British Airways flies direct from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London City to Ibiza Airport.
Fly to Ibiza (IBZ) with British Airways and explore one of Europe's most popular island getaways. Famous for its summer season parties, Ibiza also has medieval villages in its interior, out of the way beaches and centuries of history in its ancient capital, Ibiza Town.
For daytime activities away from the island's many beaches, San Jordi's large flea market sells traditional Balearic crafts, while Ibiza Town's old market and active fishing port make it a great place to eat fresh seafood. Flights to Ibiza are also a convenient way of reaching the smaller, quieter island of Formentera, which is just half an hour from Ibiza Town by ferry.
British Airways flights from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London City take 2 hours 25 minutes.
We fly direct up to six times a week from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London City, providing award winning service and a generous 23kg checked baggage allowance.
Fly non-stop to Ibiza and explore a varied island that contains both famous nightclubs and secluded beaches. For added convenience, you can check in for your flight online or via your mobile phone, and select your choice of seats up to 24 hours in advance.
Ibiza airport lies five miles from Ibiza Town and is connected to it by a regular bus service. Buses run between the island's major towns, such as San Antonio and santa Eulalia, while Ibiza's small size means that taxis are relatively affordable even for longer distances across the island.
Ibiza's compact airport offers a small but dependable selection of places to eat and shop. Before security, Ars serves sandwiches, juices and other light meals in the departures area, while after security Illy Caffé serves Italian-style espresso with runway views. Duty free shopping is on offer in the departure lounge.
Video blogger (vlogger) Emily Hartridge took a trip to Ibiza for some sun, sand and relaxation. She also found time to sample the nightlife – see how she got on below.

Air Shave Gel
Air Shave Gel is a nonlathering, glycerin-based shaving gel whose concentrated formula allows for a close shave.
Tend Skin Liquid
This is a toner-like product that contains a lot of isopropyl alcohol, which can be drying and irritating to skin.
Add to Faves?
Tend Skin At-A-Glance
Strength: Shaving gel.
Weakness: Tend Skin Liquid.
There isn't a whole lot to Tend Skin because they sell only two products, one a plus and one a minus. Perhaps the most stunning comment is the fact that their namesake product, meant to soothe freshly shaved and irritated skin, carries a warning that it is flammable because of its alcohol content! That makes me burn just thinking about it!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in endotherms. Hibernation refers to a season of heterothermy that is characterized by low body temperature, slow breathing and heart rate, and low metabolic rate. Although traditionally reserved for "deep" hibernators such as rodents, the term has been redefined to include animals such as bears and is now applied based on active metabolic suppression [1] rather than based on absolute body temperature decline. Many experts believe that the processes of daily torpor and hibernation form a continuum and utilize similar mechanisms.[2] Hibernation during the summer months is known as aestivation. Some reptile species (ectotherms) are said to brumate, or undergo brumation, but any possible similarities between brumation and hibernation are not firmly established.
Often associated with low temperatures, the function of hibernation is to conserve energy during a period when sufficient food is unavailable. To achieve this energy saving, an endotherm will first decrease its metabolic rate, which then results in a decreased body temperature.[2] Hibernation may last several days, weeks, or months depending on the species, ambient temperature, time of year, and individual's body condition.
Before entering hibernation, animals need to store enough energy to last the entire winter. Larger species become hyperphagic and eat a large amount of food and store the energy in fat deposits. In many small species, food caching replaces eating and becoming fat.[3] Some species of mammals hibernate while gestating young, which are either born while the mother hibernates or shortly afterwards.[4]
For example, the female polar bear goes into hibernation during the cold winter months to give birth to her offspring. She loses 15-27% of her pre-hibernation weight and uses stored fats for energy during times of food scarcity, or hibernation. It is evident that pregnant female polar bears significantly increased body mass prior to hibernation, and this increase is further reflected in the weight of their offspring. The fat accumulation prior to hibernation in the female polar bear enables them to provide a sufficient and warm nurturing environment for their newborn.[5]
Part of a series on |
Animal dormancy |
While hibernation has long been studied in rodents, namely ground squirrels, no primate or tropical mammal was known to hibernate prior to the discovery that the fat-tailed dwarf lemur of Madagascar hibernates in tree holes for seven months of the year.[6] Malagasy winter temperatures sometimes rise to over 30 °C (86 °F), so hibernation is not exclusively an adaptation to low ambient temperatures. The hibernation of this lemur is strongly dependent on the thermal behaviour of its tree hole: if the hole is poorly insulated, the lemur's body temperature fluctuates widely, passively following the ambient temperature; if well insulated, the body temperature stays fairly constant and the animal undergoes regular spells of arousal.[7] Dausmann found that hypometabolism in hibernating animals is not necessarily coupled to a low body temperature.[8]
For many decades it remained controversial whether bears actually hibernated, because over-wintering bears only experienced a modest drop in core-body temperature compared to smaller animals. What defines hibernation, however, is not the degree of temperature reduction, but the metabolic suppression. Adult bears can, however, lower metabolic rate to some 75% below basal metabolic rates, which indicates that bears are hibernators. Indeed, northern-most bears will neither eat nor drink for periods as long as 8 months, relying only on stored body-fat reserves for energy and water. Though it is believed that bear hibernation is very different from either rodent or primate hibernation and involves temperature-independent metabolic suppression, because the modest decreases in core temperature do not account for the large decrease in metabolic rate, this belief does not consider the effect of metabolic reductions that can occur through extensive peripheral vasoconstriction. For example, it is known that peripheral tissues contribute as much as 50% to metabolism. This discrepancy alone would be sufficient to account for the `missing´ proportion and without having to resort to more esoteric physiologic mechanism. This effect has been observed in other torpid metabolic states, like diving. In diving penguins and seals, for example, metabolic rate can be lowered without resorting to any core (visceral) temperature decreases merely through extensive vasoconstriction of peripheral tissue beds.
They are able to recycle their proteins and urine, allowing them to both stop urinating for months and stop muscle atrophy.[9][10]
Obligate hibernators are defined as animals that spontaneously, and annually, enter hibernation regardless of ambient temperature and access to food. Obligate hibernators include many species of ground squirrels, other rodents, mouse lemurs, the European hedgehog and other insectivores, monotremes, marsupials, and even butterflies such as the small tortoiseshell.[11] These undergo what has been traditionally called "hibernation": the physiological state where the body temperature drops to near ambient (environmental) temperature, and heart and respiration rates slow drastically. The typical winter season for these hibernators is characterized by periods of torpor interrupted by periodic, euthermic arousals, wherein body temperatures and heart rates are restored to euthermic (more typical) levels. The cause and purpose of these arousals is still not clear.
The question of why hibernators may experience the periodic arousals (returns to high body temperature) has plagued researchers for decades, and while there is still no clear-cut explanation, there are myriad hypotheses on the topic. One favored hypothesis is that hibernators build a 'sleep debt' during hibernation, and so must occasionally warm up in order to sleep. This has been supported by evidence in the arctic ground squirrel.[12] Another theory states that the brief periods of high body temperature during hibernation are used by the animal to restore its available energy sources.[13] Yet another theory states that the frequent returns to high body temperature allow mammals to initiate an immune response.[14]
Hibernating arctic ground squirrels may exhibit abdominal temperatures as low as -2.9 °C, maintaining sub-zero abdominal temperatures for more than three weeks at a time, although the temperatures at the head and neck remain at 0 ˚C or above.[15]
Historically there was a question of whether or not bears truly hibernate, since they experience only a modest decline in body temperature (3-5°C) compared with what other hibernators undergo (32°C+). Many researchers thought that their deep sleep was not comparable with true, deep hibernation. This theory has been refuted by recent research in captive black bears.[16]
Unlike obligate hibernators, facultative hibernators only enter hibernation when either cold stressed or food deprived, or both. A good example of the differences between the two types of hibernation can be seen among the prairie dogs: the white-tailed prairie dog is an obligate hibernator and the closely related black-tailed prairie dog is a facultative hibernator.[17]
Historically, Pliny the Elder believed swallows hibernated, and ornithologist Gilbert White pointed to anecdotal evidence in The Natural History of Selborne that indicated as much. Birds typically do not hibernate, instead utilizing torpor. One known exception is the common poorwill (Phalaenoptilus nuttallii), first documented by Edmund Jaeger.[18][19]
Fish are ectothermic, and so, by definition, cannot hibernate because they cannot actively down-regulate their body temperature or their metabolic rate. However, they can experience decreased metabolic rates associated with colder environments and/or low oxygen availability (hypoxia) and can experience dormancy. For a couple of generations[vague] during the 20th century it was thought that basking sharks settled to the floor of the North Sea and became dormant. Research by Dr David Sims in 2003 dispelled this hypothesis,[20] showing that the sharks actively traveled huge distances throughout the seasons, tracking the areas with the highest quantity of plankton. The epaulette sharks have been documented to be able to survive for long periods of time without oxygen, even being left high and dry, and at temperatures of up to 26 °C (79 °F).[21] Other animals able to survive long periods without oxygen include the goldfish, the red-eared slider turtle, the wood frog, and the bar-headed goose.[22] However, the ability to survive hypoxic or anoxic conditions is not the same, nor closely related, to endotherm hibernation.
Hibernation induction trigger (HIT) is a bit of misnomer. Although research in the 1990s hinted at the ability to induce torpor in animals by injection of blood taken from a hibernating animal, further research has been unable to reproduce this phenomenon. Despite the inability to induce torpor, there are substances in hibernator blood that can lend protection to organs for possible transplant. Researchers were able to prolong the life of an isolated pig's heart with a HIT.[23] This may have potentially important implications for organ transplant, as it could allow organs to survive for up to 18 or more hours, outside the human body. This would be a great improvement from the current 6 hours.
This supposed HIT is a mixture derived from serum, including at least one opioid-like substance. DADLE is an opioid that in some experiments has been shown to have similar functional properties.[24]
Hibernation, and the species that are able to utilize it, have become fantastic models for many different human diseases. Hibernators make natural models for stroke, ischemia-reperfusion injury, diabetes, obesity, and depression.[25][26][27][28]

Saturday, June 20
Comerica Park
Attendance: None
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Miguel Cabrera finished 3-for-5 with a two-run shot and three runs scored as Detroit held off a late charge to top Milwaukee, 9-5, in the middle test of a three-game interleague set from Comerica Park.
Josh Anderson added three hits and drove in a pair for the Tigers, who have won three in a row after losing five of six.
Marcus Thames and Don Kelly each collected three hits and knocked in a run for Detroit, which pounded out 17 hits for the win.
"Everybody's throwing in something now, a few long balls and we're going pretty good. We're swinging the bats really well," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland about his club, which scored 10 runs in a Friday win.
Making his major-league debut in place of the injured Dontrelle Willis, Alfredo Figaro (1-0) yielded eight hits and two runs over five innings, fanning seven with two walks.
Ryan Braun went 4-for-5 with a homer, driving in two and scoring twice for the Brewers, who had swept Cleveland on the road coming in. Craig Counsell added two hits and an RBI.
Dave Bush (3-4) was tagged for seven hits and five runs over just three innings in the loss. He is winless in six starts since May 19.
"There's always a different lineup here, not ones you face over and over again," said Bush about his trouble in navigating the tough Detroit batters. "It's a dangerous all the way through. There will be guys on base but it's up to me to make the pitches and I didn't do that."
Cabrera's two-run shot in the home third boosted Detroit's lead to 5-2, and Placido Polanco began the fifth with a solo homer for a four-run Tigers bulge. Cabrera doubled and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Brandon Inge later in the frame.
In the sixth, the home team tacked on two more runs on consecutive RBI singles from Thames and Kelly for a seven-run advantage.
Milwaukee put together rallies in the seventh and eighth, scoring twice in the former on a bases-loaded walk to Mat Gamel and a Jody Gerut fielder's choice, then once in the latter as Braun singled in Counsell, but it was only 9-5.
Fernando Rodney stopped the Brewers in the ninth, retiring the side in order to preserve the victory.
Milwaukee picked up a run in the second as Gamel singled and J.J. Hardy walked, then Counsell knocked in Gamel with a two-out base hit.
Detroit countered in the home half with three on a two-run single from Anderson and a triple by Gerald Laird, but Braun's leadoff shot in the third made it 3-2.

It's the Spending Stupid!!!Submitted by Wilmington Observer on Wed, 01/02/2013 - 1:24pm.
Everyone is crying about potential cuts to (earned) government benefits such as Social Security and Medicare. I, fully, believe that our country will be in the same boat as Grease if we don't (deeply) cut government spending. But, instead of cutting (earned) benefits, why not cut out the STUPID spending such as the new soccer field at Guantanamo Bay ($750,000) or helping students in Indonesia get a masters degree ($20 million) or a study to see if cocaine causes quail to engage in risky behavior ($175,000) or the BILLIONS of dollars worth of other WASTEFUL spending that you can find by Googling "Stupid Government Spending" Wilmington Observer »

John Travolta was a special presenter at this weekend's 86th annual Academy Awards ceremony, where he was asked to come out on stage and introduce Idina Menzel for her performance of "Let It Go" from Disney's Frozen. This song took home the Oscar for best original song and Menzel's performance was one for the ages, but all we can really remember is how Travolta butchered Idina's name during his introduction. Now he's released an apology statement.
Like Us on Facebook
In a statement released by his publicist, Travolta said:
"I've been beating myself up all day. Then I thought ... what would Idina Menzel say, She'd say, Let it go, let it go! Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!"
Despite starting off as an apology, Travolta quickly turned it into a corny statement as only he could.
There are a few things about this statement that are amazing. The first is that it is not an apology, but just a weird, happy-go-lucky way for John to look like a harmless guy in the situation. Also, it took him a good two days to release the statement, when he pretty much made up a name when introducing Menzel. Lastly, we have no idea if he reached out to Idina about this. Isn't that who should be getting this apology?
"Adela Dazeem" might not sound anything like Idina Menzel's name, but it has taken the Internet by storm. What do you think of this hilarious and unfortunate name mistake from Travolta?

Katie celebrated her freedom — one month after filing for divorce from Tom Cruise — with an impromptu dinner date with a mystery man at NoMad hotel in NYC! Plus, a hotel employee tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY the details of Katie's date! See the pic and read on for all the details!
Katie Holmes was spotted on an intimate dinner date with a mystery man on Friday July 27 — one month after filing for divorce from Tom Cruise. Has Katie moved on already?
Katie appeared in good spirits as she exited NoMad hotel, where the two dined, with a male friend. We must note, the male friend was beaming from ear to ear before he kissed Katie goodnight!
TMZ asked Katie how dinner was and she said, "Great, thank you." Katie also exited the restaurant with no security and no car waiting for her — she took a cab!
An employee at NoMad told HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "I can't get into specifics, but [Katie] did have dinner here last night with a friend and she looked stunning! That's all I can say as we try to protect the privacy of our guests."
Oddly enough, Katie's "friend" happened to be wearing a wedding band, so this dinner could have been a business meeting. And the goodbye kisses weren't too out of the ordinary as they were simply kisses on the cheek.
Aside from this dinner date and landing a new gig on Broadway, Katie has decided to lie relatively low for the time being. Katie reportedly cancelled what would have been her first official public appearance since her divorce, at this Saturday's Dizzy Feet Foundation gala.
What do YOU think of Katie's mystery date, HollywoodLifers?

Katie's lawyer? I don't kiss my lawyer. I shake hands with him.
The guy is goodlooking so maybe Katie is flirting.
Of course she's happy she got miilons for herself and more than $10,000,000.00 for Suri.
Marrying Tom is like a business deal too and Katie is an unknown starlet and I don't think that she could earn those money from her own career.

The smile of Oscar Dorval's face on our front page this week tells it all.
Despite the fact that this young lad is in the fight of his life - for the second time battling cancer - he was in a most happy place last Thursday night, hobnobbing with Sunshine Coast RCMP officers, firefighters and the community members who came out in force to support the annual Ladies Red Serge Gala for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast.
There are many worthy fundraising endevours that the Sunshine Coast community supports throughout the year, but the Ladies Gala is probably one that touches our heart the most.
Cancer is a deadly disease that has touched us all in some shape or form. Many battles have been won through devoted doctors and researches over the years and we are winning this battle, but there is still much to be conquered. That's why it is so heartwarming to see so many folks out supporting this amazing cause and helping kids like Oscar.
This year's riders Const. Kyle Hrynyk and Const. Harrison Mohr were on hand as was most of the RCMP detachment decked out in their finest red serge. Thanks to our community, more than $32,000 was raised - a staggering total and one we should all be proud of.
The Canadian Cancer Society's Cops for Cancer campaign is celebrating 15 years in B.C. and has raised $27 million since 1997.Cops for Cancer donations allow the Society to invest in pediatric cancer research. In addition, the Society is able to deliver information and operate support programs that improve the lives of children with cancer, survivors and their families - like Camp Goodtimes, the acclaimed summer camp at Loon Lake in Maple Ridge. Donations are also used to provide financial aid for travel, accommodation and cancer drugs.
The riders rolled up and down the Coast on Thursday, visiting area schools and spreading a message of hope to the young students. Over the years, the Sunshine Coast detachment has been a huge supporter of the ride, with many officers taking up the challenge.
This year is no different. Hrynyk and Mohr started their fundraising efforts in August with a 'rescue an officer' event in Davis Bay. When they started they didn't have a buddy this year to support in the ride, but they read about Oscar in Coast Reporter and their hearts melted. They knew they wanted to help and sought the little guy out. Needless to say, an instant connection was made and the two RCMP officers have worked extra hard to fundraise and prepare for the 900 km ride.
They have gone that extra mile and so too has our community. It's a nice thing to see.

Don't we have more than enough blaks in america cheating the government in food stamps ,welfare ,section 8 ?Do we really need African blacks to steal more money? Black pastors are more criminal minded than black crackheads.
"We are here today to reorder your thinking," Robert Beatty said, his careful pronunciation banishing doubt with every word. The meticulously dressed, gray-haired publisher of the South Florida Times, an African-American newspaper, stood behind the lectern of the Worldwide Christian Center Church in Pompano Beach.
Behind him sat an unlikely assortment of people: O'Neal Dozier, the church's ultraconservative pastor; two members of a small but extremely wealthy indigenous tribe in South Africa, wearing jackets and ties; a former consultant to the World Bank; and several business owners.
The Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa — the successor to Desmond Tutu — was scheduled to make an appearance by video.
High on the wall, a red, light-up cross hung above the gathering.
"God wants all his children to have abundance," said Beatty, who was serving as the MC of this event, the "Winds of Change Economic Leadership Conference," on the morning of February 18.
In the audience were a few middle-class, mostly black families and individuals, all potential investors. Dozier, the pastor, had been hinting in his services that a new opportunity was coming, that his parishioners could soon make a profit while also helping their brethren in Africa. They could skip one meal a month, perhaps, and use that money to invest in the future of a continent. Though he didn't get into specifics, he had suggested they would soon be able to purchase shares of a new, international project. The churchgoers were waiting for the archbishop to unveil the details.
The archbishop of Cape Town, the Most Rev. Thabo Makgoba, is a spiritual elder in the Anglican and Episcopal churches and an influential figure throughout Africa. Much of his power is left over from Tutu, the human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner who helped end apartheid in segregated South Africa. Now, Makgoba hopes to make his continent a dominant player on the global stage, replacing economic isolation with development and free trade.
The African men up by the altar — a public-affairs man and an investment manager, both short-statured in jackets and ties — didn't look like stereotypical tribesmen from the bush. They hailed from the Royal Bafokeng Nation, a tiny region in the South African countryside that is half the size of Broward County. Its population of 150,000 people speaks mostly Setswana, with English as a second language. The Bafokeng, an indigenous tribal group, are unlike many Africans in that they are financially thriving.
Many African nations have become dependent on foreign aid, which can serve as a set of golden handcuffs for poor countries. When donor countries expect to be paid back in their own, stronger currency, a fluctuation in exchange rates can mean ruinous debts for the poorer country. Tom Cochran, the former World Bank consultant, came prepared with a speech on this problem and on how banks were just starting to learn to lend in a country's local currency.
The Bafokeng, through careful management of funds and several protracted lawsuits, have managed to retain control of their natural resources, whereas other indigenous groups have seen theirs exploited by foreigners. From lucrative mining royalties, they have created a multibillion-dollar sovereign investment fund. The Bafokeng manage all this wealth with a secular, Western attention to the bottom line: Nowhere in their business literature is there a mention of God or divine mandate. They are simply looking after their own worldly fortune.
Their representatives were poker-faced as Beatty got religious.
"Through spiritual economics, we will deprive the locusts of the rich natural resources of Africa," he said, paraphrasing Exodus.
The crowd hushed as the archbishop appeared on two giant video screens on either side of the altar. Surrounded by foliage somewhere on a Cape Town hillside, the kind-faced figure beamed down at the audience, wearing his Anglican shirt and collar.
"In my opinion, Royal Bafokeng Holdings is the most successful group in the world," he said. He introduced "Winds of Change," a new investment plan, and explained that the Bafokeng would serve as a model. He hoped to round up capital not just from black-owned companies but from African-Americans around the world who are looking for a meaningful and lucrative connection to their ancestral home.
The pastor, O'Neal Dozier, had signed on as the project's North American president. Far away from the archibishop and the Bafokeng, he would be the public figurehead representing this bold and vague new initiative, using the power of his words and persuasion to do the archbishop's work. It was an appointment that showed great confidence. "We will launch the initiative on June 19, when I come to the United States," said the archbishop on the screen. "Until then, you are in the good hands of Dr. O'Neal Dozier."
It was, in some ways, an incongruous partnership: the archbishop — an activist and diplomat, who was known for his spirit of inclusion and had even pioneered discussions of welcoming gays into the church (a radical concept in Africa) — partnering with Dozier, who in 27 years of preaching has offended gays, Muslims, whites, and blacks. Although Dozier is disarmingly kind and attentive to his parishioners, his politics are somewhat to the right of the guy who burned the Qur'an.
"We're going to preach the bishop's plan across all of North America," Dozier told the crowd. "This is an exciting time."
To Dozier, this was the golden opportunity he had long been waiting for, a chance to take his Worldwide Christian Center Church truly worldwide. He wants to be on TV in Africa before he dies and to let the whole world know that every word written in the King James Bible is good and true. And all of that requires money.
Travel the rolling farms and low-slung neighborhoods around the town of Phokeng, in South Africa's North West Province, and you'll come across a strange vision: a 45,000-seat stadium on the horizon. If you watched the 2010 World Cup, you have already seen it: a small tribal nation's prosperity made visible to the world.
Royal Bafokeng Stadium belongs to a modern-day tribe with a curious history. In the late 1800s, black people in South Africa were not able to own land; that was a privilege reserved for whites. Young Bafokeng men traveled on foot to the newly opened diamond mines at the continent's southern tip. When they returned home, the Bafokeng king collected a portion of their earnings and passed it on to a sympathetic Lutheran priest, who agreed to buy large tracts of farmland on the Bafokengs' behalf. After the priest died, the land was transferred to the state to be held in trust for the Bafokeng, as it remains today.
The Bafokeng turned out to be sitting on top of one of the world's largest platinum reserves, which was discovered in 1920. Companies swooped in for a piece of the treasure, but Bafokeng leadership fought for a share of the profits, paid as royalties. In 1999, the Bafokeng reached a court settlement with South African mining giant Implats, granting the community a 22 percent royalty from all proceeds and a stake in the company.
The income is invested into a sovereign wealth fund, Royal Bafokeng Holdings, which today has assets of nearly $4.5 billion. The king, Leruo Molotlegi, looks like an average Western businessman, and government employees pass out business cards embossed with a sleek logo. The Bafokeng are part owners of the telecommunications company Vodacom, shipping company DHL Express, and many mining interests. Profits go back to the government and are reinvested in community services like schools and roads as well as the shiny stadium. It's contemporary capitalism for the benefit of a monarchy whose policies seem fairly socialist.
When the archbishop saw the Bafokeng stadium during the World Cup, inspiration struck.
Thabo Makgoba, 52 years old, had been looking to build a legacy as archbishop that would measure up to Desmond Tutu's. By now, though, the evils of enforced colonialism and apartheid had been largely vanquished. Instead of battling apartheid or colonialism, the inequality that Makgoba chose to fight is economic.
He has indicated that he wants to allow indigenous people to profit just as much as the diamond companies and oil companies that stake their claim in African soil and send the profits off to America, Russia, or China. The world has advanced through global free markets, and if Africa wants to stop being the victim, it will have to participate.
The archbishop met with King Molotlegi and other officials and introduced his plan: The church and the government could partner with private interests to guide new businesses in local communities and help them take advantage of natural resources like timber and minerals. He envisioned indigenous people working at all levels of business and profits being reinvested locally.
The king agreed to work with him. But to replicate the Bafokengs' success elsewhere, they would need guidance, capital, and experienced managers who knew about global financial markets. For that, they would look to America.
Through a mutual acquaintance, the archbishop met a large, commanding American businessman from Jacksonville, Florida: Julius Jackson Sr. Jackson had proved himself adept at finding wealth in the midst of great poverty. In 2002, President Bush unveiled a plan called the Millennium Challenge Corp., which provides large-scale grants to poor countries. Jackson, who had done business in the former Zaire in the mid-1980s (before it became the Democratic Republic of the Congo), saw opportunity and created Millennium Group Worldwide, a faith-based, for-profit company.
Jackson says his company organized many infrastructure projects funded by the grants, including the construction of fuel-distribution and fire-suppression systems in Angola around 2008. "We put an emphasis on ultimate [African] ownership of the enterprise," he says. "We get a development fee, but they have ownership in the long term."
One corporate filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission reveals a 2008 draft contract between Millennium Group and the governor of Bas Congo, a province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It calls for a new partnership to control mining and all natural resources, promising that Jackson's company will "help to convert, whenever possible, the resources... to a form that maximizes the benefits to Bas Congo and the region." However, Serge Tshamala, an economic counselor at the D.R. Congolese embassy in Washington, D.C., says he is unaware of any such partnership ever taking effect.
Once Jackson met with the archbishop and with officials from Royal Bafokeng Holdings, he offered up a new Jacksonville-based company, African Business Development Group, to carry out the business end of the archbishop's plan on the ground in Africa.
A member of O'Neal Dozier's church suggested to Jackson that he meet the pastor, who might be able to round up investors. Dozier says he initially turned down the invitation. But Jackson called him again and put him in touch with the archbishop. Eventually, he accepted, buoyed by the prospect of making money and spreading his gospel message to Africa and beyond. Now he had a new title, one that could enable his dreams of acquiring both money and global influence.
"I am the president," Dozier said recently in his trademark slow diction, touched by a Southern twang. "My official title is 'President of the North American Sector of Archbishop Makgoba's Economic Development Initiative for Indigenous Africans and the Diaspora..." — he paused for a breath — "and the Friends of the Diaspora.'"
The walls of Dozier's church office tell a story of his life. In one corner are pictures of him in college football uniforms and later, Army uniforms. Next to them, a certificate of honorable discharge. Books from his law-school days. A collection of anti-Islam writings and a plaque from an anti-abortion group. On the desk is a metal sculpture of Atlas, lifting the world on his shoulders. On a shelf: a tall-masted model sailing ship and a TWA jet, poised for takeoff.
Dozier, tall and lean, relaxes in a chair as he talks. He's wearing black slacks and a white T-shirt, translucent over a tank top. His giant hands are adorned with rings and a gold watch. His head, small for his gym-toned body, appears youthful, although the hairline of his flat-top has crept improbably backward. He is wearing sunglasses indoors.
He has been in the blue-collar town of Pompano Beach, originally an agricultural center, for most of his life. He arrived here, he says, "on a migrant farm bus" from South Carolina in 1955, when he was 7 years old. His family moved into a nearby migrant workers' camp. At midcentury, Florida was deeply segregated, and the prospects for black farmers' sons were dim.
"I had a choice to go the way of many of the people I grew up with," Dozier says. "But I decided not to go that way. I do not like poverty."
At nearby Blanche Ely High School, he played football and basketball. He moved on to play football in college, then professionally for a stint. He earned his J.D. from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta. He was drafted to serve in Vietnam, he says, and then volunteered to go back for a second tour with the Army in Germany. While overseas, his official church biography adds, "he competed in and won several European bodybuilding contests."
The law degree was prestigious, but Dozier says he found his calling to serve God. In fact, his looks and demeanor make it hard to imagine his doing anything else. Dozier opened his church 27 years ago and started scaring people away with his sermons until the only ones left were those who would truly listen to every word he had to say.
"My granddaddy used to tell me, 'One who will not tell the truth when they know they should tell the truth is a liar,'" says Dozier. Thus, burdened with knowing that the sinners would be punished, he felt compelled to warn his congregation and began mixing sociopolitical issues into his homilies. He dwelled on the passages of the Bible that have been glossed over by pastors more tolerant of gays, Islam, abortion, Democrats, or women's liberation. When other black churches were celebrating the election of Barack Obama, the pastor was there to, as he puts it, "quench the fire." A typical sermon at Dozier's church may include a rousing, hand-clapping celebration of the scriptural verse that says a woman should be meek and obey her husband. He once held a public funeral for an aborted fetus.
His conservatism and relentless networking have earned him friends in high places. A wall in the office is covered with framed pictures of the pastor meeting dignitaries, religious leaders, and politicians: Dozier with Jeb Bush. Dozier with George W. Bush. Dozier blessing Charlie Crist, dark-skinned hand pressing down upon the white-haired head. When Jeb was governor, he named Dozier to a judicial nominating committee, where the pastor helped choose judges who would support conservative and religious principles. "Jeb befriended me," he recalls fondly. "He saw me as an asset."
For every friend Dozier has made, there are people who despise every word that comes out of his mouth. And that's just the way he likes it: Jesus, he says, was also hated and feared in his lifetime. So Pastor Dozier plays chicken with the world.
In January, when then-presidential candidate Rick Santorum named Dozier as an adviser to his campaign and visited the church, national media outlets dug up the pastor's old quotes on homosexuality. In particular, his statements at the Reclaiming America for Christ Conference that homosexuality is an act so nasty and disgusting that... well...
"I said that in the eyes of God, homosexuality is an abomination. What does that mean? Something very nasty and disgusting in the sight of God. What is the effect of something nasty and disgusting? It gives you the feeling of wanting to vomit." So, forever after, this is a man who says gay sex makes God want to vomit.
In his typical mode of preaching, he takes a short passage from the Bible and spends many minutes dissecting it into its component parts, reaching back to Hebrew translations in search of an undeniable and unambiguous Truth. When this leads him to say outlandish things, so be it. It's right there in the book.
Dozier believes that churches should play a role in supporting the poor, and he continually raises money for victims of natural disasters and the homeless. But he's also a staunch free-market capitalist who is tough on those who don't help themselves. To those who depend on government assistance, he asks, "How much more do you want from us?" He reads Matthew's Parable of the Talents, in which a traveling aristocrat entrusts his servants with his savings and rewards those who trade and increase their holdings, as a straightforward argument that the rich who invest should get richer than the poor who don't.
For Dozier, a focus on working to make money can erase even racial prejudice. "America only sees money. It doesn't see color," he says. He claims he has never once been discriminated against because of the color of his skin.
Dozier says his controversial remarks have cost him a larger audience. He could be preaching to thousands every Sunday morning, amplified across a megachurch, he says, if only his message were a little softer. But the attraction of admiring masses isn't the kind of power that Dozier wants, not after all these years of shrugging off liberals and failures and pretenders. He's after something stronger.
"I'm someone who fears God more than man," he explains. "I've pretty much been kicked out of everything I've been in. When a man embraces me, he has to be ready for the part of me that doesn't compromise."
As the months passed after the February conference, Dozier prepared for the archbishop to visit his church. He imagined a scene: the archbishop wearing his ceremonial robes and hat and all the members of his church wearing traditional African attire. Dozier said meeting the archbishop was "highly important" to him, maybe "even more so than being involved with the president of the United States." He predicted that the archbishop, through his initiative, would "end up being more recognizable and famous in the long run than Tutu."
But in June, there was a change of plans. The archbishop would now visit Jacksonville and be hosted by Jackson, not Pompano Beach, hosted by Dozier. So Dozier was left to book a flight north to meet the archbishop in person.
On the evening of June 18, the Most ReverendThabo Makgoba entered a squarish building in a Jacksonville office park off I-95 to hold a news conference and make the official American announcement of the Winds of Change initiative. He walked down the second-floor hallway, past a table of refreshments, to a conference room. Wearing a purple silk shirt and clerical collar under a pinstriped suit, he entered the room leaning forward, gently beaming, shaking hands with the businessmen gathered to greet him.
The small room was set up with 25 chairs in rows. Pine trees swayed in the sun outside the window. A couple of TV cameramen set up their cameras. There was a podium at the front of the room, bedecked with the heavily Photoshopped Winds of Change logo: a globe, flags, the outlines of America, South Africa, and Florida.
The office belonged to Environmental Services Inc., a consulting firm headed by Isaac Rhodes Robinson Jr., a rotund Southerner with a mop of gray-white hair. Robinson is Julius Jackson's longtime partner, and his company specializes in helping builders meet environmental standards while plowing ahead with their projects. Through a process called mitigation, developers are often given permission to build on one land so long as they conserve another, comparable land at another site. Some developers just buy mitigation credits, paying someone else to do the conserving. Environmentalists say it's essentially a shell game, but it is totally legal. For all the talk about spiritual kinship, Robinson and Jackson — like any smart businessmen — simply take advantage of the opportunities before them.
Environmental Services is behind one of the first deals to go through under the Winds of Change banner. Robinson did not respond to interview requests, but in the conference room, he revealed a few details: They were moving a million acres of tribal-owned forested land onto the global carbon-credits market to make money for the landowners. Carbon credits work like mitigation credits: Companies that emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere can "offset" them by buying carbon credits; the money is ostensibly used to preserve tracts of forest in some other locale.
To date, this is the only Winds of Change project that has been disclosed in detail. Jackson told the crowd that investment opportunities would be announced as they became available and that the global accounting firm Deloitte & Touche had been retained to oversee every dollar that goes in and out, to maintain transparency.
"This moment will be a turning point," the archbishop said as he took the podium. He again quoted the Exodus verse about driving the locusts out of Africa. He said he was committed to making sure the project was well-administered: "As an archbishop, I have to be unashamedly ethical and be a good steward. We want Africa to thrive. That is my vision. That is my dream."
After leaving the podium, he explained why he had chosen Dozier to lead his economic mission.
"He is a pastor who is close to some of the people we're working with," he said, adding, "He can articulate the biblical values of transparency, honesty, and showing 'love your neighbor.' Sometimes I do not agree with him in terms of content, but he is speaking where it can be heard."
Eventually, the executives led Makgoba back down the hallway, where he paused to answer a final question. Would his initiative take him to other places like this around the world, to partner with other businesses? Was Jacksonville, Florida, just one stop of many?
"No," said the successor to Desmond Tutu, smiling warmly. "This is our home. It is our Bethlehem." With that, he followed his hosts downstairs and rode off to dinner in a silver Chevy Tahoe.
Dozier missed the news conference. His delayed flight was just touching down as the event ended. He would meet the archbishop at dinner. But if anyone had noticed his absence, no one had made a big deal out of it.
"They didn't even mention me," said Dozier, back in his church a week later. He sounded frustrated: His controversial past had started to worry the project's organizers.
Dozier had believed that the archbishop knew what he was getting when he signed him up. "The archbishop was looking for a partner who would have the combination of being conservative — very conservative — and involved in the political struggle."
He pulled up a printout of an email Jackson had sent to all of his partners, including Dozier, the Bafokeng, and the archbishop. It urged them not to speak directly to the media.
"Please don't give the media the opportunity to get information that, as we know, they can spin in a way that does not edify the archbishop's cause," Jackson had written. "We want this to maintain a media focus of what can be accomplished in Africa, and not about the roles of the individuals or companies involved."
Dozier realized that Jackson was nervous about the fate of the endeavor. "I think Julius is afraid something's going to nip it in the bud," he said. Some more of Dozier's old quotes, dug up, rehashed, and associated with the archbishop, would not "edify" the cause. But he was still confident, denying that he was a liability: "It would be so easy for the archbishop or Julius Jackson to say, 'You know what? Reverend Dozier is bad for this project, so let's dismiss him.'"
If the archbishop and Jackson had wanted a less-controversial pastor to spread the word about the Winds of Change, they would have had some willing volunteers. The Right Reverend Leo Frade, bishop for the Episcopal church in Miami and Southeast Florida, had been watching the archbishop's plan with interest as a fellow member of the Anglican Communion. Late last year, he even thought he might be asked to help. But then he learned that Dozier had been appointed.
"It disconcerted me," says Frade, who had already heard more than he cared to of the pastor's right-wing talking points and knew they conflicted with the archbishop's public role as a peacemaker. "But I don't think I'm in a position to question the archbishop. I'd say he wants to reach out to all kinds of people, not just the liberal types."
John and Jean Comaroff, two sociologists living in South Africa who have studied the Bafokeng, religion, and African economies, put it a little more bluntly. People in South Africa watch the archbishop's moves very closely, said Jean Comaroff, and "if there's the slightest smell of antigay, it's not going to fly... I think the archbishop is well-intentioned but underinformed."
Of the Bafokeng, she said, "I'm very surprised they're involved [with Dozier]. I can't imagine this fitting into [the king's] idea of theology at all. He's not antigay."
After receiving Jackson's email, representatives of the Royal Bafokeng Nation were reluctant to talk. "It is still very much at the conceptualization stage," said Mpueleng Pooe, the public-affairs director who had visited Dozier's church in February. "There's not a whole lot that we want to be discussing until we have very solid and concrete structures in place." Pooe would not comment specifically about Dozier. But inquiries from New Times seemed to raise concerns about how the small, unlikely tribe would be represented across the ocean.
On July 1, Bernadette Morris, a public-relations representative hired to represent Winds of Change, contacted New Times and said that the Bafokeng leadership did not want to be mentioned in a story that painted the initiative in a negative light. "I think the problem is they're not used to American reporters," Morris said. "It's a very private operation."
Two days later, she called with a follow-up: The winds had indeed changed. Dozier was gone. "The archbishop and some of the other organizers, namely Julius, are shifting around some of the roles in the leadership," said Morris. Dozier was "stepping down" from his role of North American president. A news release said he didn't have enough time to devote to the project.
The preacher was as cordial as ever when reached by phone the day he was dismissed and denied that his departure would affect things much. "This is about the archbishop," he said, "and not about the things I say..."
He paused and gave God the last word.
"... which are in the Bible."
Don't we have more than enough blaks in america cheating the government in food stamps ,welfare ,section 8 ?Do we really need African blacks to steal more money? Black pastors are more criminal minded than black crackheads.
Black Africa has fallen from third world status from when all these African countries got their independence back in the mid-twentieth century to the new fourth world status today! They have gone backwards, while other third world countries have moved foward in varying degrees! Black Africa has always been this money-pit like an old jalopy car that as you put money in it the more money it takes to keep it running! As long as the area is unstable(social/economic/political/ethnic/religious/class structure instability), black Africa will always wallow in the mud! Funny how black leaders throughout Africa from the end of colonialism til now have always blamed "colonialism&America" for their present problems&poverty! How much money has been given since independence to black Africa? The future of that area is still going to be a "nightmare" with ever increasing numbers of people surviving on one-two dollars a day!
Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time...But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshittt story. Holy Shittt! But I want you to know something, this is sincere, I want you to know, when it comes to believing in God, I really tried. I really, really tried. I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fuked up.
george carlin
Wow, anyone buying that this guy wanted Africa to prosper and be enriched ? Africa was the cause, he and his cronies were the only one's that would prosper & be enriched from this ?
This setting would have been better at a Howard Jonhsons,remember 'my house is a house of worship.Give unto Ceasar what's of Ceasar,and to GOD whats of GOD.
@redridinghood The answer to your question is yes but there are far more white and latino on welfare than blacks so whats your point.

Select Income REIT Announces Restructuring Of Management Agreement With RMR And Recommending Annual Election Of All Trustees
Select Income REIT (NYSE:SIR) today announced the restructuring of its management agreement with Reit Management & Research LLC (RMR) and the recommendation to shareholders to have annual election of all Trustees.
Restructuring of Management Agreement with RMR.
SIR and RMR have agreed to restructure their business management agreement as follows:
- The base business management fees paid by SIR to RMR, which are included in SIR's "G&A" expenses, are currently calculated at the annual rate of approximately 0.5% of the gross historical cost of SIR's real estate assets. Beginning in 2014, these fees will be calculated on the basis of the lower of: (i) gross historical cost of SIR's real estate assets or (ii) SIR's total market capitalization. Market capitalization will include the market value of SIR's common shares, plus the liquidation preference of preferred shares and the principal amount of debt. The market value of SIR's common shares will be calculated based on the average shares outstanding multiplied by the average closing share price during the period in which the fees are earned. Accordingly, SIR's fees paid to RMR may decline when the market value of SIR's common shares declines.
- All of the base business management fees currently paid by SIR to RMR are paid in cash. Beginning in 2014, 10% of the base business management fees will be paid in common shares of SIR. The amount of SIR common shares granted as part of the base business management fee will be calculated based on the average closing share price during the period in which the fees are earned. Accordingly, RMR's common share ownership of SIR is expected to increase over time.
- Annual incentive fees payable by SIR to RMR included in SIR's "G&A" expenses are currently calculated based upon increases in funds from operations (FFO) per share and are paid in common shares of SIR which vest immediately. Beginning in 2014, the incentive fees which may be earned by RMR will be calculated based upon total returns realized by SIR common shareholders (i.e., share price appreciation plus dividends) in excess of benchmarks. The benchmarks will be set by the Compensation Committee of SIR's Board (which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees) and will be disclosed in SIR's annual meeting proxy statements. Incentive fees will be paid in common shares of SIR which will vest over a multiyear period and will be subject to a "claw back" in the event of certain material restatements of financial results. Accordingly, the incentive fees payable to RMR are expected to have a direct relationship to total returns realized by SIR common shareholders.
Recommending Annual Election of All Trustees.
The SIR Board of Trustees has determined to recommend to shareholders that SIR's Declaration of Trust be amended to permit the annual election of all Trustees. SIR's Trustees currently serve staggered, three year terms. The proposed amendment to SIR's Declaration of Trust will be presented to SIR's shareholders at SIR's next annual shareholders' meeting in the spring of 2014. If this amendment is approved by SIR's shareholders, all Trustees will thereafter be elected for one year terms.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Obama pressures Romney to break his Mourdock ties
Friday, October 26, 2012
CINCINNATI (AP) — President Barack Obama, seeking to shore up support among women, intensified his pressure Thursday on Mitt Romney to break any ties with a Republican Senate candidate who said that if a woman becomes pregnant from rape it is "something God intended." Romney ignored the emotional social issue, holding to an optimistic campaign tone as he fought for victory in crucial Ohio. |

The Benefits of Short Breaks
Posted By Worker Bee On April 15, 2008 @ 10:05 am In Fitness,Health,Research Analysis,Stress | 10 Comments
It's a long afternoon in the office, and your focus is waning. After staring out the window for a few half-conscious minutes, you tell yourself, "Maybe I'll just get up and take a lap. I'll get some water or see what my buddy is doing down the hall."
It turns out your break is more than just a cubicle "coping mechanism" or even a recharge for a distracted mind. New research out of Australia shows that frequent breaks with even a modest amount of movement (like standing and stretching) have significant physical benefit. The study [7] measured the impact of "light activity" on a number of health markers in 168 healthy adults.
This healthy group, who ranged in age from 30 to 87 years, kept an activity diary and wore an accelerometer during all waking hours for 7 days, the researchers report in Diabetes Care. The accelerometer, worn firmly around the trunk, measured the duration, type, and intensity of physical activity in counts per minute.
The researchers considered accelerometer counts of less than 100 per minute as sedentary periods, and counts of 100 or greater as active time. Light-intensity activity was from 100 to 1951 per minute and counts more than 1951 were periods of moderate-to-vigorous activity.
Overall, participants spent 57, 39, and 4 percent of their waking hours in sedentary, light-intensity, and moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity, respectively. On average, their breaks lasted less than 5 minutes, with accelerometer counts of 514 per minute.
They found that the number of breaks from sedentary activity positively correlated with lower waist circumference, lower triglycerides, and lower 2-plasma glucose scores.
via Medline Plus [8]
While no one is saying those few steps to the water cooler will keep you healthy, it appears frequent "up and about" breaks add to a person's overall picture of health. The breaks, according to researchers, "complement" other kinds of physical activity. Cool, huh?
And it makes total sense. It's unlikely that Grok had the chance to sit and veg in front of the fire for countless hours at a time. At least not to the extent that modern man has seen. The human body is made to move, and plain old, everyday activity counts for something now as it did then. Gardening, cleaning, woodworking, strolling, stretching and sauntering around the neighborhood or office: it all helps. Next time your boss gives you a quizzical look (or evil eye) for making the rounds, tell him/her that Grok's just grooving his body.
Thoughts? Tricks for office breaks? Do share.

Romantic Beach Getaways
Published: August 2013
By Travelandleisure.com Staff
We've mapped easy weekend getaways to romantic beaches, from the rugged dunes of the Oregon Coast to the white sands of Florida.
Sure, strolling hand-in-hand along the beach is cliché. But there's an undeniable romance to being by the ocean.
It's in the salty air, the relaxed pace, small-town charms, and sunsets—preferably enjoyed while on a boat ride. Beach getaways continue to woo couples, and you don't have to fly halfway across the world to find that perfect stretch of sand.
In North Haven, ME, you can bike the island's 30 miles of roads, climb to the top of Ames Knob, laze on the beaches of Mullen Head Park, or explore Main Street, whatever says romance to you. On Georgia's St. Simons Island, the inns overlook historic lighthouses, and pristine white sand stretches for miles.
And the appeal of a seaside vacation continues long after summer ends. For couples eager to avoid sunburns or tired of finding sand in everything they own, smelling the breeze from a bluff high above the Pacific Ocean can be enchanting. Case in point: the private decks at the Brewery Gulch Inn in Mendocino, CA, three hours north of San Francisco.
To help inspire you, we pulled together some of the most romantic beach getaways within driving distance from major U.S. cities. Just make sure you take the right person along for the ride.
