Home80sInterview with Michael O'Keefe from 'Caddyshack' & More
Interview with Michael O'Keefe from 'Caddyshack' & More
OldSchool80s 6/19/2020
(This interview was originally published May 20, 2012 on the now-retired Kickin' it Old School blog. It is one installment in an incredible series of interviews we are republishing on Rediscover the '80s for posterity and your enjoyment. These are more than just interviews in a way; they are more like '80s timelines or oral histories on their respective subject matters. Please keep in mind the original date because some content could be specific to the time of the interview, though the majority should be timeless and totally rad.)
When the opportunity presents itself to ask a few questions to someone who contributed to the awesomeness of the '80s, I will continue to share those answers with you right here. Again, lucky for me (and hopefully you), I do get to share a little more awesomeness with you.
This time that awesomeness is Michael O'Keefe. He is probably best remembered as "Danny Noonan" in 1980's Caddyshack which continues to be one of my favorite comedies of all time. Some might not remember that prior to that he received an Oscar nomination for his role as Robert Duvall's son in 1979's The Great Santini. O'Keefe has since worked steadily in film, television as well as stage taking on both comedy and drama in well over 100 roles and counting. Find out a little about him, making Caddyshack and more as we get on to some selections from my interview with Michael O'Keefe.
Q: When and how did you get your start in acting? Did you ever have any formal acting training? When did you think that it had the potential to become a career for you?
Michael: My parents bought a home in Larchmont, New York that the prior owners rented for commercial shoots. My mother was approached, accepted the offer, and the agent noticed several kids, me, and my brothers and sisters, all of whom he represented for commercials and print ads. All of my other siblings, except my brother Kevin, moved on, and Kevin and I continued acting. I trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in their teen program, the Colonnades Theater Lab in the '70s, and am a member of the Actor's Studio. I knew in high school I had a shot of making it as an actor and I took it.
O'Keefe did make his acting debut in a 1970 television commercial for Colgate. He then made his television debut in 1974 and had several roles prior to his first feature film including M*A*S*H and The Waltons among others. He made his feature film debut in 1978's Gray Lady Down which starred Charlton Heston and also marked the film debut of Christopher Reeve.
Q: I would be remiss if I did not ask about your Oscar-nominated role in 1979's The Great Santini. What do you remember about going through all of the Academy Awards hoopla and all of that positive attention? What can you tell us about your experience working with Robert Duvall?
Michael: Duvall, was then, and is now, a genius and had a profound influence on me. Academy Awards are something of a blur but I do remember my mother coming and buying a gown the day before in Beverly Hills, which my girlfriend at the time, Laurie Prange, helped her with. That was fun!
The Great Santini was released in late October of 1979 so that's close enough to include in the '80s for me. The film stars Robert Duvall in the title role and O'Keefe as his son "Ben Meechum". Impressively, both Duvall and O'Keefe received Academy Award nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role and Supporting Role respectively. O'Keefe lost out to Timothy Hutton for Ordinary People, but it certainly allowed people to take notice. Here is a memorable scene from The Great Santini when father and son are playing basketball…
Q: How did the role of "Danny Noonan" in Caddyshack come your way? What do you remember about the audition process? You seemed like one of the only characters who could really swing a golf club, did that play any role in you getting the part?
Michael: I was definitely the only one who could hit a ball in that film, although Bill Murray, who didn't really play in the film, is a far better golfer than me. I got the audition, met with Doug Kenney and Harold Ramis a couple of times, and they gave me the gig. Amazing.
Caddyshack was released in late July of 1980 to mixed reviews and moderate success. But over the years it has gained an increased following and is now considered a cult classic. I consider it one of the funniest movies ever made and I am certainly not alone in that opinion. It was directed by Harold Ramis and co-written by Ramis along with Doug Kenney and Brian Doyle-Murray.
The film was shot over 11 weeks during the autumn of 1979 and starred Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray as well as Michael O'Keefe. O'Keefe plays caddy "Danny Noonan" who is trying to earn enough money so that he can go to college and ends up facing some women problems and rising to the pressure of a high stakes golf match. Here is the original trailer for Caddyshack…
Q: I read that most of the cast and crew stayed at the same motel during filming and there were some great parties there. Did the cast become close at all during filming?
Michael: We did spend a great deal of time off camera together and because we were in a small town we mainly partied with each other.
Q: You had some great scenes with Chevy Chase. What can you tell us about Chevy and your experience working with him in that film?
Michael: I was a huge 'SNL' fan and had seen Chevy in Lemmings, off Broadway in the Village, in which he played several parts in the Woodstock satire. It was cool to meet him and work with him.
Chevy Chase plays "Ty Webb" who is an eccentric free-spirited playboy who inherited his wealth from his father who was one of the country club's co-founders. O'Keefe and Chase have several scenes together including this one where "Ty" imparts a little of his wisdom to young "Danny"…
Q: You also had some great scenes with the late Ted Knight. What can you tell us about Knight and your experience working with him?
Michael: Ted was delightful. I had been a huge Mary Tyler Moore fan and was chuffed to work with Ted.
Ted Knight is perfect as "Judge Smails". He has so many classic quotable lines in the film. Knight and O'Keefe also have several scenes together including this one which takes place after "Danny" was caught with the Judge's niece…
Q: I read a story that you made the cast and crew present on the closed set for your love-making scene with "Lacey" remove their shirts to help make Cindy Morgan feel more comfortable. Can you confirm that story?
Michael: That's true. She obviously looked a lot better topless than most of the crew, except maybe our boom operator who was a pretty hot girl.
Q: There was animosity between your characters, but was there any real animosity or tension between you and Scott Colomby (who played "D'Annunzio") during filming?
Michael: No way. Love him! We had worked together before on a TV show called 'Sons and Daughters' [in 1974].
Q: I read somewhere that Bill Murray was only there 6 days to film his hilarious scenes. What do you think of his "Carl" character that he created in that short period of time?
Michael: Ten days, I think, was more like it. Bill made the film with his improvs as Carl. Unique and hilarious to this day.
Q: What can you tell us about Harold Ramis and your experience working with and being directed by him?
Michael: Harold was affable, charming, and the perfect guy to wrangle Chevy, Bill, Ted, and Rodney, which was like herding cats.
Q: What are some of your best memories from making Caddyshack?
Michael: Anybody who tells you they remember the filming of Caddyshack wasn't there (as David Crosby once said of the '60s).
Q: Could you have ever imagined that Caddyshack would become the cult favorite it has?
Michael: Nobody thought that and none of the critics liked it. So, when it finally took off we were all amazed.
Q: What are your feelings about the Caddyshack now over 30 years later?
Michael: Caddyshack is a big part of my career and I was grateful for the shot.
Q: Did you or do you keep in touch with any of the cast or crew members from the film?
Michael: I used to see Brian Doyle-Murray frequently. He's a sweet guy.
Q: As far as you know, were you ever asked or considered to be in the Caddyshack sequel?
Michael: Nope.
Q: How often do people come up to you and quote lines from Caddyshack? Do friends still yell "Noonan" at you while you are trying to sink a putt?
Michael: Too often. And yes, the "Noonan" jinx is still pulled on me.
Q: You've worked twice with Jack Nicholson and in 1987's Ironweed you even played his son. What can you tell us about Nicholson and your experiences working with him?
Michael: One of my acting heroes. Still can't believe I got to work with him twice. Quite a gift.
Ironweed was released in late 1987 and starred the incomparable Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson who both received Oscar nominations for their parts. O'Keefe plays "Billy Phelan" who is the son of Nicholson's character. O'Keefe would later work with Nicholson again in 2001's The Pledge which was directed by Sean Penn.
Q: Many also remember you from your time on Roseanne in the mid-90s. What are your memories of your time on that show? What can you tell us about working with that very talented cast?
Michael: Laurie [Metcalf] is a genius and a great stage actor. John Goodman had always been a friend and it was a thrill to work with him. And Roseanne… wow.
O'Keefe played "Fred" the husband to Laurie Metcalf's character "Jackie" for 35 episodes during seasons 6-8 on the television sitcom Roseanne. Metcalf won three Emmy awards just during the time O'Keefe played her husband (so that's pretty impressive).
Q: What are your some of your proudest professional accomplishments?
Michael: Hmm. My answer is: I'm thrilled that I never ended up in rehab, needed rehab (See Charlie Sheen) or did something so embarrassing that it ended up in the tabloids.
Q: You have some films to be released this year. What can you tell us about those? Apartment 143? Junction? A Thousand Cuts?
Michael: One's spooky, the other is rough and tumble, and the third is a poignant story about the loss of a daughter. They're all different and, hopefully, worth seeing.
Q: You have become a practicing Zen Buddhist. When and how did you get into that and what about it connects with you so well? What is The Peacemaker Circle?
Michael: I loved reading about Zen as a teenager and just naturally fell into it in my thirties. It's a great practice for actors and writers because it's about being "present". The Peacemakers are the brainchild of teacher Bernie Glassman. We bring Zen out of the Zendo and into the world.
Q: What else has Michael O'Keefe been up to more recently?
Michael: Got married. Writing novels. Got married. Did I mention that? I got married.
I am very happy that Michael was able to take some time to answer my questions so I could share them with you here. You can keep up with him even more at his official MichaelOkeefe.com website. I want to take this opportunity to again thank Michael O'Keefe for his contributions to '80s pop culture especially for his role in Caddyshack and, even more, for taking a walk down memory lane with us here for a little while as well. Noonan!

Q: помощь в разборке Gson и создание обьекта У меня есть ответ с сервера в виде json. Так же имеется обработка.
Проблема в том что я не могу создать обьект data с данными  из строки полученной с помощью gson.
    public class Main{

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            String url = "https://ghibliapi.herokuapp.com/films";
            URL obj = new URL(url);

            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
            connection.setRequestMethod("GET");

            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
            String inputLine;

            StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
                response.append(inputLine);
//                response.append("\n");
            }

            in.close();

//            System.out.println(response.toString().replaceAll("^.|.$", ""));
            String resString = response.toString().replaceAll("^.|.$", "");
            Gson gson = new Gson();
            String gsonString = gson.toJson(resString);
            System.out.println(gsonString);
            Data data = gson.fromJson(resString, Data.class);

            System.out.println(data);
//
//            String name = (String) jsonObject.get("title");
//            System.out.println(name);
//            Ghibli ghibli = new Ghibli();
//            ghibli.startApp();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Ghibli.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

//     ghibli.getData("https://ghibliapi.herokuapp.com/films");
    }

}

Класс с данными у меня выглядит просто, поля и конструктор:
class Data {

private String id;
private String title;
@SerializedName("original_title")
private String mOriginal_title;
@SerializedName("original_title_romanised")
private String mOriginal_title_romanised;
private String description;
private String director;
private String producer;
@SerializedName("release_date")
private int mRelease_date;
@SerializedName("running_time")
private int mRunning_time;
@SerializedName("rt_score")
private int mRt_score;
private String[] people;
private String[] species;
private String[] locations;
private String[] vehicles;
private String[] url;

public Data(String id, String title, String mOriginal_title, String mOriginal_title_romanised, String description, String director, String producer, int mRelease_date, int mRunning_time, int mRt_score, String[] people, String[] species, String[] locations, String[] vehicles, String[] url) {
    this.id = id;
    this.title = title;
    this.mOriginal_title = mOriginal_title;
    this.mOriginal_title_romanised = mOriginal_title_romanised;
    this.description = description;
    this.director = director;
    this.producer = producer;
    this.mRelease_date = mRelease_date;
    this.mRunning_time = mRunning_time;
    this.mRt_score = mRt_score;
    this.people = people;
    this.species = species;
    this.locations = locations;
    this.vehicles = vehicles;
    this.url = url;
}
}

куда идет запрос ( это прямо по ссылке "https://ghibliapi.herokuapp.com/films" ):

какой ответ приходит:

A: Проблема была в неправильном представлении мною данных. Так как с сервера приходит не одна конкретная data а множество, то надо исправить мой парсер на
List<Data> datas = gson.fromJson(response.toString(), new TypeToken<ArrayList<Data>>(){}.getType());.
Что позволяет создавать множество data, а не одну.

 Село доволі непогано розвинуте, в ньому є громадський транспорт - зупинка маршрутного таксі з стінами та лавочкою, магазин, що знаходиться в центрі села - ("Катюша"), школа - ЗОШ 1-3 ступенів, відділення Укрпошти, дороги непоганої якості та декілька підприємств, а саме - "Кооператив «Ім. Щорса", "Кооператив «Королівський»" та ТОВ «Вербена». Але в селі є й одна велика проблема - це підключення до інтернету: в селі стабільний лише мобільний зв'язок, інтернету або взагалі немає, або є лише 2G, і те, не у всіх місцях, але в оператора Lifecell іноді з'являється і 4G, але теж лише в деяких місцях. На початку основної вулиці села стоїть табличка про небезпечність та серйозність війни та арт-об'єкт "I Love Korolivka".

Ingenious: Extreme (اللعبة الأساسية)
Publisher: Thames & Kosmos
Tag: Abstract Games Family Games , Single Player Games ,
In Ingenious, a.k.a. Einfach Genial, players take turns placing colored domino-style tiles on a game board, scoring for each line of colored symbols that they enlarge. The trick, however, is that a player's score is equal to their worst-scoring color, not their best, so they need to score for all colors instead of specializing in only one or two. Ingenious Extreme features the same gameplay as Ingenious, but with the domino-style tiles consisting of two conjoined octagons instead of two conjoined hexes. Since the pieces in Ingenious had six colors on them, 'Ingenious Extreme features eight colors, giving players more to juggle as they try to score well across the board while shutting out opponents. In more detail, each player has a rack with six tiles on it, and on a turn a player places one tile from their rack onto two empty octagon spaces of the game board. For each octagon on this tile, they score one point in that color for each octagon of the same color that lies adjacent to it and each octagon in a straight line from it. (In all you must check for scoring in seven directions from each half of the tile; you never look back from one half of the tile through the other half.) If a player brings the score of a color to 18, they immediately take another turn. At the end of their turn, they refill their rack to six tiles. (Before refilling their rack, if they have no tiles on it that contain hexes in their lowest-scoring color, they can discard all of their tiles, then draw six new tiles from the bag.) When no more tiles can be placed on the game board or when one player scores 18 in each color, the game ends. Players then compare their lowest scores, and whoever has the highest low score wins.

We view self-harm as a solution.
We want to find out the problem--and offer different solutions.
Cutting, scratching, burning, hitting, and pinching are some of the ways people hurt themselves. Though self-harm can be the reason for coming to therapy, it is more often that it is considered a symptom--not the problem itself. But make no mistake, self-harm is a VERY big deal. There is a 37-50 times greater risk that a person who self-harmed will attempt suicide within the next year. Regardless of whether the it was "superficial" or severe, self-harm should never be ignored, dismissed, or minimized.
The reason for the rise in self-harm (particularly in teenage girls) over the last several years is unclear. A study in the UK found that self harm among girls aged 13 to 16 rose by 68% in a three year span. It has been suggested that the increase in self-harm can be attributed to a corresponding growth in social media and internet use, rising school stressors, busy schedules, and a growing number of websites which glorify self-harm. Regardless of the global contributors, each individual has their own personal reasons for choosing self-harm as a way to cope.
Similar to addiction, the more someone self-harms, the more difficult it is to stop. That's why it is so important for caregivers of minors to make it clear that self-harm is not permitted. Drinking, drug use, and self-harm may be "self-medicating," but they do not have to be accepted without consequence. Caregivers have the power to control the environment to minimize temptation by removing harmful items, performing "body checks," and even monitoring a kid 24-7, creating a sort of "in-home residential" program. Remember, self-harm is a big deal, and preventing this dangerous habit from forming is the best way to protect kids from a lifetime of struggle.
For adults, if stopping self-harm is the goal, the solution is to find the actual problem and replace the old solution (self-harm) with new solutions (skills). Those who self-harm do so for a variety of reasons and it is impossible to know "why" someone self-harmed just by speculating. Sometimes there is one reason, sometimes there are multiple. Frequently, a person may think it is one reason, only to find that once they were asked the right questions, they discovered other things that contribute. To conclude that someone self-harmed "just for attention" is short-sighted. Working with a therapist who asks specific and matter-of-fact questions to help tease apart the different pieces of the puzzle is essential. But the bottom line is, for adults, being willing to take self-harm "off the table" as a coping response is key.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a well known and highly effective treatment for self-harm.

'We first said "I love you" after one of my bridesmaid's wedding in 2014, on the lakefront in Mandeville at The Barley Oak (restaurant/bar). Todd had decided he was going to propose at the same spot on April Fool's Day! NO JOKE! Rewind a bit, to when he sold one of his beloved cars to buy a diamond in November/December of last year. He held on to the ring and this secret for nearly 4 months, just waiting for the right moment.
Biggest thanks to my second shooter Lisa Cooke!

Q: Access the data of AVPlayer when playing video from HTTP Live Streaming I am playing a HTTP Live Streaming video with an AVPlayer.
Is there any way to access the cached data by the player to save it locally?

A: TLDR; That is not impossible but the results would most likely not be that great.
Keep in mind that a HTTP Video Stream actually consists of multiple bandwidth streams. Each of those is divided into smaller MPEG transport stream chunks.
For playing those streams, AVPlayer usually selects one of the available bandwidth streams, starts preloading and soon also playing. Now AVPlayer starts raising the bar and starts downloading chunks from a higher bandwidth stream. The AVPlayer will raise the bar again until it arrived at the highest available bandwidth. This process will be inverted once the AVPlayer identifies problems with keeping a certain playable length preloaded in its queue. So in case the network throughput is reduced, a lower bandwidth stream is selected. The exact implementation details are not specified but that is roughly how this works.
Now imagine you would locally store/cache that data. You would get a mix of various bandwidth TS chunks - not anything you could playback out of the box.  Also you would put additional load on this process as filesystem access is rather expensive on mobile devices these days.
Overall, I think it is not entirely impossible but would not be trivial at all. I have read about people experimenting with filesystem piping on this issue but they never got it to work.


Preen Food Bank is making an urgent appeal for donations as it struggles to cope with growing demand for its food parcels.
The Food Bank, which runs from the Preen Reuse Centre, in Sun Street, Biggleswade, provides packs which include basic food supplies like cereals, pastas, soups, tinned fruit and vegetables and biscuits, for anyone who needs emergency help.
In particular it helps working families whose children receive free school lunches and find it hard financially in the holidays.
It is financially supported by Preen Community Interest Group and all food and toiletries are used in Bedfordshire to help people who are in financial crisis.
Preen Food Bank receives monetary donations and food items from the public, local organisations and businesses, but with more and more people needing help it is struggling to meet the demand.
She said she would have had to have shut the foodbank for the day on Saturday without the Lions' generosity, adding: "Despite the donations and our £500 shop, we recently ran out of meat and bread, essentials that help make up meaningful meals. I just can't keep up with the steady stream of people.
the corner it is really important that we are able to continue making them.
"We have enough pasta, soup and beans, the supplies we really need are toiletries, in particular deodorants and nappies.
"We need meat, fish, tinned or frozen, mayonnaise and other sauces, we also need squash, juice, bread and milk.
"We help people as much as we can, and the donations we receive go towards making these food parcels for people.
Food can be donated at Preen Reuse Centre during its opening hours, Tuesday to Saturday 9.30am till 4.30pm.


Yo! Been far too long since I've procured anything TT worthy. I just couldn't resist these offerings and found the pair to be quite a match. In my experience with some of these JDM rods with a wide spectrum, they tend to suit the low/mid range of their rating best for my fishing preferences. Of the half dozen EG rods I've owned (2 Kaleidos), the other half dozen JDM rods, and the handful of custom loomis/NFC builds, this is the ONE. The Evergreen Super Stallion GT2 RS balances perfectly for a tip up presentation, and feels extremely light in hand while commanding perfect control over bottom contact baits - I'm sure it would shine under just about any circumstance but it really pairs well to my fishing style.
Received this rod about 2 weeks ago and have been blessed with warm weather and a glimpse of pre-spawn (This rod has seen solid action and BIG fish over the past 14 days). Action/power/performance are perfectly aligned with what I'd expect from EG's top offering. ***This is a replacement for my old Metanium MG7 with full AVAIL tune. So far so good!
Super ballz! Nice specimens and great come up for sure!
Amazing combo, nice fish too, congratulations I'm always interested in new Evergreen Super Stallion models. If the newest incarnate is as good as the original, it's a winner. That Z-Pride is a work of art too. I have a lot of respect for the engineering that goes into ZPI products!!
Thanks guys!! Always fun seeing the new gear in this forum so glad to be able to finally share something.

Andrew Shebanow didn't imagine that asking for feedback about how Palm's app store should work would open up a flood of input. He also didn't expect the move would change his job description. But now both have happened.
On Jan. 8, Shebanow, who is working on a third-party application distribution system for Palm's new webOS operating system, posted an item on his blog looking for input from developers on how that system should work. He threw out a few questions, such as: how should application updating and installation work; should Palm offer payment processing or leave it to third parties; should application trials be available; and how should Palm handle featured applications?
By Wednesday, he had removed the post, replacing it with one saying that its popularity had caught him and Palm by surprise. "My boss has asked me to hide the post while management decides what they want me to do about it," he wrote.
Now, Shebanow has posted another note saying that the discussion about how the app store should work will be allowed to continue, but at Palm's new developer blog. In addition, Shebanow has been volunteered to work on developer outreach.
The incident and the reactions of developers along the way are a sign of just how far the mobile software industry has come but also an indication that developers hope it will continue to evolve.
The Palm Pre, the first phone to run the company's new webOS operating system.
Initial reaction to the first blog post was excitement that Palm would be asking for input. One person wrote: "I wish Apple allowed posts like these." Apple has sometimes been criticized by iPhone developers who complain that Apple doesn't communicate well with them.
That was followed by dismay when the post was pulled. "The post might have been slightly troublesome or concerning to your bosses in some ways—fine! Strike out some of the sentences, revise it (in a transparent manner if you need to) but don't pull it when it was just getting Palm accolades by doing things in a more open way!" one person wrote.
The legitimate suggestions about how the app store should work are telling too. Many of the suggestions to the first blog post, still available through Google's cache, recommend that the Palm app store feature improvements on the way Apple's iPhone App Store works. Apple's system was revolutionary in the mobile industry, opening up development to essentially anyone and letting iPhone users buy and download applications directly to their phones.
But, as some people commenting on Shebanow's blog point out, the iPhone process has some downsides. One is that developers have to pay $100 to join the developers' program; people on the blog suggested that Palm's program be free.
Another request was for the Palm store to allow trial downloads so that users can be sure they want an application before paying for it. The iPhone App Store doesn't have a mechanism for allowing trials.
One person suggested that Palm rank applications by quality as a way to make it easier for users to find good applications. That could solve a new problem with the iPhone store where it's grown difficult to find great applications since there are now more than 10,000 available.
Palm introduced its new operating system, webOS, and the first phone to run it, the Pre, at the Consumer Electronics Show last week. The phone is expected to become available some time in the first half of the year and Palm has revealed only minor details about its planned application store.


The coup-backed neo-liberal government of Honduras, pushing tourism and expatriate resort developments, continues to repress and evict Garífuna communities along the Caribbean Coast. The Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras (OFRANEH) reports, with multiple personal statement videos.
Guy Zimmerman, in reviewing the new Wall Street film The Big Short, muses on the desperate conformity required in today's entertainment in this new Gilded Age of oligarchy and disempowerment that has overtaken culture in the U.S.
Dana Frank writes on why the U.S. must stop funneling money to Honduras for repressive militarization and "free trade" projects that sacrifice labor and environmental standards in favor of multinational corporate hegemony. He must start treating its president like the corrupt ruler he really is.
The model planners and economists touted as "sustainable development" has only exacerbated ecologic distress and community dislocation through its focus on wealth-creation. The needs of our ailing planet facing an impending 11 billion population calls for ecology and human welfare to dominate economy, but how to achieve this in a world bought and paid for by finance capitalism?
The disappearance of 43 rural students in a city surrounded by mass graves, in a region controlled by an unholy alliance of drug traffickers and corrupt public officials and police, in a country ruled by neoliberal multinational interests backed by an iron hand has awakened Mexican despair and rage.
The government of Honduras plans the creation of neoliberal free-market enclaves, unaccountable to national laws and governed by foreign corporate interests. Stipulated for territory inhabited by Garifuna people and campesino farming communities, with propaganda about democracy, economic innovation and humanitarian justice, "President" Pepe Lobo should first refrain from presiding over the coup-backed "illegitimate regime."
The Zapatista community of San Marcos Avilés, composed of Tzeltal indigenous people, calls for international solidarity in their struggle for autonomy and natural resource protection from oppressive and violent forces of Mexico's entrenched neoliberal economy.
"In southern Mexico many multinationals have significant interests because there are so many natural resources. Developers want to use those lands for eco-tourism, they want to exploit the natural resources contained in the forests, etc. The pretext is always the 'war on drugs' or 'security', but there is more behind the justifications and Chiapas is just one example."

Catch Sierra Hull at SGHR Tomorrow
Friday, April 20, 2018, 12:30pm
Sierra Hull has been recognized from age 11 as a virtuoso mandolin-player, astonishing audiences and fellow-musicians alike. Now a seasoned touring musician nearing her mid-20s, Hull has delivered her most inspired, accomplished, and mature recorded work to date; no small feat. Catch her at The Southgate House Revival tomorrow night!
Her most recent release, Weighted Mind is a landmark achievement, not just in Sierra Hull's career, but in the world of folk-pop, bluegrass, and acoustic music overall. With instrumentation comprised largely of mandolin, bass, and vocals, this is genre-transcending music at its best, with production by Béla Fleck and special harmony vocal guests Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn, and Rhiannon Giddens adding to the luster. Hull speaks eloquently, in her challenging and sensitive originals, her heartfelt vocals, and once again breaks new ground on the mandolin. Béla Fleck special guests on banjo on two tracks and duo partner, Ethan Jodziewicz, not only anchors the record on bass, but introduces us to a major new instrumental voice.
We were delighted to chat with Sierra Hull before the show tomorrow night!
Tell us about the new album, Weighted Mind.
Weighted Mind is an album that allowed me to show a different side of myself. Musically, it's very stripped down and exposed. All of the songs but one are original and reflect a more vulnerable side of my writing than my prior two albums had.
How was it to work with BélaFleck on the album?
Working with Béla was such a highlight of my musical life thus far. He's so brilliant and has been a hero of mine since I was a kid. It was pretty special!
To have vocal guests Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn, and Rhiannon Giddens is very impressive! How did that come about?
Well… I'm such fans of each of these ladies! Alison has been one of my biggest influences and a longtime friend and mentor. Abigail was an obvious choice because not only do I love her singing, she's married to Béla and was there for so much of our recording process. It was a nice surprise to be able to invite Rhiannon to be on the record. She happened to be visiting Béla and Abby one day while we were working on the project, so we asked her to be a part!
Tell us about your songwriting process.
Some people have a very specific writing process, but I wouldn't say that I do. There are people who tend to start with either lyrics or melody first, but I am drawn to both ways of writing. Lately I have found myself creating lyrics first - more like poetry and then finding a lyrical rhythm within it. The part of me that really identifies as an instrumentalist loves to try and create new melodies, but I'm also really focused right now on what it is that I want to say and what feels honest.
What can one expect at a live show?
I have Ethan Jodziewicz (bass) and Christian Sedelmyer (fiddle) out with me for this tour. They are both very expressive musicians that are easy to connect with in a live performance. We'll be playing a lot of music from Weighted Mind along with some covers and new originals.
What is next for Sierra Hull?
I'm writing like crazy right now and planning my next album. I'm also still touring a lot this year, but also trying to be intentional about giving myself some much-needed creative time.
Sierra Hull

The Routledge Handbook of Neuroethics offers the reader an informed view of how the brain sciences are being used to approach, understand, and reinvigorate traditional philosophical questions, as well as how those questions, with the grounding influence of neuroscience, are being revisited beyond clinical and research domains. It also examines how contemporary neuroscience research might ultimately impact our understanding of relationships, flourishing, and human nature. Written by 61 key scholars and fresh voices, the Handbook's easy-to-follow chapters appear here for the first time in print and represent the wide range of viewpoints in neuroethics. The volume spotlights new technologies and historical articulations of key problems, issues, and concepts and includes cross-referencing between chapters to highlight the complex interactions of concepts and ideas within neuroethics. These features enhance the Handbook's utility by providing readers with a contextual map for different approaches to issues and a guide to further avenues of interest.

Roblox VR Could Be Heading To Quest In 2023
The popular kid-friendly MMO would no doubt be a hit on standalone headsets.
According to The Verge, Roblox, one of the biggest online video game platforms in the world, could be heading to VR on Meta Quest headsets sometime later this year. The news was mentioned earlier this week in the website's official Command Line newsletter and comes from unnamed "sources."
If true, this could prove to be a major win for Meta. In 2021, the Roblox game company went public with an overall evaluation of $41 billion USD. In the third quarter of 2022, the game had over 58.8 million daily active users and currently shows no sign of slowing down. Adding support for such a popular game could be just what Meta needs, especially with the "Quest 3" supposedly launching sometime later this year, according to a Q3 2022 earnings call.
In May of 2021, Roblox CEO and co-founder Dave Baszucki expressed interest in bringing the platform to Quest during a company earnings call, saying, "We have the same vision for the immersive 3D multiplayer cloud stuff of the metaverse in that we believe this should be accessible on all devices, both from viewing as well as interaction."
"And we've really innovated around this on phone tablet, computer, and Xbox console, showing that developers can create content that when pushed to our cloud, runs on all of these devices as well as auto translates into multiple languages. So absolutely long term, Switch, PlayStation, Quest, all of these platforms make perfect sense for Roblox."
It's worth noting that Roblox is technically already available to play in VR using PC VR headsets such as HTC VIVE and Valve Index. We've spent hours exploring various VR-compatible worlds on the kid-friendly platform, from Project SCP and Sked's Playground to VR Hands and Ragdoll Sim.
That said, the most interesting feature, in my opinion, is the ability to interact with 2D players as a VR avatar. The asymmetrical gameplay featured in games like VR Hands borders on the incredible. Here's hoping the rumored VR version features support for cross-platform play if/when it releases later this year.

My girlfriend is having a relapse. She has paranoid schizophrenia. Being gay, our asian parents do not recognize the fact that we are together. It's really tough especially when they think that I am the cause of her stress.
She is constantly looking for me and I am constantly being refrained from seeing her. Now I feel like I am the one breaking down.
Her family is in denial of her illness and doesn't understand that she needs someone to listen to her.
I know she needs me but our communication keeps getting cut off. I feel so helpless.
I thicken my skin to be able to see her, despite hurtful remarks from her mother. She is my world.
We have been through this once before and we came out stronger but this time round, I'm not so sure.


Tilney Investment Management, managers of the underlying assets of the FPIL Glanmore Property Fund, have informed us that, because of continuing liquidity issues prevalent within the property funds industry, they have decided to take further action to seek to protect the interests of shareholders.
"The UK commercial property market remains in paralysis, due mainly to the continuing lack of liquidity in debt markets. This makes it extremely difficult to dispose of properties at anything other than "forced sale value" which the Board judge not to be in the best interests of shareholders. As a result, liquidity within the Fund and, in particular, liquidity to be able to meet redemption requests, continues to be an issue. As a result of the above the Board have determined that the best course of action for the Fund would be a continuation of the postponement of redemptions from 30th December 2008 for a further 6 month period."
As a result of the information above, the postponement of redemptions from the FPIL mirror fund will also be continued for a further 6 months from 30th December 2008.
Further details on the postponement of redemptions can be found in the client letter, which will be distributed to all policyholders invested in the funds, along with copies sent to their adviser.
We apologise if these arrangements cause any inconvenience, but in circumstances such as these we are bound by the decision of the fund managers.
If you have any questions or require further information on any of the above, please email our Investment Proposition department.

Использование управляемого языка в машинном переводе создает ряд проблем.

В автоматизированном переводе первым шагом к пониманию контролируемого языка является знание того, что это такое, и различие между естественным языком и контролируемым языком.

Основная проблема машинного перевода - лингвистическая. Язык неоднозначен, и система пытается моделировать язык лексически и грамматически. Для решения этой проблемы существует множество альтернатив: например, может быть использован глоссарий, связанный с тематикой текста.

Контролируемый язык с десятью правилами
Каждый язык имеет свои грамматические правила. По этой причине в каждом языке правила для контролируемых языков различны. Не существует таких правил, которые давали бы подходящие для всех языков результаты. Однако существуют правила, которые снижают уровень двусмысленности в большинстве текстов на многих языках. Согласно статье Уве Мюгге "Контролируемый язык, оптимизированный для унификации перевода" (2002), следует применять следующие десять правил:

1. Пишите предложения, которые короче 25 слов.

 Будьте кратки (используйте грамотно структурированные предложения)
 Избегайте двусмысленности и субординации
 Оцените информацию

2. Пишите предложения, которые выражают только одну идею.

 Простые предложения
 Старайтесь не использовать герундий, противопоставление и т. д.

3. Напишите одно и то же предложение, если хотите выразить одно и то же содержание.

 Не бойтесь повторять
 Избегайте синонимов

4. Пишите предложения, которые грамматически завершены.

 Предложения грамматически и орфографически правильные
 Не используйте многоточие

5. Пишите предложения, имеющие простую грамматическую структуру.

 Избегайте противопоставления, подчинения, относительных местоимений и т. д.

6. Пишите предложения в активной форме.

 Избегайте пассивного залога

7. Напишите предложения, которые повторяют существительное вместо местоимения.

 Избегайте местоимений like, their и т. д.

8. Напишите предложения, в которых артикли используются для идентификации существительных.

 Используйте то, это и т. д.

9. Пишите предложения, в которых используются слова из общего словаря.

 Не используйте технические термины

10. Пишите предложения, в которых используются только слова с правильным написанием.

 Избегайте ошибок

Преимущества использования контролируемого языка
Это позволяет создавать тексты, которые легче читать, понятнее и легче запоминать, а также с лучшим словарным запасом и стилем. Причины введения контролируемого языка включают в себя:

 Документы, которые более удобочитаемы и понятны, улучшают удобство использования продукта.
 Контролируемый язык гарантирует объективную и структурированную поддержку в типично субъективной и неструктурированной среде.
 Управляемые инструментами языковые среды позволяют автоматизировать многие задачи редактирования и обеспечивают объективные показатели качества процесса создания.
 Более строгий и контролируемый язык, более единообразный и стандартизированный результирующий исходный документ и более высокая частота совпадений в системе памяти переводов, а также стоимость перевода дешевле.
 Управляемый язык, предназначенный для машинного перевода, значительно улучшит качество генерируемых машиной предложений перевода, а также сократит время и затраты на редактирование человеческих переводчиков.

Контролируемый язык и перевод
Одной из самых больших проблем, стоящих перед организациями, которые хотят сократить затраты и время на перевод, является тот факт, что даже в средах, сочетающих системы управления контентом с технологией памяти переводов, процент непереведенных сегментов на новый документ остается довольно высоким. Хотя, безусловно, можно управлять контентом на уровне предложения/сегмента, в настоящее время лучшей практикой, по-видимому, является фрагментация на уровне темы. Это означает, что повторное использование происходит на довольно высоком уровне детализации.

My name is Claudia Cooper, and I am the founder and owner of Guglhupf Bakery. As a woman and a native of another country, I chose to open my business here in Durham 18 years ago because I found a community open, accepting, and inclusive – much like the one in which I was raised. While I have always run this business free from the rancor of religion and politics, I must now take a stand against HB2. The political course of North Carolina as a state over the last several years alarms me due to the divisive and discriminatory direction of some legislation.
For 18 years I have served this community with the best product I can muster and with the best staff I can provide by supporting every walk of life lead by every employee we entrust with our reputation on a day-to-day basis.
This is a small business.
Last Sunday I was presented with an emotionally-charged ultimatum in the heat of the moment. I was forced to make a decision that affects my entire business, and all the employees who make it possible. I chose to respect all of them by not bending to the desires of two employees demanding that I act without thought or in full-consideration of the ramifications of the actions they supported. They have chosen to act in a manner that can be seen as destructive to my business, and I feel that at this point I must speak publicly.
I abhor HB2 and all the ways it divides people. I would not vote for this law, and I will work to change the direction of the legislative bodies of NC so that the future is a more inclusive one for everyone. In January I became an American citizen so that I can vote.
I agree and echo the position of the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Durham Tourism Development Authority on behalf of my restaurant.
Guglhupf Bakery strongly opposes HB2, which opens the door to discrimination against LGBTQ individuals and denies them legal protection from prejudice based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
We believe the citizens of Durham overwhelmingly reject discrimination and support protecting the basic human rights of all people. Durham's success is built on acceptance and celebration of people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Durham has a long history of embracing diversity and inclusivity and will remain a welcoming, accepting, LGBTQ-friendly community.
We also have concerns about the economic impact on our local businesses and their employees because HB2 contains provisions that may impede the ability of local elected officials to establish policies related to living wage and other issues they deem important.
As we stand against this legislation, we want to ensure that everyone feels as welcomed as possible in our establishment. We would love to create an environment where we could all act like quality citizens and use the restroom respectfully. However, we have physical constraints on our public restrooms that do not allow us to make them open to everyone to use as they see fit.
Because of the capacity of our establishment, and to maintain compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, we must maintain separate, and gender specific, facilities by laws irrespective of HB2.
However, Guglhupf does have three single-occupancy employee restrooms that are unisex. Please know that any customer who asks for access to one of those will be taken to one respectfully, privately, and with full consideration of their needs. We cannot make them public bathrooms, but we will make them accessible to anyone in need.
We Are Not This. Not now, not ever.
This law upsets everything about the way I live my life, and I want everyone to know that you are welcome in this establishment. You have my word that regardless of your support or dislike of HB2, we care for all employees and customers equally and we thank you for your patronage over the last 18 years and hope to welcome you all for decades to come.
Guglhupf will create a new vegan entree for our dinner menu in April, as part of the 2016 Bull City Vegan Challenge. Fifteen local restaurants are competing this year, and customers will vote on the winning dish. The Vegan Challenge entree will be on our menu from April 1st-30th, and votes will be tallied at the end of the month. Winners will be announced in early May.


According to Krebs on Security, the July 2016 report from the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA) indicates that cybercrime makes up a great percentage of the crime statistics than "traditional" non-computer related crimes. And that's only the ones that get reported. Victims are less likely than those of many other types of crime to file formal reports; in many cases, they don't even know they've been victimized.

Nerves surround each student as they leave the comfort of their parents cars, lugging mountains of memories and necessities into the small empty dorm rooms of Read Hall. For some students, this is not only their first year on campus, but their first time away from home and for IU student Meredith Hardy, she is no different.
"It was a big step," Meredith said as she looks back at her first day on campus now, almost three years later.
The Indiana University campus is Meredith's home for the next four years. She looks out the single window with tears in her eyes as her parents leave to make the trip back to her hometown, but this time without Meredith. She has to decide if she will let the homesickness consume her or if she will allow herself to jump into the diversity around her. Almost 15 minutes later, she builds up the courage to find the people that will make the rather large campus feel like home.
Meredith went on to say, "some people are definitely more ready for [college] than other people. Some people handle it alot better than other people really."
Study Time Giggles
(From Left to Right) Students Abby Chovan, Alex Hardgrave and Caroline Horvath gather in Abby's dorm room to quickly finish their feature stories for their writing class but end up off topic. The girls became extremely close over the course of the week at the HSJI Journalism Camp on the IU campus. "I wasn't expecting to be so close to any of these girls," said Abby.
Finding a home away from home can be more difficult for some because not everyone is as extroverted or as outgoing as some of their peers. Meredith, however, felt more prepared than other students. She has always been independent and her personality pushes her out in the limelight.
"I like having people, people give me energy and make me feel good about myself."
However, students like Skylar, Meredith's roommate, tend to be more closed off. She and Meredith came from the same high school in Columbus, Indiana, but Skylar has always been very quiet. Although unlikely, their personalities matched and they became very good friends, taking care of each other like how two sisters would.
Meredith has tried to make her roomie feel more at home but it is a two way struggle. Skylar has to reach out there as much as Meredith is pushing her.
What makes a home is the people that surround you. "A home is only a home if your people are there" so Meredith's biggest advice that freshmen could learn is to avoid isolating themselves.
It's tough because "people aren't going to come to you. The people that want to make friends are getting involved in things to make friends" but all it takes is a little bit of being uncomfortable in order to thrive on campus.
For at least four years of someone's life, college will be the place where lifelong friends are made. The best advice for any homesick person is to incorporate yourself with people who are as passionate about things as you are. Join the biggest clubs possible, then narrow it down because the more people to meet, the better.
Whether near or far, home is whatever each person makes it as. Just find the people that will make college an experience and the rest will be history.


Alfred Marchand, 44,a highly decorated officer who received a number of commendations before retiring in March, became a flight attendant with United Airlines this year. Friends said he loved travel, flying and meeting people.
Fellow church members remembered him as a devout Christian who would pick up children on Wednesdays, when he was not working, and drive them to church. They recalled a man who would drive donations to an orphanage in Ciudad Juárez every three months. A neighbor, Jason Hayes, said that Alfred Marchand once worked Hayes' shift at a local restaurant when Hayes' wife went into labor with their daughter.
Pastor Brian Hurst said Marchand once told a man who had been arrested that the man needed to bring Jesus Christ into his life.
"He was a man of faith — he took it to work," Hayes said. "He was the most down-to-earth, nonjudgmental person I've ever known. He'd talk to you like a human being."

Q: Delay between requests in flatMap I have several requests that must be called one by one:
this.firstRequest()
.flatMap(resp => {
   //check response
   if(!response.success) {
      return Observable.throw('some message');
   }

   return this.secondRequest();
})
.subscribe(...)

firstRequest() {
 // build params and call http service
 return this.service.getData(...)
   .do(r => {
      if(r.success) {
         this.localStorage.save('code', r.code)
      }
    })
 .delay(5000);
}

As you can see there is delay between first and second request. But, I need delay only when success field is true. How can I do it?

A: Here's some code that should help:

  ngAfterViewInit() {
      this.request1()
      .flatMap((response:any)=>{
        console.log(response);
        if(!response.success){
          return this.request2().delay(10000);
        }
        return this.request2();
      })
      .subscribe((response:any)=>{
        console.log(response.value);
      });
  }

  request1():Observable<any>{
    return Observable.create(observer=>{
      for(let i=0; i<2; i++){
        let success =i%2==0? true:false;
        observer.next({value:"request1:"+i,success:success});
      }
    });
  }

  request2():Observable<any>{
    return Observable.create(observer=>{
      for(let i=0; i<2; i++){
        observer.next({value:"request2:"+i});
      }
    });
  }
}

And the result of it:

A: Method 1:
If you only want to do it solely in your firstRequest() method, then what you can do is return different observables via .of() inside a .flatMap():
firstRequest() {
    // build params and call http service
    return this.service.getData(...)
        .flatMap(r=>{
            if(r.success) {
                this.localStorage.save('code', r.code);
                //delay for 500ms, then return the same response back
                return Observable
                    .delay(500)
                    .of(r);
            }
            //not successful, dont delay. return the original Observable
            return Observable.of(r);
        })
}

Method 2:
If you want to do it outside the method, then you can do this:
this.firstRequest()
    .flatMap(resp => {
        //check response
        if(!response.success) {
            return Observable.throw('some message');
        }
        return Observable
            .delay(500)
            .flatMap(()=>this.secondRequest())
    })
    .subscribe(...)

Either methods are okay, but you can't use both.

Former millionaire bounces back after six-year legal battle
Posted on January 19, 2018 by Jonathan Symcox
Elfed Thomas was acquitted on fraud charges relating to a Ponzi-style scheme. He is now launching his next tech venture
BC WalesBC north-westbc infrastructure
Jonathan Symcox	 8:30am 19th Jan 2018
Former CEO of H20 Networks Thomas
An entrepreneur who was acquitted on fraud charges following an investigation into a Ponzi-style scheme is launching a new venture aimed at disrupting the fibre broadband market.
Former millionaire Elfed Thomas, 57, is the former CEO of H20 Networks, which was responsible for delivering the UK's first fibre-to-home networks in Bournemouth and Dundee a decade ago.
However in 2010 – the same year Thomas was crowned E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the North and Midlands Region – H2O and its backer Total Asset Finance were rocked by a £160 million fake contracts scam which resulted in a six-year investigation by the Serious Fraud Office.
In February 2017 four men were sentenced to 44 years in prison following a five-month trial while Thomas and another fellow defendant were acquitted by a jury.
"It was unreal. I'm still trying to get to grips with it now," Thomas told BusinessCloud. "One minute we were a global company with a footprint all over the world – we'd just appointed an advisor to raise £200m in the City – then, out of the blue, it all came out."
Thomas, who was unable to trade for the duration of the case, had to sell the company he founded in 2003 for just £1 to CityFibre as he began the long fight to clear his name.
"It was a very traumatic situation for myself and my family. I lost the company within two to three months and they tried to accuse me of being part of it, which obviously I wasn't," he continued.
"The judge complimented me on the way I set the business up, which they don't do lightly. It was quite bizarre really.
"It wiped me out financially and I didn't do anything wrong."
Thomas' new venture is British Fibre Networks, which will have bases in Llandudno, Wales, and Manchester. It aims to deliver "open access" pure fibre broadband to more than 35 per cent of new-build homes by 2021, benefiting both homeowners – who will have instant connectivity upon moving in and a choice of providers – and house builders.
"In the builders' market it takes time to set up a broadband connection and it's a monopolised situation," he said. "We've got a leading price comparison site as a partner who will then engage with the consumer and decide which broadband supplier they want.
"We are completely neutral… this has never been done before."
He has private equity backing for the venture.
"This is not an emotional return… investors are attracted to the commercial model because it's got legs. It can get good returns and we can get market share quite quickly," he said.
"In three years we want to be hitting 30,000-35,000 homes a year."

Dispel the myths of flying with knowledge.
Flying and safety is most definitely NOT in the hands of chance or the Gods, and it's not magic either!.
We have suggested an action plan and strategy on this site.
Flying is safe because of the laws of physics and gravity.
Remember, flying is much safer than you think.
Remember that the fear of flying is a learned fear and therefore it can be unlearned.
'What if ' thoughts must be controlled.
Be content with small steps.
Planes don't plummet … they descend.
The pilots know what they're doing.
You don't need to hang on to the armrests … the wings always work.
Aircraft make a lot of noise while taking off.
Turbulence is uncomfortable but that's not the same as dangerous.
Let the airline know that you are an anxious flyer when you buy your ticket.
Eat lightly; salads and watery fruit are ideal.
Get good quality sleep before your flight.
Put your seatbelt on as tightly as you can bear it.
There are no such things as air pockets.
An aircraft will not fall out of the sky if the engines stop.
An airliner can glide for over 120miles from cruising height.
'Stalling' has nothing to do with the engines.
There are no 'dangerous' airports to land at.
Turbulence is not dangerous. But it can be very uncomfortable.
Aircraft do not fly through thunderstorms.
Aircraft on commercial flights do not turn lower than 500 feet above the ground.
Clear air turbulence is no worse than any other turbulence.
In reality it's unlikely that you have experienced severe turbulence.
Being struck by lightning in an aircraft will not hurt you or the 'plane.
What's abnormal, unusual or unexpected to you…is normal to the pilots and crew.
Remember aircraft are more efficient than birds…birds don't carry passengers.
An aircraft would glide 'if ' the engines stopped.
The engines are not straining on take off.
Aircraft always make a lot of noises while taking off.
Aircraft don't mind being in cloud, even dark cloud.
Planes do not defy the laws of gravity.
On this site you will find help and support.
Thousands of others like you have succeeded.
Sleep well before a flight.
Work on probability not possibility.
Familiarise yourself with the noises of flying.
Get reassuring help .. .
Be a tiger not a lamb.
Avoid things you see in the the-media.
Choose an airline you have confidence in.
Don't do 'all or nothing thinking'.
Just because it has happened previously, doesn't mean it will happen to you.
Planes don't fall thousands of feet, despite what you've heard.
The pilots are ordinary people.
Find a catchphrase to help you.
Have confidence in your confidence.
Have confidence in your strategy.
Take a short flight first.
Visit the airport before the day of your flight.
Ask yourself why. Ask yourself how, and you will remember all you know.
What is the evidence for your thoughts?
Where has your wishful thinking got you so far?
What's wrong with being realistic rather than pessimistic?
Everything is progress except giving up.
If things go wrong, you don't have to start again.
Don't try to read the crews' faces.
The quickest way is through, not around.
No-one cares if you make a fool of yourself in flight.
Anxiety is not the same as panic.
Fear is not the same as panic.
Take some anxiety along with you.
There is no such reality as " Knowing my luck".
If you're climbing a mountain take a mountaineer with you, not a life coach.
Have reasons to trust your own judgement.
Avoidance is not a fix.
There are a few people with a fear worse than yours.
If you get as far as getting on the plane, and then turn back. Practice the getting on bit…you've done all the rest.
Break the flight into chunks.
Set low standards and expectations first.
Set higher standards when you've reached the lower ones.
Don't take your eye of f the ball.
