like it!
A very lofty goal is to turn my book into a video course. This would be a huge undertaking and one that I don't think I can manage on my own.
I mentioned the healthy eating and nutrition webinar above, but in the meantime I am working on an "auto-responder" course, so that when you subscribe to Eat, Move, Be, you get access to a 10-week free course (or whatever length of time I decide upon).
From what I've read this is a more effective way to help people make changes, and to digest information, than giving it all away in a free eBook. Stay tuned!
Thank you for reading and thank you if you are a follower or subscriber to Eat, Move, Be. Without you this site would not exist. You, my audience, are and will always be the people to whom I am most grateful. And thank you to everyone who bought Cook a Week of Meals in 4 Hours!
And talk to me – leave comments on my posts, email me, asks questions. The best way for me to improve is to know I am helping you directly.
I had been following Corbett Barr on his former website, ThinkTraffic, for several months before I decide to become a member of his training website and forum, Fizzle, so that I could take his course, Start a Blog That Matters.
I joined in late November 2013 when I realized I needed to pivot, close AllAboutMealPlanning and start something new. I spent a couple of months absorbing the training and actively engaging other members in the forum. Fizzle provided the most intelligent and thoughtful training I had ever come across on how to build a blog that would truly matter.
What I most liked about the training was that it didn't tell me what to do, rather it taught me how to think through the process step-by-step to create something unique.
Thanks to the Fizzle team of Corbett Barr, Caleb Wojcik, Chase Reeves and Barrett Brooks for all their help and individual interactions.

To my dear friend, Ron, who has been (and continues to be) a constant supporter of my work and a long-term client, I don't know how I would've made it this far without your investment and support.
And of course a heartfelt thank you to my partner, lover and best friend, Christiaan. For your love, support, editorial feedback and nonjudgmental ear, I really appreciate all the times you've been there just to listen to my rants. You make me laugh, feel young at heart and feel alive.
I was really bummed out yesterday, not so much depressed as I was questioning everything I was doing and the value of what I was doing. I was so stuck in that vicious mental cycle of self questioning and doubt that I could not focus on editing the draft of the post I planned to publish.
Today is so much better!
Sometimes when we find ourselves in that kind of a state we might choose to stay there. Other times it's really important to move your body as vigorously as possible, to literally shake yourself out of it. Yesterday I knew there was value remaining in that state. I pondered, stewed, reflected, journaled and came to some healthy conclusions about what would make be most happy going forward.
I am happy and proud of what I have created with Eat, Move, Be.
They say it can take up to five years for a business to really take off and become successful. While this may be year-one for my website, this is not the first time I've done this. I hope that my previous experiences will help propel me more quickly to success on all levels.
So much of that success depends on you – your enjoyment, feedback, sharing and consuming of what I have to offer.
Eat well, move often and be your very best!

Matchmaking is the process of matching two or more people together, usually for the purpose of marriage , but the word is also used in the context of sporting events such as boxing, in business, in online video games and in pairing organ donors. In some cultures, the role of the matchmaker was and is quite professionalised.
The Ashkenazi Jewish shadchan , or the Hindu astrologer , were often thought to be essential advisors and also helped in finding right spouses as they had links and a relation of good faith with the families. In cultures where arranged marriages were the rule, the astrologer often claimed that the stars sanctified matches that both parents approved of, making it quite difficult for the possibly-hesitant children to easily object — and also making it easy for the astrologer to collect his fee.
Social dance , especially in frontier North America, the contra dance and square dance , has also been employed in matchmaking, usually informally.

Last December, we rolled out phase one of our improvements for matchmaking , which featured an entirely new matchmaker built specifically to suit Heroes of the Storm. Take a look at stats from before the new matchmaker went live, and after:. Along with the rebuilt matchmaker, we also decreased the likelihood that inexperienced players will be matched up against those with a lot of games, and game knowledge, under their belts.
Prior to phase one, about games out of every 10, pit new players against veterans. After phase one, this has dropped to roughly 5 games in 10, —which we feel is a significant reduction. Our December 15 patch brought a new rule to Quick Match that prevents teams with one or more Warriors in their compositions from matching against teams without one. Full parties were playing against solo players a little too often prior to our first phase of matchmaking improvements.
After rolling out phase one of matchmaking changes, we heard feedback that playing against parties as a group of solos was still a source of frustration for some players and, after investigation, implemented a new rule that greatly reduced the chance that this could occur. Our most recent release brought a new rule for Hero League matchmaking , which greatly reduces the likelihood that Rank 1 players will be matched with or against others below Rank 4.

N2 – Web services have a potential to enhance B2B e-commerce over the internet by allowing companies and organisations to publish their business processes on service directories where potential trading partners can find them. This can give rise to new business paradigms based on ad-hoc trading relations as companies, particularly small to medium scale, can cheaply and flexibly enter into fruitful contracts, e.
More business process support by the web service infrastructure is however needed before such a paradigm change can materialise. The current infrastructure does not provide sufficient support for searching and matching business processes. We believe that such a service is needed and will enable companies and organisations to establish ad-hoc business relations without relying on manually negotiated frame contracts like RosettaNet PIPs.
This paper gives a formal semantics to business process matchmaking and an operational description for matchmaking.
We look forward to seeing you at the State Construction Conference and the Annual Networking Reception & Matchmaking Event on Thursday, March 24, !
Five years ago, I met with a matchmaker. I went in scornful. Like many of my progressive South Asian peers, I denounced arranged marriage as offensive and regressive. But when the matchmaker recited her lengthy questionnaire, I grasped, if just for a beat, why people did things this way. Do you believe in a higher power? No idea.

But in the time of coronavirus, when most potential couples are in quarantine, many young Koreans are pondering deeply the meaning of dating and marriage — and the more they contemplate on the process, the more it changes their views as well as the role of their matchmaker.
With the surge of COVID cases across the country, Lee said that it is the first time that Duo closed its office in more than 20 years. Since March, Lee has been pairing and giving marriage advice to various Korean Americans, many of whom are young. One of her clients, for instance, is a young Korean-American male who was worried about how he would look on a video call.

Success of Web services mainly depends on the availability of tools facilitating usage of technology within the addressed B2B integration problems. One severe problem in loosely coupled systems is service discovery including a sufficient matchmaking definition. The concept for service discovery in web service architecture is UDDI providing limited querying functionality and not being capable to deal with the multiple dimensions of a service, like for example semantic, workflow, or Quality of Service aspects.

We spoke at length about the improved matchmaker in the Common Test announcement. The improved matchmaker builds two teams with several key criteria in mind. Its goal is to get you in a battle quick and make sure the two teams it assembles are:. To do so the system analyzes vehicles in the queue and chooses one out of a set of templates; server-side algorithms with team makeups that define the tier spread and vehicle distribution at the top, middle and bottom of the list.
The variant you land depends on the queue composition, but whichever you get, there will be no battles where vehicles in the middle are outnumbered by those at the top. This way, the matchmaker ensures that regardless of your position on the list, there are always enough players in the same position on your team to have a real chance in battle.
In this case, you can get a two-level or single-level battle. However, if it sees that this will have you waiting for quite a while, it will match you into a battle with a suitable tier split. Step 1. Defining the battle tier spread and game mode. First, the matchmaker defines the number of tankers and Platoons suitable for each battle tier and game mode.

2015 Theme Saints and Scholars
Official Opening of the Summer School
by Minister of State Joe McHugh T.D.
Minister of State Joe McHugh TD opening the 2015 Summer School
First Session:
'Favourers, intercessors and patrons: why the Irish saints mattered so much to the Irish Franciscans'
By Dr John McCafferty
Professor John McCafferty speaking at the opening lecture.
The first talk of the evening was by Dr John McCafferty, Director of the Mícheál Ó Cléirigh Institute UCD who set out the theme for the weekend talks. There was a hierarchy of Saints in the Europe of the late Middle Ages and to the many Irish friars who fled Ireland in the wake of the Elizabethian conquest, found that the Irish saints that they were familiar with were not known about on the European continent and even those saints that founded monasteries in the far flung reaches of the continent in the ninth and tenth Centuries were often given the Latin name for the Irish "Scotus" which by the late Middle Ages became synonymous with the country Scotland. This caused them great concern and spurred them on to begin work on the Hagiography of Irish saints led by Br Mícheál Ó Cléirigh and begun in 1623 with his return to Ireland.
Dark Daughter – A Play by Soinbhe Lally
Local author Soinbhe Lally's play telling the story of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill or Iníon Dubh, wife of Aodh Dubh Uí Domhnaill and mother of Aodh Ruaidh Uí Domhnaill (Red Hugh O'Donnell) traces the events in the period after the death of Aodh Ruaidh in Spain in 1602 and when Iníon Dubh "Dark Daughter" commissioned Lughaidh Ó Cléirigh to write the story of her eldest son and his exploits. The book is called Beatha Aodh Ruaidh Uí Domhnaill (The Life of Red Hugh O'Donnell) and was written sometime before 1623.
The play is produced by Christian Carbin and directed by Arantxa Lopez.

From Tír Conaill to Bavaria: the extraordinary career of Muiredach mac Robartaig'
by Dr Dagmar Ó Riain Raedel UCC.
Dr Dagmar Ó Riain Raedel
Dr Dagmar Ó Riain Raedel Dr Dagmar Ó Riain-Raedel has been a member of the Department of History, University College Cork with a special research interest in Medieval History. She has lectured and published widely on the connections between Ireland and Europe from 600 to the 19th century. In this talk she told the story of Muirdach Mac Robartaig who in 1067 left Ireland intending to visit Rome. Whilst in Bamberg, Germany, he became a Benedictine monk and he and some companions travelled to Ratisbon or Regensburg in Bavaria where they founded a monastery called Kloster Sankt Peter Regensburg |the monastery of St. Peter) Muiredach became its first Abbot and was known by his Latinised name of Marianus Scotus. He died in 1088 and soon after was beatified his feast day celebrated on the 17th April. He is also known for his work on the scriptures with his calligraphy work of the Codex 1247 of the Imperial Library of Vienna containing the Epistles of St. Paul with glosses, some of which are in Latin and others in Irish.

The Plantation in Donegal and Bishop George Montgomery
by Helen Meehan
Helen Meehan
Helen Meehan is a former President of the Donegal Historical Society and was born in Frosses Co Donegal Helen is a retired primary School teacher and in n 2012 was awarded an Honorary Masters Degree by National University of Ireland, Galway in recognition of her work in the genealogy, folklore and local history of County Donegal.
Bishop George Montgomery (1562–1621) was born in Broadstone Castle in Ayrshire, the youngest son of Adam Montgomery 5th Laird of Braidstaine and brother of Hugh Montgomery who along with Sir James Hamilton carried out their private plantation scheme of Clandeboy on the lands of Sir Conn O'Neill situated in South Co Antrim and North Down.
Helen told the story of George Montgomery who was appointed Bishop of Raphoe, Clogher and Derry by King James I in 1605. He lobbied to have free schools set up in Ulster and was instrumental in pursuing the allocation of church lands back to the Established Anglican Church. This pursuit led him into direct conflict with those former army officers who had been granted monastic and other church lands in the period after the Treaty of Mellifont and the completion of the dissolution of the monasteries in Ulster.
Eventually political expediency solved the issue with Bishop Montgomery receiving the more lucrative Bishopric of Meath in 1610 though he retained the Bishopric of Raphoe until his death in 1620. He is buried at Ardbraccan Church near Navan in Co Meath.
Life and times of Flan O'Clery- Sandhouse Hotel
Madeleine Cleary
Pictured here is Madeleine Cleary giving the talk on the life and times of Flan O,Clery who was a cousin of Lughaidh UíCléirigh, author of the "Beatha Aodha Ruaidh Uí Dhomhnaill". The talk was the culmination of extensive research into the story of Flan Ó Clery whose tombstone is one of the oldest in the Abbey Assaroe graveyard outside Ballyshannon.
Madeleine discovered a wealth of information about her ancestor by researching through the archives at Trinity College. The former O'Clery lands at Kilbarron were granted in part to Trinity College and the Anglican Bishop of Raphoe. The O'Clerys now found that they were the tenants and leased back some of the lands from Trinity through their agent Lord Folliott and later through the Conolly estate.

Ecological and Historic walk to Kilbarron Castle
led by Ruth Cleary

Everyone met at the Creevy Pier Car park where the walk was led by Ruth Cleary. Ruth Cleary had recently completed an Ecological report on the ruins of Kilbarron castle-part pf the recently completed Conservation Report on the castle. She is very familiar with the flora & fauna of the area.
The Kilbarron Castle and Conservation Group was formed in 2013 and are striving to conserve the ruins of the castle which was a bardic school founded by Diarmaid na dTrí Scoil in the 15th Century and remained a place of learning until the early 17th Century when Lughaidh Ó Cléirigh, the last Ollamh to the Ó Domhnaill (O'Donnells), was compelled to leave his clan lands at Kilbarron and move to Glenswilly in the Barony of Kilmacrennan.

A Visit to the ruins of Kilbarron Church and Dedication to the Childrens graveyard
Kilbarron Church
Image of the plaque dedicated on Saturday 16th May
A dedication of a plaque to remember the children buried in the vicinity of the ruins took place. The prayers were led by Fr Vincent Galloghley. Although the church was abandoned sometime after the Plantation of Ulster, the established Anglican church was built sometime around 1625 in the nearby town of Ballyshannon. The ruins were clandestinely used for mass services right through Penal times.
Part of the graveyard continued to be used to bury stillborn and unbaptised babies as the Catholic church at that time decreed that those unbaptised to be buried in un-consecrated ground. The memorial records this time.

Workshop in Hall:
The Story of "Dark Daughter" and Lughaidh Ó Cléirigh.
A number of people including the author of "Dark Daughter" Soinbhe Lally discussed the historic background to the events portrayed in the play seen on the previous night.
The discussion examined the life of Lughaidh Ó Cléirigh who succeeded to the hereditary role of Chief Ollamh to the ruling O'Donnell clan of Tír Chonnaill. The role of an ollamh was partly advisor, lawyer and chronicler to a particular ruling family. With the defeat of the Ulster Gaelic Chieftains at Kinsale in 1602 and the subsequent Flight of the Earls in 1607, families attached to these former rulers found that they were out of work and additionally lost lands bestowed on them by and large in the Plantation of Ulster.
Lughaidh was summoned to the Inquisition at Liffer (Lifford) in September 1609 where he stated that " the parish of Kilbarron contains five quarters in all, whereof one quarter is herenach land possessed by the sept of the Cleries as herenaehes, paying thereout yearlie to the lord busshopp of Raphoe thirteen shillings four pence Irish per annum, six meathers of butter, and thirty-four meathers of meale ; and that there is one quarter named Kildoned, in the tenure of the said sept of the Cleries, free from any tithes to the busshopp," &c. And again, " That there are in the said parishe three quarters of Collumbkillies land, everie quarter conteyninge sixe balliboes in the tenure of Lewe O'Cleerie, to whom the said lands were sithence mortgaged for fortie pounds, by the said lateEarle of Tirconnell unto the said Lewe, who hath paid there- out yearly unto his Majestie, since the late earl's departure, four poundes, two muttons, and a pair of gloves, but nothing to the said busshopp."
A Panel discussion was held in the hall after seeing a short film on The coming of the Franciscans to Rossnowlagh in 1952
People arriving at Rossnowlagh Station for the opening of the Friary in 1952
The friars arrived in Rossnowlagh in July, 1946 and their first Church, made from two army huts, was blessed by Monsignor McGinley on July 22nd, 1946. On August 3rd, 1946, Very Rev. Fr. Camillus Courtney OFM. was appointed first superior of the new Franciscan community in Rossnowlagh.
Eventually the present site of the friary was obtained and, on April 23rd. 1950, the cutting of the first sod of the Church foundation took place. October 8th, 1950 is another very important day in the history of Franciscan Rossnowlagh, for on that day Monsignor McGinley blessed the foundation Stone of the new Church. The blessing and dedication of the church took place on 29th June, 1952. Present for this great occasion were President Sean T. O'Ceallaigh, Mr. Eamonn De Valera, Taoiseach, Dr. McNeely, Bishop of Raphoe and Fr. Hubert Quinn OFM., Provincial.
The friars to whom God has given the grace of working should work in a spirit of faith and devotion and avoid idleness, which is the enemy of the soul, without however extinguishing the spirit of prayer and devotion, to which every temporal consideration must be subordinate. Second Rule of St. Francis (5th. Chapter). (Extract taken from Our History – Rossnowlagh Friary )
Fifth Session: Keynote Address
The Br. Pascal Williamson Memorial Lecture
The Saints of South Donegal
by Dr. Pádraig Ó Riain
At the Saints of South Donegal lecture- Maureen Finnegan speaking about Br Pascal Williamson.
Professor Emeritus Padráig Ó Riain UCC
Dr. Pádraig Ó Riain is Emeritus Professor of Early and Medieval Irish at University College, Cork
Pádraig Ó Riain is an Irish Celticist and prominent hagiologist focusing on Irish hagiography, martyrdom, mythology, onomastics and codicology. He has spent much of his academic life at the University College, Cork where he became a lecturer in 1964. Between 1973 and his retirement, he was professor of Old and Middle Irish. He has been a member of the Royal Irish Academy since 1989, president of the Irish Texts Society since 1992, Parnell Fellow at Magdalene College Cambridge since 2002.
St Finnian
In his lecture he discussed the overlapping of Saint's names where often the same person was known by different names giving the example of St Colman who is likely to be the same person as St Canice. He went further to explain that St Barron or Barr Fhionn could be the same person as St Finnbarr of Cork and both names may have been nicknames (as the name means a blond or white haired person) for St Finnian of Movilla founder of that monastery in north Co Down.
This research caused a stir in Cork some years ago and came to the attention of the press who reported the annoyance of some people to the fact that their St Finnbarr might not have been a Cork native! Professor Ó Riain explained that in the middle ages Saints were a bit like pop stars today and attracted a following and churches were often named after a particular popular saint favoured by a church dignitary or a local chieftain and later given a local narrative either by that Saint visiting the area or by him or her being a native of the district.
Listening intently
Conference Dinner
This event was held in the Sandhouse Hotel in Rossnowlagh. There was a large attendance and after the dinner and after a round up of the weekend events was given by committee member Michael McLoone, everyone moved to the stage area where entertainment was provided by the singers of Bel Canto led by their musical director Angela Currid. Afterwards the Summer School Club took place with an opportunity for participants to meet the speakers and others to discuss the issues that arise in the school.

Then travelled southwards to Ballyshannon onwards to Kinlough stopping at the memorial to the Four Masters erected on Mullinaleck Bridge. Then to Tullaghan where the Bundoran Historic Society hosted a reception and the group will saw the ruins beside the Drowes reputed to be the site where the Annals were written by Br Mícheál and his collaborators.

The inscription
The memorial to the Four Masters was erected on Mullinaleck bridge on the 10th August 1975 by the Dublin Leitrim Society. The memorial was designed by by Irish sculptor, James McKenna. He was born in Dublin on the 21st June 1933. Growing up in Co. Wicklow, James was educated at Kilcool National School, Bray Technical School and the National College of Art and Design, (now the NCAD) in Dublin from 1950 – 1955. He qualified with a Diploma in Sculpture and won a scholarship to Florence. He was responsible for many public art works including Couple at Ballyrahan Cross, 1798 bronze 1969, Famine Village 1998 and Warriors of Banba in 1999 . He died in the year 2000.
The monument was strategically sited on Mullinaleck bridge as it is not known for definite which side of the River Drowes, the boundary between Donegal and Leitrim, that was the site of the scriptorium used by the annalists. In the early 17th Century the area was heavily wooded and gave easy escape routes with the nearby Lough Melvin. On the Leitrim side of the river is an area jutting into Lough Melvin known as Ros Brathar or Rosfriar (Friars point). Whilst on the Donegal side of the river in the townland of Ardfarna is an area reputed to be the site of the temporary monastery. It is perhaps worth noting that the nearby lands of Drumacrin(which likely included Ardfarna) were granted to the Ua Cléirigh clan by the O'Donnells in the 15th century and would have been familiar to the O'Clery members of the Franciscans at that time.
Bundoran Historical Society Reception
The group were invited to refreshments and entertainment by the Bundoran Historical Society in Val Kelly's house in Tullaghan where the group saw the possible site of the castle erected by the O'Conors of Sligo in the 14th century and later destroyed by the O'Donnells.
After the Treaty of Mellifont in 1603 Henry Folliott was charged with maintaining the castles at Ballyshannon, Drowes and Beleck(Belleek) at his own expense but was granted the Abbey Assaroe lands south of the River Erne. Later he would purchase the Abbey lands north of the river from Auditor General Sir Francis Gofton .

HIDDEN EMPIRE
Vol. I of the Saga of Seven Suns
by Kevin J. Anderson
Anderson has keyboarded installments beyond number of the Star Wars, X-Files, and, with Brian Herbert, Dune series, hitting the bestseller lists, which he's also hit in novels with L. Ron Hubbard, Doug Beason, the SF anthology Dogged Persistence (2001), and, most recently, a solo novel, Hopscotch (2002). Now he sets out to create an epic serial saga of his own, saying that his models come from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time epic fantasy series—and from Terry Brooks's Shannara novels, which long ago kicked off the Ballantine Del Rey imprint and were indebted to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. In Hidden Empire, humans are laggards in space exploration and development and find themselves assisted by the intelligent and advanced race of Ildirans, ruled by a Mage-Emperor. About 11 human generations ago, in the 1940s, the Ildirans discovered the empty cities of the insectlike Klikiss robots on the ice moons of Hyrillka. Now, in 2427, cosmo-archaeologists Margaret and Louis Colicos, who have dug through many lost civilizations, assemble the leaders of the Terran Hanseatic League to witness a discovery they've adapted from the Klikiss robot race that vanished 5,000 years ago: How to use the Klikiss Torch and turn a pastel globe of hydrogen gas five times the size of Jupiter into a small sun and, using its many moons, create a new solar system rife with commercial possibilities. But when they implode the ball of gas, a bad thing happens: the awakening of a formerly unknown race, the Hydrogues. Anderson thinks his story character-driven and has already keyboarded Book Two. We find it wondrously imagined and zip-driven in paper-thin rose.
Loyalists will leap aboard and groan with delight at a cliffhanger ending that arrives all too soon.

Digital cameras opened the door to easy and entertaining photography. However, consumer digital cameras also have their drawbacks: they often produce the so-called digital noise. It can be seen as grains that compromise the smoothness of the photo. It is especially annoying on the skin as it makes it uneven. This kind of noise is called luminance noise.

The Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage creates the First "Olympic Agora" in Tokyo
Union News 31/01/2020 02:39 م
The Olympic Movement's vision to build a better world by celebrating how sport brings us together.
The "Olympic Agora", a tradition from Ancient Greece, will come to an ultra-modern Tokyo neighborhood for the Olympic Games 2020, thanks to the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage, supported by Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., the Official Partner of this unique cultural project.
Greek towns had an agora – a vibrant public space where the people gathered to eat, drink, sing, buy, sell, discuss politics and revel in urban life. For Tokyo 2020, the "Olympic Agora" will come alive from 24 April to 16 August in the city's exciting Nihonbashi district. Here, the Olympic Movement's link between sport and culture will be on bright display, showcasing the worldwide cultural and social impact of the Olympic Games. This colorful destination will encourage intercultural dialogue, bringing Japan and the world together in both a physical space and the digital realm through social media.
A range of activities and events will welcome the public in a fun and festive atmosphere and bring beloved Olympic treasures to Nihonbashi, the business district that is often called the "center of Japan", including the torches and medals from past Games. The Olympic Agora, festooned with "Olympic Welcome" banners, will launch with an exhibition dedicated to Olympic Art and Culture at Mitsui Memorial Museum in late April 2020. More exhibitions and special programs will be presented at various indoor and outdoor venues across the neighborhood, all located within walking distance.


- Paulo, on the training camp in Turkey, you were somewhat unlucky in terms of weather. And what pleased you the most?
- The dedication of every player and compromising with one another while doing the job. And, you're right, of course, the weather upset me. This year, we've really been a little bit unlucky, because there were multiple showers. Nevertheless, I like to come with the team to Turkey, where there are excellent conditions for training camps.
- In friendlies, you tried to distribute the game time among them all. In which game were you more satisfied with your men's performance?
- Frankly speaking, I liked every game. Of course, when you lose, you're not that happy. But I've got to admit that in the test games I don't really pay attention to the outcome. Although if you ask me whether I like to win, I will say 'of course'. There were different friendlies, more or less difficult. If we drop a couple of things individual performance wise, then I liked everything.
- What's your impression of Valerii Bondarenko and Manor Solomon?
- Unfortunately, Bondarenko trained very little with us: he got in trouble, he got injured, so I can't yet evaluate his work more specifically. Solomon? He meets the club policy requirements. He's the young player we've watched for some time. Having come to Shakhtar, Manor proves that he's got all the attributes and can really help us. He's hard-working, he wants to learn, and I'm happy with his performance. Although we shouldn't forget that he's just arrived, being the young football player who's left his country for the first time and currently integrating into a specific playing style of ours. The rest have been working with me for two and a half years now, they know what to do, while he's just learning. But I really like this player.
- There was a group of young guys present on the training camp: Anatolii Trubin, Mykhailo Mudryk, Valerii Bondar, Viktor Korniienko, Serhii Chobotenko made one appearance. What's your take on their progress?
- I must admit that some situations were unforeseen. The only thing we discussed in advance was Mudryk joining the team. Due to the injuries of Ordets and Bondarenko, we needed some central defenders to help us during the training camp. I was pleased with their performance, especially with that of Bondar. He's a smart player with character, he's young, he faces big competition in the future, but at the moment I hope that he will stay with us. I'm really delighted about his job.
- How do you see the nearest future of Mudryk and Sikan?
- It depends on the players only. Of course, they are really gifted. I sincerely believe that Mudryk's full of talent, but he still needs to learn many things, and the most important thing is that he himself must understand that. He doesn't know everything yet. And if Mykhailo really wants to become a top player, he will need to change his behaviour a little. Now regarding Sikan. Danylo is a very kind, great and capable guy. This is his first time in this kind of environment, but he always works to the max, to the limit. It's clear that tactically and technically, he's still got room for growth, but he boasts excellent behaviour and dedication.
This is a reminder that the UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg Shakhtar vs Eintracht kicks off at 22:00 in Kharkiv on February 14. You can purchase the tickets at the OSK Metalist ticket office and online, at shakhtar.com.

Q: Bing maps api works on pc but not mobile web app I really hope someone can help with my problem.  I have built a mobile web app http://ufa-ld-qa.azurewebsites.net/ (the QA site) with asp.net mvc4 using Bing Maps API for various functionality in the app.  I am having problems with the directions module.  When I view the site on my pc (Chrome and IE) it works fine and I see no errors but on mobile devices it is not working (but it did work fine yesterday when we launched to QA).  I have used HTML5 geolocation (this may be the issue) to get user's location to allow them to get directions to a location.  I will post my code below and if anyone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.  We have tested it on about 7 different mobile devices with different OS's and it doesn't work on any.  Does anyone know if this is a Bing issue or my code below?  Thanks so much in advance.

A: A couple of things to try. First ensure that your app is allowed to access the users location. Most mobile platforms require you to mark that the app requires access to the GPS in the manifest. Another thing to look into is the possibility that the userLocation isn't populated before your callback for the directions manager is called. It's possible that the GPS takes a little longer on the mobile device to find the users location and as such the directions loaded function is firing before the users location is set, thus passing in a null starting . You might find it useful to have a flag to indicate that the directions manager has loaded and a simple function that runs after setting the flag and also runs after setting the use location that checks that both the directions manager has loaded and the user location has been set and then calls your directions loaded function.

In improvisational theater, "status" refers to the power difference in the relationship between two characters. A character in a high status behaves dominantly towards a character in a lower status. A character of low status is subordinate to the higher-status character, accommodating his or her actions to the other's cues. The current status the characters have between one another is recognizable in the body language, actions, and manner of speaking of the actors.
Keith Johnstone understands status as something one does, independent of the social status one has. Social status represents one's rank in a social order. At the upper end are secular and spiritual leaders (kings, priests), at the bottom end, dependents and outcasts. Social rank is approximately demonstrated through offices, titles, awards, and status symbols. Johnstone's "status", on the other hand, comes from the behavior of the characters in a specific encounter. He stresses that there is no neutral status; rather, some sort of difference is always present. A good actor is always conscious of the relative status of the portrayed characters and can playfully vary it.
Generally, it is sensible to play characters with different statuses, because this enlivens the action and also offers the chance for changes. Some games place status in the foreground; for example, the classic "status swap", the "status chain", and the "guess the status".
Low Status: Quiet, mumbling, faltering, fast.
High Status: typically deep, relaxed.
High Status: Calm and regular.
Comment: Holding one's breath can be either. Low-status characters hold their breath for fear or shock. High-status characters hold their breath to strengthen a threatening gesture.
Low Status: Shy away from touching others. Acquiesce to unwanted contact.
High Status: Don't touch. But also: ostentatious self-contact.
Low Status: Awkward or embarrassed gestures: run your fingers through your hair, rub your face.
High Status: Look directly, with a duration appropriate to the social situation - not too long, not too short. But also: dominant staredown, hypnotic gaze.
Low Status: Rapidly avert your eyes, and avoid long eye contact. Unsteady gaze. But also: admiring, naive, or socially inappropriate stare.
Comment: Eye contact makes very complex social interactions possible. According to Keith Johnstone, the length of eye contact does not affect status, only the reaction to being stared at.
High Status: Always finds the correct words and gestures. Knows what is appropriate to the situation and acts appropriately. "Knows how to behave" Also knows when to say or do nothing. Flexible, principled, decisive, discerning. But also: breaks with social convention as needed.
Low Status: Is always wrong, interrupting with talking, blabbing something. Violates social norms out of fear, insecurity or weakness. But also: know-it-all attitude, arrogance, stubbornness, incorrigibility.
High Status: Knows no problems. Can go around any situation. Always knows what to do. Always has a good one. Answers and yet an ace up the sleeve. Knows priorities.
Low Status: Sees problems all the time and everywhere. Fails at the smallest daily routines. But also: fails to recognize the actual problems that other players are dealing with.
High Status: Let yourself bring nothing but peace, even in completely hopeless situations. Scream only to show your superiority.
Low Status: Let yourself easily unsettled. Starts to panic easily. Is easy to provoke. Throws a fit when touched upon a raw nerve. Pleads for mercy.
High Status: Asks when he feels like it and however he sees fit. Asks out of curiosity. Interrogates, spies, sells, makes one uncertain with well-aimed questions. Who asks, leads.
Low Status: Asks to appease the high status. Ask from uncertainty and to not decide for yourself. But also: lets opportunities for important questions be missed out of fear. It is simple to come up with clever questions.
The status of a figure has nothing to do with whether they are sympathetic or unsympathetic Likewise, under certain circumstances, the status may be the exact opposite than what "is socially expected" - this is the usually the audience's particular favorite. For example, if an employee/student (low social status) reacts particularly impertinent against or superior than the chief/teacher (high social status).
Usually people with high status and people with low status have a high and low self-confidence, respectively. The characteristics of high and low status described above relate primarily to low / high self-confidence. A person with low social status can absolutely have a normal or high self-confidence (literary example: Soldier Schweik) or the opposite.
It is a common mistake to confuse the high status with arrogance. A genuine high status does not necessarily imply arrogance. :-) In the other hand, highly respected and powerful personalities react often very politely, diplomatically, and kindly. Queen Elizabeth II would never rumble around loudly. But when she said she was "not amused" she froze the blood of people around her.
Keith Johnstone observed that every person prefers a certain status. Many actors are specialized in either high or low status. He also observes that many actors estimate the effect of their acting wrongly. They mean to behave friendly, when others see them as hostile.
Status cannot only play against people, but also to things or rooms. Therefore, you can feel approximately like the fool in the throne room at home, while the king moves anxiously and unsafe there. A chewing gun can be spit casually by Paula (high status), and then taken and put in a vitrine by Paul, who is, unluckily, in love with her (low status).
It is important for games like combat status or classic status change that the state is always defined relative to someone or something else. Keith Johnstone used the image of a state change, which can be moved in two ways. Either I diminish the status of the other ("you stink"), or I exalt my own ("I smell good"). By the fight for the low status, I either lower my own status ("I'm a worthless worm") or raise the status of the other ("You shining hero!"). Johnstone recommends to alternate between the two methods in every sentence.
Strengthening low status: To patronize and incapacitate yourself.
Remarks: Typical dialogue: "pull your cap, it's cold outside" - "Yes, mom". "Have no fear, I will protect you!" "Oh, my hero!"
Strengthening high status: Abuse the others. Praise yourself. But also: make accurate compliments.
Strengthening low status: Abuse of yourself. Praise, venerate, glorify, admire the others.
Remarks: That is the most applied stylistic device in comedies of all kinds.
Strengthening high status: Prominent gestures. Occupy space. Take the center.
Strengthening low status: Make small gestures. Shrink the radius of movement. Draw back to the sides of the stage. Give the stage to the characters of high status. Keep distance from the characters of high status and their space.
Strengthening high status: To stand up. Straighten the body. Put yourself in a pedestal.
Strengthening low status: Bend, buck, cower. Knee to the others, throw yourself on the ground.
Remarks: The relative height of the head between the two actors is decisive. The high status towers over the low status. But: to sit uninvitedly can also raise the status, because you take more space.
Strengthening high status: Approach the others. Invade the personal are of others. Touch. But also: invite the others to get closer.
Strengthening low status: Get out of the way of others. But also: tolerate contact.
Remarks: The significance from the vicinity/distance interactions are very complex. For status changes, the important question is: who initiated the change in distance and how to react to the other? Distinguish between personal protection range (up to about 0.5 m), the social sector (about 0.5 to 3m) and the long-range (over 3m).
The rule of thumb "high status can't be taken, its alluded" emphasizes that the relative status in a real meeting is important. When two typical actors step on the stage, let the status between the two establish easily, as the lower status character clearly subordinate to the other.
Through exaggeration or irony, the effect of many agents also reverse! Who erects in comparison to another, raises his status, but who climbs the wardrobe because the other is over the table makes himself ridiculous and lowers his status.


The ash tree is a much loved part of the British landscape and is a feature of much folklore. Yggdrasill the world tree of Norse cosmology was an ash and was seen to connect us to the Otherworld.
It is not just bat workers who have been greatly saddened by the news that Ash die back disease in widespread in the Country .
Ash is an important habitat for many creatures including bats and if there is widespread removal of infected trees, this will have a catastrophic effect on wildlife.
The Bat Conservation Trust is working very closely with The Forestry Commission to develop an appropriate policy to deal with this out break.
Ash trees make an important contribution to biodiversity and wildlife habitat and this includes use by bats for roosting where suitable opportunities arise. The recent confirmation of dieback in ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior) has implications for bats and UK biodiversity from the loss of trees to the disease and potentially from the measures put in place to limit the disease spread. BCT is working with the Forestry Commission to assess the situation as is it develops and put protocols and procedures in place that ensure that whilst carrying out the vital work to control the spread of the disease, that bats are protected.
The disease caused by the fungus Chalara fraxinea causes leaf loss and crown dieback in affected trees, and it can lead to tree death. It is a significant threat to one of our widespread native trees. Ash is the third most common broadleaf native tree species in Great Britain after oak and birch and is the predominant tree species in approximately 129,000 hectares of woodland in Britain. The fungus has caused widespread damage to ash tree populations in continental Europe and has the potential to kill millions of ash trees if it becomes widely established in Great Britain. The spread of this disease would pose a serious threat to associated biodiversity, including bats, and measures to prevent its spread are imperative. However, the potential for large-scale destruction of mature ash trees has raised concerns about the impact on roosting bats.
The reported 50,000 trees already destroyed were all young transplants and nursery stock that were known or likely to be infected with C. fraxinea. Bats roost in mature ash trees and to date no mature trees were included in the destruction measures.
Immediate work is focusing on identifying the locations where this disease is present. Currently this is largely restricted to Norfolk and Suffolk.
If the disease is found a containment notice will be issued to prevent plant material being moved off site.
Whether further containment action is required, such as tree felling, will be determined once the extent of disease after the initial survey work has been determined. The fungus does not produce spores at this time of year so immediate action is not required.
If it is decided that some felling action is required then a destruction notice will be placed on the site.
In the interim time the Forestry Commission and BCT will work closely together to produces a protocol that will i) Control the spread of the disease and (ii) Protect bats.
The fungal spores are spread by the wind. There is no evidence of transmission by humans or animals.
