The Allen's Hummingbird has a fairly small breeding range of 31,400 square kilometers that includes coastal scrub habitats in Oregon and California. It winters in a small area of central Mexico at forest edge and shrubby areas with many flowering plants. This species has also wandered far from its regular range and has shown up in the eastern United States and Canada. Although this species is believed to have greatly declined since the 1960s, its estimated breeding population of 700,000 is still believed to be large enough to warrant a conservation rating of Least Concern.
Allen's Hummingbird: Small, compact hummingbird; male has straight black bill, glittering green crown and back, white breast, and rufous sides, belly, rump, and tail. The throat (gorget) is iridescent copper-red. Female similar but lacks bright gorget. Feeds on nectar, insects, spiders, and sap. Swift direct flight, hovers when feeding.
Range and Habitat
Allen's Hummingbird: Breeds along the Pacific coast from southern Oregon to southern California. Resident in extreme southern California; winters from southern California and Arizona to central Mexico and sometimes can be found along the Gulf Coast states. Preferred habitats include coastal chaparral, brushlands, and edges of redwood forests.

The courtship flight of the male Allen's Hummingbird is a back and forth arc of about 25 feet, similar to the motion of a swinging pendulum, followed by a high-speed dive from about 100 feet.
They are aggressive in defending nesting territory from other hummers, and have been known to attack and rout birds several times larger than themselves.
A group of hummingbirds has many collective nouns, including a "bouquet", "glittering", "hover", "shimmer", and "tune" of hummingbirds.

About this North America Map
This map shows how this species is distributed across North America.
FAMILY DESCRIPTION
The taxonomic order APODIFORMES (pronounced a-poh-dih-FOR-meez) is composed of four families of birds that occur on all continents except for Antarctica and includes masters of flight such as the swifts and hummingbirds.
FAMILY TAXONOMY
A family restricted to the Americas, the Trochilidae (pronounced tro-KIL-luh-dee), or hummingbirds, is one of the largest bird families with three hundred and thirty-eight species in one hundred and six genera.
One hundred twenty species of hummingbirds in fifty genera occur in North America. In addition to species with hummingbird as part of their name, these minute flying gems also include the poetically named hermits, streamertails, coquettes and violetears.
Hummingbirds are mostly known for their tiny size and flying abilities. These hyperactive, insect-like birds can hover in place and fly backwards on wings that beat so fast they become a blur.
Most North American hummingbird species are tiny birds, most not much larger than a medium-sized butterfly, with thin, pointed bills, very short legs, and long wings for their dynamic flying. Just as impressive in flight, the large Magnificent and Blue-throated Hummingbirds of the southwest are roughly the same size as some warblers.
Most hummingbirds in North America have white underparts and glittering green upperparts. Exceptions are the Green Violetear with its mostly green plumage, the dark-bellied Magnificent Hummingbird, and the tan plumages of Rufous and Allen's Hummingbirds. Males of most hummingbirds also have a glittering, jewel-like patch of feathers on the throat known as a gorget that can reflect brilliant red, purple, copper, or other colors depending upon how the light strikes it.
GEOGRAPHIC HABITAT
Absent from the boreal forests and tundra of the far north, hummingbirds occur further south in both deciduous and coniferous forests, second growth, chaparral, and deserts. While just one species is regular in the east (the Ruby-throated Hummingbird), the southwestern United States hosts several species.
Short and long distance migrations are undertaken by hummingbird species with the Ruby-throated Hummingbird routinely flying across the Gulf of Mexico to reach its wintering grounds in Central America.
Generally solitary in nature, hummingbirds are very aggressive in defense of their food sources. This feisty behavior becomes immediately apparent when several hummingbirds congregate at feeders and flower patches, seeming to spend more time fighting and chasing each other around than actually feeding. Although hummingbirds will glean arthropods from spider webs and catch small bugs in flight, they mostly feed on flower nectar.
Perhaps due to their small size and flower-feeding behavior, no hummingbird species is threatened in North America; however habitat loss in Central and South America has placed some species in the vulnerable or endangered status categories.
On cold nights hummingbirds can slow down their heart rate and metabolism to enter a temporary state of hibernation called torpor. This behavior allows the hummingbird to save precious energy demanded by its high rate of metabolism. Prior to naturalists understanding the widespread use of migration by birds, many early ornithologists assumed hummingbirds were too small to fly long distances and therefore rode on the backs of geese and other larger birds.

Forest Glen and 19 other stations could be closed during non-peak hours (evenings, during the day and weekends) until WMATA gets additional funding.
The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) should have a decision on the Georgia Ave redesign by the end of the year according to a recent conversation with FFG. According to a SHA official, the design review is almost complete and at this time the Forest Glen Tunnel proposal will not be a part of Georgia Ave.'s much needed makeover.
The Georgia Ave. stretch (from Forest Glen Rd. to 16th st.) is one of the most congested areas in all of MoCo and is plagued with accidents and poor pedestrian access.
SHA's Montgomery Hills Project hopes to tackle these issues while giving the area an aesthetic boost. The Montgomery Hills section (the area between Forest Glen on the north-side and 16th street on the south) has been the topic of many redesign conversations over the past several years, including recent news that its master plan will be consolidated with Forest Glen's own master plan. According to M-NCPPC, Forest Glen's master plan review should begin later this year after Lyttonsville's plan is finalized.
FFG reported on this issue last year and recommended Design 3 as the best alternative for the Montgomery Hills project.
As the Georgia Ave. redesign goes forward and with Forest Glen redevelopment in the works, the Forest Glen tunnel is an important part of our critical infrastructure. Connecting residents to mass transit and public health resources, the tunnel will be an important feature that connects residents that are otherwise divided by a 6 lane highway.
Once SHA finalizes its decision, the project will need to be funded and it is likely that the redesign will take another few years to complete.

Plus: Marvel isn't looking for another Legion or Jessica Jones, ABC boss mulls over a Lost reboot, Party of Five is coming back, and more.
The latest on Gotham's final season, Cameron Monaghan opens up about his return to Shameless, Marvel TV boss shares intel, a Lost reboot tops ABC chief's wishlist, and more TV news.
Who Plays Batman in Gotham's Finale?
Young Bruce Wayne's transition into the Batman is almost complete, and reporters at Fox's Gotham panel at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Los Angeles were treated to a sizzle reel including the first look at the series' caped crusader in his final form. But is that star David Mazouz under the cowl?
"Yes and no," executive producer John Stephens said. While it's Mazouz's face you'll see and voice you'll hear, it wasn't physically him in the suit — simply because the suit was made to fit someone with a 6'4″ frame.
The series will see a 10-year flash-forward before it ends, when we'll see older versions of other Batman characters (rather than the developing versions Gotham has portrayed over the years). Camren Bicondova confirmed that a "fully realized" version of Catwoman will appear in the finale, along with full-on versions of Penguin and Riddler. As for the Joker, it's still up in the air.
Will ABC Get Lost Again?
"We have to go back," Jack famously pleaded to Kate on Lost. But does ABC have any interest in revisiting its seminal mystery series?
"Yes, I would like [a reboot] very much. That is a reboot I would be interested in seeing," new ABC boss Karey Burke told reporters when asked whether she was planning to bring back the show. But unfortunately, it's only a personal wish from a Lost superfan.
Burke, just two months into her position as ABC Entertainment president, included the "we have to go back" scene in a clip reel for reporters demonstrating the types of shows she hopes to bring to ABC in her time at the network. It was not an indication of any actual plans to reboot Lost.
Fans were shocked when Cameron Monaghan exited Showtime's Shameless halfway through the series' ninth season. But when the network announced the series' renewal for a tenth season — without star Emmy Rossum, who departs at the end of season 9 — it revealed that Monaghan's Ian Gallagher would be returning to the series.
The actor told Rotten Tomatoes and a small group of reporters that his decision to leave (and subsequently to come back) was "a nexus of creativity and business." While he wanted to step away for creative and business reasons, after a chat with showrunner John Wells about Ian's future he decided to come back.
"We got to a place both creatively and financially where I felt comfortable coming back, and much of that had to do with what we were going to do with the story," he revealed. While the season hasn't been written yet, he hopes Ian will focus on himself in season 10.
The third and final season of FX's Legion is debuting this year, and most of Marvel's Netflix series have been retired. But in building up its TV library again – perhaps on new streaming service Disney+ – Marvel is not looking to repeat anything that's been done before.
Loeb hopes that his studio has created an atmosphere in which showrunners feel that they have creative freedom to tell many different stories. Lauren Shuler Donner, Legion executive producer and a main driving force behind the X-Men franchise, said she and her colleagues want to make sure each X-Men story feels different and creative too.
Freeform has officially ordered a rebooted version of '90s drama Party of Five. Instead of the Salinger kids, whose parents were killed in a car accident with a drunk driver, the new series will follow the Acostas, whose parents are deported.
"This show is about grief in a slightly different way, because what is lost is not gone forever," executive producer and original co-creator Chris Keyser told reporters at TCA.
The series will tackle the current immigration debate head-on, which gives the show an advantage because "it's real. It's happening every day," executive producer and original co-creator Amy Lippman said. Additionally, the new version's added layer will include the parents struggling to care for their children from a distance.
But will any original cast members show up? Perhaps in the future, but "not yet," Lippman teased.

Qatar believes the 'OneLove' armband is sending a 'divisive message' during the World Cup
Charisa Bossinakis
Qatar World Cup chief Hassan Al-Thawadi believes the OneLove armband sends a 'very divisive message' during the World Cup.
England, Wales and other European nations announced they would wear OneLove armband as a sign of solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community in Qatar, where same-sex relationships are illegal.
However, FIFA quickly threatened they would issue a yellow card to nations that wore an inclusive armband, as per Sky News.
Credit: Belga News Agency / Alamy Stock Photo
As a result, these national teams have backed out from wearing the bracelet as they do not wish to risk any 'sporting sanctions'.
After the disciplinary threat was made, Al-Thawadi, the secretary general of the supreme World Cup committee for delivery and legacy, said he had an 'issue' with the armband.
He views it as a protest against the Gulf nation's beliefs.
According to The Guardian, he told reporters: "If the teams decided to do it throughout the entire season, that is one thing.
"But if you're coming to make a point, or a statement in Qatar, that is something I have an issue with.
"And it goes back to the simple fact that this is a part of the world that has its own set of values."
He continued: "This is not Qatar I'm talking about, it's the Arab world.

"For the teams to come and preach or make statements, that's fine. But what you're essentially saying is you're protesting an Islamic country hosting an event. Where does that end? Does that mean no Islamic country can never be able to participate in anything?
"There's going to be different values and different views coming in. So, for me, if you're going to come specifically to make a statement here in Qatar – or specifically addressed to Qatar and by extension, the Islamic world – it leaves a very divisive message."
The Qatar World Cup chief added he wants visitors to respect the values and religion of the nation, as it is 'fundamental' to unifying the world during the tournament.
The region has been widely condemned for its discriminatory policy around queer people.
While Qatar has said LGBTQI+ fans are welcome during the World Cup, they have also stated that public displays of affection are not allowed.
Fans and journalists sporting pride colours have also been refused entry to World Cup stadiums.
World Cup organisers have since apologised for these incidents while assuring fans that rainbow colours are allowed inside venues.

DP World forecasts 10pc growth in box throughput in 2017 with new investments
Sanchi has sunk
Home MARKETS Boxship charter market in healthy state but owners still have concerns
Boxship charter market in healthy state but owners still have concerns
ALTHOUGH the containership charter market has entered the new year in a much healthier state than it was in 2017, shipowners are still concerned about the impact of liner consolidation on vessel employment
ALTHOUGH the containership charter market has entered the new year in a much healthier state than it was in 2017, shipowners are still concerned about the impact of liner consolidation on vessel employment.
Alphaliner's charter index ended the year on a high note - 46 per cent higher than 12 months previously. All sectors recorded improvements in what the consultant described as 'unusual strength in ship demand in the traditionally slack winter season'.
But it was the smaller sizes that saw the biggest rises: for example, a 4,400 TEU panamax vessel commanded a hire rate around 75 per cent more than a year ago, at US$7,500 per day.
And with availability of panamax tonnage becoming very tight, at only around 20 ships on spot, brokers are already looking at $8,500-$9,000 per day for extensions, prior to Chinese new year.
Compared to a year ago there were almost 100 'classic' panamax ships of 4,000-5,100 TEU seeking employment, and daily hire rates for those that were being fixed had slumped to a sub-economic $4,000 per day, below forcing owners of even young panamax ships to cut their losses and sell the ships for scrap.
The Loadstar of UK reported in January last year on the sale to Bangladeshi breakers of the 2010-built 4,250 TEU Hammonia Grenada for $5.5 million, which at just seven years old was the youngest operational containership ever to be sent to the scrapyard.
A year on the owners of the Hammonia Grenada could have achieved around $8 million in scrap value.
Notwithstanding the estimated 1.5 million TEU of newbuild tonnage - mostly in the larger vessel sizes - slated for delivery this year, which will cause problems for owners of larger charter ships from cascading, brokers also fear the threat of rationalisation of liner tonnage as a result of the spate of mergers and acquisitions in the past year or so.
The ripples from Hapag-Lloyd's merger with UASC and Maersk's takeover of Hamburg Sud are already being felt in the market, but shipowners and brokers are now also worried about the forthcoming merger of the Japanese carriers and the takeover of OOCL by Cosco.
MOL and NYK charter-in around 60 per cent of their fleets, while for K line the percentage is even higher at approximately 75 per cent.
The promised $1 billion a year cost saving synergies from the merger of the trio in April into Ocean Network Express (ONE) will not just come from staff and office reductions and extra buying clout of services, but also from fleet rationalisation. Broker sources said they are 'very concerned' about the number of ships that the Japanese carriers may look to off-hire before and after the ONE network is bedded in.
There is also the case of Cosco, which has the biggest chartered in fleet of all the top five carriers at approximately 71 per cent, about to take over OOCL, which has been operating with 75 per cent owned tonnage.

SANTA FE, N.M. New Mexico's congressional delegation wants the federal government to set up the planned new space agency in the Land of Enchantment.
All five members of the New Mexico delegation recently wrote a letter to Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan to argue the new Space Development Agency should be established in the state.
The delegation cited White Sands Missile Range, Spaceport America and the national laboratories as reasons for New Mexico as a good home.

Are U.S. – Israeli relations on the rocks?
On Monday evening, CNN's Richard Roth joined "OutFront" for an in-depth look at the ongoing unrest in Gaza, and the strain it's creating between the U.S. and Israel.
A staunch supporter of Israel, the United States is feeling pressure as global criticism is aimed at Israel following military operations in Gaza. And, as the conflict continues, so too does the deterioration of the relationship between the two.
Following John Kerry's recent trip to Israel, it was reported Israeli Intelligence had been eavesdropping on the Secretary of State's phone calls. Kerry has also been blasted by the Israeli government and media, who've referred to his diplomatic tactics as unfair.
For Roth's full report on the tense relationship between Israel and the U.S., watch the above video.

"Who is the bad guy here?" – Ron Prosor addresses Israel and Hamas comparisons:
In advance of the forthcoming 72-hour cease fire, on Monday evening Erin Burnett welcomed Ron Prosor, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations.
Joining the "OutFront" host for a live interview, Prosor addressed comparisons between Israel and Hamas, saying "you're trying to equate a democracy like Israel, with a terror organization like Hamas. This is like equating the United States with Al-Qaeda."
Watch the above video as Prosor further clarifies his point by noting that Israel and Hamas represent "absolutely the good and evil."

"That's my question: where is 'there'" – Erin Burnett asks Dore Gold where civilians can seek safety amid Middle East violence
On the heels of a UN school coming under attack in Gaza, on Wednesday evening Erin Burnett welcomed Dore Gold, asking the Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu where civilians fleeing violence in the Middle East are expected to go.
Hamas has reportedly been using U.N. schools as a storage area for rockets and missiles, a practice that is leaving innocent Palestinians with few options to seek safety. Israel has made attempts to move Palestinians out of areas of conflict, but with the borders closed, Burnett's question remains unanswered.
Watch the above video for the full conversation between the "Erin Burnett OutFront" host and her guest Dore Gold.
Dramatic video of Gaza market attack
Following the airing of dramatic video footage of a deadly attack at a Gaza market, on Wednesday evening Erin Burnett welcomed colleague John Vause for an investigation of the dangerous situation.
In the footage, ambulances race to the scene after an initial explosion, only to be greeted by another. The journalist filming the scene was seriously injured in the explosion, but his assistant promptly picked up the camera, and continued rolling, capturing further scenes of horror. The footage, much of it graphic, has been broadcast on Hamas Television.
Hamas officials say the market may have been crowded largely because civilians were under the impression a humanitarian ceasefire was in place. With 17 killed and 200 wounded, they were clearly, and sadly, mistaken.
Watch the above video to see the full depth of footage from the fatal explosions at the market in Gaza.

'The world has to wake up, the United States has to wake up'
On Wednesday evening, Erin Burnett welcomed Maen Areikat, asking the Chief P.L.O. Representative to the U.S. for his assessment of the ongoing unrest between Israel and Hamas.
Thus far, it seems Israel will not back down as long as rockets continue to be launched in its direction. So, Burnett asks her guest, "what is being done to stop Hamas from firing more rockets?"
According to Areikat, "Israel has a habit of lying," and "the world has to wake up."
He goes on to state that the U.N. has proof that the shells recently fired at a U.N. school were Israeli.
Erin asks if Hamas should be blamed for incidents like these due to their use of civilian structures for weapon storage. While Areikat agrees that this is a violation of U.N. sanctity, he finds Israel's action inexcusable, and furthermore condemns America's loyalty to Israel in the crisis:
"It is shameful that the United States is resupplying ammunition to a country that is committing right now war crimes."
Watch the above video for the full interview between Areikat and Burnett.

Can be detrimental to your health and relationships. I mentioned in my last post about Rescuer's High. This is the feeling you get when you come in and fix everything for someone else. The rush of feeling like a hero even if the solution was detrimental to the person being rescued. I didn't understand the problem until I was in counseling and my counselor explained to me that part of what kept me in the unhealthy relationship with my mother is she expected me to rescue her and I was gratified and praised when I did. I noticed the same thing in computer repair especially during finals, I would walk in the room and 3 or 4 people would be shouting my name to rescue them. It is a rush to be needed and succeed and the praise that follows. Sadly, it is a brief high and followed with higher and higher demands to reach that elusive high. So what is so wrong with being a hero? The World needs heroes that are willing to step up and make this a better place to live so what is the problem? Several actually.
Rescuing others at the detriment of their personal growth or they could do it themselves. Example….you can't help a chick hatch, it kills the chick.
Rescuing when my own problems are ignored. It is more comfortable to solve someone else's problem while ignoring my own. Example…..washing you friends dishes when your sink is over flowing with dishes.
Needing a bigger and bigger rescue to get the same rush. Like anything else our body adapts and it takes a bigger rescue to have the same adrenal rush. Example…..looking for bigger and better ways to rescue while ignoring yours and their personal growth.
So what do we need instead? Being willing to support and encourage others to solve their own problems. Take care of personal problems and issues before running around to help someone else. Take on a new challenge but don't be looking for that instant rush….look for long time goals that benefit yourself and others in a healthy way. Being raised in a toxic environment it took me awhile to see the problems involved with the rescue-praise-slump-do it again cycle. I still like helping others but I recognize the need to teach the other person to feel empowered instead of helpless.
Solving problems takes personal work. Doing it for them doesn't always help.

Understand the very real planned and growing NEW WORLD ORDER:
THE NEW WORLD ORDER (Novus Ordo Seclorum): Globalist elites (operating through organisations including the Bilderberg Group, Royal Institute of International Affairs, Council on Foreign Relations, Tri-lateral Commission, World Bank, WTO, United Nations, European Union, NAFTA, the Club of Rome and others) have collectively sworn to bring about their long-term plan of "post-industrial revolution," which is nothing less than the wholesale destruction of the Western industrial base, a single global currency & centralised financial control, the liquidation of the middle class as a social group and the micro-chipping of the general population. The people of the Western World are in the middle of a profoundly disturbing social engineering exercise that most are ignorant of, even though many sense that something is not quite right with their society. Led by plutocrats following a long-standing plan, the globalist political elite are waging a covert campaign of aggressive disorientating assault against its populations using propaganda, divide-and-rule and other mass-manipulation techniques. These elites are all traitors to their respective countries, guilty of high treason and of high crimes and misdemeanours. They are attempting to achieve this goal using Hegllian techniques to produce their own new order out of chaos (order ab chao): they create repeated false-flag terror events like 9-11, exaggerated & false environmental scares and international finacial crashes so that, as anticipated, a gulllible and suffering populous clamour for the globalist 'solutions' that are already prepared. Those solutions are covertly designed to transfer power to a global plutocracy and remove liberty from the people. Those lesser individuals lower down in the power pyramid that assist the globalists are secretly referred to as "useful idiots" by their elite masters: who co-opt them by deceitful pretence that their actions are for the good of all humanity.
Step by step, the elites' goal, in their own words (see below), is a one-world plutocratic government of 'scientific dictatorship' in which democratic participation will be meaningless, resistance will not be tolerated and global population will be reduced to less than 20% of its current levels. This will be achieved first by continental geo-political merging (European Union, NAFTA etc) leading to global merging (One World Government). and totalitarian control. Ordinary people will be increasingly relocated into city population-centres and excluded from the countryside in the continuation of a plan initiated through the current United Nations Agenda-21.
Take note; If YOU are a bureacrat, businessman, policeman or soldier or professional of any kind that is helping to build this system then you urgently need to see the bigger picture and do the population math: what you are deceived into doing as a "useful idiot" is constructing a global gulag in which YOUR children and YOUR grandchildren will be enslaved – IF they survive at all in a programme that will reduce global population by some 80% or more…
This anti-democratic nightmare can be and must be stopped (see below).
…If you think the Globalists NWO scenario/plan is not real and not relentlessly progressing then you simply have not studied the elites' own words and actions (and the mainstream media has been actively and passively engineering your ignorance of such matters) – a mere introductory selection of which follows:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years. . . It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards World Government. The supra-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in a private June 1991 Trilateral Commission meeting: quoted from page 405 in his book 'Memoirs' published in 2002, Chapter 'Proud Internationalists'. He goes on:
"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure, One World if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty and I am proud of it."
"The implications of the transfer of full sovereignty from separate nations to a World Organization. . .Political unification in some sort of World Government will be required. . .Even though. . . any radical eugenics policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable." Julian Huxley
"We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." Prominent Council on Foreign Relations member, Arthur Schlesinger, July/August 1995: In the CFR's Foreign Affairs Magazine.
"There are three ways of securing a society as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the second that of infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that a scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a World Government. . .Unless. . . one power of group of powers emerges victorious and proceeds to establish a single government of the world with a monopoly of armed force, it is clear that the level of civilization must continually decline. . ." Bertrand Russell
"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal." Ted Turner, founder of CNN and major UN donor
"This plan is to establish — very soon — the first stages of a 'new world order.' This will be the novus ordo seclorum for which a self-perpetuating inner circle of Conspirators has been working and scheming relentlessly during some six generations…." World Federalists, September 1972.
"The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself." Club of Rome, premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations.
"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsiblity to bring that about?" Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme.
"… the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more than 500 million but less than one billion." Club of Rome, Goals for Mankind.
"Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief… Human beings become increasingly manipulable and malleable… Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites… whose ties cut across national boundaries… The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty… Further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken…" Zbigniew Brzezinsk – Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era, published 1970. Brezinski is a CFR member who became the first director of the Trilateral Commission, President Carter's national security advisor and leading foreign affairs advisor to President Obama.
"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing." David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club.
"We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination… So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts… Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." Prof. Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports.
"Europe's nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation." Jean Omer Marie Gabriel Monnet (1888-1979) the "chief architect" of the European Unity and a "Founding Father" of the European Union Superstate plan.
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis…" David Rockefeller, Club of Rome executive member.
Carroll Quigley was the Georgetown Professor who was the official historian of the Secret Conspiratorial Society plotting World Empire, whose outward expression is often called the Anglo-American Establishment, the de-facto Shadow Government of the Western World. Quigley said that the Will of the Power Elite is made manifest in the real world by its control of the credit of nations. Moreover, that the ultimate aim of the Dark Force, the Big Plan of the Invisible Money Power is:
" … nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole … controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."
"Democracy is not a panacea. It cannot organize everything and it is unaware of its own limits. These facts must be faced squarely. Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is no longer well suited for the tasks ahead. The complexity and the technical nature of many of today's problems do not always allow elected representatives to make competent decisions at the right time." Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution.
"The [global warming] models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful." Dr David Frame, climate modeler, Oxford University.
"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level." UN Agenda 21.
"Today, Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow, they will be grateful! This would especially be true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated that threatened our very existence. Is is then that all people of the world will please to deliver them from this evil. The one thing man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to then by a World Government." Henry Kissinger at the World Affairs Council Press Conference, Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel , April 19th 1994. He goes on:
"The New World Order cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change it's perceptions."
"The spiritual sense of our place in nature… can be traced to the origins of human civilization… The last vestige of organized goddess worship was eliminated by Christianity." Al Gore, Earth in the Balance.
"Let the U.N. establish new agencies such as an International Criminal Court….National sovereignty would be gradually eroded until it is no longer an issue. Eventually a world federation can be formally adopted with little resistance." World Federalist Association – The Genius of Federation: Why World Federation Is the Answer to Global Problems, 1994.
"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true." Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace.
"Saying the world should not debate who won the Cold War, Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev called… for the United states and Soviet Union to be partners in building a new world order…" Mikhail Gorbachev speaking at Stanford University, USA – quoted by Sentinel wire services Jun 5 1990.
"Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a New World Order – can emerge. . . Now, we can see a New World Order coming into view. A world in which there is a very real prospect for a New World Order. . .A world where the United Nations, freed from a Cold War stalemate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders." March 6th, 1991, George Bush Sr. Address to Congress.
"My vision of a New World Order forsees a UN with a revitalized peacekeeping function. It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN charter to which we henceforth pledge our allegiance." February 1st, 1992, Goerge Bush Sr.
"Now, our President faces greater tasks. And he must have help from like-minded men and women in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate who can help him establish the "new world order" he seeks." A quote from an invitation sent to Republican contributors throughout the United States in May 1991.
"The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe." Emeritus professor Daniel Botkin.
"All countries are basically social arrangements….No matter how permanent or even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary….Perhaps national sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all….But it has taken the events in our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world government." July 20, 1992, Time magazine: "The Birth of the Global Nation" by Strobe Talbott (Rhodes scholar roommate of Bill Clinton at Oxford University, CFR director, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace board of directors member, and Trilateralist from a wealthy Ohio investment banking family).
"The goal now is a socialist, redistributionist society, which is nature's proper steward and society's only hope." David Brower, founder of Friends of the Earth.
"In my view, after fifty years of service in the United Nations system, I perceive the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper Earth government. There is no shadow of a doubt that the present political and economic systems are no longer appropriate and will lead to the end of life evolution on this planet. We must therefore absolutely and urgently look for new ways." Dr Robert Muller, UN Assistant Secretary General.
August 26, 1992, The New York Times publishes "The World Needs an Army on Call" by U.S. Senator David Boren (Rhodes Scholar 1963, CFR member, and member of the elite "Skull and Bones" Secret Society) in which he states: "In the aftermath of World War II, President Truman wanted to empower the United Nations to create a new world order… Richard Gardner proposes that forty to fifty member nations contribute to a rapid-deployment force of one hundred thousand volunteers that could train under common leadership… It is time for us to create such a force… The existence of such a force would go a long way toward making the "new world order" more than just a slogan."
Jan 13, 1993: Confirmation hearings are held for CFR member Warren Christopher's nomination to be Secretary of State. He and Senator Joseph Biden discuss the possibility of NATO becoming a peacekeeping surrogate for the U.N. (as later happened in Bosnia) "to foster the creation of a new world order."
"A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation." Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies and scientific advisor to President George Bush.
"What Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new international system….a first step toward a new world order." July 18, 1993:. CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writing in The Los Angeles Times concerning NAFTA.
"There has long been a hidden agenda to merge America and Russia under the New World Order." The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, March 1995, quoting Vladimir Zhirinovsky on Nov 9 1994 at a press conference at the U.N.
Billionaire financier George Soros at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, January 27, 1995 stated that the world needs a "new world order" and "I am here to alert you that we are entering a period of world disorder."
"We require a central organizing principle – one agreed to voluntarily. Minor shifts in policy, moderate improvement in laws and regulations, rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change – these are all forms of appeasement, designed to satisfy the public's desire to believe that sacrifice, struggle and a wrenching transformation of society will not be necessary." Al Gore, Earth in the Balance.
The 1995 report, "Our Global Neighborhood" by The Commission on Global Governance (partly funded by the U.N. Development Program and endorsed by the U.N. Secretary-General) states: "A new world order must be organized… Global governance is the way we manage global affairs… nations have to accept that in certain fields, sovereignty has to be exercised collectively….We need to accept that there may be circumstances within countries when the security of people is so severely violated that external intervention becomes justified. We propose that the U.N. Charter be amended to permit intervention in such circumstances… We believe that there is a need for a highly trained U.N. Volunteer (military) Force… Accelerated progress must be made toward demilitarizing the international society… We strongly endorse community initiatives to … encourage the disarming of civilians…"
"The big threat to the planet is people: there are too many, doing too well economically and burning too much oil." Sir James Lovelock, BBC Interview.
" if we are to avoid catastrophe, a system of world order –preferably a system of world government– is mandatory. The proud nations someday will… yield up their precious sovereignty." A Reporter's Life by Walter Cronkite, 1996.
"the World Trade Organization is creating a world government in which one organization which is totally unelected, wholly secretive….with the power to virtually override and local or national laws if those in any way inconvenience global corporations….It was a terrible shock (to those of us who supported Bill Clinton) when Clinton came in and GATT and NAFTA became the centerpieces of his policy….And in a sense, there was almost a seamless transition from President Bush to President Clinton in that regard….Our democracy has been rendered meaningless by big money. The truth is there are politicians (who) are owned lock, stock and barrel by the big money interests….Our elections create, to some extent, a facade of choice." May 11 1996, David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World (1995) and former Ford Foundation project specialist in Manila, interviewed by Journalist Joan Veon.
"My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with it's full complement of species, returning throughout the world." Dave Foreman, co-founder of Earth First!
May 5, 1998, The New York Times publishes "The New World Order" by A. M. Rosenthal, in which he states: "The U.S., its democratic allies and major dictatorships are rapidly building a new world order… The U.S. gets to sell strategic material to China, offering as an extra a visit by the U.S. President to honor the Communist leaders and expand their power and political life span. Religious and political mavericks in the totalitarian partners of the new world order get prison, or death, often both. The press of the democracies gets to write about the growth of order in the new order. Other citizens of the democracies get to say costs of imported goods are down, how nice. Americans and Europeans may come to object for political or moral reasons, or because the new world order may after all cost them…"
"There is a chance for the President of the United States to use this (9-11) disaster to carry out … a new world order." Gary Hart, at a televised meting organized by the CFR in Washington D.C. just after the 9-11 terror attack, Sept 14, 2001.
"For the first time in my life, I think the formation of some sort of world government is plausible, (and) would involve much more than cooperation between nations. It would be an entity with state-like characteristics, backed by a body of laws … a recent report from the Managing Global Insecurity (MGI) project, whose small U.S. advisory group includes John Podesta, the man heading Mr. Obama's transition team and Strobe Talbott [Rhodes scholar], the president of the Brookings Institution, from which Ms. Rice [Rhodes scholar Susan Rice the US Ambassador to the UN] has just emerged … it talks about 'global governance' rather than world government, but Jacques Attali, an advisor to President Nicholas Sarkozy of France, argues that: 'Global governance is just a euphemism for global government.' … So, it seems, everything is in place. For the first time since homo sapiens began to doodle on cave walls, there is an argument, and opportunity and a means to make serious steps towards a world government." Gideon Rachman: former BBC journalist, in an article entitled "And Now For A World Government" Financial Times.

Ribbons reefs, prawns at dusk, fish most meals, coconuts for brunch & good company, what a trip! We set north up in the ribbons reefs early September with the Back to Basic Adventure boys and the crew. The ribbons are out along the shelf off Cooktown, were they produce the best Cairns spearfishing has to offer.
The goal was to chase the dream fish, dogtooth tuna. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side , so we stuck behind the shelter and speared massive bommies and shallow lagoons. The dogtooth tuna are out the front of reefs and are in deep gullies in between shallow shoals, but the chop and swell was to harsh. So we stuck to the reef species – trout, green jobfish, mangrove jack and crays. The Back2Basic crew got some awesome action for their social media fans and upcoming tv show.

Scale The Summit
Carving Desert Canyons
One listen. That's all it took me to be impressed by Scale The Summit. Maybe that's why they've been stirring up so much buzz in the scene overseas, or maybe it's that they've taken the often all-too-boring instrumental rock premise and crafted an album fitting to the attention spans of today's scenesters? Where Pelican relies on often mammoth-length songs to produce a stunning instrumental landscape for the perfectionists, and Don Caballero take heavy use of polyrhythms as a writing device, Scale The Summit takes both and stuffs it with so much detail and intricate fretwork that it's just not possible to be bored regardless of where you are currently on the album.
The way Scale The Summit accomplishes this is through a changing style on almost song-on-song basis - sometimes even withing the song itself. On one moment the band sounds like Protest The Hero without a singer ("Sargasso Sea"), taking full advantage of raw technical ability and jaw-dropping melody, and the next track you've got guitars leaning distinctly into extrem metal ("Dunes"), which recalls the best moments from Between The Buried And Me's magnificent "Colors". Then you've got the adventurous, playful guitar/bass interplay in "The Great Plains" that could've been straight off Damiera's "M(US)IC", and they're more of an experimental post-hardcore band than anything to do with metal. And what would you say if I'd say that the band has mastered temperatures through their music? You'd probably look at me and call me crazy, but it's interesting how a song like "Dunes" has an intriguingly 'cold' feel to it, whilst "Age Of The Tide" offers much warmer guitar sound and more vivid, perhaps somewhat busier soundscape, helped by the stupifyingly good bass-work, perfectly audible as if this was a raspy punk rock record or something.
But don't you worry with the punk reference, the production is damn near pitch-perfect here, allowing the band to live up to their name in scaling their guitars back and forth hundreds and hundreds of times for the duration of the record. "Carving Desert Canyons" is the type of album that's almost impossible to turn off once you've pressed play on the first song, it's as much an attention-grabber as it is an exercise in artistic completeness and the interplay of inner/outer beauty. To put it short, it's basically Protest The Hero meets Between The Buried And Me, only without any singing whatsoever.

JAM Magazine Concert Reviews
Review by Roy Turner
Photos by Benjamin Twichell
Zion I And The Grouch
West Coast hip-hop crew Zion I & The Grouch have teamed up again to follow up 2006's Heroes in the City of Dope with the new LP Heroes in the Healing of the Nation. The new effort features guest shouts from Freeway, Fashawn, Casual, Mystic, Eligh, and many others.
The album has been praised among hip-hop circles for its pioneering sound (provided in large part by Amp Live's creative skills) as well as the positive messages it provides in a world of hip-hop lacking just that. It is one of the few hip-hop albums that have absolutely no swear words, and thus can reach a much larger segment of the youth culture with its mature and positive messages.
A lot of folks talk a big game about making the world a better place, but West Coast rap stalwarts Zion I & The Grouch have dedicated a major part of their tour to actually making it happen. Their "Healing of the Nation Tour" is donating portions of all the tickets sold to local non-profit organizations along their tour route. In Park City, the donation is going to Arts-Kids, a group dedicated to helping at-risk kids via artistic expression.
The tour is a testament to the lessons and messages Zion I and The Grouch address in their album -- with each stop of the tour having a different local charity attached to it.
AmpLive of Zion I entered from stage left with his MPC guitar - an odd contraption that sent oohs through the crowd. The set began with the new album's first track Invitation featuring the poetic words of Brother Ali. Zumbi and the Grouch followed in AmpLive's footsteps, entering the stage for the second track off the album: "Leader." After playing several more tracks off the new album, AmpLive picked up his MPC guitar again and completely surprised the crowd with some DubStep. On top of the live DubStep, Zumbi and Deuce Eclipse laid down freestyles; I was blown away by this whole sequence of events.
The rest of the set was a suite of new tracks, and Zion I's biggest hits - Coastin', Don't Lose Ya Head, etc. Codany Holiday's vocals were incredible, often sounding more like an instrument than a human voice. Mid-performance, the music stopped and the Grouch began talking about the purpose of the tour - to heal the nation. He encouraged moderation in drug use, and cut himself short before he disapproved too heavily of certain lifestyles in the room. Zumbi backed up the Grouch's talking points and elaborated on the concept of healing through music. And then Healing of the Nation, the most epic song off the new album - which sounds more like a heavy rock song than hip hop but is absolutely spectacular - was sparked and the crowd went into another frenzy.

General Discussion: LSO & (Film Composer) Most Times? Last Post
Posted: Aug 10, 2022 - 5:31 AM
By: KeV McG (Member)
I know John Williams helped put them back on the map, in the late 70s, with his acclaimed and top-selling soundtrack to STAR WARS (and many more high-profile blockbusters between them would follow), but which film composer has recorded their scores with this esteemed orchestra the most.
My guess (which is probably wrong) is Philippe Sarde, who seems to have used them countless times over the years for his scores.
Alex Desplat has used them a lot too, but that's only in more recent times.
Anyone know for sure?
By: Nicolai P. Zwar (Member)
I think the London Symphony Orchestra has been among the foremost orchestras in the world long before John Williams recorded STAR WARS, and it had (and still has) a superb reputation among classical music lovers, but it's true that STAR WARS put it back on the map as the go to classical orchestra for big Hollywood spectacles.
I have not double count the gigs, but Philippe Sarde seems to have indeed recorded a lot with them, 17 scores altogether, and John Williams 14. Wikipedia has this list to offer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Symphony_Orchestra_filmography
Cool list (although it does include re-recordings, like BRAINSTORM & RIO CONCHOS, which aren't the actual/original film scores proper).
James Horner has about 16 credits and Desplat is the winner, with over 20 collaborations.
Actually, they are. They are the actual original/film scores proper. They are just not the original film recordings of these scores.
Williams also re-recorded THE FURY with the LSO, the actual film recording was done in L.A.
I wasn't saying they weren't the proper scores (or didn't mean to), just that they weren't the actual recordings used in the film, but recorded at a later date (MUCH LATER in terms of RIO CONCHOS) for available release purposes.
I knew what I meant Nic
I wasn't saying they weren't the proper scores (or didn't mean to)
Yeah, but you were literally saying they weren't the proper scores (Quote: "like BRAINSTORM & RIO CONCHOS, which aren't the actual/original film scores proper"). :-)
just that they weren't the actual recordings used in the film, but recorded at a later date (MUCH LATER in terms of RIO CONCHOS).
I thought that's what you meant, which is why I just wanted to align it with what you said. :-)
By: Stefan Schlegel (Member)
Actually, there are several Sarde scores missing in this list which were also performed by the LSO.
Here are some which come to mind:
- BAROCCO (1976)
- MORT D´UN POURRI (1977)
- LA GUERRE DU FEU (1981)
- STELLA (1983)
- J ´AI ÉPOUSÉ UNE OMBRE (1983)
- HAREM (1985)
- RENDEZ- VOUS (1985)
- DIS-MOI OUI (1995)
- ALICE ET MARTIN (1998)
- ENTRE CHIENS ET LOUPS (2002)
Which would make it a two-way battle between the French Dudes.
Both having recorded with the LSO 20 + times.
By: Undecided Zebra (Member)
Also as a minor point around time of Supergirl recording approx 70% of The National Philharmonic Orchestra was made up of LSO and former Players.
Yes, the National Philharmonic Orchestra had lots of players from the top orchestras of London, including very prominently the London Symphony Orchestra. (Just as the Sinfonia of London.)
By: Spymaster (Member)
Only the best for LINK! ;-)
No we need to reframe this so French don't win, as we established The National Philharmonic was mostly L.S.O players so therefore Goldsmith wins with over 26 scores . Order has been maintained.
Posted: Aug 10, 2022 - 1:36 PM
By: johnonymous86 (Member)
Does anyone have any information on either the National Philharmonic or the Sinfonia of London? Perhaps an online history or something to that effect? I see both of these orchestras listed in some of my favorite recordings and outside of what I've read about them on here (recording orchestras, lots of players from the LSO and other well-known ensembles in London) I can't find a lot of information.
I guess I'm just curious about how the organizations were set up. Was it contract only? Who was in charge of determining who played in the orchestras? Nerdy music stuff like that, etc etc.
Yes you are right there appears little info on the internet.I had a friend who worked with Sidney Sax who was the orchestras main contractor and former concert master and worked with jerry Goldsmith on most of his scores with the orchestra in the 1980s and 1990s,I was fortunate to attend the recording of Supergirl at All saints church tooting. The orchestra was made up of mostly the L.SO the star to me being Maurice Murphy. Goldsmith appeared to know them all very well and he often requested particular players, Sidney sax was the Mr Fix it it would appear.The orchestra was essentially a contract one with a pool of mainly london players who earned additional income from their main orchestras.

Allard Baird
Allard Baird (/ˈælərd ˈbɛərd/; born November 8, 1961) is an American professional baseball executive for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB), currently vice president and assistant general manager for scouting and player development. Baird previously held executive positions with the Kansas City Royals and Boston Red Sox.
Born: (1961-11-08) November 8, 1961 (age 57)
Rochester, New Hampshire
New York Mets (2018–present)
Baird grew up in Rochester, New Hampshire, where he played baseball for the Spaulding High School Red Raiders. He played college baseball at Southern Arkansas University (SAU) in 1985, coached at SAU in 1986, and then was the head coach at Broward Community College in 1987.[1][2] Baird was inducted to the SAU hall of fame in 2012.[1]
Kansas City RoyalsEdit
Baird spent 18 years in the Kansas City Royals organization, starting as the hitting coach for Class A Appleton of the Midwest League in 1988.[3] He worked his way up the executive ladder, including serving as an assistant to the GM (1998) and assistant GM (1999–2000).[4]
Baird replaced Herk Robinson as the Royals' general manager on June 17, 2000. Baird's job was a difficult one: taking a small-market, losing-record team and trying to compete against teams like the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox.
During his six full years as general manager, Baird traded away popular players Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltrán, and Jermaine Dye with many Royal fans feeling that the team didn't get equal value. He also signed free agent Juan González to a one-year, $4 million contract, but he played only 33 games due to a back injury.[5]
After a poor start to the 2006 Royals season, Baird was fired on May 31 and replaced by Dayton Moore. During Baird's tenure, the team amassed a win-loss record of 381–576 (.398), including three 100-loss seasons and only one winning season (2003). The Royals did lead MLB in hits for the 2000 season.[6]
Boston Red SoxEdit
Baird joined the Boston Red Sox in 2006 as an assistant to the general manager after his firing in Kansas City, and later was named vice president and director of professional scouting. Baird later became the senior vice president of player personnel,[7] serving under President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski. The Red Sox won the World Series three times during Baird's time with the team; 2007, 2013, and 2018.
New York MetsEdit
On November 28, 2018, Baird was hired by the New York Mets, to work for new general manager Brodie Van Wagenen.[8]

Plastic, Reconstructive Surgeon a First on St. Thomas
Oct. 7, St. Thomas' first-ever board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon joined The Roy L. Schneider Hospital staff this week.
According to a release from the hospital, Dr. Errol James, a native of Trinidad, opened his new office in St. Thomas Wednesday. He comes to the territory from New York where he has had a practice in plastic and reconstructive surgery at various hospitals in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Long Island. He has also been assistant clinical professor in Medicine at Columbia University in New York for the past 11 years.
"We are extremely pleased and proud to have such a qualified physician join our staff," Rodney E. Miller, president and CEO of the hospital, said. "Now, people who choose to have plastic or reconstructive surgery done do not have to leave the island, but can have these operations performed right here," he said.
James spent 22 years in New York and now has decided to come "home" to the Caribbean. He will be the first physician certified by the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to operate on the island, Miller said.
In addition to plastic surgery, Dr. James is board-certified in emergency medicine by the American Board of Emergency Medicine, and as such has helped the Roy L. Schneider Hospital Emergency Room at various times during the last three years, Miller said.
"I am very familiar with the hospital and am pleased to be here," Dr. James said. Commentating on the booming interest in plastic surgery, Dr. James said its popularity has also risen in the Caribbean. He added that plastic surgery is not just about improving appearances.
"We also help diabetics with wounds, trauma victims after motor vehicle accidents and burns, and people with a need for reconstruction after cancer surgeries such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy. We also treat various skin conditions such as skin tumors, and basal and squamous cell cancers. There is definitely a need for qualified plastic surgeons in the territory and I am happy to fill that need," he said.
Dr. James' office is on the second floor of the Sherpa Building, 9602 Estate Thomas (above Shoe Zone Mandela Circle). For more information, call 776-2529.

Olympic gold medalist surprises elementary school students in Auburn
Published: Jan. 25, 2020 at 8:18 AM EST
A surprise guest at an Auburn elementary school got rounds of applause at a school assembly.
Fairview Elementary school is participating in Winterkids Winter Games and Seth Wescott snowboard cross Olympic gold medalist spoke Friday during the assembly.
Wescott says it's great to see so many kids getting involved.
Wescott says "To me that's the most gratifying thing, is to know that we're continuing to reach new generations of kids and also like knowing some of those who got involved in those first few years and like it's a part of their life now because of it."
Wescott even got to tell kids the name of their new school mascot, a tiger.
