Myrtle Beach Airport's Busiest Summer Ever Continues

This past July was the busiest ever for Myrtle Beach International Airport, Myrtle Beach Online reported.
More than 125,000 passengers arrived at the airport in July 2015, a notable increase over the same period in 2014 and up slightly from the previous record from July 2011. Citing airport statistics, Myrtle Beach Online reported the 125,416 figure was up nearly 10,000 passengers from July 2014.
What's more, the airport's historic July comes on the heels of record-breaking May and June passenger traffic.
"July passenger traffic was above last year by over 9 percent, and an amazing 33 percent over 2012," Horry County Airport Director Pat Apone told Myrtle Beach Online. "The passenger growth is being fueled by a strong airline industry and more importantly the popularity of the Myrtle Beach market."
As Apone alluded to, Las Vegas-based carrier Allegiant Air recently added new destinations from Myrtle Beach, including Akron-Canton, Ohio; Indianapolis; Orlando, Florida; Clarksburg, West Virginia and Pittsburgh.
The additions had a notable impact as Allegiant brought 25,268 passengers to Myrtle Beach this past July, up significantly from 16,208 in July 2014.
"Year to date and July passenger volumes over previous years are primarily attributed to Allegiant’s growth at MYR, followed by Spirit [Airlines]," said assistant director of airports Kirk Lovell via Myrtle Beach Online. "MYR’s fastest-growing and largest carriers realize the opportunity our market creates. The Myrtle Beach brand is strong and people love to vacation here."
"If travel continues as MYR experienced for the first seven months of the year, then 2015 should break all previous passenger records," Lovell concluded.

onwards and upwards with the countdown of the noughties;
80. Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Pink and Mya - Lady Marmalade - 2001
One of my favourite collaborations from the start of the decade, Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya teamed up with rappers Lil' Kim and Missy Elliot who produced, on a cover of LaBelle's Lady Marmalade for the soundtrack to the Moulin Rouge film. A far better version than the one that All Saints had churned out three years before, Christina's vocals were by far the highlight of the song for me, although I did also enjoy Lil' Kim's rap!!! A deserved UK #1 single in summer 2001, it obviously had great production because it still sounds quite fresh now!!!
79. Leona Lewis - Run - 2008
Back to Leona Lewis again, and her final entry here. Leona first performed her theatrical cover of Snow Patrol's Run in the Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2007. A year later in 2008 she performed it again on X Factor to launch the re-release of her debut album Spirit, which duly went straight back to #1. Two weeks later, the album was finally made availble on iTunes and the eagerly anticipated Run went straight to #1 based solely on download sales, whilst the song became Leona's third consecutive Christmas top 3 hit and her second bonafide decade definining moment!!! An absolutely breathtaking version of the Snow Patrol song, offering something completely different to the original. It's a trick she's tried again with Oasis' Stop Crying Your Heart Out on her new album, but surely nothing will top this? One of the best ballads of the last couple of years easily.
78. Delta Goodrem - Electric Storm - 2004
And so on to my favourite artist of the decade, with the first of a few entries in this countdown and the first non-single to appear. Australian star Delta starred as Nina Tucker in Neighbours and went onto a hugely successful music career. Electric Storm was taken from her second album, Mistaken Identity, a much darker affair than the first due to her having battled cancer in the 2 years between the first and second albums. Electric Storm was one of the standouts of a stunning album - a mature, dark yet powerful song about troubled relationships which always reminds me of Christmas Eve for some reason. Wouldn't have made a great single but it sure as hell made a brilliant album track.
77. Alphabeat - Fascination - 2008
Helping the 'cool pop' revival of 2008 was Danish six piece Alphabeat. Led by female singer Stine and one of many people called Anders in the band, Fascination quickly won over hearts in the UK, easily becoming one of 2008's defining hits even though it only reached #6. You know that it's had a huge cultural impact when Simon Cowell lets the X Factor Finalists cover it at the start of one of the live shows!!! A joyous, catchy pop song, fusing classic pop melodies with slight hints of indie, Alphabeat were truly one of the great bands of 2008 with Boyfriend and 10,000 Nights also being absolutely brilliant. Their new album, whilst very good, suggests that they may have lost the ability to relate to the public, but Fascination was most definitely the right song at the right time. Oh, and there is no more live concert defining moment than the callback 'The word is on your lips...say the word!'
76. Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten - 2004
Back when Natasha was just Daniel Bedingfield's prettier sister making a name for herself with the above average pop song Single, I didn't really think anything of her apart from that she was a chancer getting lucky thanks to her brother. Then I heard These Words. WOW. Then I bought the album. Goodbye Daniel! Unwritten was one of a ton of standouts on one of the quirkiest and freshest pop albums of the first half of the decade. A gorgeous, uplifting and positive mid-tempo strummer complete with a gospel choir that instantly became my album highlight and a college anthem. It did ok in the UK charts but it was nothing compared to how big the song became. Featuring in every advert under the sun as well as becoming the theme tune to US teen show The Hills, the song went top five in the US, launching Natasha as a huge star over there - a territory that her brother had already had his own success!!! Even the US knew of the great Bedingfield sibling rivalry!!! If You're Not The One aside though, none of Daniel's material ever touched what his sister came up with.

Question: I was just watching Human Target, and as someone who lives in San Francisco, I was wondering how often shows are actually shot on location and what are the factor conditions. I get a San Francisco vibe from Human Target, which I didn't get from Monk. Both Dexter and Burn Notice take place in Miami, but I usually get more of a Los Angeles vibe from Dexter. Many shows have episodes that take place at universities and I swear I am always looking at the UCLA campus.
As we approach the holidays, with the TV year winding down (if only briefly), it's typically the time to look back — and so it is with a flurry of awards nominations and best-of-year lists raining down.
My own top-10 (and then some) list of shows and networks that made 2010 memorable can be found here. I also had the honor once again to participate on the American Film Institute's TV jury to select a list of 10 top programs of the year. You can do your own comparison to see how these lists differ. The one show that took me by surprise on the AFI list is The Big C. Great performance by Laura Linney, iffy show. And if we must honor an NBC comedy, why not go with an on-the-rise upstart like Community instead of the tired...

"I'm confident Angie Harmon is in there for Rizzoli & Isles," she says. "I said it," co-announcer Rosario Dawson says, playing along. "Yeah, that's totally fine. It's fine," Harmon says. Crickets.

Bad cab luck reared its ugly head again on The Amazing Race finale — this time costing Jill Haney, 27, and Thomas Wolfard, 30, a chance at the $1 million. After being in second place for most of the leg, the couple fell to third when they got into a cab with a driver who didn't know English — or what the Internet was apparently. "He said he didn't know. How much worse luck can you possibly have?" Thomas tells TVGuide.com. "But the race kind of reflects life experiences, and sometimes you have good days and sometimes you have bad days. Sometimes you go in the wrong direction, you have communication barriers. Everything went wrong. It's kind of how it is." Though they've made their peace with their third-place finish now, the two say they're still upset they never had a chance to catch up to Nat and Kat thanks to the linear structure of the leg.
Home-shopping hosts Brook Roberts, 27, and Claire Champlin, 30, may have missed out on becoming The Amazing Race's first all-female champs — but don't think they're disappointed. "We're proud we helped make history. We're so happy for [Nat and Kat] because from Day One, we talked to them and said, 'We're going to be on that podium, so let's help each other out,'" Claire tells TVGuide.com. "To be standing next to them in second place was a huge accomplishment for us." So how close were they to first? Find out below — and if Claire has eaten watermelon since her face-smashing Roadblock.

Durango School District 9-R students scores on standardized tests stagnated in 2012 but remained above the state average in all areas.
On Wednesday, the Colorado Department of Education released the scores for the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program, or TCAP.
Durango public-school students exceeded the average state performance in the percentage of students proficient and advanced in all areas, varying from 3 to 12 points above the state average.
Christy Bloomquist, supervisor of federal programs and assessments, said overall, the districts performance was fairly flat. There were a few ups and downs, and we didnt have any significant gains, except for 10th-grade science. Its somewhat disappointing. We really thought that some grade levels, like elementary, would show increases. But we know in the future what we need to work for and where we need to focus our efforts.
Statewide, more than 100,000 public-school students are not on pace to achieve proficiency in math and writing in the next three years, or by the time they reach 10th grade.
Compared with 2011, Durango students not on track to reach state reading standards hit 70 percent, a 6 percent increase compared with 2011.
Scores from Ignacio and Bayfield school districts could not be obtained Wednesday.
Across the state, some of the lowest-performing schools posted some of the biggest gains in standardized tests this year, while many top-performing districts languished or lost ground.
According to a release by the district, its continued attempt to align itself with Colorado Academic Standards should help move the district forward from the plateau performance that Durango public-school students encountered the last three to five years.
The release said the districts reading scores show overall stability, with this years scores ranging from 71 percent to 79 percent proficient and advanced.
Fifth grade showed the largest decline at 6 percentage points below last years scores and seventh grade dropping 5 percentage points, said the release. All other grade levels fluctuated between gaining 2 percentage points and dropping 3 percentage points, while sixth-grade scores were flat.
District writing scores declined at all grade levels except eighth grade, which had an increase of 2 percent. All other grade levels dropped between 1 and 8 percentage points.
District math scores remained stable compared with last years scores. There were no significant increases or decreases at any grade level. All grade levels fluctuated between an increase of 3 percentage points and a drop of 4 percentage points.
The science test was given only to the fifth, eighth, and 10th grades. Durango students showed a 5 percent increase in 10th grade. But eighth-grade scores dropped 6 percent and fifth-grade scores dropped 3 percentage points.

Make the salsa: Mix the mango, jalapeno, onion, lime juice, cilantro and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl; fold in the olive oil. Prepare the fish: Mix the instant potatoes, lime zest, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in another dish. Season the flour with salt and black pepper in a third dish. Dredge each fish fillet in the seasoned flour, dip in the eggs, then coat completely with the potato mixture.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, place the fish curved-side down in the pan; cook until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Top with the salsa and more cilantro.

Honesty is a foundation of https://gloria-brides.com/reviews/asiabeautydate any prolonged relationship. It’s important that you can trust your partner. This is very important for love, friendship and for relationship. It’s pure to think betrayed if you find out your family and friend has been cheating on you. When your partner cheats on you, truthfully hurts. Cheating damages everyone involved including the cheater.
There are signs or symptoms that show whether your partner has been honest or perhaps not. The moment honesty can be an issue in a relationship this usually triggers insecurity and other bad feelings. People make up excuses and compose stories just to produce themselves feel better. You are entitled to to know the fact and staying honest is one of the best ways to do this.
Honesty within a relationship isn’t going to signify you should are situated to your spouse. Everyone has an appropriate to the fact. However , in actual fact what generally damages relationships. A lay only affects the tell a lie detector. Tell your partner the reality even if it has the painful. Remember that you intend to save your romantic relationship.
Honesty may also be illustrated through behaviors. Living a life of reliability is very important. Trustworthiness is always compensated. If your honesty is compensated, it implies that you value your romantic relationship. So your actions have got meaning and so are a representation showing how you worth your romantic relationship.
Sometimes actions have that means. In a cheating relationship an individual always know very well what the right actions are. Did you know know what habits give you which means. This is why integrity is important.
The most typical behavior relevant to honesty within a relationship is certainly disloyalty. Those people who are loyal are viewed as good fellas by their partners. However those who find themselves disloyal are bad guys.
Because of this , honesty in a relationship is critical. People who are situated to their partners usually get caught. If you be fraudulent with your partner then your relationship will probably end. Cheaters are usually trapped because they are laying. Therefore that they know what is certainly expected of those and they definitely respond dishonestly.
People often declare honesty is the best policy but rather if your partner is normally not genuine then there’s no point in being honest in a marriage. You can not just damage the relationship along with your partner but simultaneously hurt your self too. When you are disloyal then you are jeopardizing your a friendly relationship. And you cannot have a normal relationship with someone who is definitely not devoted. It is better to tell the truth than being disloyal. Hence honesty is one of the key elements that leads to human relationships lasting.
One more for credibility is that that makes others happy. If you are dishonest along with your partner consequently people may feel hurt and dishonest too. They are prone to stop relying you. Some may begin to think that you will be dishonest and disloyal plus they might quit interacting with you.
But once you are honest with the partner then simply he or she might appreciate it. They might also value you and they might feel deeper to you personally. Therefore credibility in a romance is important. A superb relationship starts with honesty. The honesty in a romance is also important because a happy and healthy relationship is dependent upon honesty.
Therefore, it is vital to maintain a level of honesty in a relationship if you would like it to last. Your spouse expects you to be honest and he or she could also are expecting you to be honest with them. So if you start lying down to all of them then you can be dishonoring your companion. This would damage the rely upon the relationship and it will business lead into a breakup.
Keeping honesty in a relationship? Well, honesty is one of the most important benefits that you should maintain in your relationship. Be honest with your partner. Tell the reality even when you will be being confrontational. Your partner deserves to know truthfully and the person would appreciate it when you tell it to him or her.
It is also important to preserve honesty in a relationship since it ensures that you love each other. Honesty means that you respect the other person and trust in the integrity of others. It is necessary to build a powerful relationship depending on honesty in order to survive in society. Modern culture always reduces signs of the dishonestly and you have to learn ways to survive in society likewise. There are occasions that credibility is paid but it ought to be at the cost of losing somebody you love.

Earlier today at Korakuen Hall fight fans had the latest show in the Dynamic Glove series. The show, which will be aired on G+ early next week, was one that looked promising when it was first announced but ended up losing it's main event around a week before the show took place. As a result it went from looking good to a little bit under-whelming, though thankfully the fans ended up with a decent show in the end.
The event began with unbeaten prospect Takuma Takahashi (6-0, 6) [高橋 拓磨] sending 37 year old fighter Kodai Kiyota (9-7-2, 9) [清田 広大] into retirement. Kiyota, who hadn't fought in 10 years, was taken out in the first round by Takahashi, who landed a huge right hand that dropped Kiyota. The referee waved off the bout and gave Takahashi a much needed confidence boost after his ugly, controversial, and terrible performance against Leonardo Doronio back in January.
Following Takahashi's win fans then saw a really interesting match up between Shun Sekine (4-0-1, 3) [関根 駿] and Atsuyuki Sato (5-2-2, 3) [佐藤諄幸]. The two 23 year olds fought really evenly here. Sekine started well, before Sato responded, then Sekine had to step it up, before Sato matched him again. Round after round there was little to split the two men and that showed on the score-cards after 6 rounds. Two of the judges had this even, 57-57, whilst the third judge had Sekine winning 58-56, resulting in a majority decision draw.
The third bout on the card saw Shinnosuke Hasegawa (13-2-1, 9) [長谷川 慎之介] score his 12th straight win as he stopped Ikemen Atsushi (7-7-2, 2) [イケメン淳] in the 5th round of their bout. The JBC #3 ranked Super Featherweight was dropped in the opening round, but recovered well, gritted his teeth and managed turn things around. In round 5 he forced Atsushi's corner to throw in their towel and save their man.
The main event saw former world title challenger Takeshi Inoue (17-1-1, 10) [井上 岳志] battling unbeaten fighter Nath Nwachukwu (6-1-2, 3) [ワチュク・ナァツ]. On paper this was a mismatch, and the real question was whether or Nwachukwu was going to last the distance. In reality however this ended up being an interesting bout with the winner more disappointed than the loser. To his credit Inoue looked good to begin with, he looked sharp, used his jab well and like a fringe world class fighter. Nwachukwu on the other hand showed he was tough, hungry, determined and not there to lose. In round 4 Nwachukwu managed to find his groove, and managed to have some success, though the big talking point was a clash of heads that left Inoue cut and marked up around his left eye.
With his eye cut Inoue fought back the desire to have a war and stuck to his boxing, though was certainly made uncomfortable in the later rounds. He even admitted that he had had his rhythm disturbed by the headclash.
After 8 rounds Inoue took a clear decision, winning the bout 78-75, 78-74 and 79-73. Despite the win he was left a mess and after the bout he was picked with plaster covering his left eye and on the right side of his forehead.
After the bout Inoue stated he wasn't at his best and his promoter also seems to be eyeing bigger and better things, likely in an attempt to keep his man eager and hungry.
As for Nwachukwu he seemed to be looking at making the most of this, and move forward with a positive attitude, and with lessons learned from this bout.
For fans wanting to watch this it will be shown on G+ on Tuesday next week.

Some colleagues will be in town this week, and we're planning
to get together for a group meal, most likely in Palo Alto.
I live in San Francisco, and haven't eaten more than a handful
of dinners on the peninsula. Think I ate at the Palo Alto Straits Cafe once many years ago... but that's it.
Anyway, we'll be dining as a group of 5 or 6, and I'm looking for good recommendations. Criteria is pretty broad, but I'm thinking:
- Not insanely expensive... maybe no more than $60 - $70
per person when all is done.
- Not anything too overtly trendy. Would prefer a place
with excellent food and comfortable ambiance rather than
a bustling meat market of loud voices and colorful drinks.
- Any ethnicity is fine, as long as it's good. Though I think
we should probably avoid Indian (which is eaten often for
lunch), and pure sushi (though a Japanese restaurant with
a variety of items could work well)
- Nothing super-fancy or ultra-casual.
We're aiming for pleasant ambiance,
though would prefer a notch above shorts and sandals
(e.g. something a little slicker than a brew pub).
Many thanks for any suggestions!

Even though Lindsay Lohan's stage debut in London was an utter disaster, the troubled "actress" remains as delusional as ever when discussing her future.
In a recent interview to promote her thus-far disastrous turn in David Mamet's Speed the Plow, LiLo discussed her five year plan and it's every bit as insane as you might expect.
"In five years I would like to be married and have children and hopefully be at the Oscars, but that's as far as it goes now."
Gotta love how Lindsay rattles off a bunch of impossible feats and then basically shrugs like it's no big deal. "Ya know, maybe check out Neptune, cure Ebola. The usual."
The interviewer followed that up by asking about Mean Girls, because Lindsay's last successful movie from a decade ago is one of the few interview topics that won't cause her to bury her face in a pile of blow:
"I was with Tina Fey the other day and I said we should do another Mean Girls," Linds said. "Like an older version where they're all housewives and they're all cheating.
Yes, even though Mean Girls came out ten years ago, Linds is still holding out hope for a sequel.
Does she even remember the first movie? We doubt Cady "Africa" Heron would wind up a miserable housewife who cheats on her husband.
Just because Lindsay is a drunken wreck doesn't mean all her characters have to go on to lead miserable lives. What's next, a Parent Trap sequel where the girls team up to break out of rehab?

For Amina Muaddi’s latest campaign, the accessories designer looked to her heritage as the main source of inspiration.
Supermodel (and former Harper’s BAZAAR cover star) Imaan Hammam stars in the new Drop 2/22 campaign, captured by photographer Dexter Navy and styled by Jahleel Weaver (Rihanna’s go-to stylist and creative consultant). The campaign took the creative crew to Cairo, where Muaddi wanted to honor her cultural background and tell a relevant story of “what femininity means today.”
The images feature Hammam in a number of scenarios, including strutting alongside a white Arabian horse and posing atop intricately woven rugs while modeling some of the brand’s latest offerings. Satin pointed-toe pumps, strappy stilettos, and Lucite platforms all embellished with Muaddi’s signature shimmery detailing are front and center in the new imagery.
“I have been trying to make this project happen with Dexter for quite a long time. I really wanted to do something meaningful, an ode to my Arab heritage and a celebration of our culture,” Muaddi tells BAZAAR.com. “This project is important because it is close to our hearts. There isn’t nearly enough representation and spotlight on people with our background. It was crucial for me to work with an almost entirely Arab crew.”
Hammam, who is of Dutch, Moroccan, and Egyptian descent, often speaks openly about her strong connection to Cairo.
“The most beautiful place in the world to me is Cairo, where my father was born,” the model previously told BAZAAR. “I went in October last year for my birthday. Seeing the pyramids was so crazy and magical. To just be like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m from here,’ is even more crazy. … Moroccans, Egyptians, the Arab people—we’re really into incense, oud, musk, and amber. When I smell those, I get so many flashbacks to my childhood.”

Jerusalem's Christian community observes the Holy Fire ceremony
The following reflection was written by Clayton Goodgame who spent several months as an intern with the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns in the fall 2011. Before working with our office, Clayton had spent two years working with Sabeel, the ecumenical liberation theology center in Jerusalem.
On a cloudy Saturday morning just before Easter 2011, I met Hisham and Waleed, Palestinian brothers who are Orthodox Christians, to drive from Ramallah to Jerusalem for the annual Holy Fire ceremony at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, one of the most dramatic and moving pageants in all of Christian tradition. The ceremony was scheduled for early afternoon, just a 10-mile journey south from Ramallah. But my companions knew well the obstacles that awaited Christians traveling to the holy city from the West Bank so we left in darkness, around 5:30 in the morning.
Ramallah has long been home to a community of Palestinian Christians who for centuries made frequent visits to Jerusalem, to shop and see friends and worship. Since the 1967 war, however, the UN-instituted “Green Line” has divided Israel and the West Bank, and for the last decade the two cities have been separated by a 25 foot high separation barrier and the most famous of the West Bank checkpoints, Qalandia, named after the town and refugee camp at its mouth.
Getting to the Old City from inside the Wall
As we descended from Ramallah, we approached the camp and the traffic circle near the checkpoint where, even at this hour, throngs of Palestinians from all over the northern West Bank poured from service taxis and buses. As cars and trucks crawled past, a young boy from the camp directed traffic in a homemade reflector vest while another rushed back and forth between a lean-to propped against an army barricade and the street selling Amr Diab (think Egyptian Ricky Martin) CDs and plastic cups of coffee spiced with cardamom. At the checkpoint workers, worshipers, students and the sick crowded into narrow cages and turnstiles manned by Israeli soldiers, attempting to cross.
In the parking lot near the crossing, I spotted several familiar figures – old women and young men who approach the border each day without the permits that Israeli authorities sparingly issue for travel to Jerusalem. Still, these Palestinians attempt to cross, often hauling massive tarpaulin bags of vegetables, zatar, sage, and other herbs that fetch higher prices in the big city. Many times I have seen these women and men get rejected at one window and simply move to a different line until the chance arose to slip behind someone in the turnstile and sneak under the glass. Sometimes it took hours, but it often worked. Time and again, when I was returning on the bus to Ramallah after a day of work in Jerusalem, sitting beside me, bag empty, would be one of these determined souls, heading home for the evening, with plans to return the next morning.
Bypassing the Qalandia checkpoint, my companions and I drove southeast along the wall towards Hizma, the checkpoint designated for Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Hizma was not built for Palestinians, but those with blue Jerusalem residency cards show up anyway and are usually let through, if only because it would be more of a hassle for the guards to turn them away with so many settlers honking vigorously in the queue behind them. This time everything went smoothly for Hisham and Waleed and me – and once we were through the checkpoint, the roads were clear and illuminated by a vague nimbus in the east.
We arrived near the Old City on Az-Zahra street and parked the car. Andafter a quick breakfast of zatar sfiha and some pomegranate juice, we entered through the Damascus Gate. As we descended the worn stone steps into the souq we were stopped by police and shepherded away from the direct route into the Christian Quarter. Khan Az-Zeit street was entirely blocked off to foot traffic so we turned and climbed up a more roundabout path through the back alleys of the Jabsheh neighborhood where Palestinian Christian youth – mostly Orthodox, but with friends from various other denominations – were congregating, trying to get closer to the church. These days, unless families can wrangle hard-to-get permits to enter the church on Easter, they are turned away by Israeli officials for stated reasons of crowd control and security. Most older Christians and young children do not even attempt to see the ceremony. The youth are another story. Each year, native Jerusalemite Christians are denied permits to attend the Holy Fire, and each year several hundred of their young people go anyway.
The Greek Orthodox Church and the controversy over land and language
The Israeli government regularly withholds permits from West Bank Christians seeking to celebrate Easter in Jerusalem, usually under the pretext of security, though many times no reason is given at all. Easter permits for Jerusalem residents, however, are regulated by both the government and church leaders; in this case, because the Holy Fire ismostly a Greek Orthodox holiday, the authority is the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Ever since Israel gained its independence in 1948 the Orthodox Church has performed a precarious balancing act, attempting to appeal to the government and its own religious community, which, in Israel and the West Bank, is made up almost entirely of Palestinians.
After the Ottoman Empire collapsed more than a century ago, the patriarchate was left with large land holdings in the holy city. When Israel came into the picture, church leaders started making real estate deals with the state (the Knesset and the prime minister’s residence, for example, are located on Orthodox land leased to Israel) in exchange for various political privileges. These land deals have created substantial political unrest among Orthodox Palestinian Christians, many of whom still hold defunct land deeds and keys to homes in West Jerusalem from before 1948 (homes which often still bear the crest of St. George – patron saint of Palestinians – etched in their cornerstones).
The relationship the Orthodox Church has with Israel, enough to anger any Orthodox Palestinian, is exacerbated by the fact that none of the decision-making Orthodox clerical hierarchy (which is made up of Greeks) above the level of priest includes Palestinian clergy. The one notable exception is Bishop Atallah Henna, an outspoken leader in the community who nevertheless presides over a region of the West Bank with very few Christians. In addition, the patriarchate to this day does not hold a full mass in Arabic inside the Holy Sepulcher Church; rather, Orthodox Palestinian Christians in the Old City worship at St. Jacob’s Cathedral outside the main church, while other services are held in Greek within.
Consequently, as the years pass and the population of West Bank Christians declines as a whole (due mostly to emigration), Orthodox Christians have emigrated more often than Roman Catholics or Melkites, the next largest Palestinian denominations. Congregants from all three churches suffer from the same occupation, but the Melkites, for example, use Arabic as the spoken and liturgical language of the church, and the church leaders are local Palestinians.
But there are some Orthodox Palestinians who choose to struggle from within the church. Many young Orthodox proudly describe themselves as “blue-boned,” a reference to Ottoman times, when Christians in Palestine were tortured by Turks and forced to convert to Islam. Those who survived and retained their faith were proud of the bluish scars from wounds and chains. As a result, some Christians today will not convert or leave under any circumstances, and each year many young Orthodox Palestinians make their way to the Holy Fire without permits or support from the church leadership as a way of living in that tradition.
Easter demonstrations as coercive nonviolence
It is no easy path. Each Easter season, the Christian youth and the Israeli police stage a ritual dance in which the former slowly and peacefully force their way to the church and the latter attempt to stop them. The police generally do not wish to fire weapons in the Old City because of the riots that would ensue, so their efforts to stop the crowds moving to the church usually serve only to delay the worshipers. In all probability they know the crowd will prevail, but they must follow their orders; hence the dance.
When I came to witness the ceremony, the police set up a barricade separating Jabsheh from Christian Quarter Road, the major artery leading to the church, and announced that no one would be allowed in. Periodically groups of foreign pilgrims would inch their way to the front of the crowd as we were waiting to begin and they were allowed through, but everyone else was prohibited from entering.
We remained in Jabsheh for two hours while more worshipers arrived and different groups celebrated the holiday with traditional songs, dancing and singing to the beat of the tabla, a traditional hand drum. Finally, around 11:30 am, a couple of hours before the ceremony, the crowd began to surge, tidally, towards the barricade. No one was armed, and no one threw stones or hit police, but with each person pushing his neighbor forward the force of the crowd moved the unfixed aluminum barriers backwards into the street. Police officers did their best to push back but the 10-15 officers and soldiers available were no match for 200 young men and women, and eventually the barrier toppled over. Some in the crowds started running into the road towards the church but as they turned onto Christian Quarter Road, which is wider, there were more police barriers set up at intervals over the hundred or so yards to the church entrance.
Once again everyone was stopped, this time with many more police behind the barricades. Several Palestinian youth leaders spoke with them, trying to assuage their anger. But the crowd moved of its own accord in waves, now surging forward, now holding back. The chief Israeli officer on the street threatened the leaders with arrest and more severe riot control measures but the youth continued to press forward, occasionally breaking out in songs and traditional Easter chants.
After another hour of exhausting and sweaty pushing and one more barricade fallen, a Palestinian parish priest from the Greek Orthodox Church and the Palestinian mukhtar for the Old City approached the barrier police from behind and conferred with the chief; after a few minutes the officer spoke to superiors on the radio and allowed the two to slowly lead the crowd into the church.
With the barriers set aside, relieved police officers stepped away and the group descended the steps into the open courtyard, approaching the main doors to the church. Soldiers stood in groups on either side of the entrance, where areas were roped off for different tourist groups andofficials. We crossed the threshold and to my surprise the main chambers of the church were still unfilled. The upper levels overlooking the tomb were almost completely empty and the main hall, called the Catholicon, was mostly inhabited by clergy and tourists. Even during the ceremony, when there were hundreds of people crowded around the Old City still trying to get in through various gates and barriers, the church was maybe two-thirds full.
Sebt An-Nour – Saturday of Light
The crowd circled around to the back of the Catholicon and proceeded, still chanting (to the dismay of many pilgrims), down the center aisle and into the rotunda. Hisham and Waleed stayed in the aisle as they were part of the procession line for the oldest Orthodox Christian families of Jerusalem, and all other space in the Orthodox chamber was roped off for specific visitors. I circled around to the Armenian shrine near the entrance of the church to get a view of the tomb and the fire lighting.
According to Orthodox tradition, the holy fire ceremony is an annual miracle; each year, the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem approaches the tomb – alongwith Armenian Orthodox and Coptic Church leaders, dressed in full regalia – while his fans chant “Axios, Axios” (worthy, worthy) as he passes. Before the tomb, he removes his vestments and bejeweled mitre and is inspected by a representative of the Israeli police for any concealed matches or lighter. Then, holding a bundle of 33 unlit candles in each hand he enters the tomb,drops to his knees, and prays. And each year the candles are lit, the faithful believe, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
As I watched on my tip-toes behind a group of carbine-wielding soldiers, I caught a glimpse of the patriarch as he exited the tomb, candles ablaze, and in a moment the entire hall was on fire. The priests holding candles were first to spread the flames, and in turn they lit the candles held by worshipers standing all around the tomb, in the hall, on the balcony, outside the church. And for a moment the room was arrested in awe. Full with the heavy smell of incense and the warm sensation of many small fires, pilgrims, clergy, and local Palestinians flooded out of the church to ringing of bells. As they left, the rotunda filled with thick swirls of smoke, opaque near the ground and thinning as it rose, funneling up towards the ceiling and exiting in a rush through the dome of the rotunda, evaporating into the sunlight.
Hisham, Waleed, and I spent some time outside the church with others reliving the past several hours, and then, exhausted and exhilarated and hungry, we began the long journey back home.


Renault managing director Cyril Abiteboul claims that their engine is now matching the power of Ferrari’s.
Despite losing out to Mercedes and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in 2019, Ferrari has been credited as having the most powerful engine on the grid, with Mercedes and Honda just behind.
But now Renault has thrown their name into the ring – the works team suffered a poor campaign slipping from P4 in the Constructors’ in 2018 to P5 this season, though they did help customer team McLaren to that P4 spot while Carlos Sainz earned P6 in the Drivers’ Championship.
McLaren will return to Mercedes power from 2021, leaving Renault without a team to supply, but Abiteboul is adamant that they are matching Ferrari for power.
“According to our measurements, Ferrari and we currently have the most powerful engines in race trim. Then comes Honda and then Mercedes,” he is quoted as having told Auto Motor und Sport.
But, Mercedes’ engine boss Andy Cowell has a different view on the engine rankings in F1.
“The differences between Honda, Renault and us are minimal. Only Ferrari currently stands out”, he said.
“Engine power is really hard to single out. “In the race, a rival car might benefit from a slipstream, DRS, be in full attack mode or saving its tyres.”
Mercedes CEO and team principal Toto Wolff said that as time progresses the trend is always for engine performance to converge.
“I think you will see, over the long-term [the] trend on engine performance is that it will stabilize,” said Wolff at the season-ending Abu Dhabi GP.
“I think we have seen outliers in engine performance, we have seen very good races with Ferrari, we have seen Renault doing a step up and then the same way that has stretched us, so I think, looking over many years’ cycle, these gains will get smaller.
“Like in any mature industry, the marginal gains tend to decrease and I have no doubt that this will happen.”

Upcoming Courses & Events
NCSPP’s Pre-licensed Clinicians Committee invites you to the 22nd in a series of conversations with senior clinicians in the field of depth psychology. Join your colleagues for a stimulating evening of food, wine, and conversation with Dr. Karim Dajani, an immigrant psychoanalyst and instructor at SFCP. Dr. Dajani is deeply interested in the relationship between the individual and the collective.
This course offers an in-depth empirical perspective on technology-mediated therapy. It is designed to help clinicians work more effectively with clients using technology, as well as to better understand the limitations of technology-mediated therapy, the nature of Presence, and the significance of embodied relating. The gains and losses of technologically mediated treatment will be assessed via clinical experience and current research, including in fields outside of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, such as computer/human interaction and neuroscience. Sociopolitical factors will also be considered.
All NCSPP members are invited to celebrate another year of provocative programs, classes, and events, at our Annual Holiday Party. Mingle with new and old NCSPP friends and toast with us in style. The community service award and the student paper award will be announced at the party. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
We send an especially warm welcome to our advanced-practice clinicians. As analytic therapists of all generations gather together for support, this event reminds us of our collective commitment to growth, vitality, and deep thought.
This course will examine psychoanalytic conceptualization and treatment of eating disorders. We will explore these complex and confounding syndromes through multiple lenses: as failures of thought, with unthinkable thoughts becoming stuck in the body; as complex compromise formations tied to early relational experiences; as autistic defenses against intolerable anxieties; as dissociative disorders linked to early experiences of trauma and affect dysregulation; and as disorders of desire and clandestine love affairs marked by anticipation, excitement, secrecy, and disappointment, leaving emptiness in their wake. We will attend to the importance of gender, culture, and the role of the therapist’s body in the treatment situation throughout.
The hallmark of psychodynamic treatment is a focus on psychological patterns and processes that underlie overt symptoms — in other words, personality dynamics. In his lecture, “Personality Pathways to Depression,” Dr. Shedler will discuss the personality styles and syndromes most often seen in clinical practice (narcissistic, borderline, obsessive-compulsive, etc.), describe how each personality style represents a unique pathway to “depression” that requires a distinct treatment focus, and offer clinical strategies for deepening treatment.

GOP senators are ready to go on the attack against two Big Tech CEOs at a Senate hearing tomorrow about how online censorship influenced the election.
The hearing, entitled “Breaking the News: Censorship, Suppression, and the 2020 Election,” will feature testimony from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Senate Republicans are ready for round two.
The timing for this hearing is fitting, considering Twitter and Facebook’s constant censorship of posts related to the election, especially the Hunter Biden scandal.
According to the motion made by Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the CEOs will testify about:
- “(1) the suppression and/or censorship of two news articles from the New York Post titled ‘Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad’ and ‘Emails reveal how Hunter Biden tried to cash in big on behalf of family with Chinese firm,’
- “(2) any other content moderation policies, practices, or actions that may interfere with or influence elections for federal office, and
- “(3) any other recent determinations to temporarily reduce distribution of material pending fact-checker review and/or block and mark material as potentially unsafe.”
In a previous hearing in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, Dorsey and Zuckerberg joined Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and were thoroughly grilled regarding the censorship of the aforementioned New York Post story.
“Preventing a news story from being shared is what China does on Weibo and it’s what Twitter did to the New York Post. Tomorrow, I look forward to hearing from Facebook and Twitter CEOs about how they censored and suppressed voices during the 2020 election,” said Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in a statement to NewsBusters.
As CNet pointed out, “An interesting wrinkle in the proceedings will be the presence of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, a California Democrat. Harris has close ties to Silicon Valley and is friendly with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Still, expect Harris, who has supported laws on digital privacy, online harassment and app-based gig worker protections, to go tough on the witnesses.”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) celebrated the Committee’s decision to subpoena Dorsey and Zuckerberg on Twitter in October, saying: “#BigTech CEOs are drunk on power & must be held accountable for interfering in this election. Last week I led calls to subpoena @Twitter & @Facebook’s CEOs to testify before @senjudiciary. Today my colleagues passed that subpoena. We will get answers for the American people.”
Conservatives are under attack. Contact Facebook headquarters at 1-650-308-7300 and Twitter at (415) 222-9670, and contact your state representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

Jeff Hardy took to Twitter this evening with a rare tweet about his pro wrestling future, in response to the viral comments he made earlier this week about going to AEW.
Hardy appeared to backtrack on going to AEW in an update, but he is likely covering for himself because he is still under a 90-day non-compete clause with WWE.
“There is nothing official, SocialMedia. It can’t possibly be right now. I’ve simply set a goal for myself, which I will hopefully achieve…someday? “The main thing is, ‘Don’t get too excited!'” Hardy tweeted today.
When Hardy’s non-compete clause expires at the end of Wednesday, March 9, he will reportedly become a free agent from WWE.
Nothing is official, https://t.co/LtLomkmeE6 can’t be right now.I’ve simply set a goal for myself & I will achieve it…eventually?
The main thing is,”Don’t get excited!”
— #BrotherNero DELETED (@JEFFHARDYBRAND) February 24, 2022
Hardy, a three-time WWE Champion, joined the company in 1998. The Hardy Boyz tag team, along with his brother Matt, were at the forefront of WWE’s exciting tag division in the early 2000s, before Jeff broke out on his own as a singles star.
Jeff was fired from WWE in 2003 due to erratic behaviour and substance abuse issues. These issues persisted throughout Jeff’s career, and he alternated between WWE and TNA/Impact Wrestling before returning to WWE for the final time at WrestleMania 33 in 2017.

IHeartMedia Inc. disclosed details of its negotiations with lenders on ways to manage its debt and cut its interest costs as the struggling radio broadcast seeks to end a pending creditor lawsuit.
The broadcaster and advertising company, formerly known as Clear Channel Communications, said the two parties are negotiating what types of cash transfers are allowed among subsidiaries as well as other debt terms, according to company filings. IHeartMedia said early this month that it was in mediation with a small group of its senior bondholders.
Under the proposals issued by the company and its creditors, the primary dispute is over the use of IHeart’s unrestricted units for financing “without restraint” and the company’s desire for “additional asset carveouts,” Citigroup Inc. analyst David Phipps wrote in a research note Monday.
In the proposal from lenders on May 13, the creditors asked IHeartMedia to “limit all future dispositions to within credit group,” meaning cash transfers among subsidiaries would be restricted. The company countered in a proposal on May 15, saying that it wants to exclude its Clear Channel Outdoor unit, or CCO, from those restrictions, requesting that the clause “does not limit CCO’s ability to use unrestricted subsidiaries under its financing agreements.”
The two parties, which have signed non-disclosure agreements, are also negotiating a number of terms including an interest rate reduction, an extension of the maturity of the debt as well as certain milestones the company needs to reach in order to be allowed to pay down more junior debt, according to the filings.
The discussions come after the small group of creditors alleged that the company was in default over a transfer of 100 million shares of Class B common stock from a restricted subsidiary to an unrestricted unit called Broader Media. The lenders maintained that the move violated certain debt covenants. IHeart sued the creditors in March to reaffirm its contention that the contribution was permitted, and a Texas judge ordered that any default notices be rescinded until the case is tried.
The trial began today.
“The outcome of the litigation may have a substantial bearing on the outcome of these negotiations, which may be discontinued at any time by any party,” IHeart said in the filing.
IHeartMedia owns 22 Colorado radio stations, including 850 KOA.
IHeartMedia’s $1.6 billion 14 percent senior unsecured notes maturing in February 2021 jumped 7 cents to 37 cents on the dollar at 10:57 a.m. in New York, according to Trace, a bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. They were among the best performing bonds in the debt market Monday.

What’s the Story?

“The four actors on stage project well and play their roles with obvious enjoyment and confidence”
The Festival of New London Irish Writing 2018 is showcasing a series of plays, songs and readings across various venues during February and March. One play that has already attracted media interest is from the Festival’s category ‘Against All Odds’. What’s the Story? pays tribute to two young Irish nurses who heroically saved the lives of seventeen of their patients when the Lewisham hospital ward where they worked was bombed by German aircraft during the Second World War.
Whilst their act of bravery and subsequent award of the George Medal was reported in the Daily Mirror in 1941, little else was known about Mary Fleming and Aileen Turner, so despite much research by writer Maureen Alcorn much of the play we see is ‘imagined’.
The audience is greeted by a very basic set. Over the following ninety minutes we not only learn more about the two nurses, but also about what it was like to live in wartime London and the attitudes of people living on the edge with the ever present threat of air raids. We are also reminded, through two of the male characters, about some of the horrible diseases that were prevalent in England at the time – TB and polio in particular.
The play honours the bravery of the many Irish women who chose to leave a country that had adopted a policy of neutrality, to come to England. For women, nursing was particularly attractive as it offered free training in the hospitals and wages were more generous than in Ireland. However London was a fairly dangerous place where looting and muggings were rife as thieves took advantage of the blackout and sparse police presence.
We meet Aileen (Lauren Cardiff), a young woman who on a cigarette break gets to know Bert (Alex Stevens) a trainee reporter struck down with polio. Bert has lost his brother in the battlefields of France and feels a failure that he was turned down when he tried to join up to serve his country. He of course eventually falls in love with Aileen and is the man responsible for writing the story of the women’s bravery. Aileen’s colleague, Mary (Jessica Kearney) crosses the professional line when she falls in love with TB sufferer Martin (Louis Rayneau). There follows some sub plots which introduce the characters of the Military Officer, the Policeman and the Doctor all also played by Rayneau.
The four actors on stage project well and play their roles with obvious enjoyment and confidence though Louis Rayneau does seem to struggle at times with some of the characters he portrays.
Alcorn should be congratulated for not only bringing to a greater audience the selfless acts of bravery by Fleming and Turner, but for creating a thought-provoking play with little factual material to work on. Her attendance for the performance and taking on a post show question time demonstrated her passion and commitment to bring this important story to life. Overall an enjoyable production highlighting the courage of those two nurses and giving an insight to life in those grim wartime conditions.

In Los Angeles, a desperate man seeks out renowned archaeologist Nina Wilde and her husband, ex–SAS soldier Eddie Chase—only to be gunned down in front of them. The assassin is soon identified as a ninety-year-old Nazi war criminal—with the body of a healthy forty-year-old. Following the victim’s final warnings, Nina and Eddie travel to Cairo to inspect the newly discovered tomb of Alexander the Great. But the real find is hidden in one of its treasures—a mechanical guide leading to one of antiquity’s most tantalizing myths: a spring of water said to give eternal life to those who drink it. Nina, Eddie, and a team of Mossad agents realize that the myth is real, and that a group of former SS men who have tasted this water are now hunting for its source. But before they can act, Nina is kidnapped and spirited away to a secret Nazi enclave in Argentina, igniting a fierce, fateful, globe-spanning struggle in which her life hangs in the balance. All the while a terrifying possibility emerges—that the world’s darkest evil could live on forever.

City Plaza used to be home to some small retail outlets, a library and the BCC customer service centre. It was squeezed in between city hall and the council administration building.
It is now all gone and has been replaced a 30 storey high rise office block called 275 George.
Google Earth still shows an aerial view City Plaza while street view shows the construction hoardings around the new building.
However two small bits of concrete from City Plaza remain. They are located in a quiet area where City Plaza, City Hall and the admin building once met and are the reason for the cache.
Although the general area is now covered with cameras this little spot seems to have been ignored. The cache is not hidden in the gardens, the sculpture or in the white rocks underfoot.
Because of the flaky GPS signal, the hints below are intended to make your search short and sweet.

A single-vehicle crash claimed the life of a Eufaula teen Tuesday afternoon.
State Trooper Sgt. Steve Jarrett, a spokesperson for the state Department of Public Safety, said Brittany Garrett, 14, of Eufaula was killed when the 1995 Ford Ranger pickup in which she was a passenger left the roadway and overturned.
The driver, Jamie Dean, 16, also of Eufaula, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Southeast Alabama Medical Center.
The crash occurred about seven miles south of Dothan on U.S. 231 northbound at approximately 2:25 p.m.
Jarrett said troopers continue to investigate.


Is this a serious Fappy ransomware virus
Fappy ransomware is a file-encrypting malware, but the categorization you possibly have heard before is ransomware. While ransomware has been broadly talked about, you might have missed it, therefore you may be unaware of the harm it may do. Ransomware uses strong encryption algorithms to encrypt files, and once they are locked, you won’t be able to open them. Because file encoding malware may result in permanent file loss, this kind of threat is highly dangerous to have.
Criminals will give you the option of recovering files by paying the ransom, but that isn’t the suggested option. First of all, you may be wasting your money because cyber criminals don’t always restore data after payment. It would be naive to think that crooks will feel any obligation to help you in file recovery, when they do not have to. You should also take into consideration that the money will go into future criminal activities. Do you really want to support the kind of criminal activity that does billions worth of damage. And the more people give into the demands, the more profitable ransomware gets, and that kind of money surely attracts people who want easy income. Buying backup with the demanded money would be a much better choice because if you are ever put in this type of situation again, you may just recover files from backup and their loss wouldn’t be a possibility. If backup was made prior to infection, delete Fappy ransomware virus and restore files from there. We’ll explain data encrypting malware distribution methods and how to avoid it in the below paragraph.
How did you get Fappy ransomware
Frequently, ransomware spreads via spam emails, exploit kits and malicious downloads. It is often not necessary to come up with more sophisticated ways since plenty of people aren’t careful when they use emails and download files. More sophisticated methods could be used as well, although they are not as popular. All hackers need to do is use a known company name, write a generic but somewhat credible email, add the infected file to the email and send it to future victims. People are more prone to opening money-related emails, thus those kinds of topics are often used. And if someone who pretends to be Amazon was to email a user about questionable activity in their account or a purchase, the account owner would be much more prone to opening the attachment without thinking. When you are dealing with emails, there are certain things to look out for if you want to secure your device. Firstly, if you don’t know the sender, investigate them before you open the file attached. And if you are familiar with them, check the email address to make sure it matches the person’s/company’s legitimate address. The emails can be full of grammar mistakes, which tend to be pretty noticeable. Another evident sign could be your name being absent, if, lets say you are an Amazon user and they were to send you an email, they would not use general greetings like Dear Customer/Member/User, and instead would use the name you have given them with. The file encrypting malicious software can also infect by using unpatched computer software. All programs have vulnerabilities but when they’re identified, they’re usually fixed by software makes so that malware can’t use it to get into a computer. However, as widespread ransomware attacks have shown, not everyone installs those patches. You’re encouraged to frequently update your programs, whenever an update is released. Updates could install automatically, if you find those notifications annoying.
How does Fappy ransomware behave
When your system becomes infected with file encoding malicious programs, you will soon find your files encrypted. Even if infection was not evident from the beginning, you’ll definitely know something’s wrong when files do not open as they should. Files that have been affected will have a weird file extension, which can help people figure out the file encrypting malicious software’s name. If a powerful encryption algorithm was used, it may make file restoring rather difficult, if not impossible. After all files have been locked, you’ll see a ransom note, which should explain, to some extent, what has happened and how you ought to proceed. According to the hackers, you’ll be able to restore data via their decryptor, which will evidently not come for free. If the ransom amount isn’t specified, you’d have to use the given email address to contact the cyber criminals to see the amount, which might depend on the value of your data. As we have already specified, paying for a decryption software is not the wisest idea, for reasons we have already discussed. When any of the other option does not help, only then you ought to even consider complying with the requests. It’s also pretty probably that you have just forgotten that you’ve backed up your files. You might also be able to find a free decryptor. If a malware researcher is capable of cracking the data encrypting malware, a free decryption tools may be released. Take that into account before you even think about paying cyber crooks. If you use some of that money for backup, you would not be put in this kind of situation again as your data would be saved somewhere secure. If you have stored your files somewhere, you can go recover them after you uninstall Fappy ransomware virus. If you familiarize yourself with file encrypting malware’s distribution methods, you should be able to avoid future threats of this kind. You primarily have to update your programs whenever an update becomes available, only download from secure/legitimate sources and stop randomly opening files added to emails.
Methods to remove Fappy ransomware virus
an anti-malware tool will be necessary if you want to get rid of the ransomware in case it’s still present on your computer. If you try to fix Fappy ransomware virus in a manual way, you could end up harming your system further so we don’t encourage it. An anti-malware software would be the encouraged choice in this case. These kinds of programs are created with the intention of detecting or even preventing these types of threats. Pick the malware removal software that best suits what you need, and scan your system for the threat once you install it. The utility will not help recover your data, however. After the ransomware is completely eliminated, it is safe to use your computer again.

Comments made by Surgeons regarding victims suffering from health complications should be discounted due to being incorrectly diagnosed only are nothing more than lies.
1000’s of testimonies, 80 years of medical studies and medical options from, gastroenterologists, MD’s and nutritionist and honest surgeons, strongly disagree with these surgeons’ claims.
Gallbladder surgery is carry out in a manner, which is medical fraud; the body will most likely never function correctly again after re-plumbing bile ducts connected to vital organs on right side of body.
Many victims testifying spend 10’s of thousands of dollars desperately seeking treatment support for complications later diagnosed as Postcholecystectomy syndrome from the very best specialists’ money can buy. Some even travel the worldwide seeking support, only to receive the advice that very little can be done, “Postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) is difficult to treat, there is no cure, and the body is permanently damaged once gallbladder is removed”
Many victims testifying to wanting to sue their surgeon for obtaining consent through deceptive fraudulent means without providing informed consent and disclosing likely heath complications.
Unfortunately, for every honest medical specialist, medical doctor, nutritionist, Gastro and even honest surgeon warning of PCS complications, two or more dishonest medical surgeons will gather to lie and cover up the truth about the horrible heath complications, even denying the existence of PCS. A post on this site described her suffering as slow murder. She is telling the truth, there are 1000’s of victims begging for help from anyone with answers through online forums. Their testimonies of suffering are just horrific.
A surgeon acting in an ethical manner under doctors hypocritical oath “ shall do no harm” will advise patients when obtaining informed consent, the likely risk of developing Postcholecystectomy syndrome heath complications is as high as 40% (many studies have complications occurring over 50 – 80%) and that 70% of PCS suffers will experience pain.
The truth – Many patents with no gallbladder disease symptoms prior to surgery testifying to now living with incredible debilitating pain from new PCS problems that develop. These newly developed health problems experienced include reflux: GERD, acid, burning feeling, heartburn, hungry, burps, Weight Gain, high cholesterol, weight Loss, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) , rashes, allergies, diarrhea, dumping syndrome, Bowel problems, constipation, putrid Gas flatulence, nausea, massive bloating, indigestion, bad breath, breathing issues, vomiting, fatigue, exhaustion, tiredness, dizziness, chest, heart, shoulder, abdomen, rib, back, right pain, RU, Upper Right Quadrant, pelvic, and throat pain. Also metallic taste, dry mouth, swallowing, hiatal hernia, gastritis, Barrett’s esophagus, depression, anxiety, panic attacks. Celiac disease, SOD Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, pancreatitis, fatty Liver, stomach cramps, PAIN and the list just goes on and on and on.
Patents with gallbladder disease symptoms (above) prior to treatment testify to symptoms actually getting worse after reduced functioning gallbladder is completely removed to zero
I believe the root caused for above listed health problems is the removal of the body’s ability to provide bile in required quantities, matched with food necessary to break down, extract nutrients (vitamin deficiency A, D, E, & K …) and act as a lubricant for food waist to pass thought the body. Continual running bile without catchment and no food present in gut causes celiac type complications and confirmed by a New Zealand Gastro - bile will leak into the stomach causing IBS. Bile reflux damages the throat and teeth. Without the ability to process and pass food thought the body, bloating occurs, eventually constipation kicks in after initial loose stools and even dumping syndrome, followed by fatty liver, fat build up around vital organs in the upper chest, belly and sides. Risk of colon cancer is possibly due to food taking many days to pass, continual bloating / blocked digestion system.
There are NO end-to-end medical studies backing claims Cholecystectomy recipients can live a normal healthy life free of PCS complications.
Some medical studies estimate loss of life expectancy is twice as much if the gallbladder is removed in later years compared to younger recipients.
Research has shown gallbladder removal can increase your likelihood for colon cancer. Patents with no Gallbladder are more likely to experience heart disease and other serious health challenges, such as obesity and even diabetes.
The extent to which surgeons lie to obtain consent by deception include advising would be clients the following during consultation process:
• Gallbladder is a non-essential organ, not needed.
• There is no medical understanding why gallstones are created.
• Claiming 100% of patients undergoing their treatment do not have problems going forward.
• That there are no heath complications at all,
• The existence of post-Cholecystectomy syndrome is controversial and that bloating, reflux, fatty liver, weight gain, Stomach pains (IBS) are not complications resulting from their prescribed treatment
• No injury (damage) to the body takes place.
• “There is nothing in reputable medical literature supporting reflux should be referred to as a (post procedure) complication”
• “Gallstones are thought to be either an initiator or promoter of gallbladder cancer”
(FACT estimated 0.3 – 3% only)
• “There is no adverse effect on the gut’s ability to metabolize fat”
• No adverse side effects for patents involved in health and fitness lifestyles, endurance sports (eating twice-normal food intake to match 5-10 times normal cardio output) can continue to live in a normal manner following treatment.
• “Chemicals used for dissolution are toxic”, "old fashioned treatment". “The patient needs to remain on the chemicals for life”.
• The best one of all: “A gallbladder containing gallstones by medical definition is diseased and the only safe treatment to remove the gallbladder is Cholecystectomy”
Gallbladder surgery carried out in many circumstance appears to be the biggest medical surgical fraud in operation in US and 100% in New Zealand, breaching human rights (right to life), consumer law, the New Zealand Heath and Disability Act - right to informed consent, right to access to on-going treatment support, world heath medical standards for human rights – the right to life, Hippocratic Oath taken by physicians “shall do no harm”, The bill of rights - no person shall be deprived of life and due to the number of victims being in the hundreds of thousands, crime against humanity.
The US and New Zealand Surgeons current practice of denying patents the rights for full disclose for informed consent pre or post procedure have the moral and ethical integrity of habitual serial rapists and are committing medical fraud.
The above opinion is NOT backed by Medical Surgeons. Seek medical advice from at least five non-Surgeon medical specialists before proceeding with surgery to remove your gallbladder and heath risk on gallbladder disease. Ask for any medical opinion justifying procedure be put in writing and for consent documents to list all on-going possible risks to heath from the procedure and treatment required to treat the complications and likely cost and success rate for recovery. Response will shock.
A post on this site described her suffering as slow murder. She is telling the truth, there are 1000’s of victims begging for help from anyone with answers through online forums. Their testimonies of suffering are just horrific.
The same medical fraud took place in my situation. Every aspect of my life destroyed by a lying dishonest New Zealand surgeon who concealed the high likely risk of developing PCS compilations when specifically asked about risks in order to obtaining consent. Lied when providing post operation support - advising immediate amd unusual gain in body mass weight was not a result of having no gallbladder and continuing to deny ongoing heath complications. Who then successfully prevented any post treatment support by providing dishonest medial option to independent medical assessment panels , advising new heath complications (many listed below) were not a result of a removed gallbladder, even to the extent of discounting the existence of PCS, advising 100% of treated patents (in the thousands) experience no heath complications.
I developed a single gallstone, right side pain only in mornings and after 90-minute endurance cardio workouts at gym or early mornings before getting up. No Attack, no stomach pains, nothing else that confirmed a diseased gallbladder. As a heath and fitness gym junky, endurance sports mad fitness freak, I was told by my private heath funded Surgeon I had no option but to remove the stone through surgery to remove my entire gallbladder. Greatest risk presented to me if no undergoing treatment offered a remote possibility of death. Consent provide only on the basis of no affect to my healthy life style and no ongoing heath risks
As a result of medical fraud and subsequent cover-up by corrupt New Zealand Surgeons, my heath is left permanently butchered from what appears to be treatment injury damage to bile ducts ( required for bile flow to processing food). I am in daily pain and discomfort. There is no treatment support offered by any New Zealand public or private hospital specialist, support also and blocked by New Zealand Surgeons presenting medical opinion denying heath complications (many listed above) as side affects of having a removed gallbladder . With no support, there is no hope for the further. Life goals and ambitions replaced with a painful living hell fighting for survival or recovery from damage affecting vital organs such as liver , heart and pancreas.
For me, serious heath complications kicked in with in 7 months post procedure. The right side pain symptom justifying the procedure never went away and more painful at times. I have not been able to maintain fulltime employment income for the last six years now. I am unable to maintain my career and future employment opportunities are limited. For every 6-9 month employment, 2-3 months time off work is required to recover from resulting damage of my bodies systematic shut down (another story confirming treatment is a fraud – the re-plumbing of the bodies bile ducts does not work). Financial cost and loss of income over the last 6 years has been huge. Loss of my net take home salary caused from the bodies shut down or fighting to recover health estimated to be well over $300,000. Cost of seeking medical support, treatment and taking time out to recovery my heath is over $50,000. I have been living out of a suit case since 2007, either traveling for short term contract work or recovering from the resulting systematic heath complications that immediately kick in when starting a 9-5 in a seated desk job
it is my opinion - US and New Zealand Surgeons with the current practice of denying patents the rights for full disclosed informed consent, have the moral and ethical integrity of habitual serial rapists when committing medical fraud.
I hope to find time to provide a follow-up post summarising 7 years of systematic heath shutdowns (many of the above listed complications developed) and recovery through a process of enabling better bile flow from damaged bile ducts over a 2-3 month period, providing also more proof the procedure does not work for many patients and answers to why heath complications occur post gallbladder removal. Writing is not my best skillset.
We are fearfully made, our bodies are a precious gift to be used for good, not destroyed for dishonest profit. Beware of the disguised vicious wolves
Story after story of pain relief and happy people.
Granted there are more stories online of unhappy people but the reason you are hearing from them is there desperation. Multiply their numbers by the thousands of satisfied patients that have no reason to come post their experience online.. And you have a more accurate picture of a glass half full. I'm 11 days post op and MY PAIN IS GONE.
