John McGuire was born and raised in Henrico County. As a child, John spent time in foster care, where he attended nine different elementary schools. His grandparents rescued him and his older sister from the foster care system and years later, John graduated from Henrico High School in 1988.
After graduation, John's call to service lead him to the U.S. Navy. After ten years of service as a Navy SEAL, he settled back down in Virginia. There in his hometown of Henrico, John founded a small business, SEAL Team PT Inc., a fitness company dedicated to helping teams and individuals become stronger, healthier, and more confident. 19 years later, that company helps train Division 1 athletes and corporations all over the world. In addition to running a successful business, John has been brought in by groups as a motivational speaker. In his speeches, he shares what he is most passionate about, the principles of teamwork and leadership.
John's believes one of the biggest keys to success in life, no matter what you do, is teamwork. As a member of the Virginia General Assembly, John's focus is on good policy, not politics. Whether it's fighting for better services for our veterans, law enforcement, and first responders, tackling the Heroin/Opioid epidemic, or making sure our tax dollars are being used efficiently, John knows that by listening to each other and working together, we can create a brighter future for our Commonwealth. As a husband and father of five, he knows the importance of building a true partnership between our families, our communities and our state government.
John and his wife Tracy live in Henrico County.
As a local small business owner for the last 18 years, John understands the obstacles holding businesses back in our area. John wants to help businesses grow, create jobs, and invest in our communities by cutting taxes and removing regulatory hurdles.
As a local small business owner for the last 18 years, John understands the obstacles holding businesses back in our area. John wants to help businesses grow, create jobs, and invest in our communities by cutting taxes and removing regulatory hurdles. Virginia's economic growth rate has trailed the national average for five straight years. We must act and support economic development by reducing burdens on our hardworking taxpayers. As your Delegate, John will oppose any measure to increase personal and business taxes.
As a former Navy SEAL and father of five, John knows exactly what it takes to keep our homes and families safe. John will fight the online exploitation of children and fight the growing threat of gangs on our streets. John will work tirelessly to prevent substance abuse disorders and help those in recovery to get back on their feet.
As a father of five, John understands our children are our most valuable resource. John understands now is the time to prepare our students for the jobs of the 21st Century. We must fix the one-size-fits-all education system that has failed, and embrace a diverse range of school choice options that allow the student and their parents to choose the education that best fits their needs.
John wants to cut burdensome regulations that limit competition, inflate health care costs, and reduces access to health care providers – particularly in rural areas like Louisa and Goochland. John is committed to overhauling our current health care regulatory system so that patient's wellbeing will be our top priority.
As your Delegate, John will advocate for all first responders. Police, firefighters, and EMTs work tirelessly, and often thanklessly, to ensure our safety. We need to equip our public stewards with the tools and resources they need to keep us safe. John will work with our local communities to provide the compensation and benefits our First Responders and Law Enforcement deserve.
As a former Navy SEAL, no one will fight harder for our veterans and their families than John. The Commonwealth of Virginia currently taxes retired veterans' retirement benefits while neighboring states like North Carolina do not. We are losing valuable and skilled members of our communities to North Carolina because of their favorable tax structure. John believes in removing the tax burden on our veterans. John will work to ensure Veterans and their families receive their earned benefits and will work with our local business leaders to create job opportunities for our returning veterans.
As your Delegate, John will advocate for broadband expansion throughout the 56th District. John understands we must promote infrastructure modernization to enhance our students learning experiences, help existing businesses grow, attract new business, and increase jobs in our district.
John has spoken with voters throughout the district on the opioid crisis. He has met families who have experienced unimaginable loss. Opioid addiction has spread through the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, including the 56th District. As your next delegate, John will support legislation to combat the opioid crisis that is negatively impacting our communities.

Student screenwriters tackle bullying in 'Like Us,' premiering at Golden Door International Film Festival
Updated: Sep. 17, 2019, 11:59 a.m. | Published: Sep. 17, 2019, 9:47 a.m.
"Like Us" will premiere Saturday at the Golden Door International Film Festival.
By Teri West | The Jersey Journal
Holloway Cunningham had known for a little while that she'd like to become a professional actress. But after filming a starring role in a school production this year, the 11-year-old said now she's even more firm in that dream.
Cunningham is one of 72 students from The Ethical Community Charter School who created the original feature film "Like Us" over the course of a year. The production was a new endeavor for an extracurricular arts program a group of parent volunteers manage, and the 45-minute film will premiere Saturday evening at Jersey City's Golden Door International Film Festival.
Like Us chronicles five students, each who face taunts and ridicules from their peers, as they compete on a team for an interdisciplinary competition.
The Jersey City charter school's Family School Association runs a performing arts program for students each semester, often producing plays and dances. With student requests for something different, the parent volunteers decided to try a film. They brought on Kris Van Nest, founder of Jersey City's educational media company THISLEARNING, as the director and casting agent Meghan Rafferty to guide and conduct auditions.
The student script writers decided to focus on the issue of bullying because of its prominence and the values of their school, said members of the 10-student screenwriting team. The Ethical Community Charter School, which harbors a safe and justice-oriented culture, has an anti-bullying program and weekly ethics classes, but not every school has that, said screenwriter Abigail Wallace Burch.
"I haven't seen any bullying in our school so I think that it is succeeding, at least to my knowledge, but I think that as a school we are better than some other schools who might have a lot of bullying," she said. "That's why it's a good idea for our school to just point it out that maybe it's not happening here, but it's happening everywhere."
The student screenwriters split up into pairs of two to create the five main characters. The result was children with an array of life experiences and challenges, such as homelessness, parental loss and nonbinary gender identity.
Arko Arditya said he based the character he developed, Fatin, partially on experiences at his previous school, where he said he was bullied. Fatin is adept at the rubik's cube and the writers said he has a disability that they wanted to leave open ended for viewer interpretation.
"I thought I was the only one in the writer's room that was bullied," Arko said. "I learned that more people know about bullying like me."
The filming, which took place entirely in Jersey City, was exhausting, the actors said. Long hours of rehearsals led to long hours of taping. Van Nest said he pulled from previous experiences as a teacher and as a filmmaker to make it work.
He asked the actors to think about each line and then only perform it once they had felt it out, Van Nest said.
"That gave them the time … to let their lines develop from within and then the freedom to share them when they felt they were ready," he wrote in an email. "The combination of time and freedom allows the words to become more organic and unfold on the screen in a more natural way, while also reducing the perceived stress of doing a particular line a certain way because, in the end, I feel there isn't really a right or wrong way to say the lines, only their way."
Both he and the actors expressed an overwhelming sense of relief that the project is over. But the students left it eager to do something similar again.
"I always liked acting, but never knew I wanted to pursue it until this project," said Leo Frohwirth, who plays aspiring comedian Trevor.
Local eateries are partnering with the Family School Association's performing arts program to promote the film and give back to the homeless community. The first promotion begins Thursday at Jersey City's Cafe Peanut, which created an original "Like Us" sandwich and will donate one for every sandwich bought to a local homeless shelter.
Like Us isn't going to end bullying, said screenwriter Tala Issa. But maybe it will inspire some student viewers to change their behavior, she said.
It takes courage to tell stories about something as challenging as bullying, said Ashleigh Cromer, executive director of Be Strong, a nationwide initiative to support victims of bullying.
"We have to listen to our youth, and our youth have told us what's the most important issue to them," she said. "They're telling us there's not enough being done."

Hello my mum is in her 60's and has just been diagnosed with ALL. She went into hospital in January with sever anemia with very low bloods across the board. They gave her two pints of blood but decided that they did not need to do a biopsy. They monitored her with blood tests every week and on the forth week called her back to the hospital. After testing it was confirmed ALL pre curser B Cell type. Her bone marrow Is 90% leukaemia cells which sounds terrible but I don't no what to compare it to.? She has had another two pints of blood and steroids and if her echo gram is okay will start intensive therapy this week and they seem to think she might be eligible for transplant later. But I can't seem to find an article that gives her anymore than a tiny chance of survival I am so scared is there any chance she will recover does anyone here no of anyone in the older group to do well please.
Glad you found the ALL forum ok.
I had T cell ALL which is less common than the B cell type your mother had. I was 42 when I was diagnosed so a fair bit younger but the fact your mother is over 60 shouldn't stop her responding to treatment.
The vlood transfusions are quite normal and should make her feel a lot better as anemia really isn't pleasant. She will have more transfusions during the treatment to keep her haemoglobin counts at a good level (red blood cells). Also steroids are a normal way to start treatment as they help destroy the white blood cells. I had an intensive 7 day course before I started chemo.
i can toatally understand your worry when you here figures of 90% white blood cells talked about.. mine were at 95% at the start. This is the leukaemia. In basic terms the white blood cells multiply to fast, don't mature and live too long. So basically over a number of weeks the white blood cells crowd out the red blood cells and other cells.
With regards to not finding any positive stories it is probably because in your mother's age range there aren't many people diagnosed in the first place.. it mainly affects children and the over 75s. Even if you do find any statistics they will be form people who had treatment probably at least a decade ago if no much longer as they will be long term survival rates. The treatment has come on leaps and bounds and stem cell transplants (modern day version of bone marrow transplants) are now quite commonplace.
There is a forum for stem cell transplants which is very active and there are a couple of people in there who have experienced ALL and then a stem cell transplant.
also speak to your mothers CNS (clinical nurse specialist) at he hospital where she is being treated as they will have lots of information to help you understsnd the treatment. Where is your mother being treated?
Also feel free to give the Macmillan helpline number a call. The number is below in my signature. They can offer a lot of support both emotional and practical and there are nurses you can speak to in order to ask questions.
I do not have ALL but a rare type of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, I was actually diagnosed way back in 1999 when I was 44 and yes I am still around and doing well. The main reason I am still alive is due to Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) - also often known as a Bone Marrow Transplant.
I can't give you any help with regards to the technicalities and prognosis of your mum's ALL but I see that you have put a post to Caroline or Macmillan Heamatology Nurse so I am sure she will get back to you but it will take a few days.
As for SCT, I have been through two using Stem Cells From my brother, I was 58 and 59 when I had them and often talk with folks much older who have been through the life changing and saving process. Yes, it was hard work but do-able and with out ti I would not be talking with you today.
Searching for articles that give you clear and trust worthy information is like looking for that needle in a haystack. Blood cancers, regardless of the type are very individual and will require an individual approach to treatment so the very best people to give you all the information you need is her team. Get a list of questions ready for each appointment or meeting and ask them so you can understand the plan they have for her.
If she does end up going down the SCT route that will be well down the road as she needs to be medically in a position to be able to go through the SCT. So you do need to concentrate on the now and the first few steps along this road.
We do have a SCT Forum where folks support each other on this journey. This is a link to The SCT Forum. you can have a look round and if you think we can help, join the SCT Forum then hit the 'Start a Discussion' tab and introduce yourself. To help you keep in contact for each of the forums you join make sure you go to the right and select how you want to receive email notifications.
For some encouragement follow this link to a thread about successful SCT Stories.
We are always around to help out.
Hi again Feets, the great reply from Paul1969 reminded me that I did a life after cancer course a few years back and there was a man who had ALL and also had been through a SCT.
He was 64 at the time he was diagnosed and 65 when he had his SCT - the SCT was actually done on his 65th birthday and he said that it was the best 65th birthday gift he could ever ask for.......and he is doing great.
Hello Paul1969 and Thehighlander Thank you for your replies i did get to speak to mums Doctor on Monday this week and I took the details for the Nurse in charge of her care but I didn't want to bother him as i imagine he is very busy.
My mum said he was great though. He took the time to make her feel better and explain everything the doctor had said after her first visit, I think the consultant had frightened my mum greatly, he even brought a patient with a different but similar blood condition to meet my mum so that she could see not to give up hope.
Any way last night she was take to isolation so we were all preparing for the horror of chemo side effects... and then today My Dads calls and tells me that the consultant has just been and said that Mum has Philadelphia Negative ALL apparently this is great news and she can go home tomorrow with lots of tablets and i think 1 day a month intravenous. when i see my mum today she is like a new woman hair even in pigtails full of the joys of spring.
I am pleased of course delighted but i don't understand even more now as i missed the consultant today she says she wont need bone marrow transplant and the steroids are having a good effect but what? induction can be done via tablets?? that don't seem right or is she under estimating the side effects the pills will cause. yesterday they are saying she may have 18 months and today its all better. well, not but you see what i mean.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement hopefully i will be able to offer the same positive sentiments to someone else's loved one soon. I am definitely off to give blood next time they visit town. Its such a small thing that means so much to so many and i am a universal donor so i know it will be of use to someone.
being Philadelphia negative is good news.
i have to say that I don't really understand the treatment they are going to give as it is totally different to anything I have heard of for ALL which usually consists of at least 3 rounds of chemo with the chemo being given at least 2-3 times a week IV and intrathecal chemo.. I used to need blood products at least weekly as well.
The chemo knocks out the immune system each time which means some long stays in hospital. It is possible they may attempt some of this with your Mum as an outpatient but IV treatment just once a month just doesn't sound like treatment for ALL.
During the first week of my treatment I just had steroids and then went onto chemo twice weekly for the next 4 weeks followed by another two rounds of chemo. I didn't have the Philadelphia mutation either.
Perhaps it would be worth you speaking to the Ckinical nurse specialist to understand what the treatment will entail. ( they wont be too busy to Talk) in case the proposed treatment has been misunderstood . Which hospital is your Mum getting treated at?
Good morning DX and some good news in your post this morning and this all helps turn the noise down in the brain.
With 100 varieties of blood cancers, the differences in treatment is massive so getting clear info from the experts is so important.
Totally agree with Paul, never think that the contact Specialist Nurse is so busy that you can not call them.
They are the people who put everything into a language that you will understand - so call them.
Doing this with a list of questions down on paper will ensure that you have a clear understanding and that your mum had picked up everything correctly.
Thank you I think I will contact them.
Hi, I thought I would join your discussion as I am a 58year old female who was diagnosed with ALL pre curser B Cell on 30th July 2018. After having 7 days of tests etc I had the aggressive chemo for six weeks which got me into remission. After 9 days at home I returned for further chemo treatment and left hospital after 6weeks and 2 days. I then have had two bouts of chemo and have still kept in remission. I have had good days and bad days but nothing that I couldnt handle. The doctors and nurses have all sorts of medications to stop the sickness etc. I have had my pic line removed today and a Hickman line inserted, so a bit sore at the moment. Tomorrow I will be admitted to St James Hospital, Leeds to start my Anonymous donor stem cell treatment. I will let you know how I go on. I see it as the light at the end of the tunnel. Good Luck to you and your mum, I hope that everything goes well for her.
Hi Shellyy I am glad to hear things are going well for you it has been a while since I logged on I don't seem to get notifications from this site when people comment? Anyway you must be on your marrow recovery journey by now I hope it goes as well as it can do... my mum has gone down the UKALL 60 treatment path which is pretty much all outpatient based... although you do still spend most of your time back and forth she is just coming to the end of her first round of treatment she has had chemo and a number of them straight into the spine to protect the CNS... the specialist has said there is no cure as such for people my mums age but the aim to get into remission and stay there as long as possible... my mum has a phillidelphia mutation which I believe means it can be managed this way for a number of years if she is lucky but it's still so difficult for me to accept that she will never be cured... it's just seems so unfair.
Thank you for sharing your journey I really do appreciate it .
you were right mum has had chemo twice a week and a number of these go straight into the spine to protect the CNS but it think the dose is lower so it is managed as an out patient although you do go to hospital three times a week... my mum does have the phillidelphia mutation which used to be a bad thing but it is not anymore they have targeted drugs for that now... the nurse in charge of her care kindly emailed me some information.
people my mums age have had longer better quality lives this way. I believe this is because the mortality rates on the aggressive chemo are high due to the toxicity of the treatment itself.
I also feel the need to explain my frequent errors in my post's I am ADHD and sometimes the eagerness of trying to get information out I forget to check it before hitting the post button this also makes it difficult for me to Remember what exactly what was said sorry if I confused you .

In a small business debt consolidation loan, all of your existing small business debt to all your various lenders is consolidated into a single loan owed to a single lender.
There are two primary reasons why small business owners consolidate their debt into a single loan: to pay a lower monthly payment and to extend their repayment period.
Under a small business debt consolidation loan you make a single monthly payment to this new consolidated lender which is significantly smaller than the cumulative payments you previously had been making to each individual lender. That translates to more money in your pocket at the end of each month to reinvest in your small business.
The other benefit of small business debt consolidation, extending your repayment period, can be a lifesaver when the term on your small business debt is expiring and you have a balance due that you can't afford. Rather than face imminent penalties, not to mention damage to your small business credit rating, extending the repayment period is a welcome reprieve.
There is however a trade-off to consolidating small business debt this way. By extending the length of time you have to pay back your consolidated small business loan, you tack more months onto your repayment schedule, which means more monthly payment. So the savings and freedom from default that a small business debt consolidation loan gives you now comes back in a larger cumulative total amount that you pay for the loan over the long-term.
Still, if you're strapped and struggling now, then you'll want to do what it takes to make sure you even have a small business still operating in the long-term. Of course if you have the ability to meet your current small business debt payment agreements and you only have a few years left before your loans are paid off, you may want to rethink applying for a consolidated loan just to have more money in your pocket now. Just think carefully about the debt you'll be incurring down the line for the few dollars you might save in the short term. If you can afford to avoid small business debt consolidation, then you may want to give serious consideration to the reality that it may be in your best interest to do so.
The wisest business move you'll ever make could be to avoid getting into small business dept in the first place. One of business icon Warren Buffet's "10 Ways to Get Rich" is to limit how much small business debt you take on in the first place. He warns that operating your business with borrowed money won't make anyone rich. Mr. Buffett did not build his empire borrowed funds. On the contrary he avoided borrowing money at all costs. He has been known to point out that many people have written him very emotional letters over the years with heartbreaking stories of small business debt disasters that they had gotten themselves into by thinking that they could manage it. Better, Warren says, not to put yourself in the position of having to manage small business debt in the first place.
If it's come to this point for you with your small business debt as well, then it may be time to avail yourself of a small business debt consolidation loan—it could be the one business move you make today that saves your small business for a brighter tomorrow.


Fifty-five pounds. That's the weight limit that the FAA proposes for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) small systems – the type of drone that many journalists would like to use in news reporting. Drones can weigh as little as three pounds, though, and cost as little as $80. Some look like model airplanes. Others resemble the stuff of old science fiction movies, with spider-like arms and flashing lights. They can be purchased online – ready to fly – or as kits, ready for home assembly.
With such a low barrier to the friendly skies, you could have your own drone – but should you? With a legal battle brewing between the FAA and a consortium of fifteen major news outlets earlier this week, times are about to get interesting for media watchers.
How did we come to be standing on the brink of this argument, and what exactly is at stake?
Journalists the world over are finding the devices to be extremely helpful for their work. Using drones, they can now capture information and images that were previously almost impossible to get due to cost or time constraints. One commonly cited reason is the cost of news helicopters and crews; many small outlets simply can't afford them. Crowded cityscapes either prevent the use of manned aircraft for newsgathering, or make it highly risky for air crew and bystanders. Teams have used drones to gather images and evidence of environmental disasters that are unsafe for human teams to gather, and at considerably less expense. Drone footage allows a perspective that is often not possible.
On the down-side, many observers are concerned about the potential for violations of personal privacy and safety. Aside from these are even more delicate concerns about how people feel about drones hovering above them, and about how their presence will affect birds and other wildlife. Some fear also that ready access to drone images may change journalism–and not for the better. Will journalists adopt a "hands-off" attitude? Will news consumers feel confident that stories gathered principally by drone are fully researched?
In anticipation of these and other problems, and to "research the ethical, legal and regulatory issues involved in using pilotless aircraft to do journalism" Professor Matt Waite at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln created the Drone Journalism Lab. Waite's lab has made progress in learning about regulatory issues, although "progress" may not be their term of choice. In August 2013, the Drone Journalism Lab and the Missouri Drone Journalism Program received letters from the FAA requesting that they suspend all outdoor drone activity until they received a COA (Certificate of Authorization).
On Tuesday this week, the FAA announced a ban on the use of drones by media organizations. This move sparked the filing of an amicus brief by fifteen major news organizations, including The Washington Post and the New York Times, in support of drone pilot Raphael Pirker, who was fined $10,000 for using a drone to take aerial footage for a commercial. Pirker succesfully filed an appeal to the National Transportation Safety Board, which the FAA has appealed. The FAA has also sent warning letters to news agencies known to have used drones, even encouraging one publication not to use footage gathered of a burning building by a drone.
At issue, in part, is the FAA's definition of newsgathering as a commercial pursuit. The media agencies participating in the brief claim that newsgathering is a first amendment right rather than a commercial activity, and therefore deserves greater protection than activities of those engaged in commercial and hobby pursuits.
There's no denying that the move to use drones for newsgathering has legs. Already, the Professional Society of Drone Journalists has created a hierarchy of ethics and a blog for developers. In anticipation of the day when drones are as much a part of a reporter's tool kit as a smart phone and a laptop, members are signing up. The FAA has given itself until September of 2015 to determine who can fly drones, and under what conditions. Until then, journalist-researchers such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Waite and graduate researcher Ben Kreimer are testing devices indoors and in other countries. Kreimer's footage of Kenyan preserve Ol Pejeta can be seen here.
It gives the rest of us time to consider what we think of drones – and how we will embrace them, or oppose them.

Adoniram Judson Arrives in Rangoon, 1813
LandmarkEvents2017-07-10T15:18:07-05:00July 10, 2017|HH 2017|
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." —Romans 8:28
Adoniram Judson Arrives in Rangoon, July 14, 1813
t was not until the 19th Century that a significant foreign missionary movement by American evangelical Christians began in earnest. Adoniram Judson, a Massachusetts Congregationalist, was one of the first to take up that call, and on this day sailed into the harbor at Rangoon — the capital of Burma, his destination. His forty years of service in Burma would have astounding results, some of which can be seen today.
A Burmese (Myanmar) Landscape
In his youth, Judson heard the Gospel from his minister-father and devout mother. In college he associated with deists and skeptics and abandoned the faith of his fathers, entranced by the atheistic philosophes of Revolutionary France. A brilliant scholar in his own right, Judson mastered Latin, Greek and Hebrew and graduated as valedictorian of his class, moving on to Andover Seminary, apparently bent on an academic career as a subverter of biblical Christianity. The death of his best friend, full of despair and without hope, arrested the careless Judson and brought him back to the Gospel he had been taught as a child, and he made a profession of faith with determination to use his gifts for the Glory of God. On the mission field the obstacles he would face over the next forty or so years would have deterred or killed a normal man.
Adoniram Judson (1788-1850)
Ann Judson (1789-1826)
On the long and dangerous journey to India, Adoniram and his wife Ann ("Nancy") came to question their view of baptism. Meeting with the English businessman-missionary William Carey in India, Judson formally changed his views on baptism, resulting in his having to appeal to American Baptists for financial support. With new backing he continued to Burma, having been told that the millions of Burmese were absolutely impervious to the Gospel of Christ. It probably seemed true to Judson, for after twelve years, only eighteen people had professed conversion, and they faced execution for violating the laws against leaving Buddhism.
Sailing from Salem Aboard the Caravan
Burma and the Bay of Bengal
When the British went to war with Burma, Judson and a fellow missionary were arrested and thrown into a filthy prison for seventeen months. The fact that they were Americans made no difference. They were foreigners and they spoke English, so they were treated as spies. Tortured and diseased, Judson languished in the prison expecting to die. His wife tirelessly petitioned the government to release him. In God's good providence, he finally was set free and then hired by the Burmese government to help translate for negotiating the treaty that followed the war. So fluent had the missionary become that he translated the New Testament into Burmese and completed half of a Burmese dictionary, still in use there today!
Anna Judson visiting her husband in prison
Emily Chubbuck (1817-1854),
Third Wife of Adoniram Judson
Although only partially successful in Rangoon, Judson found a field ripe unto harvest in the northwestern frontier of the country among the Karen and Kachin people — émigrés centuries before from western China. His powerful ministry — attended by the power of the Holy Spirit — resulted in the establishment of over a hundred churches with more than 18,000 converts. Burma, now called Myanmar, has one of the largest number of Baptists in the world.
After Judson's faithful wife Anne died, he remarried the widow of a fellow missionary. Together they had eight children, before she died aboard ship on their way to visit their churches in America. He remarried in America and had one child before Judson himself died aboard ship at the age of 61 in 1850. Though buried at sea, his legacy lives on and there are memorials to him scattered across America and Burma.

A Chinese state-owned vaccine developer secured regulatory approval to test its coronavirus shots in the United Arab Emirates, making it one of the first among a slew of global efforts to get the greenlight for the final stage of human trials.
Beijing-based China National Biotec Group Co. was awarded approval on Tuesday to conduct Phase III trials for its Covid-19 vaccines in the Middle Eastern country, the company said in a statement posted on its official WeChat account.
CNBG said it will partner with Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence and cloud computing firm G42 to carry out the trial and local production of the vaccine. It didn't disclose details such as the timing or the number of people it plans to enroll for testing.
The world's fast-developing vaccine programs are moving into the final stage of testing before they are approved for inoculation for the general public. Pharmaceutical companies across the globe are racing to be first to find an effective shot against the novel coronavirus, which has infected more than 9.2 million people and killed over 476,000.
CNBG is the first Chinese vaccine developer to proceed toward a Phase III trial to test whether the two shots it developed are effective against the pathogen.
Chinese companies have had to look for places with active virus outbreaks to complete the final stage of human testing, which requires thousands of people. The low number of cases in China has made it unfeasible for them to conduct such trials at home. The U.A.E. is still adding hundreds of cases a day, with a total of more than 45,000 infections.
Chinese biotech CanSino Biologics Inc. was approved last month to conduct human testing for the vaccine it co-developed with the Chinese military in Canada, but will need to re-do early safety studies before going into the Phase III trial. Beijing-based Sinovac Biotech Ltd. has partnered with Instituto Butantan to roll out testing of its shot on 9,000 people in the hot spot of Brazil, but has not yet won approval to proceed.
Vaccine candidates from companies outside of China are also headed for Phase III trials. A shot co-developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca Plc will be tested among 2,000 people in Brazil starting as early as this month. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Moderna Inc. is set to begin testing its shot next month in a 30,000-person trial in the U.S.
The two shots developed by CNBG have already been tested among some 2,000 people in phase I and II trials conducted in China. One of the vaccines has been found to be generally safe, while data from the other one will be revealed on June 28. The shots were already administered on more than 1,000 employees, including senior executives of CNBG and its parent company.
Employees of Chinese state-run companies are said to have also been offered voluntary shots of the CNBG vaccines if they are traveling for work overseas or if they live in high-risk areas in Beijing, which has recently seen a fresh virus outbreak.

For the first single from his yet-to-be-named 8th album, Usher enlists a slew of producers to create "Good Kisser." As listed on 2dopeboyz, these dudes are Pop, Flip, JProof, Terry 'Tru' Sneed, Natural and Oak. I don't know who these dudes are except for Natural who I know worked on Looking For Myself.
The big difference is Usher has distanced himself from the electronic fuckery which have dominated his last two albums. This is not "OMG" or "Scream," but "Good Kisser" is equally as danceable. Clearly with the dominant drum break flowing through out the track, there is an organic, visceral feel to the record. Usher growls, raps, coos, and wails in such a familiar, easy manner. Some folks might call this record a comeback, or at least a throwback to the approachable boy-next-door Usher. I guess that'll happen when you divorce a succubus and have to rebound via a network singing contest show.
I'm going way off track. This single is hot. It's available on iTunes, but I'm sure you'll listen to the track on repeat on Vevo.

In the Lord I'll be ever thankful.
I am moved by every line of the Magnificat, by its every phrase and every word. I felt it again so strongly the other day, I decided we should devote one Sunday of Advent to each stanza, and Dr. Elizabeth signed on with me. The Four meditations on the Magnificat (Luke 1:39-56) will go like this:
Nov. 29, Advent I--My soul magnifies the Lord.
Dec. 6, Advent II--God has scattered the proud.
Dec. 13, Advent III--God has lifted up the lowly.
Dec. 20, Advent IV--God has helped his servant Israel.
If the Magnificat had dropped out of the sky without context or source, I would be moved by it. To me it amounts to a flash of brilliant sunlight breaking through the opening clouds. I am still moved, after how many decades since I first read it, by the calm, by the utter certitude of it.
What a start to the story of our Jesus—his mother, surprised by pregnancy, sings, she sings out, but to whom, to the baby? to her older cousin Elizabeth who is also surprised by a pregnancy? To God? to us?-- Along the natural course of human life, these two women, Elizabeth and Mary, share a common experience, and like any new mothers-to-be, both are full of delight and wonder at what has descended upon them.
I, being male, can only imagine the extent of such feelings, the first steps of a journey taken by every mother and yet which is owned uniquely by each of them!
But I do get it, when Mary begins and sings, My soul magnifies the Lord--!
Spontaneously, up rises this burst from Mary's soul--from where? --her soul! --from the eternal part of her which animates every human being, that part of her responds to this news, as from like to like—the corresponding part of herself responds to God—I do get it.
I was in a fix once, one I was not going to get out of, and I was really worried. A friend asked me, "Don't you trust life?" Until then, no one had ever put it that way to me, I had not even thought of my Christian faith that way. It's so that clear what is called for in life is to trust it, life being God-given, all the way from the furthest thing that telescopes can see to the smallest that microscopes magnify.
There's that word--magnify, to make larger, make plainer, make more real.
Now comes this surprise which, humanly speaking, suddenly puts a woman's foot on another path, and her soul tells out the greatness of her God-given life which she embraces. And she is one with it, come what may—she will accept her vocation, not just as a natural fact but as one more subject of the kingdom of God, her spirit is at one with God's saving purposes. All the different things that can possibly happen, Mary is prepared to own, for better or for worse, but she trusts in God her Savior, she trusts life because it is God.
And Mary says so, by Luke's inventiveness, in exactly the words of another woman, Hannah, a formerly barren woman who gives birth to Israel's first prophet, Samuel, and whose song begins, "My heart exults in the Lord" (I Samuel 2). No one could have recorded Mary's words, so Luke provides appropriate ones well known in Israel's traditions that line right up with Mary herself, and he does a little editing to personalize the theft when he writes "from now on all generations will call me blessed," referring to herself, Mary.
What Luke plagiarized was familiar to him through two related sources: one, Hannah's hymn, and two, the repeated singing of this hymn by small bands of Temple hangers-on in Jesus' time who adopted it as their hymn, alternative Jewish communities who had found a way to live out of no way by living in the Lord. Scholars today (Raymond Brown, E.P. Sanders) know who they were—the aniwim, meaning the poor ones, so designated not just for the SES level of limited means but also for their piety, meaning their intentionally religionless piety. Some of them eventually gathered in Jewish-Christian clusters after Jesus' death.
Their piety stretched back into Israelite history a long way, to Israel's very origins. They understood God not to be the God of the religious professionals, nor the greatest God among other gods, but a God beyond God, something we call "God" but is Other than the anthropomorphic being that usually comes to mind. It was revealed to Israel that the Creator God forms common cause with humanity, with all creation, with the cosmos—and Israel caught that. At that point, humanity went from worshiping "god the void and god the enemy to God the fellow-sufferer who understands" (Alfred North Whitehead).
How meaningful that the childbirths of three women of Israel—Hannah, Elizabeth, and Mary—witnessed to a different kind of life than governed by priests, a life partnered directly with the giver of life. God for Israel is the "mothering matrix of existence," (Henry Nelson Wieman), whose "judgment" we feel when we worship created goods rather than the creative good. Despite its anthropomorphic stories about an angry and jealous God, Israel still got it across that they worshiped some Other beyond the human characteristics attributed to "him."
The post-Easter Christians saw in Jesus one who embodied this faith. The gospel writers, like Luke, then wove a story around all the supporting cast, like Mary, which brings us to the Magnificat to which we have become inured by pious overuse. Mary's calm and her utter certitude is everywhere in the gospels, but it really jumps out at you in her incandescent words.
Luke was never worried about plagiarism—all four gospels are a patchwork of gleanings from tradition and borrowings from legend. Nor did Luke worry about prolepsis—all kinds of things are said in the nativity story that a character would not have known at that juncture. The Nativity story is the original Christmas pageant, with grand entrances, villains, surprise appearances, marvelous doings, and grand speeches like the Magnificat.
I want to warn you away from two particular disputes over Mary that are irrelevant distractions Christians have followed down destructive rabbit holes--
Her purported virginity was a requirement of the Israelite story-teller to meet the standard of purity that qualifies Jesus as messiah, so an after-the-fact fabrication was imported.
Her perceived passivity was applied as grounds for subordination to male-favorable social norms.
So with these things in mind, I hope you are moved as I am by every line of the Magnificat, by every phrase and every word. What a start to the story of our Jesus--his mother, surprised by pregnancy, sings, she sings out, but to whom, to the baby? to her older cousin Elizabeth who is also surprised by pregnancy? To God? --to us?
Or could it possibly, actually be our own song?
Mary's Magnificat should alert us—awake, wake up! Don't miss your vocation. Perhaps it is calling you from within what you are already doing, or from around a corner you haven't quite turned yet. Most important—don't underestimate your divine partner.
This week, at your table, read out loud the poetry of the Magnificat—you will experience how progressive liberal Protestantism is heir to Mary's creative waiting. It's not like waiting for the bus which your app tells you is coming but you can't hasten, but rather waiting that is involved and engaged in the unfolding future.
You will know the love, joy, hope and sublime peace of Advent. Now you know why always and everywhere, in the Lord I'll be ever thankful!
--Rev. Richard Chrisman

The premium game will receive large paid add-ons.
Variety has talked to Wargaming product director Jacob Bukler and Mad Head Games co-founder Uros Banjessevich about what Pagan Online is, how the game will evolve and why the authors did not make it free-to-play.
Pagan Online is the second project where Wargaming acts as a publisher, helping a third-party studio. The company learned about it from one of the employees of Epic Games around the beginning of 2017.
Wargaming believes that the free-to-play model is oversaturated, and players are looking for something that does not feel like a divorce for money. For this reason, Pagan Online will be paid and without microtransactions, the presence of which in premium titles, according to Wargaming, is already overkill.
The authors were convinced that they chose the right direction when they looked at BlizzCon 2018 – they were waiting for the announcement of Diablo 4 and were concerned that this would substitute their project.
The creators agree that Pagan Online looks like Diablo, but they assured that the game will feel differently – in their RPG the player needs to rely not on the stats of equipment, but on his skill, dodging attacks and getting skills.
The complexity of the combat system adds the fact that access to the abilities give the gods – the character of the player serves two of them, and during the battle between them you have to switch right on the go.
The game is divided into solo or cooperative races from 5 to 30 minutes, and the release will total about 35 hours of content, during which players will visit deserts, forests, swamps and other biomes.
Pagan Online will not be developed through microtransactions or service elements, but with the help of large paid updates that will be released once a quarter: new characters, features, storylines and other content are waiting for players in them.
Pagan Online will be released in early April access to PC.
Wargaming and Frag Lab are working on next-generation multiplayer shooter on Amazon technology.
GOG has launched a webpage calling for a boycott of DRM-protected content.

Q: Is there any purpose of splitting up express and app? I see these two lines in ( every ?) Express app.
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

I have to wonder if any parameters can be passed to express()?
Checked here and did not see any
https://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html
Why are some methods on express() and some on app()?
It seems like they should be combined and have all methods on one object.

A: express does not take any parameters, no. The purpose of calling it is to create the app object, so the fact you have to call it does make sense, even without parameters.
Another way you often see that written is:
const app = require("express")();

It'll need to be separate again when using ESM, though.
import express from "express"; // Or similar

const app = express();

In a comment you've said:

For example, is there anything useful I can do with out creating app? Is there anything I can do only with express?

As far as I know, you have to have create at least one Application object to do anything useful with Express. Note that you don't have to create just one app. That's the typical use case, but there's no reason you can't create multiple apps running on different ports.
You may be wondering why express can't just give you an Application object directly from require. The reason is that modules are only loaded once and cached, so what you get from require is shared. So Express exports the express function, which you use to create the Application object (or objects, plural, if you want more than one).

A:
Is there anything I can do only with express?

The reason for doing two separate lines like this:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

instead of this:
const app = require('express')();

is that the express module has other methods on it that are sometimes needed such as:
express.static(...)               // middleware for serving static files
express.json(...)                 // middleware for parsing json requests
express.urlencoded(...)           // middleware for parsing urlencoded requests
express.Router(...)               // constructor for a new Router object


The Great North Run, its in the north and its GREAT!
This was the second time I have ran this race and I love it. The crowds are amazing!
This year, I was running to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK and so far, I'm over£500! Awesome and huge thanks to everyone who donated.
I went into this run with very little training, due to cycling accidents and injuries, I haven't had the opportunity to train. This was a big worry and I really didn't think I would be able to complete the distance, so the plan was to take it steady.
Based on last years time, I was placed in a start pen that was right at the front! The only people in front of me were the club runners and the elites.
Because your start pen is based on your run time, I was in a large group of people running at the same pace, which got a little boring, last year I was running through all the slower runners which gave me a bit of a boost.
Everything was going well, pace was steady and I didn't have any leg pain, however, around 10k in I could feel the mother of all blisters forming on my baby soft feet. I was running in 1000 mile socks, I've used them for 10k runs and they have been okay, for some reason, today was different. I just ploughed on and tried to ignore it.
Again, the crowds lining the course were amazing, people with flags and signs of support, people giving out sweets and ice lollies, there was even an Elvis impersonator singing! awesome.
I finished the race in01:36:15, a few minutes slower than last year, but I felt a lot stronger. I feel like I could have gone a little quicker!

Opposition to a proposal to replace 16 legal clinics in the Greater Toronto Area with three larger centres is gathering steam with local politicians expressing their concerns and a new group emerging to rally resistance to the idea.
As clinics across the Toronto area prepare for a vote on the proposal before the end of the year, opponents are ramping up resistance to a plan they say will push Toronto's most marginalized people further to edge. Some of them formed a new group, Keep Neighbourhood Legal Clinics, following a recent public meeting at Toronto city hall.
A steering committee, made up of representatives from 16 Greater Toronto Area clinics, promised an 18-per-cent increase in frontline staff if up to five larger organizations replaced the existing ones. The plan would redistribute resources more equally across the region, according to the steering committee.
But opponents of the plan, many of whom are from Kensington-Bellwoods Community Legal Services and the Parkdale clinic, say the increase in frontline staff would be the equivalent of adding only about one more employee at each of the existing organizations.
The Kensington-Bellwoods clinic's board of directors has already voted to reject the proposal. While the Parkdale organization's board hasn't yet taken a position, some current and former staff members are vociferously resisting the closure of one of Toronto's oldest legal clinics.
By closing the existing legal clinics, the steering committee says it wants to start with "a blank slate" and redistribute resources more equally across low-income neighbourhoods.
Opened in 1971, Parkdale's legal clinic is now more than 40 years old.
"There is no such thing as a blank slate when you have that kind of history," says Cader.
Noting some of her clients at the Parkdale clinic were sick or suicidal or had disabilities, Cader says many of them wouldn't travel to a new location to speak to lawyers. Although the steering committee says there will be several access points across the city, details are missing on where they'll be and who will do the intake work, according to Cader.
Doug Ewart, one of the founding student staff members at the Parkdale organization, says the proposed model of 30 staff members, including two receptionists and three support staff at each location, just doesn't stand up to the real needs the clinics are going to have.
For his part, Jack De Klerk, the co-chairman of the steering committee for the clinic transformation project, says the opposition is coming from only a few clinics. He notes that in drawing up the proposal, the committee had to take into account underserved areas such as Scarborough.
"We're talking also about redistributing the resources, and there are areas in Toronto that are, relatively speaking, very under resourced. For example . . .
Kensington-Bellwoods serves less than half the number of poor people per staff than Scarborough does," he says. "If everyone is going to come up to Kensington-Bellwoods' level [in terms of resources], we'd have to double staff everywhere," he adds, noting it's unlikely the government would fund such a plan.
As for receptionists and support staff, De Klerk says the average legal worker doesn't use legal assistants.
But opposition politicians who represent Parkdale-High Park have waded into the issue and are supporting the opponents. Cheri DiNovo, the NDP MPP for Parkdale-High Park, says the proposal is in fact a cost-cutting scheme by the provincial government.
"I've heard the other side speaking about less bricks and mortar and more lawyers in the community, but the simple reality is — and they're very aware of this — Legal Aid Ontario and every other ministry in the government for that matter has been asked to make cuts," she says.
"Really, the agenda here from the provincial government's point of view is cuts to legal aid," she adds, suggesting the answer to underserved areas like Scarborough isn't to take away resources from other neighbourhoods.
DiNovo says she has written to the attorney general of Ontario expressing her concerns about marginalized groups in Parkdale losing access to clinics.
NDP MPP Jagmeet Singh, his party's critic for the attorney general, says he, too, is against the merger proposal.
For more, see "Report outlines details for clinic mergers" and "A solid plan for clinic reform."
For a stronger political argument, solve the "unaffordable legal services problem" & clinic re-locations by 3 innovations: (1) convert the 77 Legal Aid Clinics to providing traditional legal services 2middle class people, as well as to poor people. Provide them at cost, &free 4people having a Legal Aid certificate. With good management, & (2) LAO LAW to provide the legal research and related services, these clinics will out-perform any law office in private practice as to cost. In this way, much greater & more secure public &political support can be obtained. The Trebilcock Report on Legal Aid (2008) recommended very similar use of the clinics, along with, (3) much greater use of legal services insurance. It can be made attractive 2the insurance companies by allowing them to specify the clinics' services being those ensured, & government help promoting the buying of legal services insurance.-Ken Chasse, mbr.

Details About The Original Ending of World War Z Appear
For those of you who ran to the theaters to catch the latest entry for the zombie trend that is World War Z, some details of interest about the movie's ending have emerged. If you are a passing fan who is only interested in seeing the newest, hottest thing at the theater, then you may not be familiar with the details of the movie's ending. WWZ's theatrical ending had to be re-shot, and Damon Lindelof was brought in to redo it. The reasoning behind his choices:
I said to them, There are two roads to go down here," says Lindelof. "Is there material that can be written to make that stuff work better? To have it make sense? To have it have emotional stakes? And plot logic and all that? And Road Two, which I think is the long-shot road, is that everything changes after Brad leaves Israel… I didn't think anyone was going to say, 'Let's throw it out and try something else,'?" Lindelof recalls. "So when I gave them those two roads and they sounded more interested in Road B"—which meant shooting an additional 30 to 40 minutes of the movie…"
In other words, the crew didn't like what they had created and they hired a writer who has a gift for being obscure to fix it. Reaction to the movie has been mixed, and one reviewer in particular has this to say about the new ending:
The infamously troubled third act is pretty good, but it's smaller and intimate, which is jarring when compared to the epic CG money shots of the rest of the movie.
It should be noted that AintItCool.com's Quint was not overly impressed with the final product, but he felt the ending worked, even if it doesn't fit the tenor of the first two acts. As an aside, I have not, nor do I have any intention of seeing the movie. As someone who has read the book, I have no interest in seeing a PG-13 version of an "in name only" adaptation.
The Oatmeal addressed this very issue:
For those who did see and enjoy WWZ, here's an idea of what you may be getting in the Blu-Ray's additional content, provided Paramount allows the original WWZ ending to see the light of day:
The plane Gerry and Segen board is bound for Moscow. Upon safely landing, everyone on board is rounded up by the military. The elderly and the sick are executed and the healthy people, including a very shaken Gerry, are immediately drafted into armed service, though not before one particularly nasty Russian soldier takes Gerry's cell phone. The story then jumps forward an unknown amount of time and we catch up with Gerry, who now has a full beard and has been a part of Russia's zombie-clearing squad at least long enough for it to have changed to winter. He looks almost dead inside, but the reality is that over this time he's become an experienced and ruthless zombie killer, and he's the leader of his own equally capable unit.
Gerry's unit is tasked with clearing subway tunnels of zombie hordes. This is the first time we see the Lobo, a perfected zombie-killing tool that's sort of a shovel/battle axe that would have been one of the few things from the book to make it into the movie. Gerry and his team use them to slice their way through every poor zombie that tracks them through the tunnels by following their sounds. It's all routine work for them, and when they're not in the tunnels killing, they're basically just preparing to go back in. During this downtime we see a bit of bonding between Gerry and another English-speaking friend, Simon. The two play a guessing game of what celebrities would have survived the outbreak.
There are at least six more paragraphs discussing the original ending, which is apparently bleaker than the theatrical version. With that in mind, which do you prefer? Would the appearance of the Lobo save the movie for fans of the book who were disappointed by the adaptation?

Youth entrepreneurship at its best: Recognition for Thabiso Mncwabe
Thabiso Mncwabe.
THABISO Mncwbe, a 26-year-old Greytonian who runs a successful small business making toilet tissue, is intensely grateful to his grandmother who raised him.
His story is a testament to the powerful creativity that emerges when hard work, initiative and creativity are supported by business skills and mentorship.
Thabiso is actively participating in the Tholoana Enterprise Programme, where he is a star performer.
A deep urge to make a better life for himself drives him. Unafraid of long hours and heavy lifting, Thabiso is proud of the hard work and effort that is already bringing significant rewards to his business, Twin Twice Tissues.
Bridgit Evans, director of the SAB Foundation who sponsors the programme noted that 50 participants were selected to join the programme from more than 2000 businesses that applied country wide.
"Thabiso was an obvious candidate. His company was already a well managed operation, busy with production. His orders exceeded his production capacity and he was trying to keep up with the sales. As it so happens, he was also the only one of nine rural KZN youth entrepreneurs who had actually succeeded in turning a manufacturing opportunity sponsored by the province, into a thriving business."
Based in Makhabeleni, Twin Twice operates mostly on a cash basis, with deliveries being paid for upfront.
This tight cash flow management, his innovative delivery schemes, and aggressive marketing have enabled him to penetrate the SPAR outlets in his and surrounding towns, and things continue to improve.
Thabiso recently started supplying one of KZN's five mega SPARs.
If this trial period goes well, he hopes to secure contracts with the other four.
He also supplies 20 standard SPARs and 18 Cash & Carry stores, and employs eight permanent staff members with nine casuals. In addition, he supplies B&Bs, local stores, and Wimpy restaurants.
The company grew out of the need for affordable toilet tissue where the provincial Government's sanitation works were rolling out new toilets.
Despite limited storage space at his premises and only one machine, the business maintained a steady production flow, selling almost all his stock before even being manufactured.
Thabiso put the necessary control systems in place, engaging enthusiastically with his mentor thus qualifying for grant funding which enabled him to replace his vehicle which had crashed in the mist.
Thabiso continues to develop valuable skills that improve his leadership and grow his business. His potential is being widely recognised.
The Umyezane Award for KwaZulu-Natal's Best Youth Managed Business was a highlight of his career.
The prize will help him acquire additional operational space.
Thabiso has taken to mentoring 10 young business owners, sharing his natural flair for entrepreneurship and his recently learned insights.
"As a high school student, I walked 25 km every day to attend school. My passion now is to inspire other SMMEs to keep trying, no matter how far they have to go to 'finish the fight' and to reach their own goals," he said.

Stroobos (Fries: Strobos, ) is een dorp in de gemeente Achtkarspelen, in de Nederlandse provincie Friesland. Het ligt ten noordoosten van Surhuisterveen en ten zuidoosten van Buitenpost.

Stroobos vormt samen met Gerkesklooster het tweelingdorp Gerkesklooster-Stroobos. De twee dorpen zijn in veel zaken verenigd. Het dorp Stroobos telde in   inwoners. Onder het dorp valt een klein deel van de buurtschap Surhuizumer Mieden.

Tot 1993 lag Stroobos in twee gemeenten, de gemeente Grootegast (provincie Groningen) en de gemeente Achtkarspelen (Friesland). Omdat dit allerlei praktische bezwaren gaf, is het Groningse deel van Stroobos naar Achtkarspelen overgegaan.

Geschiedenis
De naam zou voor het eerst zijn gebruikt in 1655, toen het Hoendiep werd gegraven, en zou verwijzen naar onderkomens van stro voor de arbeiders die het kanaal groeven.

Stroobos heeft zijn sporen verdiend in de wereld van scheepvaart en handel, daar het op de provinciegrens lag en een sluis had. De vaart naar Dokkum heet niet voor niets Stroobossertrekvaart. Tot in de jaren vijftig had de stad Groningen een kanaal naar het Hoendiep waarin de naam Stroobos voorkwam.

Industrie
De ligging aan het Prinses Margrietkanaal/Van Starkenborghkanaal is al zeer lang van groot belang voor deze dorpen. De industrie kreeg daardoor al vroeg een kans, en in de twee dorpen zijn dan ook enige grote bedrijven gevestigd. In 1850 werd te Stroobos de scheepswerf Barkmeijer gesticht. Het bedrijf bestaat nog steeds.

Gebouwen
Ongeveer 700 meter ten noordoosten van Stroobos staat een Amerikaanse windmotor, een poldermolen die is aangewezen als rijksmonument. Daarnaast staat er in het dorp nog één monumentale boerderij.

Geboren in Stroobos
 Garmt Stuiveling (1907-1985), dichter

Book Condition: GOOD / VERY GOOD
More Description from Internet Sources--
America's most prominent legal mind and the #1 bestselling author of "Chutzpah "and "The Best Defense," Alan Dershowitz, recounts his legal autobiography, describing how he came to the law, as well as the cases that have changed American jurisprudence over the past 50 years, most of which he has personally been involved in.
In "Taking the Stand," Dershowitz reveals the evolution of his own thinking on such fundamental issues as censorship and the First Amendment, Civil Rights, Abortion, homocide and the increasing role that science plays in a legal defense. Alan Dershowitz, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard University, and the author of such acclaimed bestsellers as "Chutzpah," "The Best Defense," and "Reversal of Fortune," for the first time recounts his legal biography, describing his struggles academically at Yeshiva High School growning up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, his successes at Yale, clerking for Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, his appointment to full professor at the Harvard at age 28, the youngest in the school's history. Dershowitz went on to work on many of the most celebrated cases in the land, from appealing (successfully) Claus Von Bulow's conviction for the murder of his wife Sunny, to the O.J. Simpson trial, to defending Mike Tyson, Leona Helmsley, Patty Hearst, and countless others. He is currently part of the legal team advising Julian Assange.
