Friends star makes surprising career move as she steps away from acting
The cast of Friends became some of the most recognisable faces in showbiz when they landed on screens in 1994 - but one actor has now stepped away from the industry all together The Friends cast haven't been able to escape from their character's names since the show first aired in 1994. However, one star has moved far away from the sitcom as she reveals her surprising career change. A huge storyline in the NBC sitcom was Ross Geller's (David Schwimmer) unfortunate love life, which all started off with his first wife Carol (Jane Sibbett). The couple shared son Ben, although Carol left Ross for Susan Bunch, played by Jessica Hecht. The onscreen relationship between the two was groundbreaking, making history with the first lesbian wedding on network television in the episode "The One with the Lesbian Wedding", which aired on NBC on January 18, 1996. Jane, who appeared in 15 episodes of the NBC sitcom which aired from 1994-2001 now has a very different career - as an energy healer. The 62-year-old moved from California to Hawaii over a decade ago to pursue a career as an energy healer. Speaking about the transitioning from acting to healing and spirituality with PEOPLE, Jane said: 'When I work with the dancing hands, it's not me. It's source energy coming through me, and so I just feel nothing but bliss and joy and love when I am in this state." Before her move to Hawaii, Jane and her hosted goddess circles for women, with groups ranging from 15 to 100 people who would partake in the spiritual activity. The couple later launched a production company, although later split while living in Hawaii. I was on my knees because I was really broken hearted by everything, and part of that was my stuff that I had to deal with,' she told the publication. Jane then embraced her new career as an energy healer. 'I wouldn't call it Reiki,' she said. '[My hands] just started dancing because I was never trained in Reiki, so I wouldn't even know what that is. I believe in it, I trust it [but] it's just not what I do. This wasn't trained. This just came in fully fleshed, immediately.' In 2020, Jane opened up about the backlash she received from viewers for playing lesbian character Carol on the hit sitcom. Speaking with Now To Love, she said: "It became apparent soon after [the show premiered] there was suddenly a responsibility about being able to stand up against all of the people that were saying this was wrong, including my own father who had a really hard time with that." It came after the actress revealed she was initially poached for Jennifer Aniston 's role of Rachel Green before the show began filming. However, she was unable to take on the role as she was pregnant at the time.

'Then somebody said, 'Hey, you were so good at that. I know somebody else who needs your help,'' Sibbett continued, 'and so I went to one person, and then I did the next person, and I did the next.'

Famous doctor's warped excuse for strangling wife and dumping her in pond
A once-prominent doctor, Ingolf 'Harry' Tuerk, who has now been sentenced, said he'd been defending himself when he strangled his wife of five months, Kathleen McLean A surgeon who strangled his wife before throwing her away "like a bag of trash" has shared his excuse during sentencing, in an apology to the deceased. Back in April, Ingolf 'Harry' Tuerk, a once prominent doctor from Dover, Massachusetts, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter instead of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Kathleen McLean. The court heard how Tuerk, who was sentenced to 12 to 16 years behind bars, strangled 45-year-old Kathleen and "disposed of her body in a pond and weighed her down with rocks". Testifying during his trial, Tuerk, 63, told the court that he hadn't intended to harm mum of three Kathleen, whom he'd married just five months before her death on May 15, 2020. CBS News reports that Tuerk confessed to putting his hands on Kathleen's neck but stated that he had been defending himself during a fight, in which he claimed she'd thrown a glass at him. Tuerk, the former head of urology at Boston's St. Elizabeth Hospital in Boston, testified: "I snapped, I kind of blacked out. I grabbed her. On the neck." Remarking that Tuerk had thrown Kathleen's body away "like a bag of trash", the judge said: "I can't imagine a human being's last moments on earth while being strangled by her husband, it's simply difficult to fathom." On the same day that Kathleen's body was recovered, with "injuries and bruising consistent with strangulation", Tuerk was found unresponsive in a Dedham hotel and taken to a nearby hospital. As reported by PEOPLE, the Commonwealth's sentencing memorandum shows that Tuerk married Reiki master Kathleen in December 2019, and the relationship 'quickly deteriorated". In February 2020, a restraining order was issued against Tuerk, who was asked to leave the marital home. Allegations of domestic violence were also made against the defendant, including claims that Tuerk allegedly beat and threatened Kathleen. Reconciliation attempts were made, and on May 14, the couple spent the evening together at home with Kathleen's three children, all of whom gave witness impact statements. As per Law & Crime, Kathleen's now 21-year-old daughter recalled the night of her mother's death, telling the court: 'Five years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night, looked down the stairs, and saw Harry Tuerk. "I instantly knew something bad had happened. We made eye contact and since then I've been filled with a whole new level of fear I didn't know was quite possible.' Kathleen's sister, Beth Molanson, also paid tribute to a woman she remembers "as vibrant and full of life". She shared: "She always had a smile, she was calm, she had more patience than anyone I know, and most importantly, she was a mother to her three children, Sophie, Gracie and Sam. Everything she did in her life centred around her three babies." A specialist in the field of robotic and laparoscopic surgery for urinary obstruction, Tuerk earned some fame in his profession but was ultimately terminated from St. Elizabeth's Medical Centre after coming under investigation for inappropriately billing the Medicaid program, the Boston Herald reports. In a statement read aloud before the court, Tuerk apologised to Kathleen, as reported by Boston25News, saying: 'I'm sorry, Katie. Please forgive me for having reacted in such a way on May 15, 2020, that it caused the end of your life. I'm thinking about you every day. I wish I could make it all unhappen.' He also apologised to Kathleen's three children, continuing: 'I've been waiting for five years to be able to reach out to Katie's children. Please accept my condolences and apologies, Sophia, Grace, and Sam, for having taken your mom away from you. I can't even imagine the pain I've caused you.'

Innovation and Practice of Remote Instant Personality Development
Hadi Eltonsi Physician and retired Ambassador My passion for psychological learning began during high school, influenced by my sister's studies in psychology and philosophy at the Faculty of Arts. I often reviewed her coursework. Later, during my fourth year of medical school, I volunteered in an experimental group for innovative group psychotherapy. This experience deepened my self-understanding and personal development over a year and a half of analytical practice. Subsequently, I received a lucrative offer to work with the late Professor Dr. Yehia Al-Rakhawi (may he rest in peace), who led the group. However, I chose to become the first physician to join the diplomatic corps as an attaché, believing that psychological learning through interaction with diverse cultures and peoples complements introspective analysis. This analytical ability, I found, aids in understanding and anticipating policies, professional relationships, and even negotiations. In the early 1990s, I met the great late Dr. Wagdi Ragheb, who taught me that Americans had discovered discrepancies between Freudian psychoanalysis (which they deemed overly theoretical) and the actual workings of the human nervous system. Focusing on internal negative emotions, he argued, amplifies them, draining energy into tensions that harm mental and physical health, thereby affecting activities and relationships. By consciously redirecting emotional attention outward—away from internal psychological reactions—these negative emotions dissolve within two months. The energy once consumed by them is redirected to external life, enabling abundant, flexible energy to resolve crises with sensitivity, deep awareness, and swift, accurate decisions. This state of calm, happiness, inner peace, efficiency, and maturity mirrors the psychological standards required for astronaut selection. I trained myself to achieve this over two years, whereas my *Remote Instant Leadership Personality Development* method enables recipients to attain it in a single session of several hours. This involves a three-hour video call to agree on personality analysis and development goals at the conscious mind level. The agreed-upon personality traits and goals are then imprinted on the subconscious mind during sleep via telepathy, energy transfer, Reiki, hypnosis, and role embodiment. ### Professional Journey and Certifications Since 1995, my work in Guatemala allowed me time to complete studies in psychology, human medicine, energy sciences, and parapsychology. Key certifications include: - **The Silva Mind Control Method**: Enabled meditation, visualization, and development of extrasensory abilities like telepathy. - Clinical and conversational hypnosis training, including mastering silent hypnosis (inducing deep sleep without dialogue), allowing ideas and emotions transmitted via telepathy to embed directly into the subconscious. This contrasts with Freudian hypnosis, which relies on relaxed conscious states where recipients may resist therapeutic messages, necessitating repeated sessions. - Certifications in life coaching, Reiki mastery, pranic healing, family constellations, and advanced yoga (notably mantra-based meditation), which enhanced my Kundalini energy and chakra alignment for mental, spiritual, and physical fitness. ### Evolution of the Method Starting in 1997, I offered free silent hypnosis to volunteers, imprinting agreed-upon psychological states on their subconscious. While successful, results were temporary. To address this, I introduced pre-session dialogues resembling cognitive-behavioral therapy to align analysis and goals, ensuring therapeutic messages were mutually agreed upon and effective. Success soared when recipients were cooperative, transparent, and convinced—since the subconscious cannot adopt unagreed-upon imprints. After retirement, I began professional practice in 2015. In 2016, Egypt's Supreme Council for Culture granted me intellectual property rights for in-person instant personality development. Two years later, it was published as a groundbreaking research paper in a British psychiatry and psychology journal. In 2022, the remote version received Egyptian IP rights and was republished in the same journal. The COVID-19 pandemic spurred me to integrate Reiki, extending the method's reach globally. Both in-person and remote methods achieve identical outcomes, though remote sessions offer greater accessibility, safety, and scalability. The non-therapeutic branding also facilitates international use without medical licensing, serving functional purposes like boosting productivity and improving workplace dynamics, even for non-clinical recipients—all without complications, pain, or medication. ### Methodology and Outcomes The remote instant personality development method delivers immediate, permanent, and comprehensive results through: 1. A single 3-hour video call to analyze personality and set conscious-level goals. 2. Imprinting these goals on the subconscious during sleep via telepathy, Reiki, hypnosis, and role embodiment. A brief pre-session call ensures suitability and clarifies benefits. Follow-up calls the next day verify results, with ongoing guidance as needed. Recipients achieve peak happiness, inner peace, maturity, and efficiency, embodying leadership mindsets that inspire teams, foster mutually beneficial relationships, and resolve crises creatively. The method also addresses neurological issues (depression, anxiety, phobias, trauma, OCD, psychosomatic disorders) and negative habits (insomnia, obesity, smoking)—with a 96% success rate among willing participants. It excludes psychotic disorders, active substance addiction, and children under 12. ### Impact and Vision This method enhances productivity and workplace environments across corporations, banks, universities, and institutions by equipping leaders with happiness, efficiency, and crisis-management skills. Health and lifestyle improvements are detailed on my official website, which features testimonials, CV, media coverage, and international conference recordings. An international innovation publisher recognized it as one of 2021's top global discoveries, dedicating a chapter to it in their reference book. I was also appointed Chair of Medicine and Wellbeing by Earth Loving Friends Organisation to globalize this breakthrough. Trained practitioners could amplify its reach, revolutionizing workplaces and societal harmony. Imagine managers worldwide undergoing instant leadership development, boosting productivity and well-being—a potential catalyst for international scientific acclaim. While Dubai's health undersecretary, Dr. Amin Al-Amiri, deemed it an energy-based practice requiring no hospital licensing, Egyptian psychiatrists acknowledge its legitimacy alongside homeopathy and acupuncture. ### Advocacy and Call to Action Despite eight years of outreach to Egyptian and international authorities, I fear this discovery—a fusion of psychotherapy, energy work, and leadership training—may fade without institutional support. Unlike conventional sciences, energy-based methods lack licensure frameworks, though parapsychology institutes globally aid military, political, and scientific endeavors. For instance, lecturer Gregg Braden's YouTube video shows three healers eradicating a tumor in three minutes via energy alignment in a Chinese non-pharmaceutical hospital. The U.S. Air Force's 1986 lab experiments confirmed humans share an invisible energy field where passion can alter DNA remotely—proof that energy and intent rival pharmaceuticals. Yet industries built on denying such realities hinder its adoption. To ensure credibility, I propose training talented practitioners under a scientific body to assess, certify, and globalize this method. Medical tourism centers, leadership institutes, and individual sessions could democratize access while generating profit. My seminars at Egypt's public libraries, diplomatic clubs, Vienna, and virtual platforms (see my website) have showcased its potential. I urge UNESCO or Arab/international bodies to evaluate and endorse this humanistic breakthrough. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why? Analysis: Russia, Turkey...
