This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Ruby Cairo''''', also known as '''''Deception''''', is a 1992 [[drama thriller film]] directed by [[Graeme Clifford]]. It stars [[Andie MacDowell]], [[Liam Neeson]] and [[Viggo Mortensen]].
One scene features [[Aleister Crowley]]'s ''[[The Book of the Law]]''.

==Plot==
When Bessie Faro's husband Johnny dies in a plane crash in [[Veracruz]], [[Mexico]], she finds that his air cargo business is deeply in the red. When she visits the airline's terminal in [[Veracruz (city)|Veracruz]], she finds a packet of [[baseball card]]s that have been marked up by Johnny. Recognizing his system for marking [[Parimutuel betting|betting slips]] at [[race track]]s, she decodes the cards and realizes that they indicate a bank account. When she tries to withdraw money from the account, she is denied. She realizes that the account is in the name of the player on the card, [[Onix Concepción]].

Back home, Bessie uses an International bank directory at the local library to decode [[Manny Sanguillén]]'s [[Pittsburgh Pirates]]' card to find another bank account in [[Panama]]. She obtains [[Power of attorney#Durable power of attorney|durable power of attorney]] and begins a whirlwind trek to recover her husband's money. After [[Panama]], she visits the [[Bahamas]] and the [[Cayman Islands]], recovering tens of thousands of dollars from each account. In [[Germany]], she closes [[Don Mueller]]'s account from [[Cash Group|Berliner Bank]], but the cashier hands her only 750 [[Deutsche Mark|DM]]. He explains that 74,000DM worth of [[cashier's check]]s have been paid out to a company called EDK Technik in the former East Berlin. At EDK Technik, a manager informs Bessie that they make ink for ball point pens.

Bessie leaves the office confused as to why Johnny would be buying so much ink. The manager waits for her to leave and then ushers in some men who have been following Bessie on her journey. Her next stop is Athens, where she finds out that Johnny's account has already been closed. The teller takes Bessie to a [[safe deposit box]] which only contains a [[Bill Mazeroski]] card. Bessie's growing suspicion that Johnny is alive is confirmed by the sight of the card. When the teller sees how distraught Bessie is, she confides in her that a local shipping company cashed out some of Johnny's money and that the rest was wired to [[Cairo]].

She visits Kolatos Shipping Company and finds that one of their boats is headed to [[Cairo]] with grain for a food aid effort. She rides with the cargo to [[Egypt]], and notices that one of the dock workers is being stained green by a bag of grain. She sneaks onto the truck where he loaded the bag, opens it, and finds, hidden beneath the grain, containers of [[thionyl chloride]] manufactured by EDK Technik.

Bessie soon befriends the coordinator of the relief effort, Fergus Lamb. She explains what she found in the bag, and Fergus confronts his Operations Manager, who reveals that he allowed the smuggling to finance the grain shipments. Fergus is irate because he knows that the thionyl chloride is being used to manufacture [[chemical weapon]]s.

Fergus and Bessie quickly fall in love, but she continues her journey, now intent on actually finding Johnny. A local Immigration Agent teams up with Bessie and helps her find Johnny. He admits to Bessie that he had been skimming from the chemical weapons traders, which is why he had to disappear. When Bessie leaves, Johnny runs after her and tries to make her stay with him, holding her at gunpoint in a crowded square. The men who have been following Bessie throughout the film now have Johnny in sight, and they immediately kill him.

The film ends with Bessie happily back at home with her family, just as Fergus arrives to reunite with her.
