Program Advising and Director
Each year the director of the liberal studies program, in consultation with faculty who teach in the program, select one graduating senior as that year's outstanding student. The recipients of this award have achieved during their time at Wright State a superior academic record, demonstrating both intellectual creativity and effective communication skills. Eager to learn and willing to work hard, these students represent the liberal arts at their best.
Yahziyl N. Palmer
Yahziyl Palmer transferred to Wright State after earning an associate degree at Sinclair Community College. Over the past several years she has pursued her passions, which led her to achieve excellence in diverse fields. Yahziyl's first passion is for learning, both inside and outside of the classroom. While her intellectual curiosity and interdisciplinary interests led her to major in liberal studies, she complemented this degree with programs that prepared her for her chosen vocation. Yahziyl's true passion is to promote community development and cultural awareness in the local African American community and the Dayton region more broadly. She is graduating with a minor in African and African American studies, which reflects her interest in the history and culture of black people as expressed in diverse mediums, including dance, art, and other cultural forms. She is also graduating with a nonprofit leadership alliance certificate, which qualifies her as a Certified Nonprofit Professional. She was elected treasurer of the NLA Student Association, and in this capacity helped organize the association's yearly recognition ceremony which celebrates the accomplishments of community leaders and organizations in the Dayton region. To enhance her skills, Yahziyl interned at several area nonprofits, including Harambee Coffee Roasters and the Dayton Food Bank. And, to study community development and cultural formation in the international context, she traveled to South Africa through USAC, where she participated in Wright LEAD, a cross-cultural community based leadership program for youth. During this program, she worked with local residents to promote community engagement, leadership, and self awareness. After graduation, Yahziyl plans to continue to follow her passions, perhaps working for a regional nonprofit or starting a service agency of her own.

Comedy | 1h 34m
When David (Mark Ruffalo) sublet his quaint San Francisco apartment, the last thing he expected -- or wanted -- was a roommate. He had only begun to make a complete mess of the place when a pretty young woman named Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon) suddenly shows up, adamantly insisting the apartment is hers. David assumes there's been a giant misunderstanding... until Elizabeth disappears as mysteriously as she appeared.
Changing the locks does nothing to deter Elizabeth, who begins to appear and disappear at will -- mostly to rebuke David for his personal living habits in her apartment. Convinced that she is a ghost, David tries to help Elizabeth cross over to the "other side." But while Elizabeth has discovered she does have a distinctly ethereal quality -- she can walk through walls -- she is equally convinced that she is somehow still alive and isn't crossing over anywhere. As Elizabeth and David search for the truth about who she is and how she came to be in her present state, their relationship deepens into love. Unfortunately, they may have little time before their prospects for a future together permanently fade away.

Acrylamide concerns: EU consumer organization calls for stronger consumer protection
06 Mar 2019 --- A new European test by consumer organizations has highlighted that consumers, especially young consumers, should be better protected from cancer-causing acrylamide in their food. To do so, the European Consumer Organization, BEUC, is calling on the European Commission (EC) to lower the current indicative benchmarks for this contaminant and make these binding for food producers.
Acrylamide is a suspected carcinogen that forms in foods with reduced sugar that is processed at a high temperature. Many food manufacturers have already taken steps to reduce acrylamide levels in their products and governments all over the world are starting to pay attention to acrylamide and are implementing new regulations, which include setting benchmark levels and requiring warning signs on foods and beverages that contain acrylamide, such as the California Prop 65 warning.
As part of the European-wide test, ten consumer groups sampled over 500 food products known to contain acrylamide, such as crisps, cookies, coffee or breakfast cereals. The test concluded that cookies and wafers are especially problematic, with a third of samples at or above the current acrylamide benchmarks.
According to the BEUC, such findings are alarming as children under the age of three often consume these products, which are allowed to contain more acrylamide than biscuits intended for infants. However, when checked against the lower benchmark for infant biscuits, almost 2 in 3 regular biscuits tested are not suitable for young children.
The BEUC is also calling on the EC to come up with benchmarks for vegetable crisps. Tests reportedly show that on average crisps made of carrots, beetroots or parsnips contain almost twice as much acrylamide as the potato versions, although they are often perceived as healthier options.
Click to Enlarge"It is possible to produce crisps, chips or cereals with low acrylamide content. But as long as the measures are voluntary, some manufacturers will not take the issue seriously and consumers might still be exposed to high acrylamide levels. To oblige food makers to pay more attention to this contaminant, the EU Commission must set binding limits, as we have repeatedly called for," Monique Goyens, Director General of BEUC comments.
"Many parents give their young children biscuits and wafers that are primarily intended for older children and adults. The commission should then propose to bring down the acrylamide benchmark for regular biscuits, so it gets closer to the one for baby biscuits. That would more effectively protect our little ones, who are most vulnerable to acrylamide effects due to their lower body weight," she explains.
"This test also reveals that vegetable crisps are not as healthy as they seem to be. Until binding limits are set, the commission should at least define indicative benchmarks for acrylamide in these popular snacks to force producers to minimize the presence of this harmful substance."
The good news is that the tests also found crisps, biscuits and chips, with low acrylamide levels, Camille Perrin, Senior Food Policy Officer at the BEUC tells FoodIngredientsFirst. "We are not saying anyone should stop eating anything. We just want the EU to oblige food makers to truly step up their efforts to cut acrylamide in their products."
According to Perrin, it would make sense to perform similar tests in the US for instance, because contrary to the EU's situation, food makers in the US are not even required to do anything about acrylamide in their products. "The US administration only issued guidance on this contaminant in food, which food makers can choose to ignore. Even in Switzerland, there is so far no legislation on acrylamide in food and our Swiss member FRC is calling for similar rules as we have in the EU," she explains.
Under EU rules, food manufacturers, fast-food chains and restaurants must apply measures to ensure acrylamide levels in their products remain below indicative benchmarks. This is a good first step, but what our members' tests showed is that these benchmarks are too lenient. To incentivize additional efforts by food makers, they should be based on the best, not the worst, performers. "Therefore, we call for the benchmarks to be lowered. Second, to make all food manufacturers take the acrylamide issue seriously, we believe these benchmarks should be turned into binding limits," Perrin notes.
"Consumers cannot do anything about processed food, that's why we want the EU rules on acrylamide to be beefed up," she adds. "It's about minimizing consumers' exposure to this cancer-causing contaminant. That is why we advocate for strict acrylamide limits, which would protect consumers more effectively than just another label."
Industry and regulatory responses to acrylamide risk
Acrylamide is a chemical that naturally forms when starchy food such as potatoes or cereals is baked, fried or roasted at above 120°C. Lab tests have shown that acrylamide in the diet causes cancer in animals and scientists have concluded it potentially increases the cancer risk for consumers of all ages. In 2015, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that acrylamide in food was a major public health concern.
Consumers are exposed to acrylamide through industrially-produced foods, such as crisps, bread, biscuits, coffee, but also through home cooking, for example, if they cook fries above 175°C or burn their morning toast.
While the EC and the State of California have been the first to take legislative action to reduce acrylamide levels, regulatory bodies in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and China are also investigating the dietary risk of acrylamide and are working with the food industry to develop risk management options.
The latest EU acrylamide regulations came into force in April 2018, marking the beginning of the law which limits the amount of acrylamide allowed in packaged foods and forces manufacturers to closely examine and reduce acrylamide levels in products.
The legislation describes practical measures based upon best practice guidelines developed by the food industry to mitigate acrylamide formation in a range of foods.
Since the 2018 acrylamide regulation came into force in Europe, food manufacturers, fast-food chains and restaurants must ensure acrylamide levels in their products remain below indicative benchmarks set in the law. For instance, techniques to reduce acrylamide in potato-based products include using potato varieties less likely to develop acrylamide, storing them properly and frying them at a minimum temperature.
Industry has responded to concerns and new regulations by continuously innovating in this space. For example, in January 2019, Kerry partnered with Renaissance BioScience Corp to launch Acryleast, a targeted solution for acrylamide reduction. The clean-label non-GMO yeast is rich in asparaginase enzyme, which can reduce acrylamide levels by up to 90 percent.
In September 2018, a report from DSM's Global Insights Series revealed that consumers are still largely unaware of acrylamide – but those who do know something about acrylamide, know enough to be concerned. The study was conducted among consumers in France, Germany, the UK and the US.

Historical timeline
 1965 Control Data Corporation established Control Data Institutes in the United States.
 1967 The first foreign Institute was established in Frankfurt.
 1976 The PLATO computer-based education system was announced.
 1977 PLATO Systems were implemented at all United States Institutes.
 1978 Institutes and learning centers numbered sixty-nine worldwide.
 1989 Institutes in the United States (Control Data Institute and the Institute for Advanced Technology) were sold off by Control Data Corporation to Human Capital Corporation, Edina, MN.  At that time, the two business served 18,000 students/attendees.  Terms of the cash sale were not disclosed.  The company was named "Career Development Institutes", however they did not last very long, and they then sold the Canadian Schools to A.B. McKelvey, who had been a VP for Control Data. He kept the name "CDI", however it did not stand for anything.
 1990 Mr. McKelvey took the company public, and changed the name to CDI College.
 2003 It was subsequently sold to Corinthian Colleges, Inc., a large US based education company.

That's right, the hotly anticipated hair dye collection from the Paramore lead singer is officially going to be available to pre-order in a few short hours. Paramore fans and adventurous hair-dyers, take note. This is how to buy Williams' Good Dye Young hair dye line when it goes on sale April 15.
The Paramore singer has been talking about releasing her own hair dye line for years. After all, she's known almost as well for her brightly-colored hair as she is her killer vocals. As soon as she announced she would be releasing her own hair dye line (that also happens to be vegan and cruelty-free), Williams' fans started counting down the days until they could get the collection of four bright-colored hair dyes. Luckily, that day is finally here.
According to the company, the dyes will officially be available for pre-order on April 15. So how do you get them? You'll need to go to the company's website, GoodDyeYoung.com, on April 15 and place an order there. I recommend setting an alarm, because those dyes are going to sell out fast.
The company posted this Instagram with all the company's dyes (and convenient swatches) and said in the caption they'd officially be on the website tomorrow.
And how amazing does the dye look on all the people in this Instagram promo video? I love how vibrant they are.
The company hasn't announced the time the dyes will go on sale, but I bet it'll be in the morning. But if you absolutely need to get the dye in the first round, checking the website when you first wake up is probably a great idea. If you're lucky, you'll have bright new hair just in time for summer weather.

China implements mandatory face scans for mobile phone users, report says
The new mandate went into effect on Sunday.

Registering a phone number in China just got very personal.
James Martin/CNET
Chinese telecom operators are now reportedly required to scan the faces of people registering new phones. The mandatory "portrait matching," which officially began Sunday, means customers have to record themselves turning their head and blinking if they want to register for a new phone number. The mandate is part of China's plan to tighten cyberspace controls and crack down on fraud.
A notice about the change from the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology went out in September, according to a Sunday report from AFP. The notice, obtained by AFP, said that telecom operators should use "artificial intelligence and other technical means" to verify a person's identity when they get a new number. In addition, the notice said the ministry will continue to "increase supervision and inspection."
China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile, the country's three largest carriers, are state-owned. It's not known at this time how the law will apply to existing accounts, according to Reuters.
Facial recognition has been gaining momentum in China. The country is home to Megvii and SenseTime, two of the world's leading facial recognition companies. Supermarkets, subway systems and airports already use facial recognition technology. Alibaba, an online e-commerce company, lets people pay with their face in some locations, according to Reuters.
By 2020, China plans to give all of its 1.4 billion citizens a personal score, based on behavior, using facial recognition, artificial intelligence, smart glasses and other technologies to monitor and rate its citizens -- a plan that's raised numerous privacy concerns among US officials.
The Chinese Embassy didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Q: How to save values from option to one array cell in a loop So I got a loop of processes. You can check it here.
So the point is my system can have different number of processes. And for each process there can be more than one studio. What I want to achieve is to save studios under one process into one array cell divided by coma. So later I could use this array and split studios to insert it to database.
My save function:
var LISTOBJ = {
saveList: function() {
$(".output").html("");
$(".studio").each(function() {
  var listCSV = [];
  $(this).find("input").each(function() {
    listCSV.push($(this).text());
  });
  var values = '' + listCSV.join(',') + '';
  $(".output").append("<input type='text' name='studio[]' value='" + values + "' />");
  $("#output").append("
" + values + "
");
  console.debug(listCSV);
});

}
}
But it seems it doesnt work. What do I need to change to achieve what i want? Thank you

A: on html file, on process 1 select option add this to the class attribute process-1, and on the process 2 also add process-2 on class attribute then, modify the saveList function
  var processList = {process_1 : [] , process_2 : []};
  $(".output").html("");
  $(".studio").each(function() {
    var text = $(this).val();
    var process1 = $(this).hasClass('process-1');
    var process2 = $(this).hasClass('process-2');
    if(text) {
        listCSV.push(text);
        if(process1) {
            processList.process_1.push(text);
        } else if (process2) {
            processList.process_2.push(text);
        }
    }
});
listObj.saveList = listCSV;
var values = listCSV.join(', ');
$(".output").append("<input type='text' name='studio[]' value='" + values + "' />");
$("#output").append("
" + values + "
");
console.log(processList);

A: ahh, i think i have solved the first question, about the question #1. on your html file add value attribute on each option. and also remove the div class="studio" hence put the class "studio" on the select class. after that try my code on the javascript file
 // everytime the save button is clicked
 $('#savebutton').click(function() {
    saveList();
 });
 // set list studio
 var listCSV = [];
 // your list object
 var listObj = {saveList: []};
 // save list function
 function saveList() {
    $(".output").html("");
    $(".studio").each(function() {
      var text = $(this).val();
      if(text) {
            listCSV.push(text);
      }
   });
   listObj.saveList = listCSV;
   var values = listCSV.join(', ');
   $(".output").append("<input type='text' name='studio[]' value='" + values + "' />");
   $("#output").append("
" + values + "
");
 }

Take a sneak peek at our first EU election leaflet
Yesterday, Labour confirmed their position on a People's Vote. As expected, they've stuck to the same old Brexit fudge. Jeremy Corbyn is letting down his MPs, members and voters by refusing to fight to give you the final say.
The Liberal Democrats demand better. Brexit is the biggest issue of the moment. The people deserve clarity from Labour. But all they're getting is a cynical attempt at playing both sides.
This whole mess started when Labour's European leaflet leaked last week. So, in the interest of clarity, here's our first leaflet, going out at the end of this week:
Hint - click the leaflet to open it in a new tab
We aren't going to hide from what's best for the country. We've been fighting to give the people, not politicians, the final say on Brexit for 3 years. We'll shout it loud and clear, while Jeremy Corbyn tries to duck his own party's policy. A vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to stop Brexit.
Over the next 3 weeks, we'll be reaching out to millions of Remainers up and down the UK. But this comes at a cost. £10 could help us reach an extra 2000 voters - will you donate now and help us stop Brexit?

Energy at the centre of ESG and critical asset scrutiny
This article was first published in the Australia Financial Review on the 6th of October 2021 - Energy at the centre of ESG and critical asset scrutiny.
It goes without saying that ESG and decarbonisation imperatives are driving significant M&A activity in Australia. Recent deals like BHP Petroleum and Woodside, Infigen, Tilt and Santos and Oil Search are amongst many that can be seen to have been motivated by these forces. There's no reason to think these pressures will reduce any time soon.
Financial sponsors, with upstream investors with an intense ESG focus, are sitting on enormous pools of capital and looking to invest in secure assets with multi-decade horizons and infrastructure-like qualities. Institutional equity investors are under pressure to rebalance portfolios away from carbon-intensive stocks, and everyone is looking to pick winners from the energy transition.
Energy will always be a sector of key ESG focus, and in other sectors - businesses' own consumption of energy will be their own biggest ESG concern for the foreseeable future. This will pose complex questions for boards and asset managers in hard to abate industries where the 2021 IPCC report shows material gains are needed in decarbonisation. Equally, the opportunity to assist those sectors is a key reason why we're seeing deal activity around battery minerals, green-hydrogen and other technological solutions which, when viable on a mass scale, will be poised to reap huge benefits.
APRA and ASIC really led the market on disclosure of climate-change risks while legislation lagged. This has resulted in a growing majority of ASX 100 companies following the TCFD recommendations. But the trendline is still pointing up - the UK and NZ have recently announced new climate disclosure regimes and the Biden administration is clearly going to be active. Capital is global, and ESG focused investors (an increasing and vocal majority) will expect best practice standards to be adopted here too.
Even though there's much to come on disclosure, it feels like there have been impressive developments in the ASX100 beyond reporting on climate risk to actively grappling with solutions. Transitioning to net-zero while technological solutions are still being nutted out is incredibly difficult for heavy industry and is demanding plenty of courage. It's an amazing time when an Australian iron ore champion is streaming 10% of net profits to green energy ventures and our largest listed steel company has appointed a CEO for Climate Change.
Many prominent ESG or corporate purpose initiatives recognise that stakeholder type concerns are most important in firms with systemic social importance. This is where the overlap between highly-sensitive ESG and national interests concerns on energy investment starts to reveal itself. Over the last 5 years the Federal Government has been engaging in a continuous program of intensifying the regulation of critical infrastructure assets and the scrutiny of deals activities in those sectors.
The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 created a framework for managing national security risks through creation of a critical infrastructure asset register and empowering Government to exercise control over those assets in certain circumstances. Legislation currently in front of Parliament looks to substantially expand the scope of that Act, by focusing on cyber security threats to critical infrastructure. The bill widens the categories of critical infrastructure assets, including the energy sector generally, imposing enhanced cyber and reporting obligations. The obligations go well beyond those contained in equivalent laws globally, not least an ability for the Australian Signals Directorate to step in and take control of critical asset IT systems that have been hit by a cyber-attack.
Whilst similar laws exist in other leading economies, the regime in Australia is notable for its scope. In the case of energy, it is essentially a recognition of the integral role that technology now plays in delivering power and that the IT systems and data sitting behind the functioning of the hard infrastructure is often as critical as the infrastructure itself. In some senses, just like ESG and stakeholder concerns, what we're seeing with the critical asset reforms is a statement by the government that some sectors are too important to Australians to be left to traditional free market economics.
This all puts energy transactions right in the centre of complex overlapping regulatory, political and investment themes around ESG, decarbonisation and increasingly national interest-centric regulation. The deals aren't going to slow down, so these acquisition and divestment strategies are going to have to find their way through the middle of these megatrends.

Home Life & Style Kaine Everything Trump Is Not, Says Clinton
Kaine Everything Trump Is Not, Says Clinton
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine – Democrat Hillary Clinton's newly announced presidential running mate – has made his national debut, saying "We are all Americans". Mr Kaine's upbeat remarks contrasted with Republican Donald Trump's pessimistic convention speech.
The 58-year-old moderate Democrat could appeal to Republicans who have been unsettled by Mr Trump's candidacy. However, the pick is seen as a blow to more left-leaning Democrats. In part, Mr Kaine's introduction sought to assure those voters of the senator's left-wing credentials.
"If you want to be right, be a pessimist, if you want to do right, be an optimist," Mr Kaine said, recalling his time fighting housing discrimination as a young lawyer. "I like to do right."
Mrs Clinton said Mr Kaine was "everything Donald Trump is not".
"He is a progressive who likes to get things done. That's just my kind of guy," Mrs Clinton said of Mr Kaine.
The Trump campaign attacked the choice, dubbing the senator "Corrupt Kaine".
As governor of Virginia, Mr Kaine accepted about $160,000 worth of gifts from political supporters, which was legal under the state's lax gift laws.
"If you think Crooked Hillary and Corrupt Kaine are going to change anything in Washington, it's just the opposite," said Jason Miller, spokesman for the Trump campaign.
A former mayor and governor, Mr Kaine is an experienced politician and has been thoroughly vetted. He was on the short list to be Barack Obama's running mate in 2008.
His home state of Virginia is seen as a key battleground in the election. Vice-presidential candidates can typically give tickets a slight advantage in their home states.
Mr Kaine embraced the typical role of the running mate, attacking the rival nominee. He called on Mr Trump to release his tax returns and criticised his business dealing including his Atlantic City casinos and Trump University.
"Trump leaves a trail of wrecked lives everywhere he goes," Mr Kaine said.
Mr Kaine also speaks fluent Spanish, which could help the Clinton campaign's outreach with Latinos – a key voting bloc.
Yesterday, Mr Kaine frequently spoke to the crowd in Miami in Spanish.
"Bienvenidos a todos en nuestro pais. Porque somos Americanos todos. [Welcome everyone to our country, because we are all Americans]," Mr Kaine said to cheers.
However, left-wing Democrats have questioned his stances on banking reform and abortion rights. A Catholic, Mr Kaine personally opposes abortion and has favoured restrictions on late-term or "partial birth" abortions. Also, he was recently among 70 senators who signed a letter urging the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau not to enact regulations that could harm community banks and credit unions.
The Democratic Party is already pushing back, enlisting President Obama to vouch for Mr Kaine. "Like Hillary, Tim is an optimist. But like Hillary, he is also a progressive fighter," Mr Obama wrote.
The Democrats' four-day convention starts tomorrow in Philadelphia with speeches by First Lady Michelle Obama and Mr Sanders.

They started brainstorming together, figuring out what they could do to bring the joy of coding to hospitals. And thus Clinicoders was born.
Clinicoders wants to reach out to kids with a long-term illness. We all know that coding can be fun, so why don't offer some of that fun to kids who can really use it. By learning how to create your own videogame or how to steer a robot with code, these kids can temporarily forget about needles and pills.
Because ill kids are between hospital walls most of their days, they do not get to spend a lot of time with their peers. Therefore, all Clinicoaches are kids themselves. They are recruited from kids attending a regular Dojo, giving these coaches the unique opportunity to show what they have learned so far. For the hospitalized kids, Clinicoders is a nice encounter with someone their own age and a unique opportunity to make some extra friends.
With the help of Telenet and X-Care, Clinicoders started out at UZ Gent. They quickly expanded to the UZ Antwerpen and eventually organized workshops at AZ Groeninge. At UZ Gasthuisberg, a first pilot was set up.

In 2019, Clinicoders wants to help even more kids. Thanks to numerous benefactors who raised money through 'De Warmste Week', Clinicoders launched a new project. Inspired by the Flemish maker program: 'Team Scheire', Clinicoders aims on developing technical solutions for kids that are sick or suffering from a disability.
On top of that, Clinicoders wants to expand to other hospitals, convalescent homes, or any centre that threats kids that are suffering from an illness or a disability.

It may be slightly off the usual tourist beat, but even just a two-day trip to Israel's stunning Upper Galilee region is an unforgettable experience.
There was great excitement at the Hula Valley Park and Nature Reserve. The night before, 30,000 cranes had flown in, and the lush nature reserve in Israel's Upper Galilee, an important migratory point between Africa and Israel, was teeming with birds.
Inbar Rubin, our guide, had been up with other members of the Hula staff at 4:30am to count the birds as they rose up into the sky in huge lines at the crack of dawn. It was now almost 12 hours later, and in between Rubin had studied for six hours, and was back with seemingly unflagging energy at the park.
Lake Hula is a unique nature destination. Some 500 million birds migrate through the Great Rift Valley, the longest and deepest rift valley in the world, every spring and fall as they make their way to and from breeding sites in Europe. It's one of the most important flyways in the world, and the Israeli reserve is a vital stopover for the hungry and tired birds.
For the visitor, Lake Hula is unforgettable. You can walk the park, cycle or take a Safari wagon, going at your own pace along the pathways of the reserve. Birds of every description — pelicans, storks, eagles, buzzards, cranes — are everywhere. In the water, in the fields and in the sky, circling lazily in huge undulating columns. Of the 500 species of birds in Israel, 390 of them have been spotted here.
The park is beautiful to visit at any time of day, but the peaks are at dawn, when the birds lift en masse into the air, and at sunset when they take to the sky for the night gathering.
The tasting room at Adir Winery.
Rubin took us to a spot on the northern side of the park, and as the sun slipped pink and gold behind the mountains, tens of thousands of birds rose up into the air in a cacophony of noise and motion as they looked for safe roosting spots for the night.
Up high, more birds were arriving, including a flock of 300 or so pelicans that gradually descended from their elevated migratory path in slow, graceful spirals to take refuge in the park and build up strength for the long journey ahead.
Our visit to Lake Hula came as part of a two-day tour of the Upper Galilee sponsored by the Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF). The rolling hillsides and valleys, and spectacular views over the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights, lead many to consider this one of the most beautiful and romantic parts of Israel.
Though immensely popular with Israeli tourists, the Galilee is often overlooked by travelers from abroad who prefer to stay in the center near Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea. It's a missed opportunity. Aside from its obvious natural beauty, the Galilee offers a wide variety of other experiences, and it's not that far away. The trip takes about one-and-a-half to two hours from Tel Aviv.
Bayit Begalil was built as a labor of love by an Israeli couple.
There's art in postcard-pretty communities such as Rosh Pina; Jewish mysticism in the hilltop city of Safed (Tzfat); adventure sports ranging from rafting and kayaking to cycling, climbing and hang gliding; nature trails and wildlife; excellent restaurants and wineries; and also significant Christian sites like Mount Precipice, Capernaum, the Mount of Beatitudes, the Sea of Galilee and two new hiking trails, the Jesus Trail and the Gospel Trail.
The region is also developing new tourism projects including a 20-kilometer scenic road that the KKL-JNF and local regional councils have created in the 5,000-acre Biriah Forest, the largest planted forest in Israel's North.
The views over the Sea of the Galilee at Amirey Hagalil are spectacular.
"The goal of the road is to create a tourist infrastructure so that local people will be able to build some economic activities on the basis of this," says Aviram Zuck, KKL-JNF's forestry supervisor for the Upper and Eastern Galilee and Golan Heights.
The route passes fascinating spots including viewpoints over the Golan Heights, memorial sites, historical locations and archaeological ruins of synagogues. It reaches nearby Meron, a mixed forest full of firs, pines, cypress trees and oaks, and one of the oldest and most beautiful planted forests in Israel.
The road will be called the Righteous Path because of the many ancient synagogues and graves of religious sages along the way. "The Galilee was the physical, spiritual and natural center for Jewish life in the first century CE," explains Zuck.
Deep in the heart of the Biriah Forest, for instance, is the tomb of Rabbi Yonatan Ben-Uziel, who lived in the region some 1,600 years ago. Every year, thousands of pilgrims visit the site to seek blessings, making his grave the second most visited in Israel.
If you want to get off the beaten track, a new 22-kilometer track for off-road cyclists has just opened. Jeep trips are available throughout the forest area, leading you into a jungle of wild dirt tracks. The forestry organization also plans a massive series of high-canopy zip wires, reminiscent of the ones in the jungles of Costa Rica.
The lobby at Amirey Hagalil.
When you find yourself growing tired of nature, you can stop off at one of the many excellent wineries in the region for a tasting session. Today the Upper Galilee is one of the top wine-producing areas of Israel. The climate is perfect — long hot days and cool nights. In the last 20 years the Israeli wine industry has gone through a revolution, moving from sickly sweet Kiddush wines to sophisticated reds and whites that win top international prizes.
Adir Winery is one of a number of new boutique wineries making a name for itself both locally and internationally. Located on the slopes of Admon Mountain, the winery was founded by two families, the Rosenbergs and the Ashkenazis, who were neighbors. They planted vineyards in the 1980s and established the winery in 2003.
The grapes are hand-selected, and the fine wines — cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and chardonnay — are only produced in the years when the harvest is considered good enough. The winery's Plato series received four prizes in the Terravino 2008 and sells throughout Israel, North America and Europe.
The same families run the Adir Dairy, which makes goat milk, cheeses and ice cream. The dairy, which opened in 1995, has a herd of 2,000 milk-bearing goats — the largest in Israel. Visitors to the winery's center in Dalton can learn about the history of the vineyard, and taste the wines, cheese and ice cream for NIS 10 per person.
A trip to the Upper Galilee wouldn't be complete without a night at one of the region's growing number of boutique hotels. Perhaps the best known are Bayit Bagalil, Vered Hagalil and Amirey Hagalil, all of which share high standards, top-notch food and spectacular views.
Set up high on a pine-covered hillside near Rosh Pina, Bayit Bagalil in Hazor Haglilit is a lovely, peaceful place. The elegant hotel was built 10 years ago as a labor of love by an Israeli couple from Herzliya. They lived in the hotel and the fixtures and fittings were all a reflection of their own tastes.
The wood-and-stone cabins at Vered Hagalil offer visitors privacy and stunning views.
The only problem was that the owners were a little too select in the clientele they allowed, preferring tourists rather than visitors from Israel. They were also apt to throw guests out if they didn't like the furnishings. After three years they went out of business, and the hotel was purchased by Richard Cohen, from the US.
Today the hotel has 26 large and beautiful rooms, all of which include private Jacuzzis. The hotel, which is often booked by groups, has a five-room spa, a dining room serving kosher food, a pool and a Jacuzzi in the garden. The hotel's large grounds offer quiet places to sit and enjoy the view. Children under 16 are not allowed, except during the holidays.
Vered Hagalil is not just a boutique hotel, it's also a ranch. While it has the facilities of a regular hotel, including a gourmet restaurant serving local delicacies, a swimming pool with a panoramic view of the Sea of the Galilee and a spa, guests stay in private, secluded lava-rock-and-wood cabins dotted carefully along the hillside of the 30-acre site.
The ranch hosts tourists walking the Jesus Trail, and also organizes horseback trips along the trail.
Amirey Hagalil Boutique Spa Hotel is located on the road winding up to Safed. With its archways, stone floors and the olive tree at the center of its lobby, it's a welcoming place to stay or even just to eat. The hotel may be located next to the vegetarian village of Amirim, but the restaurant serves specialty meat dishes cooked with the flavors and spices of the local area.
The hotel, which has a breathtaking view over the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights, has 17 rooms and a spa with a wide range of treatments. The Olive Tree Treatment, developed at the hotel, includes massage and holistic healing using local olive oil. And if all that isn't relaxing enough, the Jacuzzi must have one of the most spectacular views of all Jacuzzis in Israel. The hotel is open to children over the age of 12.

The Calm After the Storm
8:00PM EDT 7/31/2008	 Joe Maxwell
Having survived cancer, a nervous breakdown and Hurricane Katrina, Bishop Paul S. Morton is spreading a message of hope in New Orleans and across the nation.
Bishop Paul S. Morton leads churches in New Orleans and Atlanta, broadcasts nationally on radio and TV, and records award-winning gospel music. But his office in New Orleans' Uptown district remains remarkably humble.
A narrow hallway with old, linoleum floors leads to a room where Morton's disarming smile and voice are the finest features. Except for the crisp black suit and gold tie he wears, Morton seems more like an accessible father than a major ministry personality. "Christ gets all the glory [for the ministry's influence]," he says with conviction.
It is conviction born from recent years of trial.
In 1998, Morton suffered a nervous breakdown after he made some financial decisions for his church that he admits were poor. In 2005, his then-20,000-strong New Orleans congregation was smashed by Hurricane Katrina and scattered to cities across the South. The following year he was diagnosed with colon cancer that is now in remission. Morton, 57, quickly says God carried him through it all.
"It makes me feel proud just to see how God is using Bishop Morton to touch and change lives of people," says his executive assistant of 14 years, Jan Breaux. "As much as God uses him, he becomes more humble."
His humility registers in the soulful pleas Morton issues through his music. In 2003 he released Let It Rain, a powerful cry to be filled with the Holy Spirit's power. Then in 2006, after his struggles with Hurricane Katrina, cancer and mental illness, he returned to New Orleans, giving God glory in a new CD, Still Standing.
He believes God has him right where He wants him. After more than 40 years in ministry, Morton now feels called to be "a sign to the nation," offering to America the very "message of hope" he preaches to his New Orleans church. The road, however, has been challenging.
Bapticostal Power
Morton grew up in Windsor, Ontario, the son of a popular Pentecostal pastor who preached widely in Canada and in nearby Detroit. But despite his father's church and the ministry relationships he had been forming since he began preaching at age 16, Morton sensed God telling him, "Leave and come to New Orleans."
"It did not seem to make sense," Morton says in reflection. "I asked the Lord--'Why would You send me to the South, where I know nobody?'"
Although he was reared in the Church of God in Christ, Morton says God led him to visit Greater St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church in New Orleans' Uptown district. Six months later, he became assistant pastor, drawn to St. Stephen's Baptist emphasis on salvation and the Word. In 1975, the church's senior pastor died, and Morton, at 24, was tapped as successor. He later married the pastor's daughter, Debra.
The church saw many conversions leading to exponential growth. Christopher Sylvain, a former nightclub musician, became a Christian through Morton's ministry. "I was fascinated with the bishop," says Sylvain, now Morton's first assistant pastor. "I've always just been fascinated by his desire to be closer to God."
While partying one night on Bourbon Street, another young man heard the Holy Spirit tell him, "Go to church." During an altar call at St. Stephen, Avery Johnson accepted Christ. "I had considered myself a Christian, but I wasn't," Johnson says. "That day, I changed dance partners."
Today Johnson, who hit the winning shot for the San Antonio Spurs when they won the 1999 NBA championship, is the head coach for the Dallas Mavericks. "I have tried to be a good example of what a man of God is," Johnson told Charisma. "Whether it has been witnessing, the way I play, the way I prepare or the way I forgive somebody, I try to be a good example."
As Morton's first church began to swell, he never stopped operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He finally accepted the fact that he "knew too much about the Holy Ghost to ignore it." So in 1992 he changed the church's name to Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church.
He convened top church leaders--including Kenneth Ulmer of Faithful Central Bible Church in Los Angeles and Eddie Long of what was then New Birth Baptist Church in Atlanta--to found the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, seeking to meld the best of the black Baptist and Pentecostal traditions.
With Morton as presiding bishop, the fellowship held its first national conference in 1994, when 25,000 descended on the Louisiana Superdome. Today the fellowship has more than 5,000 affiliates worldwide, though several of its founding leaders, including Ulmer and Long, are now independent of the group.
Meanwhile, St. Stephen's ministry in New Orleans kept expanding. In 1997 it purchased a military base and renamed it St. Stephen City. It provided affordable housing to needy families. St. Stephen Manor opened near Morton's Uptown church to house about 50 families.
Morton bought an office building to serve as headquarters for community-related efforts and the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship's national headquarters. By the late 1990s, Greater St. Stephen had grown to more than 20,000. Morton was named an honorary city council member and was included in many key New Orleans leadership efforts. But despite his busy schedule, he remained committed to his church.
One Church, Two Cities
Morton has always kept a busy work schedule. "Tomorrow, we go in and take care of office business in Atlanta," Morton says as he waits for a plane in New Orleans.
When Hurricane Katrina hit, Morton and his wife planted a second church, Changing a Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church, in Atlanta. "I prepare to lead a Bible study in Atlanta on Thursday, and we also have a Bible study in New Orleans that either my wife or I lead," Morton says. "Most often, I am out preaching Friday somewhere around the United States."
There was a time when Morton made 65-plus trips a year to speaking and singing engagements--plus caring for his church. "And there are only 52 weeks in a year," laughs Brandon Boutin, 27, who is an elder at Greater St. Stephen church.
But when Morton suffered from a nervous breakdown in 1998--an episode he speaks candidly about--he says God showed him he needed to slow down and make quality time for refreshment and family. Today Morton seeks to model a more balanced lifestyle.
"He is very kind, sensitive, forgiving," Sylvain says. "And he lives it with his family so you can see it through his family."
With his wife of 31 years, Morton has raised three children to adulthood. All now are actively involved in ministry. And he has mentored many spiritual children who now work alongside him.
"Bishop Morton is a father," Boutin says. "He's an honorable man of integrity. He speaks truth to power; he's very caring. He is definitely a role model, and a man that believes in striving for excellence."
These days, Morton often rises at 3 a.m. to pray; after a few hours he takes a quick power nap. "It's just me and the Lord, no phone ringing," he says. "I have to have that quiet time."
When Hurricane Katrina hit on August 29, 2005, wiping out virtually all of Greater St. Stephen's New Orleans facilities except for the original Uptown church building, God again used catastrophe to bring Morton into a new place of ministry.
Morton was in Baltimore when the storm passed through. Weeks later, when he finally was able to enter New Orleans, his members had been scattered to Houston; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Atlanta; and other cities.
He dove right into rebuilding efforts, helping lead a coalition of pastors. The city looked to him for strategic organization of the thousands affiliated with his ministry.
But today Morton is unsatisfied with the rebuilding effort. "It is still going too slow for me," he says. "When you look at the Ninth Ward in east New Orleans ... it still seems like a Third World country."
There is way too much red tape, he says. Just getting a building permit takes months. So does accessing federal and state funds. The problem is "definitely politics," he says. "Now the past governor is out and a new governor is in. We are giving time to see if the problem gets better.
"We are really trying to get to the bottom of it. We're really sick of all the excuses. Let's just recover."
Morton says the hurricane exposed public corruption in the city; it showed the ugly realities of the city's deep sin problems. And it exposed latent racism, he says, something he believes remains not only in New Orleans but also throughout the nation.
"I think that we have come a long way concerning race in our nation," he says. "Never in my lifetime did I think our white brothers and sisters might support a black man like Barack Obama for president as they have.
"We have come a long way there. But we have to learn how to appreciate each other. It's still a problem in the church. This generation is really tired of it.
"It's not just on the white side. ... We have to realize that there are some intelligent, gifted people on both sides [of the racial divide], and we need to be united."
Giving the Holy Spirit Control
Such candor about tough issues is a trademark of Morton's. He never shies from speaking his mind. For instance, when the Congressional Black Caucus signaled support for gay marriage, Morton went to Washington, D.C., to take them to task.
And when a 13-year-old black youth was arrested and charged spuriously with murder last year in New Orleans, Morton challenged justice officials via the media, asking if race influenced the charges.
Morton is also willing to scrutinize himself on the hard issues. Recently he shifted his views about women in ministry, which he had opposed. He did more than talk. In May, he made Debra the senior pastor of Greater St. Stephen in New Orleans, lowering himself to the role of co-pastor. He remains senior pastor in Atlanta, with Debra as co-pastor.
"When I was young, I was big on having Debra stay at home and not work and raise a family," he explains, chuckling. "I was very old-fashioned then--young, but old-fashioned."
Sylvain calls it "a living illustration of all [Morton's] theology."
"Elder Debra has the authority; Bishop Morton doesn't hover over," Sylvain says. "This shows the Pentecostal and Baptist churches that the Spirit has control and can speak through whom He would speak through. It recognizes the power of the Spirit."
These days, Morton also is emphasizing the importance of biblical balance. "We teach prosperity in our churches, but ... we also preach about getting saved, too," he says.
He believes his stepping down as senior pastor in New Orleans models a balanced view of men's and women's roles. He swells with enthusiasm when he speaks of his wife's advancement in ministry.
"For her to come in and initially serve as 'first lady' in our church, then head up our ministries in New Orleans, then in 1993 become my co-pastor and now become my senior pastor in New Orleans--that's wonderful. I am so proud of her when I see her preach. She gets everything she possibly can out of a passage of Scripture.
"She takes people very seriously. She is a lover of people. That's important."
After Hurricane Katrina struck, Morton had considered starting a new church in Houston, where many of his people were. But he says God directed him to plant the congregation in Atlanta. It did not seem altogether rational, much like when God first told him to move to New Orleans in his youth.
Morton started the Atlanta church with 220 people, and he says God immediately began blessing the congregation. Playwright and film producer Tyler Perry, a former St. Stephen member, gave the Atlanta church $5 million to help get it started. Based in Atlanta himself, Perry is helping build a major new campus for the church's ministries and plans to put his new movie studio there. "It's going to be like Hollywood in Atlanta," Morton says, noting that today the church draws 6,000.
Morton believes his church complements, rather than competes, with other "great churches in Atlanta," such as Creflo Dollar's World Changers ministry and Eddie Long's New Birth Cathedral. Morton says he leads "one church in two cities." The two-city congregation has adopted a theme: "Changing the way we do church."
"We can't be cliquish," Morton says. "We can't just praise the Lord while we are in church--we have to go outside the church."
Again, Morton emphasizes balance. There has to be balance between praise and worship and preaching salvation and repentance, he says. Concerned about many who seem to be straying from the faith into spurious teachings, Morton wants to preach this message of balance to as many as possible.
"The devil is taking the most powerful and influential people and using them around the nation to lead people astray," he says. "Look at Oprah Winfrey. Go to the Internet and see the message she's telling people. We have to break yokes and tell people to dare to believe again. People are searching, and Jesus is the only way."
Meanwhile, Greater St. Stephen stays firmly planted in New Orleans' struggling, crime-ridden Uptown neighborhood. Twisted concrete and hurricane debris linger everywhere.
But Paul and Debra Morton are not put off at all. They remain as committed as ever to their New Orleans body. Its outreach ministries have dropped by necessity from more than 60 to about 15, but the key ones continue--ministry to drug addicts, to the homeless, to senior citizens in need of housing.
A sign outside the Uptown church building proclaims to New Orleans that it can still count on the Mortons. They are "repositioning" their ministry efforts, the sign says, not retiring them. After all, Morton says smiling, "Jesus stayed on earth 33 years, then He repositioned."

A Chicago-area man has been arrested after allegedly Tasering his wife three times to settle a bet between the two over the outcome of the Monday night Bears-Packers game.
According to the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, John Grant, 42, of Tinley Park, Ill., has been charged with the use of an electric weapon.
Grant, a Bears fan, told police the couple had made a bet over the Bears-Packers game that if the Bears won he could use his stun gun on her, NBC Chicago reports.
Grant and his wife, a Packers fan, had been smoking cigarettes outside a bar in Mayville, Wis., early Tuesday morning when he allegedly used the stun gun three times on his wife -- twice on her buttocks and the third time on her thigh, the Daily Citizen reports.
"It takes not only the Packer and Bear rivalry to a new level, it takes the spousal rivalry (to a new level)," Mayville Police Chief Christopher MacNeill told the Chicago Tribune of the incident.
If convicted on the charge, Grant could face up to six years in prison and $10,000 in fines.

Leeds United have joined both Aston Villa and West Brom in the race to sign Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings, according to a report from the Birmingham Mail.
Mings joined The Cherries for £8million back in 2015 but a combination of a major injury plus the good form of other players has meant that he's only been able to play a total of 17 Premier League games since his arrival.
Furthermore, Bournemouth are reportedly interested in a deal to sign Brentford defender Chris Mepham and his arrival would only serve to push Mings further down Eddie Howe's pecking order.
The likelihood is that Mings will only leave Bournemouth on loan this month and Leeds have reportedly shown an interest in taking the 25-year-old for the remainder of the season as they look to strengthen their squad for what is set to be an exciting race for promotion.
Villa and West Brom would also like to take Mings on loan, but as it stands, no official offers have been reported for the former Ipswich defender.
