MAGNIFICENT MERCOLA: Pfizer Whistleblower Sinks Vaccine Trial Integrity
Peggy Therese Napier
Story at-a-glance
According to a whistleblower who worked on Pfizer's Phase 3 COVID jab trial, data were falsified, patients were unblinded, the company hired poorly trained people to administer the injections, and follow-up on reported side effects lagged way behind
Brook Jackson was the regional director of Ventavia Research Group, a research organization charged with testing Pfizer's COVID jab at several sites in Texas. Jackson repeatedly "informed her superiors of poor laboratory management, patient safety concerns, and data integrity issues," and when her concerns were ignored, she finally filed a complaint with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
The FDA did not follow up on her complaint. Ventavia was not one of the nine trial locations audited, and Pfizer did not bring any of those issues up when applying for emergency use authorization for its COVID shot
Documentation shared by Jackson shows a Ventavia executive had identified three site staff members who had falsified data
After being notified of Jackson's complaints, Pfizer contracted Ventavia to conduct four additional trials — one for COVID shots in children and young adults, one for the COVID jab in pregnant women, a booster shot trial, and an RSV vaccine trial

Yet again, mainstream media have completely ignored what should have been front-page news. According to a whistleblower who worked on Pfizer's Phase 3 COVID jab trial in the fall of 2020, data were falsified, patients were unblinded, the company hired poorly trained people to administer the injections, and follow-up on reported side effects lagged way behind.
What makes the media's silence all the more remarkable is that this revelation was published in The British Medical Journal. Paul Thacker, investigative journalist for The BMJ, writes in his November 2, 2021, report:1
"Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company helping to carry out Pfizer's pivotal covid-19 vaccine trial raise questions about data integrity and regulatory oversight ...
"[F]or researchers who were testing Pfizer's vaccine at several sites in Texas during that autumn, speed may have come at the cost of data integrity and patient safety ... Staff who conducted quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were finding."
As noted by Bill Bruckner for transparimed.org:2
"Editors' widespread failure to pick up on the story is deeply problematic. First and foremost, it lets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration off the hook for what appear to be severe lapses in regulatory oversight over this trial ... Where are the media outlets questioning the FDA about its oversight processes? Where are the politicians calling for an enquiry? ...
"Second, it lets Pfizer off the hook for apparently failing to adequately oversee the operations of its subcontractor ... Where are the media outlets questioning Pfizer about its oversight and quality assurance processes? ...
"Third, it undermines confidence in democratic institutions and public health bodies because it gives citizens ... the impression that mainstream media are deliberately ignoring a big story in order to avoid fueling vaccine hesitancy."
So far, this story has been largely confined to the alternative news media. You'll find a selection of video reports covering the whistleblower's testimony in the sections below.
Research Organization Falsified Data in Pfizer Trial
Pfizer Data Scandal
Aseem Malhotra on YouTube
The whistleblower in question is Brook Jackson, a former regional director of Ventavia Research Group, a research organization charged with testing Pfizer's COVID jab at several sites in Texas.
Jackson repeatedly "informed her superiors of poor laboratory management, patient safety concerns and data integrity issues," Thacker writes, and when her concerns were ignored, she finally called the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and filed a complaint via email.
Jackson was fired later that day after just two weeks on the job. According to her separation letter, management decided she was "not a good fit" for the company after all. She has provided The BMJ with "dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings and emails" proving her concerns were valid. According to Jackson, this was the first time she'd ever been fired in her 20-year career as a clinical research coordinator. Thacker explains:3
"Jackson was a trained clinical trial auditor who previously held a director of operations position and came to Ventavia with more than 15 years' experience in clinical research coordination and management.
"Exasperated that Ventavia was not dealing with the problems, Jackson documented several matters late one night, taking photos on her mobile phone. One photo, provided to The BMJ, showed needles discarded in a plastic biohazard bag instead of a sharps container box.
"Another showed vaccine packaging materials with trial participants' identification numbers written on them left out in the open, potentially unblinding participants ... Jackson told The BMJ that drug assignment confirmation printouts were being left in participants' charts, accessible to blinded personnel ...
"In a recording of a meeting in late September 2020 between Jackson and two directors a Ventavia executive can be heard explaining that the company wasn't able to quantify the types and number of errors they were finding when examining the trial paperwork for quality control. 'In my mind, it's something new every day,' a Ventavia executive says. 'We know that it's significant.'
"Ventavia was not keeping up with data entry queries, shows an email sent by ICON, the contract research organization with which Pfizer partnered on the trial. ICON reminded Ventavia in a September 2020 email: 'The expectation for this study is that all queries are addressed within 24hrs.'
"ICON then highlighted over 100 outstanding queries older than three days in yellow. Examples included two individuals for which 'Subject has reported with Severe symptoms/reactions … Per protocol, subjects experiencing Grade 3 local reactions should be contacted. Please confirm if an UNPLANNED CONTACT was made and update the corresponding form as appropriate.'
"According to the trial protocol a telephone contact should have occurred 'to ascertain further details and determine whether a site visit is clinically indicated.' Documents show that problems had been going on for weeks.
"In a list of 'action items' circulated among Ventavia leaders in early August 2020, shortly after the trial began and before Jackson's hiring, a Ventavia executive identified three site staff members with whom to 'Go over e-diary issue/falsifying data, etc.' One of them was 'verbally counseled for changing data and not noting late entry,' a note indicates."
FDA Ignored Whistleblower Concerns
In her complaint to the FDA, Jackson listed a dozen incidents of concern, including the following:
Participants were not monitored by clinical staff after receiving the shot
Patients who experienced adverse effects were not promptly evaluated
Protocol deviations were not being reported
The Pfizer injection vials were stored at improper temperatures
Laboratory specimens were mislabeled
Not a single one of the problems Jackson raised in her complaint to the FDA were noted or addressed in Pfizer's briefing document submitted to the FDA's advisory committee meeting December 20, 2020, when its emergency use authorization application was reviewed.
The FDA went ahead, granting the Pfizer jab emergency use authorization the very next day, despite being in receipt of Jackson's complaint, which ought to have put the brakes on the FDA's authorization. At bare minimum, they should have investigated the matter before proceeding.
What's more, the FDA's summary of its inspections of the Pfizer trial, published in August 2021, revealed the agency only inspected nine of the 153 trial sites, and Ventavia was not one of them. The complaint also appears to have been ignored when the FDA granted full approval to Comirnaty, Pfizer/BioNTech's COVID shot that is not yet available.
Pfizer is also in on the cover-up. Shortly after Jackson's firing, Pfizer was notified of the problems she'd raised. Despite that, Pfizer has since then contracted Ventavia to conduct no less than four additional trials — one for COVID shots in children and young adults, one for the COVID jab in pregnant women, a booster shot trial, and an RSV vaccine trial.
So, clearly, Pfizer is not opposed to contractors falsifying data or otherwise undermining the integrity of the trials. That alone is a fiery indictment against Pfizer.
They can feign ignorance and proclaim to adhere to "the highest scientific, ethical and clinical standards"4 all they want. Those are just words which, unless backed by consistent action, are completely meaningless. Behind the scenes, they're clearly well-aware that their trials are resting on fraudulent foundations.
Pfizer Trial Described as a 'Crazy Mess'
"It's A Crazy Mess" Regional Director Blows The Whistle On Pfizer's Vaccine Trial Data Integrity
Sexton Blake on YouTube

Jackson wasn't the only employee to get sacked from Ventavia after raising concerns about the integrity of the Pfizer trial. Thacker writes:5
"In recent months Jackson has reconnected with several former Ventavia employees who all left or were fired from the company. One of them was one of the officials who had taken part in the late September meeting. In a text message sent in June the former official apologized, saying that 'everything that you complained about was spot on.'
"Two former Ventavia employees spoke to The BMJ anonymously for fear of reprisal and loss of job prospects in the tightly knit research community. Both confirmed broad aspects of Jackson's complaint.
"One said that she had worked on over four dozen clinical trials in her career, including many large trials, but had never experienced such a 'helter skelter' work environment as with Ventavia on Pfizer's trial. 'I've never had to do what they were asking me to do, ever,' she told The BMJ. 'It just seemed like something a little different from normal — the things that were allowed and expected' ...
"After Jackson left the company problems persisted at Ventavia, this employee said. In several cases Ventavia lacked enough employees to swab all trial participants who reported COVID-like symptoms, to test for infection. Laboratory confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 was the trial's primary endpoint, the employee noted.
"(An FDA review memorandum released in August this year states that across the full trial swabs were not taken from 477 people with suspected cases of symptomatic COVID-19.) 'I don't think it was good clean data,' the employee said of the data Ventavia generated for the Pfizer trial. 'It's a crazy mess.'"
Such statements clearly fly in the face of statements made by world leaders, health authorities and the mainstream media. Most, like federal health minister for Australia, Greg Hunt, have claimed the COVID shots have undergone "rigorous, independent testing" to ensure they're "safe, effective and manufactured to a high standard."6
Nothing we know so far supports such a conclusion. The testing has been far from rigorous and has not been independently verified.
Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) data show they're shockingly far from safe; real-world data show effectiveness wanes within a handful of months while leaving you more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 variants and other infections; and manufacturing standards have also been shown lacking, as a variety of foreign contaminants have been found in the vials.7
Media Are Manipulated by Pfizer
Propaganda from a pharmaceutical company. https://t.co/K4R9UA4W1R
— Dr. Joseph Mercola (@mercola) November 4, 2021
One of the reasons why English- and German-speaking legacy media have completely ignored this whistleblower testimony is probably because Pfizer has such a dominating influence over them. Thacker told blogger Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D.,8 "Pfizer has such a huge PR machine, they have basically captured the media, they've hypnotized the media."
Pfizer's PR department is also hard at work trying to hypnotize the public. The TV ad above is perhaps one of the most offensive. In it, Pfizer brainwashes young children into thinking that getting the COVID shot will make them superheroes. Never mind the fact that getting the shot could kill or permanently injure them.
You Cannot 'Follow the Science' if There Are No Data
The video at the top of this article is a short extract from a November 2, 2021, meeting organized by Sen. Ron Johnson, during which associate editor of The BMJ, Peter Doshi, Ph.D., reviewed some of the many concerns experts have about the integrity of the COVID jab data.
He points out that Pfizer's raw trial data will not be made available until May 2025. So far, Pfizer has refused to release any of its raw data to independent investigators and, without that, there's no possible way to confirm that what Pfizer is claiming is actually true and correct.
"Without data, it's not science. ~ Peter Doshi, Ph.D., associate editor of The British Medical Journal"
In other words, we're expected to simply take the word of a company that has earned a top spot on the list of white collar criminals; a company that in 2009 was fined a record-breaking $2.3 billion in fines for fraudulent marketing and health care fraud.9 Press releases are not science. They're marketing. Without the raw data, we have no science upon which to base our decisions about the COVID shot.
As noted by Dr. Robert Kaplan from Stanford's School of Medicine Clinical Excellence Research Centre, who also spoke at the meeting:
"The evidence we have comes from highly curated, industry-controlled press releases and journal publications. We are making big decisions based on limited, highly selected evidence. A compromised scientific process will lead to poor decisions, and it may set a bad precedent."
Doshi stresses how utterly unscientific a process we're now following. He also points out that doctors have an ethical duty to not recommend a treatment for which they have no data. Quoting from a 2020 article he co-wrote:10
"Data transparency is not a 'nice to have.' Claims made without access to the data — whether appearing in peer reviewed publications or in preprints without peer review — are not scientific claims.
"Products can be marketed without access to the data, but doctors and professional societies should publicly state that, without complete data transparency, they will refuse to endorse COVID-19 products as being based on science."
"The point I am trying to make is very simple," Doshi said. "The data from COVID vaccines are not available and won't be available for years. Yet, we are not just 'asking' but 'mandating' millions of people to take these vaccines ... Without data, it's not science."
Regulatory Agencies Are Designed to Fail
We've known the FDA is a captured agency for at least a decade. None of the issues we're now seeing are exactly new. We're now getting a close-up view of just how dangerous the incestuous relationship between the FDA and Big Pharma really is.
Americans are dying from COVID jab injuries at unprecedented record rates, and the FDA is completely ignoring it. Instead, it continues to push for more jabs, more injuries and more deaths. It's complicit in causing avoidable deaths rather than protecting public health. That's the price we're now paying for not cleaning up the agency and sealing the revolving door between regulators and industry earlier.
In "Designed to Fail: Why Regulatory Agencies Don't Work,"11 published in May 2012 — nearly a decade ago — William Sanjour discussed the failures of regulatory reform. He points out that the reason reforms don't work is because they keep reforming in the wrong direction:
"... as a result of the recent catastrophic failures of regulatory agencies, politicians and pundits are talking about the same old 'Regulatory Reform' again. 'Fill the regulatory agencies with honest people who won't cave in to special interests.' 'Give them more money, more authority and more people.'
"But my experience has shown that by concentrating all legislative, executive and judiciary authority in one regulatory agency just makes it easier for it to be corrupted by the industries it regulates.
"I worked for the U.S. Environmental Protection agency for 30 years and lived through many cycles of 'Regulatory Reform,' doing the same 'reforms' over and over again and expecting different results.
"I've learned that the way to achieve true regulatory reform is to give regulatory agencies less money, less authority, fewer people but more intelligent regulations. The theme of this article is that by dispersing regulatory authority, rather than concentrating it, we would make corruption more difficult and facilitate more sensible regulation."
Sanjour points out that regulators being captured by the parties they're supposed to regulate is far more dangerous than having no regulatory agencies at all, because "capture gives industry the power of government." Can there be any doubt that the FDA, as an agency captured by Big Pharma in general and Pfizer in particular, now wields power over the U.S. government?
"From my own experience with the U.S. EPA, even if an inspector finds a violation, this only triggers a lengthy complex process with many levels of warning, review, appeal, negotiation, and adjudication before any action is taken (or, more often, avoided)," Sanjour writes.12
"See the labyrinthine flow chart13 for an example of an agency enforcement procedure. It resembles a game of 'chutes and ladders.' Compare this with what happens when you park under a 'No Parking' sign. A policeman writes a ticket, and you can either pay the fine or tell it to the judge.
"If the EPA wrote the rules for parking violations, the officer would first have to determine if there were sufficient legal parking available at a reasonable cost and at a reasonable distance, and would then have to stand by the car and wait until the owner showed up so that he could negotiate a settlement agreement."
Regulatory Complexity Intentionally Hides Loopholes
Even more disturbing, Sanjour reveals that, when he was writing regulations for the EPA, he was "told on more than one occasion to make sure I put in enough loopholes. The purpose of the complexity is to hide the loopholes." Sanjour went on to explain:
"Regulatory agencies are created by Congress in order to control some powerful forces in society (usually corporations), which benefit society but which are also prone to abuse their power. The purpose of a regulatory agency is to allow the flow of benefits while straining out the abuse.
"In order to do this, Congress gives administrators of regulatory agencies broad discretionary power to write regulations for industries for which they are responsible. The flaw in the system is that the administrator is appointed by the president ... Thus any discretionary authority given to a regulatory agency administrator is, in fact, given to the president of the United States to be used as the president sees fit ...
"[R]egulatory agencies, by their very nature, can do little that doesn't adversely affect business, especially big and influential business, and this disturbs a president's repose.
"The EPA, for instance, cannot write regulations governing the petroleum industry without the oil companies going to the White House screaming 'energy crisis!' ... When the FDA wants to thoroughly evaluate a new drug, the pharmaceutical company lets loose a public relations barrage about how the bureaucratic delays are costing lives.
"Regulatory agency employees soon learn that drafting and implementing rules for big corporations means making enemies of powerful and influential people. They learn to be 'team players,' an ethic that permeates the entire agency without ever being transmitted through written or even oral instructions.
"People who like to get things done, who need to see concrete results for their efforts, don't last long. They don't necessarily get fired, but they don't advance either; their responsibilities are transferred to others, and they often leave the agency in disgust. The people who get ahead are those clever ones with a talent for procrastination, obfuscation, and coming up with superficially plausible reasons for accomplishing nothing."
How Do We Fix It?
The question staring us in the face now is, how do we fix these regulatory agencies so that they can operate for the benefit of the public rather than private for-profit interests?
"The reason salaried government regulators can be corrupted is that writing and enforcing effective regulations is not their No. 1 priority," Sanjour noted. "Their main objective is keeping their job and advancing their careers." Industries, meanwhile, believe that pressuring corrupt officials is the only way to protect their business. The answer, Sanjour suggests, is:
"… to remove discretionary judgment from the hands of the regulatory bureaucracy and place it in hands less susceptible to industry influence. The first thing I would suggest is to make use of people or institutions who have a vested interest in effective regulation as strong or stronger than the regulated community."
Sanjour cites research showing that, by far, whistleblowers — who risk their jobs by speaking out — are the No. 1 fraud detection group, responsible for 19% of frauds being brought to light. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, meanwhile, which exists to uncover corporate fraud, was responsible for just 7%.
So, one way we could improve the system is by issuing monetary rewards to corporate whistleblowers. "Monetary rewards for whistleblowers pay benefits far in excess of the cost when compared with hired regulatory bureaucrats," Sanjour notes. Insurance companies can also play an important role, as they are far less likely to overlook safety shortcuts that can result in disaster. An example given by Sanjour is the BP oil spill:
"BP has admitted, between 2005 and 2010, to breaking U.S. environmental and safety laws and committing outright fraud and paid $373 million in fines. Between June 2007 and February 2010, BP refineries in Texas and Ohio accounted for 97% of the 'egregious, willful' violations handed out by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Yet none of this resulted in any oversight of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that blew up ...
"If BP had been required to carry a $10 billion insurance policy for an oil spill, I'm sure the insurance company would not have allowed the penny-pinching short cuts that the paid regulators allowed. If the laws are written intelligently, insurance companies can be a significant instrument for regulation."
A third group that makes for a far better fraud detection system than federal regulators is the public. Organizations such as Citizens for Health and Environmental Justice teaches citizens how to get involved in the enforcement of regulations, and even more can be done in that regard.
For example, the EPA could sponsor civilian testing and equip citizens living in polluted areas with resources to conduct their own testing and report back if toxic exposures are found. Sanjour continues:14
"A second reform I would suggest for removing discretionary authority from the regulatory bureaucracy is to make the rules as simple as possible and to place all appellate functions and consent agreements into the hands of the law courts, just as in our traffic cop example.
"This could be judicial courts or administrative law courts. Anything to take the discretionary authority away from the people who write and enforce the rules and provide one more barrier to industry influence."
We Need to Return to the Constitution
To do any or all of that, we first need to reorganize our regulatory agencies in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. As explained by Sanjour, the U.S. has three branches of government: the legislative, executive and judicial branches. However, when regulatory agencies were formed, we diverted from this structure.
Regulations are a type of laws, and as such they should come from the legislative branch. But regulatory agencies are part of the executive branch. Judicial functions have also been usurped by regulatory agencies, and hence the executive branch.
"Thus, despite the wishes of the Founding Fathers, the executive branch now includes a great many regulatory agencies whose functions span all three branches of government. A large part of the corruption and inefficiency noted above flows from this fact," Sanjour notes.
While making changes such as those proposed by Sanjour sounds simple enough, the political pushback would be enormous, and would have to be broken through, somehow. Legally, however, it would be a reasonably simple affair.
All Congress would need to do is amend the law such that the agency administrator is stripped of its authority to write rules and implement the law. That authority would then be transferred to another agency, the administrator of which would be appointed by Congress, not the president.
"Note that these are all paper changes. They do not require any relocation, new buildings, new hires, etc. The functions all currently exist. They are merely rearranged," Sanjour says.
At present, we can no longer overlook the FDA's corruption. It's costing too many lives. They have completely abandoned any semblance of working for the public good. How we get rid of them and fix the problem will become an increasingly pressing question as we move forward.

Eleven Respected Physicians Take Experimental COVID Shots, Suffer Adverse Events, Ignored by CDC, FDA, HHS
Attorneys Aaron Siri and Elizabeth A. Brehm of Siri/Glimstad sent a very compelling letter to the CDC, the FDA, and the HHS containing the details from eleven physicians who suffered devastating and life-altering injuries from COVID injections. But unfortunately, the eye-opening declarations continue to be ignored by the agencies. Even after receiving this letter from their attorneys, the above agencies almost wholly ignored these eleven physicians. One has to wonder how many others not mentioned here have been abandoned by these governmental agencies that are supposed to be there to protect Americans.

Q: Ember serve: every port is in use When I specify no port or set the port explicitly, I always see:
ember serve --port 4207
Port 4207 is already in use.

It doesn't seem to matter which port I pick.
When I start with port 0 (let the cli pick an available port) it starts on on something around 30000~40000.
I am on a Mac. I just upgraded my ember-cli to 3.12.0
Also: If I start another ember app I have locally, it will run on port 4200. But then I stop it and start the above app and it won't start on that port.
What is wrong here?

A: portfinder, which is a subdependency of Ember CLI, released a new version 1.0.22 a few hours ago (August 17, 2019). That one breaks ember serve. You will see a port in use error for all ports.
If you are unsure which version of portfinder is used in your project, you could run yarn why portfinder or npm list | grep portfinder.
Update: portfinder@1.0.23 was released today (August, 19 2019). It rolls back to 1.0.21 and therefore fixes the issue. You should upgrade to that new release.
The following work-a-rounds are outdated by new release of portfinder.
There are two work-a-round known so far:
1. Downgrading portfinder to 1.0.21.
You could use yarn's resolutions feature to do so. Add this to your package.json:
"resolutions": {
  "ember-cli/portfinder": "1.0.21"
}

Don't forget to run yarn install afterwards.
If using npm, you could enforce installing dependencies released before today using the --before option: npm install --before 2019-08-16
2. Using ember serve --port 0
You could start ember serve with --port 0 argument. In that case portfinder picks up a random port. This seems to work. The port used is reported in terminal, e.g.

Build successful (1911ms) – Serving on http://localhost:18780/

The bug is reported here. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

Q: How to read a large file in chunks? I am trying to write a loop to iterate over a very large file, I am writing this script in a linux vm with 4GB of ram so I can't load the whole file at once I need to read it in chunks of 1024 bytes (correct me if wrong please)
I can think of two ways to do this although the second one gets killed by zsh
because the system simply runs out of ram
the first one keeps returning the same list of passwords
wordlist_handler = open('passwords.txt')

def read_wordlist(wordlist_handler):
    return wordlist_handler.read(1024)

def read_wordlist2(file='passwords.txt'):
    with open(file , 'r') as f:
        return list(f)

my goal is to iterate over the file similar to the first method
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # this will return a list of n passwords

    while True:
        lst = read_wordlist(wordlist_handler)

        # use lst in concurrent.futures

A: I have this but some of the passwords are 2 digits long
while True:
        x = load_chunks()
        print (len(x) , x )
        if len(x) <= 2 :
            break

The Human Stain – Philip Roth – Quotes
On January 12, 2016 April 10, 2020 By bookskepticIn Quotes
My first Roth…
I finished this book few months ago and still I'm not sure I'm ready to write its review. I liked the writing, characters, story, but it's not about that, this is the superficial layer. I think I'm still digesting the book in some way, it touched on so many topics, all forms of discrimination, how we all lie and build and control our image, how no one can ever fully know anyone else, how we don't know ourselves, how quick we are to judge and how we hate being judged, what is literature and what is the role of a writer, how our childhood forms us.
Still a lot of thinking to be done, but in the meantime I thought I'll share with you some of the quotes. Looking forward to see what you think, share in comments!
SPOILER ALERT – some of the quotes reveal the plot
When she's having guests on a Saturday evening, she sets the table Friday night at about five o'clock. It's there, every glass, every piece of silver. And then she throws a light gossamer thing over it so it won't get dust specks on it. Everything organized perfectly. And a fantastically good cook if you don't like any spices or salt or pepper. Or taste of any kind.
It was not a moment to allow himself to be subjugated by the all-but-pathological phenomenon of mother love.
Nor was he a radical or a revolutionary, not even intellectually or philosophically speaking, unless it is revolutionary to believe that disregarding prescriptive society's most restrictive demarcations and asserting independently a free personal choice that is well within the law was something other than a basic human right—unless it is revolutionary when you've come of age, to refuse to accept automatically the contract drawn up for your signature at birth.
Of course, she had the credentials. But to Coleman she embodied the sort of prestigious academic crap that the Athena students needed like a hole in the head but whose appeal to the faculty second-raters would prove irresistible.
Delphine Roux had misread his gaze by thinking, a bit melodramatically—one of the impediments to her adroitness, this impulse not merely to leap to the melodramatic conclusion but to succumb erotically to the melodramatic spell—that what he wanted was to tie her hands behind her back: what he wanted, for every possible reason, was not to have her around. And so he'd hired her. And thus they seriously began not to get on.
"Almost without exception, my dear"—again? why not?—"our students are abysmally ignorant. They've been incredibly badly educated. Their lives are intellectually barren. They arrive knowing nothing and most of them leave knowing nothing. Least of all do they know, when they show up in my class, how to read classical drama.
She didn't go home, and now she hates him. What does she hate most? That he really thinks his suffering is a big deal. He really thinks that what everybody thinks, what everybody says about him at Athena College, is so life-shattering. It's a lot of assholes not liking him—it's not a big deal. And for him this is the most horrible thing that ever happened? Well, it's not a big deal. Two kids suffocating and dying, that's a big deal. Having your stepfather put his fingers up your cunt, that's a big deal. Losing your job as you're about to retire isn't a big deal. That's what she hates about him—the privilegedness of his suffering.
"That's what comes of being hand-raised," said Faunia. "That's what comes of hanging around all his life with people like us. The human stain," she said, and without revulsion or contempt or condemnation. Not even with sadness. That's how it is—in her own dry way, that is all Faunia was telling the girl feeding the snake: we leave a stain, we leave a trail, we leave our imprint. Impurity, cruelty, abuse, error, excrement, semen—there's no other way to be here. Nothing to do with disobedience.
To regain her self-possession, to rescue her name, to forestall the disaster of ruining her career, she must continue to think. Thinking has been her whole life. What else has she been trained to do from the time she started school?
As for thinking, were she able to think like Einstein, thinking will not open these doors.
"Hello?" says the man at the other end. "Hello? Who is this?" She barely gets it out. The most irreducible two words in any language. One's name. Irreducible and irreplaceable. All that is her. Was her. And now the two most ridiculous words in the world.
The human desire for a beginning, a middle, and an end—and an end appropriate in magnitude to that beginning and middle—is realized nowhere so thoroughly as in the plays that Coleman taught at Athena College. But outside the classical tragedy of the fifth century B.C., the expectation of completion, let alone of a just and perfect consummation, is a foolish illusion for an adult to hold.
But the danger with hatred is, once you start in on it, you get a hundred times more than you bargained for. Once you start, you can't stop. I don't know anything harder to control than hating. Easier to kick drinking than to master hate. And that is saying something."

I haven't read this yet but it's in my TBR pile, If it's anything like 'The Plot Against America' I know what you mean about needing time to digest it. It was so powerful, and his rewrite of history so chillingly plausible, I couldn't stop thinking about it for months.

Ha! You just added 'The Plot Against America' to my TBR. I also read 'American Pastoral' and I needed a while to digest it too, but it was slightly easier, maybe because it's more in the past, so I don't personally know the situation. In 'Human Stain' the society where it happens is very familiar, it adds another layer.

Picture this: LeBron James and Steph Curry are NBA All-Star Game team captains.
For the first time, the midseason game won't pit the Eastern Conference vs. the Western Conference. Instead, James and Curry will assemble their squads like a playground pickup game. Except this player pool is the stuff of dreams.
Commissioner Adam Silver comes to the podium: "With the first pick in the All-Star draft, LeBron James picks..."
But it didn't happen that way. In an exclusive interview with CNNMoney, Silver explained why they held off.
In the age of reality TV, an All-Star draft led by its two biggest superstars seems perfect for prime-time. But the NBA held its first All-Star draft via a conference call.
"We made this major format change to the All-Star Game this year," Silver said. "Someone said, 'Should we televise it in the first year?' There was a sense from the players that 'Why don't we hold off on doing that. Let's see if the format works.'"
Silver said he understood that caution, despite his background as the former head of NBA Entertainment.
"I agreed, it could be very embarrassing even though they're all stars," he said. "Even among the greatest, to be the last picked among the greatest may be slightly embarrassing to some of the players."
He noted that the players had conflicting views, but hinted at future television plans for the draft. The All-Star Game airs on TNT, which like CNN is owned by Turner.
"I thought Steph Curry said it the best. He said, 'Let's see if we can get this format off the ground. And if it's working and then we'll have something else for people to look forward to next year. We'll have a televised draft,'" Silver said.
Making the draft public and embracing the spectacle would also play well on social media -- an area where the NBA has dominated over other leagues.
"It was a decision many years ago that we should embrace social media," he said. "Not just other leagues but other intellectual property holders took a different view, which was to create more of a so-called 'walled garden' and say that the only way you're going to get our content is through paying for it or coming through our particular site."
The NBA saw social media's potential as a marketing tool, according to Silver.
Early on, it worked with platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to get NBA highlights and content to those large audiences. The goal: increase reach and exposure.
Among the four biggest sports leagues, the NBA has the largest following across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.
The NBA also worked directly with players to help them build their online personalities.


I feel like, if I were to love many people, the last person husband or whomever would have only a small fragment of me. The online store you choose will generally request you to complete a kind to become their client. I couldn't figure out if the author was bitter and cynical or optimistic. Three quarters of the way through, I happen to flip to the back cover and read the author's profile. Books in the public domain might be shared easily since royalties are no longer spent for them. Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs to find a prince. Whether you want it to, however, is entirely your business.
Theprincess is encouraged to seek out true love, but in the process may have to endure some ugliness along the way. I've got a couple left to try, so maybe there's a good one among them. So I started in on the Cspan recordings. I know that this is perhaps a more realistic ending, but I don't read chick-lit for realistic endings! Although investors differ quite a bit at how they evaluate the top 10% of opportunities, I've found they are pretty consistent about figuring out if a company is in the top 10%. This morning everybody in the news was eulogising McCain, but I'd done that yesterday, and after maybe 15 minutes, I'd had enough. It was entertaining, funny in parts and the ending was sensible basically, fairytales arent real.
Like she never knew her real father because he supposedly ran away to be a clown, literally. There are free audio books offered by some libraries. But I dont think she should have supported the petshop industry as a solution for her loneliness. In the end, she is free to be herself, and she never gives up hope. Downloading the audio version of a novel is an incredibly approach to delight in a brand-new novel or to discover new things.
But I think what your mum is saying is that you have to get to know a lot of guys before you find the one you can love This. My personal opinion is though love cannot be forced, for love to work perfectly, everything has to fall into place on it's own. I felt for her, as she tried to find love in these pitiful men. If you are still stuck on the audio-book cassette tape format, a totally brand-new world awaits you. Some of my favorite passages: A kiss.
The main character is Jewish, and so I enjoyed reading about the types of This was my latest book to keep by the big bathtub for reading while taking a bubble bath. It's the same as seeing a butterfly and thinking it is pretty, but not wanting to capture it. Take the feedback, adjust, but keep pushing forward. Read more posts on Read the on. This is a woman who fell hard and fast for Keith—and many other people might have said: Online dating stinks, and I quit. There are several endings some rather x rated but the moral is to keep trying.
There's too much there; one just can't do it all. I had been around long enough to know not to spend the night falling in love with his potential, but not so long as to give up what potentially could be some night. Wood, Quote Page 6, Column 2, Marcellus, New York. And when the right one comes along, it will blossom into a relationship, and then you don't have to worry about wasting kisses on people who aren't right for you ;p Because it's not always obvious immediately. I found her whiny and depressing.
Registering for debate politics is necessary before posting. However, that said, I must confess that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. This book had potential that it never quite lived up to. One of them was an economist talking to another economist, but they forgot they had an audience that wasn't economists. There can be a moral here for home Buyers and Sellers as well.
We do get a little bit of information about her family. The issue with this, is that they do not have actually backup copies prepared in case of a virus or computer crash. She's so similar to the protagonist that I have to conclude that most of these stories are based on her own experiences. It also means kissing some frogs along the way. The guys that she dates, well, some of them are just unbelievable in the way they act.
I mean I still notice people who are aestetically beautiful or people who are beautiful on the inside, but I have no desire to be with them. Most people are excited going into a new relationship, because they think, Who knows? The stories were out of date with modern times and I just couldn't identify with Karrie Kline, a Jewish mid 40s single actress. In the dating world, this means not letting setbacks hold you back for long anyway! On the bright side, the sooner you can weed through the unqualified leads, the sooner you can get to the hot leads. I thought like you did, Moonfairy, for the longest time. I also feel like, once you share yourself with someone, you end up giving them a piece of yourself. There were all kinds of men and all kinds of marriages, which often led to all kinds of divorces. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party.
Do you really have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince?
I found it to be very poignant and at the same time humorous. She was totally surprised by the turnabout, and was pretty bummed about it over the weekend as you can imagine. Character did show some growth which was good. Perhaps these versions are meant to emphasize the repulsiveness of the amphibious creature. I find the love stories where couples meet when they are young and grow old together to be so endearing, and I want that in my own life. To view it, This book was just ok. When companies are ready to buy, your product or service is front and center.

Jablje Castle (), also known as Jable Castle (), Habah Castle (), or Habach Castle (, ), is a castle above the settlement of Loka pri Mengšu, Slovenia. It is located on the western edge of the Mengeš Plain.

History
The original castle at Jablje was first mentioned in 1268, while the current structure was built by the noble house of Lamberg around 1530. The castle subsequently passed through the hands of the Rasp family, the barons Mosconi, and was from 1780 until the end of World War II owned by the barons Lichtenberg. Though it survived the war largely intact, the castle was nationalized and thoroughly looted during the following years, being first converted into apartments and then serving as an experimental facility of the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana.

After a thorough renovation carried out between 1999 and 2006, the castle was a major protocolary site during the 2008 Slovene presidency of the EU. Today it hosts the so-called Center for European Perspective (Center za evropsko prihodnost or CEP; literally, 'Center for a European Future') and is listed as a cultural monument. Its greatest asset is a set of frescoes by the baroque painter Franc Jelovšek, including an unusual depiction of a camel-riding Chinese tambourine player.

The castle is open for visitors every other Saturday at 11:00, with appointments available for groups.

Name
The castle was first attested in German as Hagbach and Hagwach (both in the 1320s), and then as Hawach (in 1348) and Habach (in 1435). The German name refers to a creek overgrown with bushes. The Slovene name was cited by Johann Weikhard von Valvasor in the 17th century as Ablah. Older theories explain the Slovene name Jablje as derived from German Habach (deriving this from the common noun Habicht 'northern goshawk' (Accipiter gentilis), a species said to be common in the area). More recent explanations reject this, stating that the name arose independently in Slovene, originally as Jable (and then through hypercorrection to Jablje) based on the root jabel 'apple tree'.

As part of the nation's 100 years celebrations, there will be a Miss Centenary Nigeria Beauty Pageant and Fashion show staged in Abuja before the end of the year.
The show is being organised for young women between 18 and 25 years of age as a unifying tool in the country.
National Coordinator, Mr. Kolade Oludare, Miss Centenary Beauty Pageant and Fashion Show, disclosed this to reporters at a press conference in Abuja.
He said the beauty pageant is not a bikini show but one that will showcase Nigeria's culture as it marks its 100 years of existence.
Miss Centenary Pageant project was unveiled as part of activities to mark the country's 100 years of existence.
Oludare said that the project would further strengthen the cultural, ethnic and religious background of the people.
His words: "The show will be a strong foundation that is deeply rooted in the national unity and peaceful coexistence of the country, thereby acting as a unifying tool.''
He said that Miss Centenary Nigeria was to promote the beautiful culture of the country and the different ways of dressing, while also promoting the peaceful coexistence of the nation.

"The Nigerian woman is a key player in the sustainability of the unity and development that the country has enjoyed in the last 100 years, " he added.
Oludare said that the woman, who emerges as the centenary queen would have the opportunity to project "a great, vibrant and progressive nation that is ready to be a world leader''.
The "no-bikini'' event is billed for December 14, in Abuja ahead of the January 2014 Centenary event.
The winner of the pageant is expected to participate fully in the general celebrations to showcase how the Nigerian womanhood has evolved in culture and tradition in the last 100 years.
According to him, the pageant will parade Nigerian designers and fabrics to showcase the decency that Nigeria is known for.
He said that the programme would be aired live on television.
He explained that the winner of the pageant would go home with a Nigerian assembled SUV car to promote made in Nigeria brand alongside cash and other prizes.
According to Oludare, the ultimate goal of the event is to contribute toward peace building, irrespective of ethno-religious diversities.
Activities for the pageant will include talent hunt, cooking competition of Nigerian dishes, workshops, debates on issues of national development and fashion competition.

Compulsory basic training (CBT) was introduced in 1990 to help reduce the very high accident rate among inexperienced motorcyclists. CBT must be completed before a learner moped or motorcycle rider is allowed to ride on the road with L-plates or D-plates in Wales.
The five elements have to be completed in sequence, although the order of the exercises within the element can be varied. You will move on to the next element when your instructor is satisfied you have learnt the necessary theory and demonstrated the practical skills to a safe basic level.
Trainees must, by law, receive a minimum two hour on-road ride in Element E.
We provide our learner drivers with the right conditions to receive good, sound training in all categories. Our friendly riding instructors have many years of professional experience. This makes learning with us particularly straight forward and helps us offer you excellent support on your way to obtaining your driving licence.
We provide long-term guidance during the preparation phase and are happy to answer any questions you may have. There's no need to feel under any pressure, taking away any need to worry before taking your tests. You can also receive information directly from our riding school.

this pretty much. had i cared about the prestigious gladiator title, i would have done what bonerjams did in s11 and sit my 3dps team from march-august. I didn't care enough and wanted to play with friends so i left.
cutoff was 2446, i was 2452. but yeah, i'd assume somebody who takes the game as serious as you do nasty would be the first to insult "zero glad" players. although you're probably still in high school so i'll cut you some slack.
- you clearly are a troll, because you don't play video games.

A student's joke about using the class 3D printer to build her a new finger became reality.
A student struggling with the loss of her right index finger has gained the ability to do the things she loves once again thanks to 3D-printing technology. AC Lingerfelt was worried she'd never be able to throw a softball or play the piano again, but thanks to a 3D-printed finger made for her by her teachers and friends, she can do both of those activities and more.
Watch the video above to learn more about how Lingerfelt's life improved with her new artificial finger.

I have to connect to the server via the 11.2 client.
When I type in cmd:

*

*sqlplus, then

*username, then

*password

I get ORA-12560 and after 3 attempts I get disconnected.
but if I type the following:
sqplplus username/password@xe

I get connected without any further objection from Oracle.
Have you had similar experience? Do you have an idea why this behavior is exhibited?

A:
ORA-12560

ORA-12560 is TNS Protocol adapter error which happens if the TNS listener service is incorrectly configured or not running. When you type sqlplus and enter only the username & password, Oracle assumes the default TNS name of orcl which is not configured in your system.
When you type in
sqplplus username/password@xe

you're explicitly giving the TNS name as xe which is then resolved by looking up the tnsnames.ora file in %oracle_home%\network\admin directory and then connects to that instance of the database
